Demon Lord 3

I got up in the middle of the night and looked up at the starry sky. I still felt it wasn't enough, so I opened all the windows and greedily inhaled the outside air, as if I could breathe all the air into my lungs. Zhou Chuyuan wrapped his blanket tightly around himself and then came over and pulled my blanket away. When I had all the blankets on me, I still felt cold. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and asked me curiously what I was doing. I then noticed he was shivering from the cold, so I quickly closed the window and said, "I forgot, it gets chilly here at night. I just thought the starry sky outside was beautiful. If you're cold, I'll close it." Zhou Chuyuan shook his head after getting dressed. "No, I'm not cold at all. I just had a dream. Maybe it's because of the change in temperature outside, but I didn't feel anything after waking up." After saying that, I went to the bedside to breathe in the fresh air with him. He pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Do you think there are people on those stars?" I nodded. "The reason why the stars look so small to us is because they are very far away. Maybe those planets are much bigger than our Earth. And many of the ones that are shining brightly aren't necessarily planets, but stars, like the Sun. Look at this place, it's so big and bright, its mass must be countless times greater than Earth's. It's so far away and so big, there might be people there!" Zhou Chuyuan sighed and said, "I've thought about this too. Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing if there are extraterrestrials? Are they developing technology or cultivation itself? Let's put it this way: on Earth, whether it's the Great World, the Small World, or the worlds we can randomly travel to, we rely on our cultivation level. No matter how advanced the technology, we can utilize it. But in the universe, our strength is useless; it's like punching cotton." Hearing this, I felt a little dazed. In my dream last time, the True God designed a wooden stake for me. Every time I hit it hard, it was like hitting cotton. When I eased up a little, it had a different effect on that ball of cotton. In this situation, my way of escaping was to lie down and observe the world, which wouldn't work in normal logic. Zhou Chuyuan has now brought this up; perhaps this is the direction! The night sky may hold many secrets, but upon closer inspection, I've discovered things invisible to our realm. Every world contains boundless energy, which we must utilize once we reach a certain level. However, this energy isn't inexhaustible. One day, when humanity reaches its limit and exhausts all these resources, there will be utter desolation. It's like running out of electricity in a television; we'll have no power left, but we can recharge our batteries. Once charged to a certain level, we can continue using them. If even external electricity disappears, we'll be plunged into darkness, forced to search for different places and find more electricity. This is one step in the exploration of the universe, and these are the challenges Shi Qianyu faces. However, we are different from her. In this century and even in other micro-centuryes, what we have accomplished is merely cultivation. Without destroying the world, we cannot escape the confines of this world, which seems like a giant trap, holding us within it and preventing our escape. Meanwhile, they aspire to reach even more distant parts of the universe. They are exploring the void, while we are challenging the known. The highest level we know is the True God. Knowing the vast gap between ourselves and them, we still strive to fight. They, on the other hand, are exploring the unknown, those void places that ordinary people cannot reach. If I were placed in a void, I couldn't guarantee I'd discover a more advanced civilization. I might just remain asleep in that void forever. It's about challenging your own heart and fighting against yourself. Looking up at the night sky, perhaps the stars we see are simply the direction we've reached. But should we become obsessed with this night sky, or should we seek out some known world to achieve perfection and reach the ultimate? Everyone might develop some dependence on this world, but the more capable will escape this century of dependence and head towards a new century. The moment they set sail represents one civilization moving towards another. Stars don't speak, nor do they lie; they only appear when we are lost.
