Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

[Meng Qi: 1,800 tons? You think this is wholesale rice?]

[Meng Qi: I know you're an immortal god, but our thoughts can't be that divine!]

Meng Qi was speechless: "Could it be that my description wasn't clear enough, and he didn't understand the specific total amount?"

cough cough...

Lin Yuan felt a little embarrassed about the Swallowed Star World, but the other party described the effects of the Soul Scattering Sand so vividly that he couldn't help but want more.

[Lin Yuan: How much can you get?]

[Meng Qi: I just asked, and Jin Jiao and the others still have twenty kilograms of it in stock. According to the cultivation system of your world, one pill is enough to kill a King-level expert, and about ten kilograms would be enough for you to wipe out all the current King-level experts in the Hong Alliance.]

"That's incredible!" Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

The other party was clearly referring to the number of powerful figures in the Hongmeng during Luo Feng's time. Back then, the entire alliance had over three million King-level experts, and ten jin could wipe them all out. This was far more powerful than Femo Venom.

[Lin Yuan: Okay, then try your best to get them all for me. I'll pay with the Fruit of Life.]

The settlement mentioned here is not for Jinjiao and his group, but for Meng Qi's payment.

He is currently at the Exterior Realm level, and this Life Fruit, which is hailed as a second life for a Realm Lord, is just right for him, as both he and his companions can use it.

Although the three Celestial Venerables allowed Meng Qi to borrow the power of the Tushita Palace, they also required him to undergo sufficient training. They would absolutely not allow Meng Qi to use the super-grade Soul-Scattering Sand.

He can only act as a middleman now; nothing else matters to him as much as what he needs to save his life.

[Meng Qi: Deal!]

……

Fifty years is but a fleeting moment for immortal gods with limitless lifespans.

For the Firewood Squad, who had been quiet at the 026th Barracks Base, this time was enough for them to complete all the gifts for their friends.

As the sleek E9-class spaceship once again set sail from the barracks base, an invisible undercurrent was already surging in the Seventh Battlefield.

Deep within a vast palace on the continent of Yanji.

Bloodfang King's body was shrouded in blood mist, his giant eyes fixed on the blinding points of light on the star map.

"They're finally out..." The voice was filled with deep-seated hatred. "Firewood Squad... Meng Qi!"

"Your Majesty, according to intelligence reports, the target spaceship has entered the dark universe and is heading towards the Flame Sacrifice Continent." Below, Marquis Qing Teng respectfully reported, but fear was hidden in his eyes.

He was a capable lieutenant under the Bloodfang King, and ten thousand years ago he witnessed the arrogant adult being severely injured in one blow, and knew how terrifying the Firewood Squad was.

"Very well." Blood mist churned, and Bloodfang King turned to look at him: "This time, I will personally wash away this shame!"

"Qing Teng, take these few and invite the Firewood Squad to the Burial Fire Basin."

His gaze swept over the various demon clan marquises behind Qing Teng Hou with sharp, knife-like eyes. They came from weaker demon clans, and their entire clans were dependent on Xue Ya Wang. These individuals were practically the strongest in their respective clans.

"I don't care how many of you die, but there's only one thing: they must be made to step into the Burial Fire Basin!" Bloodfang King's voice brooked no argument.

A white-robed noble with six compound eyes couldn't help but say in a trembling voice, "Lord Bloodfang King, the Firewood Squad's methods are bizarre, and Captain Meng Qi's soul attack is even more terrifying... We are afraid..."

How was this any different from sending them to their deaths? He couldn't accept it.

"The Six-Eyed Cloud Pigeon Clan has been expanding its territory in the Black Wind Starfield quite smoothly lately, hasn't it?" King Bloodfang coldly interrupted him, "If you displease me, I'll either send a message to the clan or go there myself..."

The white dove, its compound eyes filled with fear, cried out, "My lord, please calm your anger! I will do my utmost!"

The other marquises remained silent, their clans' survival threatened by the powerful kings.

"Your mission is merely to guide the way." Bloodfang King withdrew his oppressive aura. "After discovering the Firewood Squad, make brief contact and then retreat towards the Burial Fire Basin. If they pursue, the plan will succeed. But if something goes wrong on your end..."

Before he finished speaking, his murderous intent filled the hall.

Those who are dependent should act like dependents. If these little guys don't want to maintain their dignity, then he'll have no choice but to help them out.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marquis Qing Teng led the several marquises, whose faces were ashen, away.

……

As he watched his men leave, a shadow of malice flashed in Bloodfang King's eyes.

Although he hated Meng Qi to the core, the crushing defeat he suffered 100,000 years ago still haunted him.

What if? What if we fail again...?

"I can't take the risk alone," he whispered, his giant claws slicing through the air to bring up the public information channel for the Seventh Battlefield.

A special message was spread:

[In the Flame Sacrifice Continent, Sector 07, traces of the Firewood Squad have been suspected.]

Their captain, Meng Qi, was severely injured and his strength was greatly reduced; his teammate, Ren, was carrying a powerful treasure!

Those who wish to join forces to slay this fiend and share the spoils of war, gather immediately at the outer perimeter of the Burial Fire Basin. First come, first served!

The information on the public channel was a mix of truth and falsehood, but keywords such as the Firewood Squad and Meng Qi's serious injury quickly ignited the greed of countless powerful individuals, with many anonymous IDs expressing their intention to go there.

As Bloodfang King watched the situation escalate, a cruel smile spread across his face.

Let these useless guys test the Firewood Squad first. Once they've revealed all their trump cards, he'll strike with lightning speed. This way, he can both avenge himself and claim all the credit.

At the same time, he also began to quietly gather his most elite troops to the core area of ​​the Burial Fire Basin.

……

Inside the spaceship's lounge.

Lin Yuan and the others sat around the unfolded star map, which projected the situation around the Flame Sacrifice Continent, with the Burial Fire Basin marked in blood red.

"The fish has taken the bait. We have all the science fiction genres you like, feel free to visit." Lin Yuan looked at the public channel information captured on the virtual screen, his tone calm. "Seriously injured... How come I didn't know I was injured? The person who posted this is quite clever, trying to drag others down with them first."

He did not question the claim that the other party possessed a great treasure, because he believed that the other party might actually have one.

Blade's sharp gaze swept over the information fed back by the detector on the screen: "There are indeed quite a few returning this time, with the majority being demon race members, as well as some mechanical puppets and insectoid warriors, all of whom are at the Marquis level."

There was only one aura of a king-level being. Judging from its divine power information, it should be the Bloodfang King, who was severely injured by the captain 100,000 years ago, and is hiding in the core of the Burial Fire Basin.

Yue toyed with a crystal that changed colors, a smile playing on her lips: "Quite a show. Perfect timing to take them all out at once."

"High-energy reaction detected ahead!" the detector alarm sounded again.

"The twelve energy markers are arranged in a loose array 50 million kilometers directly ahead."

The race is determined to be demon.

Among them, there were six people who were granted the title of Marquis at the initial level, four people who were granted the title of Marquis at the advanced level, and two people who were granted the title of Marquis at the peak level.

They appeared to be on patrol, but their movement pattern suggested they were conducting targeted harassment.

On the star map, the energy markers of twelve demon races were clearly visible, which were the bait team led by Qing Teng Hou.

"They've arrived." Lin Yuan stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Twelve titles of nobility... quite a tempting offer, but it suits my purposes perfectly."

……

Flame Sacrifice Continent, on the edge of the main continent.

Qing Tenghou and his men were patrolling along the planned route. They were on edge, worried that Huomu Squad might not come, but even more worried that Huomu Squad might come too fast and too fiercely.

"Lord Qing Teng, can we really fool them like this?" Bai Ge Feng Hou's voice trembled. "The Firewood Squad's detectors are said to be very advanced..."

"Shut up!" Qing Teng Hou hissed. "Just do your job! Lord Bloodfang King has his own plans! We just need to..."

Before the words were even finished!

boom!!!

The void, less than 5,000 kilometers in size, twisted violently without warning, and a jet-black spaceship crashed out, appearing abruptly right in front of their ship.

A surprise attack from the dark universe! Face-to-face contact is imminent!

"Enemy attack! It's the Firewood Squad!" Qing Teng Hou was terrified. "Retreat! Retreat to the Burial Fire Basin according to plan!"

However, his order came a moment too late.

Almost at the same instant the spaceship appeared, three figures shot out from the cabin at a speed beyond comprehension.

Lin Yuan transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing straight towards the strongest member of the Thorn Armored Dragon Clan at the peak of the Marquis level, his eyes flashing with crimson-gold flames.

"Soul-Slaying Blade!"

A sharp blade, designed to sever souls, burst forth from between the brows, ignoring the opponent's massive divine body, and instantly pierced the core of the spiny dragon's soul.

His enormous, menacing eyes dimmed, and although his massive divine body remained intact, his soul had been completely annihilated by the Soul-Slaying Blade.

Lin Yuan waved his hand to put away his divine body, the movement flowing smoothly like water.

At the same time, Yue's figure appeared in the sky above the battlefield like a dream, her hands pressing down in a gesture.

"town!"

Invisible spatial fluctuations permeated the air, solidifying the space within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

The nine demon clan members, including Qing Teng Hou, whose divine powers were sluggish and whose movements and thoughts were almost frozen, were affected.

Only the Swift Shadow Monkey Clan's Feng Hou, skilled in speed, and the Ironclad Rhinoceros Clan's Feng Hou, with their formidable defense, managed to break free of their restraints and were about to flee in a sorry state without looking back.

"Blade!" Yue's cold voice rang out.

"clear!"

Blade's figure appeared before Swift Shadow Marquis and Ironclad Marquis like a ghost.

Although he was a realm lord, his understanding of spatial laws was extremely high, and the battle sword in his hand shone with a dazzling silver light.

"Emptiness Crack!"

The sword light sliced ​​through space, leaving fine cracks that enveloped the two high-ranking marquises, their fierce attacks keeping them firmly entangled.

The battle was a one-sided, crushing victory.

Qing Teng Hou screamed wildly in his heart and struggled desperately.

Yue glanced at him and deliberately relaxed her control over him.

Qing Teng Hou felt a sense of relief throughout his body, a mixture of ecstasy and fear, and without hesitation, he burned his divine power!

boom!

He transformed into a streak of azure light, fleeing in terror toward the Burial Fire Basin, not even bothering to glance at his companions.

With Qing Teng Hou escaping, Yue also took the opportunity to loosen her control over the other marquises.

"Escape! Split up and escape!" The three newly appointed Marquis-level warriors roared as they burned their divine power to break free and flew off in different directions.

Another person who was granted the title of Marquis of the highest rank and two others who were granted the title of Marquis of the lowest rank also took the opportunity to break free and fled in panic.

Only the two high-level Marquis-level experts who were tightly entangled by the blade, and the few low-level Marquis-level experts who were too weak, were still unable to break free.

"Which one to chase?" Blade asked telepathically while suppressing his opponent.

He moved swiftly, chasing after the three marquises who had fled to the Burial Fire Basin. His speed seemed fast, but he did not unleash his full power.

Ahead, Marquis Qing Teng and three other marquises were fleeing towards the Burial Fire Basin with all their might, their hearts still filled with shock.

"Quick! Enter the Burial Fire Basin, the Lord is there, we'll be safe once we get there!" Qing Teng Hou roared, burning even more divine power.

Behind them, the three followed at a leisurely pace, even having time to exchange words.

"Ninety-five now, and the number is still increasing." Yue kept checking the information from the detector. "It seems there are quite a few alien races that want our lives."

"It's good to clean them up at the same time," Lin Yuan said calmly.

A fighting spirit burned in his eyes: "I specially bought some good things, enough to properly entertain them."
