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

Chapter 52 The Choice of the Fourth Life [Ten Updates]

Lu Yun regained consciousness.

He returned to the other side of consciousness once again.

The rage and resentment at the time of self-destruction gradually subsided.

He calmed down.

In his mind, the faces of Gao De, Su Chen, and Lina appeared, along with the two children who had just learned to walk.

They all died because of themselves.

Moreover, it was done while the soul was completely controlled, and the person was instantly annihilated.

Can it be resurrected?

Lu Yun knew that the Lord of Chaos City had said that.

Once a soul is controlled and dies, it cannot be resurrected by reversing time and space.

At least, the Lord of Chaos City couldn't do that.

Lu Yun stopped thinking about it.

He knew that this was merely the perception of the Lord of the Universe.

He can't, but perhaps the Void God can.

If that doesn't work, then the eternal God.

Even the God-King and the Primordial Chaos.

He didn't believe he couldn't do it.

As for King Moryu?

"snort."

"Can't fight against fate?"

"Does death mean the end of everything?"

"You have no idea who you've messed with!!!"

Lu Yun will avenge this grudge.

The fog remained, obscuring everything, yet it seemed to have thinned even more noticeably than when I awoke in my previous life.

Just as he was gazing at it, a branch on the huge tree above him swayed gently.

A pure white spider lily silently detaches from the branch and slowly drifts down.

Originally there were ninety-eight flowers, but now only ninety-seven remain.

[Do you choose to be reincarnated as a potential domain lord-level plant life form?]

Reincarnated as a potential plant life form at the domain lord level?

Domain Lord level — too low.

He directly chose "no".

Immediately, his consciousness focused on those five innate talents.

【Thousand Illusions】, 【Soul Thorns】, 【Mirror Flower Water Moon】—each one is incredibly powerful.

But in Lu Yun's eyes, these were not what he needed most urgently.

His goal in this life is very clear—the Law of Water, or the Law of Space!

This was based on the characteristics of the [Misty Return to the Void Sword].

Moreover, he himself has the highest talent in both of these systems.

Everything else is secondary.

Only with [Psychic Amplification] can the amplitude of psychic power directly reach one hundred times, which is of great direct help to one's future path, both in the early and later stages.

We must not waste our precious points elsewhere.

"I choose [Psychic Amplification]," Lu Yun silently thought to himself.

[Selection successful, 5500 achievement points consumed, 14475 achievement points remaining]

"refresh."

[Intuitive Warning: You will experience intense heart palpitations before a deadly danger strikes. Price: 8000]

Lu Yun's consciousness instantly focused on the new talent list.

His breath caught in his throat when his gaze swept over the third option.

[Spatial Laws: Your understanding of spatial laws will increase a hundredfold. Price: 9999]

finally come!

An irrepressible joy welled up in Lu Yun's heart.

This is the talent he has longed for most in this life!

However, when he saw the price, his brows furrowed slightly.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine points.

Why is it so expensive?

The previous [Law of Metal] and [Law of Fire] only cost 4,399 points.

The price of these spatial laws is more than twice that of them.

Lu Yun's mind raced.

"Is it because the laws of space are superior laws?"

He quickly figured it out.

Time and space, these two systems of laws, are inherently superior to the eight fundamental laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light.

It's only natural that the price is higher.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the fourth talent.

[Intuitive Warning: You will experience intense heart palpitations before a deadly danger strikes. Price: 8000]

This talent is also very good.

Lu Yun sighed inwardly.

It's a pity I don't have enough achievement points.

With this talent, in many dangerous situations, especially in places like overseas battlefields where ambushes are common, it is an absolute life-saving skill.

Being able to foresee deadly dangers greatly increases one's survival ability.

"I choose the [Law of Space]."

[Selection successful, 9999 achievement points consumed, 4471 achievement points remaining]

His spatial talent was already extremely high, and now it has been increased a hundredfold—

A thought suddenly occurred to Lu Yun.

"I wonder if my understanding of the laws of space has reached the level of 'Death God' Berlan?"

After selecting his talent, Lu Yun looked at the remaining four thousand achievement points and made another decision.

"refresh."

This time, he clearly sensed a wave ten times stronger than before spreading through the mist.

[50 Achievement Points Consumed, 4421 Achievement Points Remaining]

Each refresh costs ten times more points!

Only three entries appeared.

[Slightly Improved Comprehension: Your comprehension of learning and creating secret techniques has slightly improved. Price: 4000]

[Bloodline Life: You can burn your life force to unleash double your combat power, but you will be weakened afterward. Price: 4300]

[Immortal Master: You will encounter an immortal-level powerhouse and become their disciple. Price: 10000]

Lu Yun glanced at the three newly displayed keywords and quickly scanned them.

When he saw the third item, "Immortal Army," he crossed it off in his mind almost without hesitation.

He doesn't even have 10,000 achievement points right now, let alone 10,000.

Even if it were enough, he would absolutely not choose it.

This talent meant nothing to him.

In this life, he chose two great talents: [Psychic Amplification] and [Spatial Laws].

The amplitude of telekinesis is naturally a hundred times greater!

A natural a hundredfold understanding of spatial laws!

What terrifying talent!

Even among the geniuses of the entire human race spanning billions of eras, he would be among the very top few.

With such talent, why worry about not having a strong person willing to take him as a disciple?

If one were to reveal their talent, even those destined for immortality would be eager to claim it, and even cosmic venerables would be tempted.

Spending 10,000 achievement points to exchange for an opportunity that was already readily available is the biggest waste.

Lu Yun's gaze fell on the first and second talents.

[Bloodline Life]: Burn your life force to unleash your combat power.

This is a desperate trump card that might save your life in a critical moment.

However, the cost is also high, and one will fall into weakness afterward.

His gaze finally settled on the first talent.

[Slightly Improved Comprehension: Your comprehension of learning and creating secret techniques has slightly improved. Price: 4000]

His comprehension has improved slightly.

How much exactly is "slightly" increased?

This description is very vague.

But Lu Yun's eyes gradually brightened.

He knew very well what was most important in the world of Swallowing the Stars.

Understanding the principles is the foundation.

Secret techniques, on the other hand, are the means to transform one's understanding of laws into actual combat power.

The same understanding of the laws can result in completely different combat power depending on whether one possesses powerful secret techniques or not.

To become a true master, one must never keep learning other people's secret techniques.

Following someone else's path might be smooth in the early stages, allowing you to easily become a realm lord, or even an immortal.

However, if you want to surpass your predecessors and reach the highest point in the universe, you must ultimately create your own path and your own secret method!

Many geniuses get stuck at this step.

They have a strong ability to learn, but when it comes to creating on their own, they always fall short of the mark.

That slight adjustment is enlightenment.

Although this talent only slightly enhances one's abilities, it influences the entire process of growing from weak to strong.

It determines the upper limit of one's future!

Compared to this fundamental talent that determines the future, the one-time trump card of [Bloodline Life] seems less important.

"I choose, [Slightly Increased Comprehension]." Lu Yun made his decision.

[Talent selection complete]

[Selected Talent 1: Telekinesis Amplification (Your telekinesis amplitude reaches 100 times)]

[Selected Talent Two: Spatial Laws (Your understanding of spatial laws has increased a hundredfold)]

[Selected Talent Three: Slightly Increased Comprehension (Your comprehension of learning and creating arcane arts has slightly improved)]

[Remaining Achievement Points: 421]

Talent selection complete.

Each of these three talents is enough to drive geniuses throughout the universe mad.

And now, they are all embodied in Lu Yun.

In his previous life, he possessed the talent of a [Master of Weapon Refining] and had some fortuitous encounters, yet he only managed to gain minor fame within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

But this life is different.

The talent I possess in this life is truly meant for fighting and cultivation.

In this life, he will no longer be confined to a particular empire or a particular star system.

He knew he was about to step onto the grand stage of the universe.

"I will avenge the grudges from my past life, as well as the lives of Lina and God.

[The cycle of reincarnation continues, the fourth life is about to begin —]
