Compared with the previous long battle, Chen Rui's entanglement with Rolla this time was much shorter. But that feeling was by no means comparable to the previous involuntary state.
The way Rolla looked at Chen Rui had changed. It was full of a rare … gentleness? Yes, it was really gentleness.
The former hellish Rainbow Valley had become a land of gentleness.
If it were normal times, Chen Rui would definitely stay to accompany her, but now the Dark Moon's situation was urgent, so Chen Rui couldn't stay here.
"I'm sorry, Rolla. In at least 1 month, at most 3 months, I will definitely come back. At that time, I will tell you a lot of things in detail. You just wait here for me to come back, okay?"
Rolla really didn't even have the strength to nod now, but Chen Rui tacitly read the answer from her eyes. He nodded in satisfaction, kissed her forehead, carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and left the Rainbow Valley.
(Damn man, he really left … But my heart is very secure as if I have a backbone …)
(It's a bit strange. It seems that my communication with the elements is more delicate. Could it be that doing this kind of thing will improve my strength? It seems that I have to study it carefully. And those stone slabs, I have finally gathered them …)
(No, let's talk about that later. I'm so tired now. I just want to sleep …)
(1 month, you must not lie to me. Otherwise, I will catch you back even if I have to find the end of the Dead Sea!)
Chen Rui left the Rainbow Valley. Under the effect of the newly acquired power, he was not exhausted, but he was full of energy instead.
In fact, his original intention just now was to stabilize Rolla with gentle means. Otherwise, if this unreliable dragon lady flared up, perhaps even the entire Dark Moon would be overturned. Even the Earth Elemental King and Paglio would only end up being buried. Based on the current situation, this beautiful wolf trap … Uh, beautiful man trap was still successful.
No wonder Sir Freud had a famous saying: Sexual desire is the source of all human achievements.
But I also seem to remember that this sir later died of oral cancer.
(Sigh...)
By the way, Sister Zhang Ailing seemed to have said before, "The way to a woman's heart is through X …"
This was definitely a famous saying that needed to be said in a river crab's mouth. However, at the moment when the two of them had completely interacted, Chen Rui had indeed felt Rolla's heart. It was a kind of hidden or suppressed emotion, not only towards him, but also towards herself. For the past ten thousand years, she had been alone. Her crazy experiments were probably just a habit to enjoy the loneliness.
It was a rare gentleness that was inadvertently revealed. It was intoxicating, as if the stronger the wine, the more mellow it was.
(I don't care if she's pretending to be naive, black-bellied, or unreliable, she's still a woman, my woman.)
There would be plenty of time to savor this bottle of wine in the future. The first priority at present was to rush back to the Dark Moon as soon as possible, where his most beloved woman and most trusted friends were.
Chen Rui managed to find a griffin and flew toward the Dark Moon at full speed.
Along the way, he finally had the leisure to calm down. He entered the Super System and carefully examined the "unexpected harvest" this time.
In the Super System, the strange mist of the stellar galaxy had disappeared, and the previous tranquility was restored. However, as the master of the Super System and the controller of the entire galaxy, Chen Rui instinctively felt that this galaxy was different from before.
His gaze fell on the blue planet that once emitted a bright and abnormal light. His consciousness instantly enveloped the entire planet. Ocean, land, mountains, rivers, forests … Yes, those are animals, and … humans?!
Humans are exactly the same as those on Earth, but the civilization is still quite backward.
Chen Rui looked surprised. From the empty space to the desolate galaxy, then to the ocean and plant evolution, now this Super System finally "simulated" higher creatures such as animals and humans.
No, it's not simulation. This feeling … should be real life.
They were living beings with thoughts and independent consciousness, not walking corpses that were controlled by others.
Chen Rui didn't know what this meant, but in any case, the emergence of higher life represented a qualitative change, which was the evolution of the star level.
His consciousness returned to the Galaxy Divinity Temple. Sure enough, in the status bar light screen, the 3D human body light ball became 5. In addition to the original white "Alkaid", yellow "Mizar", blue "Intense", red "Magic", there was a new purple "Transform".
Phecda!
Title: Star Lord
Evolution Level: 5 Star
Experience Value: 0%
Aura Value: 154.8 million
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: A-
Chen Rui almost burst into tears. It's not easy. Including the training time in the training ground, it has been more than 100 chapters since the last 4-star evolution … Well, it has been more than 100 years.
That Megrez is really a scam! After comprehending for so long, Shura, the territory, and the power of destruction had all been explored. In the end, he actually found a breakthrough in "papapa". He finally advanced in one fell swoop and reached the 5-star evolution.
However, this huge gain was really exciting. The reason for the breakthrough may be the stimulation of a certain mysterious power of ancient runes, or the effect of the basic law that was comprehended, or it may be related to Rolla's own physique or the devotion of her soul during the "papapa".
In any case, it was finally an "upgrade".
Chen Rui habitually looked at the 5-star skill tree first.
This time, there were 4 more skills.
[Dual Training] (Passive feature) – the technique of dual training of life and death. The effect of spirit and physical training will be enhanced, and the power of skills will be enhanced. The effect of the bonus is proportional to the realm. Another note: There will be special effects at certain times.
At first glance, this [Dual Training] was a very wretched "papapa" skill like "Dongxuan Zi" or "Imperial Girl Sutra". It turned out to be similar to the China Taoism's Neidan Cultivation. Generally speaking, the higher the power reached the peak, the more difficult it was to improve. This feature could speed up the training effect and enhance the power of skills. It was indeed a very bad * ss feature.
[Star Diversion] (Active Skill) – Divert all the opponent's attack skills for 10 seconds. Limited to 1 use per hour. Each time, it consumes an additional 1000 aura.
This skill reminded him of the Murong Family's unique skill "Shifting Stars" in Jin Yong's martial arts novels. However, "Shifting Stars" relied on the opponent's strength to transfer the attack power back to the opponent. The effect of [Star Diversion] was closer to the "Transplanting Flowers to Trees" written by Gu Long. Although it was only 10 seconds, for some ultimate skills, it would definitely have unexpected miraculous effects.
[Flight] (Active Skill) – Flying skill. Can freely change speed and movements in the air. It consumes an additional 10 aura points per minute. It comes with a special skill of "Sonic Boom". It can fly at high speed instantly. It consumes an additional 3000 aura. Limited to 2 uses per hour.
[Royal Star Transformation] (Active Skill) – Powerful combat form transformation with time limit. The specific form is unknown. It consumes an additional 100,000 aura value and 1000 faith crystals.
Transformation? The specific form is unknown? Could it be Ultraman? Judging from the introduction, this should be the strongest combat skill of the 5-star Royal Star Lord.
Chen Rui noticed that in addition to the aura consumption value, there was also a "faith crystal".
He suddenly remembered that Rolla once said that the territory of the God powerhouse was different from the Demon Overlord and Demon Emperor. It was not only the use of the natural power of heaven and earth to construct the scene, but it had the existence of life. It was called the Kingdom of God.
Compared with the power of piety of the believers in the Demon Realm and the human world, the power of faith in the Kingdom of God was the most basic source of power for the gods. Otherwise, once the power of faith from the outside world was lost, wouldn't the gods lose their power and become mortals?
Faith crystal should be related to the power of faith.
If according to this theory, the planet … life … isn't the entire Super System itself a Kingdom of God? Then I'm the … God of this Kingdom of God?
Chen Rui then shook his head: Impossible. I'm still far away from the God power. Besides, this is not just a country-like territory, but a real galaxy. This deceptive system that caused me to transmigrate to a different world … Uh, the Super System is originally a mysterious and special evolutionary system. It shouldn't be able to mechanically apply the concept of this world.
However, that "faith crystal" really makes my heart itch.
In addition to the 4 newly acquired skills, the original "< Analytical Eyes >" had evolved and became "True. < Analytical Eyes >".
When he looked at the griffin mount with < Analytical Eyes >, it showed: Race: Griffin.
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: E + (E +).
Physique: E, Strength: E, Spirit: E-, Agility: E +.
[Analysis]: Wind attribute.
E + was the current strength. The predicted true strength in brackets was also the final wind attribute, indicating that the "True. < Analytical Eyes >" had an additional analysis and judgment function. It could more accurately locate the opponent's true strength. This was already the final form of < Analytical Eyes >.
The final skill of "True" was also < Aura Blade >.
< True. < Aura Blade > – Star Power attack skill. The palm was specially strengthened like a sharp blade. When used, there was a chance to activate the "< Aura Blade >" attribute, weakening or ignoring the opponent's defense power. It could directly attack the soul state. It consumes an additional 1000 auras per minute. There was no time limit.
Additional skill < True. < Destructive Aura Slash > was a group attack skill. Within a radius of 30 meters, all hostile creatures were instantly divided by the high-speed sword aura. It required an additional 1000 auras. The target could be exempted. Limited to 1 use per hour.
Being able to ignore defense was the real "< Aura Blade >". It was also lethal to the soul or spirit body. Besides, the time limit was removed. Even the accompanying < Destructive Aura Slash > was upgraded. The group attack range was greatly increased, and it could also choose unharmed targets. It was quite intelligent.
In addition to the 2 evolved ultimate skills, some other skills were upgraded and adjusted. The star points of < Star Gate > were increased to 2, and the effective time of the star points was extended to 1 year.
After activating < Scorching Dragon Possession >, the recovery time was reduced to 6 hours, and the skills could be used during the "cooldown period". It was much more perfect than the previous restrictions.
Although < Galaxy Territory > did not evolve into < True Galaxy Territory >, the effect of strengthening himself and weakening the enemy increased to 50%. This special territory skill that could ignore the opponent's territory restrictions, together with < Scorching Dragon Possession >, was the biggest reliance for him to challenge higher ranks.
In addition to < Galaxy Territory >, Chen Rui's own understanding of [Autumn Territory] had reached the perfect state after the understanding of the law obtained in the Demi-God space. Its power was naturally not the same as before.
Inspired by using the power of Nirvana to heal and strengthen Isabella in the battle with Broc, he also had an idea of understanding the buff territory, but the time was too tight at the moment, so it was just an idea.
After upgrading from Megrez to Phecda, the amount of aura consumed by the skills had increased by 10 times or even more than before. If it was in the past, it was simply a decoration that could not be used. However, Chen Rui now had the aura provided by the galaxy garden and the Tower of Spiritual Vitality. His aura value had reached 100 million, and it did not include the 100 million aura consumed to evolve to 5-star previously. This skill consumption was definitely not a problem.
The [Aura Conversion] skill played other miraculous effects more often. For example, when he was in Prison 13, he transformed and disappeared the shackles that could imprison Demon Overlords.
Chen Rui left the skill tree, and his consciousness entered the building light screen. Sure enough, a new tower-shaped model had been added.
Tower of Faith.
Activation condition: 10000 auras.
Function: Collect the piety and faith of creatures and convert them into faith crystals. When the faith power of a certain area meets the requirements, a Pillar of Faith will be automatically built, and the faith value will be doubled.
Chen Rui immediately confirmed the construction without hesitation. A huge tower-shaped building appeared in the Galaxy Divinity Temple. When his mind moved to the Tower of Faith, a prompt appeared.
The Tower of Faith currently automatically generates 1 faith crystal every day, and the number can increase with the level of faith. Current power of faith: 0. Current faith crystal: 0. (100 units of faith power can be converted into 1 crystal)
Source of faith- Not entered.
Faith crystal- Current quantity: 0.
Pillar of faith- Can concentrate and add the faith power of all lives within the effective range and convert it into faith crystals. When the faith power of a certain area meets the requirements, it can be automatically built. Current quantity: 0.
To collect faith power, a Pillar of Faith was needed. Although it could be automatically built, there must always be a first one as a foundation. Chen Rui couldn't find how to build the Pillar of Faith after searching for a long time, so he focused his attention on the source of faith again.
Faith referred to the ideas of sages, doctrines, or belief and respect for gods, fear of ghosts, monsters, demons, or natural weather, and taking it as one's own code of conduct.
The source of faith was equivalent to standards such as worldview, values, and outlook on life. Those who provided faith were "humans" with real thoughts and consciousness, not digitalized zombies.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his heart, "Inject things such as killing, lust, and fear into the source of faith … The dark side of human nature will be infinitely magnified. You will obtain countless fanatics, and at the same time, you will obtain a massive amount of faith power."
It was Shura.
Sure enough, even after the 5-star evolution, Shura still did not disappear and was still tempting him further. At present, the human civilization on the blue planet was still extremely backward, or it could be said that it was almost a piece of blank paper. Once Chen Rui really did this, then the blue planet would become the real world full of darkness and desire in the Refined Mind Illusion.
However, Shura was right. What he needed was just faith crystals. Compared with persuading people to do good, it was much easier to induce people to do evil because doing good required more self-restraint.
"Don't deny the darkness. Aren't you like this yourself? Look at yourself. Greedy for beauty, insidious and cunning, bloodthirsty and ruthless … Are you relying on the so-called hypocrisy to survive until now and obtain the power you have now? Human nature is selfish. Even if you give some hypocritical and useless kindness now, one day, they will reveal their cruel, cold-blooded, and depraved true colors! Why don't you give them a real world? "
During the Refined Mind Illusion, Shura once showed Chen Rui the darkness and ugliness of the original world. The root of all this was the selfishness of human nature.
Chen Rui thought about it seriously. He had to admit that what Shura said did make sense.
Chen Rui's own hands were also stained with blood, and there were many conspiracies and calculations. As for the "greedy for beauty", there was no need to mention Athena, Kia, Catherine, Jía, and now Rolla.
With the increase of power and growth of desire, once he couldn't control his heart, he might become a real demon.
If he was already like this, what right did he have to influence the beliefs of others?
He suddenly thought of a classic line from "The Return of the King" in the classic magical novel "The Lord of the Rings".
In the face of the countless Modo army, Aragorn said this:
Gondor, the people of Rohan, my brothers!
I see in your eyes the fear in my heart.
Maybe one day, humans will become weak, abandon friends, and break off friendship, but it will never be today.
Maybe one day, wolves will break into human cities, and humans will be wiped out, but it will never be today!
Today, we swear to fight to the death! In the name of everything you hold dear, I command you to fight, warriors of the West!
Chen Rui took a deep breath. Maybe one day, these humans or some of their descendants will worship power and money, corruption, and depravity, but not now.
Maybe one day, people will become more and more cold-blooded, less caring, and less civic-minded because of certain circumstances and influences, but not now.
There are things a man should do and things he shouldn't do.
No matter how the edges and corners were ground by reality, people should always have a little bit of persistence in their hearts.
With this persistence, even in the darkness full of despair, people could look up at the light.
If he didn't have this kind of perseverance, his eyes would only be filled with haze even when the sun was shining.
Human nature is selfish.
However, we can't let selfishness control human nature.
We can't deny the dark side, nor can we deny the light.
Not only for the so-called hypocrisy or the "Virgin Mary", but also for the "selfish" persistence that he had when he almost collapsed in the darkness.
Or rather, this was faith.
Chen Rui's eyes became more and more determined, and he felt Shura's tempting voice in his ears getting softer and finally disappeared. His hand emitted a strange light, and he reached out to the Tower of Faith.
