Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

2022

The seventh year of the Great Nirvana, in winter.

Three days ago, Zhenjiang base city fell to the beast tide, and the eastern side of the Jiangnan defense line was completely breached.

At this moment, tens of millions of monsters are surging along the highway and fields.

Although reinforcements from across the country are on their way, they are far from enough to quench the immediate thirst.

G312 National Highway, temporary position.

"Run! Don't look back!"

"Mother!"

The heavy machine guns fired wildly, but the dense rain of bullets fell into the massive beast tide like stones sinking into the sea.

"roar--!"

"You beast, get back home!"

"Let the common people go first!"

Lieutenant Lu Yun, who was covering the evacuation of civilians, was seriously injured and his consciousness was gradually fading.

A triangular flying machine in the sky.

A blurry figure leaped down against the light.

Long black hair, a gold mask...

"Um..."

A stream of adrenaline in Lu Yun's carotid artery forcefully pulled him back from the brink of darkness.

He opened his eyes.

The cold, gleaming interior of the triangular aircraft, and an anxious golden mask.

"Hang in there!" Beneath the mask, a seductive voice trembled slightly. "The medical team will be here soon!"

It was just a temporary resurgence.

Lu Yun could clearly feel his life force rapidly draining away from the huge blood hole in his chest.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and weakly tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't...waste your energy." He sighed, his voice weak. "I can't go on."

Lu Yun's thoughts became exceptionally clear at this moment.

He met Yao Rao during the early stages of the Great Nirvana of the Swallowed Star.

I thought we would achieve something.

But he didn't have any cheat codes.

In this world where talent determines everything, he can only rely on sheer grit to catch up.

He burned through his youth and gave it his all, yet he remained just a high-ranking soldier.

Unbeknownst to her, Yao Rao had already become a War God-level martial artist.

Lu Yun could only let out a silent sigh.

Pity.

Ultimately, we will never see it again.

We can no longer see Luo Feng, nor can we see that magnificent era of the universe.

Lu Yun's gaze shifted from the metal inner wall and finally settled on that familiar golden mask.

He opened his mouth and managed to squeeze out a few words.

"I want to ask..."

Before he could finish his question, a seductive voice rang out from beneath the golden mask.

"I loved."

Upon hearing those two words, a relieved smile bloomed on Lu Yun's blood-stained face.

He looked at her and spoke with his last bit of strength.

"I'm sorry... I've already given myself to my country, and I can no longer give myself to you..."

His voice trailed off, and before he could finish speaking, Lu Yun tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes.

...

I don't know how much time passed; perhaps it was a moment, perhaps it was eternity.

Lu Yun's "vision" has been restored.

He found himself floating, in a state of pure ideology.

A vast, boundless river stretched out before them, its opposite bank shrouded in a misty fog, obscuring everything clearly.

He is on this shore.

On the shore, a large tree with a gnarled and vigorous trunk.

One hundred fist-sized white flowers bloomed on the tree crown.

Just as he was gazing at it, a white flower trembled slightly on a branch overhead and detached itself from the branch.

Talents, and unused points, can be carried over to the next life.

Lu Yun's consciousness jolted violently.

Depend on!

Even with his resilient spirit honed through two lifetimes and countless battles, he couldn't help but utter a curse deep within his consciousness at this moment.

So... this is my cheat code!

My cheat code!

Moreover, this hanging... is a whole lifetime late!

If I had this in my previous life, why would I have had to fight so hard and burn out my life only to end up as just a high-level warrior?

If only this had existed earlier, she would have been so alluring...

No.

No if.

After the initial excitement subsided, Lu Yun forced himself to calm down.

The past life is over, and there's no point in dwelling on it. What's important is to seize the present!

Seize the opportunity for your next life!

His "gaze" returned to the options that consisted of information streams and floated in his consciousness.

[Extensive Knowledge and Excellent Memory] requires 2 achievements.

this is not bad.

[Heavenly Voice] requires 3 points.

Lu Yun ignored it; he was going to fight, not become a pop star.

To achieve absolute calm, five points are required.

This is great!

As a soldier, he knew all too well how important it was to remain calm in battle.

In critical moments, a calm mind can even turn the tide of life and death.

Lu Yun's thoughts lingered on the options of "Absolute Calm" and "Weapon Master" for a moment, but ultimately settled on the last one.

[Spiritual Companion: A golden pill of spiritual power sealed within your mind, a natural spiritual master, unlocked upon reaching 10 achievements]

Spiritual Master!

Lu Yun's consciousness fluctuated violently once again.

In the world of Swallowing the Stars, martial artists and mentalists are completely different concepts!

At the same level, the status and strength of a mentalist far surpass that of an ordinary martial artist!

This talent is far more valuable than all the previous options!

The protagonist of the original work, Luo Feng, rose to prominence rapidly by relying on his mental power.

This talent is the foundation and the guarantee for the future.

Choose [Mental Companionship], [Extensive Knowledge and Excellent Memory], and [Absolute Calmness]

In his previous life, outside Zhenjiang City, facing an endless tide of beasts, he had also experienced fear and panic.

He witnessed firsthand how many of his comrades were torn to pieces by the monster because of a moment's lapse in concentration.

In combat, especially in life-or-death battles, a calm mind is more important than a sharp weapon.

The battles of mentalists are an ultimate test of their mind and will; the slightest error in controlling throwing knives and hidden weapons can mean the difference between life and death.

"This talent is a perfect match for a mentalist."

He also has a broad knowledge and a strong memory.

Although it's not very useful in the later stages, it's still quite good in the early stages.

10 + 5 + 2 = 17

……

buzz-

A faint sound reached my ears—the chirping of cicadas in summer.

A gentle, yet slightly monotonous male voice entered my ears intermittently.

"...Therefore, once this auxiliary line is drawn, we can easily prove the area of ​​force application on the monster's scales..."

Consciousness... is returning.

2046

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhong Satellite City, Ninth High School, Senior Three (1) Class...

A black-haired boy who had been sleeping face down on the table opened his eyes.
