Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

The form also listed the treasures Xiao Yu wanted to exchange for, and he was naturally very interested in the quest to find the black stone. Moreover, he already had a target in mind.

"Everything you desire can be exchanged for merit," the Lord of Tianyuan Palace said with a smile as he looked down. "For the next fifty million epochs, I await your arrival to exchange for treasures."

The mission has a time limit of 50 million.

Fifty million years is both a very long time and a very short time.

For the Eternal Ancestral God, it was only the time of one period of secluded cultivation, yet it was hundreds of times longer than the time Xiao Yu had already lived.

……

The original land.

The meeting hall.

The nine avatars of the lords sat on dark crystal chairs, with beautiful puppets serving them fine wine and delicacies. The lords ate and drank, chatting about the missions of the Eternal Land.

"I never imagined that the Hengyuan Heavenly Realm would also experience such a devastating catastrophe! That it would also suffer such a great destruction." Minghuang said in a low voice.

The other lords were also not very interested.

They originally thought that becoming a lord would grant them eternal life, making them truly immortal.

But now the Lord of Tianyuan Palace is saying that even Hengyuan Heavenly Realm is in danger of annihilation. If Hengyuan Heavenly Realm is gone, their so-called immortality will also cease to exist and will perish along with Hengyuan Heavenly Realm.

Even though the Devouring Beasts failed to destroy the Eternal Origin Heaven Realm.

According to the Lord of Tianyuan Palace, Hengyuan Heavenly Realm will also be destroyed like the Origin World when the time comes. Then all the power, all living beings, and all time and space within Hengyuan Heavenly Realm will be annihilated.

Naturally, the Hunyuan Dao would cease to exist, and these lords, if they could not transcend it, would also perish completely.

“I felt before that this world was unbalanced,” Xingmang said. “There should be no eternal things in this world. Everything in a world must be born and die. Only through such a cycle can it be considered a perfect way of operating.”

A world without reincarnation will eventually face complete destruction.

As the master of the Origin World, Xiao Yu had sensed that as the Origin World ceased its great destruction and reincarnation, more and more beings were born within it, consuming more and more of its essence.

The number of Chaos Rulers has increased hundreds of times.

The number of god-kings born also increased nearly tenfold.

There are more than thirty God-Kings at the Ultimate Realm.

Xiao Yu has become the master of his hometown, the Origin World, in less than a million years. If time were to pass and extend for thousands or tens of thousands of years, what would happen?

At that time, the source energy occupied by top-tier powerhouses will be even greater, and at the same time, more ordinary beings will be born, occupying even more source energy.

This is extremely detrimental to the world of our hometown.

Therefore, Xiao Yu also set some rules for the Origin World, such as the Heavenly Tribulation. When a cultivator who has been tainted by the karma of killing to a certain extent breaks through his cultivation realm, he needs to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation. The stronger the karma, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation.

For example, in the world where ordinary living beings live, there are occasional apocalyptic or doomsday disasters.

Only by periodically destroying large numbers of living beings and worlds can the source world region achieve balance and stability.

“As masters of the Origin World, we should all feel this deeply,” Starlight said.

Xiao Yu, Yuan, Luo Feng, and others all nodded in agreement.

Although Luo Feng failed to become the master of the Origin World, he did refine a mysterious place.

"Alright, there's no point in thinking about it anymore. No matter what the future holds, we must cultivate diligently and strive to transcend this chaotic space." Jin's voice boomed. "Now, isn't this our chance? The Eternal Land has issued a mission and offered so many precious treasures for us to exchange."

“The items are all good, but unfortunately they require merit points to exchange for,” Naigu said. “Moreover, it takes 10,000 black stones to exchange for one merit point, and even the most ordinary treasure requires 10,000 black stones.”

Naigu also stopped his seclusion. He had his eye on some treasures that could help him break through his current bottleneck, but the lowest-priced item required 30,000 merit points, which was equivalent to 300 million black stones.

"Don't rush, Naigu." Xiao Yu smiled slightly. "According to the mission description, black stones may exist in any world, including the Origin World, the Mysterious Land, and special worlds."

“That’s right. The chance of finding black stones in the Origin World is as low as one in ten thousand. We should be able to find hundreds of millions of them within our territory,” Minghuang said. “If the chances are even higher, we can find even more.”

"Starlight, can you explore the future and see which source worlds contain black stones?" Yuan looked at Starlight, whose clones traveled through various timelines.

“I just examined billions of future timelines and found nothing.” Starlight shook his head. “I’m certain that those black stones cannot be found directly by peering into the future; their existence seems to be concealed. Perhaps we can only rely on the secret exploration techniques of the Eternal Land.”

Unable to even detect the starlight, Xia Yuan, Nai Gu, Ming Huang, and their companions were somewhat helpless.

"We can only continue searching through the source worlds one by one." Yuan was also helpless. If the starlight could detect it, then the lords could go directly to the source world with the black stone to search.

"Haha," Moman suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's wrong, Brother Moman? Why are you so happy?"

Lords Jin, Minghuang, Luofeng, and others all looked at Lord Moman.

“My main battle clone has just learned the detection technique and used it in a source world within my territory. As soon as it was used, it reacted and gave me guidance,” Moman said happily.

"There's a reaction, which means there are black stones within that source world," Lord Naigu said. "You're really lucky; you've already gained something after just one use."

"You found it? Where in the Source World is that black stone? Is it in the Origin Land?" Yuan asked anxiously.

“That’s right, it does point to the Origin Land,” Moman said. “Unfortunately, even with my power, I would be suppressed in the Origin World, my strength would be suppressed to the Chaos Realm, so entering the Origin Land would still be very troublesome.”

Even for a lord, there are only two ways to enter the origin of a source world.

One method is to enter by force, using overwhelming lordly pressure to directly enter the origin of the source world, but in that case, the source world will also be destroyed.

The second method requires a Dao from this Origin World to reach the ultimate realm of God King.

“This is not good news for Minghuang and me,” Moman shook his head.

For example, Minghuang comprehended the Dao of Thunder during her God-King era, reaching the ultimate God-King realm. Later, during her God-Emperor era, she comprehended the Dao of Water, and only then did she combine the mysteries of thunder and water to create the Chaotic Origin Thunder Dao.

However, not every source world possesses the ultimate path of thunder, nor necessarily the path of water.

On the contrary, Yuan and Xiao Yu are the ones who benefit the most. They have comprehended enough ultimate paths of the God King. They have comprehended the paths that exist in any source world.

The Life Dao and Destruction Dao of the God King Ultimate Realm that Luo Feng possesses are also common in the Origin World, especially the Destruction Dao, which is a standard feature of the Origin World.

The material path that Wu Lan possesses is also very common; the ultimate material path of a God-King exists in 30% of the source worlds. "Xiao Yu, was the Devouring Beast you found before also in the origin land of the Ten Billion Great Mirror Realm?" Yuan asked, looking at Xiao Yu.

“Yes.” Xiao Yu nodded, then shook his head. “But I don’t believe that these black stones necessarily exist in the origin of the source world, or they may exist in any other world within the source world.”

Within the Source World, there also exist many smaller worlds, each with its own origin.

Xingmang, Naigu, Luo Feng, and others all looked at Xiao Yu.

"Before I became a God Emperor, I found a black stone on the Origin Continent. It felt very peculiar at the time, containing endless vitality, so I kept it." Xiao Yu waved his hand, and a black stone appeared in his hand.

This black stone looks quite ordinary.

"Is this the black stone that contains terrifying vitality and can give birth to the Devouring Beast?" Luo Feng looked at the black stone with great curiosity and reached out to touch it.

He immediately felt a terrifying suction force emanating from the black stone.

"This black stone is still devouring all the energy around it!" Luo Feng exclaimed.

"Yes, it has been devouring all the energy around it. I used the endless void to seal it off and prevent any energy from getting close to it," Xiao Yu said.

Among the messages conveyed by the Eternal Land were also methods of sealing.

“Whether it exists in the origin of the source world or not, since the exploration technique can find it, we can find it, and we must find all the black stones,” Yuan said. “In this way, the nine of us will first explore the black stones within our own territory and try to find every single one. If there are any that we cannot collect, we can ask our companions for help.”

"First, search all the source worlds thoroughly. After that, explore the mysterious places and special worlds within our territory," Yuan said.

"agree."

The lords all agreed to this arrangement.

“There are over ten trillion Origin Worlds within the Eternal Land, but the Mysterious Land is less than one millionth of them. The Primordial Ancestors of Chaos entrusted us with the jurisdiction of all the Origin Worlds, and they will probably regret it later.” Jin Yao looked into the distance. He could imagine that if the gains from the Origin Worlds were large enough, it would definitely attract covetous eyes.

"What's there to be afraid of!" Xiao Yu smiled slightly, very confident.

“The list of the Heavenly Abyss Palace Master contains quite a few terrifying one-time-use treasures,” Jin said cautiously.

"A one-time use treasure? The strongest one is only at the level of a fifth-step Eternal Ancestral God, comparable to the full-force attack of a sixth-step Eternal Ancestral God. It's not like we haven't encountered them before." Xiao Yu laughed, "Besides, it's not certain who will exchange for it first."

"Even if we get it first, what if the other party also gains enough merit and gets one or two items as well? It's still dangerous!" Xingmang was also worried.

"What's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way." Xiao Yu waved his hand. "I'm going to look for the black stone first."

"I'm busy too."

"Using the detection technique requires a lot of mental energy, so I can't continue to be distracted."

One by one, the lords dispersed their clones to focus on searching for the black stone, leaving only Yuan Yi in the council hall.

"I want to see if black stones also exist in the Primordial Land." After obtaining the exploration technique, Yuan soon mastered it and could use it with ease.

Yuan's gaze swept around, his eyes landing on a certain spot in the void, where faint secret patterns were flowing, gradually forming what seemed like an arrow, vaguely pointing to three locations in the void.

"Could it be that there are also black stones in the original place, and three of them at once?" Yuan was very surprised.

He had already completely refined the Primordial Land and become its master.

Everything within the original land was under his control, but now something has happened that is beyond his control.

This made him somewhat uneasy.

Even though they were uneasy, they had no choice but to find the black stone first.

……

Ice Peak Faction.

Inside a large, ancient hall.

One by one, the avatars of the progenitors descended, and one by one, the avatars of the eternal ancestral gods also descended here. Within the entire Ice Peak camp, all the progenitors and eternal ancestral gods descended.

Even the progenitor who was in seclusion was urgently stopped and his clone was sent here.

"Bingfeng, why did you call us over in such a hurry? What happened?"

"Could it be that the cultivation faction has launched another attack?"

Some of the progenitors, who had been pulled out of their deep seclusion, were somewhat dissatisfied and grumbled.

In the entire Ice Peak faction, there are still eighty-two surviving progenitors, not to mention the twelve immortal and indestructible eternal ancestral gods.

The ancestors who survived the previous brutal wars were all top-tier ancestors, at least in terms of survival ability.

"The cultivation camp has not attacked." The Ice Peak Ancestor's cold voice resonated in the hearts of every Ancestor. "I have summoned you here for other matters."

"What is it?" asked a massive flying primordial being.

"The Eternal Land summoned us earlier with a mission for us to complete. It is a very troublesome and arduous mission," said the Ice Peak Ancestor. "Although the mission was given to the twelve of us, it was also given to all the Primordial Ancestors of the entire Ice Peak faction."

"What mission?" asked one of the progenitors, whose body was covered with thousands of tentacles.

The Ice Peak Ancestor spent about an hour explaining the details of the mission and the treasures that could be exchanged to all the ancestors.

"Such a treasure exists!"

"If I could exchange for a Life God Fruit, my life core could also evolve, and perhaps I could become immortal." An ancestor who was skilled in the highest level of the life lineage looked expectantly at the virtual screen formed by the power of the Ice Peak Ancestor.

The details of each precious treasure scrolled across the huge virtual screen.

These treasures are exactly the same as those listed by the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss Palace in the Eternal Land.

"Within the Hengyuan Heavenly Realm, in any world, there may be black stones, or similar objects," the Ice Peak Ancestor ordered. "Everyone, first learn the secret techniques of exploration, then explore the billions of worlds around you, and then go explore the mysterious land."

Although the Hunyuan life forms can live in the Hunyuan Space, many of them dislike the dark environment of the Hunyuan Space and have therefore created their own worlds.

Some of the ancestors of the Hunyuan clan would also build worlds specifically for their people, allowing them to live within them. (End of Chapter)
