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

The sunlight outside the window was warm and real, shining on Lu Yun's thin face.

On the podium, the math teacher's voice explaining function models sounded somewhat hypnotic on a summer afternoon.

The students around him were either writing furiously or dozing off.

All of this feels so real, so...young.

Lu Yun's eyes had changed from initial confusion to complete calm.

"I see..." he realized.

Memories of her past life flooded back: she died in battle in Zhenjiang in 2022 and was reborn in 2028.

Today, on this afternoon in 2046, at the age of eighteen, he finally unraveled the mystery of his birth.

Goldfinger!

A cheat code that allows one to reincarnate hundreds of times and accumulate talents!

The regrets and resentments of the previous life are washed away by boundless hope at this moment.

"Talent... can be accumulated across generations!"

This is the most overpowered aspect of this cheat system!

The talents you choose in this life will not disappear with death, but will be inherited into the next life!

This means that as long as one continues to reincarnate, the accumulated talent will become more and more powerful!

If one lifetime isn't enough, then two!

If two lifetimes aren't enough, then ten, or even a hundred!

Through countless lifetimes of reincarnation, what great things cannot be accomplished!

However, his joy didn't last long, as he thought of the big tree on the bank of the River of Reincarnation.

There are only one hundred petals on the tree crown.

In my previous life, I died, and one of the flowers fell down.

"At most, can one only be reincarnated a hundred times?"

A hundred opportunities may seem like a lot, but if you don't cherish them and squander them, they will eventually run out.

He cannot waste any lifetime.

"A master of mental cultivation, absolutely calm, with an exceptionally broad and prodigious memory..."

As consciousness sank into his mind, a golden pill with a missing corner floated silently.

This is his talent from his previous life as a [Spiritual Master], the energy of the Golden Core is transforming his body.

Muscles, bones... every second is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

What delighted him even more was the transformation of his mental strength.

The whole world became more vivid in his perception than ever before.

He could "hear" the teacher's heartbeat and "see" the dance of every speck of dust outside the window.

This is the perspective of a spiritualist!

With a slight thought, Lu Yun's mechanical pencil tip on the desk silently floated up by half a millimeter.

The starting point in this life is much higher than in my previous life.

"Ring ring—"

The school bell rang. Lu Yun packed his schoolbag and joined the crowd.

There were no roars of beasts or gunfire, only the joyful laughter of teenagers. This peaceful campus life was so beautiful it seemed unreal.

At the school gate, a sleek black Vulcan 3 Sedan is quite eye-catching.

The car window rolled down, revealing a gentle and beautiful face.

"Xiaoyun, over here!" His older sister, Lu Fang, waved to him.

She was six years older than Lu Yun, with short, neat hair and eyes full of doting affection.

"Get in the car quickly, Mom and Dad are already at your brother-in-law's house, they're just waiting for us." Lu Fang ruffled his hair.

The car drove smoothly toward "Donghu Wuzhe Community", a well-known affluent area in Yangzhong Satellite City.

"Today is your nephew's one-month celebration. There will be more people, mostly relatives from your brother-in-law's family. Don't feel awkward," Lu Fang advised.

Lu Yun nodded in agreement.

My older sister married Meng Wei, a promising martial artist. The Meng family was a well-known martial arts family in the city, far superior to ordinary families like ours.

Although the parents were proud of this, they were also somewhat uncomfortable.

The car stopped in front of a detached villa with a lawn.

The room was bustling with activity.

Lu Yun followed her sister into the room and immediately saw her parents talking with their in-laws in the corner, their smiles tinged with a hint of cautious restraint.

In such a gathering of martial arts masters, they, as ordinary high school teachers, inevitably felt a bit weaker in terms of presence.

"Xiaoyun is here." Brother-in-law Meng Wei walked over with a smile. He was tall and had a steady demeanor. He patted Lu Yun's shoulder affectionately.

"Brother-in-law," Lu Yun nodded in response, his gaze sweeping across the living room.

The room was full of guests, most of whom had a fierce and imposing air about them.

Among the younger generation, a boy wearing designer training clothes stood out.

That was Meng Wei's cousin, Meng Fan, who felt quite superior when he saw Lu Yun.

Meng Fan is already a "senior apprentice", while Lu Yun was only a "medium apprentice" in the school's test.

At the banquet, amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, the conversation naturally turned to the younger generation who were about to take the college entrance examination.

My brother-in-law's father, Meng De, with a ruddy complexion, raised his wine glass and looked approvingly at his nephew, Meng Fan: "In our Meng family's generation, the most promising one is Xiao Fan."

In the preliminary test a few days ago, he was already a "senior apprentice," and his academic performance was also among the best. I think he's a shoo-in for the top military academy this year!

"That's the top military academy! Graduates become officers immediately, with limitless future prospects!"

"Xiao Fan is a steady and hardworking child; he's destined for greatness!"

Amidst the praise, Meng Fan maintained a perfectly measured humility, but couldn't hide the pride in his eyes: "Uncles and elders, you flatter me. I still have a long way to go."

Amidst the lively atmosphere, Meng De's gaze shifted to Lu Yun, who was quietly eating in a corner. He smiled and said to Lu Yun's father, Lu Jianguo, "Father-in-law, isn't Xiao Yun taking the college entrance exam soon? How are your preparations going?"

The dining table fell silent for a moment as all eyes turned to them.

Lu Jianguo's smile faltered slightly, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "This kid's grades are average, and his ability is... just an intermediate student. It would be good if he could get into a regular undergraduate program."

The atmosphere immediately became awkward after those words were spoken.

The gap between the intermediate-level cadets and the "senior cadets" and "first military academy" mentioned earlier is too vast.

"Hey, boys are boys, it's normal for them to mature later." Meng De laughed, as if trying to smooth things over, and then slowly said, "Don't worry too much, in-laws. Our Meng family is planning to open our own martial arts school. Once it's open, if Xiao Yun doesn't do well on his exams, he can come and work as an assistant instructor with his brother-in-law."

With the Meng family's influence, making a living in this city shouldn't be a problem.

His words seemed well-intentioned, but his condescending sense of superiority was undisguised.

The older sister, Lu Fang, quickly came to the rescue: "Dad, Xiaoyun is working very hard."

Brother-in-law Meng Wei patted Lu Yun on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Xiao Yun, don't feel pressured. My dad means that we are family."

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Yun.

The parents couldn't hide their embarrassment, and the older sister's eyes were full of worry, fearing that her younger brother, who was in the throes of adolescence, would have a fit on the spot.

Lu Yun even felt a little amused.

If I were eighteen years old, I would probably feel extremely humiliated.

But having fought countless battles in his past life, witnessing life and death, what is this compared to that?

He put down his chopsticks, a warm smile on his face, and said to Mengde:

"Uncle Meng, that's a good deal. If I really don't do well on the exam, you have to keep this teaching assistant position for me."

A brief silence fell over the dinner table upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, good! You're an interesting kid!" Meng De was the first to react, laughing loudly, his face showing even more satisfaction.

The older sister, Lu Fang, looked at her younger brother with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She felt that her younger brother seemed different today, with an indescribable calmness and composure.

A minor incident thus vanished without a trace.

At the end of the banquet, Meng De patted Lu Yun on the shoulder affectionately, telling him to keep up the good work, showing a kind and caring attitude towards his junior.

It wasn't until they got into the car to go home that the slightly stiff politeness on Lu Jianguo and his wife's faces completely relaxed, turning into a barely perceptible sigh.

"Dad, Mom, Sister, you should go back first." As the car approached a transportation hub, Lu Yun suddenly spoke up, "I want to walk around alone and clear my head."

Lu Fang turned around and looked at him with some concern: "Xiao Yun, is it because...?"

"No," Lu Yun said with a calm smile. "I just ate a bit too much today and want to digest. Don't worry, sis, I'll take the bus home by myself later."

After saying goodbye to his family, Lu Yun arrived at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym.

"2046... More than twenty years have passed since the 'Great Nirvana' period."

"The strongest person on Earth today is 'Hong,' the 'Enchantress' councilor, who has long surpassed the level of the God of War."

And Luo Feng, he's only eight years old now, is he still in elementary school?

"We've arrived at the Ultimate Martial Arts Gym. Have a good time!"

Lu Yun entered the martial arts school.

He wanted to test his current abilities.
