Hearing Li Yingning's words, everyone was stunned, a little confused.

"Whether a rule can be easily broken depends on the person who made it and the attitude of the person who wants to break it!"

Li Yingning explained:

"For example, in this base you built, is there a rule against killing?"

"Yes!"

Duan Lei nodded.

"Now, has anyone violated this rule?"

Li Yingning asked again.

"No!"

Duan Lei shook his head.

Currently, not to mention killing, no one dares to touch any of the rules they have set, because they know that once they do, they will be kicked out lightly, or directly killed.

This small world in the fortress is such a good place, no one wants to be kicked out, let alone be killed.

"Why doesn't anyone violate these rules?"

Li Yingning said:

"Because these rules were made by you, and you are the controllers here. No one can fight against you, so no one dares to touch this rule!

But if you didn't make this rule, but instead a very ordinary survivor inside said to everyone: 'Don't kill people,' do you think anyone would care about what this guy said?

This is what I mean when I say, the stronger the maker, the less dare anyone to break the rules they set!

And if, in your base, there is someone, like me, if I enter your small world and see someone I don't like, I will kill them, even if I know that I can't kill people in the small world, I won't have any hesitation!

Why? Because all of you combined are not enough for me to smash with a single blow, so your rules have no binding force on me at all, and you have no ability to sanction me."

Hearing this, the corners of Li Chenzhou's mouth twitched a little, while Duan Lei was thoughtful. He continued to ask:

"Then... if the people in the small world don't have your strength, but still want to break the rules?"

"Then it depends on whether they are willing to bear the consequences of breaking the rules."

Li Yingning said:

"For example, if someone in your base encounters their enemy, the person who caused their family to be destroyed, leaving only themselves.

So, after seeing this person, they only want revenge, even if they know that if they kill this guy, they will be killed by you, but they still do it!

They are not as strong as you, but they are willing to use their lives to avenge their family, so they can also break your rules!"

Saying that, Li Yingning suddenly smiled:

"So, don't trust the rules too much, because they are not always effective. Many people can break them, just like the laws before the apocalypse. The vast majority of people will abide by the law, but every day, there are countless people who violate the law because of hatred, greed, or various other reasons.

Some of them have the ability to escape the sanctions of the law, while others use their freedom or life as the price of breaking the rules, but no matter the result, at the moment they break the rules, the rules... are completely ineffective!"

Li Yingning then pointed to Fatty and Li Chenzhou:

"In some cases, the rules themselves are conflicting. For example, this kid's talent, Immovable as a Mountain, means that he can ignore any attack, which is the so-called absolute defense.

And what about your skill? After activation, it can ignore any defense. One ignores any attack, and the other ignores any defense. This is inherently contradictory!

So, I said before that rules are made, so they must have some loopholes. Then, you have a third choice—find the loopholes in the rules and exploit them!"

"..."

Li Chenzhou looked at Li Yingning, feeling a little confused.

In his opinion, the instructor should be the kind of pure warrior who, no matter what is in front of them, as long as it dares to block them, they will just smash it with a stick.

But now, the instructor is actually telling them to look for loopholes in the rules? This is a bit... not in line with the instructor's persona, is it?

"What's wrong?"

Seemingly noticing the strange expression on Li Chenzhou's face, the instructor looked at him and asked.

"I... I thought you would let us solve it with force, like... find a way to become stronger, to surpass the rule-makers, and then break it with our own strength!"

Li Chenzhou answered hesitantly:

"But you're telling us to look for loopholes, I... I feel a little surprised!"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Yingning laughed loudly:

"I come from a military background. In the army, we do worship the strong, and strength is king. But in battle, you don't just rely on your own strength and charge blindly without thinking.

An excellent soldier must be able to use everything around them that can be used to help them achieve final victory.

Besides... wanting to surpass the rule-makers is indeed a method, but how long will it take you to do that? Will these guys give you that time?"

Li Yingning pointed to the Devourer base:

"In this universe, whoever is the strongest is the rule-maker. The Devourers and the Controllers have already started, but you humans are still struggling to survive. Do you think it's possible to surpass them?"

"Instructor, is it possible that... even you can't destroy the Devourers?"

Fatty asked in a low voice from the side.

"Me?"

Li Yingning looked at Fatty and shook his head gently:

"This is not my world, so I can only be a guide at most. Everything still depends on you guys!!!"

"Then... how should we find loopholes in the rules?"

Tian Ya asked from the side.

"Remember, they are currently absorbing the origin of the universe. Once they get enough of the origin of the universe, then you will no longer have any chance to defeat them. This universe is destined to become the Devourer's universe, and all other life, including humans, will become livestock they raise!"

Li Yingning did not answer directly, but pointed to the Devourer base outside and said:

"Moreover, they are extracting the origin of the universe very quickly. However, the good news is that the origin of the universe they extract cannot be transported back to their lair through the spatial channel.

After all, that is the origin of the universe, and the spatial channel cannot withstand it. Therefore, after they have finished extracting, they have to send the origin of the universe back! So, from now until the time they send the origin of the universe back, is your last chance.

Whether you can find a way to defeat them during this time depends on yourselves!"

Saying that, Li Yingning smiled at everyone, and his body gradually became illusory. At the same time, he left a final word:

"Oh, yes, there is another very big problem for you. You must think carefully. If you can't think of it, in the future... you can only be pigs for the Devourers!"
