Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 124 The Initial Universe, Chaos City
"Your Highnesses, your journey has come to an end. I wish you both continued success in becoming powerful figures."

At this moment, Kandar said with a smile.

"Thank you for Mr. Candall's kind words."

"Thank you for protecting me all the way, sir."

Lu Jin and his companion expressed their gratitude, and then Kandal and the others left.

Then, two groups of people who seemed to have been waiting for a while came forward to greet them.

One group of three approached Luo Feng. Luo Feng had previously purchased some treasures in the treasure vault, and the agreed handover point was on the headquarters continent.

Another group of three approached Lu Jin, led by Aisna, who had long, wavy golden hair.

"Your Highness Lu Jin, welcome to the company headquarters on the mainland."

Aisna greeted them with a smile.

"Manager Esna, everything is inside."

As Lu Jin spoke, he handed Aisna a medium-sized world ring.

This world ring contains the Apocalypse Bright Light Tree that Lu Jin is preparing to sell, as well as all the immortal divine weapons he has accumulated over the years.

Taking the World Ring, Aisna took out a device to scan it, and a hazy light swept across the World Ring.

"drop--"

"The goods have been confirmed to be correct."

A mechanical beep sounded.

Immediately, Aisna's smile widened, and she said, "Your Highness Lu Jin, the acquisition contract is officially in effect, and the intelligent system has transferred the points to you."

'Master, your Virtual Universe Company account has received 6,012,645,000 points.'

As soon as Aisna finished speaking, Fatty's voice rang in Lu Jin's mind.

Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction. With this huge amount of points in hand, he wouldn't be short of points for a while, unless he used them to cultivate the strongest plant life form.

"If Your Highness has any treasures to sell in the future, you may contact me at any time."

Aisna said.

Undoubtedly, signing an acquisition agreement entails a performance-based bonus.

An order amounting to 600 million points is undoubtedly a large order, no smaller than the orders of ordinary King-level experts.

In addition, as an internal member of the Virtual Universe Company, Aisna also knew that Lu Jin had reached the seventh floor of the seventh trial tower in the Genius Battle.

Even without any major opportunities, as long as they don't die in the future, they can become major clients based on their abilities.

"sure."

Lu Jin smiled and nodded.

Afterwards, Aisna left with two subordinates.

After Lu Jin and his companion completed the handover, a red-haired woman stepped forward from among the dozen or so uniformed men and women who were waiting and said respectfully, "Your Highness Lu Jin, Your Highness Luo Feng, we are waiting here on His Majesty's orders. Please follow me, Your Highnesses."

Hearing the sound, the two followed the red-haired woman toward the front of the passage.

Before long, following the red-haired woman, the two arrived at a spacious oval hall.

"Lu Jin".

"Luo Feng."

"Light Demon".

"madman."

As soon as they entered, the two were greeted by many people.

"call--"

Just then, a pink figure ran over and threw herself into Lu Jin's arms.

"You miss me again so soon?"

Holding the girl's slender waist in his arms, Lu Jin said with a smile.

“Those in the virtual universe don’t count.”

Ai Chen shook his head.

After a pause, Ai Chen whispered in Lu Jin's ear, "Lu Jin, I'm an adult now."

In the Dreamwing Clan, the only criterion for determining whether a member has reached adulthood is that their life level has reached the cosmic level.

It is obvious that Ai Chen, who has advanced to the first level of the universe after the genius battle, has come of age.

My girlfriend said I'm an adult?

Tsk~, it's just that the timing isn't right right now, otherwise Lu Jin would definitely do something that would make a huge contribution to the development of the human race.

Although his life genes have reached a hundredfold, he is not a truly special life form.

Before reaching the Immortal level, the original body, still a being of flesh and blood, can still propagate the 'Radiant' bloodline.

Of course, not being able to reproduce before becoming immortal doesn't mean that they will absolutely be unable to have children in the future.

After achieving true godhood, the divine body is both energy and flesh and blood, and can still reproduce bloodlines, although it is just much more difficult to reproduce.

The stage where bloodlines cannot be propagated is only for the Immortals, the Cosmic Sovereigns, and the Lords of the Universe.

After exchanging greetings with the people present, Lu Jin pulled Ai Chen to a window seat in the hall, where they began to whisper sweet nothings to each other.

As time went on, more and more geniuses arrived.

Half a day later, all of the top 1000 in the Genius Battle had gathered.

Just as everyone had gathered, a tall, thin man with red eyes, dressed in a white robe, appeared in the hall and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, follow me."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed, red-eyed man unleashed his immortal divine power, carrying the 1000 geniuses present out of the hall.

A few minutes later, they flew to a strange spaceship parked on the lawn, and the man in white robes with red eyes finally put everyone down.

The spaceship parked on the lawn looked quite strange, like a giant, dark blue fish that was a kilometer long.

"Everyone, please get on the spaceship."

Urged on by the white-robed, red-eyed man, the group stepped into the giant fish spaceship.

Shortly after, in the hall, the ethereal Nine Swords Venerable surveyed the crowd and said, "Let's set off for the Primordial Universe."

‘Boom——’

The G-class bio-spaceship, resembling a giant fish, flicked its tail fin and vanished from its spot in an instant.

"stop!"

"It is I who open the cosmic passage."

"boom--"

A deep rumble sounded, the cosmic passage opened, and the giant fish spaceship swam in.

Suddenly, Lu Jin felt a sudden, inexplicable discomfort, and the scenery in his vision became blurry, causing him to frown.

"wrong!"

"what's the situation?"

"So sad."

Compared to Lu Jin, who possesses a hundred times the life genes and a hundred times the amplitude, the other geniuses seem rather pathetic, with most even having trouble standing up.

"It'll be fine soon."

Seeing that Ai Chen's face was pale, Lu Jin pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear.

"We are now in the passage between the initial universe and the primordial universe. The time flow rates of the two universes are different, causing the time flow rate within the passage to be disordered, which will make you feel a little uncomfortable."

The Nine Swords Venerable offered an explanation.

After saying that, the Nine Swords Venerable gave Lu Jin an approving look.

He truly deserves to be his chosen apprentice; he's exceptional.

Well, after the little guy has gone to the Tongtian Bridge plane and demonstrated his achievements, I, the Venerable One, will descend to take him as a disciple.

In this way, the renowned teacher is delighted to have gained such a fine student, a cause for celebration.

Is the Venerable One of Space unsuitable to teach geniuses who are comprehending the laws of time?
fart!
As a Space Venerable, my mastery of the laws of time is indeed not among the best.

But teaching a cosmic-level little guy is more than enough.

Moreover, my Nine Swords are not without time-based, peak-level soul servants.

After about five or six minutes, the strange discomfort disappeared, and the giant fish spaceship had entered the initial universe.

Then, at the instruction of the Nine Swords Venerable, the metal roof of the spaceship's main hall separated, revealing the outermost layer, which resembled transparent glass.

At first glance, Lu Jin could only see some dim, chaotic air currents drifting outside.

In the distance, the sky would occasionally crack open with spatial rifts, and at the edges of these rifts, colorful threads with strange and mysterious patterns would appear.

'It feels significantly inferior to the Primordial Law Monument?'

Looking at the threads of primordial laws manifesting in the primordial universe, Lu Jin thought to himself.

Of course, while an incomplete Origin Law Stele may have a stronger effect on comprehension, it also has a certain upper limit to comprehension.

The Primal Law Tablet can only be effective when one's understanding of the laws is below the level of the Law Tablet; otherwise, it is useless.

Before long, with the instructions of the Nine Swords Venerable, the giant fish spaceship flew over a magnificent ancient city.

Then, the hatch located in the belly of the fish opened, and Lu Jin and the others flew out.

After Lu Jin and the others left, the hatch closed, and the giant fish flicked its tail fin and disappeared into the horizon.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a black-robed man with blue scales covering his head flew in.

"Everyone, I am the reception envoy of Chaos City."

"Chaos City has existed for longer than most of the universe nations you live in, and is currently jointly managed by Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Arena Universe Mercenary Alliance."

"."

The black-robed envoy was very competent, leading the group while explaining the history of Chaos City and various points of attention.

Led by the black-robed messenger, the group arrived at the magnificent and imposing city lord's mansion.

The black-robed messenger continued to explain: "Chaos City is the only city in the initial universe."

"Chaos City has three treasures."

"The first of the three treasures, as everyone has seen, is the law of the universe that can be seen with the naked eye."

"As for the second treasure..."

"If you can comprehend a Chaos Stele, you will directly become true super beings in the universe. Even if you want to establish a cosmic kingdom, it will be a piece of cake."

"There are 52 Chaos Steles. Every cultivator who enters the initial universe has one opportunity to study them, and each person has seven days to study them!"

"."

"Come in, everyone, and prepare to choose which Chaos Stele to observe."

With that, the black-robed envoy led the group into the city lord's mansion.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.

Looking around, one can see huge paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

Each picture is a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, totaling 52 pieces.

"Each of you may only choose one Chaos Stele to observe and comprehend."

“There are 52 rubbings of pictures hanging on the walls of the corridor, each picture corresponding to a Chaos Stele.”

“Look at these pictures first. Although the rubbings cannot perfectly convey the aura contained in the Chaos Stele, they can still allow you to barely sense it.”

"Look at these 52 pictures, and then decide which Chaos Stele to choose. You have half an hour."

"That's what the black-robed messenger said."

'Fatty, remind me every 30 seconds.'

Lu Jin gave an instruction to Fatty, and then asked him to choose a rubbing of the Chaos Stele to look at.

As time went by, Lu Jin walked past one rubbing after another.

Giant Axe, Universe, Nine Universes, Mother Ancestor, Heart Mark, Dragon Walk, Wind Shadow, Yanshan, Extreme Universe, Heavenly Ruins, Repairing Radiance, Dark Absolute, Darkness, Ice Peak, Netherworld Marquis, Void Gold, Lanzang, Desolate Mirror, Peng Gong, Qingdong.
