Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

"Old Master Meng?" Xiao Yu suddenly became excited.

He was somewhat flustered; everything seemed unreal.

Is the Old Man of Dreams still around?
He didn't leave?

"It's me, you little rascal. You didn't think I was gone, did you?" Old Meng's familiar voice rang out again, making Xiao Yu realize that he was not dreaming.

“But, a million years have passed, and you’ve just been watching me figure it out on my own,” Xiao Yu said deliberately.

He actually understood that Meng was doing it for his own good.

"In such a short time, you not only created a soul path at the Hunyuan level, but you have also begun to take the third step. This shows that your talent in the soul path is unparalleled!" Elder Meng's voice rang out again.

"Thanks to Elder Meng's guidance," Xiao Yu said.

"Haha, quite modest, that's good, I'm very pleased." Old Meng's voice came, "Now I can rest assured."

"call!"

Suddenly, the seventeen-colored protective shield began to vibrate violently, as if it had used up all its energy. In an instant, cracks appeared on the seventeen-colored protective shield.

As if possessing sentience, the Mind Prison knew that the energy of the Seventeen-Colored Shield had been used up, and it launched a fierce attack.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of soul techniques attacked, the invisible power materializing into massive worlds, vast swords, or enormous beast claws... Thousands upon thousands of terrifying attacks crashed into the cracked shield.

"Old Master Meng." Xiao Yu exclaimed in shock.

He sensed that this time, Meng Lao was truly going to disappear.

The seventeen-colored protective shield already had cracks, and it was subjected to thousands upon thousands of terrifying attacks. Without the protection of the power of the Dream Elder, the shield itself was not powerful enough to repair itself. The cracks were bombarded and grew larger and larger, even creating huge holes.

Suddenly—a dark rainbow light flew in from the huge hole, approaching Xiao Yu.

"It's just in time." Xiao Yu looked at the rainbow light. It was an attack from a world transformed into a demonic realm, filled with the corrosive power of evil spirits.

"An attack from a peak-level Second-Step Eternal Ancestral God is just the right time to test the survivability of my soul body."

Xiao Yu's soul body has now transformed into one of the ten previously selected fusion methods, and he is about to test it in actual combat.

Thinking this, he left behind a clone and then crashed into the world of demons and monsters.

"Boom!"

Its dark body transformed into a thread, instantly colliding with the demonic world, sending terrifying shockwaves in all directions.

Hundreds of cracks appeared in the void, spreading out in all directions and extending towards the boundaries of the mental prison.

"boom!"

Xiao Yu took a step back, while the Demon World was sent flying backward by the impact, even faster than when it attacked.

"My body is alright; its defensive capabilities have reached the level of a third-step Eternal Ancestral God." Xiao Yu chuckled to himself, quite satisfied with the defense of his body.

He had just sensed himself and found that his body had not suffered any harm from the attack.

"My body's natural counterattack is also quite good." Xiao Yu looked into the distance, where the impact surface of the demon world had completely collapsed and been destroyed, and dark lightning flames were burning the demon world.

These dark, lightning-like flames were a technique Xiao Yu had mastered, which he usually kept attached to his body. Once attacked, they would naturally burn the enemy.

The demonic world rapidly decomposed under the scorching heat of dark lightning flames, transforming into the purest soul energy. In the blink of an eye, a vast demonic world was completely disintegrated.

"Suck!"

With a thought, Xiao Yu's body was covered with countless black runes that began to spin rapidly, transforming into countless abysses and generating endless suction power.

"call!"

A world comparable to the peak level of a second-step Eternal Ancestral God, the energy generated by its decomposition and dissipation was terrifying. It was surrounded by a seventeen-colored protective shield and the energy dissipated from the collision of thousands upon thousands of minds. The combination of the two was even more terrifying, but it was instantly absorbed by the abyss.

"Haha." Xiao Yu took a deep breath, absorbed the soul energy, and instantly refined all the energy into his own. "This time, not only did I recover the energy consumed during my millions of years of cultivation, but I also increased it by 30%."

"boom!"

The seventeen-colored protective shield finally gave way and turned into dust, dissipating into nothingness. The dissipated energy was also absorbed by Xiao Yu.

"Next, I'll have to bear the brunt of these billions of attacks myself," Xiao Yu thought.

Soul attacks are much faster than physical or energy attacks, and there is no way to dodge them; you can only endure them.

"call!"

One after another, soul attacks silently descended.

"Wow~"

With a thought, Xiao Yu altered the basic structure of his soul body, instantly changing his fusion method and transforming into a body formed by the second type of multidimensional rule mystery diagram.

The body's surface seemed to be covered with billions of black scales, each scale emitting a ghostly light like a sharp blade.

Purple-gold flames clung to the black scales.

"Good timing." Xiao Yu smiled. His current body is more adept at attacking, but its defense is also quite good.

Dozens of soul attacks bombarded Xiao Yu's soul body in succession, but the billions of layers of black scales seemed to be connected as one, blocking the erosion of each soul attack.

"call!"

Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from above, and a gigantic hand appeared high up, drawing Xiao Yu's attention.

This was the first time Xiao Yu had directly faced an attack from a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God.

This unsettling feeling was far more intense than the previous experience of facing a mental prison.

"Not good!" Xiao Yu was horrified, but his mind seemed to freeze, unable to think at all, and he stared blankly at the huge hand striking him.

"boom!"

The enormous hand slowly slammed down, seemingly at a slow speed, but Xiao Yu had no time to react. His body was as fragile as paper, and he was quickly annihilated by the impact.

Only a faint purple-gold flame remained on the spot. This purple-gold flame was so weak that it seemed that a gust of wind could extinguish it in the next moment, yet it withstood the attack of the enormous hand.

"call!"

The enormous hand dissipated, and purple-gold flames rose. Invisible energy gathered from the void, forming layers of structure with the purple-gold flames as the core, and then forming billions of layers of black scales.

"I almost died." Xiao Yu thought in horror, "The mental impact of the fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God level is too terrifying. It is simply beyond what my current level can withstand."

He has now created the Chaotic Origin Soul Path, and is an immortal being within this mental prison.

Although the attacks from the Mind Prison could destroy Xiao Yu's clones time and time again, they could not kill him completely, and he would be resurrected again and again.

"I still have 70% of my energy left, I need to recover quickly," Xiao Yu thought to himself. Then, with a thought, he generated an endless absorption power, frantically absorbing the energy dissipating around him.

If he doesn't absorb it, in a short while, this energy will return to his mental prison, transforming into a source of energy that attacks him repeatedly. "Whoosh!"

Waves of energy rippled through the air, and more energy gathered in the distance; the Mind Prison was about to launch another offensive.

"Keep trying." With a thought, Xiao Yu began to try.

This time, we changed our approach.

Ten clones blocked his way, each condensed according to one of the ten optimal fusion methods.

"boom!"

Hundreds of silent fluctuations came, and the ten clones easily withstood the attacks from these second-step Eternal Ancestral Gods.

Moreover, it absorbs the dense energy dissipating in the surroundings, restoring its own energy reserves and enhancing the energy of its clones.

They were all severely injured in an attack that reached the level of a third-step Eternal Ancestral God.

The most severely affected were those with black scales on their bodies. At this moment, these black scales were completely shattered under the invisible fluctuations, and the soul network covering them was also rapidly collapsing and annihilating. Only the core purple-gold soul flame was still burning.

This clone is now nothing but a soul flame.

"call!"

In wave after wave of attacks, the ten clones were annihilated one by one, leaving only the purple-gold flames.

"Although the second clone's defense is not strong and it was the first to begin to crumble, its resilience is the strongest. Even if it withstands an attack from a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God, it will not be completely annihilated." Xiao Yu was very pleased to see this. From this purple-gold flame, he saw the direction to follow.

The flame will never be extinguished!

The soul is like fire, and the primordial chaos is like kindling!
"call!"

Suddenly, a complex and multi-dimensional diagram of rules appeared in Xiao Yu's mind. This multi-dimensional diagram was both incredibly profound and incredibly perfect.

The supreme aura it exuded was also more mysterious.

"This is the next step of the Supreme One." This thought naturally arose in Xiao Yu's mind.

Taking one or two steps from the level of a lord only results in creating more Chaotic Origin Dao, but upon reaching the level of the third step, the Eternal Ancestral God, one must begin to integrate the Dao of the Chaotic Origin level.

At least that's the path Xiao Yu has taken.

For someone like Yuan, as long as he continuously comprehends the Dao and integrates it into the Dao of the Hunyuan Rules, he will continuously enhance the power of the Dao, but his path will become even more ambiguous.

"call!"

Unseen waves emanated, signaling the imminent attack from the mental prison.

Xiao Yu paid no attention. With a thought, the Primordial Dao and the Primordial Soul Dao began to merge. The endless mysteries of the rules merged with each other, giving rise to endless mysteries.

In the blink of an eye, the two supreme levels of Dao had perfectly merged.

His soul has transformed into a purple-gold flame, within which billions of worlds are evolving and billions of rules and mysteries are manifesting.

His mental will was also rapidly soaring, continuously climbing from the level of the fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God, to the peak of the fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God, the limit of the fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God, the fifth-step Eternal Ancestral God...

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu's mental will had already climbed to the limit of the fifth step of the Eternal Ancestral God, and continued to climb to the peak of the sixth step of the Eternal Ancestral God before stopping.

In terms of the manifestation of the soul, the stronger the will of the mind, the stronger the soul.

After creating the Chaotic Origin Soul Dao, Xiao Yu's mental will had already reached the level of a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God. This is one of the reasons why the purple-gold flames could withstand attacks from a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God without going out.

Now that the Soul Dao and the Primordial Dao have perfectly merged, Xiao Yu's mental will has risen once again, reaching the peak level of the Sixth Step Eternal Ancestral God.

His soul is incredibly strong.

The purplish-gold flames generated a vast domain of rules around him. Everything within this domain was under his control; although the attack from the Mind Prison was terrifying, it could not harm him.

"call!"

Hundreds of soul attacks rushed into the surrounding domain of rules, but they were like raindrops falling into the ocean, not even causing a ripple. These attacks not only could no longer harm Xiao Yu, but they also became resources for Xiao Yu's cultivation in the mental prison.

It became the energy that enabled him to enhance his strength.

At first, Xiao Yu's soul energy seemed weak, but as time went on and the mental prison attacked him again and again, the energy that Xiao Yu absorbed gradually became larger and larger.

While resisting the attacks of the Mind Prison, Xiao Yu's soul consciousness was also operating at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, countless moves were created.

His priority was to create a method for constructing the body.

Within this mental prison, manifesting as purple-gold flames is certainly possible, but once one leaves this mental prison, a physical body is still required.

The stronger the body, the better.

After tens of thousands of days of research and experimentation, he finally created a body construction method that satisfied him: the 'Primordial River Illusionary Body'.

"Let's try out the Primordial Chaos Illusionary Body." Xiao Yu's mind stirred.

Within the radiant area of ​​the purple-gold flames, a long purple-gold river was born from nothingness, and then continuously rotated around the purple-gold flames, like a swimming dragon.

Within the swirling orbit of the purple-gold river, purple-gold energy converges, and this vast energy, with purple-gold flames at its core, condenses to form bones, flesh, and skin.

In the blink of an eye, a purple-gold figure appeared in the void, with nine purple-gold rivers encircling his body.

Its towering body exudes an aura of unparalleled solidity, as if it resides in the endless space-time corresponding to this void, past, present, and future, its purple-gold body seemingly unchanging.

Its majestic, purplish-gold body hovered in the void, subtly distorting the surrounding spacetime as if trying to solidify into a single realm.

"The Primordial Chaos Illusionary Body is very strong in terms of defense, attack, and survival." Xiao Yu was very excited. He had just carefully sensed everything inside his body and was very satisfied.

The Hunyuan Changhe Illusion has reached the limit of the three-step Eternal Ancestral God level in terms of various abilities such as defense, attack, and survival.

Although Xiao Yu has not yet truly become a three-step Eternal Ancestral God, his physical body has already reached the limit of a three-step Eternal Ancestral God. Moreover, his mental will has reached the peak of a six-step Eternal Ancestral God.

With such strength, if he were placed within the Chaos Origin Space, even if all the Primordial Ancestors combined their attacks, they probably wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.

"Now that I have a body, I need to create techniques to unleash the full potential of this body." Xiao Yu's soul was racing, and with a single thought, countless techniques were born.

One terrifying move after another seemed to be created without any thought.

The attack techniques number in the billions, with the strongest reaching the level of a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God.

"In a short period of time, reaching the fourth step of the Eternal Ancestral God level is the strongest move I can create." Xiao Yu has already reached his limit.

Now, with his Dao at the level of a two-and-a-half-step Eternal Ancestral God, he has created an attack at the level of a four-step Eternal Ancestral God, making him a monstrous genius among geniuses.

Such talent is extremely rare even in the ancient continent.

For a tree to grow taller, it needs not only better seeds but also more fertile soil. No matter how good the seeds are, they will not grow into a towering tree if the soil is barren.

The Dao is the soil from which towering trees grow; it is the foundation of everything. (End of Chapter)
