Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 160 Arrangements for "Various Matters"

"A prisoner?!" King Zhenyan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He had naturally heard of "prisoners in the Ice Prison".

That's the greatest legend in the Ice Prison Star Belt!

It is said that although the two Venerable Qingzi Kou would kill most intruders, they would imprison some powerful immortals with special abilities in the "Ice Prison".

"But I am an invincible king! Are you sure they will imprison me in the Ice Prison instead of killing me directly?" King Zhenyan hurriedly asked.

Could the prison of those two Venerable Ones still hold someone who has been granted the title of King Invincible?

"Don't worry about that!" Hu Yanbo laughed. "I have my own plans!"

"So, how's this cell? Are you going to sit down or not?"

Looking at Huyan Bo's confident smile, and recalling his incredible methods before, and knowing that this might be his only chance to break through to the Venerable realm in this lifetime, King Zhenyan was filled with pride: "Sit! Why not sit! I've already said, as long as it doesn't go against the human race, I'll definitely help if I can!"

"Besides, going to jail? Just consider it a life experience!"

He patted his chest, looking ready to take the plunge: "So, what exactly do you want me to do inside? You can't really expect me to go on vacation, can you?"

"Of course it's not a vacation." Hu Yanbo's expression turned slightly serious. "But I'll tell you the details later!"

The issue of ensuring the safe imprisonment of the True King still requires coordination.

Therefore, Hu Yanbo refrained from speaking until everything was properly arranged.

"Fine! You're the one who laid out the plan, so you call the shots!" King Zhenyan waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright! Then you can wait patiently." Hu Yanbo nodded in satisfaction.

The communication ended, and Hu Yanbo's three-dimensional projection slowly dissipated.

Inside the rest pod, King Zhenyan was alone. The boldness on his face gradually transformed into a strange yet expectant smile. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Hey, I have to say, I've roamed the universe and ventured into countless secret realms and perilous places in my life, but this is truly my first time being imprisoned!"

"It's said that our human race's prisons are full of talented people, and they speak very pleasantly. I wonder if the ice prison of the Kobolds is the same?"

Within the Divine Kingdom, after concluding his communication with King Zhenyan, Huyanbo immediately contacted the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds through the dark golden Ancestral God Token and informed him of some of the details.

There was nothing he could do. Hu Yanbo originally wanted to communicate directly with the Ancestral God, but the Ancestral God was in seclusion and wouldn't answer the phone.

The only way to convey this message is through the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, or the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds may have the authority to decide!

After listening quietly to Hu Yanbo's request, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds remained silent for a moment before replying, "Targeting Tianlang? You need the help of my Ancestral God Sect? Hu Yanbo, you have quite the audacity and appetite."

Even the ancient and serene Lord of the Nine Netherworlds felt a surge of emotion within him at this moment.

Judging from this, Huyanbo is determined to take Tianlang's life completely!

What alarmed him even more was that, upon careful analysis, the chances of the plan succeeding were actually quite high!

The key lies in the bait!

Since the three ancestral gods decided to reduce the issuance of Beast God Inheritance Orders within the territory of the demon race and its alliances, the price of Beast God Inheritance Orders within the demon race has inevitably risen.

At this time, if a Beast God Inheritance Token happens to appear, and it belongs to an outstanding junior member of the clan, then the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf will most likely take action personally!

The reason is simple: among all the members of the Sirius clan, only the Lord of Sirius himself and the Venerable Tianhua can communicate on equal terms with "Zi Kou Venerable, one of the 72 Divine Generals".

Now, Venerable Tianhua has perished in the Nine Netherworld, and all his treasures have fallen into the hands of Huyan Bo. After being resurrected, he is in a "blank" state, a top overlord reduced to an ordinary overlord, and naturally has neither the qualifications nor the ability to negotiate.

So, who else but the Lord of Sirius would have the motive, the qualifications, and the power to handle this matter?

This will be an open conspiracy!

Hmm, a calculated scheme unknown to the demon race.

"The demons are right, how treacherous Huyan Bo is!" The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, far away in the Ancestral God Sect, felt a chill run down his spine!

"Poor Sirius!"

"He can manipulate even the ruler of the universe!"

"One thing leads to another. If he becomes the master of the universe, his title should simply be 'Lord of Insidiousness'! Forget about 'Lord of Soul Annihilation'!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds felt that the entire plan seemed to be being led by the nose by Hu Yanbo, as if the Ancestral God Sect and the Demon Clan were being led by the nose without his knowledge.

If the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds hadn't known that the core reason—the three Ancestral Gods' decision to reduce the issuance of Beast God Inheritance Orders in the Demon Realm—stemmed from the Lord of the Netherworld's petty tricks against Huyan Bo within the Ancestral God Sect, which had angered the Ancestral God Sect.

This decision was made by the ancestral gods based on maintaining the dignity of the ancestral god religion, and it is absolutely, absolutely unpredictable and uncontrollable.

If this can be manipulated, then the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds might as well switch sides and join the human camp!

If the Ancestral God Cult has become a toy, then Jiuyou might as well join the human world. At least he would feel safer there, and Huyan Bo wouldn't betray humanity!

"After all, a mere Beast God Inheritance Token could potentially lead to the downfall of a Universe Lord!"

"What if I say something wrong to this guy? I'll be plotted against to death by him!" The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds felt a chill in his heart and became wary of Huyan Bo, who was not yet the Lord of the Universe.

They are extremely wary!

He also feared the unknown, and the profound calculations that manipulated situations, people's hearts, and even the rules.

He can create avatars indefinitely, but he doesn't want to be schemed against and die every time he goes out!

These complex thoughts and a chill were nothing more than a fleeting ripple to the vast, star-filled consciousness of the Lord of the Universe.

In reality, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds' voice remained calm and indifferent, showing no sign of abnormality. Following his previous train of thought, he said to Hu Yanbo, "This matter is of great importance, and it involves the 72 Divine Generals and the Demon Clan. I cannot make a decision on this matter."

"However, I will report your intentions to the ancestral gods as they see fit, and they will make the decision. Please wait a moment."

In fact, if this risk of dragging the Ancestral God Sect into the mess were borne by any other guardian deity, or even a guardian beast god, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds would not need to consult the Ancestral God at all; he would simply refuse outright.

But when faced with Huyan Bo, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds hesitated.

Besides not wanting to offend Huyan Bo over such a trivial matter, another reason was that when the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, under the orders of the Two-Faced Ancestral God, handed over the supreme treasure armor called the Golden Lotus Divine Armor to Huyan Bo, he had subconsciously taken a look at it.

That one glance was enough to deeply shock even this ancient master of the universe!

All I can say is that if it weren't for the fact that the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds relied relatively little on supreme treasures and had always been a "blank slate" while venturing out, he would have been jealous!

Because he had personally witnessed the great affection the three ancestral gods showed to Huyanbo, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds did not refuse outright. Instead, he chose to report this thorny matter to the ancestral gods and let them decide for themselves.

"Thank you for your help, Divine Lord," Huyanbo replied.

That's right, the demon race universe master that Hu Yanbo has targeted this time is none other than the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf!

Choosing it was a well-thought-out decision.

Among all the second-tier universe lords, the Lord of Sirius's attack methods are not outstanding, his defense is not top-notch, and his willpower and consciousness are his obvious weaknesses.

In the original story, after the giant axe fell, in the first great battle between humans and demons, only the Lord of Sirius and the Lord of Ink Tablet were caught off guard and severely arrested. They were even imprisoned in the Black Prison Tower, still drooling and not yet fully conscious.

It's easy to imagine that these two are probably the weakest in will and consciousness among the demon race's universe lords.

The Lord of Sirius's greatest reliance is that top-grade palace-like treasure—the Sirius Palace!

Once he successfully hides in the Sirius Palace, with the powerful defense of the palace's treasures, almost no one in the primordial universe can do anything to him; it can be called a life-saving trump card.

But conversely, this is precisely his biggest and most fatal weakness!

Because this powerful life-saving ability depends entirely on an external object!

If we can create an environment of absolute suppression before he enters the Sirius Palace, or interfere with his communication with the Sirius Palace so that he has no time to react, then the difficulty of killing a Sirius Lord whose strength is not particularly outstanding will be greatly reduced.

In contrast, the other Demon Lord, who has been plagued by bad luck ever since meeting Huyan Bo, is much more troublesome.

The Lord of the Netherworld is also a second-order universe lord, but his true form is a "floating void," possessing extraordinary talent and extremely strong life-saving abilities.

If it senses danger, it can instantly transform into endless black energy to escape, making it difficult to lock onto or completely kill. Its slipperiness far surpasses that of the Sirius Lord, who relies on external objects.

To deal with the Lord of the Dark Demons, we need a special method that can be applied to a wide area and can counter its ability to become ethereal, but the uncertainty is too great.

So you didn't expect that, did you!

The unlucky one was actually Tianlang, who had never met Huyanbo!

Hu Yanbo sat quietly within the divine realm, and before long, the Ancestral God's Decree delivered a reply from the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

"Huyanbo".

"The Ancestral God said that the arrangements regarding your friend's imprisonment in the Ice Prison have been finalized with Venerable Zikou. He will follow established practice," and capture your invincible, king-level friend, and imprison him in the Ice Prison.

"But that's all. As for anything that follows, Venerable Qingzi Doukou will not help!"

"That's enough, thank you, Divine Lord!" Hu Yanbo wanted this safe passage into the Ice Prison. As for help, what can a mere Purple-Haired Venerable do?

After finishing the important business, Huyan Bo suddenly asked, "Lord God, speaking of the three Ancestral Gods, are they really in seclusion? How come you received a reply so quickly after you went to report?"

There was no reply from the other end of the communication.

Just as Hu Yanbo thought the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds didn't want to deal with this kind of problem and was about to put away the Ancestral God Token, the Ancestral God Token sent another message.

"Yes! The Ancestral God is indeed in seclusion!"

"I only came out of seclusion urgently because of your matter!"

Communication was then interrupted.

Meanwhile, within the Divine Realm, Hu Yanbo put away the Ancestral God's Decree with satisfaction and said softly, "He says he's going into seclusion, but his actions speak louder than words."

"It seems the three ancestral gods still 'love' me!"

With the preliminary steps of the plan completed, Hu Yanbo no longer needed to delay.

First, he contacted King Zhenyan and explained the matters that needed to be done after being imprisoned, and then sent King Zhenyan into the Wuhua Secret Realm.

After sending off the True King, Hu Yanbo devoted his main energy to another important task: establishing the Chaos Stele.

If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way.

To lure the Heavenly Wolf in the Ice Prison into a trap, and in turn attract the Lord of the Heavenly Wolf, it is necessary to make him take the initiative to contact the True King.

This period of time was precisely used to complete the creation of the Chaos Stele.

A majestic divine kingdom, above the endless dark sea.

Hu Yanbo's human form sat cross-legged in mid-air, with upgraded precious materials provided by the Lord of Chaos City floating in front of him. These materials were enough to carry the vast information of the complete Path of the Beast God.

"The core of establishing the Chaos Monument lies in guidance." Hu Yanbo closed his eyes and concentrated.

"The path we have created needs to be broken down into layers that progress gradually from shallow to deep, so that those who seek enlightenment can climb step by step until they finally glimpse the full picture of the laws of fusion."

"And as for the path I've chosen, I've already decided on the direction!"

Hu Yanbo has already confirmed his direction—the "Golden Beast God Chaos Stele," a treasure trove of knowledge that fully elucidates the path of fusion between the Golden Beast God and the Void Beast God!

In fact, after the Giant Axe Conference, Hu Yanbo informed the Lord of Chaos City and the founder of the Giant Axe of his plan to create the "Golden Beast God Chaos Stele".

The two human leaders reacted with a mixture of surprise and delight upon hearing the news!

Without any hesitation, nor did the two ask any unromantic questions such as where Hu Yanbo's insights into the laws came from.

Actions speak louder than words!

The founder of Giant Axe stated on the spot that all materials were supplied with the highest standards of the tribe, and the 100 Treasure Points previously lent to Huyanbo were directly converted into a free gift!

Furthermore, Huyanbo's loan limit in the clan's treasure trove has been significantly increased!

In the words of the founder of the Great Axe, "Whatever is needed, the tribe will provide full support!"

Otherwise, how could we call him the leader of the human race?

No further questions asked, only support!

Strongly support!

"In that case, we must not betray this trust." Hu Yanbo composed himself and focused his mind.

Only a sliver of consciousness remained connected to the virtual universe, awaiting news from the True King.

He stretched out his finger, the tip of which shimmered with the brilliant light of laws, and began to slowly carve on the massive monument material.

The first and second images embody the purest and most fundamental principle of "the sharpness of metal," guiding the learner step-by-step to build a solid foundation in the principles of metal.

Starting with the third image, the concept of "the mystery of emptiness" is introduced, and the profound meaning of the laws of space is explained.

Huyan Bo's idea was extremely ingenious.

To truly embark on the path of law fusion, in addition to having a profound understanding of the law of metal, one must also have a deep understanding of the law of space.

Without fully comprehending the 108 essential principles of the laws of space, it is simply impossible to achieve the fusion of metal and space!

Except for Huyanbo himself!

Therefore, Hu Yanbo laid the groundwork in the early diagrams, subtly guiding the learners to think about the intrinsic connection between the law of metal and spatial fluctuations.

Only in this way can one achieve twice the result with half the effort and accomplish things naturally when encountering the true fusion diagram later on. If the foundation is not solid, forcing one to comprehend fusion will be extremely inefficient.

And in each of these seemingly progressive illustrations, Hu Yanbo's own vast and magnificent beast god artistic conception is deeply imprinted!

Hu Yanbo's current level of mastery in the Golden Void Beast God Path is absolutely inconceivable.

Even Hu Yanbo himself felt that even if the Primordial Golden Beast God, who had long since perished, were to be resurrected at this moment, its understanding and manifestation of the laws of origin fusion would probably be no more than this!

He even vaguely felt that the primordial will of the universe seemed to have perfectly reproduced the unique fusion law authority belonging to the innate metal beast god in his own body!

What he depicted was not only the trajectory of the laws, but also the artistic conception of "the innate golden beast god living"!

How should I put it!

Looking at the Chaos Stele, Luo Feng realized that his cultivation there would be a huge leap forward compared to the original "Nine Universes Chaos Stele"!

Every mark on that diagram seems to possess a life of its own, silently illustrating the sharpness that tears the universe apart, demonstrating the mysteries of spatial transformation, and ultimately returning to the supreme harmony of the unity of gold and space.

As Hu Yanbo moved his fingertips, an invisible vortex of laws began to gather above the divine kingdom, with golden and silver light intertwining and emitting bursts of the laws' emanations.

The endless dark sea surged and roared, creating towering waves.

Hu Yanbo was completely immersed in this profound state of "creating the Dao," his mind and the laws merging perfectly.

He inscribed his entire understanding of the Way of Golden-Void Fusion, without reservation and systematically, onto this Chaos Monument that carries the future of humanity.

Time slipped away quietly during this process of creating the law.
