Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 537

The soul is the first to change. The primordial way merges with the matter of the world to give birth to the origin of the world. In this fusion and change, the soul is also being baptized.

The inner world is changing, and the soul is fundamentally reconstructed, moving towards a higher level of life.

The importance of body, soul, and will increases in that order, and the difficulty of transformation also increases accordingly.

The body can be improved through regular cultivation, but the soul can only leap through a higher realm. As for willpower, even Lu Yunhe has not found a way to make its essence leap; it has only been able to improve in terms of quantity and intensity.

With a foundation comparable to, or even stronger than, that of a Beast King, Lu Yunhe's breakthrough had absolutely no chance of failure.

The soul was the first to complete the evolution, and its original strength far surpassed that of ordinary god-kings.

One step forward leads to continuous progress.

"The Inner World!"

Lu Yunhe looked at his inner universe, the cosmic sea system he created when he broke through to the True God realm. It was a three-in-one structure: the primordial universe at the center, the supporting cosmic sea, and the reflected world of destruction.

If the cosmic structure created back then was entirely based on the evolution of the origin of the inner world, then Lu Yunhe could only say that he provided an idea.

However, at this moment, with his God-King level soul essence and his understanding of the Origin Dao, Lu Yunhe is fully capable of constructing all the mysteries of this universe structure with his own will.

"Rumble..."

The inner realm exploded instantly, transforming into the primordial chaotic space. Subsequently, the origin of the universe began to evolve rapidly, from the most profound mysteries of the universe to the laws of time and space, as well as the manifested wind, rain, thunder, lightning, the movement of planets and stars, matter and life...

Every single detail was constructed by Lu Yunhe single-handedly.

Of course, given the vastness of his inner world, Lu Yunhe didn't need to construct it bit by bit. Once he had constructed a sufficiently complete system, he could simply copy and paste it.

Just like Nuwa creating humans, she initially shaped them by hand, but after becoming familiar with them, she could simply flick a whip.

As the laws of nature took effect, everything that Lu Yunhe had previously comprehended was perfectly manifested within his inner world—birds and beasts flying and running.

Lu Yunhe was completely immersed in this true hand of creation.

"The Mountain-Sitting Guest created life on Earth and the Flame God Clan in the primordial universe, and I can do the same now."

Lu Yunhe was filled with countless inspirations, and a large number of perfect genetic life forms were created. However, these life forms had the highest potential, but it was still hard to say how far they could go.

boom……

During the evolution of the universe within the body, the divine power accumulated before was completely filled in, and not only that, it was also frantically absorbing the origin of the surrounding heaven and earth.

The power of a god-king level being able to absorb and exhale caused a tremendous commotion, instantly sweeping through Lu Yunhe's territory in the Origin Continent.

"This fluctuation?"

The fluctuations of divine power instantly attracted the attention of the nearby God-King.

Chapter 528 The Way of the Doppelganger

"This position belongs to the Eternal Lord!"

"The Eternal Lord has broken through!"

"This power fluctuation is definitely at the God-King level."

Aside from the God King, the surrounding Chaos Rulers felt the fluctuations of Lu Yunhe's breakthrough most clearly.

After all, it was a territory acquired through a transaction, and there were many more Chaos Overlords surrounding it.

The Chaos Sovereigns, who were originally in seclusion, were also awakened by this energy fluctuation. Upon discovering that someone had broken through to the God King level, they all revealed their envy.

As for the underhanded tactics, the fact that it can frantically absorb the power of heaven and earth indicates that the main process of breaking through to the God King level has been completed, and it is just lacking some energy accumulation. It's a bit too late to interfere now.

"too fast!"

The surrounding Chaos Rulers were somewhat conflicted, unsure how to face this newly born God-King.

In particular, the Chaos Overlord, who was originally under the command of the God King, sold off a portion of his territory because the God King died in the Great War of the Beast Realms.

Unexpectedly, the Chaos Ruler who bought this land broke through to the God King level so quickly, which put immense pressure on the surrounding territories.

If a god-king wants to expand his territory, only another god-king can stop him; the rulers of chaos cannot stop him.

Even with the promise from the Pantheon, it's estimated that in the end they can only guard some core areas. Without the strength of a God-King, they simply cannot defend large swathes of territory.

Some Chaos Overlords are worried about the expansion of the God-King, while others who have also spent resources to buy territories are considering whether to leave.

Although the Chaos Ruler is not as powerful as the God-King, he still has the right to say "no".

If he didn't want to pledge allegiance to the God-King, he could simply find a place to stay and no one would bother him.

The Chaos Rulers were filled with worry and fear, their thoughts divided. Meanwhile, the God Kings on the other side exchanged a few words, left a message for Lu Yunhe, and then did not go forward to disturb him.

Having just broken through to the God King realm, his divine body, soul, and inner world are all undergoing transformation. We should at least wait until he stabilizes his realm before making any further moves.

"A Demon King has appeared on the side of the Destruction Demon Clan. I never expected that in such a short time, a God King would also be born among us," a God King sighed.

Those who can become God-Kings are all unparalleled geniuses, and their experiences are almost all those of a chosen one.

However, under the current circumstances, some beings who became god-kings long ago but whose strength is still only average have developed a feeling of being abandoned by the times.

Even a god-king can only go with the flow and cannot affect the overall situation.

"It doesn't matter, the ending is already decided, no one can escape the cycle of reincarnation," another god-king replied pessimistically.

Those true gods always thought that the god-kings were omnipotent and desperately wanted to become stronger. Little did they know that the god-kings also had their own troubles, even despair.

The great cycle of reincarnation in the unseen world is something even a god-king cannot escape, watching the end of the world approach little by little, yet powerless to stop it.

Many of the god-kings found it unbearable, which is why they ventured into various desperate situations.

The beings born from the primordial universe deeply understand this, because they were molded from the same mold as the source world.

Of course, that's just what I said. I didn't regret breaking through to the God King level. It's just that God Kings also have their own troubles.

"How exactly can one reach the realm of 'Yuan'?" The God-Kings' voices were filled with longing. That realm beyond the God-Kings could be said to be the goal of all God-Kings, and even became their spiritual sustenance.

After each of the God-Kings left a spiritual imprint on Lu Yunhe, they left one after another without disturbing the newly born God-King.

……

"left!"

As Lu Yunhe's breakthrough neared its end, he sensed the departing God King's will. After collecting the communication marks left to him by the myths, he did not end his seclusion.

Given his foundation, there was no question of him failing to break through. He had already completed the breakthrough when everyone noticed, and he was simply taking advantage of the breakthrough to absorb more divine power.

Although there will be no more forced replenishment of rule-level divine power after becoming a master of the universe, there will still be a period of explosive absorption of divine power when breaking through to a higher realm.

Just like when the universe was first created, the absorption and release of energy was geometrically multiplied before it settled into a stable state.

"Eternal Universe!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the universe within his body. Depending on the God King's different understanding of the Origin Dao and the operation of the universe, the universe within his body varied greatly.

Especially their fundamental origins and foundations are completely different.

Therefore, when it came time to break through, Lu Yunhe thought for a moment and decided to use the Eternal Path.

Unlike other cultivators, who only come into contact with a higher level of worldview after reaching a certain level of cultivation.

Because Lu Yunhe was familiar with the plot, he knew about the Primal Universe Reincarnation, the Source World Reincarnation, the Hunyuan Lord, and so on from the beginning.

Therefore, after embarking on the path of cultivation, Lu Yunhe forced himself to move forward step by step, transcending these destructions and reincarnations, and reaching eternity.

When he first arrived in this world, he didn't feel anything real. But as he cultivated step by step and gained a sense of reality, Lu Yunhe gradually became more determined in his goals.

eternal!

It would be terrible if we were to die because of the destruction of the original universe or the destruction of the source world, after finally being born into this world.

Therefore, Lu Yunhe decided to embark on the path of eternity: the eternity at the origin of the universe, the eternity at the source world, the eternity at the primordial level, and so on, until true eternity.

At the moment he broke through to the God King realm, Lu Yunhe became completely resolute in his goal, and his mental will was once again elevated.

Rumble…

The universe within Lu Yunhe's body was rapidly evolving. A core, resembling a star, instantly cracked open and completely merged into this universe, pushing it to the extreme of evolution.

Eternal Core!

When Lu Yunhe broke through to the True God realm, he also forcibly incorporated an Eternal Core.

As the origin of the universe, it wasn't until the time of the God King that Lu Yunhe finally managed to drain it completely, thus ending the God King's period of emptiness.

Once a breakthrough is achieved, one reaches the pinnacle of their own realm, requiring no further accumulation.

"Eternal Universe!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the universe within his body, and every single detail was real and true.

Although both are God-Kings and have their own internal universes, they will have unique characteristics due to differences in their understanding of the fundamental Dao and their own circumstances.

Just like the universe within him, which was born from the foundation of the eternal way, it possesses the power of tracing back.

Anything placed within his inner universe can be traced back to its origin.

Once the tracing is complete, the primordial divine power can be consumed to replicate and deduce it, and so on.

The effect is very strong, but unfortunately, this ability was created by a god-king level powerhouse.

The entire inner universe was created by the God-King himself. What the inner universe can do, the God-King can also do, at most with less effort.

It has little practical significance; its main purpose is to carry one's own original Tao.

For cultivators of the same path, the abilities of their inner universes are roughly the same, but for Lu Yunhe, there is still a unique characteristic of his own inner universe.

Reincarnation!

Reincarnation merges with the Dao!

A unique ability, or rather, a special effect, belonging exclusively to Lu Yunhe.

It is a special ability born from Lu Yunhe's will, combined with the uniqueness of the Eternal Way and his ultimate understanding of the workings of the universe.

Every cultivator can have many fundamental paths, but when they break through to the God King level, their inner universe can basically only evolve based on one fundamental path.

Even if one comprehends other fundamental paths in the future, it will not have a significant impact on the internal universe.

Lu Yunhe's "Eternal Universe" can accommodate other primordial paths and encompass them within eternity through the eternal changes of ease and immutability and the cycle of the universe.

The core of an eternal future lies in grasping the changes and the constants, and in integration and inclusiveness.
