Chapter 201 How Steel is Made
Chu Yi's eyes blurred and he was almost instantly dragged to a place full of rocks by the defenders.
"Where is this?" Chu Yi looked around, "Could it be the center of the earth?"
"Not that deep, otherwise what you'd see wouldn't be rock, but magma."
The guardian spoke as he gently stroked the rock. Soon the ground began to tremble and the surrounding rocks opened one after another like doors.
Soon, a glittering ball appeared in front of the two.
The Guardian said excitedly: "This is the star core, the essence of a planet. Only planets with star cores can spontaneously give birth to life.
Only one star core can be found in a thousand planetary systems, and only one holy seal can be born in a thousand star cores, so the birth of every successor to the holy seal is a miracle. I hope you can create this miracle. Now insert the absorption chain. "
"So does it really hurt?" Chu Yi held the plug of the chain and chuckled.
The Guardian smiled and replied, "It's unimaginable pain, but before the Heir appeared, the planet with the star core had already been destroyed, and it's likely that he's the only one left, so they don't have to worry about destroying the planet, so the pain will be much less."
Chu Yi's mouth twitched: "So in order to train successors, you not only destroy the life on their planets first, but also let them destroy their own homes with their own hands?"
“This is a misunderstanding.”
The Guardian raised his finger and shook it gently: "When someone who can absorb the star core appears, it will roar with it, generating an electromagnetic wave that can spread tens of thousands of light years.
This electromagnetic wave will attract the attention of all surrounding civilizations. Although the distance is far, there will always be a civilization that comes to the location of the star core and tries every means to take it for itself.
This is the Star Core itself raising the Gu, with the goal of allowing the successor to grow into a strong person in the universe, so that the Star Core can also shine with the most dazzling brilliance.
However, the success rate is too low. The Infinite Empire used technology to locate those star cores with potential, and then used space chaos anchor points to shield electromagnetic waves and artificially raise the Gu.
This not only meets the requirements of the star core, but also makes the test less difficult. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
Therefore, the Earth should be thankful to the Infinite Empire for being able to survive until now. Otherwise, you would have been killed by the surrounding civilizations that coveted the star core long ago."
The Guardian paused here and smiled slightly, "Of course, nothing is absolute in this world. Perhaps in the past ten thousand years, a genius will appear and lead mankind to defeat all invaders and advance the Earth to a higher civilization.
But with the protection of the Empire, all of this may no longer exist."
"If it weren't for me, I guess no one else would be able to save the earth."
Chu Yi pondered for a few seconds and quickly came to a conclusion.
If it is true as the guardians say, then it will be difficult for the Earth to survive the siege of all worlds.
In comparison, there are only three hostile forces, and they are deployed in batches, which is already quite considerate.
The fact that humans on Earth can survive to this day may be thanks to this Infinite Empire.
Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. The reason why the Infinite Empire does this is mainly to create successors and then let them serve the empire.
"So since you want the successor to serve the empire, why don't you take the initiative to help qualified successors solve their problems, such as transferring the people above, so that the successor will be more grateful, right?"
Chu Yi asked curiously, this was the point that puzzled him the most.
The Guardian shook his head slightly: "The resources of the empire are limited. If we want to find a successor to help with the transfer, the cost will be too great.
Of course, if you have proved your worth before absorbing the star core, the Empire is certainly willing to relocate all your compatriots on the planet for you. However, you have not proved this yet, so the most I can do is to help you protect your family.
This is the limit of my authority, please understand. "
"I am satisfied with your words, but I hope everything will go well later."
Chu Yi said this and directly inserted the chain into the snow-white ball of light.
It was as if a straw was inserted into it. Chu Yi just exerted a little force and quickly sucked the ball of light into his body. The whole process took less than two minutes.
"It seems... I don't feel anything. It's cool and comfortable." Chu Yi's muscles were tense, but he didn't feel any pain for the time being.
The guard laughed and said, "Don't be impatient. The fun will start in a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yi's expression suddenly changed.
Pain! Severe pain all over my body!
In the past, when the Eight Gates were opened, the higher the number of gates, the more severe the pain.
But that kind of pain only affects the muscles or bones. It is really painful at the beginning, but you get used to it over time.
Later on, Chu Yi became completely immune to this kind of pain, and he wouldn't even blink when he suffered ordinary injuries.
But this time it was different. The pain was not in the muscles, bones, or mind.
It seemed to act on every cell of his body, as if countless bombs exploded in his cell nucleus in an instant, directly shattering his body into pieces.
But his body was intact, just a little swollen.
"How is it? Are you feeling motivated?" the guardian asked softly.
Although Chu Yi couldn't see this guy's face, he was sure that he was smiling, and very happily!
"It's okay... just a little water."
Chu Yi's teeth were almost broken, but he still managed to force out a smile, "It's no problem, I can still hold on."
The guardian snorted softly: "If you can't hold it anymore, you can cry or scream. There's nothing to be ashamed of."
"I have never done such a shameful thing in my life." Chu Yi chuckled, turned his head and practiced his nameless magic skill, trying to enter a state of calmness to offset the pain.
But he failed. The surging energy in his body made it impossible for him to practice any of his skills.
Now he has no other choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.
And as time goes by, the explosion inside the body becomes more and more intense.
The energy transformed from the star core was finally released completely. In addition to merging into Chu Yi's body, it was also desperately spreading outwards.
Chu Yi knew that if this terrifying energy leaked out, the Earth would immediately face a catastrophic disaster.
So he tried his best to wrap his body with true energy, which not only allowed the energy to explode in his body, but also locked his body surface tightly.
The consequence of this was that his body began to twist, blood began to splatter, and his bones and tendons shattered. The huge amount of energy immediately turned into a deadly poison, violently destroying his body.
A low roar of pain burst out from between Chu Yi's teeth, and he slammed his head hard on the ground, hoping to stay awake in this way, because just these few seconds of pain almost made his consciousness blur.
"Don't pass out, or else uncontrolled energy will burst out of your body, and then the entire earth will explode."
The guard reminded urgently, while secretly wondering in his heart.
The pain of devouring a star core is one of the most intense pains in the known universe. Except for some special races, all other beings in the heavens and worlds, no matter how strong or weak, will cry out in pain when encountering this kind of pain.
But the boy in front of him had already held on for half a minute, and he only hummed twice. His willpower was too outrageous. He was obviously not even eighteen years old, so why could he be more resilient than those old monsters who had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years?
Is it because of the blessing of the four gods?
This is indeed part of the reason.
The source of life bestowed by Zhuoming gave Chu Yi an unparalleled boost to his recovery ability, reducing the damage that was originally enough to shatter him to less than one-third of its effect.
All injuries were under control, and although it still hurt, it was more convenient for Life Source to provide concentrated treatment.
So although Chu Yi was in pain, at least he could still breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the energy contained in the core of the star is far more than what is visible now. It will take a very long process to completely absorb it, and the pain will continue to intensify during this period.
About five minutes later, Chu Yi was rolling on the ground in pain, and asked the guardian in a groaning tone: "How long will this pain last?"
The guardian said in a serious tone: "Five minutes and twenty-five seconds have passed. If we are lucky, it will be over in twenty-four minutes."
When Chu Yi heard this, he took out the golden cudgel and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it tightly and stopped talking.
The guardian also held his breath, and he began to hope that Chu Yi could really get through this pain.
Five minutes is just the appetizer, those with strong will can get through it.
The last ten minutes of absorbing the star core are the highlight. The holy seal appears at this moment, which will transform the heir like pulling out the tendons and marrow.
Many tough guys failed at this level, fainted, and then a huge amount of energy gushed out, directly destroying the planet they were on.
Although there are people who can survive this test, these strong and unyielding iron men are usually young people or even middle-aged people who have experienced many vicissitudes of life.
A young boy who is not yet an adult...
The Guardian couldn't find any example in his memory of someone surviving the attack, but perhaps there would be one soon?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chu Yi suddenly stood up.
"Damn it, the super race is starting!"
Chu Yi bent his knees slightly, and his body instantly turned into a dragon, and then his body surface was wrapped in a dazzling golden light.
According to Chao Sai, he can evolve into a Super Saiyan state when he is particularly emotional.
I am currently in the first stage of Super Saiyan, which can increase my power by 50 times, and the second stage of Super Saiyan is 100 times.
It hurts so much now, and I don't know how excited I am. I must be able to enter the second stage, right?
Besides, in the super race state, all the body's functions can be improved, so the resistance to pain can be increased to some extent, right?
I don't know about Chu Yi, but he was in so much pain that he could not bear it anymore and had to seek medical help from all over the place.
Unfortunately, the goddess of luck did not favor him this time.
Trying to evolve to the super race state using this cheating method obviously won't work.
However, the super racing state did help him relieve some of the pain, and it did have some effect, although not much.
When the guardian saw Chu Yi transformed into a dragon, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Descendants of the Dragon Emperor Dynasty?"
Such a thought flashed through the guardian's mind, but it was quickly denied.
The Dragon Emperor Dynasty is in the northern star field, and the Earth is in the southern star field, with a difference of more than 180,000 light years.
No matter how far away the descendants of the Dragon Emperor Dynasty go, it is impossible for them to get here.
It was probably another human with dragon blood.
But it seems that this kid has evolved to a very high level. If he grows up, his potential will probably be much greater than it looks.
As he was thinking, the defender suddenly realized that more than ten minutes had passed without him noticing.
Chu Yi has held on until now, and he only groaned twice without even screaming. Isn't his willpower a little too strong?
But soon Chu Yi's screams rang out, and the last power of the star core exploded wantonly in his body. Even though he was driving a super car, he collapsed to the ground due to the pain.
At this moment, he was like a terminally ill patient, having lost all vitality both physically and mentally, and could only wait for death in endless pain.
Especially when the Holy Seal appeared, Chu Yi felt like he was thrown into a frying pan, with countless steel brushes irritating his flesh and bones, trying to completely peel him off from his skeleton and reassemble him.
"Damn, why does it hurt so much?"
Chu Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore and started crying in pain.
He has never cried in his life since he was born.
No matter what kind of injuries he suffered or what kind of setbacks he encountered, he never shed a tear.
But at this moment, it was as if all the bitterness came to his heart at once, and Chu Yi could no longer hold back his sobs.
However, his dignity as a man made him hold back from crying. He just shed a few tears and whimpered for a while, then he bit his arm.
Don’t cry for a minute! Don’t cry!
Chu Yi roared at his cowardly self in his heart.
Now the fate of all mankind is in his own hands. Any mistake will result in the death of hundreds of billions of lives, including his relatives and friends.
He must stay sober and never let softness take even the slightest initiative!
Chu Yi tore at his arm with all his strength until it was bleeding.
Under the double pain, Chu Yi felt that he got some relief, and the sadness in his heart completely disappeared.
Half an hour later, the alarm that Chu Yi set rang.
The pain came like a tide and disappeared like a tide.
Chu Yi collapsed to the ground, breathless, his eyes staring motionlessly upward.
"Congratulations to Suiyu for absorbing the star core and obtaining the holy seal - a miracle!"
"I have become stronger through tempering, right?" Chu Yi grinned, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying.
He held on, neither fainting nor letting any energy leak out.
it is finally over.
