Chapter 330: Exploration of Civilization

In the dark and deep underground passage, the light was dim, and the hard rock walls were covered with traces of knife and axe cuts.

Ding-ling-dang!

In the darkness, the sound of metal and stone striking continued.

"Ahem, brother, I am almost dying. I am sorry, I can't escape from here with you..."

"Master, Master's Wife, Junior Sister, I'm sorry, it's Yongyang's fault that I can't avenge you, ahem! Big Brother, I hate you so much!"

A thin and haggard boy lay on the ground, breathing weakly, holding a black pickaxe tightly in his skeletal hands. Every word he spoke was accompanied by violent coughing, as if all his strength had been exhausted.

"Yongyang, look at me. Remember, we still have hope. We can definitely escape from here. You can't die before you get revenge!"

Chen Chen looked solemn, his powerful hands tightly holding the boy's shoulders, his eyes hidden with determination.

"But, brother, I..."

"Don't talk yet. Come on! Eat this."

Chen Chen looked around vigilantly and saw that the big men in black armor holding long whips in the distance did not notice their small corner. He quickly reached into his arms and took out a honey pill.

With a pinch of his fingers, the beeswax turned into crumbs and fell off, and a pill with a faint fragrance was stuffed into the boy's mouth by Chen Chen.

"Brother! This is..."

Li Yongyang's eyes were filled with shock. It turned out to be an elixir. The long-lost spiritual energy spread in his mouth. Every cell in his dry body was roaring and cheering wildly. He didn't have time to think about it. Driven by his original intention, he swallowed the elixir directly into his stomach.

As the pill was digested, a divine light appeared on Li Yongyang's face, his breath suddenly stabilized, and his withered body seemed fuller.

"Hush! Don't make any noise. The time has not come yet. We need to endure for a while longer."

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing the white jade bead rotating slightly in his dantian, and his heart felt hot. This was his hope.

Three days ago, he was just like Li Yongyang, numb and desperate, waiting to use up his last bit of strength and die sadly in this dark underground mine.

But now it’s different. This strange white jade bead named “Tianluo” dug out from the ore has given him the possibility of turning the tables!

In the past two days, he secretly intercepted a lot of minerals and exchanged them for several pills from the Tianluo Pearl, confirming the authenticity of the pearl.

"Fuck you, you beasts, move faster. If you don't complete today's quota, you will be in trouble!"

Snap! Crash! The big man, whose whole body and face were covered with black armor, lashed the rock wall with a long whip in his hand. The rock wall suddenly broke, and among the rubble that rolled down was a mineral with an obscure light and a strange smell.

The big man was stunned when he saw this, and quickly took a few steps back, obviously afraid of the ore.

"What are you standing there for? Come and clean it up!"

"Humph! Damn bug!"

The big man in black armor snorted coldly, and glanced at the trembling miners around him with his cold eyes, and then he looked around to other places.

There are no less than tens of thousands of supervisors like him in this huge underground mine.

Chen Chen lowered his eyes to hide the murderous intent in them. It was not the right time yet. He needed to gather strength. He only had one chance to escape.

But he couldn't delay too long. This strange ore was too corrosive to the body. He had seen countless people suddenly die. You know, these people were all monks with strong bodies! Ding Ding Dang Dang!

Amid the shouts and whipping of the black-armored men, the knocking sounds in the huge cave became more intense. If they failed to complete the daily quota, they would have no choice but to die. Although they knew in their hearts that they would die sooner or later if they continued like this, their desire for life still allowed them to live one day at a time.

Chen Chen's arms were flying as he swung the pickaxe vigorously. Sparks were flying everywhere, sweat was dripping from his brows, and his eyes were determined. He had to complete his daily quota while accumulating minerals to exchange for treasures in the white jade beads.

Without Chen Chen noticing, the white jade bead that was spinning in his Dantian Qi Sea paused slightly, and a hint of red light flashed.

Bai Donglin took a step out of the low-dimensional world and his figure dived into the dimensional space. His eyes like white fireflies swept over, and everything entered his mind in detail.

"Tianluo!"

"Master, what do you want?"

A gentle female voice sounded in my mind.

"Today, there are more than 60 million Tianluo hosts, spread across Qianyuan Realm and many surrounding star fields. You have also been collecting a huge amount of information day and night."

"During this period of time, I have destroyed many forces and slaughtered no less than three million evil monks. Haha, let me test you. Based on what you have seen and heard, use your knowledge to judge the ruling strategies of the human race's top leaders."

Bai Donglin narrowed his eyes slightly, with an inexplicable look on his face. In the face of internal and external troubles, the human race's top leaders allowed the dark side of various forces to exist. Was it really impossible to deal with it? Or was it intentional?

He killed all the evil forces on his way here, as well as the prisoners in the prisons of major cities, and beheaded them all after searching their souls. There was no innocent person left, and he witnessed too many dark crimes.

Bai Donglin had some vague guesses about this, but there was still a hint of fog in front of him and he couldn't see clearly.

"Master, Tianluo has seen some secrets in the ocean of information. During the development of several eras, the human race has explored the direction of civilization many times."

"The greatest and most far-reaching impact was during the sixth era. The human leaders at the time believed that with alien races around, there was no need for the human race to engage in meaningless internal friction, and therefore promulgated the most stringent 'Civilization Code'."

Tian Luo's tone was gentle and he didn't even need to think before he slowly stated the conclusion he had deduced from the massive amount of information.

"The Civilization Code represents the highest will of the human race. All human forces must abide by it and it is supervised by the Divine Court and the Ghost Palace. After the implementation of the code, the strength of the human race has indeed been preserved to a great extent. As a result, the alien races have been defeated step by step and have lost their power on many battlefields. They even withdrew from the One True Realm and hid in the infinite dimensional space, not daring to invade at all."

"But after billions of years, a huge hidden danger emerged. The alien races withdrew from the True Realm to temporarily avoid the edge of the human race. The Only True Realm was peaceful and serene, and there was no more killing or disputes. As a result, the class of monks was completely solidified, resources were monopolized, and new monks had no fighting spirit. They were all flowers in a greenhouse. The number of strong people decreased sharply, and a gap appeared."

"The alien race took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the 'Rebellion of All Realms' broke out throughout the entire One True Realm. At the most critical moment, the physical cultivators, with their weak dependence on heaven and earth, penetrated deep into the various realms and, at the huge cost of almost severing their systems, managed to quell the disaster."

"Taking this as a lesson, the human race's top leaders abolished the Civilization Code and allowed their internal forces to fight and oppress each other. After all, high-end combat power is the fundamental factor that determines the direction of the war!"

Bai Donglin nodded slightly. What Tianluo said was also one of his guesses. Although the traces related to the World Chaos Era were intentionally concealed by the human race’s high-level officials, if one was willing to explore, one could still find some clues.

The development of civilization is never achieved overnight, and it is inevitable that some detours will be taken. Ambitious people of the human race have been working hard to explore it. Wasn’t Wandering Emperor’s civilization experiment in the Demon-Suppressing Temple an example?

There are countless unknown experiments. Over the long years, the current civilization structure formed by human beings must be the optimal result after countless tests.

Therefore, the existence of darkness and evil cannot be completely eliminated.

"Tianluo, what is your opinion on the idea that good and evil are constant?"

The constancy of good and evil is the fundamental concept of the existence of the Sin Realm - the Seven Prisons. Human monks hold two different factions on this issue. Some believe that this is simply nonsense, while others regard it as a holy scripture.

Tianluo was silent for a rare moment before she slowly spoke: "Master, everything in the world is balanced, whether it is life and death, yin and yang, light and darkness, or good and evil. Since the human race has spread this concept, it must not be groundless."

"Tianluo thinks that things are not as simple as they seem. There are many things that cannot be explained clearly. Those senior officials seem to be intentionally dispersing the 'evil thoughts'. They seem to be afraid of the gathering of evil!"

Bai Donglin narrowed his eyes slightly. This was also what he couldn't see clearly. There should have been other factors involved in the horrific catastrophe that broke out during the World Chaos Era, but everything had been erased. Without any clues, he couldn't speculate rashly.

"Forget it. No matter what the reason is, I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. Whoever makes me unhappy, I will kill them all."

"Haha, good and evil are constant?"

Bai Donglin showed disdain in his eyes, and then he didn't think any more about it. His gaze fell on Chen Chen, who was still waving the pickaxe in his hand without noticing.

"Little guy, do you want to take revenge yourself?"

A strange voice suddenly appeared in the small corner. Chen Chen, who already had a secret in his heart, suddenly showed horror in his eyes. The pickaxe in his hand trembled, and he immediately blocked it in front of him.

"Who are you!?"

Bai Donglin crossed the dimension, and his tall and straight figure appeared in front of Chen Chen, his eyes lowered, with a smile hidden on his face with a flickering light and dark.

"Me? A nice guy passing by!"

Ahem, I'm a bit busy back in the city, so there's only one update today.

I owed one chapter last month, and now I owe four.

Thank you for your support! 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
