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

The lively atmosphere of the banquet continued, but the heart of the main seating area gradually quieted down.

Lina sat next to Lu Yun, her hand gripping the wine glass tightly, her pretty face full of struggle.

She finally mustered up her courage and quietly transmitted her voice to Lu Yun beside her.

"Lu Yun... what do we do now?"

Lu Yun responded with his mental powers, "We're friends."

"We can always be friends."

Lina was stunned.

Yes, my friend.

This answer suddenly put her mind at ease.

But before she could fully relax, Lu Yun's next words came through, tinged with a teasing smile.

"Do you mean to...?"

Lu Yun didn't say anything more.

But Lina understood instantly.

A rush of heat shot straight to her head, and her cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

"Friends, friends!" she quickly transmitted telepathically, her voice trembling slightly, "Friends for life!"

After saying that, Lina picked up her glass and took a big gulp, as if trying to use the cold wine to quell the burning sensation on her face.

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

Great, Lu Yun didn't misunderstand, things are finally back on track.

But for some reason, while she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a void in her heart.

It's as if... I missed something very important.

...

Just then, the banquet gradually came to an end.

Lord Monte and Lord Gu Si stood up.

Monte looked at Lu Yun with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Lu Yun, it's getting late," he said. "Come with us to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's branch dojo."

"it is good."

Lu Yun stood up decisively.

He nodded slightly to Cang Yuntian, Tarlan Augustus, and the others as a farewell.

Three figures walked further and further away under the gaze of countless people filled with awe, envy, and complex emotions.

Cang Yuntian, Tarlan Augustus, and the others escorted them all the way to the door, watching the three board a uniquely designed spaceship and disappear into the night sky before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Inside the spaceship.

This is a D9-class spaceship, its entire body displaying a deep dark silver hull, and its streamlined design exudes a sense of power.

The interior space is extremely spacious, with simple yet luxurious decorations, reflecting the pinnacle of human technology.

"Sit down." Lord Monte gestured to the sofa beside him, his face still bearing an undisguised smile.

Lu Yun and Gu Siyu took their seats.

There was no turbulence when the spaceship started, but the view outside the window became blurry for a moment.

The next moment, the spaceship shuddered slightly, and the endless starry sky around it vanished instantly, replaced by a strange space that was colorful, bizarre, and surreal.

The spaceship has already entered the dark universe.

"We're traveling at three times the speed of light in the dark universe," Monte explained to Lu Yun, looking at the colorful streaks of light flashing past the window. "The distance we travel in the dark universe is 1008.1 million times that of the original universe. So, although the Black Dragon Mountain star field is incredibly vast, we'll reach the branch of the dojo very soon."

Lu Yun nodded, quietly savoring this wondrous journey.

As Monte said, the journey was incredibly fast.

It seemed like only a moment had passed when the spaceship shuddered slightly again and then exited the dark universe, returning to the original cosmic space.

Through the porthole, an enormous complex of buildings came into view.

It was a continent suspended in the starry sky, upon which stood countless magnificent buildings that soared into the clouds, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

This is the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The spacecraft landed smoothly on a landing pad in the center of the continent.

"Come on, I'll take you to complete the formalities first." Lord Monte was in a very good mood. He stepped off the spaceship and personally led the way for Lu Yun.

Lord Gu Siyu smiled and said, "I'll take my leave now. Lu Yun, we'll meet again someday."

"Thank you, Lord Gu Siyu." Lu Yun nodded in thanks.

Gu Si's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Monte led Lu Yun across the wide square and into a magnificent service hall.

The process here is very fast. With the Lord of Monte personally in charge, all the formalities were completed almost instantly.

"Alright." Monte handed Lu Yun a badge representing his status as a core member of the Qianwu Dojo, and then said with a smile, "I happen to have one 'core seed' spot left, which is specially reserved for those geniuses who have the best chance of breaking into the 'Qianwu Secret Realm'."

"This spot will grant you access to resources and privileges far exceeding those of ordinary core members. I'll apply for it for you in a bit."

"Thank you, Lord Monte." Lu Yun accepted the kindness without any pretense.

"Haha, it's no big deal." Monte waved his hand. "Come on, I'll take you to see your place."

Led by Monte, Lu Yun arrived at his accommodation in a hovercar.

Even Lu Yun was slightly taken aback when he saw what was in front of him.

This is not a villa or apartment at all, but an independent estate covering more than ten square kilometers.

The manor boasts mountains and water, pavilions and towers, and beautiful scenery.

The vast lawn, the clear lake, and even the gravity chamber and simulation room specifically for cultivation are all available. Its level of luxury far surpasses that of the Cang family's banquet manor.

An elderly man dressed in a black tailcoat, with his hair neatly combed, was already waiting at the entrance of the manor.

Upon seeing Monte and Lu Yun arrive, he immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Lord of the Domain, Mr. Lu Yun."

Monte introduced Lu Yun to Lu Yun, saying, "This is the steward the dojo has arranged for you. He will take care of all your daily needs here. Just tell him if you need anything."

Lu Yun's gaze fell on the old man, and his pupils contracted slightly.

A cosmic-level powerhouse!

The fact that the Qianwu Dojo has appointed a cosmic-level powerhouse as its steward is truly astonishing.

"Mr. Lu Yun, I am your butler, 'Mo'," the old man introduced himself, his attitude humble and respectful.

"Thank you for your help, Butler Mo." Lu Yun nodded.

Monte looked at everything with satisfaction, then patted Lu Yun on the shoulder: "Alright, familiarize yourself with the environment first. If anything happens, feel free to contact me through the virtual universe."

After saying this, Lord Monte turned and left.

The vast manor was now empty except for Lu Yun and the butler, Mo.

"Mr. Lu Yun," Butler Mo bowed slightly, his voice steady, "I have already applied for access to the nutrient chamber for you."

"A nutrient tank?" Lu Yun asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes," Butler Mo explained, "This is one of the highest privileges attached to the 'Core Seed Slot.' The dojo will utilize massive resources to directly elevate your physical attributes and Origin Force cultivation to the peak of the ninth rank of the Constant Star level in the shortest possible time through the nutrient tank."

"Everything is to make it easier for you to qualify for the 'Qianwu Secret Realm'."

Lu Yun was taken aback.

Directly upgraded to the ninth level of the Hengxing realm?

This is an incredibly ambitious undertaking.

Butler Mo noticed Lu Yun's surprise and calmly added, "This spot is extremely valuable. The entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire's dojo branches only have one or two spots a year. Lord Monte has high hopes for you."

Lu Yun understood.

The Qianwu Taoist temple represents an investment in him regardless of cost.

"The debugging and resource allocation of the nutrient tank will take three days," said Butler Mo. "After three days, everything will be ready."

"Okay." Lu Yun nodded.

Butler Mo bowed and silently stepped aside.

Lu Yun strolled around the huge manor at his leisure.

He was walking on the grass by the lake when a thought suddenly popped into his head.

Ling Xue, isn't she also at the Qianwu Dojo?

With a thought, Lu Yun connected his consciousness to the virtual universe network and directly dialed Ling Xue's number.

The communication was quickly established.

"Lu Yun?" Ling Xue's figure appeared in the light screen, with what appeared to be a simple training room in the background.

"It's me." Lu Yun smiled. "I'm also at the Qianwu Dojo now."

"What?" A hint of surprise appeared on Ling Xue's usually cold face.

"I'm at Manor 003 in the Black Dragon Mountain branch," Lu Yun said directly. "Come over here."

Ling Xue, on the other side of the light screen, was completely stunned.

Her cold eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Manor No. 003?" she asked, still somewhat doubtful. "Are you sure?"

Lu Yun didn't say anything and hung up the call.

Soon, a cold and aloof figure appeared silently outside the manor gate.

It was Ling Xue.

Lu Yun was taken aback.

"So fast?"

Ling Xue was still wearing her plain white training clothes. She walked up to Lu Yun and spoke in surprise.

I live next door to you.

Lu Yun was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the manor next to him.

Just then, Butler Mo walked over, bowed slightly, and explained, "Mr. Lu Yun, Miss Ling Xue is the owner of Manor No. 004. Like you, she is one of the core talents that our Qianwu Dojo Black Dragon Mountain Branch is focusing on cultivating."
