Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 231 The Enviable Streich's Fame Spreads Across the Universe
"To cultivate to the level of the Lord of the Universe, besides the most common paths of cultivating the fundamental laws of time and space, there is another path: the Path of the Beast God, which involves cultivating the laws of fusion!"

Just as many thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Venerable Yaoguang quickly continued, "Qingshan, you must have guessed it by now. The Path of the Beast God is the path that your disciple Streich is currently cultivating!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Lu Qingshan felt an overwhelming sense of awe.

Even he, the teacher who possessed the ability to create clones, greatly admired the cultivation path of his disciple, Streich.

When Streich became his disciple, his talent was not particularly strong. After nearly a million years of cultivation, he had only managed to pass the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge. He could only be considered one of the best geniuses in the Primordial Secret Realm.

If one cultivates for another few million years, there is still a chance to break through the Heavenly Thunder, cross the sixteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and enter the Primordial Secret Realm.

However, many geniuses of the human race need to undergo life-and-death trials when they reach the Realm Lord level. Therefore, after Strachey passed the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge, he planned to go to the outer battlefield to hone himself.

As the first disciple of Lu Qingshan, the invincible king who broke through to become an immortal, Stretch was bound to receive some treasures from Lu Qingshan before he went to the outer battlefield.

The treasure was too precious, and given Streich's strength at the time, it would have been difficult for him to protect it, so Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't bestow it upon him.

In addition to these, Lu Qingshan also bestowed many other treasures upon him.

Moreover, Lu Qingshan was well aware of the importance of life gene levels, so after applying to the human race, he planned to use the blood of the Beast God to raise the life gene level of Streich, who had already become a Blood Warrior, to ten times that of ordinary life in the universe.

This way, Streich will be better able to survive when he goes to the battlefield outside the region.

However, Lu Qingshan later learned from Streich that he had fused with the Blood Crystal quite easily, but because the Blood Crystal was too difficult to obtain, he did not continue to compete for fusion and instead chose to leave the Blood Crystal Continent.

Knowing this, Lu Qingshan naturally took out some Blood Crystals for Streich to continue fusing.

Although the wealth required to purchase the Blood of the Beast God was no longer considered particularly valuable to Lu Qingshan at the time, every Blood Crystal that Streich fused would save him a drop of Blood of the Beast God, so why not?

After starting to fuse with the Blood Crystal, Streich's extraordinary life, which could be described as having cheat codes, finally began.

When Streich fused with five Blood Crystals, Lu Qingshan was quite pleased, because it saved him at least 20 billion Chaos Units.
When Strachey fused with eight Blood Crystals, Lu Qingshan was already very surprised, because even the 'Blood God' Ba Qi, who had extremely high talent in fusing Blood Crystals on the Blood Continent in the original work, had to rely on the evil energy to transform himself for a long time before he could successfully fuse with eight Blood Crystals!
At that time, Lu Qingshan thought that if Streich failed to fuse, he would even ask the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master who guarded the Blood Luo Continent to pull some strings to send his disciple Streich to the Blood Luo Continent, use the evil energy to modify his body, and then see if Streich could fuse ten Blood Luo Crystals in the end and become a Black Warrior even rarer than Rosa, a genius who appeared once every tens of millions of eras in the history of the human race!
Just as various thoughts were flashing through Lu Qingshan's mind, Streich easily fused with ten Blood Crystals and became a true Black Warrior.

After seeing Streich become a Black Warrior, Lu Qingshan knew he had struck gold, and then continued to have Streich fuse with the Blood Crystal.

In the end, Streich did not disappoint him, fusing a total of seventeen Blood Crystals before reaching his own fusion limit.

After that, Lu Qingshan, who knew how rare Black Warriors were, quickly informed his senior brother, Venerable Yaoguang.

After learning of this incredible news, Venerable Yaoguang quickly informed the Lord of Ice Peak along with Lu Qingshan. The Lord of Ice Peak then instructed Lu Qingshan to bring his disciple Streich to see him.

After personally confirming that Streich had fused with seventeen Blood Crystals, the Lord of Ice Peaks repeatedly praised him and then directly bestowed upon Streich many resources to aid his cultivation.

This included the number of times he comprehended the Heavenly Thunder Chaos Stele, the blood of the Beast God, and the inheritance of the Thunder Beast God's Way. Finally, he also made Streich a disciple of a Cosmic Venerable who cultivated the Thunder Beast God's Way.

Unfortunately, Streich's talent in comprehending the laws was not very strong. Although he had the help of these cultivation resources and the guidance of his teacher, the Cosmic Venerable, and cultivated the Thunder Beast God Path which was more suitable for him, when he finally broke through to become an immortal god, he had only passed the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge. In terms of comprehending the laws, he was only equivalent to an ordinary beginner-level King.

Even so, after becoming immortal, Strachey still received great support from the human race. First, he was given a divine general inheritance that suited him, which improved his physical and spiritual amplification. Then, he was given a precious beast god inheritance token and sent to the Ancestral God Cult to cultivate.

At the time, Lu Qingshan was still puzzled after learning about this.

After all, even a powerful and invincible king like True King in the original work was not qualified to receive the Beast God Inheritance Token bestowed by his clan, and Streich's cultivation talent was somewhat inferior to True King's.

He even asked Venerable Yaoguang about it, and only then did he learn the answer from Venerable Yaoguang.

It turns out that the Beast God Inheritance Tokens in the human race's treasure trove are only relatively rare, but in reality, they are not very valuable. The value of one Beast God Inheritance Token is roughly equivalent to five hundred Heavy Treasure Points.

Moreover, the Beast God Inheritance Token has limited uses; it is only suitable for powerful individuals who have cultivated the Path of the Beast God.

Furthermore, many immortal geniuses among the human race, even after obtaining the Beast God's Inheritance Order, are not necessarily destined to become Universe Venerables, just like King Li Shuo and King Chaman in the original work.

This is why the Beast God Inheritance Token is not actually considered very valuable among the human race.

The fact that Strachey was able to raise his life gene level to a hundred times the limit that ordinary life in the universe could reach with less than ninety drops of Beast God blood is extremely rare. Therefore, even though he is weaker in his understanding of the laws, the human race is willing to give him a chance.

After all, once Straitch truly breaks through to the level of a Cosmic Venerable, his strength will already be formidable simply by relying on the hundredfold increase in life gene level.

Moreover, even if they perish, their life genetic level will not disappear after being resurrected by reversing time.

Moreover, compared to the enormous resources required to elevate the life gene level of a Universe Venerable to a hundredfold limit, the cost of a Beast God Inheritance Token is much smaller.

By now, Streich has been cultivating within the Ancestral God Cult for over 20 million years. Not long ago, he even broke through the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Thunder Bridge. His combat strength in reality is terrifying; even without powerful treasures to protect him, he is still much stronger than a typical King-level expert.

As Lu Qingshan sighed inwardly, Venerable Yaoguang continued, "Although comprehending and fusing the laws of the Beast God's Path is difficult at the beginning of cultivation, it does have some advantages once you reach the level of a Universe Venerable!"

"Even experts who cultivate the two fundamental laws of time and space find it difficult to receive guidance after breaking through to the realm of the Universe Venerable. Even comprehending the Chaos Stele is unlikely to be effective!"

“There have been cosmic venerables who have mastered the complete laws of time before, who tried to comprehend the chaos steles that explain the laws of space, but in the end, they still did not have much effect. After all, many of the creators of those chaos steles are now just cosmic overlords!”

“However, those who cultivate the Path of the Beast God can go to the inheritance grounds within the Ancestral God Sect to receive the inheritance of the Beast God. The effect is extremely amazing and will definitely be of great help to cultivating the Path of the Beast God.”

"Unfortunately, within the Ancestral God Sect, obtaining the opportunity to receive the inheritance is extremely difficult. Apart from receiving the next level of inheritance for free after each breakthrough, to obtain a new opportunity, one needs to fight against strong opponents of the same level, and one needs to win a hundred consecutive battles!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's words, Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement.

The opportunity to receive the inheritance of the Beast God's Way is roughly equivalent to an enhanced version of the Chaos Stele.

In the original work, it was because Zhenyan Wang received the inheritance of the fourth level of the Path of the Beast God that he was able to comprehend the complete laws of the origin of space and successfully enter the realm of the Universe Venerable.

"Perhaps I can find a way to go to the Ancestral God Sect in the future and receive the Beast God's inheritance!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "With the help of the enlightenment enhancement function, once I accept the inheritance, the gains will definitely be much greater than those of other inheritors!"

……

Next, Venerable Yaoguang explained some common messages among the cosmic venerables to Lu Qingshan, which gave Lu Qingshan a lot of understanding of the cosmic venerables in the universe.

"Qingshan!"

After recounting everything that needed to be reminded to Lu Qingshan, Venerable Yaoguang quickly continued, "My teacher once said that as long as you break through to the Universe Venerable realm, he will accept you as his personal disciple!"

"Now that you've broken through, don't forget to go see your teacher! I reckon that now that you've become his personal disciple, he'll bestow upon you a truly precious treasure!"

"With this treasure protecting you, you'll be much safer when you travel the universe!"

"Thank you for reminding me, Senior Brother. I understand!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

In fact, after Lu Qingshan successfully broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, his second clone was already heading to the Ice Peak Lord's Ice Mountain Palace.

……

While Lu Qingshan was on his way to pay his respects to the Lord of Ice Peak, news of his breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm was quickly spread to various forces across the vast universe through different channels.

Inside the palace of the great Lord of Feathered Path, in a virtual world constructed by the Zerg.

"Lord of Yutu!" A Zerg queen of the Universe Venerable level stood in the palace and respectfully greeted the graceful figure on the throne.

"Dawn, are you saying that a new cosmic sage has emerged among the human race, and that he even possesses an avatar?" the slender figure on the throne asked softly, her voice filled with endless allure.

"Yes!"

The Zerg Queen, 'Dawn,' quickly and respectfully replied, 'The Cosmic Venerable who recently broke through in the human race is the King of Myriad Realms. Tens of millions of years ago, he killed 'Rainbow Rain' on the battlefield outside the realm. Even the Azure Mantis King couldn't stop him at that time!'

"Oh?"

After hearing the words of the Zerg Queen 'Dawn', the voice of the Lord of Feathered Tu quickly became somewhat low: "That human King of Myriad Realms was able to kill Rainbow Rain under the protection of the Azure Mantis King, so his talent and comprehension must be very strong!"

"What exactly is your intelligence department doing? How could you let him break through to the Universe Venerable realm so easily?"

It's important to understand that a Cosmic Venerable with an avatar is far more troublesome than a King-level Immortal with an avatar. If the opponent is a King-level Immortal, then a Cosmic Venerable skilled in soul enslavement only needs to intervene to have the opportunity to enslave their soul, making it impossible for humanity to reverse time and resurrect them.

Once the opponent has cultivated to the level of a Universe Venerable, it becomes countless times more difficult to enslave their soul. Even the Lord of the Universe would not have absolute certainty of success.

"Lord of Yutu, it's like this..."

The Zerg Queen 'Dawn' quickly explained Lu Qingshan's situation at the time, and then continued, "We thought that this King of Myriad Realms would have a hard time breaking through to the Universe Venerable realm, and since he also had clones, it would be difficult to completely kill him, so we did not formulate a plan to kill him!"

"Yet he still broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, and in just a few thousand epochs!"

The Lord of Feathered Tu said coldly, "Is this what you call 'it's difficult to break through to the Universe Venerable Realm'?"

Upon hearing this, the Zerg Queen 'Dawn' immediately apologized, saying, "This matter was indeed an oversight by my intelligence department. Please forgive me, Lord of Feather Tu!"

"Humph!"

After a moment of silence, the Lord of Feathered Tu snorted coldly and said, "Fine, your intelligence department recently completely wiped out the super genius 'Hermann' of the Machine Race, making it impossible for the Machine Race's universe lords to revive him even by reversing time and space. You have made a great contribution, so this punishment will be forgiven!"

"Send the order!"

The voice of the Lord of Feather Tu quickly rang in the ears of everyone in the palace: "Closely investigate the news of that human race's Myriad Realms Venerable. We must find out how many avatars he has and what treasures he possesses, so that our insectoid powerhouses can gain the upper hand when they encounter him!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The powerful insectoid beings inside the palace responded respectfully.

……

Within the territory of the demon race.

In a silent starry sky, flames larger than stars are scattered everywhere, enveloping this void.

At the very center of this starry sky stands a majestic temple, the Sirius Temple, which is extremely famous in the universe.

hum!
Suddenly, a gigantic two-headed snake shadow appeared in the cosmic starry sky in front of the Sirius Palace.

As soon as the enormous serpentine shadow appeared, it respectfully prostrated itself on the ground and called out, "Lord of the Heavenly Wolf!"

Then, a pair of eye-like carvings on the Sirius Palace suddenly blinked, followed by a thunderous sound emanating from the entire palace: "Speak your mind."

"Lord Sirius, our powerful demon clan members who have infiltrated the human race have just sent back a message saying that another Universe Venerable has appeared among the human race!"

The giant snake shadow whispered, "This person is named Lu Qingshan. Before his breakthrough, he already possessed the strength of an invincible king, and he also has an avatar!"

"What did you say?"

As soon as the giant snake shadow finished speaking, a figure of a celestial wolf bathed in endless flames slowly walked out of the Celestial Wolf Palace. It was none other than the leader of the Celestial Wolf lineage of the demon royal family, the Lord of Celestial Wolves.

As soon as the Lord of Sirius appeared, he looked down at the enormous snake shadow crawling on the ground and said, "Detailed information!"

Upon hearing this, the giant snake shadow had a thought, and a phantom screen quickly appeared in front of the Lord of Sirius.

The Lord of Sirius gazed at the numerous pieces of information about Lu Qingshan displayed in the three-dimensional virtual projection.

"The ability to create clones? He broke through to the Universe Venerable realm after cultivating for tens of millions of years?"

"He once killed a junior disciple of the Extinction Clan and also stole many valuable treasures?"

After reading through all the information about Lu Qingshan, the Lord of Sirius said coldly, "Dark Night, you have truly disappointed me!"

"Humans pose such a threat to our demon race, yet your intelligence department has never paid any attention to them!"

"Especially recently, the work of your intelligence department has been absolutely terrible!"

"First, our race's genius 'Spencer' was assassinated by the human race, and then the human race's Sky Eclipse Venerable successfully broke through, while geniuses from the Zerg and Machine races also broke through to the Cosmic Venerable realm!"

"How can you explain your intelligence department's actions to our two patriarchs?"

"Alright, you'll go to the 'Bone-Eating Demon Realm' for a while. As for the intelligence department's work, we'll leave it to..."

call!
Before the Lord of Sirius could finish speaking, another figure appeared before him, with snow-white fur all over its body and blood-red vertical eyes.

"Teacher!" The newly appeared figure bowed respectfully to the Lord of Sirius.

Upon seeing this person appear, the Lord of Sirius was slightly surprised: "Tianhua, what brings you here?"

The newly appeared figure was none other than the strongest member of the Sirius lineage besides the Sirius Lord, and also the Sirius Lord's disciple, Venerable Tianhua.

Venerable Tianhua has only cultivated for tens of millions of years, yet he has already reached the level of a cosmic overlord. He has also become a disciple of the Dream Demon Ancestor, and in the future, he is expected to become a top cosmic overlord. His talent and comprehension are in no way inferior to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master of the human race.

"Teacher, I've heard about what happened with the intelligence department!"

Venerable Tianhua quickly said seriously, "Lu Qingshan's breakthrough was a complete accident, and it cannot be blamed on An Ye at all!"

"Moreover, if Dark Night hadn't discovered the Zerg spy who was about to infiltrate my side in time, I'm afraid I would have already perished in that Zerg spy's assassination attempt!"

"Dark Night has led the intelligence department for so many years and has made great contributions to our demon race. Why don't you let him continue to stay in the intelligence department to atone for his crimes and make amends?"

After hearing Venerable Tianhua's words, Lord Tianlang remained silent for a moment before turning to Venerable Anye: "Anye, since Tianhua has pleaded for you, I will let you go this time!"

"But you must remember this: never be negligent again when leading the intelligence department!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" Venerable Dark Night nodded respectfully in response.

"All right!"

The Lord of Sirius continued, "He's just a newly ascended Universe Venerable. Even if he has an avatar, he won't pose much of a threat to my demon race. Just keep an eye on him and gather intelligence on him in the future!"

"Yes!" Venerable Tianhua and Venerable Anye nodded in unison.

……

Besides the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race, other powerful races in the universe also gradually learned about Lu Qingshan's breakthrough.

If Lu Qingshan's previous identity as the King of Myriad Realms was merely considered to be quite famous among the many King-level Immortals;

Only now that he has broken through to the realm of the Universe Venerable can he be considered a super strongman with the ability to roam the universe.

For a time, many powerful beings in the universe were discussing his news.

"I've heard that another cosmic venerable one has emerged among the human race, named the Venerable of Myriad Realms, and he even possesses the ability to create clones?"

"How is this possible? Didn't the human race just produce a Monument Venerable?"

"Yes! There shouldn't be many strong individuals among the human race who possess the ability to create clones!"

"The information is absolutely correct! This Venerable of Myriad Realms, with his ability to create clones, is far more troublesome than that Venerable of the Monument!"

"That's right! The human race's Universe Venerables are already very powerful, but this Myriad Realms Venerable has avatars, making him even more troublesome!"

……

　I spent all day going through the setting and chatting with friends in the group for a while. I really can't finish writing the third chapter. I'll update it together tomorrow!
　　Also, although the previous chapter was about setting things up, it was also a summary of the fighting styles between universe venerables that I compiled. I hope everyone can pay a little more attention when reading it. In fact, experiences like Luo Feng's in the original work are not relevant to reference at all.

　　Luo Feng was initially able to withstand so many powerful opponents entirely because of the Tribulation Armor. After all, when he obtained the Sword River Luo component, the Qi Blood Palace Master knew the Golden Horned Beast was large, yet he still chose to attack, indicating he was confident of killing it. Therefore, the advantage of its size wasn't as astonishing as some might think.
