534: Extra 1: "Zoo"

Dad, I've had enough of this life.

If I can't escape from here soon, I'll go crazy.

Dad, will you support me?

Inside a simple civilian house, a young man was shouting loudly, his voice full of power, as if he could contend with fate.

Facing his son's request, the father smiled helplessly and said,

Son, what's so bad about staying here?

We don't have to worry about food or clothes, and we don't even need to work.

You have everything you want; this is a paradise of happiness that countless people dream of.

Facing his father's persuasion, Du Yunwei looked up at the sky, trying to see the vast universe outside through the protective shield.

However, his efforts were in vain; this protective shield was indestructible, and his eyesight could not penetrate it.

Sighing, Du Yunwei said, "Everything is good here, except for the lack of freedom."

We are kept here with countless other creatures, seemingly living a life of privilege, but in reality, we are just living in a slightly larger cage.

A 'Zoo'! That's right, a Zoo!

This term, once recorded in Blue Star history, describes our predicament; we are merely pathetic prisoners being observed like monkeys by some powerful beings.

Looking at his son, Du Shaobing shook his head and said, "We are not living in a Zoo; staying here is our own choice."

We bear a mission far beyond your imagination: to preserve Blue Star's most original genes.

Son, don't rush; let me tell you a story, the story of 'Lord Tiger King's' rise.

...

Although the story was long, Du Shaobing had enough time to tell it to his son.

Finally, Du Shaobing concluded, saying, "Do you still think we are living in a 'Zoo' now?"

When everyone else abandoned their own genes and embraced glorious evolution, only we chose to stay.

Not only are we not monkeys confined here to be observed by certain entities, but we are heroes of Blue Star!

The truth of the matter was clearly beyond Du Yunwei's expectation; he never imagined that such a big secret was being guarded beneath the protective shield.

However, his heart had already begun to stir, so how could he be content with an ordinary life?

Hearing this, a trace of unwillingness flashed in Du Yunwei's eyes, and he said, "You are heroes; this is your choice."

But this is not my choice; I just want to go out and see the vaster universe!

Looking at his stubborn son, Du Shaobing sighed again and said,

It's a good thing to have fighting spirit, but you should also accept the facts.

Throughout the countless years of Blue Star's rotation, many exceptionally talented individuals have emerged, but they could at most reach the peak of Star-level strength.

This kind of strength is not even a speck of dust in the universe.

Unless through genetic evolution or self-reorganization, no one can break the shackles placed upon humanity.

The cruel reality did not dampen Du Yunwei's confidence; instead, it made him even more determined, and he said,

Why can't I do what Lord Tiger King could do?

Even death is better than living a mediocre life here.

Preserving Blue Star's original genes is important, but one more or one less of me won't make a difference.

I still want to see the vast universe, to see this world completely conquered by Lord Tiger King.

Seeing the determination in Du Yunwei's eyes, Du Shaobing finally compromised and said,

Even as a father, I don't have the right to crush my child's dreams.

However, I think you might have misunderstood; Blue Star never restricts anyone's freedom.

It's very simple for you to leave; you just need to go to the building in the very center of the city.

If you are sure you are ready, then go.

Du Yunwei hadn't expected the way to leave here to be so simple, and after spending some more time, he finally prepared to leave and entered the mysterious building in the very center of the city.

Boarding a spaceship completely unlike Blue Star's technology, Du Yunwei got closer and closer to the protective shield.

Finally, when the protective shield was within reach, Du Yunwei bravely stretched out his hand towards it.

This protective shield, capable of defending against a God-King's attack, was rendered useless by Du Yunwei's touch; he passed through it effortlessly.

However, the moment Du Yunwei's arm passed through the protective shield, a terrifying energy struck, fiercely corroding his arm.

In just an instant, Du Yunwei's once strong arm was already riddled with holes.

There was indeed great terror outside; merely touching it was enough to be fatal.

Du Yunwei had already prepared for this, activating the energy within his body to quickly heal the injuries on his hand.

This was a threshold, a threshold to deter those whose ambitions were as high as the sky but whose lives were as fragile as paper.

Only by enduring the energy here could Blue Star creatures be qualified to see what was outside.

Ultimately, Du Yunwei endured the rampant energy from the outside world, and his gaze gradually became resolute.

Under Du Shaobing's gaze, he leaped and completely disappeared into the universe!

He was not the first, and certainly not the last; perhaps their continuous efforts will create a second legend belonging to Blue Star in the future. (End of Chapter)
