Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Yuan immersed himself in the star as he went deeper and deeper.

If the temperature on the surface of the Red Dwarf Star was considered warm, the interior of the star would be a flaming inferno. The terribly high pressure had caused the high-temperature plasma gas to turn into fluid after it was condensed. It was flowing at the speed of thousands of meters per second.

An ordinary material would not be able to survive here. Even the aircraft carrier that they had before the apocalypse would collapse and vaporized in a few seconds if it fell into this place.

Right this moment, Luo Yuan was no longer as calm as he was when he was on the surface of the star. The safety space supported by his Will was suppressed by the complex high-speed plasma. It had been reduced to a diameter of fewer than three meters.

Luo Yuan then dived into a distance of fewer than 1,000 meters.

The reason why one would be afraid of the star was because it was violent. Next, it would be because of its high temperature. Its high pressure and the terrifying flare from within that could generate quadrillions tons of energy had caused its interior to be filled with a destructive power.

After more than 10 hours, Luo Yuan had finally stopped at the outside of the core. His Will that was coming out from his body had disappeared and his naked body was surrounded by the high temperature and radiations. He was not in the state of transcendence. Therefore, there was no substantial increase in his abilities. The absolute power of his Will was not as strong as one expected as it only possessed hundreds of tons of power.

At the outer layer of the Red Dwarf Star, he could still defend against such power with the precise control ability of his brain and his prediction ability. However, as he arrived here, regardless of how strong his control ability was, even with the help of his prediction ability and absolute power, they would be rendered useless.

Thanks to his strong body physique, he managed to endure the extreme conditions of the environment.

A soft yet strong force was exerted on his body. The power was terrifying as it could destroy most of the existing matters. However, it somehow felt like a whole body massage to Luo Yuan. His hair did not even stand on end, encountering the temperature that was more than 100,000 degree Celsius but less than one million degree Celsius.

It was an ocean of energy. Countless particles released dazzling beams of lights, creating a world of photons. There was nothing else he could see aside from light.

It lasted for only a few minutes and soon, Luo Yuan felt bored about it. He was no longer interested and curious about it as he saw those repeating scenes.

Right this moment, the energy held at the core of the star fluctuated and soon, a heated flow gushed towards Luo Yuan.

It was a natural phenomenon that one would usually see over here as it happened frequently. The energy was transferred to the surface of the star from within its core through the heated flow of the high-temperature plasma. The diameter of some of the heated flows could reach up to hundreds of kilometers, achieving a speed of more than 10,000 meters per second.

Luo Yuan did not avoid them and soon, he immersed himself in the heated flow. He then blasted off towards the surface of the star along with the heated flow of the high-speed plasma.

About 10 minutes later, a loud thud was heard. The flame sent him out of the star and right towards space.

He then balanced himself in mid-air and remained still, attempting to identify the direction. The next moment, he returned to the mansion after several teleports.

It was like a shopping mall. When it was first constructed, it was a multi-story building with a variety of luxurious decorations. As it was not practical, Luo Yuan had modified it and now, there was only a spacious living room left with an area of more than 100,000 square meters.

There were no decorations and any extra items. Be it the wall or the floor, it was coated with a layer of advanced material. The whole living room was clean and clear.

Looking at everything there, Luo Yuan now felt that the place he used to be was cold like machines. The living room was empty as if it was isolated from the world. He felt a chill.

As his consciousness was no longer constrained, he instinctively hated what that had happened at that time when he was being a "puppet".

All of a sudden, he did not feel like staying over there at all.

Luo Yuan restrained his power and gradually walked out of the living room. He walked along the path of the mansion to get out of the living room.

As he walked, the body of the security officers that were touring the mansion suddenly turned stiff and remained still as if he was petrified. It seemed like they were deterred by an invisible force. Their mind went blank. They then regained their senses as soon as he left.

Luo Yuan noticed everything that had happened. He frowned. With his current ability, without gazing into his eyes, as long as one approached him at a certain distance, they would be spiritually deterred by him to some extent.

The most troublesome part was his power could not be restrained as it was the glimpse of glory from his Will. If one’s Will was compared to the star, the spiritual deterrence caused would resemble the radiance emanated by the star. Deterrence happened somehow when his Will had already been restrained to its maximum.

Seeing the security officer’s body that had turned stiff, Luo Yuan slowed down and hesitated. As he was about to reach the door, he stopped.

He gazed at the sky, countless flying shuttles streaked across the sky. A large number of people were leaving the Space City.

"Mayor, are you going out?" The leader of the guard regiment lowered his head and asked respectfully. His body was shaking.

He dared not approach Luo Yuan. As a super-evolved man, staying 30 meters away from Luo Yuan was his limit.

Luo Yuan did not answer him, looking at the scenes outside and remained still. After a long while, he sighed and turned his body back, returning to the lonely living room.

He did not want to look back on those days when his life was dull like a machine. Right this moment, he wished that he could feel the aura of an ordinary person. However, the reality had pushed him back to the lonely life.

After Luo Yuan had walked for more than 100 meters, the leader of the guard regiment then stood up. In an instant, he felt that everything in front of him had turned black. His body trembled and he almost fell down to the ground. As he regained he consciousness, he then realized that his body was drenched in sweat.

"Leader, are you okay!?" One of the guards saw that from afar, immediately rushed to him as he wanted to carry him.

"I’m okay, get back to your post." The leader of the guard regiment waved his hand at him and rebuked.

Seeing the figure that had disappeared, he was shocked. Seemingly, the mayor’s power had grown stronger.

However, what surprised him the most was the mayor walked out of the living room today and stood there for a short while. If he was not mistaken, over the past five years ever since he moved in, not even once did he walk around the living room.

...

As the plan to leave had been launched, the Space City was getting more desolate day by day.

A few days ago, the city was still unusually crowded. The city was now empty and had become less crowded. Only a few of the soldiers and government executives stayed there.

On the contrary, the atmosphere was heavy as the war was coming.

Beams of lights streaked across the dark sky occasionally and disappeared far away. They were undergoing the trial of the space defense system for the last time.

At the same time, three warships were moving towards the boundary of the galaxy, getting ready to block the way of the Glassian’s fleet. There were more than 100 of the crews who had written their last will before departure. They were going to fight on the front line and were all ready to defend against the Glassian’s attack.
