Chapter 1033 - 451:

"There were rumors before that you had a younger brother... You’re not just sheltering the Jingkong Cult, you’re actually one of them now, aren’t you?"

Sun Shisan’s words left Red Swan silent.

After a long time, she replied, "Sorry Uncle Sun, I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad, to have wounded sent here at this exact time."

"I haven’t officially joined the cult, and I don’t participate in frontline battles. I only take care of the wounded in the rear and am responsible for expanding and developing the ground tunnels."

"But since you’ve seen it, you can’t leave anymore."

Having said that, Red Swan lifted her head, a decisive look flashing in those almond-shaped eyes: "Uncle Li, if you take one step back further, I will have to take action."

"Don’t forget, I am a Holy Blooder, your broken gun won’t be able to handle me."

Li Mao’s face was already pale; he forced out a smile, stammering, "Red, Red Swan, don’t be foolish. If there’s hope, who wouldn’t want to drive away the investigation team? But that’s not a power we can contend with!"

"You still have a chance now, draw a line, I promise not to know anything..."

Sun Shisan also said, "That’s right, Red Swan, I am forty years older than you; I know the outcome of those rebels."

His gaze moved to the scattered items beside the man, where a few books lay, relics from the past era. He looked up again, "Red Swan, I don’t know what you’ve learned, but you must know that our cultural and knowledge system has already been shattered, the knowledge gained from a few books is fragmented."

"I, too, once indulged in past books, fantasizing about driving away the investigation team like heroes overthrowing tyranny, but they are too powerful. Tyranny can be overthrown because rulers need the power of their subordinates, but they themselves symbolize absolute power. Challenging them is like challenging gods, an absolutely impossible endeavor!"

"That’s not true! We have our own gods! As long as the Bright Venerable returns, we can definitely defeat the invaders!"

Looking at the angry Red Swan in front of him, Sun Shisan stopped talking; anyone who hasn’t seen hellish scenes wouldn’t understand. The young boy who harbored great dreams from a young age, along with like-minded companions, endured hardships, constantly grew and became stronger, with belief solidifying, solidifying to the point where no death or harm could shake it. Finally, they gathered all the forces that could unite, but all these bonds, in the light laughter of those existences, vanished as if with a flick of a finger, in the face of absolute power, any belief is laughable.

But he also knew he couldn’t persuade Red Swan.

He gave Li Mao a look and then silently chose a spot to sit down.

"..."

"It seems pretty noisy outside."

"Have I come to a world oppressed like Cang Kai’s?"

"An investigation team from outer space... could it be the Outer Realm Demons again?"

"Wouldn’t it be too coincidental..."

Chu Xiu heard the entire argument between Red Swan and the others.

Although he was currently focused on studying cultivation techniques, it was easy for him to spare a little divine thought to process external information.

He also needed to grasp some outside developments, and couldn’t be careless just because this world’s combat power seemed low at present; otherwise, who knows if he’d encounter danger while fully comprehending cultivation techniques.

Of course, even though he heard about the miserable encounters of people in this world, he himself wasn’t interested in meddling in other’s business. Just as he thought in Cang Kai’s world, there are too many tragic civilizations in this cosmos, how could one manage them all? This is the cruel fate under the law of the jungle.

But what piqued his curiosity was...

"Why is every civilization I encounter now a Human Race?"

"Are there really so many Human Races?"

Thinking closely, even the Civilization Envoys he encountered seemed mostly Human Race, except for more alien races in Blood Demon’s arena.

"Given such circumstances, humans on Blue Star might not have evolved from single-celled organisms, but originally were a scattered group in the cosmos. It’s also possible some entities cast a seed in the [Civilization Library], prompting high randomness evolution, eventually directing evolution into the human form..."

Chu Xiu’s mind turned over some bizarre thoughts.

He shook his head amusingly, not lingering on wasted computational power.

In the past few hours, Chu Xiu had already used his supercomputer-like divine thought to peruse a vast number of cultivation-related texts, deepening his understanding of cultivation.

Of course, these understandings were still quite shallow, the Dao of cultivation contains the truth of heaven and earth, high tier cultivation techniques are complicated, where is it so easy to comprehend?

"I wish Cause and Effect Points could help me comprehend," Chu Xiu sighed.

But unfortunately, Cause and Effect Points seem unable to interact with new external information during use. Using Cause and Effect Points is like placing a constant state, a non-hungry, tireless user copy into a space to speed up the transformation, then synchronizing back to reality after Cause and Effect Points are consumed.

This allows one to instantly cultivate many powerful divine skills, the body will also possess identical muscle memory, instinctively knowing how to use them.

Yet understanding and comprehending those divine skills require time to accumulate afterward. This is why every time Chu Xiu uses Cause and Effect Points to upgrade divine techniques, he spends time to experience proficiency.

However, the good news is, although Cause and Effect Points cannot assist while comprehending cultivation texts, it can greatly aid in creating cultivation techniques.
