Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

Chapter 195 I will take action!

As the founder of the giant axe listened to Hu Yanbo's explanation of the World Beasts and their world-destroying dangers, his mind was in turmoil, and he instinctively resisted believing the truth.

But looking into Hu Yanbo's eyes, which held absolutely no hint of a joke, his Adam's apple bobbed: "So, what should we do next?"

"It's alright," Hu Yanbo smiled. "I'm still here, aren't I?"

As he spoke, a hazy, warm, colorful light suddenly appeared around Hu Yanbo.

The light was not dazzling, but it seemed to contain the most primal vitality and order of the universe.

Standing beneath this light, the Giant Axe Founder felt an immense, invisible pressure, as if facing the vast will of the entire universe.

What struck him even more was that he seemed to catch a barely perceptible, subtle emotional fluctuation, akin to "jumping for joy," in the rhythm of the flowing colored light.

The colorful light flashed and disappeared as if it had never appeared, but the atmosphere inside the temple was already different.

The founder of the giant axe looked at Huyanbo with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Hu Yanbo seemed to sense his confusion and asked, "What's wrong, Giant Axe? Is there anything else you want to ask?"

'

The Giant Axe Founder asked in a deep voice, "Myriad Phenomena, I've wanted to ask this for a long time: since you have a special connection with the original will of the primordial universe..."

"Then, could we ask the primordial will to release the original ancestor?"

"Our human race will be eternally grateful for this."

The human race has long harbored little affection for the primordial cosmic will that suppressed its ancestors.

However, Huyanbo's rise is also inextricably linked to the original will.

And the human race has developed rapidly under the leadership of Huyanbo, especially just now—if it weren't for Huyanbo's warning, he would have been holding that detailed and tempting treasure map.

Given his personality, there's a high chance he'll go investigate, and the consequences...

A chill ran down the spine of the founder of the giant axe.

This can be described as a true act of saving a life, and it also saved the community from a potentially devastating disaster.

Well, it seems unlikely, because the clan has the existence of Wanxiang, so even if he falls, Wanxiang can still take charge of the overall situation.

In the end, it's just a world where only he gets hurt.

Therefore, the perception of the creator of the giant axe towards the original will of the primordial universe has become much more complex at this moment, and is no longer simply one of dissatisfaction.

If the suppressed progenitors could regain their freedom, they would certainly be very favorable towards the original will.

At this moment, in Huyanbo's palace in this virtual universe, besides Huyanbo and the Giant Axe Founder standing opposite each other, in another higher dimension, a figure is also quietly watching this place.

He was dressed in a simple white robe, with a handsome face and eyes like the most perfect jade carvings, which seemed to contain the mysteries of the operation of the entire universe and spacetime. He was the creator of the virtual universe and the legendary ancestor of the human race!

He has been listening here the whole time.

When he heard about the danger posed by the "Boundary Beast," he frowned.

When he heard the founder of the Giant Axe make a request to Huyanbo for his freedom, his furrowed brows relaxed, and his eyes revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation.

Although he can observe and think in the virtual universe, true freedom and returning to his people are what he has longed for throughout his endless years.

Faced with Giant Axe's request, Hu Yanbo slowly shook his head: "Giant Axe, this matter cannot really be entirely attributed to the original will of the primordial universe."

"Back then, the original ancestor did not act in a very ethical manner."

Although the supreme rules allow the possession of primordial universes, that is only possible after arriving on the Origin Continent, and within one's own realm...

After accumulating enough, it performs the possession.

However, what the original ancestor did back then was to try to seize power by force when he was inside the primordial universe and had not yet transcended reincarnation. It was almost equivalent to forcibly usurping the life core and control of a "mother" inside her body.

The primordial cosmic will operates through supreme rules to maintain itself, and its suppression of the progenitor is therefore justifiable.

Furthermore, although Hu Yanbo received help from the system along the way, he did indeed receive a lot of help from the original cosmic will.

Therefore, he cannot, like many powerful beings in the human race, directly judge the suppression of the progenitor as "purely a mistake of the original cosmic will."

Upon hearing this, the founder of the giant axe was stunned.

The original ancestor himself was unwilling to elaborate on the specific reasons for his suppression.

He didn't know much more than others.

The founder of the giant axe was silent for a moment, then finally sighed: "I do not know the details of what happened back then."

"Perhaps the progenitor had his reasons and pursuits."

Meanwhile, the original ancestor, whose key point had been revealed in another dimension, burst into laughter.

"Let's discuss this matter after we've resolved the threat of the Beast Realm," Hu Yanbo said, looking at the somber-faced founder of the Giant Axe.

"Good!" The founder of the giant axe smiled again.

If Wanxiang can say that, then there must be a way.

"For now, let's ignore Lord Yuan'ao and the Beast Slaves behind him."

Hu Yanbo had a clear mind and made rapid arrangements.

"Their offering of maps as bait is nothing more than an attempt to lure you into a trap. You just need to remain still; after all, for the strongest, it's perfectly normal not to explore for millions of epochs."

"Or, if you dislike someone, you can find a way to 'naturally' hand this map over to them."

The founder of the giant axe was taken aback at first, then felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, Wanxiang was born into the human race. If he had been born into any other race, the founder of the giant axe couldn't help but recall the fall of the mechanical race's father god not long ago.

Even on his deathbed, the mechanical god thought it was just bad luck that he had run into the giant axe and the mountain dweller who had returned from the treasure-filled peak realm—an unfortunate coincidence.

I never imagined that this chance encounter was carefully planned.

"Let me think about it."

Of course, the founder of the giant axe did not refuse.

After exchanging a few more words, the founder of the giant axe disappeared from the temple, returning to his cultivation and adventures.

Silence returned to the temple.

Huyan Bo stood alone in the hall, his gaze seemingly fixed on the darkness surging deep within the distant Qingfeng Realm.

"Ten billion world beasts—" Hu Yanbo thought to himself, his calm face masking a rapidly churning mind and weighing of options.

He spoke with great confidence, but in reality, Hu Yanbo wasn't entirely sure how to deal with the Beast of the Realm.

Even if one were to break through to the True God realm with a perfect divine body, attempting to directly annihilate a billion World Beasts would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

The sheer number of them is a huge gap that even a perfect divine body cannot ignore.

"Either rely on external aids, or..." Hu Yanbo's mind raced, and one solution after another appeared in his mind.

"Third clone, complete!" Luo Feng gazed at the vast, dark sea before him, which stretched for 90,000 kilometers and exuded an endless aura, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"The Netherworld Avatar is complete!"

His three incarnations (Golden Horned Beast, Rayquaza, and Darksea) are now complete, each possessing its own unique mysteries.

With his clone now formed, he felt that his accumulation of experience at the realm master stage was sufficient.

Luo Feng immediately began to try to break through the barrier that had troubled countless world lords—the breakthrough to immortality!

Willpower rises to its peak!

Luo Feng mobilized the Golden Horned Beast clone's understanding of the Law of Metal, the Earthling's main body's control over the Law of Space, and the Rayquaza clone's keen awareness of the essence of space, combined with his self-created ultimate technique, to transform all his power, insights, and will into an unstoppable spear that shattered boundaries, fiercely blasting towards the seemingly fragile but actually indestructible primordial core within his body!

Once, twice, ten times, a hundred times —

An attack that had been invincible in the past, capable of easily tearing apart ordinary immortals and even severely injuring marquis-level immortals (now, without the King's Armor and relying solely on the comprehension of the laws), landed on his original core, but only caused a few ripples!

"How can one become immortal if one cannot break through the original core?" After countless attempts, Luo Feng stopped and frowned.

For the first time in his life, on the path of spiritual practice that he was most confident in, he encountered what seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle.

Given his profound understanding of the laws and the power of his self-created unique skills, breaking through to immortality should have been a natural progression.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

As time passed, news about Luo Feng, the "King of the Blade River" who once swept across the battlefields beyond the realms and was feared by countless powerful alien races, gradually diminished in the outside world and in the virtual universe network.

People were talking about how this peerless genius, hailed as the number one on Qianlong Star, had been silent for so long at the Realm Lord level. Many geniuses on Qianlong Star had already become immortals, so why was the number one genius trapped at the Realm Lord level?

If you are trapped in the realm of the Lord, no matter how beautiful or talented you are, when your lifespan is up, you will die.

"Although my teacher expects me to catch up with him, am I being too impatient?" Luo Feng stood in the void, examining himself.

"No matter how hard I try, no matter how much I consider myself a genius, can I really hope to catch up with my teacher's level in a mere tens of thousands of years?" Luo Feng asked himself honestly, and the answer was clearly no.

The legendary figure of the Lord of All Things, who inexplicably rose from immortality to a great being whom even the strongest beings in the universe must respect in just five eras.

Now that I have been cultivating for tens of thousands of years, the expectation of "catching up with my teacher" is a lighthouse, a direction, and a driving force, but it should never be a burden that makes me lose my way or make me restless on the path of cultivation.

"In terms of mindset, I am still too immature. I need to learn more from my senior brothers and the sages and predecessors on Earth." Luo Feng slowly calmed his restless aura, sat down cross-legged, and turned his attention to introspection.

The three levels of the Way of Mind are not inherently superior or inferior; they are simply different ways of viewing the world and dealing with one's own path.

Every strong person who has emerged from Earth has, based on their own talents and experiences, come to understand different levels of mindset, and continues to delve deeper and expand along these levels.

"Even if Mount Tai collapses before you, you will not change your expression; even if a deer runs past on your left, you will not blink." Luo Feng savored the words of the sages.

"This composure is a manifestation of mental fortitude."

"But what if it weren't mountains collapsing, but the entire universe? What if the one appearing beside you wasn't a deer, but a super-powerful being capable of destroying galaxies?"

"Maintaining composure at that time" requires more than just composure; it demands a deeper understanding and acceptance of the "Tao," of existence, and of "change."

"The Tao has no bounds, and so does the mind." Luo Feng suddenly realized.

He no longer confined himself to the Holy City of Meteorite Star, nor did he obsess over repeatedly impacting the original core.

With a single thought, one embarks on a journey through the stars, like an ordinary wanderer in the universe, without a destination, yet guided by one's own heart.

Luo Feng no longer uses teleportation to travel, but instead travels in the most ordinary spaceships, or simply walks in the starry sky with his own body, measuring this boundless vastness with his footsteps.

I witnessed the birth of a star, shining brilliantly in the nebula;

They also witnessed the expansion of a red giant, which devoured a planet;

I have encountered a strange binary system consisting of a neutron star and a white dwarf, which are mutually attracted to each other.

Until Luo Feng encountered a blue superstar that had reached the end of its life.

This star, far exceeding the mass of the sun, had a brilliant but short-lived life. Luo Feng remained at a safe distance, quietly observing it.

It radiates an incredibly dazzling, almost wild blue light, as if it wants to squander all the energy in its life at this moment.

However, behind this dazzling performance lies the rapid depletion of core fuel, a harbinger of structural collapse.

Finally, that moment arrived.

The light instantly surpassed the sum of billions of years of light, illuminating the entire dark star field as if it were daytime.

Then, the light quickly dimmed, leaving behind a rapidly spinning, all-consuming neutron star and a continuously expanding, brightly colored remnant nebula.

That once incredibly bright blue supergiant star, which dominated a region of the night sky, vanished without a trace, leaving only its magnificent afterglow as proof that it once existed.

Luo Feng silently experienced all of this, from glory to annihilation, from existence to nothingness.

After a long while, a sentence resonated clearly in his heart: "It seems that being too dazzling and burning too intensely is not necessarily a good thing."

"Life, too, needs a different rhythm."

He recalled his relatively relaxed early years—the time when he served as an inspector in the Yixing Chamber of Commerce.

Although there was pressure from the mission, compared to the previous exploration of the secret realm and the subsequent life-or-death battles, that period of time was also quite unique.

"Perhaps, I can go back and take another look, under a different identity." Luo Feng made up his mind.

Using the special authority granted to him by Hu Yanbo, he submitted a request to the headquarters of the Yixing Chamber of Commerce to apply for a temporary job experience under the identity of "Luo Feng, disciple of the Lord of All Things and former Inspector Wu".

The request was quickly approved, and even received the approval of Wu Bie, a senior member of the Chamber of Commerce—clearly indicating that it had the tacit consent or even instruction of Hu Yanbo.

Instead of choosing a high-level management position, he applied for a series of mid- to low-level positions such as "Regional Coordinator," "Cultural Investigator," or "Project Assistant," which involved venturing deep into the heart of different civilizations and engaging closely with local life.

And so they continued to search and experience the various ethnic groups.

This allowed Luo Feng to unleash his inspiration, and in his relaxed state, he felt even more.

"So that's how it is."

"It's time to go home."
