Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 149 Manipulating Creation, Immortal Transformation Pool
Then, gazing at the lifeless world within his body, Lu Jin manipulated the primordial energy of the universe that filled the entire inner world—the power of the world—and began to truly evolve the world.

"The central continent, and the eight peripheral continents representing metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light, condense!"

Instantly, the power of the world transformed, and a vast central continent with a diameter of 50 billion kilometers, along with eight peripheral continents with a diameter of 10 billion kilometers surrounding the central continent, coalesced and took shape.

These eight marginal continents present different landscapes, some with towering metal mountains, some with endless vegetation, some with swirling snow, some with raging fires, some with boundless earth, some with hurricanes, some with lightning, and some with endless radiance.

"Between the nine continents lies an endless sea!"

‘Rumble—’

Countless water sources within the world arise and transform into endless oceans, filling most of the individual's inner world, connecting the central continent with eight peripheral continents through the seas.

"The central continent should have an inland sea!"

Immediately afterwards, the central continent, which had a diameter of 50 billion kilometers, began to collapse outward from its center point.

Vast amounts of land vanished into nothingness, and countless seas were born, eventually forming a vast inland sea with a diameter of tens of billions of kilometers.

"In the center of the inner sea lies the Abyss of Two Worlds!"

'Gurgle—'

Endless seawater surged, and the Abyss of Two Realms slowly rose, just like an isolated island in an inland sea.

At the center of the isolated island lies an endless abyss, seemingly connected to another world.

After doing all this, Lu Jin handed over the evolution of his inner world to natural evolution.

Soon, countless mountains, plains, hills, flowers, plants, and birds, beasts, insects, fish, and other creatures with simple life structures began to naturally emerge throughout the body's interior.

In just a moment, the entire inner world looked no different from the real world.

At this point, the inner world was fully formed.

Subsequently, the world power that had previously filled the entire inner world and had not been completely consumed during the world's evolution rapidly condensed into cosmic crystals.

In the blink of an eye, a colossal mountain, formed solely from cosmic crystals, appeared on the central continent.

It's no exaggeration to say that for many Realm Lords, the cosmic crystal mountain left after their inner world evolves upon reaching the Realm Lord level is more valuable than the wealth they had previously accumulated.

Just as when a realm lord enters immortality, the origin of the universe bestows infinite divine power to transform the divine body, this is the love and gift from the original will of the universe to every life.

As the world within his body undergoes transformation, Lu Jin's primordial core is also transforming.

The stronger the inner world becomes, the more powerful the primordial core, which is the vessel of the inner world, naturally needs to become.

Otherwise, how can you build skyscrapers if the foundation is unstable?
When the internal world transformed from 9 billion kilometers in length and width to 100 billion kilometers in diameter, the pronucleus naturally underwent a fundamental transformation.

"Rumble--"

Inside the primordial core, the torrents of spiritual energy and primal force had completely merged, evolving into a primordial bead according to the mysterious natural evolution of the universe.

The Origin Bead rotated slightly, releasing endless threads that connected to the primordial core.

At this moment, the pronucleus underwent a tremendous change.

From planetary level to domain lord level, the original core has always been covered with complex nine-colored secret patterns and blooming with nine-colored light, which is obviously extraordinary.

However, now that he has advanced to the realm master level and absorbed the essence of the inner world, the essence of the Origin Pearl, and the essence of the origin of the universe, his original core has become ordinary.

The nine-colored light completely disappeared, and the nine-colored runes completely disappeared.

If the original core weren't located inside the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the original core of a current World Lord level being a pebble on the roadside, at most just a bit rounder.

However, despite its unassuming appearance, the pronucleus is incredibly robust, far exceeding what most people can imagine.

It's no exaggeration to say that the hardest part of Lu Jin's body right now is his nucleus.

Ordinary, immortal attacks could not leave any mark on his original core, let alone shatter it.

"Shh!"

The figure of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone appeared in the inner world.

Immediately afterwards, the main body in the Abyss of Purgatory entered the World Ring, dropped a Kunlun Token, and then Lu Jin, with a thought, communicated with the Kunlun Mirror, sending the main body and the Water Qilin clone into the inner world.

With the primordial core undergoing transformation and the inner world undergoing transformation, it's time to upgrade the level of the main body and the two avatars.

The next moment, the power of the world surged forth, manifesting the main body with a body of over 90,000 kilometers and two avatars, all of whose auras began to surge rapidly.

Domain Lord Tier 1, Domain Lord Tier 2, Domain Lord Tier 9, Domain Lord Tier 9 Peak.

Once the life level reached the peak of the ninth rank of Domain Lord, the human body stopped further improvement.

Lu Jin has no plans to allow his main body to break through to the realm master level for the time being.

He wasn't going to miss out on the Virtual Universe Company's release of core members at the Domain Lord level.

This opportunity to be sent away from home is a chance for him to accumulate great merit, so that even if he commits countless killings in the future, he will not feel any remorse.

If he misses this opportunity, he'll have to wait until he's fully grown and qualified to participate in the highest-level human council.

He is the special envoy of the Virtual Universe Company stationed in the Tianshuang branch, a disciple personally taught by the ruler of Tianshuang Kingdom, and also has a plant life form with the strength of a king at its limit to protect him.

With these three factors combined, Lu Jin refused to believe that within the Tian Shuang Universe Kingdom, while he was accumulating great merit, there would be an existence he couldn't afford to offend that would jump out and stop him.

At the same time, after the Netherworld Blood Sea clone and the Water Qilin clone reached the level of Realm Lord, a large number of Immortal-level Life Source Crystals appeared, and the two clones began to rapidly increase their levels.

Once the original core level reaches the realm master level, both the main body and the two avatars can absorb the power of the world to advance to the first level of realm master.

However, if they want to continue to improve, the levels of the two clones need to be increased by absorbing resources such as life crystals or nutrient solutions.

Back then, he was short of money and didn't buy many Lord-level Zerg warrior corpses from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, so Lu Jin's pockets contained a limited number of Lord-level Life Source Crystals.

However, this is not a big deal. Life Source Crystals can be absorbed at a level higher than the previous one. A ninth-level Domain Lord at the peak should not absorb Immortal-level Life Source Crystals, but a first-level World Lord has no problem.

The Immortal-grade Life Source Crystals, which are in abundance, can be used to replace the World Lord-grade Life Source Crystals.

Lu Jin glanced at his two clones who were absorbing Immortal-level Life Source Crystals to upgrade their levels, then his thoughts shifted and his consciousness sank into the cheat space.

Having reached the level of Realm Lord, it's time for the long-awaited power-up!

The World Lord-level Nine-Colored Treasure Chest was opened, and after the nine-colored light dissipated, three items were obtained in addition to the Immortal-level Nine-Colored Treasure Chest.

A small, palm-sized, white jade gate-like building that looks very familiar.

A jade slip for inheritance.

A small pool, about the size of a palm, shimmering with ten colors.

Using my mental power to probe, I received basic information about the three items.

——Peach Garden (1/3): One of the three components of the Peach Garden, a special type of top-tier treasure. It is now a top-tier treasure and contains 1,200 high-quality peach trees (ripe and ready to be picked).

Absorbing the spiritual energy of the universe, the superior peach tree blossoms once every three thousand epochs, bears fruit once every three thousand epochs, and matures once every three thousand epochs.

Note: Each superior peach tree produces 99 superior peaches every nine thousand epochs. Each superior peach can double the level of life genes (10081 times and above are invalid), and is not subject to the rule of life genes up to 100 times below the level of the Lord of the Universe.

—The Inheritance Jade Slip of "Supernatural Power: Manipulating Creation": By using the Inheritance Jade Slip, one can master this supernatural power regardless of any conditions (limited to the first life to use the Inheritance Jade Slip).

It can create something from nothing, transform the essence of things, and create all things.

Note: Master it, and you will be the creator of all things in the world!
—Immortal Transformation Pool: A special treasure of the God-King level. Beings below the Chaos Ruler level can leave a divine power imprint in the Immortal Transformation Pool and be resurrected in it after death.

Limited by the primordial universe, it is currently only a treasure of true gods, unable to revive life forms that surpass the level of the Lord of the Universe, nor can it revive life forms below the level of immortality.

The Immortal Transformation Pool is connected to the origin of the universe and can automatically generate Divine Source Liquid. Reviving life requires the consumption of Divine Source Liquid.

Note: Within the primordial universe, the efficiency of the Divine Source Liquid produced by the Immortal Transformation Pool is equivalent to one hundred million times the efficiency of the universe master absorbing divine power in a perfect genetic standard divine body (over 90,000 kilometers).

Upon receiving feedback about the three items, Lu Jin raised an eyebrow.

As expected, the three main components of the Peach Garden were assembled.

Moreover, the upper limit of the efficacy of top-grade peaches is not a thousand times the life gene, but 10081 times the perfect life gene.

It's a pity that he can no longer use the top-grade peaches.

However, Lu Jin did not regret taking the more precious ginseng fruit earlier.

After all, he couldn't guarantee that a top-grade peach orchard could be obtained from a Lord-level treasure chest; he could only say that it was a possibility.

With perfect genes right in front of us, we certainly couldn't miss out, and a little waste wouldn't matter.

Supernatural power: Manipulating creation, somewhat reminiscent of the secret techniques of creating clones in the Netherworld Blood Sea.

However, Lu Jin knew that the secret technique of creating talent was not the same as manipulating creation.

Leaving aside the issue that the innate secret techniques will disappear after achieving true godhood, the level of manipulating creation alone is far beyond what the creation innate secret techniques can compare to.

In ancient myths and legends, the goddess Nuwa created humans and made them saints by using her magical powers of creation.

If the sages of the primordial world were placed within the Swallowed Star universe, they would likely be at the Hunyuan level.

After all, even the Qiankun Cauldron has a semi-primordial level, so there's no reason why a sage wouldn't reach the primordial level.

If we had to make a comparison, the Creation Talent Secret Technique could only be considered a super-weakened version of manipulating creation.

As for the Immortal Transformation Pool, Lu Jin had previously considered whether he could use his teacher's connections to borrow a powerful treasure from a certain influential figure, even at a cost.

But now, it's obvious that it's no longer needed.

The Immortal Transformation Pool is connected to the origin of the universe and can automatically produce divine source liquid with extremely high efficiency.

According to feedback, although Divine Essence Liquid cannot be used to increase life level, but only to restore energy, it is easily absorbed by living beings and can be taken out of the Immortal Pool for use, just like HP restoration potions in various games.

A low-grade primordial treasure with a single-element lower-level law attribute can increase the speed of divine power absorption by a thousand times.

High-grade primordial treasures with a single superior law attribute can increase the speed of divine power absorption by ten thousand times. Top-grade primordial treasures with fused laws, such as those with the attributes of Metal Void, Wood Void, and Light Time, can increase the speed of divine power absorption by one hundred thousand times.

Compared to the Immortal Transformation Pool, even top-tier primordial treasures pale in comparison!
Unless the user of this supreme primordial treasure has a divine power absorption efficiency a thousand times that of a perfect genetic standard divine body universe master.

With the Immortal Transformation Pool, which efficiently produces Divine Source Liquid, Zi Ni Chang's divine power shortage, though significant, can definitely be filled in the near future.

Moreover, unlike the original treasures that only take effect when actively used, the Immortal Transformation Pool can automatically produce Divine Source Liquid and can be carried with you at all times.

When fighting, as long as you have enough Divine Essence in your pocket, the effect will be no less than a player in the Rift fighting while carrying the fountain.

Besides, the most incredible thing about the Immortal Transformation Pool is its ability to revive the Lord of the Universe.

For a power with a true god in charge, the upper limit for reversing time and resurrecting is the top cosmic overlord.

However, for the future Heavenly Court, the upper limit of this resurrection level can be raised to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

Even if someone's strength is extraordinary, as long as they don't exceed the scope of a universe master, they are within the range of resurrection. At most, the only problem is that the divine source liquid required for resurrection is consumed in large quantities.

Then, the three items were removed from the external storage space.

Before long, Lu Jin mastered another supernatural power, recognized a special god-king-like treasure as his master, and a component of a peak treasure whose actual value far exceeded the level of a treasure.

"Shh!"

The next moment, Lu Jin's true form disappeared from his inner world and entered the Superior Peach Garden.

After scanning the area, Lu Jin found that the top-grade peach orchard didn't look much different from the mid-grade and low-grade peach orchards.

However, compared to the medium-grade peach tree, the height of the superior peach tree has increased from six meters to about seven meters, and the patterns on the trunk are no longer golden, but purple.

Moreover, the best-quality flat peaches are also larger, with a diameter of about five inches.

With a surge of mental power, in no time, all 118800 top-grade peaches from 1200 top-grade peach trees were picked by Lu Jin and stored in his absolutely safe external space.

It's no exaggeration to say that for Lu Jin now, creating a life form with perfect genes is not difficult.

It only takes 9 low-grade peaches, 90 medium-grade peaches, or 900 high-grade peaches to create a life form with a thousand times the genetic potential.

By further refining the 100 Beast God Crystals derived from the decomposition of 1000 Blood Crystals, and obtaining the ultimate level of Blood Crystal Power, an ordinary human can become a life form with 10081 times the perfect genes.

Moreover, Lu Jin was certain that with the Blood Luo Power at its limit, he could achieve perfect genes without needing a thousand times the genetic power.

In practice, perhaps seven or eight hundred top-grade peaches would be enough.

After harvesting the fruit, Lu Jin left the Superior Peach Garden and retrieved a Peach Garden from the consciousness of his Netherworld Blood Sea clone. This Peach Garden had fused two Peach Garden components and was of the same top-tier treasure level.

Soon, the two white jade gates overlapped and transformed into a single white jade gate with purple, gold, and silver patterns.

At this moment, the Peach Garden, with its three major components complete, became a unique and supreme treasure.

Lu Jin's consciousness seeped into the peach orchard and found that the orchard, which had expanded to 3600 mu, had 3,600 peach trees neatly arranged.

1200 top-grade peach trees are located in the central area, 1200 medium-grade peach trees are distributed around the top-grade peach trees in the central area, and the outermost layer consists of 1200 low-grade peach trees.

'It seems a broken mirror cannot be mended; the peach tree, once separated, can never be restored to its original form as a Ren-water peach tree.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Lu Jin originally thought that once all 3600 peach trees were gathered, they could return to their original state and transform into Ren Water peach trees, which were on par with ginseng fruit trees.

If it could be transformed into a Ren Water Peach Tree, then the upper limit of the Ren Water Peach's enhancement of life genes would surely exceed 10081 times.

Aside from the uncertainty regarding the 100,000-fold increase in life gene efficacy, the upper limit of the 90,000-fold increase in life gene efficacy should be fine, after all, the Ren Water Peach Tree is one of the top-grade spiritual roots in the primordial mythology.

But now it seems he was overthinking things.

However, it's not a big deal that he couldn't transform into a Ren Water Peach Tree. With the creation talent secret technique of the Netherworld Blood Sea clone and the newly acquired Divine Power of Manipulating Creation, achieving 100,000 times the life gene might be difficult, but it shouldn't be a problem for him for the rest of his life.

Subsequently, Lu Jin retrieved the Time Dragon Essence Blood that had been stored in the external storage space.

"Whoosh!"

Swept up by the power of the world, the essence of the Time Dragon soared into the sky and flew toward the central core of the inner world.

'Doppelgangers, gestation!'

With a thought, Lu Jin activated his supernatural powers, and his inner world began to nurture his third avatar with the essence of the Time Dragon.

"Rumble--"

In an instant, the entire inner world trembled, and endless world power surged wildly toward the ball of essence blood at the center of the entire world.

'Hiss~'

The essence of the Time Dragon vanished like mist in an instant, leaving only the most basic life matter enveloped by endless world power.

Before long, an oval-shaped, nine-colored giant egg with a diameter of ten kilometers appeared above the two worlds within the body.

"Tsk~, looks like it's still over 90,000 kilometers."

After examining the nine-colored giant egg, Lu Jin shook his head inwardly.

This drop of Time Dragon essence blood came from a Time Dragon of the first rank of Domain Lord. Later, when the Time Dragon clone appeared, it was also of the first rank of Domain Lord.

If a first-tier Domain Lord has a size of ten kilometers, then barring any unforeseen circumstances, once the Time Dragon's avatar reaches the peak of the ninth-tier Realm Lord level, its size will only be around a thousand kilometers. In the future, it will clearly be unable to surpass the size of a divine body of over ninety thousand kilometers.

It would take some time for both clones to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Realm Lord, so Lu Jin didn't want to waste any time.

He communicated with the Kunlun Mirror to locate the Kunlun Token within the initial universe, and then, by extending his perspective, easily obtained the Nine Universe Chaos Stele for free.

Immediately afterwards, through the resonance of the world's power, Lu Jin's consciousness instantly entered the origin of the universe.

Within a single speck of dust in the endless earth, Lu Jin felt the fluctuations of the ten fundamental laws that his consciousness sensed were clearer than ever before.

The origin of the laws is hidden in the origin of the universe. When consciousness descends to the origin of the laws of the universe, it can be said to be incredibly close to the origin of the laws of the universe compared to the past.

The sensation is naturally extremely clear.

Moreover, this state of being 'extremely close' will not conflict with one's own talent for cultivating laws; in fact, the actual effect is not additive but multiplicative.

For example, if the efficiency of an ordinary domain lord in comprehending the laws is 1, then when he enters the realm of a world lord, his consciousness descends to the origin of the universe, and the efficiency of comprehending the laws can be increased to several hundred.

Genius Domain Lords, due to their exceptional talent, can achieve a 100% efficiency in comprehending the laws. Once they enter the Realm Lord realm and their consciousness descends to the origin of the universe, their efficiency in comprehending the laws can reach tens of thousands.

It's no exaggeration to say that all the gains Lu Jin had made from comprehending the laws over the past hundred years could be accomplished in just a few months at the current efficiency.

'Tsk tsk~, if this continues, won't Luo Lao Er start to question the meaning of life?'

Lu Jin couldn't help but think to himself.

Hmm, he can't get cocky. This guy has the makings of a lord of Hunyuan.

If he doesn't become the Lord of Hunyuan, there's a possibility that Luo Feng will surpass him.

A week later, the Water Kirin clone and the Netherworld Blood Sea clone, having absorbed a large amount of Immortal-level Life Source Crystals, both raised their levels to the peak of the ninth rank of Realm Lord.

He will stay in this phase for a long time.

Even setting aside the task of comprehending the Ten Fundamental Laws, breaking through the shackles of the original core is no easy feat.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will need to create an ultimate secret technique, just like Luo Feng in the original story, to break through the shackles of the original core and thus enter immortality.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

As Lu Jin's thoughts raced, a massive amount of immortal-grade life essence crystals poured into his inner world.

Currently, the diameter of his inner world is a hundred billion kilometers, but this is only the lower limit of his inner world at the realm master stage, and it is still far from the upper limit.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

"Boom boom boom——"

With the towering cosmic crystal mountain on the central continent and the decomposition of a massive amount of immortal-grade life source crystals injected into the inner world, the inner world, with a diameter of hundreds of billions of kilometers, trembled and began a new round of expansion.

After a long time, when the diameter of the inner world reached trillions of kilometers, it finally stopped.

It wasn't that Lu Jin didn't want to continue expanding, but rather that a diameter of one trillion kilometers had already reached the maximum limit of his inner world.

With his inner world expanding to its limit, Lu Jin began to carefully examine the time required to nurture the Time Dragon clone.

The stronger the inner world, the lower the level of life and the higher the gene count, and the shorter the time required to create a clone.

Currently, the diameter of the world within the body is as high as one trillion kilometers. Although the Time Dragon clone it is nurtured has 1200 times the life genes, its level is only the first level of Domain Lord, so its efficiency must be extremely high.

"Three years?"

After a while, Lu Jin, who had sensed and calculated the approximate time required to nurture the Time Dragon clone, raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, the three-year gestation period was actually a bit beyond his expectations.

It should be noted that the Time Dragon is a special life form with 1200 times the life gene density.

Such a secret technique as the Golden Horned Beast's clone ability simply cannot be created.

Such high efficiency can only mean that his inner world is strong enough, and the genetic material of the Time Dragon is only at the first level of Domain Lord, which is much weaker than the level of his inner world.

The combination of these two factors resulted in the gestation period of only three years for the clone to develop.

Having settled his own affairs, Lu Jin changed his mind and used the Kunlun Mirror space travel to teleport his main body and the Water Qilin clone back to the world ring in the Purgatory Abyss world.

After leaving the World Lord's realm, the main body took out the Shenzhou spaceship and headed towards the outside of the Purgatory Abyss World.

Having fully comprehended the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of space and water, and having broken through to the level of Domain Lord, the cultivation mission at the cosmic level has come to an end.
