Following the instructions in the collected documents, Li Xingkong arrived smoothly at the mining planet that provided energy for the shield.
Long before Li Xingkong began toying with the core star sector of the Snail People, these Snail People from nearby star sectors had already begun their escape. When Li Xingkong arrived, the entire planet appeared deathly silent.
Although many devices in space were still running, no spacecraft were seen coming or going, and there was no one in any of the space facilities.
It was as if this star sector had been abandoned overnight.
When Li Xingkong broke through the atmosphere and arrived on the planet's surface, the entire planet's interior was already in complete chaos.
The Snail People's hasty and disorganized escape left them unable to attend to the numerous enslaved races on the planet. After their departure, the entire planet became a playground for these oppressed races to vent their frustrations.
Looting and vandalism were rampant everywhere.
After being enslaved for so long, they were both bewildered and exhilarated by wanton destruction and mindless venting.
They desperately need a celebration to mark their rebirth.
Of course, for people like them who were enslaved from childhood and had no chance to receive a normal education, the so-called celebration was nothing more than letting loose and causing destruction.
If no one guides them afterward, the ultimate development of these civilizations will simply be a matter of one becoming dominant and then continuing to enslave other species.
Their values had been solidified under the long-term enslavement of the Snail People; even if the slave master over their heads were gone, they would only choose to become that slave master themselves.
A person's values and worldview are often shaped by their living environment; no one is an exception.
In capitalist societies, those who overthrow capitalists are not necessarily seeking revolution, but rather a share of the spoils. Similarly, uprisings in feudal societies could very well be driven by the desire to become powerful and wealthy.
Only in a peaceful and stable society, where everyone has ample time to understand and learn, and after in-depth study, organization, and digestion, will all actions not be merely for personal advancement.
Li Xingkong was not the one who would guide them; to these civilizations, he was merely a passerby.
He hasn't even finished resolving his own problems, so he doesn't have time to meddle in other people's affairs.
If you can't even sweep your own room, how can you sweep the world?
Throughout the universe, countless civilizations suffer. In the blink of an eye, many civilizations are born and destroyed. Li Xingkong's abilities are limited, and he cannot manage so many.
Li Xingkong has already done so much to liberate them from the enslavement of the Snail People.
Upon landing on the planet, Li Xingkong deployed his Divine Sense and quickly located the energy interface.
However, after discovering this, a subtle expression appeared on Li Xingkong's face.
Although the location of this energy interface is not a particularly important site, it is one of the core hubs of this mining planet. At present, this place has been occupied by a large number of newly freed aliens.
The entire interior of the hub had been smashed beyond recognition, while the aliens were currently fighting over a freezer full of meat inside.
Judging from the chaotic marks and severed finger remains on the icehouse floor, a rather fierce battle had broken out between these guys.
The more Li Xingkong witnessed these unbridled scenes of freedom, the more he felt the hard-won progress of Divine Land Civilization.
It was the inheritance of civilization and the resonance of spirit from generation to generation that enabled Divine Land to achieve true liberation in that era of war and chaos.
It's not just about physical freedom, but also about spiritual liberation.
These people have only temporarily gained their freedom, but deep down they still only identify with the Snail People's system of enslavement. It's just that now everyone wants to be a slave owner.
Using invisibility, Li Xingkong flew over the heads of the chaotic crowd, ignoring the commotion along the way, and went straight to the energy interface that had been abandoned to the side.
This thing, being a creation of the Iron Law Country, though merely an excuse, is not something these "primitive people" who know how to use mining tools can destroy. At most, they can just push it over and smash it for fun.
Li Xingkong and cast a Cleaning Spell on it, sweeping away the filth left behind by those people.
These people may not be able to cause destruction, but they are certainly good at being disgusting.
After the Cleaning Spell was completed, Li Xingkong was surprised to find several children huddled inside the energy interface, which was more than two people high up.
The moment Li Xingkong finished cleaning the energy interface, the leader of the group of children stood up. Although he couldn't see Li Xingkong due to his invisibility, this miraculous event was certainly not an accident.
To be honest, Li Xingkong was quite surprised. These guys were called children, but their composition was extremely special. You could tell from their appearance that they did not belong to the same race.
Everyone else is scrambling for property, but these kids have found a place to hide—that's rather unusual.
Li Xingkong withdrew his magic, revealing his true form.
"Don't come any closer, or we'll have to use force!"
The child held a molecular knife for cutting ore in his hand, which looked like a miniature lightsaber, except that the handle was trembling in his hand.
"They all went to grab food, why didn't you go?"
The child spoke the language of the Snail People, which Li Xingkong naturally understood.
"You'll die."
The child bit his lip, seemingly not understanding why Li Xingkong asked that question.
However, seeing that Li Xingkong did not make a move, he answered Li Xingkong's question.
"Then why are you hiding here? It's not necessarily safe here."
"They've already wrecked this place and left so much filth; no one should come here anymore. Besides, it's close to the icehouse; once they leave, we can still go get some soup."
"Uncle, there's nothing good here. Why don't you go look somewhere else?"
Seeing that Li Xingkong had no intention of making a move, the child thought of collecting the filth that Li Xingkong had cleaned up so that he could continue to disguise himself.
Li Xingkong smiled and pointed to the energy interface on the ground.
"That's exactly why I came here, but since you took it first, I'll trade you something for it."
Li Xingkong stretched out his hand, and a character formed from his Magic Power appeared in his palm.
This text contains a great deal of knowledge; Li Xingkong has compressed the essence of Divine Land culture into it.
He also casually incorporated a few protective spells into it.
The spell characters flew out of Li Xingkong's hand and slowly flew to the child.
"I have enough text for each of you to make one copy. However, you can also choose to have one person make multiple copies. How you distribute it is up to you."
After saying that, Li Xingkong picked up the huge energy interface lying on the ground and put it into his bracelet.
After receiving the energy interface, Li Xingkong turned around and activated his invisibility again, while the children stared at the words hanging in the air, remaining motionless for a long time.
"We don't know if this thing is good or bad, so let's not touch it."
A cat-headed child behind the lead child tugged at his clothes, clearly showing some resistance to this unknown thing.
"But that person seemed like a good person."
"A good person? Where in this world are there good people, except for my brother?"
The child in the lead pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"You all step back first, I'll give it a try. If it's okay, we'll each take a turn. If there are any problems... then you'll be in charge of them from now on."
He pointed to the cat's head, having made up his mind.
Before the other children could say anything, he grabbed the text.
The moment they made contact, a flood of knowledge entered his mind, and the overwhelming amount of information caused him to briefly lose consciousness.
After becoming invisible, Li Xingkong did not leave. Instead, he stood aside and observed the children's reactions.
Seeing that the young man had finally chosen to take this step, Li Xingkong was somewhat gratified.
He began to understand those immortals who lived a carefree life, like Huang Shigong and Chen Chuan. Perhaps they had the same mindset when passing down their teachings.
