Chapter 128 The Origin of the Universe

Li Yingning's action stunned everyone, including Li Chenzhou, especially since it happened so fast that no one could react.

Li Yingning's speed was extremely fast. From the moment he raised the stick to the moment the Fatty was nailed to the wall, the entire process probably took less than two seconds.

At this time, Li Chenzhou had just finished shouting "friend or foe," which made Duan Lei and the others even more confused. Li Chenzhou shouldn't mistake people, but if he was a friend, why attack the Fatty?

Moreover, wasn't this guy too abnormal? He used such an ordinary round-headed wooden stick not only to pierce through the Fatty, who had activated Unmoving as a Mountain (a skill that claims to be immune to all types of attacks for one minute), but even nailed it into the wall of the war fortress?

"Instructor... Instructor! What are you...?"

Li Chenzhou looked at Li Yingning in astonishment.

"It's nothing. This little Fatty has strong recovery anyway. It doesn't matter if he suffers a little. Buying a lesson with a little pain isn't a loss!"

Li Yingning said with a smile, raising his arm and making a grasping motion towards the long stick on the wall. The long stick immediately flew back into his hand and then disappeared.

"Bang!"

The Fatty's body fell to the ground. He grimaced as he climbed up, covering his pierced shoulder. He looked at Li Yingning, then at Li Chenzhou.

"Instructor?"

"Yes! This is my instructor. His name is Li Yingning!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, then turned to look at the Fatty, not taking his injury to heart. As Li Yingning said, for the Fatty, who possessed powerful recovery, a pierced shoulder wasn't a serious injury.

The Fatty looked at the instructor, then at Li Chenzhou, his mouth twitching. He didn't dare to speak, because he had activated his skill too quickly and brought it upon himself.

Moreover, the Fatty now felt that something was wrong. One was that his absolute defense had been broken, and the other was that his taunt skill didn't seem to have worked on the instructor!

Although the instructor had indeed attacked him, it didn't seem like he was attracted by his taunt skill. It wasn't the kind of desperate rush towards him. Moreover, the instructor had only attacked once and had now stopped. If he had really been hit by the taunt skill, he should be continuing to attack him now, and the expression on his face wouldn't be so peaceful.

Realizing this, the Fatty's face changed, because he knew that this guy, whom Li Chenzhou called instructor, was definitely an extremely powerful person. At least, if he wanted to destroy them, it should be a simple matter!

"Instructor! How did you get in here?"

Li Chenzhou was naturally not worried about this. If Li Yingning had malicious intentions towards him, he would have died long ago. He stepped forward and asked Li Yingning.

"Haha! There's no place in the entire universe that I can't enter!"

Li Yingning laughed, then looked at the Devourer base on the screen, a flash of cold light in his eyes.

"Hmph, these guys are incorrigible, still trying to extract the origin of the universe?"

"The origin of the universe? What's that?"

Duan Lei asked curiously.

"It's the origin that constitutes this universe!"

Li Yingning said,

"The origin of the universe is the purest energy in the world and the core substance that constitutes the universe. If the Devourer's Nest absorbs enough of the origin of the universe, it will evolve again, even becoming an immortal existence!"

"Is that... like the Chaos Qi often mentioned in novels?"

Duan Lei asked.

"You can understand it that way!"

Li Yingning nodded.

"Anyway, it's a similar substance, call it whatever you want!"

"But since it's the origin of the universe, why does it exist in our planet?"

Duan Lei asked again.

"Because, after we achieved the final victory, Fengzi didn't want to be the one controlling the universe, so he shattered the thing that was originally used to store the origin of the universe and even control the universe, causing the universe to reorganize."

Li Yingning said,

"And in the process of the universe's reorganization, because the origin of the universe dissipated, some special planets contained the origin of the universe. Your planet is one of them!"

"So that's how it is!"

Li Chenzhou suddenly understood. He had felt before that his world was different from those worlds used as pastures by the Devourers. Now it seemed that it was because of this origin of the universe that the Devourers attached great importance to this place!

"Then... are we going to stop them?"

Duan Lei asked again.

"It's up to you. If you don't mind being raised by the Devourers, it's okay to ignore them!"

Li Yingning laughed,

"But I want to remind you that if the Devourer Nest gets enough of the origin of the universe to evolve, it will become invincible, and all other life will become their food, without even the ability to resist."

"I guess... all other life in your mouth doesn't include you, right?"

Duan Lei looked at Li Yingning carefully and asked.

"When this universe was reorganized, we were all watching from the sidelines. Therefore, we were not born in this universe. Therefore, all of us at that time are not within the rules of this universe!"

Li Yingning said,

"So... strictly speaking, to this universe, I don't exist at all!"

"So..."

Hearing Li Yingning's words, Duan Lei was thoughtful. He looked at the Fatty.

"The Fatty's absolute defense is completely ineffective in front of you, because you are not within the rules of this universe. Therefore, the rules of this universe cannot affect you?"

"That's about the meaning!"

Li Yingning nodded and said,

"In fact, if you want to break his absolute defense, it's not necessary to be someone like me who is not within the rules. You can do it too, as long as you can ignore the rules—or break the rules!"

"How to break the rules?"

Duan Lei stared at Li Yingning. He had a feeling that Li Yingning's next words should be quite important. It would not only change them, but might even change this world, and even the entire universe!

"Rules... broadly speaking, sunrise and sunset, gravity, birth, aging, sickness, and death! Narrowly speaking, red light stops, green light goes, small things are called rules, big things are called rules, and even bigger things are called laws, but they are actually the same thing!"

Li Yingning said,

"As for how to break them... it depends on yourselves. All rules and laws are formulated. For example, human laws, and the rules formulated in the bases you have established.

"And to break them is actually simple. Either you have the strength to surpass the rule makers, or you have the preparation to bear the consequences of breaking the rules!"
