Chapter 188: A Truly Uncivilized World

Before entering this unknown celestial body, Lin Lei tried to gather information about this world as completely as possible.

This world was huge, very huge. The natives of this world directly called it the Universe; they believed that all the stars in the sky centered around their world.

These natives had various forms, and intelligent beings were no longer limited to humanoid forms. But there was also a common point, which Lin Lei easily calculated.

In this world, whether they were giants hundreds of meters tall or little things less than ten centimeters tall, as long as they possessed wisdom, their brains were generally very fully developed, and their structures were similar, and the number of brain neurons was not much different.

The difference in brain size between giants and dwarfs was only caused by the size of individual nerve cells, not the quantity. The complexity of their brains was on the same level.

There were some gaps in their intelligence levels, but there was no insurmountable gulf between them. It was not the gap between humans and chimpanzees, but the difference between a genius and an ordinary person.

Therefore, the intelligent beings of this world were all able to communicate and had developed several widely spoken languages.

However, the level of social development in this world was very low; most places were only slightly better than savages.

The places with the most developed civilizations were almost all concentrated near the equator where the star’s light shone directly, because it was warm enough and bright enough there. However, these relatively developed civilizations were only similar to the cold weapon era of Earth.

This was a truly uncivilized world!

Lenna had a different opinion. After observing for a long time, she reached a conclusion: these countries built by swords near the equator were the highest level that the civilization of this world could achieve!

Further down, society had already lost the motivation to develop; the path forward had been locked by the Rules of this world.

“There are no ruins of any high-level civilizations below. Look, there are many ruins, but their architectural style is in the same line as the current countries, all made of earthen walls and stone bricks, without any major development.”

However, no matter how much they discussed in the Universe, it was a waste of breath.

The innate spirit of adventure made Lin Lei the first to rush into this large planet: “Then let’s see how this world is restricted!”

His Will was built on pure energy, but when passing through the atmosphere, he felt himself break through a layer of film.

As soon as he entered this layer of film, the pure energy immediately became restless, and Lin Lei was shocked to find that he was somewhat unable to restrain the changes in this energy.

Even Fuweili and Lin Xin, who had been sleeping deep in his Will, uncontrollably separated out.

These pure energies began to curl up and solidify into matter. Lin Lei realized something; he did not forcefully stop this change in energy but went with the flow.

After all, Lin Lei was a Pan-dimensional Creature. His massive Will was not just for show. During the process of rushing to the ground, he completed the physical composition of himself, Fuweili, and Lin Xin in the most perfect form.

However, the pure energy he carried was too massive. Just completing the bodies allowed by the limits of this world’s Rules still left some remaining.

Lin Lei did not want to waste it. At the final moment of landing, he solidified this energy into clothes and a sword.

Just as this was completed, the three of them smashed into the ground like meteorites, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

Lin Lei felt his internal organs tossing and turning, extremely uncomfortable. He checked his physical condition; luckily, he only suffered some shock and had no injuries.

After doing all this, Lin Lei habitually sensed the condition of his wife and daughter, but to his surprise, no matter how hard he tried, he could not extend his Will tentacles out of his body, let alone sense the surrounding environment.

Lin Lei carefully felt his condition again; his Will was still incredibly massive, but it was bound within his body by an unknown force—or to be precise, by the Rules!

“…” This was getting interesting. Lin Lei, who had suddenly lost this all-around observation ability, was a bit unaccustomed, but his Will was powerful and solid, so such a small matter would not discourage him.

He climbed out of the dirt pit he had smashed into the ground, patted the dust off his clothes, and walked toward Fuweili and Lin Xin beside him.

The condition of the two women was much worse than Lin Lei’s; both had passed out.

Lin Lei hurriedly checked their states. Luckily, they were fine; they had just suffered severe shock and would wake up soon.

Knowing the specific situation, Lin Lei breathed a sigh of relief. It was good, as long as the people were fine. The previous event had caught him off guard. In this strange world with tightly bound Rules, if fatal injuries had really occurred, Lin Lei would have no way to bring them back.

The metal sword Lin Lei had condensed at the last moment was now lying quietly at his feet, gray and unremarkable.

He picked it up and tied it to his waist; he knew this weapon was probably his reliance for survival in this world.

Lin Lei sensed again and found that the vague connection with his Split Will in the Galaxy still existed in his mind. This also made him relieved; it seemed that the binding effect of this inexplicable Rule on the Will was not that thorough.

At this time, Lenna also appeared beside him. She was much more composed than Lin Lei; at least she didn’t fall down, but landed.

She still had the image of the woman in green Lin Lei had once seen in the Forbidden Domain. Now, she was looking at the somewhat disheveled Lin Lei with a faint smile.

Lin Lei felt a bit angry from embarrassment. He picked up Fuweili and Lin Xin, one in each hand, and said in a huff: “What the hell is this place? My Will is completely suppressed.”

“The same for me. This might be the reason why the civilization in this world cannot develop. Any free energy and supernatural phenomena are prohibited. This is a purely materialized world; profound Rules are all ‘hidden’.”

“Then how do we get out, Lenna?” Lin Lei frowned; he currently had no clue at all.

“We’ll see. I don’t know either, but this world is interesting. I don’t want to leave for now.” Lenna seemed very relaxed.

“Interesting? Let’s see if you still find it interesting when you see those powerful beasts and savage bandits! This is truly a terrible place!”

Of course, Lin Lei was just grumbling and was not really that troubled. This was the confidence of a Pan-dimensional Creature.

He looked around and found that this was an endless wilderness. There were no big trees on the wilderness, just some low grass and small animals that showed their figures from time to time.

The sun was hanging high in the middle of the sky, working hard to travel.

This poor guy was orbiting this world at a very high speed, basically completing one circle in 48 hours. In other words, a day in this world was 48 hours.

There were no distinctions of spring, summer, autumn, or winter here. Various climate changes did not rotate in time but were distributed over the vast territory.

Near the equator, it was always summer. Moving a little south or north, it was spring—or autumn, if you preferred. Further toward the poles, it was an eternal world of ice and snow.

Moreover, because the territory was too vast, sometimes the two sides of a mountain could show a strong distinction between winter and summer. The side facing the equator was summer, while the back was a world of ice and snow. The dividing line was very obvious.

In this world, you could find all kinds of extreme climates, extreme enough to make you think you were in the Universe starry sky!

At this time, Fuweili also woke up. Lin Lei could clearly feel her body tremble, but after realizing it was Lin Lei holding her, she relaxed, leaned her head on Lin Lei’s chest, and quietly listened to the powerful heartbeat in the chest.

Since arriving at the Forbidden Domain, her Will had been sleeping. For her, no great battle of Pan-dimensional Creatures had happened; it was just that she woke up in a different place.

Lin Lei did not speak either, letting Fuweili lean in his arms. When was the last time for such warm intimacy? It should have been several thousand years ago.

However, this atmosphere was quickly destroyed by Lin Xin waking up. As soon as she discovered the current situation, she immediately struggled out of Lin Lei’s arms, and finally did not forget to pout to express her dissatisfaction.

Fuweili was also embarrassed to let Lin Lei hold her any longer. She jumped to the ground, but a look of extreme surprise suddenly appeared on her face. It was because Lin Lei had rebuilt her body just now. This body, of course, would not follow the middle-aged version, but the template from when they first met on Blue Rain Star—very young and full of vitality!

“This is…?” Fuweili looked at Lin Lei in shock.

Before Lin Lei could answer, Lenna next to him interjected: “Amazing, right? This is our ability!”

“You guys…” Fuweili’s sensitivity to these two words far exceeded others. She looked straight at Lin Lei, seeking an answer.

In her eyes, Lenna revealed unparalleled elegance and also carried a fresh and natural aura. This temperament made Fuweili feel like a mortal looking up at an angel, completely incomparable.

Lin Lei knew that if he didn’t explain, the trouble would be huge: “Uh, Wei, this is also the reason why I won’t age. It’s one of the abilities I newly acquired.”

This answer was obviously not what Fuweili wanted; she was concerned about Lenna’s identity. Seeing this, Lin Xin immediately stood on her mother’s side and glared at Lin Lei, obviously misunderstanding the relationship between Lin Lei and Lenna.

Lenna was a World Tree. Although she appeared in the form of a woman, Lin Lei would not care about these external appearances. He considered himself and Lenna to be just allies.

Lin Lei gave a dry laugh and hurriedly tried to fix his mistake: “This is Lenna, the master of the great forest I took you to. Without her help, we wouldn’t have escaped the pursuit of the Watcher Civilization.”

As he spoke, Lin Lei stepped forward and put his arm around Fuweili’s shoulder, showing his firm stance.

Fuweili’s expression softened. She gave Lenna a somewhat reluctant smile and then fell silent. Her delicate female perception made her intuitively feel that things were not that simple.

Lenna didn’t mind either. She just turned around, facing the wilderness, and said: “Lin Lei, so what do we do now? You and I are basically mortals now, relying on absorbing the pitiful chemical energy in food to survive.”

Indeed, the massive energy used freely in the past was gone. One could not gain the power to destroy a planet just by eating.

“What to do? Improvise. Let’s take it one step at a time. This world will eventually reveal its true form.”
