Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

The original land.

Council Hall.

On the dark crystal throne, the nine avatars of the lords took their seats.

"I just received Brother Xiao Yu's good news," Lord Moman said with a smile. "I couldn't wait to come over."

"Hahahaha." Wu Lan laughed loudly, his laughter booming and shaking the heavens and earth. "In just one era, he explored all the source worlds. If I were to explore them myself, it would probably take millions of eras, or even millions of eras, and he might not be able to complete it."

In about a century, Xiao Yu's countless clones had completed the exploration of all the source worlds within the entire Eternal Land and collected a large number of black stones.

"I have fulfilled my mission." Xiao Yu nodded slightly.

“It seems that they called us here this time to divide the spoils of war.” Yuan was also very happy. “I’ve been eyeing them for a while. I was looking at the treasures on that list, but I didn’t have enough merit to redeem them. I was also worried that the treasures I wanted would be redeemed by the Primordial Ancestors in advance.”

"Yes, I can't wait any longer." Naigu was a little anxious. His recent seclusion had not gone smoothly, and his temperament had changed quite a bit.

Luo Feng was also looking forward to it, after all, it was a reward of tens of millions of merits, but he also noticed Naigu's problem and asked with some concern, "Naigu, are you okay?"

The lords all know about Lord Naigu's situation. As more and more ancestral bloodlines are merged, Lord Naigu is affected more and more. Now, even Naigu's mental will has been affected.

To avoid losing his composure, Naigu chose to go into seclusion, but it seems that the effect is not good.

Xiao Yu, Xing Mang, and their companions all looked at Naigu with concern.

"It's nothing, just a small problem. As long as there's merit involved, it can be resolved," Lord Naigu said, shaking his head.

"It's good that it can be resolved. If there's anything we can help with, we'll do our best to help," Yuan said.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Lord Naigu said with a wry smile, then looked at Xiao Yu after a moment of silence. "I'm very eager to know how the harvest was this time."

"Xiao Yu, tell us, how was everyone's harvest this time?" Xingmang asked.

"Alright, then I'll give a brief report on everyone's progress." Xiao Yu nodded and smiled.

"A report? So formal!" Yuan laughed.

"Hahaha." Xiao Yu also laughed heartily, "Let me just give you a brief overview. In this era, I have explored all the source worlds within the territories of Xingmang, Yuan, Naigu, Moman, Minghuang, Luofeng, Wulan, and Jin, plus the source worlds outside the territories under your jurisdiction, totaling more than 86.35 trillion source worlds."

"Of the 86.35 trillion Origin Worlds, we obtained a total of 6908254961108 Black Stones," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Not every source world is born with black stones. Most source worlds are occupied by naturally occurring chaotic life forms that devour the source world's origin, leaving many source worlds incomplete and damaged.

The more incomplete the source world, the lower the probability of finding black stones.

Even so, the probability of finding black stones in all these source worlds is still as high as 80%, which is almost the same as the proportion Xiao Yu explored before.

"Over 6.9 trillion! There are so many!" Jin was very surprised.

"If this were converted into merit, it would be over 600 million. Even if half of it were given to Brother Xiao Yu and then divided among the eight of us, each of us would still receive 40 to 50 million merit. So how should we exchange all this merit for something?" Jin laughed wildly.

He also had avatars residing in the Eternal Land, and naturally heard some news. In this century, the ancestors did not gain much.

In order to enable countless lower-level Hunyuan beings in their tribe to live, the Hunyuan ancestors also created some worlds. However, the Hunyuan ancestors always believed in the natural selection of the survival of the fittest.

They only care about those with talent when it comes to lower-level Chaos Origin life forms, so the number of worlds they build is far less than that of the cultivation faction.

Moreover, the probability of finding 'black stones' in these constructed worlds is ridiculously low.

“I’ve heard that the ancestor Fang Zheng only found three black stones in a whole century,” Jin said with a smile.

Exploring mysterious places is far more difficult than exploring the source world, especially since some mysterious places also contain unknown dangers.

Kim was gloating.

The lords, including Xiao Yu, were happy with this arrangement.

This is a long time.

The more they gain from their cultivation camp, the faster their strength will naturally improve in the future, which is a good thing!
"I'll continue," Xiao Yu said. "Of the 6908254961108 black stones, according to the previous agreement, 3454127480554 will be mine. The remaining black stones will be distributed among you according to the number of black stones you have found in your respective territories."

As he spoke, a pile of countless black stones suddenly appeared in the void. The various kinds of black stones piled together were more vast than mountains and as majestic as a source world.

These black stones, though called black stones, come in a variety of colors, including silver-white, black, dark green, earthy yellow, golden blue, and more... a whole range of strange and wonderful colors.

Their shapes are also incredibly diverse. Some resemble a piece of dead wood, some a newly sprouted blade of grass, some a star, some a wisp of flame, some a vast lake, some thunder, and some the nascent form of an invisible and colorless world...

Color and shape cannot define a 'black stone'; only vitality, regardless of color or shape, contains endless vitality in every 'black stone'.

These more than three trillion 'black stones' have undoubtedly not yet been conceived into Devouring Beasts.

"There wasn't even a single Devouring Beast," Wu Lan said, a mixture of relief and regret.

"Minute."

With a thought, Xiao Yu instantly split the vast 'black stone' mountain range in two, one of which then split into eight parts that flew toward the eight lords, including Xingmang, Yuan, and Luofeng.

In an instant, a vast expanse of black stones, resembling a towering mountain, appeared before the eight lords, including Luo Feng, Yuan, and Xing Mang.

"A whopping 4308 billion!" Minghuang was overjoyed. "Last time, without Brother Xiao Yu's help, I wouldn't have been able to successfully refine a mid-level mysterious land; this time he helped me gain over 43 million merits. I am extremely grateful, and I will do anything for you in the future!"

"Haha, Minghuang, you're being too polite! We're companions, helping each other is only natural." Xiao Yu waved his hand and handed Minghuang a cup of fine wine to calm her down.

Minghuang picked up the blue wine glass that suddenly appeared in front of her. A pool of purple-gold liquid swirled in the glass, radiating a mesmerizing glow.

Within the mesmerizing light, countless secret patterns flowed faintly, and various unique Dao essences emerged and flowed. The Dao essences were so alluring that Minghuang couldn't help but absorb them.

A cup of purple-gold liquid, seemingly unremarkable, was like a vast ocean within the source world, and she drank it all in one gulp.

"What a fine wine! The taste is wonderful!" Minghuang exclaimed. She could feel her body undergoing incredible changes as soon as the wine entered her body. She couldn't help but ask, "What kind of wine is this? It can make my internal energy surge!"

"Really?" Moman was also surprised.

He, along with Minghuang and Jin, could be said to have the lowest energy reserves among the nine lords of the cultivation camp. "Really," Minghuang said, "In just this short while, the energy in my body has doubled, and I haven't felt the slightest bit of burden. My attacks, movements, and agility haven't been affected at all!"

Most lords, like Minghuang, Jin, and Wulan, are unable to excel in all aspects of their abilities, often only able to focus on one area at a time, such as killing enemies or protecting themselves.

This doesn't mean that Wu Lan's killing skills are weak, but rather that Wu Lan's internal energy is much greater, resulting in less agility and slower speed compared to Ming Huang and the others.

No matter how terrifying the attack power is, it cannot hit the target.

But now, there is actually a treasure that can increase Minghuang's physical energy reserves without restricting other aspects. This is too amazing!
"It's amazing!" Jin exclaimed in amazement, looking at Xiao Yu expectantly. "Quick, give me a drink too."

Lord Moman also looked at Xiao Yu with teary eyes, like a pet waiting to be fed by its master.

"Don't look at me like that. You all have some." Xiao Yu smiled and poured a glass of fine wine for each of his companions.

Jin picked up his glass and took a big gulp, finishing it in one go. He exclaimed, "It's so delicious! I've never tasted such a wonderful and magical wine before!"

"What is this wine made of?" Moman asked, sipping and savoring the taste. "What is it made of?"

"I can taste the flavors of several progenitors in it, or more accurately, the flavors of the highest level of power possessed by the progenitors," Yuan said with a smile. He loved wine and could taste extremely subtle differences in the liquor.

"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded. "That's right. This wine was indeed brewed by me using the spoils I obtained before, along with many rare Hunyuan treasures."

"How many kinds of materials from the progenitor were used? I can taste eight or nine of them," Yuan asked.

“Ninety-nine kinds.” Xiao Yu smiled.

"Wow, this wine is incredibly valuable, perhaps even more so than a meritorious deed," Xingmang exclaimed. "Such fine wine is rare; I wonder when I'll be able to drink it again?"

“Using ninety-nine kinds of ancestral spirits to brew wine, even if it’s just a part of the body, even if some rare materials are used to reduce the blood energy, it can’t be reduced much. To reduce the blood energy contained in the wine to such a degree, it not only requires precious brewing secrets, but also at least a million epochs of time,” Lord Naigu said.

He has a deep understanding of the ancestral bloodline and is the most knowledgeable among the nine lords about how the ancestral body will change under various conditions over time.

“You actually used the Time Corridor to brew wine,” Nagu said.

"I just do whatever I feel like during my free time." Xiao Yu nodded. He simply placed the brewed wine he carried with him in his cave while he was cultivating, letting the wine go through the test of time with him.

"Today is truly a joyous day. Brother Xiao Yu not only helped me obtain the 'Black Stone' worth over 41 million merits, but also treated me to such precious wine." Naigu looked at Xiao Yu and sincerely thanked him.

He had already put away the vast 'black stone' in the void in front of him.

"It also helped me gain over 43 million merits." Jin had already put away the 'Black Stone' mountain range.

“My ‘black stone’ is worth 43.21 million merit points,” Moman said, looking at Xiao Yu.

“My merits are worth over 44.1 million,” Xingmang also spoke up.

"I never expected that my third brother would give me 43.23 million merits so soon after I became a lord." Luo Feng sipped his wine and made a rare joke.

“I also have over 43.3 million merits,” Wu Lan said with a smile. “I really didn’t expect it to be so many.”

"It seems that among you all, I have the most black stones, worth over 44.3 million." Yuan was very happy, his floral jacket jiggling with his beer belly.

Xiao Yu put away the 'black stone' in front of him. He secretly calculated his merits. He had gained 3454127480554 black stones by helping his companions. In addition, he had also gained 8584 black stones by exploring the mysterious places in the territory. These black stones could be exchanged for 345412749 merit points.

In the Eternal Land, after the last treasure exchange, there are still 2356855 merits left, which means there are a total of 347769604 merits available.

"More than 300 million merits may be a lot for the Ancestor, but for me, it's not enough," Xiao Yu thought to himself.

More than 300 million merits can be exchanged for many precious treasures at the level of a sixth-step eternal ancestral god, but not even the lowest-level treasures at the level of a seventh-step eternal ancestral god.

Xiao Yu wanted to exchange for a legacy book at the level of a seventh-step Eternal Ancestral God, but his merits were far from sufficient.

"Brother Xiao Yu, I just sensed that your clone in the Hunyuan Space is radiating a vast aura. Has your cultivation improved again?" Xingmang looked at Xiao Yu.

Since Xiao Yu took control of a portion of the Abyss of Destruction's power, he has been unable to probe the other party's timeline.

“Indeed, not long ago, I gained some insights during my seclusion in the Time Corridor.” Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.

“Previously, Brother Xiao Yu’s cultivation level had already reached the limit of the third step of Eternal Ancestral God. Now that it has improved again, could it be that he has already reached the level of the fourth step of Eternal Ancestral God?” Minghuang looked at Xiao Yu with her beautiful eyes.

"No way."

"So this is the fourth step of the Eternal Ancestral God?"

"I'm not even a first-stage Eternal Ancestral God yet."

"They're both cultivators, so how come there's such a big difference between them?"

Lords such as Luo Feng, Mo Man, Jin, and Naigu were all extremely shocked.

“Yes, I’ve already reached the fourth step of Eternal Ancestral God.” Xiao Yu nodded in acknowledgment.

He had nothing to hide about his cultivation level.

Within this Hengyuan Heavenly Realm, there are few things that can frighten him anymore.

The only thing that could truly frighten Xiao Yu was the Seven-Step Eternal Ancestral God, who was at the very top of the three major powers. Even if it were a Six-Step Eternal Ancestral God, he wouldn't be afraid.

Because only the Seven-Step Eternal Ancestral God can completely kill him.

"This is truly a joyous occasion." Yuan was delighted; he was happy that every lord in the cultivation camp had become stronger.

“Such a joyous occasion must be celebrated in a grand way.” Jin was also very happy. “This joy should be spread throughout the entire cultivation community.”

"Mm." Xiao Yu nodded.

His improvement in strength is great news for the entire cultivation community and deserves a grand celebration.

Moreover, the gains this time were truly substantial, very rewarding for every lord in the cultivation camp. Lords like Luo Feng, Yuan, and Xing Mang were all very pleased. (End of Chapter)
