The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow covered the earth. The lush wilderness, the dense jungle, the roaring and surging river, and the clear sky with a few white clouds. There was not the slightest bit of turbidity or pollution. Everything seemed so full of vitality.
The beautiful mountains and rivers in front of them could purify one's soul. Any blasphemy or destruction to this world was an unforgivable evil.
Everything in the world belonged to man, but man had nothing to do with the heavens. Ghosts and gods were clear, but they were self-aware.
"Wu wu!"
Brown Bear was holding a big pot and barking at him. Luo Kai turned his head and waved his hand. A ball of water quickly filled the pot.
Brown Bear was satisfied with the pot and put it on the fire. He licked the rice and meat and cooked the meat porridge.
They left the Yunling Mountains and passed through the Central War Zone that was still burning. They crossed the Great Swamp Country that was filled with swamps and headed towards the southwest. The terrain was obviously starting to protrude. The mountains were not as dense as the Yunling Mountains, but they were getting more and more majestic. The altitude was also getting higher and higher.
Moreover, the forests were a lot thinner. Instead, there was a very green grassland. A large number of strange and huge creatures lived on the grassland. Of course, there were also humans.
The people here lived a nomadic lifestyle. They were centered around each tribe. They were good at taming a type of big horse that was covered with black scales. This kind of mutated big horse was very fast. It came and went like the wind on the grassland.
This grassland was called the Green Wind River Valley. It was the territory that the Great Emperor of the East had given to Luo Kai. Compared to other human territories, this place was indeed more barren. The people followed the most primitive way of life and rejected all things brought by technological civilization, including guns and other things. But because of this, the people here were more martial and good at fighting. They were excellent at riding and had amazing archery skills. Even if the outside world was suffering from disasters, this place was still relatively peaceful.
The three of them sat on the green grassland. Brown Bear carried a big bowl of meat porridge over.
"Thank you." Luo Kai reached out and received it with a smile.
"Wu wu." Brown Bear shook his big head, meaning that he was welcome.
During this period of time, except for the fact that Brown Bear still couldn't speak, everything else about him was similar to a human. Listening to Luo Kai's daily recitation of Buddhist scriptures, the ape's face became softer. His big nose shrank, his big mouth tightened, and his cheeks sunk. Surprisingly, his face looked like a claw, giving people a faint feeling of beauty.
It was just that its body had become even more bloated. It was as round as a wooden barrel. Luo Kai had intentionally reduced the amount of meat he ate. These days, he had been eating vegetarian food every day. However, it didn't seem to be working.
After they finished eating, the sky darkened. Brown Bear skillfully washed the tableware and put them into the animal skin bag one by one. Then, he crawled beside Luo Kai and began to snore.
Luo Kai was very envious of its carefree life. Perhaps the real return to simplicity was like this. When it woke up, it would eat, and when it was full, it would sleep. Luo Kai did not know how long it had been since he enjoyed the taste of sleep.
Until now, his body and consciousness were always in a state of operation, like a computer powered by nuclear power. He didn't need to rest at all. Maybe in a few decades, he would need to shut down for a while.
When everything calmed down, Luo Kai raised his head and looked at the starry sky. The star energy condensed into a radiance and sprinkled down. Because of the endless star energy, the dark energy in his abdomen had been gradually digested. The dark energy receded and turned into a small ball of light. Luo Kai didn't know what it was, but he couldn't take it out. He could only pour in a large amount of star energy every day.
Tonight seemed to have reached a critical point. As it continued to absorb the star energy, the small ball of light became more and more condensed and brighter. It was like a small sun, which could be seen from the surface of its body.
Brown Bear was awakened by the strong light. It looked blankly at Luo Kai who was getting brighter and brighter. It whimpered. Thirteen was also awakened. His lifeless eyes gathered together, and traces of golden light bloomed.
Darkness and light had a relationship of mutual promotion and suppression. When the dark energy was infinitely compressed, light would be born.
Luo Kai felt like he was hit by an electric current. He shuddered and stopped the energy infusion. He immersed his consciousness into his body. The ball of light faintly made a buzzing sound like an electric current. It was very disjointed, as if some kind of advanced equipment had malfunctioned. In his ears … no, in his mind, a mechanical voice sounded, "Zzz … Rebooting."
An even stronger electric current rose from his abdomen. Even with Luo Kai's physique, he couldn't help but shudder. He hurriedly increased the output of his spiritual power, trying to penetrate into the ball of light. The strong spiritual power overflowed. Outside, the wind and clouds surged. Sand and stones flew everywhere. An invisible storm was brewing.
When Luo Kai fully activated his spiritual power, no matter what it was, he could see through it. The microscopic space could also be clearly seen. The most advanced electron microscope could do this. The connections between molecules and even the insides of molecules could be seen.
When humans could see through the secrets of the microscopic world, then there would be no more secrets in the macroscopic world. There were countless symbols inside the ball of light. There seemed to be some kind of mysterious law hidden between the loops. It was like a detailed program code. It made people dizzy just by looking at it.
The feeling of being hit by an electric current came again. However, this time, it wasn't his body that was hit. It was his consciousness that was hit. It was as if two different electromagnetic frequencies were connected.
The mechanical voice sounded in his mind, "Beep, system rebooting successful. Scanning … 1% … 5% … Internal data is severely damaged. Scan failed."
Luo Kai was shocked. What was this thing?
Just as he thought about it, the mechanical voice sounded again, "Hello host, I am Starry Sky Smart Brain 02138."
Luo Kai asked tentatively, "You are a smart brain?
Who produced you? "
"I am the third generation combat smart brain created by Xing Ling."
Luo Kai hurriedly asked, "Xing Ling?
Are you an extraterrestrial? "
"The data is severely damaged. I am unable to answer the host's question."
Luo Kai's mind raced. This thing was obviously the same as Thunderbolt. They were both powerful technological products. He asked again, "Then what do you use it for?"
"Starry Sky Smart Brain is used to assist the host in combat training. It can help the host to fight and evolve."
Luo Kai continued to ask about the extraterrestrial, which was Xing Ling. The answer was that the data was severely damaged and could not be read. He said impatiently, "Then can you come out?"
"It has been bound to the host. Does the host want to remove the binding?"
The word host made Luo Kai think of some kind of parasite. He said, "Don't call me host. Call me Luo Kai. Remove the binding."
"Yes, removing binding. 1% … Removal failed. The system's internal program error. Unable to remove."
Luo Kai didn't like the existence of this kind of thing that could read his thoughts at any time. He snorted and said, "Then I will take you out or eliminate you!"
As he said that, he condensed his spiritual will power again. Ever since he embarked on the cultivation path of turning his body into a small universe, all the energy that entered his body had to be guided by his will. This was also one of the reasons why he was still safe and sound even though he had absorbed all kinds of energy.
The powerful spiritual will power was infinitely compressed. It circled around the light, looking for a way to eliminate it. This thing might be useful in dealing with the extraterrestrial in the future. He didn't want to destroy it.
The smart brain sensed his thoughts and answered mechanically, "The third generation smart brain is made by Xing Ling. It is impossible to destroy."
Luo Kai didn't care about these things. His powerful spiritual will power rushed into the light. In a trance, he came to an ocean of symbols. His consciousness was like a small boat, floating on the ocean. He couldn't even stir up a wave, let alone destroy it.
