Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

“Ancestor Ice Peak, although our entire Ice Peak faction has created tens of millions of worlds, the number of Origin Worlds is even greater.” Ancestor Wugu suddenly spoke up, “We abandoned the Origin Worlds before, partly because of our defeat, but the most fundamental reason was that the Origin Worlds were not very useful to us. But now, since black stones can also be found in the Origin Worlds, their significance to us is very different.”

The Source World is not important to the Ice Peak faction, but the black stones that may exist within the Source World are extremely important.

Moreover, among the naturally born worlds within the Hengyuan Celestial Realm, the Origin Worlds are the most numerous.

“How can we give up now!” the progenitor Wugu continued.

“I’m not reconciled,” ’Hai’ also spoke up.

"Ancestor Wugu, do you intend to reignite the great war!" said the God of Light. "Aren't you afraid that you, like the Infinite Serpent, will be hunted down to annihilation by Lord Xiao Yu? If you are driven to annihilation, you probably won't have the resources of the Infinite Serpent to regain consciousness so quickly!"

Even the immortal and indestructible eternal ancestral gods fear the annihilation of their souls.

“Afraid! Afraid?” Ancestor Wugu looked angrily at Ancestor Guangzu. “Not everyone is as cowardly as you, becoming timid and fearful after being defeated once.”

The Eternal Ancestral Gods of the Ice Peak Faction were discussing and arguing amongst themselves. The Eternal Ancestral Gods, led by the Primordial Ancestor Wugu, the Sea, the Wind, and the Thunder, were all unwilling to give up the Blue Ocean of the Source World, while the Eternal Ancestral Gods, led by the Ancestral God of Light, were more cautious and unwilling to offend Lord Xiao Yu again because of the black stone.

"Alright." The Ice Peak Ancestor glanced at the group of ancestors around him. When the Eternal Ancestral Gods, including the Wugu Ancestor, saw the Ice Peak Ancestor's cold gaze, they all immediately fell silent.

"With our current strength, it's naturally not good to offend the cultivation faction," the Ice Peak Ancestor continued. "If our Ice Peak faction can exchange for some powerful secret treasures, perhaps we still have a chance."

“Bingfeng is right. If we can exchange for a one-time treasure, even one that isn’t too high-level, even one at the level of a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God, it would probably make Xiao Yu wary. If we exchange for several, would we still need to fear the cultivation faction?” Ancestor Wugu nodded, very excited, as if it had already exchanged for a one-time treasure.

"If it's a one-time use treasure, then perhaps that's possible," said the Purple Glaze Ancestor. "But, since we can exchange for them, and we have cultivation factions from the Origin World, can't we exchange for even more?"

The founders of the Ice Peak faction suddenly became much quieter.

"Alright, each of you search the worlds and mysterious places within your territories, and collect black stones by all means possible," the Ice Peak Ancestor ordered.

"Yes."

The ancestors, including Guangzu God and Wugu Ancestor, responded, and then their clones dissipated one by one.

……

The naturally formed Hunyuan faction.

The mysterious land, the land of all origins.

This is a nascent mysterious place, located in the heart of the territory of the Natural Chaos faction. It has now been used as the meeting place for the Natural Chaos faction.

Within this mysterious land dwells the Myriad Origins Clan, a weak race within the naturally formed Hunyuan faction. The clan possesses only one Hunyuan Ancestor, and thus cannot defy the will of the five Eternal Ancestral Gods.

On the vast land shimmering with multicolored light, five towering figures stood there, and the rumbling sound transformed into powerful shockwaves that surged in all directions.

"Heavenly Fire, our chance has come!" The Infinite Serpent Ancestor's serpentine body swayed excitedly, each swaying sounding as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

"A one-time use treasure, and if I obtain another one-time use treasure, it might be possible to completely kill Xiao Yu." Wu was also looking forward to it.

“Last time, even when Tianhuo used a one-time use treasure, he still couldn’t kill the opponent.” Anonymous shook his head.

“Just because it didn’t work last time doesn’t mean it won’t work this time,” Tianhuo laughed. “Judging from the effects last time, the Forget-Worry Corridor is more effective against the soul. Lord Xiao Yu has a strong will and can withstand the Forget-Worry Corridor, but that doesn’t mean he can withstand the power of other one-time use treasures.”

There are also many types of one-time use treasures.

Some are like the Corridor of Forgetfulness, designed specifically for the soul, while others are one-time treasures containing various forces such as matter, thunder, time, destruction, and life.

The Eternal Land offers a wide variety of treasures for the Eternal Ancestral Gods to exchange.

"Just as Tianhuo said, Xiao Yu's greatest strength lies in the soul lineage. His soul power is terrifying; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill me to the point of annihilation," said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor, expressing both great fear and resentment.

The Origin World is one of the most valued resources for him, or rather, for the Infinite Serpent clan.

"Are you really willing to give up so many Origin Worlds! There are over ten trillion Origin Worlds. How many black stones can you find in them?" the Infinite Serpent Ancestor continued. "And how many treasures can these hundreds of millions of black stones be exchanged for?"

"With so many treasures, including powerful weapons and armor, which one isn't tempting enough?" said the Infinite Serpent Ancestor. "The Life God Fruit, the Destruction God Fruit, the Void Fruit, and other rare treasures can all evolve our life cores. If I could exchange for a hundred Void Fruits at once, I'm confident I could defeat Lord Xiao Yu without relying on one-time treasures."

The other four progenitors were also very much looking forward to it.

They each have their own ideal treasures and resources.

One-time use treasures are only those they need to fight against cultivation factions, while rare treasures such as the Life God Fruit, Destruction God Fruit, and Void Fruit are treasures that can transform their own strength.

……

After the Lord of Tianyuan Palace issued the mission, the cultivation faction, the ice peak faction, the innate chaotic origin faction, and other forces summoned their ancestors to collect the black stones with all their might.

The Ice Peak Faction, the Natural Chaos Faction, and other forces also felt that this was a rare opportunity.

All factions are focusing their efforts on collecting the black stones.

Fire Dragon Origin World.

This is an oval-shaped source world, resembling a duck egg, slightly larger than the previous source world. The structure within this source world is: ten thousand primordial universes – the Chaos Sea – three thousand continents.

Within the Origin World, an avatar of Xiao Yu descended upon one of the continents, transforming into a Chaos Ruler skilled in weapon crafting, 'Great Sage Xiao,' and residing in one of the giant cities.

"Jingle bells~"

Various refining materials are being hammered and refined by tools of various shapes under Xiao Yu's power, turning into components of secret treasures.

"The three of you are the strongest beings in this era of the Fire Dragon Origin World, and the most likely to transcend the shackles. Since you are interested in the way of weapon crafting, study it seriously. The most important thing in the way of weapon crafting is passion. Only by being loyal to weapon crafting with utmost sincerity can you possibly succeed on this path..." Xiao Yu explained the way of weapon crafting while demonstrating the crafting process.

Although he did not transcend the limitations of weapon crafting through his own methods, his level of understanding naturally allowed him to deduce all the possibilities of weapon crafting.

Beside him were three Chaos Sovereign apprentices, watching intently as Xiao Yu made every move and observed every key aspect of the divine power circulating within his body.

Xiao Yu left an avatar behind to teach the three strongest beings in the Fire Dragon Origin World before leaving the continent.

The Chaotic Sea.

Xiao Yu's eyes looked into the depths of the Chaos Sea, into the endless depths of the Chaos Sea, into the depths of endless time and space, where the origin of the Fire Dragon Origin World was hidden.

Xiao Yu's gaze pierced through endless space and time, landing on an inconspicuous blood-red stone in the vast and boundless origin of the Origin Land. It was drifting with the vast origin, slowly absorbing energy as it flowed.

It absorbs energy very slowly, so much so that even an Eternal Ancestral God cannot detect this change.

However, Xiao Yu noticed the abnormality at a glance and could see through the essence of the blood-red stone. The blood-red stone contained an incomparably terrifying vitality.

"That's it."

Xiao Yu was absolutely certain that this was the 'black stone' he was looking for.

Although its color is blood red, its essence is no different from that of a black stone.

"There is only one 'black stone' in the entire Fire Dragon Origin World, right here in this primordial land." Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and then, with a thought, an invisible force permeated into the primordial land, transforming into an invisible hand that grasped the blood-red stone. As the invisible hand grasped the blood-red stone, an invisible force enveloped it, completely sealing it off.

"receive."

An invisible hand grasped the sealed crimson stone and returned it to Xiao Yu's side. The completely dark crimson stone slowly fell into Xiao Yu's hand.

……

Within a ruined source world that is being restored.

The chaotic spacetime is slowly being repaired, and the shattered fragments of the continent are being gradually pieced together under the operating rules of the source world.

In the chaotic void.

An entity exuding the aura of a god-king slowly surveyed this primordial world.

That figure was none other than Xiao Yu.

It is precisely because this source world is already damaged, its operating rules are incomplete, and its suppressive power is almost non-existent.

"There's actually a 'black stone' in this source world, which is actually shaped like a piece of gray wood." Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible force carried the sealed gray wood to his palm.

The piece of gray wood was very ordinary in shape, like a piece of rotten wood.

“If it were any other lord, even with their detection techniques, they probably wouldn’t have noticed this piece of rotten wood!” Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

He is a three-step Eternal Ancestral God, so he can naturally see through the disguise of the 'black stone'. However, if it were other lords, they might not pay attention even if they discovered it because of the misleading information about the 'black stone' from the Heavenly Abyss Palace Master.

"I need to tell the other lords this message." With a thought, Xiao Yu transmitted his voice to his fellow lords.

……

In a dark and gloomy world.

Following the guidance of the exploration technique, Lord Naigu arrived at a desolate plain, where patches of withered grass, several meters tall, covered the gray earth.

"The exploration technique led me here, but there's only withered grass and no black stones at all," Lord Naigu said, quite frustrated.

"Oh?"

"Lord Xiao Yu?"

Suddenly, Naigu had a thought and received a telepathic message from Lord Xiao Yu.

"Brother Xiao Yu, what is it?" Lord Naigu asked telepathically.

"Naigu, I've just made some new discoveries," Xiao Yu transmitted to his companions.

"What discovery?" One of Jin's clones, who was using a secret exploration technique within a golden source world, asked telepathically.

“The black stones are very good at disguising themselves. They not only have the form of black stones, but also appear as blood-red stones, gold stones, blue stones, purple stones, and multicolored stones,” Xiao Yu transmitted his voice. “Moreover, they do not only exist in the form of stones. I just discovered ‘black stones’ in various forms such as rotten wood, energy crystals, liquid water, gaseous objects, flames, and lightning. All of these forms of ‘black stones’ contain terrifying vitality.”

"I see. I just used a detection technique in a source world and pointed to a patch of withered grass. I thought the technique had failed me," Lord Naigu transmitted his voice.

"I also discovered that a secret technique had guided me to a forest, but since I didn't find any stone-shaped objects, I left." Minghuang dared not make a mistake.

She had just left the Source World when she immediately turned back.

With her energy reserves, she can at most maintain ten clones to perform detection techniques.

"Haha, thank you so much, Xiao Yu. Without your reminder, I might have missed a lot," Xingmang laughed heartily.

Thank you.

Lords such as Yuan, Wulan, Moman, and Luofeng also expressed their sincere gratitude.

Within the shadowy world.

Lord Naigu hurriedly touched the withered grass around him, feeling each blade of grass as he went. The detection technique could only lock onto a general target, and its accuracy was not very high.

Once we arrived at this barren wasteland, we could no longer find precise directions.

Lord Naigu could only touch every withered blade of grass within his sight, searching slowly.

After touching tens of millions of withered grasses, a discovery was finally made.

"Found it." When Lord Naigu touched a small, withered blade of grass, he immediately felt a terrifying vitality, and there was also a terrifying suction force coming from it.

Lord Naigu's heart stirred, and an invisible force immediately enveloped the withered grass, sealing it off. The withered grass instantly turned even more yellow and withered, just like a real withered grass.

Lord Naigu put away the withered grass and used his exploration technique again.

“That’s it. There’s only this one ‘black stone’ in this source world.” Lord Naigu was very pleased.

……

Leilong Territory.

"Haha, another black stone." Minghuang transformed into a bolt of lightning, leaving a vast source world and swiftly traversing a great distance to arrive at an adjacent source world.

A bolt of lightning left her body and then penetrated into the source world. Immediately afterwards, Minghuang fled again towards the nearest source world.

"One, two, three... ten... a hundred..."

"Ha ha!"

As time went by, Minghuang found more and more black stones, and she became more and more excited and happy.

Minghuang searched through the source worlds one by one, but she didn't find anything in every one of them. However, with Xiao Yu's reminder, her speed of obtaining 'black stones' increased significantly.

……

Hometown, original world.

On a vast continent ten thousand times larger than the Origin Continent, Xiao Yu stood in the starry sky, looking down at the vast continent below. His gaze pierced through the thick continent and landed on a mysterious place deep in the earth.

That place is the very origin of our home world.

"I didn't expect there to be a black stone here." With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu summoned the Origin World Source, which transformed into an invisible hand that sealed the black stone and transferred it to Xiao Yu's hand.

Xiao Yu waved his hand, and the black stone was put away. (End of Chapter)
