Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

"Dark blade light, dark chains, dreamlike kill, death trap, wheel of reincarnation..."

Standing before the bluish-purple mirror, Xiao Yu recalled all the moves his avatars had experienced, and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Just now, the avatar that entered that illusory world had exhausted all its essence and dissipated. Even the avatar that merged into the void disappeared inexplicably, and after a dazzling light, its essence was instantly depleted.

"These moves feel familiar, yet different to me." How could Xiao Yu not be familiar with these moves? They were very similar to his own signature moves.

Yet it is different.

Although it doesn't consume much energy, it is far more powerful than the moves he used.

"The ways in which the mysteries of rules are combined are different."

Xiao Yu quickly understood the difference. Although he hadn't paid attention during the battle, he had remembered every detail. Now that the battle was over, he could recall every detail and explore the mysterious rules contained in those terrifying moves.

“There are also some rules and mysteries that I haven’t comprehended, and it is precisely these rules and mysteries that greatly increase the power of these moves.” Xiao Yu frowned. “The aura emanating from these rules and mysteries is very peculiar, with a kind of illusory and bewildering feeling.”

These rules and mysteries are the rules and mysteries of the illusory power side.

The power of illusion is a top-level power and the core power of the Ten Billion Great Mirror Realm. Many of the highest-level powers contained in the Ten Billion Great Mirror Realm are based on the power of illusion.

"This illusory world is truly peculiar. Not only can it not absorb energy, but it can also copy the moves of those who enter and even optimize them." Xiao Yu had already understood the reason for what he had just encountered and was also thinking about how to deal with it.

Xiao Yu didn't care that more than fifty avatars were destroyed; his clones could be restored in the blink of an eye.

The Misty World also forbids all outside beings from absorbing energy, but Xiao Yu's methods of competing for energy are extraordinary. He can even compete for energy with a secret treasure at the level of a sixth-step Eternal Ancestral God, so naturally he can also absorb energy from the Misty World to restore himself.

However, in the illusory world, his methods were ineffective.

This made Xiao Yu feel very passive.

"These illusory rules and mysteries are also very important to me," Xiao Yu thought to himself, having already made up his mind to cultivate the power of illusion.

With a single thought, an avatar with an energy reserve a thousand times that of a lord instantly materialized beside him.

The dark avatar had just condensed when it flew into the purplish-blue mirror without looking back.

On the one hand, it is necessary to continuously verify the power levels of the illusory world.

On the other hand, one can also gain insights into the mysteries of the rules during battle.

"call!"

As soon as You An Xiao Yu appeared in the illusory world, he was met with wave after wave of attacks. The power of these attacks also increased to a new level, with terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

Moments later, You An Xiao Yu also perished.

A misty world, before a bluish-purple mirror.

Xiao Yu pondered deeply: "This time, the clone that entered had increased its energy by a hundred times, while the power of the illusory world had only increased by ten times, but its might had increased by ten thousand times."

For Xiao Yu, a hundredfold increase in energy would increase the power of the techniques he could unleash by thousands of times.

But it was still wiped out.

This clearly demonstrates the terror of this illusory world.

"Although this clone of mine was destroyed, it also allowed me to see more of the mysteries of the rules." Xiao Yu was secretly delighted. This time, he lasted longer and saw even more of the mysteries of the rules.

Immediately, within the Primordial Chaos World, the main battle avatar, who had been in seclusion, opened its eyes and began to comprehend the power of illusion. A quarter of an hour later, this gain was successfully transformed.

I have thoroughly understood all the rules and mysteries I witnessed this time.

"I've already grasped 38% of the illusory power," Xiao Yu thought to himself. "This time, the clone that enters will need even more energy reserves."

With a thought, Xiao Yu left a weak clone in the misty world, and then stepped into the purplish-blue mirror, causing ripples to rise on its surface.

"call!"

Spacetime transformation.

Xiao Yu appeared in a distorted world. As soon as he entered, his All-Knowing Eye was activated, scanning his surroundings.

The entire world is filled with endless and wondrous rules and mysteries, and countless secret patterns are displayed in the eyes of the all-knowing eye. Xiao Yu is fully absorbing this gain.

He also saw through this illusory world.

There is no spacetime here, nor any trace of primordial power; there is only illusory power.

Without understanding the power of illusion, one cannot absorb even a trace of energy.

Xiao Yu tried it, but even he couldn't absorb and transform these illusory powers.

If it cannot be transformed into primordial power, even if it is absorbed, it will be useless, not only unhelpful but also harmful.

What carries this illusory world is not time and space, nor emptiness, but nothingness.

"This illusory world is actually directly above nothingness. How strange!" Xiao Yu, with his all-seeing eye, passed through the illusory world and landed around him, where there was nothingness.

Nothingness is true nothingness.

In nothingness, there is nothing.

No form of energy, or particle, can exist in 'nothingness'.

Everything that exists cannot be combined with 'nothingness'.

Even the word "nothingness" is just a similar description.

Xiao Yu couldn't think of any way to make this illusory world exist in 'nothingness' instead of becoming part of 'nothingness'.

“My vision cannot penetrate ‘nothingness.’ The part of my vision and will that looks into ‘nothingness’ will also be assimilated by nothingness and become part of nothingness.” Xiao Yu could feel that the part of his vision and will that passed through the illusory world had quietly disappeared.

All of this happened the instant Xiao Yu entered this illusory world.

"call!"

The distorted world around him suddenly saw countless secret patterns converge, forming eighteen vortexes around Xiao Yu.

Terrifying power seemed to be gathering within these eighteen secret rune vortexes.

Xiao Yu entered his clone this time with 100,000 times the energy reserves. This terrifying energy reserve is more than the total energy of all the ancestral beings in the Hunyuan Space.

Wu Lan's energy reserves are dozens of times that of Mo Man, but this only makes her better at preserving her life. She lacks the means to kill enemies, just like a fat man in a fighting arena who has size and weight but is slow to move.

But Xiao Yu is not like that.

He not only possessed terrifying energy reserves, but also corresponding methods of killing enemies. In an instant, Xiao Yu had already made a response, waving his hand and using his palm as a blade to unleash tens of thousands of blade lights, each a full-force strike.

This single move consumed nearly one-third of his inner energy.

Thirty-six thousand terrifying blades of light locked onto their targets, striking the eighteen vortexes. Nearly two thousand blades of light bombarded almost every vortex.

Since this illusory world lacks space and time, Xiao Yu's sword light instantly struck the key nodes of the eighteen vortexes.

"boom!"

A terrifying power erupted instantly, shattering the world and revealing a purple-gold light.

"I clearly saw that there was nothingness outside the illusory world, so where did the purple-gold light come from?" Xiao Yu frowned.

These purplish-gold rays of light exuded a terrifying aura.

Xiao Yu felt a terrifying pressure from these purple-gold lights, which were clearly a purer and higher-level energy than the power of chaos.

"call!"

Suddenly, the purple-gold flames deep within his soul exploded violently, and his entire body was enveloped in purple-gold light.

Instantly, Xiao Yu felt a sense of relief throughout his body. The terrifying pressure from before was gone, and the purple-gold light emanating from the purple-gold flame deep within his soul was able to withstand the pressure from the purple-gold ocean that emerged after the illusory world shattered.

"It seems that my soul transformation before was really extraordinary!" Xiao Yu sighed inwardly, no longer paying attention to the purple-gold light, but noticing the abnormality of the eighteen vortexes.

The terrifying blade light just now struck the key points of the vortex, breaking the terrifying moves that were brewing within it and causing all eighteen secret rune vortexes to dissipate.

The illusory world seemed to have returned to peace.

But in the next instant, Xiao Yu felt himself being entangled and permeated by countless invisible chains whose shape could not be seen or discerned.

Xiao Yu struggled to break free, unleashing a series of techniques.

These chains bound him very tightly. Even with Xiao Yu's energy reserves of 100,000 times, which could unleash an attack power comparable to that of a fourth-step Eternal Ancestral God, he still couldn't break free.

These chains were wrapped around Xiao Yu, dragging him downwards continuously.

"Where are these chains going to drag me?" In this illusory world, where there is no time or space, Xiao Yu had no idea how long he had been dragged or how far he had been dragged.

Although his body had been penetrated, he was not without any means of resistance.

At least, it can actively dissolve this incarnation.

However, he wanted to persist for a while longer, firstly to see as many of the rules and secret patterns of the illusory power as possible. Secondly, Xiao Yu also wanted to know where he would be dragged to.

Based on Xiao Yu's avatar's estimation within the Misty World, approximately 35 minutes later, Xiao Yu suddenly saw the surrounding runes fading away.

"The runes are fading. Oh no, this is the disappearance of illusory power. In other words, I'm about to pass through the illusory world." Xiao Yu looked around. The runes were fading very quickly, but he didn't see any purple-gold light.

Looking through the gaps where the illusory power had faded, he could see nothing, as if his vision had been cut off, and everything he could see remained within the range of the illusory power.

"Damn it, they're trying to drag me into the void and let it assimilate me!" Xiao Yu roared. "This illusory world must be controlled by intelligent beings behind the scenes, otherwise, given the rules governing its operation, it couldn't possibly be so intelligent."

Xiao Yu originally came from the Origin World. Along the way, he has seen too many worlds and created countless Primordial Worlds.

They are naturally very familiar with the rules that govern the world.

No other world possesses such wisdom that it would use others to do its dirty work.

They wanted to kill him by relying on the power of 'nothingness'.

"With my current strength, I cannot face 'nothingness' directly. So be it, let's disperse this clone." Xiao Yu made a decision instantly. With a thought, the clone, which had an energy reserve of up to 100,000 times, quietly dispersed. The terrifying energy, without the restraint of its master, rushed in all directions.

Most of the energy rushed toward the cracked membrane of the illusory world, and the opening, which had only just opened a crack, was suddenly stretched open and expanded dozens of times.

A large amount of energy bursts out of the membrane of the illusory world and rushes into the 'nothingness' outside the membrane.

These energies, like drops of water falling into ink, instantly transform into part of 'nothingness,' and 'nothingness' even extends into the illusory world along with the raging energy flow.

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly rang out, and in the illusory world, a phantom appeared, looking at the raging energy all around.

In an instant, the violent energy was calmed down and then vanished completely, as if the violent energy had just been a dream.

"This 'nothingness' is truly difficult to control. Even though I have grasped some of the mysteries of 'nothingness,' I still cannot control even this trace of 'nothingness.'" The phantom gazed at the membrane wall of the world. Instantly, the spreading 'nothingness' seemed to be suppressed by an invisible hand and quietly retreated.

It's hard to imagine that the 'nothingness' that envelops the entire illusory world is just a wisp.

"This little fellow from the Eternal Land has actually come to the territory of my Ancestral Source God Cult by some twist of fate." The illusory figure gazed into the distance, his gaze passing through the illusory world to see the black-clad figure standing in front of the purplish-blue mirror in the misty world.

He was the leader of the Source God Ancestor Cult.

"The karma entanglement on this little guy is very deep. That karma cannot be touched. If I rashly make a move, I'm afraid disaster will befall him." The illusory figure looked at the weak figure and could see all the karma on Xiao Yu's body.

If it were an ordinary creature, daring to trespass into his secluded cultivation place, it would have vanished without a trace long ago.

But he dared not touch Xiao Yu. Following the causal lines on Xiao Yu's body, the leader of the Origin God Ancestral Sect could see a pair of incomparably majestic eyes looking over.

Those eyes radiated an aura of endless terror.

The leader of the Source God Ancestor Cult felt as insignificant as an ant, as if the other party could destroy him with a single glance.

"Humph!"

A cold snort rang out, and instantly the leader of the Source God Ancestral Sect went black, suffering a severe injury and spitting out a mouthful of purplish-gold blood.

"What a terrifying being this is!" the phantom exclaimed in horror. "If it hadn't held back, it could have killed me with a single glance."

"The karma on Xiao Yu is too great; I cannot get involved," the illusory figure thought to himself. With a thought, the purplish-blue mirror connecting the illusory world suddenly vanished.

A quarter of an hour later, the phantom recovered and looked again at the 'nothingness' that enveloped the illusory world.

“Nothingness possesses many instincts, and assimilation is merely one of its many instincts, or rather, one of its mysteries.” The phantom fell into deep thought.

'Nothingness' has a strong instinct to assimilate everything into 'nothingness,' just like a hungry creature wanting to devour. Upon seeing anything that exists, 'Nothingness' will actively hunt it down.

Only by comprehending 'nothingness' to a certain degree can one possibly control some of the instincts of 'nothingness'.

“It is truly difficult to fully comprehend ‘nothingness’! I have already gone through three cycles of Nirvana in this illusory world, yet I still haven’t grasped all the mysteries of ‘nothingness’, and I am even further from mastering ‘nothingness’.” The illusory figure sighed softly.

It is extremely difficult for living beings to comprehend 'nothingness'. Ordinary lords could not possibly comprehend even a trace of it. In ten thousand cycles of annihilation and reincarnation, only one person in the entire river of time could comprehend 'nothingness'. Ordinary living beings cannot even see 'nothingness'.

Only beings whose mental will has reached the level of a sixth-step eternal ancestral god can see 'nothingness'. (End of Chapter)
