Swallowing the Stars: Inheriting the Legacy of Myriad Worlds

What Li Che didn't know was that his reputation was spreading much faster among the five giants than he had imagined.

The leaders of top forces such as Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena stationed in Rongbing Empire were extremely efficient. After learning about Li Che's outrageous battle record in the virtual space of the killing arena, they not only extended an invitation to Li Che himself, but also promptly reported to their superiors.

This is a testament to the incredibly high efficiency of information transmission in the virtual universe.

With the support of this powerful arcane derivative, the cost of communication within the human race is so low that a simple email or phone call can transmit information that is occurring in several star sectors or even more distant regions.

Therefore, less than half a year after Li Che fought against the virtual immortal god, the middle-level members of the five giants had already integrated information about the identity, background, life experience, and possibility of alien spies of the Realm Lord Li Che.

Subsequently, more than twenty top-tier immortal kings and cosmic venerables with compatible abilities or who intended to take on disciples received messages from their respective forces.

After seeing Li Che's battle footage and the accompanying basic information, these powerful beings quickly realized the extraordinary nature of this young genius.

Despite being young and having never received systematic guidance before, he still managed to reach a level of understanding of the laws that was close to the peak of the Marquis title, all on his own.

In terms of the five major powers' internal bridges to heaven, it means that if you can reliably pass through the 16th level of the bridge to heaven, you are not too far from the 17th level.

They understood that, given Li Che's wishes, he would inevitably join one of the five major powers in the future, and regardless of which side he joined, he would surely experience a period of explosive growth in strength in the short term.

Once he achieves immortality, he may be able to reach the peak of the King title or even the limit of the King title very quickly, even with hard work.

Then, if he has a good teacher to help him obtain sufficiently high-level treasures and inheritances, such as the inheritance of beast gods or the inheritance of divine generals, he can hope to become a cosmic venerable.

On this day, many of the most outstanding immortals in the human race were very interested and had the idea of ​​taking on disciples, while the cosmic venerables were analyzing Li Che's potential and assessing the possibility of Li Che becoming a cosmic venerable.

In the eyes of most of them, the act of taking on apprentices is essentially an investment that requires a huge amount of resources and energy. If they were to actually take on apprentices, they would have to ensure a balance between costs and benefits.

The cosmic venerables naturally hope to have a disciple who is also at the cosmic venerable level, so they consider this matter very carefully.

However, those who were granted the title of King or Immortal showed great enthusiasm.

After all, they believed that Li Che's potential would surely lead him to become a king-level being after achieving immortality, and that as long as he took on disciples, he would likely reap considerable rewards.

A typical success story in this regard is the True King, the invincible king of the Virtual Universe Company. One of his disciples is named Bloodthirsty King, who is the envy of many within the human race.

A master who is invincible at the King level has a disciple at the pinnacle of the King level. They can completely trust each other. The strong bond of the master-disciple relationship makes them solid and reliable allies.

Those powerful immortal kings naturally wished they could also have such a powerful ally.

Unfortunately, according to the rules of the five major powers, the immortal kings can only accept Li Che as a disciple if no cosmic venerable takes him as a disciple within a certain period of time.

······

About six months after the great battle between Li Che and the Virtual Immortal, in the primordial universe, in a secret place countless billions of light-years away from human territory, a great being of extremely powerful strength suddenly opened his eyes.

This powerful being possesses a ferocious wolf's head and is covered in long hair. He is an unparalleled powerhouse among the werewolves, a major branch of the human race.

"Oh? A suggestion from the clan to take on disciples? I'm based in the Ancestral God Cult, and they're even suggesting I take on disciples?"

Upon receiving the message from the virtual universe, he was slightly taken aback at first, then opened the virtual email with great interest.

Among them is footage of Li Che battling against the virtual immortal in the killing field.

The werewolf warriors fast-forwarded the battle footage a thousand times, yet still managed to complete a very detailed assessment of every aspect of Li Che's fight:

"So that's how it is. The elders of the tribe believe he has the potential to inherit the legacy of a certain divine general..."

He stroked his long, furry wolf ears and fell into deep thought.

This great werewolf was known as Venerable Jiufeng, one of the most powerful legends in the werewolf race, and held a very high position within the human race as well.

The reason is simple: Venerable Jiufeng is a figure who has perfectly inherited the legacy of a divine general within the Ancestral God Sect, and is one of the most famous cosmic overlords within the clan.

Within the Ancestral God Sect where Venerable Jiufeng resides, there are three levels of powerful inheritances: the inheritances of the Eight Great Beast Gods, the inheritances of the 72 Divine Generals, and the inheritances of the 3000 Divine Envoys.

For example, the Divine Envoy Inheritance: if one can become one of the 3000 Divine Envoys of the Ancestral God Sect, one will immediately become the strongest being among the immortal gods, and even possess supporting treasures, secret techniques, and methods, with strength comparable to the weakest Universe Venerable.

For example, the inheritance of divine generals. If one can obtain everything in the inheritance of divine generals and inherit the position of divine general of the Ancestral God Sect, then one is an invincible existence among the cosmic venerables. One can fight against the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, the Lord of the Star Prison Demon, etc., and there are almost no opponents below the Lord of the Universe.

Even if one cannot inherit the position of divine messenger or divine general, one can still become the strongest person in this level by relying on this set of inheritances.

Venerable Jiufeng was one of the beneficiaries of the Ancestral God Sect's divine general inheritance. With just a complete set of divine general inheritance, even though he was only a candidate divine general, he became a cosmic overlord.

Venerable Jiufeng can confirm that the law bias that Li Che is currently exhibiting is indeed very consistent with one of the inheritances of the 72 Divine Generals of the Ancestral God Sect.

That was a system of inheritance called the Black Light God General.

The so-called "black light" refers to both "black holes" and "ultimate light." These two completely different methods are perfectly fused together under the influence of this divine inheritance, unleashing tremendous power.

Although Li Che is currently only a minor realm lord, the methods he has displayed are already very similar to the black hole part of the divine general's inheritance.

Venerable Jiufeng nodded secretly.

Given Li Che's age of only 50,000 years and the talent he has shown, he believes that Li Che is likely to master "Ultimate Light" during his time as a World Lord, and then attempt to accept the inheritance of the Black Light God General.

If Li Che can truly obtain and master the complete and flawless inheritance of the Black Light God General, it means that the human race will have one more cosmic overlord at the level of a candidate God General.

Venerable Jiufeng could also gain a disciple of comparable strength who could be completely trusted.

"Master, shall we inform the clan of our willingness to accept Realm Lord Li Che as a disciple?"

Just as Venerable Jiufeng was deep in thought, he heard the voice of his intelligent life assistant again—the assistant of the great cosmic overlord, of course, was an intelligent life form, and a powerful life form that had obtained the Heart of Evolution and whose strength had reached the level of a king.

"call······"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jiufeng let out a soft breath, a smile appearing on his ferocious wolf head:

"Of course, he is a very, very young realm lord. He has already shown his talent. In my opinion, it would be worthwhile to invest a Divine General Inheritance Crystal or even a Beast God Inheritance Token in him."

Soon, the voice of the intelligent life assistant reached Venerable Jiufeng's ears:

"Yes, Master. According to the management regulations, if the founder of the Giant Axe and the Lords of the Universe do not show any willingness to take on apprentices within the next 200 years, you will automatically be placed first in this person's apprenticeship sequence."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Jiufeng's sharp wolf eyes flashed with a glimmer of law:

"Oh? So you've already become a genius qualified to alarm the lords of the universe?"

The intelligent life assistant affirmed:

"Yes, according to the comprehensive evaluation of the elders in charge of the clan, he has already qualified to be accepted as a disciple by the Lord of the Universe."
