Swallowing the Stars: The Rise of Emperor Wei

That evening, in the cultivation room, Gao Sheng concentrated his consciousness on his inner world.

The land is teeming with energy crystals.

As Gao Sheng's consciousness pressed the charging button, it instantly turned into dense gas.

A moment later, the inner world returned to clarity, with only a small amount of energy crystal remaining.

Evolutionary Energy: (10000/10000)

Full of energy, the word "evolution" begins to flash.

Gao Sheng took a deep breath, clicked, and evolved!

Evolutionary Energy: (0/0)

Boom! Suddenly, countless gray gases were born in the inner world, rushing out of Gao Sheng's Origin Force Planet, and soaking into Gao Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, dantian, and every part and cell of Gao Sheng's body!

"Ouch! That hurts!"

It felt as if my whole body was trapped in volcanic lava or an extremely cold ice cave!

It looks like countless ants are gnawing at my body!

It felt like every single cell in my body was being torn apart!

It's not just a feeling; it's a fact that every single cell in Gaosheng is breaking down and rebuilding!

"That's amazing?" Gao Sheng's body convulsed uncontrollably. "Holy crap, bro, are you kidding me?"

"Hehehe, this is direct evolution, and you can't even handle this little bit of pain? Hang in there, don't die." Old Tie's voice sounded like he was gloating in Gao Sheng's mind.

In the training room, Gao Sheng was sweating profusely, and even blood was flowing out.

Half an hour later, the pain in my whole body finally subsided.

Whew! Gao Sheng collapsed to the ground, letting out a long sigh. It's over? Thank goodness.

Suddenly, without warning, countless unusual sensations and emotions surged forth.

Unbelievable itching! Hunger! Exhaustion!

Endless regret! Anger! Pain, emptiness, desire, sorrow, joy, loss...

"Enjoy it slowly. That was the evolution of the body, now it's the evolution of the soul. Evolving the body is easy, but evolving the soul is difficult, crack crack crack crack." Old Tie's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld.

However, Gao Sheng didn't hear it at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't know what Lao Tie was saying.

In the midst of the chaos, Gao Sheng suddenly falls into a hallucination again!

In this bizarre and fantastical world, countless memories intertwine and tear apart, like a well-ordered thread suddenly being crumpled into a tangled mess and ripped apart.

……

In the living room, Sasha and Ina are whispering.

"Why hasn't the young master come out yet?"

"Are you getting impatient? Hehe."

"It's not me today, you're the one who's getting impatient. Young Master doesn't usually cultivate for this long."

"He said he was going into seclusion today, and nobody is allowed to enter."

……

One day passed.

"Sister Sasha, I'm sleepy."

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep." Sasha yawned.

……

Two days have passed.

In the cultivation room, Gao Sheng suddenly sat up.

"I am Gao Sheng."

"I... finally made it through. I never want to go through that kind of torture again." Gao Sheng said with lingering fear.

"Congratulations, you have successfully evolved," Old Iron suddenly said leisurely in Gao Sheng's consciousness.

"Hey bro, what do you mean by 'hold on and don't die'? Does this mean that you can die during this evolution?" Gao Sheng asked.

"You won't die. During the evolution process, your body and soul will be protected by the system. However, your will will not, so you might go crazy. Don't worry, your willpower is pretty good. You'll never know how far you can go unless you push it a little. Haha."

"Holy crap!"

……

Ina was restless indoors, while Sasha was asleep in bed.

"Young Master!" Ina suddenly jumped up, Gao Sheng appeared at the door, and Sasha also woke up with a start.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to take so long. I shouldn't have kept you waiting. You should all go and rest." Gao Sheng said apologetically, holding one of them in each arm.

Sasha and Ina looked at Gao Sheng and noticed that the young master seemed a little different, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

After luring Sasha and Ina away, Gao Sheng took out a Wood Crystal and began to absorb it.

One after another, the Muya Crystals transformed into streams of pure life energy as soon as they entered the body and were rapidly absorbed.

Because Gao Sheng has become a rare life form with four times the genetic level! The energy deficit is too great; every cell is extremely thirsty!

After swallowing over a thousand Muya crystals, he finally reached saturation.

……

Gao Sheng stared at the panel in deep thought, "It's about improving genes, but there are always trade-offs. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to have offspring now..."

However, from that day on, Gao Sheng resumed his three-person routine, asking Sasha and Ina to accompany him every day.

"Kid, I thought you were focused on your cultivation," Lao Tie mocked, while Xiao Ai laughed along.

"What do you know? It's not easy for my Wei Di family to have offspring. It will only get harder once the genetic level is raised. I still have to work harder. Do you think I want to?"

"Oh, you can definitely try a little harder, hahaha."

Although Gao Sheng was somewhat tempted, he decided to give up the idea after thinking about it. If it wasn't there, it wasn't there. Becoming strong himself was the greatest help he could give to his family.

……

More than two months later, at the slave market in Qiulong City.

In the reception room, a blond man dressed in black armor stood slightly taller than Gao Sheng. He had short, curly blond hair and extremely fair skin. In terms of appearance, he was quite handsome, but the terrifying aura emanating from this cosmic-level powerhouse sent shivers down one's spine.

Wu Ci was directing his men to busily carry out the recognition process.

There was no splitting headache like a star-level slave would experience when changing masters; the man simply stared blankly ahead.

"Mr. Gao Sheng, the recognition of the master is complete." Wu Ci respectfully presented a chip.

"Hmm." Gao Sheng put it away and looked at the man. "Your name is Lan Luo?"

"Yes, Master." Lanluo's gaze also became respectful.

"Okay, follow me."

Walking down the main street of Qiulong City, Gao Sheng asked, "Lan Luo, tell me your virtual universe account number and your bank account number."

"Yes, Master."

Lanluo certainly had a virtual universe account and bank card, and he even had a psychic weapon, a Force suit, and a space ring. These things were nothing compared to the price of a cosmic-level slave. However, his account was empty, and he didn't have a quantum computer, so he couldn't log into the virtual universe.

The origins of cosmic-level slaves are complex. There are no slave traders who specialize in training cosmic-level slaves. Some are captured by enemies during battle, implanted with chips, and sold to slave traders. Others are breakthroughs from star-level slaves.

Gao Sheng had read Lan Luo's information. He was a normal cultivator with considerable talent, who cultivated all the way to the cosmic level. He was captured alive, implanted with a biochip, and sold to slave traders.

As for the reason or who captured him, of course, that won't be mentioned in the information.

Gao Sheng bought Lan Luo an intelligent light brain and replaced it with a better telekinetic weapon, and directly transferred 1 million cosmic coins to him.

Upon receiving the message, Lanluo looked at Gao Sheng and asked, "Master, what is this?"

"From now on, you will be responsible for my safety and also guide the cultivation in the castle. This will mainly be for me, as well as Meng A and Meng B."

"Yes."

"You can cultivate on your own, and you can relax in the virtual universe. This money is for you to spend; you can buy some cultivation resources yourself," Gao Sheng said.

"Yes." Lanluo looked grateful.

One hundred million universe coins is quite a lot for a universe-level being, and Lanluo is only at the third rank, so it's more than enough for him to cultivate quickly for a period of time, which is much better than absorbing universe energy.

"Lanluo, why were you captured and enslaved?"

Lanlu hesitated, then suddenly clutched his head in anguish and said, "Master, can I not tell you?"

Gao Sheng paused for a moment and said, "Alright, you don't need to say anything."

"Yes, thank you, Master." Lanluo regained his composure.

Slaves controlled by biochips are not soul slaves; they still have their own thoughts, but they will be countered if they disobey their master's orders.

"Also, from now on, don't call me master, call me... Elder Gaosheng."

"Yes, Elder Gaosheng."

……

Several days later. In the castle lord's training room.

"Finally, I've finally reached the Eternal Star level. My domain has also reached the second level." Gao Sheng was elated.

The improvement of genetic energy is very slow in the later stages, but the advancement is much faster than before. Obviously, the cultivation speed of rare life forms with 4 times the genes is far superior to that of ordinary life forms.

Moreover, Gao Sheng's physical body didn't reach the 8th level of the Planetary level, which is still a bit short. Rather, his mental power broke through to the Constant level first!

In other words, his psychic power is now three levels higher than his Force.

With Lanluo's guidance, Gao Sheng has made great progress in his cultivation.

Although Patriarch Pero said that Gao Sheng could ask him about any cultivation matters, firstly, Gao Sheng had not yet encountered any bottlenecks, and secondly, verbal guidance in the virtual universe was not very useful, so Gao Sheng did not bother the Patriarch.

After the genetic level was improved, cultivation not only did not slow down, but actually became faster, only the resource consumption increased significantly.

It's normal. The higher the bloodline, the faster humans cultivate, not to mention the improvement of their genetic level. Even the strongest bloodline in the human race is just ordinary genes.

……

"Hey bro? Didn't they say that advancing to a higher level would grant you a chance to participate in a high-level lottery?"

"That refers to your physical level. Mental power is just a temporary ability of your body, so it doesn't count," Old Tie said.
