Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 177 Divine Power Flow, First Level, Prepare!

Virtual universe, in front of the Giant Axe Temple.

A chaotic current flowed slowly, and on both sides of a long stone table, and at one end, were placed thrones of ancient design, each exuding a different aura and aura of power.

Two towering figures appeared almost simultaneously within the chaotic airflow. They were none other than the creator of the giant axe and Huyan Bo.

The founder of the giant axe strode forward, heading straight for the only main seat on the long stone table—the one located at one end of the table. He gazed intently at the empty seats, seemingly deep in thought.

Hu Yanbo then habitually walked towards his original seat—the one located in the middle left of the long stone table, alongside the thrones of the Chaos City Lord, Lord Peng Gong, and others, but positioned relatively far back.

"All things in the universe".

Just as Huyanbo was about to walk to his former throne, the founder of the giant axe's calm voice rang out, stopping him.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo stopped and looked at the Giant Axe Founder on the main seat with a hint of doubt.

The founder of the giant axe smiled, raised his finger, pointed to the other side of his long stone table, and then a huge throne rose up.

"Just sit there."

"Alright." Hu Yanbo's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the throne that the Giant Axe Founder had pointed to.

Before sitting down, his gaze swept over the back of the throne beneath him.

At the center of the relief is a slightly blurred figure that exudes an aura of endless mystery. He stands quietly, and beside him, slightly behind, stands the profile of an old man who bows his head slightly.

At the edge of the relief, the outlines of two figures fleeing in a panic and in a disheveled state can be vaguely seen.

Hu Yanbo smiled; the relief was quite fitting for the occasion.

Not long after.

For example, "—如"

'

The chaotic air currents were disturbed by a series of incomparably powerful auras, and one after another, towering figures emerged from the void.

However, when they appeared, their eyes scanned back and forth between the two ends of the long stone table.

At one end is the greatest being of the tribe—the founder of the giant axe.

On the other end, however, is—the Lord of All Things, Huyan Bo?!

"this----?"

"What happened?"

"Why is Wanxiang sitting there?"

A series of divine thoughts, some shocked, some doubtful, and some inquiring, were rapidly exchanged among the various universe lords.

Although no one spoke, the subtle atmosphere permeating the chaotic airflow said it all.

Peng Gongzhi's chubby face, which always wore a kind smile, was now filled with astonishment.

As he walked towards his throne, he couldn't help but send a telepathic message to the Chaos City Lord, who was already seated beside him, his voice filled with confusion: "Chaos, what's going on? How did Wanxiang end up sitting in that position?"

"That's the main position opposite the giant axe!"

The Chaos City Lord sat upright with his towering, silvery-white body, his thousands of supple tentacles swaying unconsciously, revealing the turmoil in his heart.

He paused for a moment before slowly replying telepathically, "I don't know either. The Giant Axe convened the Supreme Council without explanation."

"Could it be that Wanxiang has become the strongest being in the universe?"

"The strongest being in the universe?" Master Peng was shocked. Why is it that even Chaos has started to stop speaking human language lately?

In just a few months, he went from being the master of the universe to the strongest being in the universe?

Admittedly, they all know that Hu Yanbo has extraordinary talent and unlimited potential, but this is too unreasonable and too subversive to our understanding!

The Lord of Desolate Insight had already taken his seat. He glanced at the giant axe on the main seat, then at his composed disciple Huyan Bo opposite him, his heart churning with emotion. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could my disciple have truly become the strongest being in the universe?"

After all, simply inviting Zuoshanke to join the Hongmeng is a great achievement, but at most it will elevate Huyanbo's status within the clan, allowing him to sit on equal footing with established and powerful universe lords like the Chaos City Lord.

Just as the lords of the universe were filled with doubts and making endless guesses, the majestic voice of the Giant Axe Founder rang out, instantly suppressing all subtle exchanges of divine thoughts and making the atmosphere in front of the entire temple solemn.

"Alright, everyone is here. Let's begin this highest-level meeting." The Giant Axe Founder's gaze swept over every universe lord present.

"The reason for convening this high-level meeting is of great importance," the founder of the Giant Axe stated bluntly. "It is because our human race's newly added ally, the leader of the Hong Alliance—Sitting Mountain Guest—has, out of respect for Wanxiang, presented our human race with a complete legacy of ancient civilization!"

"Ancient heritage?! Complete?"

"For Vientiane's sake?"

The words of the Giant Axe Founder were like two giant stones thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a monstrous wave in the hearts of all the Lords of the Universe!

At this moment, all the questions about why Huyanbo was able to sit in that position had the most direct answer!

"I have placed this legacy in the core of the clan's treasure trove. All of you here may use your own authority to go and receive, view, and comprehend it."

"However, remember this! This inheritance is the highest secret of our human race, concerning the rise and fall of our people for eternity!"

"No one may disclose even a single detail of this information to anyone outside the community, in any form! Anyone who violates this rule will be considered a traitor!"

"clear!"

"That's natural!"

"Absolutely not a single word will be leaked!"

All the lords of the universe nodded solemnly.

As for Zuo Shan Ke, since he was willing to give up his inheritance because of Hu Yan Bo, he would most likely follow Hu Yan Bo's advice and not easily give this inheritance to other clans in the Hong Alliance.

This point doesn't need to be explicitly stated by the giant axe; everyone already has their own judgment and naturally has no objections.

Seeing that everyone's attitude was clear, the founder of the giant axe nodded slightly, his expression softening, and continued, "This inheritance is all-encompassing, systematically explaining everything from the path to immortality to the strongest beings in the universe, and even the prospects for the path beyond."

"Many of the secret methods, formations, and techniques within them are of immense benefit to our race. However, today I will first mention the most crucial point—"

He turned to Huyan Bo again: "Wanxiang, you have already read the inheritance. Now, it is up to you to explain to everyone the different paths to breakthrough for the strongest in the universe and your own needs!"

"A different path to becoming the strongest in the universe?"

Upon hearing this, the lords of the universes looked on with doubt and turned to Hu Yanbo for an answer.

"To become the strongest being in the universe, that is, a true god, there are roughly two paths to choose from."

Hu Yanbo explained the two paths: the "path of laws" and the "path of divine power"!

...Therefore, the "Divine Power Flow" focuses on tapping into the inherent potential of life, using the elevation of the life's genetic level as a foundation to continuously evolve the essence of life!

"I have decided to walk the path of divine power! Therefore, in addition to informing you all about the inheritance at this meeting, I have another matter to ask of the clan, and I humbly request your assistance."

"To cultivate the flow of divine power, I need to observe the mysteries of billions of living beings in the universe, analyze the evolution of the origin of life, and draw inferences from one instance to another, using the strengths of others to improve myself. Therefore, I need to collect as many different kinds of living beings as possible!"

"Whether alive or dead; whether flesh and blood or plant life—whether conceived in the primordial universe or in the cosmic ocean—I need some of their life characteristics."

The first part of the Divine Power Flow can be completed directly by the system now, but the subsequent part requires repaying this task by obtaining the fur and other life characteristics of billions of living beings.

This amount of work would take him a long time to complete by himself alone.

Therefore, Hu Yanbo took the initiative to leverage the power of his clan and the channels of the Hong Alliance to mobilize a large number of powerful individuals to collect resources for him.

On the Hongmeng side, there are powerful figures who have attached themselves to Zuoshanke, while on the human side, given his enormous contribution, he would likely only need to give a word, and many powerful figures would do their best to complete the task.

"Analyzing the essence of many life forms can help us to access the path of divine power and glimpse the higher levels of life's genes."

"If any of you are interested in the 'Divine Power Flow,' you may try it out, collect samples, and analyze and comprehend it yourselves."

"If you can achieve something, you can try to follow the path of divine power to become a true god. If you find it difficult, then continue to follow the path of laws."

Huyan Bo's ability to use divine power relies on his advance use of it.

Luo Feng mastered the Divine Power Flow by relying on the "creation" talent of his Nether Sea Avatar and the life map left behind in the Jin World by the Mountain Guest.

Without such extraordinary advantages or extraordinary opportunities, the chances of others succeeding in mastering the "Divine Power Flow" are extremely slim, even if they only reach the most basic first level.

However, if one breaks through the perfect gene, there might be some chance of becoming a true god.

Of course, there is not much difference between a true god achieved through divine power and one achieved through the law path.

After all, the strongest universe user who broke through with divine power (less than 30,000 times the genetic power) and the strongest universe user who broke through with the law path are not that different in strength.

"Rest assured, Wanxiang, this matter concerns your future path to becoming a powerful figure, and we will do our utmost!" said the Lord of Chaos City.

"Not only us, but all the immortals and venerables under my Virtual Universe Company will receive instructions to collect samples of all living beings for you to screen and study."

"My Giant Axe Arena is the same," the Lord of Void Gold nodded with a smile.

"Agreed," the Lord of Qingdong replied succinctly.

Many cosmic lords have expressed their opinions.

Can you help me collect this?

That's for sure!

Putting aside Huyanbo's great contribution to the human race by passing on his legacy, his potential to master the "divine power flow" and become a pillar of the human race is worth investing in.

Moreover, the act of collecting samples itself has potential benefits for oneself; one can simply keep a copy for research.

What if, what if I have that "divine power flow" talent?

Even if you don't have it, it can't hurt to do some research.

"Alright. In that case, this high-level meeting is adjourned." The founder of the Giant Axe stood up and said.

"I won't keep you any longer as you go to the clan's treasure vault to check on the inheritance. You may leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, his towering figure transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared in front of the Giant Axe Temple.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Yanbo, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Desolate Mirror, the Lord of Peng Gong, and other cosmic lords also transformed into streaks of white light and departed one after another.

The primordial universe, Chaos City.

The ancient temple was devoid of luxurious decorations, except for a blue crystal floating in the center, shimmering with a hazy glow.

Around the crystal, towering figures exuding a vast aura stood silently, their gazes filled with indescribable excitement.

"Divine Power Burning Secret Technique!"

"A secret technique of combined attack formations!"

"The strongest being in the universe has broken through to new heights!"

"A systematic program for cultivating geniuses!"

"Is this the legacy that the Mountain Dweller has bestowed upon all things?"

Now, anyone who breaks through to become the Lord of the Universe and the strongest in the universe will owe Hu Yanbo a debt of gratitude!

No, it's already incurred. A secret technique for burning divine power is enough to elevate the strength of the universe lords present to a new level.

He deserves to be ranked alongside the Founder of the Giant Axe as a Lord of the Universe, above all other Lords of the Universe.

Several days later, deep within the Glory Realm.

On a vast, boundless crimson continent, Hu Yanbo and Zuo Shan Ke appeared almost simultaneously on a flat rocky platform in the center of the continent.

"Myriad phenomena." The voice of the Mountain-Sitting Guest resounded directly through divine power into Hu Yanbo's consciousness.

"I have given orders to those alien universe lords in the Hong Alliance who are interested in aligning themselves with me to do their utmost to collect life characteristic samples from billions of living beings."

.

"I believe they will do their best."

Even though Zuo Shan Ke joined Hong Meng and didn't directly intervene in specific affairs, his status as the strongest person in the universe was a huge magnet in itself.

Those non-human universe lords would involuntarily gravitate towards him and show goodwill; this was an inevitable consequence of their power level.

The first thing the "mountain-sitting guest" ordered was something that these universe lords, eager to show off and climb the social ladder, would do.

They will definitely carry it out with all their might.

"That's good." Hu Yanbo nodded.

"Have them pay close attention to the samples in the cosmic ocean. Our human race should be able to cover most of the samples from the primordial universe."

"Alright." The Mountain Guest nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment, his tone becoming even lower: "If my original self were still alive, you wouldn't need to go to such great lengths for the first two steps if you wanted to take this path of divine power."

Ever since Zuoshanke felt that he had guessed Huyanbo's identity with a high degree of accuracy, his words have changed from tentatively saying things he would never have dared to say before to now being completely unrestrained.

"Senior, since it's nothing, there's no need to worry about it," Hu Yanbo replied.

The "true self" mentioned by the Mountain Guest naturally refers to his corpse and the Jin World within it.

That is indeed a shortcut. If one can see the life chart within the world of Jin, it will be easy to repay the debt in advance.

But the problem is—

Who knows if the corpse of that God-King has started flying towards the primordial universe yet?

Even if it has already started to "fly", how many epochs later would it be before it can be discovered and entered when it actually drifts to the vicinity of the primordial universe?

Do you expect me, Huyan Bo, who only took tens of thousands of years to go from immortal to universe master, to just wait for that world to advance and be stuck at the universe master stage forever?

The world of Jin doesn't have such a big face!

However, Hu Yanbo's mind changed.

If I can return to the world of Jin in time, the mechanical treasures inside are quite good; I might be able to retrieve a few pieces.
