Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

"Is Xiao Yu really in seclusion? Has nothing bad happened?" Cuiyu asked.

“Master is indeed in seclusion. This seclusion is crucial for Master and may take a long time,” the black-clad figure said respectfully. “Before going into seclusion, Master instructed his subordinates to treat the mistress well once she arrives.”

This black figure was a puppet specially crafted by Xiao Yu, and its strength was even greater than that of a world-class Hunyuan Great Perfection cultivator.

When Xiao Yu glimpsed the secrets of heaven, he made all the necessary arrangements.

Naturally, they will do everything possible to dispel any doubts that may arise regarding jade.

"Good, he's in seclusion, that's good." Cuiyu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to teleport back.

"Mistress, now that we've arrived at this primordial place, why not take a stroll around and enjoy yourself? After all, you've cultivated for quite some time; relaxing a bit might help you comprehend the Dao," the black-clad figure chuckled.

Although he is a puppet, he possesses considerable spirituality and his intelligence is comparable to that of ordinary world-class primordial beings.

"Okay, then once I've settled in, you can take me sightseeing." Cuiyu nodded in agreement; she also wanted to wander around and clear her head.

"Okay." The figure in black finally felt relieved.

Xiao Yu had previously instructed that if Cuiyu were to be teleported over, she must be kept there for at least a hundred epochs.

Because war is about to break out, the safest place is this original land.

Even if all 3,600 world clusters of the entire cultivation camp are occupied, with seven lords remaining, the Land of the Beginning is still the safest place.

Even if they are defeated, the seven lords can still take the original land and leave.

……

A dark and gloomy inner world.

Evil, sin, slaughter, and death constantly erode the seventeen-colored protective shield.

Invisible forces manifest in the world of the mind, displaying a variety of colors, making the world suddenly vibrant and colorful.

Those deadly souls also transformed into vivid worlds that collided with them.

Every world manifests endless sins, and the souls of countless beings endure unimaginable torment. The souls of these ordinary beings unleash unimaginable killing intent.

The sins released by countless beings who were not even apprentices after being subjected to unimaginable torture possessed an incredibly terrifying corrosive power.

"If it weren't for the protective shield formed by the power of the Dream Elder, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to withstand the soul erosion of any one of these worlds, let alone being enveloped by so many worlds at once," Xiao Yu sighed.

"call!"

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the distant space-time. This ripple instantly traversed the endless vibrant world. Everything in that vibrant world seemed to speed up a billion times, and the killing intent emanating from the endless living beings also increased countless times.

The ripples of spacetime passed through that vibrant world and crashed violently into the seventeen-colored protective shield, causing a ripple on its surface. Then, the world, whose power had increased countless times, also collided, causing the entire shield to tremble.

"This is a spacetime ripple, a terrifying ripple caused by the enormous difference in the flow of time between adjacent spacetimes. And the time difference of such a terrifying spacetime ripple must exceed trillions of times. And the killing intent generated by this world that has experienced trillions of times of time acceleration is so terrifying." Xiao Yu was secretly shocked.

The flow of time within the mental world is roughly 100,000 times that of the infinite primordial space. However, this flow of time is unstable; in some places, it can even be as much as trillions of trillions of times faster.

This enormous gap triggered ripples in spacetime, each containing terrifying energy.

These ripples in time and space are also one of the killers of the spiritual world.

Fortunately, he was protected by the power of the Dream Elder, which allowed him to stay here safely.

Otherwise, the terrifying ripples in spacetime alone would have eroded a large amount of his soul power.

"According to Elder Meng, I need to comprehend the Soul Dao at the Hunyuan level in order to have the power to stay here safely," Xiao Yu thought. "And there may be many ways to comprehend the Soul Dao, such as separating a wisp of my soul and merging it into all living beings to experience the souls of all things."

"Or, one could become one with all things, live by the vision of all things, and thus comprehend the soul of all things, drawing more rules and mysteries from the soul of all things."

"Furthermore, one can comprehend the physical materials of the innate primordial life of the soul lineage, and through the mysterious rules manifested on the material treasures, comprehend the Dao of the soul."

"But now, none of that works."

Xiao Yu is currently trapped in the mental world and cannot leave. Naturally, he cannot obtain the physical materials of a naturally born primordial life form of the Soul Lineage, nor can he obtain the secret treasures containing the mysteries of the Soul Lineage's rules.

"What I can rely on now is this spiritual world." Xiao Yu looked up and around, and his spiritual world was filled with the aura of the soul.

He only needs to comprehend the aura of those soul lineages and glean the endless mysteries of the rules from them. He might even comprehend the Dao of the Soul and become the first being in the endless Chaotic Origin Space to create the Chaotic Origin Soul Dao.

"Perhaps, my being trapped here is truly my destiny," Xiao Yu thought to himself.

If he were in the outside world, there would be neither a world with time accelerated ten thousand times, nor a world filled with the aura of souls for him to comprehend.

Xiao Yu's gaze fell on the surrounding walls, and gradually, his mind seemed to merge with the walls, beginning his comprehension and cultivation.

The secret runes of the soul lineage, which are extremely rare to see even in the infinite primordial space, are indeed very common in this world of the mind, and each and every one of these secret runes is incredibly profound.

The world of the mind contains endless rules and secret patterns. The entire world seems to be composed of endless and mysterious rules and secret patterns. Everything here, even those vibrant worlds, has been transformed into endless rules and secret patterns in Xiao Yu's eyes.

Xiao Yu did not rush to fuse with the secret runes, but instead continued to comprehend the rules and secret runes of the new soul lineage.

Only when you have accumulated enough knowledge can you more easily comprehend the Primordial Soul Dao.

Moreover, although he had created seven Chaos Origin Paths, the Soul Path was ultimately different from the other Great Paths and was also more powerful.

A lord who has mastered the Soul Dao at the semi-primordial level can unleash soul techniques that have immense power over primordial beings at the progenitor level, let alone the Soul Dao at the primordial level.

As Xiao Yu cultivated, he mastered more and more of the rules and mysteries of the Soul Lineage. There were many of these rules and mysteries that he had never seen before, even in the Hunyuan Space.

It is precisely because of this spiritual world that all other powers are forbidden, and only the power of the soul can exist.

Xiao Yu, who was trapped in the mental world, was also a soul being, his body filled with soul power. It was precisely because of this that he was able to comprehend the profound soul runes more quickly.

In particular, many of its soul runes have already surpassed the Lord level. After all, this is a spiritual world formed by a treasure at the Six-Step Eternal Ancestral God level, containing many higher-level runes. It is also far more vast than the Soul Dao at the Primordial Origin level!
Time flies, and with a time flow rate ten thousand times faster, cultivation time passes rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred epochs have passed.

Xiao Yu has been in this spiritual world for a hundred epochs, while only about a million days have passed in the Infinite Chaos Space.

"In a hundred years, I have already comprehended thirty million of the mysteries of the rules of the soul lineage. This speed has far exceeded my expectations." Xiao Yu smiled, his speed of comprehending the mysteries of the soul rules far exceeding his plan.

The more one comprehends the rules and mysteries of any great principle, the more difficult it becomes, and each additional principle requires even more time to comprehend.

"Being able to comprehend the mysteries of thirty million soul rules is indeed something to be happy about, but I feel that I am still far from perfectly creating a soul path at the Hunyuan level." Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel troubled.

"Those who comprehend one hundred of the mysteries of the rules can become God Kings at the first level, while those who comprehend one thousand of the mysteries of the rules can become God Kings at the second level. Those who perfectly integrate ten thousand of the mysteries of the rules can become God Kings at the ultimate level."

"However, to reach the semi-primordial level from the ultimate realm of God King, it requires the perfect fusion of 100,000 kinds of rules and mysteries into one."

"But to advance from the semi-primordial level to the primordial level, it might require a thousand times or even ten thousand times more."

Xiao Yu also knew that comprehending the path of the soul was difficult. There were so many cultivators in the entire cultivation camp, and countless billions of them had reached the semi-primordial level. Among them, the lineage of enlightenment was also countless.

However, throughout the long years, only Xiao Yu has truly comprehended the ultimate soul path of the God King.

The difficulty of comprehending it is self-evident.

The difficulty of comprehending it is even greater than that of the path of bloodline inheritance.

"At my current pace of comprehension, I should be able to comprehend the mysteries of three hundred million rules in about ten thousand epochs. Perhaps then I'll have a chance." Xiao Yu thought to himself, glancing at the seventeen-colored protective shield around his soul body.

A hundred breaths passed, and the shield's power remained strong, showing no signs of weakening.

Over the course of a hundred years, Xiao Yu encountered countless soul-killing attacks and was invaded by spacetime ripples more than a hundred million times, averaging one spacetime ripple attack every hundred days.

“At the beginning, a spacetime ripple attack occurred only once every three hundred days, but now, it occurs on average once every eighty days, and the power of the spacetime ripple attack has also increased several times.” Xiao Yu frowned as he thought.

During these hundred years, although he had been cultivating, he still kept a sliver of his mind observing this spiritual world.

Because Elder Meng once said that this seventeen-colored protective shield could only last for a million epochs. After the expiration of the term, he would have to bear the invasion of the mental world himself, so he naturally had to observe and understand the mental world.

"The frequency of the invasions from the spiritual world is increasing, and the power is growing stronger. I wonder if this shield can last for a million epochs." Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. "But there's no use worrying now. The most important thing now is to cultivate and create a soul path at the Hunyuan level as soon as possible so that I can have a chance to escape from here."

After glancing at the world in the distance, which seemed like an evil god invading and contained endless demons, Xiao Yu resumed his secluded cultivation.

……

Heavenly Fire Realm.

A special world born from the endless primordial space, this world is even more vast and boundless than ordinary mysterious places.

The vast Heavenly Fire Realm possesses boundless power and has nurtured countless beings, including eight progenitors, nearly a thousand world-class Chaos Origin beings, and over a hundred billion high-level Chaos Origin beings.

Of the eight progenitors, five joined the innate chaotic origin camp. The strongest among them was the immortal Heavenly Fire King, who mastered two of the highest levels of fire power: Heavenly Fire and Evil Fire.

Heavenly fire possesses terrifying destructive power, capable of annihilating an ancestor, while wicked fire contains terrifying spirituality; once tainted, it becomes like a maggot clinging to one's bones, extremely difficult to remove.

Even the highest level of power from the Water lineage cannot withstand the corrosive influence of the Fiery Inferno.

Within the Heavenly Fire Realm, a majestic stone palace, the 'Heavenly Fire Palace,' is shrouded in endless flames.

This is a training ground of the Heavenly Fire King, who has avatars here year-round to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.

Inside the majestic stone hall, there is an ancient stone table and chairs, just like the stone table and chairs of the Eternal Land, except that the aura emanating from the stone table and chairs is much weaker.

Now, four of the five stone chairs are already occupied.

These are the four immortal beings: Heavenly Fire King, Wu King, Tai, and Ni.

Although King Tianhuo and King Wu had severely depleted their energy when they ambushed Xiao Yu, as the controllers of the Tian Sheng Hun Yuan camp, they possessed a considerable amount of rare resources, such as the Origin World Source. In less than a million days, their energy levels had fully recovered.

Although the two, Tai and Ni, are far apart, it may take some time for their true forms to descend, but their avatars can descend at any time.

“A million days have passed, and I still can’t sense even a trace of Xiao Yu’s presence. He must have been eliminated without a doubt,” Wu Wang said with a smile.

"Haha, he's doomed. I've already used a precious treasure, how could I possibly hold back?" King Tianhuo laughed, picked up his cup, and gulped down the purple Origin Wine that filled it.

This purple Origin Wine is made using the origin of the Origin World as its core ingredient, combined with rare Hunyuan treasures, and brewed using a mysterious and secret method.

Only the essence of a hundred Origin Worlds can brew such a cup.

"Heavenly Fire, you really know how to enjoy yourself!" Ni didn't really care about whether he could eliminate Xiao Yu. He was the one with the fewest subordinates among the five immortal beings in the Heavenly Chaos Origin camp.

It also had the least burden, with only three ancestors following it and no clan ties.

They have little need for Hunyuan resources, so they don't care about fighting over them.

After all, at the level of Hidden, a little bit of Hunyuan resources is not very helpful, and the precious and truly helpful ones are extremely rare. They cannot be obtained through fighting, but rather through chance.

Therefore, Ni usually cultivates in seclusion, occasionally venturing out to explore the endless primordial space.

"This wine is called Purple Origin Wine. It was brewed by me by chance after a breakthrough in my understanding. A single drop of this resource wine can create a world-class Chaos Origin." King Tianhuo said confidently with a smile. "And a cup of Purple Origin Wine can create an Ancestor-level Chaos Origin."

"Such miraculous creation!" King Wu exclaimed in amazement.

If a naturally born, undifferentiated life form wants to improve, it needs to tap into the potential of its bloodline. Although there are many ways to improve, none of them have such an effect.

This Ziyuan wine can be described as a sacred object of the innate, primordial life.

"Haha, Ziyuan Wine is hard to come by. If we use it to forge a Primordial-level Chaos Origin, it would be a loss." King Tianhuo explained with a smile, "For us, ordinary Primordials are important, but not that important. What is truly important is the immortal and indestructible Primordial, or the Primordial who has mastered the two highest levels of power."

"And to achieve either of these two points, one cannot do without struggle, relentless struggle, life-or-death struggle," King Tianhuo continued. "Only through enlightenment gained in life-or-death struggles, coupled with the aid of resources, is it possible to forge one's destiny." (End of Chapter)
