I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: The Cruel Truth—Humanity in Captivity

Stark had a smug look on his face, much like a child who has won a bet.

Lin Yi did not interrupt Stark but instead waited patiently for him.

”Haha, it seems you’re not perfect after all, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”

”It’s true that I’ve seen through your identity, but I don’t want to expose you, because my mind tells me not to do so.”

”The probability of defeating you is zero~”

Stark, with a serious expression, met Lin Yi’s gaze and began to explain.

My mind tells me not to do so, what does that mean?

Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled by this explanation.

Stark did not elaborate further, snapping his fingers, and then miniature robots, invisible to the naked eye, began to work on his head.

A moment later, a complete skull cap floated up under Lin Yi’s astonished gaze.

As Lin Yi was thinking that Stark was a freak, the scene before him made him widen his eyes.

”See, my brain is a bit different from yours.”

Stark was right.

A normal person’s brain looks like a peeled walnut.

But his brain matter was a mass of dark purple, continuously churning liquid.

The dense power of the Descent Abyss seeped from it, making Lin Yi’s heart crawl.

Could the person in front of him have already been corrupted by the Descent Abyss?

”Aren’t you curious as to why my brain is like this?”

”If I said that in Shenxiao, the brain of your Chu Xi is also a mass of pus filled with the power of the Descent Abyss, would you believe it?”

Chu Xi!? This also involves him.

The influx of information was a bit overwhelming, making Lin Yi’s mind unable to process it momentarily.

”Your Shenxiao’s Chu Xi and I are both people cursed by knowledge, or rather, people transformed by the Descent Abyss~”

People cursed by knowledge.

On Blue Star, they are an extremely special group.

This group is significantly different from ordinary people, mainly because of their terrifying intelligence and their pinnacle use of knowledge.

Since birth, this type of person has been corrupted by the power of the Descent Abyss.

Under the influence of its power, they possess intelligence beyond normal understanding.

Take Stark, for example.

Since childhood, he has shown an extremely high interest in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

His achievements in these areas have even surpassed almost all scientists in the Beautiful Country.

He holds technology far beyond the present era and comprehends the Law using the truth of technology, becoming a War God. To put it simply, he used knowledge to achieve War God status.

The same goes for Chu Xi.

His mind is terrifyingly brilliant.

Since his youth, he realized his brain was like a computer, capable of completing many incredible things with just input commands.

He is truly a philosophical freak, successfully integrating subjective consciousness into the material world and even restructuring the physical world in his own way.

This was all made possible by the curse of the Descent Abyss.

”As for why Chu Xi lost control, why he committed a massacre in Shenxiao, you’ve probably guessed, having been corrupted from a young age, he is more susceptible to the influence of the Descent Abyss.”

”His rampage wasn’t because he lost to you and developed inner demons, but due to being controlled by the Descent Abyss, or rather, by higher-dimensional beings.”

Lin Yi found this explanation rather mystical.

What Stark shared today were things he was completely unaware of.

He had only heard from the Old Emperor that the arrival of the Descent Abyss was due to the invasion of the Desolate God.

Is it possible that the high-dimensional creatures Stark mentioned....?

Those who have comprehended the Truth Law seem capable of reading people’s thoughts.

Locking eyes with Lin Yi, Stark nodded solemnly.

”You’re thinking correctly.”

”That Tower in the Suspended Sky, I’ve been there. Ever since hearing the Old Emperor’s tales, I’ve dedicated myself to researching the so-called Desolate God, and from his stories, I reached a harsh conclusion.”

”Humans are no different from livestock being farmed.”

After thousands of years of exploration,

humanity finally has a fundamental understanding of the universe—vast and boundless!

The expanse of space is filled with countless planets.

Despite a millennium of technological development, the regions humanity can reach and explore have not even stepped a foot outside the galaxy, and ocean exploration is less than half complete.

As for the bizarre power of the Descent Abyss, humanity has regarded it as a curse, without considering other possibilities.

The arrival of the Descent Abyss brought new challenges and dangers to humanity while also presenting opportunities.

Those blessed by opportunity are called professionals.

They possess terrifying powers far beyond ordinary people, and with time, their strength continues to grow.

Lin Yi nodded.

”I know all that you’ve said, but how does it relate to the high-dimensional creatures and the Desolate God the Old Emperor mentioned?”

Stark spent decades to finally glimpse a rough understanding of this question.

”Lin Yi, have you ever wondered why there is a Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, why Outer Heaven Demons exist?”

”Or have you ever thought about why almost no corpses exist for those who die in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms?”

”The Desolate Gods cast their fodder (Descent Abyss) and use its power to help the beings of the Ten Thousand Realms grow. When those beings reach edible levels, they let them kill each other, turning into more nourishment that feeds back to the Desolate Gods.”

Stark’s words were understood by Lin Yi word by word.

But when connected, Lin Yi’s worldview was completely overturned.

Humans, who regarded themselves as the rulers of Blue Star, are nothing more than ’food’ farmed by high-dimensional beings?

Then the scheming and betrayal between countries on Blue Star over the years, what does it all amount to?

Is it just a joke?

After a long time, Lin Yi finally calmed down from the shock.

Even though it sounded so unrealistic, he earnestly accepted this premise.

”Stark, what’s your purpose in telling me all this?”

”Are you trying to recruit me into your Beautiful Country?”

”Sorry, even if it costs my life, I, Lin Yi, will not betray.”

Upon hearing this, Stark smiled faintly and did not continue speaking.

With such explosive content, expecting someone to accept it quickly was indeed too much to ask.

So, Stark chose to end this conversation.

”Bai Di’s vision is far more narrow than I imagined. I’ve mentioned these things to him, but he didn’t take it seriously.”

”I’m merely conveying that I’ve guessed your plan to some extent. If you, like Bai Di, resort to any means for national interests, then your plan will likely fail.”

”I’ve said all this just hoping that you won’t disappoint me.”

Saying so, Stark got up and headed to the exit of the welfare place, leaving Lin Yi alone to digest the massive amount of information.

After a few breaths, Lin Yi transformed back into Chen Dongtian, preparing to return to the welfare place exit to continue with his original plan.

But a familiar voice suddenly sounded within his Divine Sense.

”Kid, he’s not lying at all.”
