Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

The nine lords celebrated lavishly in the original land, and at the same time, the joy of this great harvest was also passed on to the lower-level Chaos Origin beings and the younger generation of cultivators in the cultivation camp through rewards.

Almost every God Emperor cultivator, every high-level Chaos Origin, and every world-class Chaos Origin received generous rewards, enough for them to cultivate for millions of epochs.

However, the rewards given to them were not even worth a single merit in the eyes of the nine lords, including Xiao Yu, Yuan, and Luo Feng.

The banquet has ended.

The nine avatars of the lords departed one after another, with Xingmang and Xiao Yu lagging behind.

"Xiao Yu." A voice rang out.

“Starlight.” Xiao Yu looked at the starlight.

"After this banquet, I'll have to continue working on the basic construction of the spacetime teleportation channel, as well as exploring the ordinary worlds and mysterious places within my territory. I'll probably be busy for tens of millions of epochs. And I have a feeling that if I miss this opportunity, it might be difficult to go there again," Starlight said with a smile. "I mentioned before that I needed your help to accompany me to a mysterious place. Do you have time now?"

A long time ago, Xingmang did talk to Xiao Yu about this.

"I have time," Xiao Yu said with a smile. Although he wanted to pass the final trial, he wasn't in a hurry.

"Let's go." Xingmang nodded and immediately left with Xiao Yu.

The starlight carried Xiao Yu, seemingly detached from the normal chaotic spacetime, walking on a high-dimensional map, crossing one territory after another.

"arrive?"

Xiao Yu discovered that the starlight was carrying him rapidly into the deepest part of spacetime. As the two continued to fall, spacetime was constantly distorted.

"I'll be there soon." Xingmang smiled.

The curvature of the surroundings was constantly distorting, exceeding the scope that a first-step Eternal Ancestral God could perceive. Even a second-step Eternal Ancestral God could only vaguely perceive it. Moreover, the degree of distortion was constantly increasing, and the two lords were falling continuously.

Finally, Xiao Yu and his group entered a hidden and special space-time.

"Huh?" Xiao Yu looked at the space-time before him in surprise.

Although he could see the entire Hengyuan Heaven Realm, he could not see every part of it. This was the first time he had ever seen such a sight.

Before us lies a time-space corridor, unlike the Time Corridor, at the end of which stands a majestic altar.

"This is the mysterious 'Record Corridor'." Starlight stood in the corridor, looking out at the outside world.

"Record the corridor?"

Xiao Yu also looked out.

Standing in the Recording Corridor and looking out, the entire Hengyuan Heavenly Realm has shrunk countless times to become a huge sphere, and the Recording Corridor is one of the thirty-six centers of this huge sphere.

A sphere in the ordinary three-dimensional world has only one center, but the multi-dimensional sphere of Hengyuan Celestial Realm has a total of thirty-six centers.

The positions of the centers of these thirty-six balls are at the same level.

Xiao Yu could see the positions of all thirty-six balls, and each position contained a mysterious place.

The Abyss of Destruction, the Land of Eternity, the Valley of the Origin God, the Chaotic Fire Domain, the Thunder Ancestral Tree, the Shadow of the Black King, the Origin Fire Flow Region, the Corridor of Ten Thousand Spacetimes, the Scroll Gallery, the Abyss of World Reincarnation, the Sky and Space Time Boundary, the Black Swamp Sea, the Shadow of the Origin Point, the Wall of the Fire Prison, and many other mysterious places are all located at the center of the sphere.

“Standing in the recording corridor, the entire Hengyuan Heaven Realm is laid out before you,” Xingmang laughed. “It feels like you’re standing on top of the whole Hengyuan Heaven Realm. It’s a magical feeling.”

“It’s truly amazing. The Hengyuan Heavenly Realm looks different from different angles,” Xiao Yu nodded.

He had viewed it from the perspective of fluctuations, from the perspective of the Abyss of Destruction, and even through his omniscient eye. Now, viewing it from the perspective of the Recording Corridor, it presented a completely different picture.

“Follow me.” Starlight walked along the corridor, saying as he went, “The Record Corridor, I named it that.”

"This name is very fitting." Xiao Yu looked at both sides of the corridor.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are a nearly tangible substance formed by the convergence and condensation of endless spacetime power. The walls are decorated with carvings that record many moments in the history of Hengyuan Heaven.

There are scenes of Sha Zhou and Bing Feng's birth, scenes of the battle of the Infinite Serpent enveloping a world cluster, scenes of Luo Feng achieving Hunyuan, scenes of Fang Zheng exploring mysterious places, and scenes of Tian Huo holding a stone that emits dazzling light...

“This is the past of Hengyuan Heavenly Realm,” Xingmang said. “This corridor records all the meaningful scenes in the entire Hengyuan Heavenly Realm.”

The corridor was very long, even for a lord, much longer than the diameter of a world group.

Xiao Yu nodded as he walked down the corridor, looking at the scenes engraved on the walls on both sides. Each of the nine lords of the cultivation camp had a moment recorded in the corridor.

Their birth, breakthroughs at key moments, opportunities, transformations, and so on.

All thirty-three immortal beings in the Eternal Land have their moments recorded, as well as scenes of many other unfamiliar beings.

Among them is the Black Flame Dance.

Xiao Yu understood that those unfamiliar beings were some immortal beings within the territories of the Black King's Shadow and the Source God Ancestral Sect.

However, Mo Xing, a terrifyingly powerful figure who also belonged to the Black King's Shadow, was not recorded at all. In addition, none of the nine Palace Masters of the Eternal Land were recorded either.

All the scenes only record the powerful beings born in this era of annihilation and reincarnation.

Near the end of the corridor, Xiao Yu saw his own sculptures. Each sculpture depicted his birth, growth, life, learning, cultivation, battles, apprenticeship, ascension, and transcendence. Each scene was crucial to him. The last sculpture depicted the scene of his recent attainment of the fourth step of Eternal Ancestral God and the suppression of the Eternal Land with his power.

The last scene at the end of the corridor depicts the nine lords battling against the Natural Chaos Origin Faction and the Ice Peak Faction. Among them, Xiao Yu defeats dozens of ancestors with a single strike, leaving hundreds of ancestors terrified.

At the end of the corridor was an altar.

The altar was majestic, shrouded in layers of illusory shadows, making it difficult to see inside. Occasionally, images would flash across these layers of shadows.

"This phantom image?" Xiao Yu was very surprised.

Although the scene flashed by in an instant, he had already seen all the contents of the scene. The scene showed Sha Zhou in the mysterious place 'Tonggu Land', where the endless power of Tonggu Land gathered around her and was completely under her control.

"Will the sand boat be able to refine the 'Tonggu Land' in the future?" Xiao Yu could naturally see the significance of this scene.

"The future holds countless possibilities, and this is just one of them," Starlight said with a smile, unconcerned. "The further into the future we go, the more possibilities there are, and the more variables there are as well."

Xiao Yu nodded.

He naturally knew that if there were dozens of possibilities for the future one epoch, then there could be thousands or tens of thousands for the future a hundred epochs later, and perhaps a hundred trillion possibilities, or even more, for the future a million epochs later. The further into the future, the more exponentially the possibilities would increase.

This is just a simple example. In reality, the future evolution is much more complex. Even Xiao Yu, who is already a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God and is skilled in the Dao of Time and Space, cannot explore the far future.

“The present is set, but the future is uncertain,” Xingmang said. “The scene that appears here, with Shazhou controlling Tonggu, is probably just one of countless possibilities in the future, perhaps billions of years from now.” “Hmm,” Xiao Yu replied knowingly.

To glimpse the future, one must consider probabilities.

It requires repeated observation, countless observations. If you see the same future time and time again, be careful, because there is a high chance that this future will become reality.

"call!"

Xiao Yu saw another scene on the phantom image of the altar.

That was the true, enormous body formed by the Heavenly Fire Ancestor, whose size surpassed that of an ordinary second-step Eternal Ancestral God. The Heavenly Fire Domain naturally formed around him, covering a vast expanse of space and time, its scope exceeding that of a world cluster.

"The Primordial Ancestor of Heavenly Fire?" Xingmang looked at him solemnly. "An immortal being, the longer it lives, the more likely it is to emerge as a powerful being in the future."

Such a powerful future, if it only occurs once or twice, is actually not very significant.

It only deserves attention if it appears repeatedly.

"call!"

Another scene flashed by.

Xiao Yu saw that this was the 'Infinite Serpent Ancestor', whose true body was incredibly enormous, as majestic as a world cluster.

Such a massive body is simply unbelievable.

"Starlight, what important future have you seen here, appearing time and time again?" Xiao Yu asked.

The Starlight Discovery Corridor has been around for a long time.

Starlight paused for a moment, then said, "I have seen a future that has appeared many times. It is a crisis for our cultivation camp, and also a crisis for the Hengyuan Heavenly Realm."

"A Devouring Beast?" Xiao Yu pressed.

“No,” Starlight shook his head and said, “It’s Naigu, he is the source of this crisis.”

"How is that possible?" Xiao Yu frowned. "He is wholeheartedly devoted to the cultivation faction."

“Naigu is destined to follow the path of the Heart-Severing Technique in the future. Through long years of cultivation, he has fused with too many ancestral bloodlines, and only this path is suitable for him,” Xingmang said. “The number of ancestral bloodlines he refines and controls is increasing, from twenty to thirty. The residual consciousness within each ancestral bloodline will remain in his body as a sub-consciousness. When dozens of ancestral bloodline consciousnesses affect him at the same time, his main consciousness will also be affected by this collective consciousness, and he may even eventually fall into madness.”

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback.

He naturally knew this, and he had foreseen this future before, which was why he reminded Naigu to pay more attention to tempering his mind and will.

Even after the trials of the Demon Hall, could Naigu's willpower still be unable to hold up?

"Of course, these are the futures that Lord Xiao Yu saw before you appeared," Starlight continued. "Since you became the lord, everything in the future has changed. But there are still some possibilities: Naigu's situation will not only not improve, but will become even more insane and stronger."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yu was taken aback, but then he understood.

He killed too many progenitors, and the cultivation camp obtained too many progenitor corpses. Naturally, Naigu could extract as many as a hundred progenitor bloodlines.

If refining dozens of ancestral bloodlines in the past would have driven him to madness, then in the future, Naigu might refine and fuse over a hundred ancestral bloodlines, and the effects would be even more profound. Similarly, because he would refine more ancestral bloodlines, Naigu's strength would also become even greater.

"It's hard to imagine what level Naigu will reach after refining a hundred portions of the ancestral bloodline," Xiao Yu said.

“Is he a sixth-step Eternal Ancestral God or a seventh-step Eternal Ancestral God? It’s hard to imagine,” Xingmang said. “However, neither of them can compare to you, Xiao Yu. Naigu’s power and madness are at least one possibility in the future, and it is still unknown whether it will happen. But you, Brother Xiao Yu, will surely take control of the Abyss of Destruction.”

Although the starlight could no longer glimpse Xiao Yu's future timeline, the phantom of the altar repeatedly showed images of Xiao Yu wielding the endless terrifying power of the Abyss of Destruction.

“Even if Nagu becomes a threat in the future, I believe that you, who wield the Abyss of Destruction, still have the power to suppress him,” Starlight said.

Xiao Yu nodded. Taking control of the Abyss of Destruction would not only amplify his strength but also give him a deeper understanding of the Dao of Destruction.

"Can I see myself through the phantoms?" Xiao Yu asked, looking at the many phantoms in the altar.

“Based on my long experience of observation, the future depicted in the altar's phantom will never allow one to see oneself,” Starlight said.

Xiao Yu didn't care too much. He was very confident in himself. Not to mention having the legacy of Elder Meng, he was confident that he could enter the core of the Eternal Land before the Great Annihilation.

Even if one cannot achieve the Seven-Step Eternal Ancestral God level before the Great Annihilation, there is still hope of breaking through to the Five-Step Eternal Ancestral God level.

"Xiao Yu, I need your help to open the altar through the phantom," Xingmang said.

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded.

As Xingmang gazed at the altar, his entire body surged with energy. Instantly, his main battle avatar ignited, unleashing a torrent of power that surged into the altar, permeating the layers of illusory figures and beginning to influence and alter them.

"To find the origin of the Recording Corridor, we must first open the altar." Xiao Yu also understood that the most mysterious place in the entire Recording Corridor was the altar. Only by opening the altar could we possibly delve deeper into the Recording Corridor.

After all, the Abyss of Destruction, which is also a mysterious place of the highest level, is divided into the surface Destruction World, the inner Destruction Lake, and the core Destruction Mountain.

Recording the corridor is no simple task either.

This corridor merely records the most superficial layer of the world within it.

To delve deeper into the corridor, one must open the altar, which may hold the secrets to a more mysterious place.

Xiao Yu immediately transferred his energy to Xingmang, replenishing Xingmang's energy consumption and allowing him to maintain the ultimate burning main battle clone effect.

With Xiao Yu's ability to replenish energy, the effect was significantly better. In just a short while, it was equivalent to burning the energy of thousands of main battle clones. After the energy was consumed, Xingmang finally opened the altar.

The moment the altar's illusory image separated, Xiao Yu saw a book floating in the center of the altar.

"call!"

The starlight immediately split into a clone and entered the altar. Xiao Yu could see that the starlight clone was absorbed into the book after approaching it.

The altar then returned to its closed state, shrouded in numerous illusory shadows.

“My clone has entered the core of the altar and can stay there for a long time until I pass all the trials.” Starlight smiled at Xiao Yu. “Thanks.”

"Those books?" Xiao Yu looked at Xingmang.

"That is the manifestation of the origin of the mysterious 'Record Corridor'," Starlight laughed. "I never expected to find the origin of the Record Corridor so easily." (End of Chapter)
