Bai Xinghe tore open the metal film on the seal of a bottle of high-energy nutrients, drank it all, licked the corners of his mouth, burped very comfortably, and asked rhetorically: "What about you, what is your purpose?" ”

"The refining style of your set of crystal armor is completely different from that of several high-end crystal armor refining centers in the cultivation realm, and the materials used are even more precious.

"To be able to refine such a set of crystal armor, to be able to cultivate a master like you, the power hidden behind you is unfathomable!"

"As a representative of such a mysterious force, Li Yao, what are you doing in this eventful season, coming to the Spider's Nest Star? Wouldn't you be trying to persuade me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, cooperate with the cultivation realm, and fight against the immortal cultivators together? Haha, haha! ”

Li Yao was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not." ”

"Boss Bai, in the circle of star thieves, you are quite disciplined, and in the past few decades since you became the king of star thieves, you have rarely gone out to loot in person, as long as you suck blood from other star thief groups."

"Compared to a mad dog like Wind and Rain, you don't seem to have any bad deeds."

"However, a few decades ago, when you made your career, you were still burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and your hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people!"

"That's right, as long as others don't resist, you won't kill anyone, but the goods that others exchanged for real money may also be staked with their lives, but they will be plundered by you in vain, why don't people resist?"

"Boss Bai, I admire your strategy and courage, so I call you 'Boss Bai', but in the end, you are no different from the wind and rain. It's all scum. ”

"If you can wash your name, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the spot, wouldn't it be unfair to those innocent people who died tragically under your butcher's knife?"

"I don't want to lie to you. I can't fool you. ”

"The enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, although the immortal cultivator is the biggest threat now, but as long as the time is ripe, I will still find a way to kill you and uphold justice for those innocent people who died under your butcher's knife!"

"Well said!"

Bai Xinghe laughed, "I'm starting to like you a little from the bottom of my heart, Li Yao!" ”

"Don't you think you're noble? Just? ”

Li Yao stood up straight and said coldly: "Compared with a star thief like you, I am indeed very noble and righteous, and more importantly, I am willing to pay the price for the justice I insist on at any time!" ”

"Good."

Bai Xinghe high-fived and said, "In this world." Many people who claim to be mature do not believe in justice. They think that justice is just a joke of children, but in fact, they are not unbelieving, but they are afraid, and they are cowardly from the bottom of their bones, afraid of paying the price for practicing justice. ”

"Although you insisted. It's just an ignorant justice, and this insistence still touches me. ”

"Compared to you, a cultivator who is both noble, righteous, and so persistent. We star thieves who are selfish, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, as well as those immortal cultivators who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who have lost their humanity, are indeed out-and-out scum! ”

"But—"

Bai Xinghe's expression suddenly became extremely weird, he blinked, and said mysteriously, "Do you want to know, how did the star thief come about, and how did the immortal cultivator come about?" ”

"Why, a cultivator who was supposed to defend human civilization and protect ordinary people, stepped forward at a critical juncture, and forgot to die, would degenerate step by step into a star thief, or even an immortal cultivator, in the dark sea of stars?"

"Tell you, it's simple, it's really simple."

"As long as it takes a second, as long as you move your fingers, a cultivator will transform into an immortal cultivator, once it changes, it will never change back, it will never change back, haha, hahahaha!"

Li Yao's heart moved, and he said eagerly: "Do you know the truth about immortal cultivators? ”

Bai Xinghe smiled and pointed to his feet: "That's right, the truth is here." ”

Li Yao Daqi: "Thorn Star Pavilion? You just said that this is an observatory. ”

Shirahoshi Hawra: "That's right, this is an observatory, to be precise, an observatory specializing in the study of the 'Heavenly Tribulation'. ”

Li Yao didn't understand, what did the observatory that studied the Heavenly Tribulation have to do with the appearance of immortal cultivators?

Bai Xinghe smiled and continued, "Have you ever heard of a theory called 'Dark Forest'? ”

Li Yao blinked his eyes, the words "Dark Forest", he had heard Huangfu Xiaoya, the heir of the thousand-year-old sword-forging family, mention it on the transport ship of the Hall of Eternal Life.

At that time, Huangfu Xiaoya said that if the universe was a dark forest......

Later, on Tieyuan Star, he also heard Xiong Wuji say that if the universe is really a dark forest with no way out, he will also open a road and set it on fire!

At that time, Li Yao didn't think much about it, and thought it was a coincidence, and the two just made the same analogy.

Isn't it a coincidence that "dark forest" is a proper noun?

Bai Xing Dao: "The Heavenly Tribulation has always been the biggest mystery in the cultivation world, from the ancient cultivation era 40,000 years ago, until today, there have been countless monks who have tirelessly explored the mysteries of the Heavenly Tribulation, and there have been countless theories to explain the Heavenly Tribulation, the 'Dark Forest Theory' is the most perfect and self-justifying one. ”

"The Dark Forest Theory was researched by the Heavenly Tribulator Liu Thorn Star 10,000 years ago in this 'Thorn Star Pavilion'."

The Heavenly Tribulation is the greatest mystery in the cultivation realm, and it is also the most difficult to speculate in the modern cultivation theory.

Some people even say that if you have insight into the Heavenly Tribulation, you will have insight into the entire universe!

Li Yao couldn't help but be deeply attracted by Bai Xinghe's words.

Bai Xinghe sat cross-legged on his knees, and while he was healing his wounds, he said slowly: "Ten thousand years ago, when the Spider Nest Star was first discovered, countless cultivators who were proficient in geological exploration came here to explore the underground ore veins. ”

"According to the laws of the empire at that time, whenever a new vein was explored, a part of the mining rights would be rewarded and belonged to the discoverer, and the deeper the veins buried in the ground, the more difficult the exploration vein, the higher the proportion of mining rights he obtained."

"At that time, there was a monk surnamed Liu, who was extremely talented, had a strong affinity for the earth-based spiritual energy, and was proficient in the art of earth escape, and he was galloping in the depths of the Spider's Nest Star, and almost half of the spiritual veins and mineral deposits were excavated by him."

"Therefore, when the large-scale development began, he also suddenly became rich, becoming a well-known mining tycoon in the entire empire, controlling the largest mining group on the Spider Nest planet, and naturally accumulating a lot of wealth, to the extent that he was rich enough to rival the country."

"The nest capital above our heads is the headquarters of the Liu-surnamed Monk Mining Group, half of which was built by him."

"The monk surnamed Liu has an only child, but on the contrary, he does not like to go deep into the earth, but likes to explore the starry sky, and after studying at the most famous universities in the empire, he became a celestial tribulalist."

"At that time, the Heavenly Tribulation was a manifest science."

"That was the peak of human civilization, the territory of the Star Sea Empire, spanning thousands of worlds, in the process of expansion, in addition to the old rival demon race, it also conquered countless starry sky alien races."

"It was the most magnificent time, and all human beings were ambitious and eager to march to a deeper starry sky!"

"In the process of marching into the universe, of course, you will encounter all kinds of starry sky aliens, so the study of all civilizations in the entire universe has become a very fashionable science."

"How many civilizations are hidden in the vast universe? Compared with our human civilization, are they strong or weak? Does each civilization know about each other's existence? If so, what is the attitude towards other civilizations? ”

"These are all questions that human beings at that time urgently need to understand."

"Many scholars believe that the Heavenly Tribulation is related to these civilizations other than human beings, and as long as the mystery of the Heavenly Tribulation is solved, the truth of the universe will be understood."

"On the other hand, whether it is the era of ancient cultivation or the era of the Star Sea Empire, human civilization has suffered many heavenly tribulations, and has a very deep understanding of the power of the heavenly tribulation."

"Therefore, some people thought, since the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is so great, can we use the Heavenly Tribulation as a weapon?"

"Research the Tribulation, intercept the Tribulation, capture the Tribulation, crack the Tribulation, and finally, achieve the 'weaponization' and 'mass production' of the Tribulation, so that the Tribulation can be used by our human civilization and become an indestructible and invincible ultimate weapon!"

Li Yao was dumbfounded.

He was deeply shocked by the human beings of the Star Sea Empire era, the kind of pride and ambition to conquer everything!

I actually want to use the Heavenly Tribulation as a weapon, this is the real "strongest fighting race in the universe", what a demeanor it should be!

"Driven by these two starting points, in the era of the Star Sea Empire, the brightest minds all devoted themselves to the study of the Heavenly Tribulation."

"However, the ethereal and mysterious Heavenly Tribulation, it is extremely difficult to observe it, let alone study and capture, this is a very costly project, and the vast majority of Heavenly Tribulation scientists can only be attached to the empire, under the leadership of the 20 Yuan Shi Sect and the military, they can carry out research."

"The only son of the mining tycoon surnamed Liu is different."

"His father is rich and rivals the country, and the Heavenly Tribulation is also a famous study in the world, since the only son has the talent in this area, of course, he is strongly supported, if he can really crack the mystery of the Heavenly Tribulation, he will become famous, and he can even go down in history, and he will be famous for eternity!"

"Therefore, this father and son surnamed Liu used their family wealth to collect the most precious heavenly treasures in the entire Flying Star Realm, and the super crystal brain with the most powerful computing power, and relied on their rich experience in mining veins to build a large-scale observatory, or 'Heavenly Tribulation Research Center', in the underground of the Spider's Nest Star!"

"Relying on the power of one family and one surname, it is certainly not easy to build such a star palace buried deep in the ground, the construction period is as long as several decades, and many changes have taken place during this period, and even the mining tycoons have died of old age and decay."

"His son, but unwaveringly, after inheriting the entire mining group, instead gave up all his net worth, like a demon, and finally built this 'Thorn Star Zhai'!"

"The word Thorn Star is the ambition of the monk surnamed Liu, so the people of later generations will call him 'Willow Thorn Star' by the name of Zhai, just because he wants to pierce the secret of the stars!" (To be continued.) )
