Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 120 Loyalty! Heading to the Extraterritorial Battlefield
As it devoured everything, the central black hole of the vortex galaxy began to grow larger and larger, and all objects, including the eight smaller black holes, were constantly moving closer to it.

After a long time, the entire spiral galaxy was swallowed up by the central black hole.

The vast starry sky inside the protocore was reduced to a single, enormous black hole.

"Wow—"

Suddenly, the supermassive black hole began to collapse from the inside out, and the black hole region within the original core space shrank rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the supermassive black hole collapsed completely and disappeared.

Instead, there was a simple, gray sphere.

Immediately afterwards, the gray sphere expanded rapidly, becoming larger and larger.

Before long, when the gray sphere grew to the same size as the entire primordial space, it silently merged with the primordial nucleus.

At this moment, the original core level has reached the level of domain master.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the desolate beast realm 910 million light-years away from Earth.

Above the central continent of the secret realm, the Time Avatar stored the Radiant Spaceship in its World Ring and stuffed all its items into its external storage space.

Subsequently, with a thought, Shichen's body, which was essentially just an energy form, vanished and dissipated into the surrounding world.

The next moment, the world inside the pronuclear body.

"Whoohoo-"

Above the rapidly expanding Nine-Colored Continent, as the Nine-Colored Mist dissipates, the Time Clone, which committed suicide in the Wild Beast Secret Realm a moment ago, is resurrected in its inner world.

The Wild Beast Realm is 910 million light-years away from Earth. Even traveling through the dark universe at 5.5 times the speed of light aboard the Radiant Spaceship would take two months.

Rather than traveling for two months, it would be better to have the Time-Shattering Avatar commit suicide, then revive in the inner world and return directly to Earth.

In any case, the only thing the clone consumes when resurrecting is the nine-colored mist transformed from the cosmic crystal, so resurrecting once doesn't cost much money.

After being resurrected, the Time Clone also began to devour the nine-colored mist to break through to the Domain Lord level and continue to increase its life level.

half a month later.

The world within the protocore expanded to the limit of the domain lord stage, and everything returned to calm.

At this time, the Nine-Colored Continent had expanded to a massive 90 kilometers in length and width.

Meanwhile, the life level of the Time Clone also rose to the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord after absorbing a large amount of nine-colored mist.

The life genes of the hour are multiplied by eight hundred times, and the body amplitude is multiplied by one hundred times.

In terms of basic strength alone, the Time Clone of a Domain Lord at the peak of the ninth rank is already about 40 times stronger than that of a Realm Lord at the peak of the ninth rank.

It is no exaggeration to say that most world lord-level beings in the universe are no match for Shichen's clone.

Then, Lu Jin turned his gaze to the nine-colored giant egg in the sky above the Nine-Colored Continent, which was nurturing the avatar of the Eternal Tree.

Initially, within the body world at the limit of the cosmic stage, a stellar-level avatar of the Eternal Tree was conceived, with the avatar taking approximately 120 years to develop.

Although the nascent stellar-level Eternal Tree clone was forcibly changed to a cosmic-level Eternal Tree clone due to the upgrade of the original core level to the domain lord level.

However, now that the inner world has reached the limit of the Domain Lord stage, the time required for the avatar to develop has been greatly reduced. In addition, the previous eight years of development time cannot be considered a complete waste.

After careful perception, Lu Jin calculated the approximate time when the Eternal Tree's avatar would appear.

—About 28 years later!

According to the original timeline of the universe, the avatar of the Eternal Tree will be born around July 2099 in the Chinese calendar.

'4800 times the genetic potential, that's quite fast.'

Lu Jin thought to himself.

Inside the World Ring.

"Fatty, find out how to get to the extraterritorial battlefield."

Lu Jin gave the instructions to Fatty.

The avatar's level reached the peak of the ninth rank of Domain Lord, and its strength was even above that of an ordinary peak ninth rank World Lord.

With the innate secret technique 'Mastering Time', he could even save his life in front of a realm lord who had gained the recognition of a lower-level primordial law.

With this level of strength, you can go to the outer battlefields to slay monsters.

The extraterritorial battlefield is a place that values ​​martial ethics. When joining the army, even if one's own immortals are defeated, the alien immortals generally will not slaughter members below the level of one's own immortals.

It wasn't that the alien immortals were kind-hearted; it was mainly that they didn't take the little Karami, except for the geniuses, seriously.

With a high survival rate and a certain level of safety, the Time-Based Clone doesn't need to frequently die and revive, wasting time running back and forth. The Extraterrestrial Battlefield is a good place for practical combat training and looting.

After all, the legion warfare in the outer battlefield is based on the legion lineup of the human race.

Every well-organized army has one immortal, 100 realm lords, 1000 domain lords, and 10000 cosmic-level warriors. There are quite a few that meet the criteria for the cheat's drop target.

Soon, Fatty reported: "Master, the best route from Earth to the extraterritorial battlefield is to go to 'Guicang Star,' which is about 17500 million light-years away from Earth and is located in the territory of the Starry Sky Universe Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

According to publicly available information from the virtual universe, 'Guicang Star' is one of the eight major logistics bases of the human race in the outer battlefield, and has divine kingdom teleportation channels leading to eleven outer battlefields.

The Glorious spacecraft, traveling at 5.5 times the speed of light in the dark universe, will take approximately three years and two months to reach Guicang Star.

"This is Guizang Star."

Lu Jin nodded.

Humanity's territory is vast, with only eight logistics bases for extraterritorial battlefields. One of these logistics bases is located in a neighboring cosmic country, and it is only 17500 million light-years away from Earth, which is already considered quite lucky.

Moreover, during the three years and two months of travel, the Time Clone was still able to cultivate as usual.

Subsequently, Lu Jin recruited 108 cosmic-level Black Mongol slaves under his command.

"Master!" Hei Yi and the others bowed respectfully.

Lu Jin said, "I have something to tell you. I have joined Virtual Universe Company and will be going to the company's headquarters soon for training."

"Congratulations, master!"

Hei Yi and the others immediately offered their congratulations.

Virtual Universe Company?

This is a colossal force within the human race; if the master can join, his future will be limitless.

Nodding slightly, Lu Jin announced in a deep voice, "Your return date is uncertain. From now on, you are free."

As his own strength increased, even if he was just a target for exploiting others, Lu Jin began to feel that Hei Yi and the others were not rich enough.

Moreover, Hei Yi and the others had never been exposed to his secrets. Considering how much he had taken advantage of them in the past, Lu Jin decided to show some kindness and grant them their freedom.

Upon hearing the words "You are free," everyone was overjoyed.

There is no doubt that no one would willingly become a slave if they had enough to eat and wear.

But when they thought about what to do next, they felt extremely lost.

They are homeless and have nowhere to go.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Meng Yi knelt down and said, "Master, I have nowhere to go. Please take me in."

Making a living on your own?
It's never as good as following a master with a promising future.

Being a slave sounds shameful, but it depends on whose slave you are.
Aside from occasionally forcibly guiding their strength, their master, who has a bright future and never mistreats them, can be considered the perfect master in the eyes of all slaves.

And it's a bit of a shame that they are somewhat unpromising.

Even with their master's frequent guidance, they still failed to comprehend the power of the domain.

"Boom boom boom——"

The other 107 slaves also knelt down in unison.

What good is freedom if they have nowhere to go?
Following a master with a promising future is the only truly bright path! Who knows, you might even become a domain lord someday!

With such a generous master, as long as they remain loyal, they will surely not be treated unfairly.

After a moment's thought, Lu Jin said, "Very well, I will return to Earth in a thousand years at most."

During this time, you must protect Earth and my family. Upon my return, I will grant you the opportunity to become domain lords.

In the future, when his true self reaches the level of a Domain Lord and is appointed as the Inspector of a branch of the Virtual Universe Company, he can easily turn a handful of trash into Domain Lords.

"Thank you, Master!"

Everyone bowed and thanked them with great excitement.

Look, isn't the opportunity here?
Our generous and magnanimous master! We will be absolutely loyal to you for the rest of our lives!

Your will is our direction!

Jiangnan Base City, Lu Family.

The avatar that maintained Lu Jin's original appearance left the World Ring and flew into outer space, heading towards Tianlan Star.

'Shuh! '

Just as the avatar left the World Ring, on a meteorite in the starry sky several light-years away from Earth, Venerable Zi'e, who had incorporated the entire solar system into his perception, opened his eyes.

"Ninth-level Domain Lord?"

Venerable Zi'e was somewhat bewildered.

As the soul servant of the Chaos City Lord, although he was just a henchman, he knew about the Virtual Universe Company's cultivation plan for core geniuses.

The Genius Battle just ended, and you've already broken through to the Domain Lord level? Are you not planning to go through the mission world training phase?
Having passed the initial chaotic city period of the universe, he wants to be sent out to become a 'regional governor'?
Seeing Lu Jin board the spaceship and leave Earth, Venerable Zi E was preparing to secretly follow him.

But at that moment, Lu Jin himself also obtained the World Ring.

He was about to depart for the initial universe, and he had to say goodbye to the old man and the others.

"???"

After glancing at the Domain Lord-level Lu Jin inside the spaceship in the starry sky, and then at the Universe-level Lu Jin on Earth, Venerable Zi'e was stunned.

"A clone?!"

Soon, Venerable Zi'e realized what was happening.

It's not that Venerable Zi'e was slow to react; the main reason was that he never expected that Lu Jin, a human and from an indigenous planet, would possess the secret technique of creating clones.

Immediately, Venerable Zi'e separated a wisp of his consciousness to log into the virtual universe and report the situation to the Lord of Chaos City.

Before long, Venerable Zi'e received instructions from the Lord of Chaos City.

—Continue to secretly protect Lu Jin, a cosmic-level figure on Earth.

Having cleared seven trial towers, Lu Jin possesses a high-multiplier soul amplitude and is suspected of having a great opportunity or mysterious inheritance. He also has a clone technique.

The Lord of Chaos City was very pleased and had even greater confidence in Lu Jin's future.

The mortality rate for geniuses is high, but those with the secret technique of creating clones are not so easily killed.

Given Lu Jin's venerable status, if he were to give birth to a special life clone with an extremely high multiplier of life genes, perhaps the human race could usher in its fourth top-tier cosmic overlord.
Once this little guy enters the initial universe and passes my 'discerning eye,' I'll find him an excellent teacher and try my best to cultivate him into a pillar of the race's future.
