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

Consciousness slowly awakens from endless silence.

Lu Yun "opened" his eyes once again.

It was still that vast and boundless river, and on the opposite bank, there was still that misty fog.

The fog on the opposite bank of the river seemed to have thinned a bit.

Just as he was gazing at it, another white flower detached from a branch above his head and slowly drifted down.

Of the original one hundred flowers, only ninety-eight remain.

[Spend five achievement points to refresh the entry.]

The chosen talents and unused points can be carried over to the next life.

Lu Yun's attention first fell on the term "Fire Element Law".

Fire elemental laws...enhancement a hundredfold.

In his previous life, he had a wide range of interests and had studied various types of cultivation techniques and manuals, including fire-based ones.

It's not surprising that the system was able to refresh this entry.

But precisely because of this, he has an extremely clear understanding of his talent in this area.

That is……

Absolutely no talent.

A hundredfold increase sounds amazing.

But Lu Yun knew very well that talent wasn't something that could be calculated that way.

Just like the owner of the museum, "Hong," who is exceptionally talented and was able to enter the "Domain" level in just a few years.

But if you were to replace an ordinary Earth martial artist with one, even if you were given a hundred years, you would never be able to touch the threshold of that domain.

The difference lies in talent.

If your own fire talent is 0, then multiplying it by 100 will still result in 0.

Even if we barely consider it to be 0.1%, multiplying it a hundredfold would only amount to 10%.

This level of skill is still insignificant compared to true geniuses.

It's not very useful.

Lu Yun's consciousness swept over the [Fire Element Laws] and landed on the [Psychic Amplification] entry.

The amplitude of telekinetic energy is forty times!

Upon seeing this number, Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat.

This talent is extremely precious.

For a psychic, the amplitude of psychic power is the core of combat effectiveness.

In the vast universe, a hundredfold amplitude is already considered the limit that an ordinary cultivator can achieve.

To improve further, every step is incredibly difficult.

That would require an extremely extraordinary stroke of luck, or obtaining a precious legacy or secret technique left behind by some immortal beings, or using some special treasures that are rare even in the universe.

It can be said that having the innate talent of "forty times the amplification of mental power" is equivalent to having a ticket to the ranks of the top powerhouses.

He can easily learn and master the advanced techniques of telekinetic weapons that require extremely high telekinetic amplitude, and use those truly powerful telekinetic weapons.

Once they grow up, their combat power will be incredibly terrifying, far surpassing those of their peers, and even challenging opponents of higher levels will become commonplace.

"This is a must-choose," Lu Yun thought to himself.

His gaze continued downwards and landed on [Spatial Advancement].

"In my previous life, I touched the threshold of artistic conception with the help of 'Illusory Dreams.' If I have this talent to assist me in this life..."

Foundation – Artistic Conception – Domain – World

One step at a time, one ascends to heaven.

The law of space is one of the two superior laws of time and space.

This principle also aligns perfectly with the combat style of a mentalist.

Once you reach the Hengxing level, you will be able to comprehend and master your own spatial domain much faster than ordinary people.

not bad.

It's a pity that you can't master it just by reaching the planetary level.

However, Lu Yun also knew this.

Reaching the planetary level grants mastery of innate talent in a field, which would certainly cost much more than this price.

【Psychic Power Amplification】 and 【Spatial Advancement】 complement each other.

Lu Yun did not hesitate for long.

"I choose [Psychic Amplification] and [Spatial Advancement]."

[Psychic Power Amplification] requires 1500 points, [Spatial Advancement] requires 2000 points, for a total of 3500 achievement points.

Although it was expensive, Lu Yun knew it was absolutely worth it.

There are 1,576 achievement points remaining.

Lu Yun's consciousness swept over the remaining two entries.

[Born Leader]: You possess natural leadership charisma and presence, making it easier for you to gain the trust of others. [Price: 800]

[Praise of Life]: Your cells are extremely active; even severed limbs can regenerate after consuming life energy. [Price: 2000]

The talent 【Praise of Life】 is expensive, but its effects are indeed remarkable.

The ability to regenerate severed limbs is an extremely powerful life-saving ability even in the universe.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough achievement points.

As for "born leader"...

Lu Yun glanced at it and then ignored it.

"Refresh the entry."

[Confirmed consumption of 5 achievement points, refresh shop entries?]

"confirm."

[Psychic Amplification]: Your psychic amplification has increased by forty times. [Price: 1500]

[Spatial Advancement]: Once you reach the Hengxing level, you will comprehend and master your own spatial domain much faster than ordinary people. [Price: 2000]

...

[Soul Resilience]: Your soul will is naturally strong, giving you extremely high resistance to soul attacks. [Price: 2000]

[Eternal Star-Level Beauty Partner]: A powerful eternal star is destined to appear in your life as your partner, and she will be devoted to you. [Price: 3000]

[Photographic Memory]: You possess a memory comparable to that of an intelligent supercomputer. [Price: 300]

If I selected two options, can I only refresh three items?

Lu Yun was speechless.

His consciousness first scanned the phrase "photographic memory".

Memory is not the same as comprehension.

In the future, when we venture into space, a single intelligent optical computer will suffice to solve the problem, making these 300 points a waste.

Then there's... [Eternal Star-Level Beauty Companion], and I couldn't help but smile when I saw the price of 3,000 points.

"We can't afford this bride price."

As for the final [Soul Resilience], it is indeed an excellent talent, but unfortunately, the price of two thousand points also makes him hesitate.

"Refresh the entry," Lu Yun silently thought to himself.

[Confirmed consumption of 50 achievement points. Refresh shop entries?]

The system notification sounded again.

Fifty points!

Lu Yun's consciousness paused slightly.

The first refresh was at 5 points, but the second one increased tenfold to 50 points.

"Really..." Lu Yun couldn't help but complain, "Won't it be 500 points next time?"

With this tenfold increase, the cost of the next refresh will be a painful figure for him.

It seems this should be the last refresh.

There are 1,571 achievement points remaining.

Fifty points isn't a small amount, but it's still acceptable.

Hopefully, something useful will come out.

"Confirm refresh".

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, a flash of light appeared, the original entry disappeared, and three brand new entries emerged in Lu Yun's consciousness.

[Master Refiner]: You possess unparalleled intuition and talent for refining weapons. [Price: 1500]

[Sexual Attraction]: You have a strong attraction to the same sex. [Price: 1000]

[The Gourmet's Curse]: Your sense of taste is amplified a thousandfold, enabling you to detect the most minute flaws in any food. [Price: 1200]

Lu Yun's consciousness became somewhat strange.

If you replace "same sex" with "opposite sex", he might seriously consider the price.

But for now... never mind.

As for the "Gourmet's Curse," Lu Yun simply ignored it.

Ultimately, his attention focused on the term "Master Refiner".

Weapon crafting.

Lu Yun's heart stirred.

In his previous life on Earth, he had also dabbled in this area of ​​knowledge in order to repair some weapons obtained from the ruins of ancient civilizations.

Although Earth's weapon-making capabilities are insignificant in the universe, contact was eventually made.

It's understandable that the system could refresh this entry.

The original novel of Swallowed Star doesn't focus much on the profession of weapon refiner.

But Lu Yun was well aware that in the universe, the status and value of this side job should not be underestimated.

This will have immeasurable benefits for future development.

"There are 1,571 achievement points remaining."

"This entry costs 1,500 points, just right."

Lu Yun no longer hesitated.

He is going to follow the path of a spiritual master.

Mentalists are naturally adept at precise and meticulous manipulation, which aligns perfectly with the art of weapon crafting.

[Psychic Power Amplification], [Spatial Advancement], [Master Refiner].

These three talents combined are simply perfect.

"I choose, [Master of Weapon Refining]."

Lu Yun made his final decision in his heart.

[Confirmed talent selection: Master Refiner. Achievement Points consumed: 1500]

[Talent selection complete]

[Selected Talent 1: Telekinesis Amplification (Your telekinesis amplitude reaches forty times)]

[Selected Talent Two: Spatial Advancement (Once reaching the Hengxing level, one will comprehend and master their own spatial domain faster than ordinary people)]
