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

Chapter 53 For Those Who Can Never Return [Eleventh Update]

Lan Yangxing.

This is the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, a well-known life-bearing planet within the Canglan Star Region.

Ninety percent of the planet's surface is covered by ocean, dotted only with a few emerald-green continents and countless pearl-like islands.

This is the capital star of the Blue Central Empire, and also the absolute core of the entire Silver Sand Star System.

The Blue Central Kingdom is a nation under the jurisdiction of a primary cosmic civilization within the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom. Its territory covers the entire Silver Sand Star System, with over three thousand inhabited planets and a population in the trillions.

The creators of all this are the Luo family, who are based on Lanyang Star.

Blue Central Star, Starry Sky Port.

The crowds were dense.

As the hatch of a small spaceship opened, a black-haired youth stepped out.

"It's Young Master Luo Yun!"

"Look, Young Master Luo Yun is back!"

A low murmur arose from the crowd.

The black-haired youth seemed not to hear these voices.

He simply stood there quietly, taking a deep breath of the air, which carried a faint salty taste and a fresh scent.

Lu Yun simply responded silently in his heart.

"yes."

"I'm back... for those... who can't come back."

The next moment, Lu Yun's figure soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, and flew directly towards the largest island floating above the blue sea at the edge of his vision.

That place is the ancestral home of the Luo family, and also his home in this life.

The Luo family's ancestral home is built on the central dragon vein of the entire floating island.

Lu Yun's figure landed in front of the council hall.

The spacious hall was dimly lit.

Seated at the head of the table was a middle-aged man dressed in a long black robe. He was Luo Shan, the current patriarch of the Luo family, a powerhouse at the cosmic level.

On either side below, six elders sat. They were the elders of the Luo clan, each of them a ninth-level Hengxing.

The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Clan leader, great-uncle, and all my uncles."

Lu Yun entered the hall and bowed to the elders seated on the upper seat and on both sides.

The clan chief, Luo Shan, nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, the hall fell into a deathly silence once more.

An elder with white hair and beard moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped, and finally let out a barely audible sigh.

The oppressive atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

Finally, Luo Ming, the third uncle of Luo Yun and the first elder on the left with a gaunt figure, broke the silence.

His gaze was sharp as a falcon's, fixed on Luo Yun, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "Luo Yun, you had a bright future in the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm, why did you do something so foolish as to fight over a romantic relationship?"

His voice suddenly rose, full of disappointment: "Now look what's happened! He offended someone he shouldn't have, and has been expelled from the party!"

You've utterly disgraced the Luo family!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud shout rang out: "Third brother, what nonsense are you spouting!"

On the right, the burly Seventh Uncle Luo Zhan slammed his hand on the armrest and stood up abruptly.

"Jealousy? Easier said than done!"

"That woman's father is an immortal powerhouse, so what? She changes male companions in the secret realm faster than she changes clothes!"

'

Seventh Uncle's gaze swept across the room, filled with disdain and anger: "She didn't just fancy Xiaoyun, she wanted our Luo family's prodigy to be her male concubine!"

"Does that mean," he said firmly, "that the descendants of the Luo family have no regard for dignity?!"

"Xiaoyun's refusal was commendable! I, Luo Zhan, am the first to agree!"

The third uncle was so speechless that his face turned red. He opened his mouth, but in the end he could only snort coldly in resentment and sit down with a flick of his sleeve.

Inside the hall, the elders displayed different expressions, clearly indicating differing opinions on the matter.

Lu Yun sat quietly.

Before awakening his past life memories, he was the most outstanding genius of the Luo family in this generation.

The Luo Clan, a force under the jurisdiction of a primitive cosmic civilization rooted in the Silver Sand Galaxy, may seem powerful, but in reality, it is just a drop in the ocean compared to a behemoth like the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, and could be overthrown by the tide at any time.

To give Luo Yun a better starting point, the family risked almost everything.

The family relied on tens of millions of years of accumulated wealth, plus loans.

They exchanged a spiritual medicine for Lu Yun, which allowed him to enter the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm.

This loan entails not only the future profits of the Luo family for millions of years, but also the hopes of three thousand inhabited planets and hundreds of millions of people.

Therefore, every day while he was in the secret realm, he could feel the gaze of countless eyes on him, and dared not slack off in the slightest.

He focused wholeheartedly on his cultivation, making rapid progress and quickly standing out among the geniuses of his generation.

But it was precisely this dazzling brilliance that attracted Kai's covetousness.

Eliza is the daughter of an immortal powerhouse, of noble birth, and always acts as she pleases.

She extended an "invitation" to Luo Yun, hoping to make him her devoted subject.

Luo Yun refused without even thinking.

The expectations of countless people and the hard work of hundreds of millions of people are not meant for him to come here and grovel before a woman.

How could he possibly depend on a despicable person?

The Luo family rose from humble beginnings not by groveling, but by the upright character of generation after generation!

This is not their family tradition.

However, to his surprise...

"A powerful person can be capricious with a little bit of power."

Luo Yun was then removed from the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm.

He was sent back to his hometown.

The argument in the hall gradually subsided as the clan chief, Luo Shan, looked on.

Moreover, with Luo Yun's expulsion...

Those forces and individuals who initially favored Luo Yun and provided loans to the Luo family have now realized that something is amiss.

The Luo family has offended a powerful figure.

This news is enough to make any collaborator reassess the risks.

Suddenly, undercurrents were stirring.

The Luo family, which had stood tall in the Silver Sand Galaxy for millions of years, was suddenly plunged into turmoil.

Luo Shan, seated at the head of the table, spoke slowly.

"In order to purchase that elixir and send Xiaoyun into the Ancient Wheel Secret Realm, a total of 10 billion cosmic coins were spent."

"Of this 10 billion, 5 billion is the entire accumulation of my Luo family over tens of millions of years."

"The remaining five billion is a loan."

"According to the original agreement, we can pay off this money in installments over a million years."

Luo Shan paused, his tone becoming even more somber.

"But now, because of Xiaoyun's situation, the creditors are demanding that we pay off the debt within ten thousand years!"

"It will take 10,000 years to pay off 5 billion."

"That means we need to repay 500,000 cosmic coins every year."

He looked at everyone and continued, "Then there are the family's normal expenses."

"Our family spends about a thousand cosmic coins each year to cultivate planetary-level offspring."

"It takes 200,000 cosmic coins to cultivate a star-level being."

"Xiao Yun's annual cultivation resources are also 200,000 universe coins."

"Loans, plus expenses. The total annual expenditure for the Luo family is 900,000 cosmic coins."

Luo Shan looked at everyone in the hall and continued calculating the family's income and expenditure.

"Now, let's calculate the income."

"Our Luo clan controls the entire Silver Sand Galaxy, which contains three thousand inhabited planets."

"On average, our family's annual net profit on each planet is approximately 600 million Canglan Coins [Black Dragon Coins]."

"Six hundred million Canglan coins [Black Dragon coins], converted to Ancient Wheel coins [Qianwu coins], is four hundred thousand." Luo Shan looked at everyone, "and converted to Universe coins, it's one hundred and twenty."

A life-bearing planet, billions of inhabitants, a whole year of hard work, and all they get in return is this number.

"With all three thousand planets combined, our total annual income would be 360,000 cosmic coins."

"Adding in other businesses run by the family, we can barely scrape together 500,000 universe coins."

"Total expenditure: 900,000 cosmic coins."

"Total income: 500,000 Cosmic Coins."

"In other words, our Luo family has a funding gap of 400,000 cosmic coins every year."

This is a terrifying number that could crush the entire Luo family.

Just then, Lu Yun, who had been silent all along, slowly stood up.

"Clan leader, uncles and great-uncles."

"Let's stop using my cultivation resources."

These words shocked everyone present.

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

Almost simultaneously, all the elders, including the clan leader Luo Shan, resolutely refused.

Their attitude was absolutely firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lu Yun is the hope of the family.

Even though he was expelled from the secret realm, this has never changed!

The burly Seventh Uncle, Luo Zhan, stood up again, his tiger-like eyes wide as he stared at Lu Yun, and said in a deep voice, "Little Yun! Your cultivation cannot stop; you must intensify it!"

"You've been expelled from the Ancient Wheel Mystic Realm, but there's always a way out!"

"The Battle of Cosmic Geniuses is about to begin!"

"You'd better prepare yourself!"

His eyes burned with anticipation. "If you can break into the top million of our Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom in that battle of geniuses!"

"If you can reach this ranking, you will be recognized as a top genius by the entire universe!"

Those creditors not only dared not pressure us anymore, but instead turned around and fawned over us!

All the difficulties facing our Luo family will be resolved!
