Swallow the Stars: Fight to Become Stronger

Chapter 769 Secret
"This little guy is hiding his true strength, but that's a good thing. Our human race is currently in a phase of low-key accumulation. As long as the battle space continues to function, cosmic venerables, cosmic overlords, and cosmic masters can appear in large numbers!"

As the chief steward of humanity, the Lord of Chaos City is extremely clear about the current strength of the human race. The Cosmic Venerables are already the backbone of various top races and forces, but they are not enough to secure victory.

Since the disappearance of the progenitor, the human race has been preparing to take on the entire primitive universe by itself. However, the accumulation of experience has been too slow, and it seems that there will never be an end in sight.

However, with the appearance of Li Dong and the incredible power of the battle space, the Lord of Chaos City has now seen real hope.

At the level of Cosmic Sovereigns, the entire human race has already gained the ability to crush all other races and forces.

However, in the universe, to achieve a truly overwhelming victory, one must look at the level of cosmic overlords and cosmic masters. Only when there are enough of these two can a sufficient number of the strongest beings in the universe be born.

Although the strongest beings in the universe are restricted in the original universe, they still possess power surpassing that of the Lord of the Universe. In a short burst of power, they could even accidentally kill the Lord of the Universe.

Under such circumstances, even though the human race has become many times stronger, it still dares not reveal its true strength.

This stage is arguably the most dangerous time for the human race. If other races and forces were to learn of the number of cosmic venerables in the human race, they would likely go completely mad and would stop at nothing to annihilate the human race.

This is a visible danger, so the Chaos City Lord's task at this time is extremely important; he needs to prevent such a thing from happening as much as possible.

Although Li Dong's current cultivation level is average, he has already seen Li Dong's unparalleled strength. However, even the Lord of Chaos City does not know why Li Dong can achieve such a level.

However, every genius has a fortuitous encounter; without such an encounter, one cannot grow at all. All that is needed is to know Li Dong's value to the human race.

…………

The news spread quickly to the outside world, but Luo Feng was completely unaware of it. In particular, because the 'Two-Faced Ancestral God' controlled the universe, the inheritors on Zijing Island did not see the scene of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake disappearing instantly and then recovering in a moment.

"What!" Luo Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Ancestral God, you, you've been protecting me all along..."

"Hahaha……"

The two-faced ancestral god laughed, "I am the immortal demon living next door to you. When I transform into that form, of course no one on Zijing Island can discover me."

"It's him?" Luo Feng immediately pictured a two-headed silver wolf, an immortal demon.

“If I hadn’t always lived next door to you, and you suddenly encountered danger, how could I have saved you in time if I were in the Ancestral God Palace?” The Two-Faced Ancestral God laughed. “That Phantom Demon God was incredibly powerful and appeared on Purple Thorn Island in an instant. If I were in the Ancestral God Palace, by the time I discovered his appearance, I would probably have just arrived… and you would have already perished, or even been controlled by your soul.”

"Controlled by a soul?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow.

Based on what I know...

The strongest being in the universe is only slightly stronger than the strongest universe lord; the difference isn't too outrageous. His own will and consciousness are at the universe lord level, he has the Calamity Armor to weaken soul attacks, and he has the 'Tower Bead,' a component of the supreme treasure Star Tower, to protect his soul; he shouldn't be that fragile.

"Don't believe me?" The Two-Faced Ancestral God smiled at Luo Feng and shook his head. "He's called the False True Demon God? Why is he called False True? It's because the illusion techniques he uses... are exactly the same as the real ones."

"Illusion? Reality?" Luo Feng was secretly shocked. "Once you fall into his illusion, you can still sense the fundamental laws of the universe and cultivate... The insights into the laws you gain from cultivating within it are completely real." The Two-Faced Ancestral God smiled at Luo Feng. "Of course, once you break free from the illusion, you will find that you yourself haven't changed; only your will and memories have undergone slight changes. Of course, the laws you cultivate must be ones he knows; if he doesn't know them, he naturally can't let you cultivate them."

Luo Feng was secretly shocked.

Can you practice the laws in a fantasy world? This is very similar to the virtual universe.

wrong!

The virtual universe allows countless lives to enter simultaneously, where they can cultivate any law, making it almost indistinguishable from the real world. Furthermore, truly powerful beings can clearly distinguish between the virtual and real worlds and won't confuse them. Only some ordinary humans with weak strength, after prolonged exposure to virtual games… will eventually begin to confuse reality with the virtual.

Once the will becomes strong, it will not be confused.

Therefore, there is a fundamental difference between the virtual universe and the illusion. It is more legitimate and more like another universe—the 'universe of consciousness'.

“Once you fall into his illusion, you might spend tens of thousands of years or even longer in the illusion in an instant,” said the Two-Faced Ancestral God.

"Can't this be used for cultivation?" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise. "A very clever way to save time."

"Do not."

The two-faced ancestral god walked on the stone path at the edge of the pond. "Maintaining an illusion consumes a huge amount of divine power, and he has to go all out. It's easy to trap an ordinary human in an illusion for a long time. But to trap a 'Lord of the Universe' in an illusion and let him spend ten thousand years in it instantly, that consumes an exaggeration of divine power. How can that be used for cultivation? Moreover, the path you are going to take, the illusory demon god may not be able to do it."

“But his greatest strength is illusion.” The Ancestral God looked at Luo Feng. “I have lived beside you for 62 years and have been silently observing you for so long. I have also judged that your will and consciousness should have reached the level of the Lord of the Universe, and your divine body is roughly comparable to a unique special life form.”

Luo Feng was shocked.

very scary.

He didn't even fight; he just observed secretly for a long time and deduced it. Even the 'Chaos City Lord' teacher could only make that judgment in the initial universe.

"To annihilate you with my soul is as difficult as to annihilate the ruler of the universe."

“But the illusory and real demon gods can do it.”

The Ancestral God nodded. "The illusions of the False True Demon God are extremely terrifying. With the will and consciousness of the Lord of the Universe... one would need to possess at least a top-tier soul-type treasure to be unafraid of his illusions. And that's only because his strength is constrained by the pressure of the origin of the universe."

"It has to be a top-tier soul-type treasure?" Luo Feng held his breath.

This is a top-tier soul-type treasure, comparable in value to a peak-level treasure. Among the lords of the universe, there probably aren't many like it.

"You should know that he is the most terrifying illusionist among the strongest beings in the universe." The Two-Faced Ancestral God looked at Luo Feng. "Ordinary soul-type treasures... his ethereal divine power can tear them apart instantly. Even high-level soul-type treasures cannot be protected. This is a fact proven by his battle record."

Luo Feng nodded and remembered it.
