Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

"In three hundred days, my many clones searched through all 1.5 trillion source worlds within the territory. Each source world possessed at most one black stone, and in total, I obtained more than 1.2 trillion black stones from the 1.5 trillion source worlds," Xiao Yu thought to himself.

Xiao Yu is at the limit of the third step of the Eternal Ancestral God, with an energy reserve of up to ten trillion units. With his current energy reserve, even if each of his clones in each Origin World has a Lord's energy reserve, it would only cost him a little over 1.5 trillion units.

Such a vast energy reserve is enough to give each avatar the strength of a lord, and to enable them to search for the black stone on their own.

However, it is no easy task to simultaneously control each clone to give it the strength of a lord and the exquisite control over that lord's power.

The mental energy required is enormous, and even Xiao Yu would find it difficult to accomplish, especially since these clones are separated within nearly half of the Hengyuan Heaven Realm, with each clone spanning a vast distance.

Such extensive and dispersed control requires even greater mental exertion.

Therefore, it took three hundred days to search all the source worlds within the territory and gather all the 'black stones' onto the main battle clone.

“Other source worlds only have one ‘black stone’ at most, and about one-fifth of these source worlds don’t have any ‘black stones’ at all, yet I obtained two ‘black stones’ from my hometown source world.” Xiao Yu was very puzzled.

He had previously obtained a 'black stone' from the Origin World, and when he transcended the Cage, he also took it with him from the Origin World.

Unexpectedly, another one has been discovered now.

"What's different about this Origin World? Or is it because of the black stone itself?" Xiao Yu wondered, but then he thought, "Perhaps because of me, the Origin World's origin is more vast and is no longer an ordinary Origin World, which is why it's different."

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since Xiao Yu became a lord.

The origin of the Origin World has become dozens of times more vast because of Xiao Yu, and it may become a mysterious place in the future.

If the Origin World becomes a mysterious place, once successful, it will be the most perfect mysterious place.

“The Origin Continent is now capable of supporting beings at the God Emperor level.” Xiao Yu knows everything about the Origin World. “Perhaps in the future, the Origin Continent will also be able to support Chaos Origin life. At that time, the Origin Continent can also be called a mysterious place, just like the Infinite World.”

Xiao Yu has high hopes for his hometown, Yuan World.

"Now that I've searched all the source worlds within my territory, the next step is to explore the mysterious lands." Xiao Yu also has a detailed plan for exploring the mysterious lands.

He has many avatars, each possessing terrifying power, making his exploration efficiency billions of times greater than that of other lords.

“The cultivation camp now possesses far too many source worlds. Even the fastest Starburst has only searched a thousand source worlds.” Xiao Yu looked at a certain place in the vast primordial space, where the power of spacetime was surging abnormally, and a powerful expert skilled in the power of spacetime was exploring source worlds one by one.

Mangshi World Group.

The starlight transformed into an invisible thread and departed from a vast source world, still clutching a rusty bronze key in his hand.

"I never expected that this key would actually be the 'black stone' we were looking for." Xingmang frowned. Despite Xiao Yu's earlier warning, he still hadn't expected that this 'black stone' would be so troublesome and so adept at disguise.

He found this bronze key in a battlefield ruin.

After entering the Mangshan Origin World, Xingmang used his exploration technique to find an ancient battlefield ruin. However, once he arrived at the ruin, the exploration technique no longer provided any more detailed guidance.

Starlight could only touch one item at a time. Fortunately, as a lord, he had countless avatars, which allowed him to find the key containing endless vitality within a day.

"what?"

Suddenly, Starlight sensed a gaze from a distant time and space, and his clones, who traveled through other timelines, also relayed messages from the future.

"I never imagined that in just three hundred days, I've only searched over 1,500 Origin Worlds, while Xiao Yu has already searched over 1.5 trillion Origin Worlds. That's an efficiency difference of at least a hundred million times." Xingmang praised slightly, "Truly worthy of being called Xiao Yu!"

The Primordial World.

This is the first Hunyuan World that Xiao Yu built.

The origin of this primordial world, after being absorbed and transformed over hundreds of thousands of epochs, is hundreds of times more vast than the original world, which has existed for a very long time.

A thought descended from Xiao Yu and quickly absorbed energy. In an instant, the energy reserves of this clone had reached twice that of a Lord.

"Before exploring this mysterious place, I need to see if there are 'black stones' within the holy realm I've built." Xiao Yu thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings.

His gaze pierced through layers of time and space, exploring every corner of the Primordial Chaos World.

Less than a breath.

Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze. In just a short time, he had already explored the entire Hunyuan World and found nothing.

Still feeling uneasy, Xiao Yu used his detection technique, but still found nothing.

“There are no ‘black stones’ in this chaotic world,” Xiao Yu concluded.

In the next instant, with a thought, Xiao Yu's clone energy within the billions of source worlds began to weaken rapidly, while the clones guarding each holy realm absorbed energy to restore their strength, until the clone energy reserves reached doubled before stopping.

Following this, Xiao Yu's clones explored every corner of the Holy Realm.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Xiao Yu frowned in deep thought, "There are hundreds of millions of holy realms within my territory, more than 90% of which I built myself. These holy realms are far more perfect than those built by Yuan before."

Within Xiao Yu's territory, there are approximately one hundred world clusters, which were originally guarded by Yuan. The holy realms within the territory were mostly built by Yuan himself.

After Xiao Yu took over the territory, he built some Hunyuan Worlds to replace them, but the original Holy Realm continued to operate.

“But I didn’t find a single ‘black stone’ in the Holy Realm I built, while ‘black stones’ were found in the more than 30,000 Holy Realms built over the long years before the Yuan Dynasty.” Xiao Yu was very surprised.

Just now, his many clones discovered about 3,400 'black stones' within the 35,000 holy realms. These black stones were of various shapes; some resembled a medicinal plant, some were like sand and gravel on a mountainside, some were as fine as quicksand, some were as large as stars, and some were as small as energy particles.

“The Primordial Chaos World I built is more perfect than the Holy Realm, but it was built in a shorter time. The Holy Realm built by Yuan, although not perfect, has the advantage of a long time; some parts of it have existed for hundreds of millions of epochs.” Xiao Yu had already made his judgment. “Whether the black stone was created or not has nothing to do with who built it, but is related to the age of the world.”

The longer a sacred realm has existed, the more likely it is to contain 'black stones'.

"It needs to be verified again." With a thought, countless thoughts descended upon the ordinary worlds within the world clusters.

These ordinary worlds were all built long ago, many of them by world-class or higher-level primordial beings.

Countless strands of thought absorbed energy in the Hunyuan Space to restore their strength, and the energy of their clones reached twice that of a Lord, entering the nearby ancient ordinary worlds.

Xiao Yu also made some discoveries within these ordinary worlds.

"The probability of a 'black stone' being born in an ancient holy realm is roughly one in ten, while the probability of a 'black stone' being born in an ordinary world that has also existed for a long time is only one in ten thousand." Xiao Yu had just found about thirty million 'black stones' in more than a hundred world clusters.

Although they are both 'black stones', the vitality contained within these 'black stones' is weaker than that of the 'black stones' from the Holy Realm. "This discovery should also be shared with my companions."

Xiao Yu immediately sent a telepathic message to the other eight lords, sharing his discovery with his companions.

The original land.

On the dark crystal chair, the nine avatars of the lords descended one after another due to Xiao Yu's telepathic transmission, discussing their respective discoveries.

"Five days ago, I found a pool of yellow liquid that looked like animal urine in a source world. I never expected it to be 'black stone'," Jin's voice boomed as he shared his unique discovery.

“What’s this?” Naigu shouted. “Three days ago, I found a piece of beast yellow inside a rhinoceros-horned beast, which turned out to be a ‘black stone’.”

The lords shared their amazing discoveries.

The way and location of the 'black stone' are very special, and all sorts of strange and unusual discoveries have been made.

Xiao Yu had experienced all of these things.

But he was already at the limit of the third step of the Eternal Ancestral God. He could be detected with just a glance from afar, and could be found easily without touching him.

However, for lords like Naigu, Moman, and Jin, they might miss it even with Xiao Yu's reminder if they didn't explore carefully.

"Thanks to Lord Xiao Yu's reminder, otherwise I would have missed out on 50% of the 130 black stones I obtained." Lord Moman looked at Xiao Yu gratefully.

"This is what I should do. We are comrades, there's no need for this." Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head.

"I didn't expect Brother Xiao Yu to have made another new discovery." Yuan smiled as he looked at Xiao Yu.

“Yes, there are also ‘black stones’ in the Holy Realm we built before! The number of ‘black stones’ contained there is actually one-tenth.” Lord Moman said in surprise.

Black stones can be exchanged for rare treasures, and you can never have too many.

"Even the ordinary worlds built by my juniors can give birth to 'black stones'!" Naigu was equally surprised. "How exactly did these black stones appear?"

"I don't know," Xiao Yu shook his head.

He also wanted to know the answer to this question.

“Perhaps these black stones were naturally formed in the Hengyuan Heavenly Realm. As long as there is a world containing origin, there is a certain probability of them being born,” Yuan Chuanyin said.

"If these 'black stones' can be formed naturally, even if we take them away, is it possible that 'black stones' will still be formed again in these source worlds in the future?" Moman raised a pointed question.

Yuan also thought of it, but dared not delve into it.

"Perhaps," Luo Feng said. "If it were truly useless, the Eternal Land wouldn't have issued such a mission."

“Perhaps the Eternal Land doesn’t want this era to end too soon,” Xiao Yu said. As a third-step Eternal Ancestral God, he had a deeper understanding of the operation of the Eternal Origin Heaven Realm.

He could foresee that once this crisis was resolved, Hengyuan Heavenly Realm would not face any further crises in the short term.

“Perhaps, within a source world, once a ‘black stone’ is pulled out, a second one will not be born, and even if one is, it may take a much longer time,” Xiao Yu continued.

He naturally also thought of the second 'black stone' discovered in the Origin World.

But he wasn't sure whether the second 'black stone' was already there, or whether it was formed later.

But regardless, an uncertain answer should be given to reassure the companions.

"Brother Xiao Yu is really fast. It hasn't been long, and you've already searched all the source worlds under your command." Xingmang said, changing the subject.

"what?"

"Xiao Yu has searched all the source worlds!"

"That's over 1.5 trillion Origin Worlds!"

"I have only explored three hundred source worlds."

"I have only explored more than 500 source worlds."

The lords Yuan, Moman, Luo Feng, Minghuang, Naigu, Jin, and Wulan were all shocked. Among the seven of them, Luo Feng had explored the most, having already explored 5,200 Origin Worlds. Wulan, who had explored the fewest, had only explored 280 Origin Worlds.

Lords can summon countless thoughts with a single thought, but casting detection spells requires a great deal of mental energy. Not every clone can cast detection spells.

With Minghuang's current strength, she can only maintain the state of ten clones simultaneously using the exploration technique.

Among the other seven lords, Luo Feng is the strongest. With his mental will, he can maintain three hundred clones simultaneously to perform the detection technique.

At their current pace of exploration, it would take hundreds of thousands of epochs to explore all the source worlds, even if they explored day and night without any other obstacles.

However, within their territory, there are still some mysterious places, numerous holy realms, and even more ordinary worlds, all of which need to be explored one by one, and the time required will be much longer.

“If in the future, when time is running out, we may need Brother Xiao Yu’s help.” The beautiful Minghuang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked at Xiao Yu.

"No problem," Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.

This was within his expectations.

"And don't forget me," Lord Moman added.

"Everyone, if you need any help, feel free to ask me." Xiao Yu smiled and nodded.

"Brother Xiao Yu, can you tell me how much you've gained?" Xingmang smiled as he looked at Xiao Yu. Although he could glimpse the future timeline and see that Xiao Yu had already explored all the source worlds, he could not see what Xiao Yu had gained.

Lords like Yuan and Luo Feng also looked at Xiao Yu with curiosity.

“More than 1.2 trillion black stones,” Xiao Yu laughed. “To be precise, it’s 1242,1685,55425.”

"There are so many!" Starlight exclaimed excitedly.

"Originally, I thought a one in ten thousand chance would be pretty good, but now, based on Xiao Yu's findings, the probability of black stones appearing in the Source World is roughly four in five." Minghuang was excited upon hearing the number. "So many black stones can be exchanged for quite a few treasures." (End of Chapter)
