Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 74 The Origin and Flow of Time

Lu Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "If I upgrade my account's star rating, will it be possible to order the Divine Weapon from your bank?"

To become a four-star customer of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, you need a deposit of 10 Mixed Yuan Units.

In the short term, Lu Jin doesn't have the financial resources unless he sells the Blazing Pearl.

However, the Blazing Pearl is too valuable, and even if he became a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, he wouldn't dare to sell it, let alone now that he has no background.

This is a treasure that would drive even the most powerful beings in the universe to fight madly. What does the identity of a mere core member of a virtual universe company even matter?
Only powerful figures like the Lord of Chaos City could resist the temptation of such a treasure.

It's not that the Lord of Chaos City could ignore it, but an ordinary soul treasure is far from worth the Lord of Chaos City doing such a despicable thing.

Fortunately, although Lu Jin didn't have enough money, Hu Yanbo, who had been dead for tens of thousands of years, had a five-star account at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, which Luo Feng could inherit as soon as he reached the star level.

He possessed an E-level nutrient capsule, enough to quickly energize Luo Feng's human clone to a stellar level.

The blonde AI woman said, "The controller weapon is not easy to manufacture, and the major universe nations hold auctions quite frequently, so we do not sell it directly."

If customers are interested in purchasing, they can participate in the Elementary Qianwu Auction after October. This Elementary Qianwu Auction will feature a full range of Warrior Divine Weapons and Controller Divine Weapons.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin nodded, but did not purchase "The Mystic Codex of Radiance" and instead left the Cosmic Galaxy Bank directly.

Even if I buy the operating manual, it's useless if I don't get my hands on the divine weapon.

Moreover, Lu Jin was not in a hurry. The first level of the Nine Controllers' Divine Weapons had the same requirements for stellar-level mental cultivators: they all had to cross the threshold of the lower-level origin laws.

Currently, his mastery of the field of light has just reached the fourth level. Before the start of the Elementary Qianwu Auction, he certainly won't be able to cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of light. It won't make much difference if he gets it later.

Two months later.

Inside the World Ring, Lu Jin was cultivating.

Suddenly, Fatty's voice rang out: "Master, the old man is looking for you."

The virtual universe covers the entire primordial universe. Even if Lu Jin is cultivating inside the world ring, the old man can still contact Lu Jin through the virtual universe.

"I see."

Lu Jin nodded, said something, stopped cultivating, and returned to the outside world.

A short while later, in the study.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Lu Jin asked the old man.

"News has come from Hongning Base City that Hong and Thor have woken up."

Lu Yi said in a deep voice.

In the old man's memory, Hong and Thor, who possessed the power of a domain, were very strong.

Although their strength is certainly not comparable to Lu Jin's current level, they are still among the top-ranked experts on Earth.

He needed to ask Lu Jin for advice on how the Lu family should deal with the two of them in the future, and to establish a plan.

"If they're awake, they're awake. Considering their past achievements, we shouldn't suppress them."

Of course, if you have a grudge against those two, that's a different story; eliminating those two martial arts schools—these violent and illegal organizations—is also an option.

Lu Jin said, not caring much.

Although Hong and Thor were both very talented, according to the original storyline, before the end of this cycle of time, Thor became the ruler of the universe, and Hong even became a true god.

But by the time those two rose to power, he was either completely gone or already standing at the pinnacle of the universe, and he really didn't take them seriously.

Moreover, even the true god can only shake things up in the primordial universe and the cosmic sea.

Once you go to the Origin Continent, who are the True Gods anyway? They might not even be qualified to serve dishes in a restaurant.

Lu Yi shook his head: "That's not necessary. Since the Great Nirvana, Hong and Lei Shen's achievements have been recognized by the whole world. Unless there is a life-or-death feud, it is not advisable to fight them."

Moreover, with my Lu family now in control of the HR Alliance, the benefits are already substantial.

In the old man's view, the Lu family must never tarnish Lu Jin's noble reputation.

The family can no longer bring Lu Jin any benefit, and it would be a great injustice to hinder him further. Of course, it's not that the Lu family doesn't need more benefits, but rather that the meager benefits they have on Earth are no longer necessary.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The old man, now a planetary-level martial artist, sensed the servant knocking at the door and immediately spoke.

Soon, the servant pushed open the door and entered.

"Patriarch, former patriarch."

The attendant bowed and then said, "People from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy have come to say that Master Hong and Master Thunder God wish to visit us tomorrow morning."

There was nothing else to it; a new super strongman named Lu Jin had emerged on Earth, and Hong and Lei Shen, who had just woken up and understood the situation, were quite interested in him.

Moreover, Lu Jin's execution of Atkin, Sago Nehru, and others was a favor to both martial arts schools, preventing them from causing too much trouble.

Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Lu Jin.

"Grandpa, please take care of him."

Lu Jin waved his hand and said.

Hong is a bit of a scumbag, so Lu Jin doesn't plan to get involved with him.

If Hong and Lei Shen were here to flatter him, then Lu Jin was prepared to listen.

But neither of them are sycophants, so they probably won't fawn over him like lackeys.

Since there was no flattery to hear, and the conversation would mostly consist of trivial matters, Lu Jin didn't bother to greet him.

Time flies, and it's already mid-November.

Inside the World Ring, Lu Jin was fleecing his cosmic-level slaves.

"puff!"

"Oh!"

A dazzling white sword aura slashed out, instantly shattering the multiple shields formed by the 'Lightning Shuttle,' a low-grade fourth-tier lightning-type psychic weapon.

Lu Jin's white sword energy continued its momentum and struck Meng Wusi, who was unable to dodge in time.

"boom--"

A violent roar resounded, and Meng Wusi, wearing a fourth-tier low-grade Force battle suit, was blasted straight away, crashing heavily to the ground like a cannonball, creating a huge crater in the earth below.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light flashed, and a golden ball of light fell from Meng Wusi, who was stuck upside down at the bottom of the pit, and then disappeared.

Seeing this, Lu Jin's consciousness sank into the external space to investigate.

The golden light dissipated, and the golden ball of light transformed into a white book, upon which a golden light screen appeared.

[Dropped Item: Time Rift]

[Source of the item: Meng Wusi (from "Lightning Shuttle")]

[Drop Tier: Critical Hit Drop]

[Item Description: Time-based sidestepping technique, "The Origin of Time" is divided into two parts, the first part is for martial artists, and the second part is for mentalists.]

Both parts are divided into three sections: Flowing Light, Myriad Transformations, and Time Acceleration.

First level: Flowing Light, using the mastery of the laws of time to enhance burst speed.

The second level: Myriad Transformations. By mastering the laws of time to increase speed, one can distort one's own time and condense illusions to confuse opponents. At its peak, one can condense tens of thousands of illusions at the same time.

The third layer: Time acceleration, one of the three profound mysteries of the higher-level time laws.
