The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 238 The Past Hongmeng Inherits His Last Wish, the Mechanical Race Blocks His Way

At that very moment, inside a mysterious grand hall...

Once the primordial chaos had solidified, a divine weapon was forged and placed on a shelf to the side.

Then, with a determined look in his eyes, he looked towards the materials area.

"My main body has advanced to the ninth level of the universe level. If it weren't for this inheritance, I could have advanced as well."

For every second that passes in his past life, his magical power increases by one point.

However, an increase in magical power does not necessarily mean an increase in one's spiritual realm.

Even the quality of magical power cannot break through the realm.

However, at this time, although his main body had broken through to the cosmic level, his realm was still suppressed and he had not broken through.

However, the quality of the magic power was able to break through.

"It looks like I'm about to forge my first masterpiece."

This palace treasure, over time, has wandered throughout the universe, traversing the entire cosmos.

We've already visited all six top clans and nine major powers.

The rare and precious materials from all over the world have been collected in a very complete way.

"The forging process, which was originally impossible due to limitations in magical power, should be possible now."

He had some guesses that these geniuses who came to receive the inheritance should have been able to receive a portion of the inheritance, or even some assistance.

After all, a treasure entirely crafted by a genius of stellar caliber sounds highly improbable.

If even a star-level being can successfully forge a powerful treasure using their own strength.

Then the most precious treasures in this universe are worthless.

The test itself is also wrong.

Perhaps, the requirements have been raised.

Therefore, by now, everyone present who received the second stage of the inheritance, except for him, has died.

It is the kind of death that cannot be resurrected, or even if it is resurrected, it will not have any memory of the second stage of inheritance.

Hongmeng looked up and seemed to see a pair of calm, indifferent yet burning eyes.

"Then let's get started."

It seems that the other party can only raise the bar through some arrangements, but cannot completely sever this lineage.

As long as you complete the trial and the treasure refining process.

To a certain extent, the other party also has to fulfill their promise.

This must have been a safeguard measure made by the overlord of that time, just in case.

Just as Hongmeng had imagined, somewhere in this palace, a pair of eyes coldly watched Hongmeng select materials.

He stroked his chin and said, "Interesting, it actually came to this. It's beyond my expectations."

But that's fine too. If you can really take that step, then even if you inherit the legacy, it might not be impossible.

if……"

What followed was almost inaudible.

"But what kind of treasure are you trying to forge? Why is your control over it so strong? Logically speaking, you're only a stellar-level being, and I've already pushed things to this level, yet you're still able to forge it?"

Divine weapons are actually beyond the capabilities of stellar-level crafting.

It's even less likely to be a priceless treasure.

But the divine fire was provided by the palace.

However, to control the divine fire, one still needs his own essence.

This temple was designed specifically for refining magical treasures.

However, none of these geniuses who came to inherit the throne gained control of the palace; otherwise, there would have been a tiny chance of them successfully forging a divine weapon.

But a priceless treasure?
Not too possible.

Unless he can completely gain control of this precious palace, which is extremely difficult.

"With so many star materials, what exactly are you going to refine?"

At this moment, Hongmeng had already begun to manipulate the fire-controlling divine runes inside the main hall.

Hongmeng discovered that with each step he took in refining a treasure, he was creating divine weapons.

He was beginning to have a sense that he could control this precious palace.

"It seems to be a covert arrangement, unknown even to the Venerable One who controls the progress. It appears that the authority still rests with that Venerable One. In reality, that authority has been slowly transferred to me."

Without control of the palace, there is no way to control these divine fires.

It's impossible for him to have created such divine weapons over the years.

Controlling the flames is a very difficult task.

It's like a child trying to use a kitchen knife to carve a radish or a piece of tofu.

He couldn't even lift a kitchen knife, and the ingredients were so delicate that he could easily make a mistake and damage them if he wasn't careful.

It could even cause the tool to backfire and harm oneself.

"I just don't know if that venerable one knows, or is unable to influence me, or perhaps he's simply watching me achieve my goals?"

As he threw the materials in, Hongmeng also tried his best to control the flames.

He simply couldn't have accomplished it alone.

However, he could use the control of his other clones to extract some of their magic power and temporarily allow their souls to descend upon him, thus controlling the flames.

That's right, he had actually been calling for reinforcements the whole time.

Although the helpers you get by calling in are actually all yourself.

And the most important of these is Ao Hong's consciousness.

Ao Hong is already at the fourth realm, equivalent to a realm lord. He controls the divine fire to assist in refining this treasure, which makes the matter feasible.

As a mysterious image slowly took shape, and as runes began to form...

Hongmeng also sensed that the ownership of the palace he was in was slowly being transferred to him.

What was left was merely an empty shell of control, which was given to that venerable one.

The sense of crisis emanating from him was also gradually weakening.

At this moment, a spaceship took off from Earth and quickly entered the dark universe.

Godwin looked at Luo Feng and the others and smiled, "There will definitely be some twists and turns this time, but you have all advanced to the Universe level. After returning to Xuelan Star, you can set off for Chaos City. At that time, you will have immortal guards, and your journey will not be known to others, so the difficulty will increase exponentially. Therefore, this voyage will probably be the most dangerous part for you."

Seeing that Luo Feng and the others were a little nervous, Godwin comforted them, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The Pavilion Master has already arranged for several Immortals to come and protect you secretly. There's a high probability that nothing will happen."

Unless their souls are annihilated, they will all be resurrected by the Lord of the Universe.

Or perhaps they are enslaved by their own souls.

Apart from these two methods, it is highly unlikely that the alien races will succeed.

Luo Feng and the others were taken aback by Godwin's words.

They've only been gone a short time, and the Heavenly Craft Pavilion already has new immortals?
Previously, there were only two Realm Lords among the worshippers. Although they were peak Realm Lords, they were still just Realm Lords.

But now, have the offerings of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion risen to the level of immortality?

Everyone is improving, but the improvement of the Heavenly Craft Pavilion is the most terrifying.

The difference between stellar level and cosmic level is far less than the difference between world lord and immortal.

The difference is immeasurable.

"Uh, yeah. They actually..."

Before Godwin could finish speaking, numerous spaceships appeared around them, somehow managing to pinpoint the spaceships' location in the dark universe.

It's surprising that it appeared here.

"Oh no, exit the dark universe."

Exiting the dark universe is easy.

As long as the speed is reduced, it is possible to leave the dark universe.

As the attack swept past them, they managed to escape the dark universe in time, thus avoiding danger.

Luo Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But the danger is far from over.

This attack wasn't just limited to those spaceships from before.

"The Zerg and the Prisoners have both sent people. The most dangerous are the Machine Race."

The danger of the machine race lies in the fact that if given a sufficiently resilient body, they could instantly become immortal.

The machine race originally had no lifespan constraints. In some ways, the machine race should be considered a superior race to other life forms.

If it weren't for the scarcity of Evolutionary Hearts, and if the Machine Race could expand indefinitely...

This is something even more terrifying than an insect plague.

Several immortals hidden nearby intervened and lured away the immortals sent by other races.

It's highly unlikely that these people have escaped.

The fact that they've all come to light means that their previous methods of concealment, and the people who helped them conceal themselves, are unlikely to continue to hide.

It would be strange if the human race couldn't find this out.

Only one Immortal of the Machine Race remained, with no opponent.

Godwin was somewhat bewildered, yet also determined.

"Looks like it's time to fight to the death. By the way, you guys take the spaceship and escape. Luckily, the opponent is a relatively ordinary Immortal. With my strength, I can hold him off for a short time. But I can't hold him off for too long. After that, you'll have to take care of things yourselves. I hope you're lucky."

He had developed a sense of resignation to his fate, feeling that he probably wouldn't be able to hold them off this time.

Luo Feng was also taken aback, and everyone else was somewhat frightened.

Although they were traveling on an F-class spaceship, theoretically they could withstand this immortal being for a very long time.

But a spaceship is just a spaceship; it doesn't exist in immortal form. How could they possibly fight against immortals?

Even if a realm lord uses the final level of immortality in a divine weapon, he can only contend with it for a short time, not truly fight against it or kill an immortal.

It's just a temporary resistance.

A silent fear flowed through everyone's hearts.

This was even more terrifying for Hong and the Thunder God than the Great Nirvana of yesteryear, because during the Great Nirvana, they still had enough power to lead everyone through it.

But now, he was facing an immortal.

Their group didn't even have the slightest thought of resistance.

Hong never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness again in his life.

After Godwin finished speaking, he had already left the spaceship.

"Oh? Only one Realm Lord left? It seems the intelligence is indeed good. Several Immortals have been lured away, leaving only you. If you have to blame someone, blame your native planet for behaving so surprisingly well. A mere native planet has actually produced several top ten geniuses in the battle."

Both Hong and Lei Shen gave wry smiles.

Performing too well can also be a disaster.

I'm afraid it's not just the alien races; even within the human race, they don't really want them to take the lead.
While they are unlikely to help, it is possible that they will simply stand by and watch things happen.

Moreover, they might also want to know the secret behind this?

Perhaps that's what forced them to come out.

Next, they may face the most terrifying thing.

"If things are hopeless, perhaps we should just destroy ourselves."

Hong said in a low voice, "They actually know a little about the secrets of Earth."

Once the souls of humans are enslaved, the secrets of Earth can no longer be concealed.

Godwin's existence made them realize the terrifying consequences of soul enslavement.

It can be about giving to others without reservation, without secrets, and wholeheartedly.

This is an outcome they can never accept.

The battle did not occur suddenly, and
As they had predicted, Godwin could hold his own against this immortal for a short time, but defeating him was virtually impossible. "Godwin truly lives up to his reputation as someone sent by Venerable Xiao Dong to protect the Pavilion Master; his strength is indeed formidable. He can evenly match the immortal, it's just that we can't understand it. But..."

"Let's go, don't waste the opportunity Godwin has given us."

All they could rely on was the F-class spaceship that still belonged to them for the time being.

Even ordinary immortals probably couldn't afford such an immortal vehicle.

This type of spaceship can withstand immortality for a short period of time.

But there was no way to continue the resistance.

If we don't take advantage of this time and leave as soon as possible...

When Godwin was unable to resist any longer, their fate was grim.

However, just as the spaceship took off, several other spaceships appeared around it, along with some mechanical structures that, judging from their shape, resembled a high-level cannon.

"What? We're surrounded."

"Attempt a breakthrough."

Hong, Lei Shen, and the others understood that since the other party was coming to deal with them, it was impossible that they hadn't considered this point.

The immortals have all been taken away, and Godwin is already fighting that machine immortal.

They're already like meat on a chopping board.

But Hong and Thor and the others will not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Having come from the Great Nirvana, they have gone through countless hardships to reach this point.

They were about to enter the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company and advance step by step.

In the future, becoming a realm master is a possibility, and achieving immortality is not out of the question.

It's not impossible to go even further and become a Venerable One.

Just because of this little setback, are you going to give up?

"Never give up until the very last moment."

But at the last moment, they knew they had to make a decision.

The spaceships' attacks were very sharp; many of the spaceships blocking their way were E-class, and they were all severely damaged by the F-class spaceships' cannons.

But the cannons on those bases were extremely powerful.

Even the defenses of their F-class spaceships were somewhat weakened by the attack.

"The spacecraft hull is 2% damaged, and the propulsion system is 2.7% damaged..."

The reports from the spacecraft's main control system, word by word, made their hearts sink.

"By the way, contact the Pavilion Master on Second Life and ask him to bring down the Star-Attracting Cannon. That one is even more powerful," Luo Feng suddenly said.

However, before they could say anything more or take any action...

Qin Hao's projection had already appeared. He looked around and smiled, "Don't worry. Everything is in the plan. Just wait."

Is it part of the plan?

Question marks appeared above the heads of Luo Feng and the others.

Qin Hao laughed and said, "Of course, these immortals have joined my Heavenly Craft Pavilion, but they have never participated in battle. No one can guarantee their loyalty. Only by truly participating in battle can we see their true intentions."

The most difficult thing to fathom in this world is always the human heart.

Fortunately, so far things are still relatively normal.

Luo Feng asked, "Master, what's going on right now?"

Qin Hao nodded. The Star-Attracting Cannon had already been projected and fired a salvo at the surrounding spaceships, paralyzing them all.

With a wave of his hand, he collected all the spaceships.

"Yes, these spaceships are still worth some money. Next, once the spaceships are repaired, they can still be used."

The vehicle that Hu Yanbo, the master of Meteorite Star, rode was nothing more than an E-class spaceship.

These are all very valuable right now.

The cannons on those bases were also shot down by the Star-Attracting Cannon and collected by Qin Hao.

These are all worth studying, at least they are more advanced than the Terran's mechanical cannons.

As expected of the mechanical race.

"And what about Godwin?"

Zhang Yuanbai asked.

Godwin was clearly losing ground.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be resolved soon."

At that moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the void.

"So this is it."

HarmonyOS breathed a sigh of relief.

He held a scroll of star chart in his hand and laughed, "This scroll of the Zhou Tian Star Chart is finally finished."

Because it was crafted by myself, I poured my own soul into it throughout the crafting process.

Therefore, these newly crafted treasures have already basically all recognized their owners.

This is at the level of a half-step transcendent Dao artifact, but it has not yet reached the grade of a celestial artifact.

It was just refined and is only the lowest grade of precious treasure.

With further refinement and the addition of higher-quality star materials, this treasure can continue to improve in quality.

"The original body really is something else, deliberately sending me here. Was it to test Venerable Anders?"

Hongmeng originally wanted to unfold the Zhou Tian Star Chart and have him assist, so that Ao Hong's seven-colored dragon avatar could come and help.

Perhaps that will allow us to preserve the immortality of that mechanical race member.

Longquan and Tai'a are on standby at all times, so there is absolutely no possibility of any problems.

At worst, we can just leave with everyone.

Although Xiao Dong has left, there is still a Qianwu Venerable in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

Qin Hao was not worried because he had taken these things into consideration.

The plan is proceeding as expected.

"Venerable Anders, please help me capture this immortal of the mechanical race. Remember, I need him alive. Bring him to the brink of death and into a coma."

A cold snort echoed from the void.

HarmonyOS, however, did not feel that anything was wrong.

Previously, he had finally completed the Zhou Tian Star Chart, successfully crafting this precious treasure.

The ownership of all the treasures in a palace belongs to Hongmeng.

Only then did Hongmeng realize that the state of this palace treasure was very strange.

Venerable Anders refined himself into this palace treasure and merged with it.

No wonder the other party changed the difficulty of the inheritance; it turns out they were afraid that if Hongmeng completed the trial and accepted the inheritance, he would become Anders' master.

Anders was initially only immortal, though he was infinitely close to the immortality of a Venerable One.

Following the dying wish of the overlord of Krampus, he manipulated this palace treasure to guide geniuses from all over the universe into it to undergo trials.

In the future, as long as someone can complete the trial and forge a divine weapon at the stellar level, they can gain initial control over this treasure without the help of others and become a disciple of Kampus.

However, after a long period of time, Anders, unable to advance to the Venerable level, began to have other ideas.

He refined this palace treasure into his own body, and with his own understanding of the laws, he successfully advanced to the Venerable level.

However, it is also constrained by this palace treasure, as well as the previous settings of the Krampus Overlord.

He knew that if someone completed the trial and refined the palace...

He was thus partially controlled by the other party.

That was the situation at the moment; Venerable Anders had already acknowledged him as his master.

Although the opponent was very strong, they still held onto their own ideas.

But clearly, he didn't want to go against Hongmeng's wishes.

Because Hongmeng had promised the other party that once he advanced to the Venerable level, he would set Anders free.

In this way, one can be considered to have gained the loyalty of a venerable one.

Although this person might very well stand by and watch Hongmeng die if given the chance.

Once his master is dead, Anders will naturally regain his freedom.

He believed that no one else would be able to complete the trial.

It's so hard.

In fact, even Hongmeng was very lucky in refining this Zhou Tian Star Chart; he almost failed.

After all, it involves multiple selves operating together, and although everyone is of one mind, there is no delay.

However, refining such powerful artifacts was still beyond their capabilities.

However, with this success, the success rate of refining it next time has increased significantly.

A priceless palace treasure suddenly appeared and then crashed down upon the area below.

The immortal of the mechanical race's expression changed drastically: "How...how could this be?"

His Holiness?
What about him?

In an instant, the thought of self-destruction arose.

As long as they are not suppressed, enslaved, or have their souls destroyed.

He will be resurrected by his clan.

However, once suppressed by the other side, one will lose one's freedom in the future.

Once they recognize their master, they will genuinely feel that they were bad in the past and must completely obey the other party's commands.

But he didn't get his chance.

If the Venerable One hadn't been slacking off and deliberately stalling for time, he wouldn't have had a chance at all.

The palace's treasure descended directly, suppressing the mechanical immortals and Godwin together.

Then, Hongmeng stepped forward, reached out, and took the palace treasure back into his hands.

The majority of ownership of this palace treasure is in the hands of Hongmeng; this is a tactic employed by the overlord of Kanpus.

This is why Anders had to obey orders.

If Anders disobeys, Hongmeng will destroy this palace treasure with a single thought.

The other person will also perish.

Moreover, since this palace treasure is essentially the other party's body, the other party can control this treasure to a certain extent.

One should not stray far from this treasure.

To avoid embarrassment, he didn't even want to show up.

Originally, if the Venerable One had made a move, he wouldn't have needed to use the palace's treasures at all; he could have captured that immortal being.

He was unwilling to take action and didn't want to be seen.

"It's that simple?" Luo Feng and the others were all surprised.

They were so desperate before, and this is how it ends?
They all knew the people standing in the void.

The body of Qin Hao, the master of Tiangong Pavilion.

Is he really that good?
Because they didn't know that there was a Venerable One inside the palace, they thought it was Hongmeng who had suppressed the Immortal.

Godwin was released by Hongmeng, and he was shocked when he saw Hongmeng in front of him.

"Pavilion Master?"

"Okay, go to the spaceship and take Luo Feng and the others back to Xue Lan Star. I'll be right back."
