Human Shackles - Chapter377

In the universe, the concept of time was different. The lifespan of a human was like that of a mayfly compared to a star spirit. Life and death could be seen in a day.

The evolution of life was a step-by-step process. The carbon-based life on Earth was formed from the most basic flesh and blood, and gradually evolved into thousands of colorful life forms. This evolution process took hundreds of millions of years, and human civilization had only broken away from the animal nature for less than ten thousand years.

The life of a star spirit, if calculated according to the concept of time on Earth, would take more than a thousand years to reach adulthood. The lifespan of a high level star spirit was almost as long as the stars. The gap between different levels of life forms was an insurmountable barrier.

Lin Xiaolei was deep in thought, and coldly interrupted, "So you know I'm not human?"

Luo Kai nodded, and then hurriedly said, "I don't mind."

Lin Xiaolei almost choked. She was the noblest star spirit in the universe, and this little bastard took advantage of her and still acted like he was innocent. She took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart and continued to ask, "Then do you know what I am?"

"Hmm … I think you're a star spirit."

Lin Xiaolei was surprised, "How did you know?"

"I saw it in an ancient book."

Lin Xiaolei did not talk to him anymore. She walked to the side and sat cross-legged, silently thinking about the situation last night. The life form of a star spirit was completely different from a carbon-based life form. Star spirits were formed from pure star energy, and could only form flesh and blood after birth. Earth's life forms were the opposite. They were born with flesh and blood, and could only comprehend and absorb energy after birth.

If carbon-based life forms were mainly based on the physical body, even gods could only turn their bodies into energy. Star spirits, on the other hand, focused on consciousness, or "me". They were born with the ability to divide their consciousness, and could transform it into thousands of consciousness. Their natural frequency was completely different from Earth's life forms. The Evil God created the pressure field based on this difference.

She was the main consciousness, and as soon as she arrived, she was immediately dissolved by the force field. If her main consciousness was wiped out, then she would be completely dead. Luo Kai, as a human, was not affected by the force field. At the same time, there was pure star energy in his body, and his spiritual power was also very strange. It could actually assimilate her energy. When the two of them intertwined, her consciousness and energy were assimilated, or it could be said that she was contaminated by a completely different high-level bloodline, and her body and soul were contaminated.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Luo Kai, who was in a daze. It seemed that she had to thank this human for being able to survive.

Luo Kai noticed her gaze and smiled awkwardly at her.

Lin Xiaolei's face turned cold again. No matter what, she had been taken advantage of by this human brat. She could not help but say hatefully, "Don't tell anyone about what happened just now, or I'll kill you!"

Luo Kai hurriedly nodded. "Of course, I won't mention it to anyone."

Then, he asked cautiously, "That … can you tell me about your world, and … do you know Lu Qing?"

Lin Xiaolei's pretty face turned stiff, but she didn't answer. Gritting her teeth, she stood up and walked to the high platform at the center of the hall. She pointed at the giant diamond and said, "This is the energy hub of Spirit Realm. It's about to collapse. Do you want it?"

Luo Kai hesitated and said, "Oh … this is something from our world. You … you'd better not take it."

Lin Xiaolei looked back at him and said disdainfully, "This thing might be a treasure to you humans, but to us Star Spirit Race, it's like a rock. This princess doesn't want it."

"Princess?

What princess are you? "Luo Kai noticed her last words.

"Hmph, this princess is the daughter of the Mother of the Star Spirits. Do I not deserve the title of princess?"

Luo Kai asked, "The Mother of the Star Spirits?

Which star field are you in? "

Lin Xiaolei raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, but she thought of something and closed her mouth.

After a while, she walked to the bottom of the high platform and gently touched the base. A fist-sized hole appeared and she took out a small box.

She looked at the thing in the box and finally smiled. Just as she was about to put it in her pocket, Luo Kai walked up and said, "What's inside?"

Lin Xiaolei looked at him indifferently and said, "A method to create mechanical life. Do you want it?"

Luo Kai thought of the murals he saw and shook his head, "No. This civilization was destroyed by the mechanical life it created. It's best if these things don't see the light of day again."

Lin Xiaolei said with a tense face, "Hmph, do you really think that mortals can create life?

They're just machines with souls. "

Luo Kai was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiaolei grinned. "Haven't you humans always had the concept of souls since ancient times? This civilization captured many souls from the Negative Space and injected them into machines, allowing the machines to gain sentience. They were the so-called mechanical lifeforms. Machines that gained sentience would automatically absorb energy from the outside world to evolve, gradually breaking free from their control. Mechanical lifeforms have always hated living things, so they eventually destroyed this civilization."

After saying that, she added with disdain, "You mortals can't create life, not even a cell!"

Luo Kai was deeply influenced by the equality of Buddhism and Taoism. He hated this kind of discrimination and couldn't help but be angry. "No matter what, you can't take this thing away."

Lin Xiaolei glared at him and said with gritted teeth, "You're going to steal it from me!"

Just as the two of them were about to draw their swords, the light of the huge golden stone on the high platform gradually dimmed, and the strange force field around it also began to weaken.

Lin Xiaolei turned around and looked, frowning. Her spiritual power was almost completely depleted, and the astral energy in her body had all turned into gentle chaotic energy. Her combat power was less than ten percent of normal, and she was probably no match for this human kid. Moreover, she didn't know why, but deep in her heart, she felt very close to this human.

Her tone softened, "Kid, I'm not taking it to deal with you humans. I want to research and modify it."

Luo Kai shook his head and refused, "No."

Lin Xiaolei stared at him, and the expression in her eyes kept changing. Finally, she sighed and looked at the huge golden stone that had already weakened. After a long silence, she said, "A long time ago, the Astrals sent an interstellar expeditionary force to come here, and a war broke out between us and the gods of your world. Of course, your world was in a terrible situation, but the Astrals didn't have it easy either. Even the starship was destroyed, but fortunately, we killed an evil god. I'm here to look for the weapon that evil god left behind, a war blade called 'Great Clamor'."

Then she hesitated for a moment, and said, "Soon, a few planets that imprisoned the evil god will merge with your world, and many evil creatures will come to your world. Most of them are bloodthirsty and greedy, and love the flesh and blood of living things. The evil god's body will also come, you … you should be careful."

After saying that, her face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily, "Brat, I've told you what I should and shouldn't say, so are you going to tell me about yourself too?"

Luo Kai pointed at himself in confusion, "Me?

What do I have to say? "

Lin Xiaolei glared at him fiercely, put the box in her hand on the ground, turned around and walked to the other side of the hall. After a few steps, she suddenly turned back, looked at him with a complicated expression, and said softly, "My name is Nebula." After saying that, her figure disappeared.

Luo Kai was stunned, and walked over to touch the void a few times, but there was nothing around, and there was no one.
