Chapter 40 Breaking through the darkness
Faced with the huge rock that could not be moved, Yao Luo thought of a solution.

"The earth is vast and boundless. The only thing that is vaster than the earth is the sky."

Since your feet cannot leave the ground, let the ground leave your feet.

The feet that cannot leave the ground are stepping on the boulder, and they cannot push it with force, so there are rules to restrict them.

Yao Luo stood on top of the boulder and applied the force of gravity to his body.

The sky is upside down.

The sky beneath my feet became my foothold, and the extremely heavy boulder representing the earth was thrown out into the universe.

"Stop playing tricks. If you want my body, do it yourself!"

With a frown on his face, Yao Luo stood in the void and pointed his finger forward. He knew that the core of the star was there.

"Wonderful, really wonderful."

A figure appeared out of the invisible void, still looking that disgusting.

"You have passed the initial stage of this planet, life was born again, and civilization evolved."

The empty eyes that originally symbolized nature suddenly contained thousands of spirits, and Yao Luo could see that it was the color of humanity.

"Next is the fourth level, Yao Luo. I am looking forward to you reaching that level."

The scene changed again. Plants called civilization grew on the barren land. The tiny seeds grew bigger almost in an instant.

The process of civilization growth is too short compared to the universe and time.

In the blink of an eye, Beloberg's civilization reached a period close to industrial civilization, similar to the Beloberg period where Yao Luo lived.

People walk on the bluestone-floored streets, busy figures, without stopping for a moment, just like the advancing civilization.

The light of lightning takes away the darkness, the power of steam shortens the ground, and the world in which human beings live seems to become smaller and larger.

As small as the end of the world, as big as boundless.

"This civilization is passing a turning point, a future of immense prosperity fueled by me."

Xinghe stood beside Yao Luo with his hands spread out. He looked at the scene in front of him with a doting look, as if he was looking at a pet he was taking care of in a cage.

"Please stop telling lies. In this extremely prosperous future, is there any place for the human beings you are talking about?"

Yao Luo was unmoved. Although Xing He seemed to be wise and righteous, in fact, his every move was for himself. He did not belong to the human race, and no matter how prosperous the future he talked about was, Yao Luo knew that it was not what people wanted now.

"Do you remember your back garden and cleared a few weeds this morning?"

Yao Luo frowned at the overly frivolous metaphor. After the hardships in the first two levels, he knew that it was impossible to break the rules of the star core world with brute force.

But at least he can control his own will, which is also the result he achieved in Beloberg. If it was three years ago, the newcomer and inexperienced Yao Luo, even if he had stronger power than now, he might not even be able to pass the first level.

"You seem dissatisfied with my analogy. Then I will show you how despicable these humans you like are."

With a snap of fingers, time was pulled to the scene that the star core wanted to show.

The dark shadow covered the sky, artillery fire rained down from the sky, and monsters with sharp claws tore through the void, vowing to destroy all civilization. "Antimatter Legion..."

The familiar enemy made Yao Luo realize that this was the most turbulent era of Yalilo VI nearly a thousand years ago.

"That's right. Even in this period of time when the survival of civilization is at stake, the tiny human beings on this planet have never stopped the pace of self-destruction."

On the desolate land, humans chased by monsters fled into the city. The brave soldiers fought bravely. The moment they saw the people enter the city, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"You, why didn't you come earlier!"

The soldier was stunned by the words of complaint instead of receiving a single word of thanks, and the next second, his head was pierced by the attack and he fell on the battlefield.

The soldiers on the front line were fighting bravely, while inside the city, the nobles' banquet was still full of singing and dancing. The pot-bellied noble ate grapes peeled by a beautiful woman himself, tugged at the collar of his shirt whose buttons were about to break off, and complained to his men why they didn't open the windows, as the heater in the house was too hot.

And outside the warm door, the plump little girl, who was not even as plump as a candle, lit her last match and fell into an eternal dream.

"While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone."

Yao Luo was speechless as he looked at the scene in front of him. This extremely real scene had happened on this planet, and Beloberg, which he and Cocolia were in charge of, was definitely not a safe and ideal city.

The flow of traffic between the upper and lower class areas also provides opportunities for criminals with evil intentions. Many children from the upper class areas want to witness the scenery of the lower class areas, but when they come to this area, they are targeted.

The kidnappers would bring out the children they had prepared from the lower class areas, make friends with them, easily lead them into their own base, kidnap them, and then demand a sky-high ransom from the parents of the children from the upper class areas. This was not uncommon.

Yao Luo had seen even darker things, but he didn't want to think about them.

No matter how severe the punishment is, people's greed will always push them to cross the bottom line.

"Look, look, this is the human being you believe in, this is the weed you want to protect!"

Behind Yao Luo, countless ghost-like black shadows were enveloping him. Once Yao Luo wavered, they would rush up and devour him.

Faced with this situation, Yao Luo's mouth curled up slightly.

Xinghe looked at the man in front of him in astonishment, and smiled because of him.

"It seems that you have really lived like a fool on this planet for thousands of years. The rust on the creation engine has not entered your brain." Yao Luo smiled. Compared with the mental and physical torture in the first two levels, the star core undoubtedly underestimated him now.

"Of course I know that humans have ugly natures. Pride, jealousy, greed, lust, you can find them all in humans." Yao Luo smiled happily, "But you overlooked one thing, or rather, you simply can't see something with the way you look at weeds."

"Everything has its yin and yang. Behind the ugliness, there is always a shining light supporting human nature. If human nature was only ugly, then mankind would have perished long ago. It is precisely because of the millions of lights behind the darkness that the human race has come this far and spread throughout the universe."

Yao Luo's eyes were more serious than ever before. "Human unity, kindness, bravery, justice, and love may seem to you like obstacles to the advancement of civilization, and are not worth mentioning in the face of life and death. But it is often these things that pull people back from sliding into the bottomless pit of the abyss. If a person loses these things, he is scarier than a ghost."

"Nah, Star Core." Looking at the speechless Star Core, Yao Luo slowly raised his right hand, "Since you are called Star Core, have you seen..."

"The stars shattering?"

In Yao Luo’s right hand, a complete sphere containing black patterns was emitting fluctuations that were countless times more terrifying than before.

"This is what I've been waiting for. It's time to end."

"Rated power zero, quasi-black hole!"
