Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 409

"The bet was right!"

The Zerg Queen looked at the Ultraman Lord sitting in the main seat, a hint of smugness flashing through her mind.

"However, before venturing into the cycle of reincarnation, there are two things that need to be resolved."

Ultraman's clone turned his gaze to the mountain dweller who was still maintaining his composure.

……

After these true gods learned of this, they spread the news to their communities and cities, and it eventually spread throughout the entire universe. The first and second reincarnation eras, and even the two holy lands, all learned of this information.

"Success!"

The True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan and the Rampaging Demon God were somewhat bewildered upon hearing this news, feeling as if they had no sense of involvement, and that victory or defeat seemed to have nothing to do with them.

No, if it's a failure, it does have some connection. So, it's definitely worth celebrating.

"Now that the cataclysm of the World Beasts has been overcome, we should now focus wholeheartedly on obtaining a way to break through the cycle of reincarnation from within the Liuzhong Sect," many True Gods thought to themselves.

……

In the universe of the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land.

"Did you get through it?"

The Eastern Emperor, the progenitor, was walking on the vast land, observing the lives of his people.

Some of his people were so weak that their lifespan was no more than a hundred years.

Having walked the earth and witnessed the cycle of life and death, the Eastern Emperor Ancestor was already prepared, but the news that arrived at this moment filled him with joy.

The people in the Cosmic Sea were unaware of the terror of the Beast of Realm, but the Eastern Emperor, who was in the Origin Continent, understood it to some extent and was naturally delighted to have survived this ordeal.

"Hahaha..." The Eastern Emperor Ancestor laughed loudly: "I am fortunate to be in the same cosmic sea as the Eternal Lord. This time, I have dealt with the World Beast. Perhaps it will not be long before he goes to explore the cycle of reincarnation. I can contact him in advance."

There is no order of cultivation; the strong are respected. As someone who will surpass you sooner or later, it is natural to make some investments in advance.

……

The Purple Moon Holy Land universe was also filled with jubilation. Not only were the universe lords and true gods excited, but even the Purple Moon Ancestor was overjoyed.

"My destiny is extraordinary, and I am destined for great achievements. How could I possibly fall before the calamity of the World Beasts?" Ancestor Purple Moon said with ease and joy, then a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. "That Lord of Eternity was able to successfully suppress the calamity of the World Beasts. His potential is indeed terrifying. Why didn't he perish together with the World Beasts?"

"Moreover, besides the Eternal Lord, there is also the mysterious Ultra Lord, who seems to have unleashed astonishing power and is closely related to the Origin Universe, making him a being worth being wary of."

"Unfortunately, I cannot make a move in the cosmic sea; I can only leave my fate to time."

The Purple Moon Ancestor also wanted to celebrate surviving the World Beast Catastrophe, but after seeing the few cats and dogs in the Holy Land, he gave up.

The two remaining True Gods and hundreds of Universe Lords in the Holy Land have been imprisoned by the human race. It seems there is no hope of saving them now.

What's even more awkward is that because the cosmic lords of those holy lands didn't die, they occupied a share of the holy land's origin, making it impossible for him to even replenish the number of new cosmic lords.

While the outside world was filled with laughter and joy, the interior of the Purple Moon Holy Land remained deathly silent.

……

Primal Universe — Virtual Universe!

Ultraman's clone and the Mountain Man sat on a planet, their eyes scanning each other.

"Lord of Ultra, or rather, Lord of Eternity, have you successfully enslaved the Beast of the Realm?"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest asked very bluntly, "It was for the sake of the World Beast that I reincarnated into this Cosmic Sea."

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, the good thing was that a Realm Beast actually appeared, but the bad thing was that the Primal Universe Will kept a close eye on him, directly causing him to be able to break through to True God using only the weakest Law.

"I don't know how the Purple Wood God King persuaded the original universe's will, allowing him to act at will." The Mountain Guest thought with some frustration. He had spent a lot of time researching, but apart from a complete reincarnation, discarding everything from his previous life, he hadn't found any other way.

"It's a success!"

Ultraman's clone nodded, instantly becoming the King of the Beasts, a level even higher than enslavement.

Upon hearing this, although he had expected it, the Mountain Guest still felt somewhat complicated. The best solution was naturally for him to enslave the Beast of the Realm, while the second best solution was for his personal disciple to enslave it.

As for being enslaved by the Eternal Lord, that's not the worst-case scenario. The enslavement failed, and the World Beast destroyed the entire universe.

"Lord of Ultra, you probably already have some guesses about my origins from my primordial will, don't you?" the Mountain-Sitting Guest said leisurely.

"Hmm, senior must be from an 'ancient civilization'." Ultraman's clone also felt a little regretful, because even he could not go against the will of the primordial universe and reveal information about the Origin Continent.

“That’s right. I offended my enemies back then, and they destroyed my kingdom. I was reincarnated into the Cosmic Sea for revenge.” A look of hatred flashed in the eyes of the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

“You enslaved the Beast of the Realm, which grew to its peak and became one of the most powerful beings in the ancient civilization. So I hope that when the time comes, you and the Beast of the Realm will join forces to help me take revenge.”

After the Eternal Lord enslaved the Beasts of the Realm, the Mountain Dweller also made them his equals.

"Of course, I won't let you do this for free. I can pass on my legacy to you. I am skilled in treasure refining, and my treasure refining legacy is top-notch even in ancient civilizations. Moreover, I can refine treasures for you for free, as long as you and the World Beast make a move once."

The man sitting on the mountain felt inexplicably nervous, because he really didn't have many bargaining chips to offer at this moment.

Aside from inheritance, there's only the Jinwang Palace as a guarantee, his last resort, which he can't give to anyone else; the rest are hard to monetize.

It's absurd that a former god-king couldn't offer any useful bargaining chips in front of a true god.

"If the Eternal Lord agrees, the World Beasts are terrifyingly powerful, at least equivalent to several God-Kings. With the Eternal Lord's aptitude, whether he can become a God-King may still require a stroke of luck, but he should be able to possess God-King level combat power."

"With my own efforts and the help of my other god-king friends, as long as we return to the Origin Continent, revenge is within reach."

After plotting for so long and paying such a high price, the Mountain Man finally saw hope for revenge.

Back then, Zuo Shan Ke rose from an ordinary tribe on the Origin Continent, then joined a treasure-refining sect, and through hard work became a God King, established the Jin Kingdom, and stood at the pinnacle of the Origin Continent.

Unfortunately, the neighboring Kingdom of Food launched a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Jin, and with the help of three god-kings, destroyed the kingdom.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest, relying on his strength, eventually escaped. After hearing the story of the Purple Wood God King enslaving the Beasts of the Realm and rising again to take revenge, he made up his mind to go to the Cosmic Sea as well.

However, the supreme rules do not allow people from the Origin Continent to return to the Three Thousand Dimensions; if they want to come back, they can only reincarnate.

There are two types of reincarnation. One is like the hermit who sits on the mountain, where he gains a new identity but retains his previous realm of understanding.

Another type of reincarnation involves abandoning everything from the past and starting a new cycle of reincarnation with a fresh start, cultivating oneself anew.

The Mountain-Sitting Guest also speculated that it might be because he still retained the memories of his previous life, which caused the primordial will to keep an eye on him and restrict him.

The Purple Wood God King of yesteryear may have been a complete reincarnation, starting his cultivation journey anew.

Therefore, the Mountain Dweller thought of using the God King's methods to create an excellent race and cultivate suitable disciples, namely the Yan God Clan and the Earth Clan.

Because the origin of the Origin Continent is also in the three thousand dimensions, life in the primordial universe has infinite possibilities.

Finally, I won the grand prize, Luo Feng.

"Deal with the other three top-tier powerhouses." Ultraman's clone pondered for a moment, not caring much. When the time came, the clones would gang up on the three God Kings, so dealing with them wouldn't be difficult.

The benefit is gaining the friendship of a god-king who is proficient in crafting treasures, who may then be able to equip his various avatars with god-king level treasures.

"Okay, but I have one more condition."

These conditions weren't very meaningful to him, since having a World Beast King directly provided him with a powerful guarantee of strength.

It's even possible that no one else will need to intervene; the World Beast Zetton could take care of the three God Kings on its own.

"What conditions!"

The mountain dweller said solemnly that if these benefits were not enough to sway the other party, he would find it difficult to offer any other benefits for the time being.

"I am about to embark on a journey through reincarnation, and I would like to ask Senior Mountain Guest to accompany me."

Ultraman's clone laughed, already regarding this universe dimension as his own backyard, so naturally he wouldn't allow a god-king to remain here.

Now, the only one in the entire universe that he can be wary of is the Mountain-Sitting Guest, so naturally he has to find a way to make him obediently go through the cycle of reincarnation.

Since the Mountain Guest took the initiative to make the offer, Ultraman's clone naturally didn't hold back.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain. After the mountain dweller leaves, he will be able to thoroughly explore the secrets of this cosmic dimension.

"That's it!"

The man sitting on the mountain was slightly taken aback. He had thought it would be some outrageous request, but it turned out to be just like this.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had a disciple worth nurturing, the Mountain Hermit would have left long ago.

"It seems that the Eternal Lord has other plans in the cosmic sea."

The mountain dweller pondered briefly, wondering if it was possession or something else.

"If that's all you ask, I can go with you to explore the cycle of reincarnation and leave this cosmic sea."

The mountain dweller nodded, then hesitated for a moment: "However, I have another disciple."

He looked down on his eldest and second disciples; only Luo Feng was worth cultivating by the Mountain Hermit.

"Luo Feng is also my disciple."

Ultraman's clone said calmly, "It understands Luo Feng's potential even better than the Mountain Guest, so it will naturally not give up on nurturing him."

"it is good!"

The mountain dweller happily agreed: "Let me know before you go to try your way through reincarnation."

After finalizing the arrangements, Zuo Shan Ke left the new virtual universe and went directly to find Luo Feng's clone left in the original universe.

"Luo Feng, come for a walk with me!"

The Mountain Hermit has always taken a laissez-faire approach to training disciples. However, his training of Luo Feng has indeed been somewhat short, so he plans to take Luo Feng on a journey through the primordial universe and provide him with close instruction for a period of time.

"Teacher Zuoshanke..."

Luo Feng was also slightly taken aback. Because his strength was too weak, he was completely useless against the World Beast Catastrophe. Therefore, he had been staying in the Liuzhong Sect to hone himself, and then he received a notification from Zuoshanke.

Luo Feng was very grateful to the Mountain Guest. There was no other reason than that the Mountain Guest had spent a lot of money on him when he was weak, and after realizing the value of these treasures, he was naturally grateful.

Afterwards, the guest took Luo Feng on a tour, guiding him as they traveled and deepening the relationship between master and disciple.

A personal mentor to a god-king, a privilege not even enjoyed by the ruler of chaos.

"What level of cultivation does Master Zuoshanke possess?" Luo Feng, who received guidance from Zuoshanke, deeply felt the unfathomable depth of the former, who was not at all like a true god.

During his travels, the Mountain Hermit also crafted another palace-like supreme treasure for Luo Feng, placing his own inheritance, secret techniques, and origins within it, waiting for Luo Feng to explore them one by one.

"Let's call it Wuqilou!" The Mountain Guest gave this treasure a name that was once familiar.

……

The primordial origin of the universe!

After resolving the issue with the Mountain Man, Ultraman's clone returned to the origin of the universe.
