Swallowing the Starry Sky for Billions of Years

Chapter 787 Returning to Ordinary Life
Gu En sat atop the mansion in Chaos City, gazing at the primordial laws now manifesting above Chaos City. These laws were treasures to ordinary cultivators, but Gu En felt a strange mix of emotions, a sense of bewilderment. The sky above Chaos City had once been tinged with a pale blue, but now even the primordial calamity was gone, leaving only its most primitive form.

There was once a cloud tower to record the achievements of predecessors, and there was once a chaotic beast that ascended to heaven to retrieve treasures...

Today, Chaos City is ancient and desolate, primitive and simple, with a purer Daoist intent, but lacking vitality.

"Master, Kandri is here to pay his respects." Moto's voice rang out. Ever since he obtained the Thunder Machine Sky, Moto had been very excited. Although he couldn't even understand the main machine used by the overlords of the mechanical race, it greatly inspired his fighting spirit.

Azure and Jie are among the top tier of Gunn's followers or close soul slaves.

Secondly, there are the Blazing Thorns, Moto, Martinton, and Umon. With the support of abundant resources, they have all grown rapidly and reached the advanced King level. Gunn's resources are truly abundant. The Primordial Units alone, the harvest from the Firebeard Vein, are enough to last forever. Not to mention the resources that can be exchanged for just one Treasure Point, which are enough to arm them to the teeth. Even Reis, the Flame Star Beast, and Kreh have become Immortals.

Reis and Kreh were the luckiest. Reis relied on himself and it took him a thousand epochs to barely break through to immortality. Only with the help of resources was he able to break through ahead of schedule. He has already returned to the Rain Valley World of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance's Heroic Spirit Secret Realm to accompany the Hell Mountain Clan. The Hell Mountain Clan was born from the Rain Valley World, so it is impossible for them to leave. The only guarantee that Gunn made was to have Blood Pottery Star monitor and protect the Hell Mountain Clan.

Kreh's success was entirely due to Shi Mang and Vana Bonnie. Although Vana Bonnie was dispensable in the Lan Clan, she and Shi Mang still attracted the attention of the Butterfly Saint Envoy, which gave Gunn the opportunity to obtain a clone. Although soul slaves are supposed to do such things, that battle is still fondly remembered. Kreh served as the vessel for this fondness, and helping her break through to immortality was already the limit.

Moto had always longed to be like the Fiery Thorns, having rendered great service to Gunn. Given the opportunity, he would naturally strive to make progress, even though they were inseparable from Gunn due to their special connection with the Source Mask.

Despite his aged appearance, Kander had gained a touch of kindness.

"Greetings, Lord Gu Hui," Kandri said earnestly.

“Alright, Kanderley, sit down.” Gunn sat down on the ground, and Kanderley followed suit. “You’re in Chaos City? That’s rare. Aya is about to break through, and you can still sit still.”

Kander's expression suddenly turned sorrowful: "That's why I came to Chaos City."

Candri glanced at Gunn and, seeing his calm expression, continued, "I thought I should be at least second in the first batch, but with Keya's breakthrough and Han's breakthrough, my heart is restless."

Candri continued, “My teacher applied to the higher-ups to let me be stationed here. Chaos City is the most peaceful place. If I can’t find peace here, then I’m hopeless.”

“You’re going to take over from Ludaril and the others? That’s quite suitable.” Gunn agreed. Kandri’s Thousand Souls Scripture can indeed create many parallel clones. These are not ordinary divine power incarnations. Each clone has actual combat power, but at the same time, it will weaken the original.

Ludaril, the guardian of the Bridge to Heaven, was among the many predecessors who guarded the Chaos Monument who died when the Universe Lord of the Onizuka Clan broke in. Ludaril was not involved, but he could no longer sit still and created the intelligent life form Baffin based on himself. However, the Chaos Monument still lacked a guardian.

“Just guarding the Chaos Monument,” Kander smiled. “Having been given this opportunity, I will remain in Chaos City regardless of whether I achieve a breakthrough or not.”

“I think there’s a great chance. If you break through, you and Han Du still have a good chance. It would be great if our generation produced four Universe Venerables. It’s been so long, and only Aiya is breaking through. It’s too disappointing for outsiders. The previous ten generations have already produced six Universe Venerables. Don’t fall behind. Ten million years is too long. It’s taken several times longer than others.” Gunn was slightly dissatisfied.

This generation does indeed have some problems. While dazzling, they are also somewhat weak. A normal Cosmic Venerable can usually break through within a few hundred epochs. Once it's been a thousand epochs, the probability drops sharply, and their future potential is often questioned. Only Han broke through more than five hundred epochs ago, later surpassing others to become a Venerable. Aya and Kandri, however, delayed for too long, lingering in some secret realm for too long.

“I’ve also grasped some of the key points. I’ll be going into seclusion within the next hundred epochs,” Kandri said with a smile.

"That's good." Gunn smiled as well.

The two talked for a while longer before Kander left.

“Master, he doesn’t look like he’s having an easy time,” Moto said bluntly.

“He can’t catch up. There’s a virtual universe. It’s not difficult for him to see me, but a frank conversation is already difficult. He’s dragged it out for too long. Coming to see me is just putting some pressure on himself.” Gunn knew perfectly well. “As for you, you’re in the mood to care about others. Have you even figured things out yourself before you start caring?”

“Master, cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest,” Moto argued.

Gunn shook his head.

……

Fengxing Universe Kingdom is the core star sector of Gunn's managed area. The sixteen surrounding universe kingdom regions are all under Gunn's command. At first, there were various alien races, which Gunn did not suppress much. However, with the end of the Battle of Bayuan Kui Annihilation Arrow, most of those alien races withdrew from this area.

Moreover, these sixteen cosmic kingdoms have each developed in their own way. With the Wind-Riding Cosmic Kingdom as the center and the Dry Witch Cosmic Kingdom and the Blood-Abandoned Cosmic Kingdom guarding it, it is no longer as barren as before. In addition, the Purple Radiance Venerable and Axe Guard Venerable, who were arranged by Gu En, have been patrolling this area, and the level of security has been greatly improved. Many human races have already voluntarily migrated here.

Now, this is a rare golden age for the Fengxing Universe Kingdom. After developing for thousands of epochs, it finally has enough confidence to participate in the Universe Genius Battle and the Universe Strongman Battle. Previously, the Fengxing Universe Kingdom's foundation was too weak, and its participation was just to make up the numbers. Now that Guen has finally lifted the ban and allowed the Fengxing Universe Kingdom to participate, the entire universe kingdom has naturally become lively.

At Guen's instruction, Venerable Zihui and other beings migrated several cosmic secret realms to the Wind-Riding Universe Kingdom. Guen personally arranged many trial sites and placed many treasures inside, which quickly completed the accumulation of basic cultivation reserves. However, compared with those established cosmic kingdoms, it was still weak. This was the only thing that could not be rushed.

"This is the first time our Fengxing Universe Nation has participated in the Universe Genius Battle. As a fellow cosmic nation, we have always been looked down upon by others. Finally, we can vent our anger."

"They just developed earlier than us. In terms of talent and fighting spirit, we are no weaker than them!"

"We also have the uniquely gifted Crimson Star Clan, and we are determined to amaze the universe!"

"Charge, Rowe!"

Unlike other universe nations, Fengxing Universe Nation gives the impression that the entire universe nation is making way for the Universe Genius Battle, which also allows Virtual Universe Company to completely overshadow the other four giants in this region.
