Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 193 We must continue to resolutely implement...

The central palace of the Meteorite Star Holy City.

"Luo Feng, would you be willing to become my disciple?" Hu Yanbo asked.

In fact, given Luo Feng's previous performance, not to mention the Realm Lord, many Universe Lords had been eager to take him as a disciple even during the Domain Lord era, but Hu Yanbo suppressed them all.

"Disciple Luo Feng greets Master!" Luo Feng stepped forward and knelt down.

This bow comes from the heart.

Since arriving in the universe, from the Genius Battle to Chaos City, from the Secret Realm to Yixing, and now, the name "Lord of All Things" has been almost everywhere.

His legend is too glorious—he became immortal in six thousand epochs, and then ascended to the status of a great being in just five epochs. His strength was unfathomable, and he made outstanding contributions to the human race.

A great being whom the leaders of the five major powers all respect.

The extraordinary preferential treatment and respect that Luo Feng enjoyed in Chaos City, the secret realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and the Yi Xing Chamber of Commerce largely stemmed from his origins on Qianlong Star.

And this Hidden Dragon Star is the manifestation of the will of the being before us.

"Get up." Hu Yanbo nodded slightly.

"You are my eighth disciple."

Luo Feng stood up and listened respectfully.

"The three senior brothers before you were all taken in by me when I was still in the Immortal stage before I achieved enlightenment," Huyanbo said.

The three disciples that Hu Yanbo took in during his early immortal stage were all resurrected by reversing time and space after he became the Lord of the Universe.

With the resources and guidance he provided, all three became immortal deities.

However, if they want to become cosmic venerables in the future, with their original aptitude, even with Hu Yanbo's support, they can only slowly endure it over time.

As for the four who came later, they were the amazing figures such as Laozi and Confucius who were brought from Earth.

In fact, Hu Yanbo originally had no intention of taking on any other disciples besides Luo Feng.

However, his teacher, the Lord of Wilderness Insight, had sought him out some time ago, saying that what those juniors who came out of "Hidden Dragon Star" longed for and hoped for most was to become his disciples.

Therefore, he recently accepted those who passed the tests he set as his disciples.

"Although you are my eighth disciple, I have the highest expectations for you. I hope you can keep striving forward and catch up with me," Hu Yanbo continued.

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat.

How to catch up with the teacher?

Why do teachers have such high expectations of themselves?

Even setting aside the legendary tale of the teacher's "enlightenment" and his ascension from an immortal deity to a great being in just tens of thousands of years, the teacher's life alone only took a little over six thousand epochs to achieve his current strength.

"Can I really do it?"

An unprecedented sense of dread, a mixture of immense glory and boundless pressure, rose from the depths of his soul.

It wasn't fear, but rather an instinctive feeling of insignificance and longing when facing a majestic mountain, along with an intense desire to climb to its summit and a sense of self-doubt.

The teacher's legend is so dazzling that it almost makes one lose the will to follow in his footsteps.

But now, his teacher has personally entrusted him with this expectation.

"Disciple will do his utmost!" Luo Feng bowed deeply once more.

Hu Yanbo nodded slightly, then said, "Now that you have become a realm lord, it is customary for you to go out and hone your skills."

"Without the tempering of blood and fire, one cannot become strong."

Today, under the influence of Huyanbo's rise, the human race has a more diversified and sophisticated system for cultivating and training geniuses.

The training locations available to world lord-level geniuses are far more diverse than those in the original work.

"I suggest you go to the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield."

"There lies an opportunity that belongs to you. Of course, this opportunity comes with trials; whether you receive it depends on yourself."

Therefore, Hu Yanbo specifically pointed out the seventh extraterritorial battlefield, precisely because he was worried that Luo Feng would miss the Star Tower because he had too many choices.

After all, the Star Tower has a time limit.

Surpassing the Realm Lord greatly increases the difficulty.

"Yes, teacher!" Luo Feng nodded emphatically.

In fact, even without special guidance from a teacher, he had originally planned to go to the outer battlefields for training.

Previously, during the domain master stage, when traveling between the territories of various races aboard the Easy Travel Merchant Guild's spaceship, what I saw and heard was mostly within a relatively peaceful and regulated commercial or diplomatic framework, and it was mostly harmonious and peaceful.

That kind of environment, while broadening one's horizons, makes it difficult to experience the true cruelty of life-or-death battles, and cannot fully hone his blood-drinking sword.

Compared to training in the Star Prison or exploring secret realms.

Luo Feng preferred honing his skills in battles against alien races on the battlefields beyond the borders.

"Only by passing this test will you be qualified to participate in deciding the future of the Earth," Hu Yanbo continued.

"Determine the course of Earth?" Luo Feng became even more excited upon hearing this.

Over the years, he has gradually used the special points that Meteorite Star has for Earth to bring his parents, wife, children and some of his closest relatives and friends from Earth to Earth.

However, the fact that the vast majority of his compatriots are still trapped in that small solar system and unable to personally experience the vastness and wonder of the universe remains a regret in his heart.

Although he became a disciple of Meteorite Star, the most outstanding genius of the contemporary world lord, he also became a disciple of the Lord of the Universe.

But on matters concerning Earth, there is no difference in either legal principles or strength.

Teacher Huyanbo is the undisputed lord.

As a citizen, no matter how much he cares about his homeland, he cannot interfere with the overall development plan and future destiny of the earth.

Now, the teacher has personally promised that as long as one passes the test of the Seventh Extraterrestrial Battlefield, one will be qualified to participate in deciding the future of Earth!

Being able to strive for a broader future for hundreds of millions of compatriots in his hometown is undoubtedly something that makes him happy.

"Disciple understands! I will certainly live up to Master's expectations!" Luo Feng's voice was resolute and full of boundless motivation.

Hu Yanbo nodded slightly, and a stream of light flew out from his sleeve, landing in Luo Feng's palm. It transformed into a dark token that was neither gold nor jade, but warm to the touch. The front of the token had an ancient character "万象" (Wanxiang), while the back had a faint axe mark, emitting a subtle yet unsettling fluctuation.

"This is my token, which contains a mark of my divine power," Hu Yanbo explained.

"If you encounter an insurmountable and life-threatening situation on a battlefield outside the region, you can crush it immediately."

"It can save your life."

"But remember, this item can only be used once, and should not be relied upon unless absolutely necessary."

"Thank you, teacher!" Luo Feng solemnly put away the token.

"Furthermore," Hu Yanbo continued, "the Realm Lord stage is the golden period for comprehending the laws and creating secret techniques."

"I have created 10,000 simulated opponents for you within your exclusive training space on the virtual universe Meteorite Star, based on your current strengths, weaknesses, and potential future development."

"When you feel that the secret technique is insufficient, you may go and try it."

"Thank you very much, teacher!" Luo Feng replied solemnly.

"Huang Jian, your Cosmic Mercenary Alliance doesn't have a Cosmic Lord who is skilled in teaching the way of the soul. It's right to hand Hong over to me," said a man dressed in simple black clothes, with a cold and hard face and a shiny bald head.

The Lord of the Wasteland sat cross-legged in his temple, listening to the bald man's words. Far from being annoyed, he smiled and stroked his short golden beard: "Oh? My Cosmic Mercenary Alliance doesn't have a Cosmic Lord skilled in the art of the soul?"

"Darkness, are you planning to expel my disciple, Huyanbo, from the alliance?"

The Lord of Darkness's hardened expression twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath, and his icy expression softened for the first time, even managing to put on a warm smile: "Huang Jian, you know that's not what I meant."

"But didn't Hong fail the Trial of All Things?"

"Since he has no chance to directly become a disciple of Wanxiang, isn't it reasonable and more reasonable for me, the second strongest in the human race in the realm of soul cultivation, to guide him? Wouldn't that make the best use of his talents?"

"This is a good thing for Hong and for our human race."

The Lord of the Wasteland listened, his smile deepening, clearly finding something in those words that struck a chord with him.

He laughed and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, you rarely say such a long string of sweet words."

"Go ahead, go ask that little Hong what he thinks."

"If he's willing, I have no objection."

As time passed, while Luo Feng was wreaking havoc on the battlefield outside the domain, the growth curve of the Earth's lineage of geniuses who emerged from "Hidden Dragon Star"—"the more they went on, the more astonishing they became"—was repeatedly proven by reality.

Even the Supreme Being of the Universe can't get a chance to take on disciples; only those beings at the top of the cosmic food chain are qualified to compete for them.

However, it is not easy to take these "hot commodities" as apprentices.

First, we need to observe the attitude of "Lord of All Things," Huyanbo.

He is the true source of "Hidden Dragon Star".

If these little guys pass Huyanbo's test, then the other universe lords will naturally have no choice but to back down.

Secondly, even if Hu Yanbo doesn't accept them, these geniuses are still within the system of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.

The Cosmic Mercenary Alliance isn't without a cosmic ruler.

For a cosmic lord like the Lord of Darkness, who comes from other forces such as the Virtual Universe Company, to "recruit disciples" across factions would be overstepping his bounds and would need the consent of the Alliance founder, the Lord of Desolate Mirror.

Thus, the Lord of the Wasteland has truly never had a moment of peace and quiet in the past few thousand years.

Today one person comes to discuss "so-and-so's spatial talent," tomorrow another will come to discuss "another kid's potential in time law"—the reasons are varied, the attitudes are different, but the core purpose is the same: they have their eyes on the talent that came out of the Meteorite Star and the Hidden Dragon Star.

The Lord of the Wasteland was quite enjoying himself.

He doesn't even need apprentices; the little geniuses under his apprentices are enough to make him look good, which makes him feel exceptionally pleased.

"Tsk tsk tsk————" After seeing off the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Desolation picked up his wine cup, took a sip with relish, and looked at the flowing starry river outside the temple, his smile almost overflowing.

"This life is really interesting."

The Lord of the Wilderness was enjoying fine wine in his own temple, savoring his sweet troubles.

Deep within the distant Seventh Domain Battlefield, in a nine-story tower surrounded by endless nine spiraling stars.

"Come on, child, come on—" Puti's guidance led Luo Feng to the core of the Star Tower.

This disciple of the Mountain-Sitting Guest is now one of the most important senior members of the Yi Xing Chamber of Commerce.

"The same master craftsman who joined the Yixing Chamber of Commerce with him back then was also the God of Craftsmen."

Of course, some guardian deities and gods from the Ancestral God Sect also joined in, such as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The Ancestral God Cult and the Easy Travel Merchant Guild were very close, and thus, through various forces, the Easy Travel Merchant Guild was able to spread throughout the primordial universe.

Inside the Star Tower at this moment is an incarnation of Puti's divine power.

Meanwhile, the true form of the Mountain-Sitting Guest had already silently stood in the most core, hidden space of the Star Tower, quietly observing everything.

He watched the black-haired youth, guided by Puti, walk towards the core of the tower. A faint ripple appeared in the depths of his usually calm eyes.

"Is this the person Wanxiang was talking about, the one most likely to recognize the Star Tower as their master?" Zuo Shanke thought to himself.

In the understanding of the Mountain Dweller, Huyanbo has an extraordinary connection with the original cosmic will, and may even be its incarnation.

Therefore, after Hu Yanbo explicitly mentioned to him that Luo Feng was the most likely Earthling to recognize the Star Tower as its master, Zuo Shan Ke began to focus his attention on Luo Feng.

Therefore, although many exceptionally talented individuals emerged from the Earth lineage afterward, the unique "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" ultimately fell into Luo Feng's hands according to some arrangement.

The core of the Star Tower.

Puti's divine power avatar nodded slightly to Luo Feng and slowly guided the tower bead containing the Star Tower toward Luo Feng.

The moment of touch—

The recognition of God has begun.

More than six thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Star Tower, which once attracted countless powerful figures to fight and compete for, and its thousands of forbidden spaces, all trembled slightly in unison at this moment, as if after endless years of silence, they had finally waited for a moment worth celebrating.

The core space of the Star Tower.

Both the avatar of Puti, who had been silently watching, and the real person of the Mountain Guest, who was observing from the shadows, showed some surprise on their faces.

Just now, they sensed that Luo Feng's soul fluctuations, after more than six thousand years of torment, had weakened to the extreme and could be extinguished at any moment.

The Mountain Dweller had even secretly sighed, preparing for the possibility that the Star Tower might never be owned by anyone.

However, at that seemingly final critical point, Luo Feng's extremely weak soul fire suddenly unleashed an indescribable resilience, perfectly merging with the tower bead!

"It worked?" Puti asked incredulously.

"It actually succeeded." The shock of the Mountain Dweller was far deeper and more overwhelming than that of his eldest disciple, Puti.

Puti's disbelief stemmed from his knowledge that the Star Tower was an extremely powerful treasure with extremely stringent conditions for recognizing a master, and that Luo Feng's success was already a miracle.

But the Mountain Dweller knows that the Star Tower is suspected to be a super weapon of the "Ultimate Realm"!

Such an incredible super weapon was successfully recognized as a master by a realm lord!

Moreover—Hu Yanbo had previously explained to him that Luo Feng had a great chance of recognizing the Star Tower as his master.

"Could it be because I have always walked alongside all things, protecting them from behind, that he only recently began to communicate with the primordial universe, thus giving birth to an anomaly like Luo Feng?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Otherwise, why didn't Luo Feng come earlier? He was born not long after he started following Hu Yanbo.

Although Earth created itself, it is necessary for the right time, place, and people to nurture an anomaly like Luo Feng. However, the two previous Earth geniuses who came to claim mastership lacked the right time during their gestation.

In the past, the timing of events was always unpredictable, but this time we seized the opportunity.

That's how Luo Feng came to be.

The mountain dweller gave himself a big thumbs up for his idea.

"We must continue to resolutely implement..."
