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

Lu Yun's gaze fell on the fingers of the silver-armored corpse.

His mental power extended outwards, carefully taking the ring into his grasp.

The original owner's spiritual imprint has long since faded away over the years.

"this!"

Even with Lu Yun's current state of mind, he couldn't help but gasp for breath in an instant.

Its length, width, and height all reach one kilometer!

"A spatial ring with a volume of one cubic kilometer..." Lu Yun was shocked.

Lu Yun suppressed his excitement and quickly scanned the vast space with his mental energy.

The space was filled with a large number of items, including weapons, secret manuals, and various strange metal materials, but Lu Yun's attention was immediately drawn to a dark golden crystal floating in the center of the space.

His mental power probed into it.

hum-

A massive flow of information instantly flooded his mind.

This is a...last will and testament, and also a personal document.

"My name is Yan Beichen, and I am from the Nine Star Universe Kingdom."

"After cultivating for over 16,000 years, he has reached the ninth level of the universe level."

"We have already touched the threshold of the fundamental law of 'water,' and are only one step away from reaching the realm of a domain lord..."

"My close friend 'Mo Liufeng' and I explored a secret cosmic realm, surviving countless near-death experiences, and finally obtained a peerless treasure. However, human nature is unpredictable! On the way back, he betrayed me, wanting to keep the treasure for himself, and ambushed me with the vicious 'Origin-Devouring Water'!"

"I fought desperately to severely injure him and suppressed the poison along the way to escape."

I thought that with my strength I could suppress the toxins, find an opportunity to heal my wounds, and then contact my master again.

Who knew that the toxin would suddenly erupt at this crucial moment, far exceeding expectations, leaving me no time even to send a message... How hateful! How pathetic!

Lu Yun's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Betrayed by his best friend, he died of poisoning!

This ninth-tier cosmic-level powerhouse from another cosmic nation actually perished in this way!

Lu Yun continued reading the information.

"That peerless treasure has long been hidden by me inside a hollow meteorite in the distant 'Nine Star Universe Kingdom,' at coordinates (771, 9527, 3301) of the 'Gran Star Belt.'"

"My master was an immortal being, titled 'Zhong Zijun,' a figure of immense prestige. If you, the successor, inform him of my demise, the fact that our enemies are the 'Mo Liufeng Family,' and provide the coordinates of the treasure..."

"My master will surely reward me handsomely! I hereby make this last wish: of the treasures obtained, thirty percent will go to you, and seventy percent to my master, to avenge me!"

"In a fleeting moment, I leave this thought, waiting for the destined one."

The flow of information gradually subsided.

Commander Zhong Zijun?

"Wait... Lord Zhong Zi..." Lu Yun's pupils suddenly contracted. "Later, didn't he become the 'King Zhong Zi'?!"

The Immortal King Zhong Ziwang besieged Luo Feng!

It turned out to be him!

"Yan Beichen called him 'Military Lord,' but in my memory, he was already a king... This means that an incredibly long time has passed since Yan Beichen perished here!"

It was so long that even an immortal military lord cultivated to the level of being crowned a king!

"No wonder... no wonder the formation's energy was exhausted, no wonder the spiritual imprint on the corpse completely dissipated."

Everything makes sense now.

But then, a chill rose from the bottom of Lu Yun's heart.

Inform Zhong Ziwang of the message and the coordinates of the treasure?

In exchange for a generous reward?

"Are you kidding me!"

Lu Yun sneered inwardly.

Others might not know, but how could he not know?

Zhong Ziwang is utterly ruthless and unscrupulous when it comes to profit!

If I, a mere mortal, were to hand over the coordinates of a "peerless treasure" that would cause even a ninth-tier cosmic-level expert to fight to the death and even lead to the betrayal of a close friend, the best outcome would probably be that he would be casually crushed after having his soul searched, thus eliminating any future troubles!

"These kinds of feuds and grudges between big shots are simply beyond my reach right now."

"Let alone the Eternal Star level, even the Universe level, or even the Domain Lord level, are nothing more than ants that can be crushed at will in the eyes of an existence like the 'Immortal King'."

Lu Yun immediately abandoned the idea of ​​contacting Zhong Ziwang.

but……

"Although I can't inform him, the coordinates of this treasure..." Lu Yun's eyes burned with desire, "when I'm strong enough in the future, I can secretly go and retrieve it myself!"

Burying this thought deep in his heart, Lu Yun refocused his attention on the spatial ring itself.

Weapons, secret manuals, and all sorts of rare materials were piled up like mountains, but Lu Yun's attention quickly focused on the hard currency that could be used directly.

With a sweep of his mind, the result came out—23,000 cosmic coins.

According to the official exchange rate of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, one Universe Coin can be exchanged for approximately 3,300 Qianwu Coins.

These 20,000+ Cosmic Coins translate to over 70 million Qianwu Coins, which, when converted to Black Dragon Coins of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, exceed 100 billion!

This sum of money was an astronomical figure for him when he was still on Earth.

But for Lu Yun now, especially for a ninth-tier universe-level powerhouse...

"Too little." Lu Yun shook his head, speechless.

However, compared to the entire fortune of a ninth-tier cosmic-level powerhouse, this amount of money is pitifully small.

True wealth must reside in the universal bank.

The ring probably only contained Yan Beichen's pocket money.

"What a pity."

The accounts of the Cosmic Bank are bound to the soul. Once a person dies, that terrifying wealth that would make even immortals envious becomes a dead account that no one can touch.

Lu Yun's mind drifted away from the pile of cold numbers.

Soon, his mental power locked onto a set of weapons floating in the corner.

It was a telekinetic weapon composed of 360 deep blue, teardrop-shaped objects, each one crystal clear.

"Mysterious Water Needle", a third-tier telekinetic weapon!

He suppressed his excitement and quickly absorbed the information about the methods within.

This set of "Mysterious Water Needle" has five levels.

The first level of [Needle Rain] and the second level of [Spiral Strangulation] require twelve and twenty-four times the amplitude of mental energy, respectively.

With Lu Yun's current amplitude of forty-two times, performing these two moves is a piece of cake and requires no difficulty at all.

But this is just the beginning.

The third level, "dripping water wears away stone," requires an amplitude increase of forty-eight times!

This move combines 360 Xuan Shui needles into one, its power highly concealed, silent and stealthy, yet its penetrating force reaches a terrifying level.

"Forty-eight times..." Lu Yun's gaze sharpened.

He could indeed use the Blood Burning Secret Technique.

Once mastered, his explosive power will reach a whole new level.

The fourth level, [Domain of Mystic Water Cage], requires not only an amplitude of up to ninety-six times, but also the user to comprehend the "Domain of Water"!

By combining weapons with their own domain, they can create a cage to trap and kill their enemies.

As for the final fifth level, [Law of Return to Nothingness]... it requires a preliminary understanding of the "Law of the Origin of Water"!

"My darling!"

Lu Yun's heart was filled with excitement.

"Unfortunately, my domain is space, not water."

However, when he broke through to the planetary level, the special ability he awakened was water.

I may be able to break through the water domain, or even the threshold of the laws, in the future.

After carefully accepting the Xuan Shui Needle as his own, his mind wandered over the mountain of materials piled up inside the ring, and he was soon drawn to a peculiar plant life.

It resembles a giant bluish-gray mushroom.

"Plants aid life, see Boletus luridus!!!"

This thing can emit colorless and odorless neurotoxins, which surprised Lu Yun.

"These materials are just right to cultivate it to the Eternal Star level."

After taking stock of all his gains, he had a rough estimate in his mind.

A third-tier psychic weapon, the "Mysterious Water Needle," a plant with immense potential called "Jianshouqing," a vast amount of rare materials, plus over 20,000 cosmic coins in cash...

The gains this time were enormous!

There's also the peerless treasure this person mentioned.

"The Nine Star Universe Kingdom... is too far away."

With his current strength, it's simply unrealistic for him to travel across universes to search for treasure.

"No rush." ​​Lu Yun buried this secret deep in his heart. "I will take it when I am strong enough in the future."

He stood up and took one last look at the silver-armored corpse.

"Senior, go in peace."

He certainly wouldn't leave such a treasure here.

Then, the small house, worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coins, flew directly into the one-cubic-kilometer space ring on his finger.

Lu Yun looked around.

He knew in his heart that this small house made of lava crystal from the Earth's core was the foundation of this mineral vein.

It is the energy it has continuously released over millions of years that has given birth to this vast deposit of extremely hot fire gold.

Now, he has taken away the source...

In a few years, this rich mineral vein will completely lose its spiritual essence and eventually become just ordinary rock.

Several more months passed.

Chinese New Year is coming soon.

Lu Yun is also preparing to return to Planet Wanhu.

In the past few months, his skills have improved considerably.

He was already proficient in using the first level [Needle Rain] and the second level [Spiral Strangulation] of that third-tier telekinetic weapon, the "Mysterious Water Needle".

As a martial artist, he also began to learn the basics of the "Meteor Light Sword Manual" left behind by Yan Beichen.

This is a set of secret techniques that can only be learned based on the spatial domain. It is divided into two main parts: body techniques and sword techniques, and has a total of seven forms.

Each move simulates the trajectory of a meteorite in space and the instantaneous burst of impact.

Lu Yun has now mastered the first move's movement and swordsmanship.

……

Virtual universe, decisive battle in space.

This is a simulated vast starry sky, with countless meteorites of varying sizes floating silently.

Lu Yun, holding an ordinary alloy battle sword, appeared in the starry sky.

Opposite him, a flash of light appeared, and a burly opponent wielding a giant axe materialized.

System data shows – Hengxing, seventh rank.

This person has no domain, but his strength and speed are both top-notch among those of the same level.

"Battle begins!"

The burly man roared, stomped his foot on the void, and cleaved the sky with his giant axe.

Just as the giant axe was about to strike.

call out!

Lu Yun seemed to transform into an inconspicuous meteorite, easily dodging the powerful axe blow with a mere sideways movement.

The first move of the "Meteorite Sword Manual" - the movement technique "Meteorite Drift".

"What?" The burly man missed his target with his axe, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

The burly man refused to believe it, and his giant axe transformed into countless axe shadows, frantically enveloping Lu Yun.

Lu Yun's figure weaved through the shadows of the axe.

He sometimes moved forward, sometimes backward.

His movements completely defied normal physical inertia.

"It's time to end this."

Just as he was about to pass by the burly man again, his figure appeared behind him.

A swift flash of sword light.

The first move of the "Meteor Strike" sword technique.

The burly man's entire body transformed into countless specks of light and vanished completely.

"This is the power of integrating spatial domains into movement techniques and swordsmanship..." he thought to himself.

If I were to use the Mystic Water Needle technique, my strength should be able to improve even further.

Dealing with a level 8 star is no problem.

The figure in the decisive battle space disappeared, and Lu Yun appeared in the public hall of Black Dragon Mountain Island in the virtual universe.

As soon as he stood firm, a middle-aged man in black robes greeted him with a smile.

"Lu Yun?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

Lu Yun nodded: "Senior."

"Gu Si," the middle-aged man stated his identity directly, "the head of the Black Dragon Mountain branch of the Virtual Universe Company, a domain lord."

"I've been watching you for a long time." Gu Si's gaze was sharp, with a hint of appreciation. "You're at the Hengxing level, with a mental energy amplitude exceeding forty, and you've also comprehended the spatial domain."

Interested in joining our Virtual Universe Company? You can be directly granted the status of 'Level Two Elite'.

Lu Yun smiled.

'Virtual Universe Corporation is certainly a giant,' a thought flashed through his mind, 'but for me, the Ganwu Dojo is the best choice at this stage.'

The thought only lasted a moment.

"Thank you for your high regard, senior," Lu Yun said sincerely, "but I would like to consider it further."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Si's eyes, which quickly turned into appreciation.

"Alright, the heavens always have their own path to follow." He nodded. "The doors of Virtual Universe Company are always open for you."

He withdrew from the virtual universe.

It's time to go back to Wanhuxing.
