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

Fifty thousand years is but a fleeting moment for immortal gods with eternal life, and during this time, the ten people Lin Yuan sent into the initial universe have all finished their comprehension.

As expected, Lin Lei, the older brother, successfully broke through to immortality by investing resources at any cost.

Of the remaining nine, only Lin Meng, with her considerable talent, was able to join the core layer of the virtual universe. The others all failed the assessment and had no choice but to leave dejectedly after their comprehension time ended.

Lin Yuan would naturally help the younger generation if they were successful, so he arranged for her to join a guard legion of a genius who was among the top ten in the battle, which also gave her the opportunity to stay in the initial universe for a while longer.

She truly lived up to expectations, finally mastering the complete laws of the water source five thousand years ago, becoming the fifth immortal deity of the Lin family.

……

On the original star numbered 9371, deep within the Arctic magma sea, Venerable Yan Cang sat cross-legged beside a scorching rock core, his gaze fixed on a stone lock suspended in front of him.

The countless secret patterns on the surface of the stone lock seemed to move like living things, emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation of law.

This is the Luo Tian Lock, a precious top-tier treasure embryo, which is about to be born. It is in its final stage of development and will be fully formed and born in a few years.

However, at this critical moment, a domineering aura tore through the outer magma layer, and the Yan Emperor, wielding a ferocious halberd, arrived amidst the flames.

His gaze was immediately drawn to the Luo Tian Lock that was being conceived and the Yan Xin Lock in the hands of Venerable Yan Cang. These two treasured components, which shared the same origin as the Kun Di Lock, held immense appeal for him.

"Yan Cang." The Yan Emperor's voice echoed in the scorching space, "Hand over the Flame Heart Lock in your hand, and I will allow you to witness the true power of a peak domain-level treasure."

Venerable Yan Cang stood up. Upon seeing the other party's arrival, he knew that this matter would not end well, but he did not show much fear in the face of this renowned Lord of the Universe.

Venerable Yan Cang said in a deep voice, "Emperor Yan, this item was obtained by me after overcoming numerous hardships. What does it have to do with you?"

"When the Luo Tian Lock is born, we can each fight for it based on our own abilities. Why are you demanding my treasure?"

"By your own ability?" A crimson glint flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes, and killing intent surged. "Then let me see what you have that makes you dare to refuse me!"

Before he finished speaking, the halberd in his hand had already transformed into a crimson beam that tore through space, piercing straight at Venerable Yan Cang!

This strike is called "Fire God Annihilation," a peak secret technique created by the Flame Emperor himself, a technique of the universe master level. Ordinary universe overlords would crumble upon it. He had previously used it to quickly eliminate several obstacles.

Faced with this unreasonable attack, Venerable Yan Cang did not retreat. He snorted coldly, and a silver shield engraved with mysterious star patterns appeared in his hand—the high-grade treasure, the Starry Sky Shield!

The shield shone brightly, instantly condensing into a dazzling galaxy phantom.

"Boom!"

The crimson halberd struck the illusory starry river with tremendous force. The expected scene of shield shattering and death did not occur.

The illusory starry river trembled, and countless stars vanished, but its core remained as stable as a rock, actually managing to withstand most of the power of Emperor Yan's attack.

The escaping energy surge evaporated the surrounding magma into nothingness, revealing the hard core of the planet below. However, Venerable Yan Cang was only forced to take a few steps back, and his aura fluctuated slightly.

"A top-tier treasure armor?" Emperor Yan's pupils constricted slightly; he had discerned something amiss.

Although the Starry Sky Shield had strong defensive capabilities, it was impossible for the shield itself to easily withstand his secret technique. The pale golden aura on Venerable Yan Cang's body was clearly the protective light of a top-tier treasure armor!

With two supreme treasures, one for offense and one for defense, one of which is a top-tier supreme treasure armor, Venerable Yan Cang's strength and wealth far surpass those of the cosmic overlords he had encountered before.

"Emperor Yan, you are far too domineering!" Venerable Yan Cang steadied himself, his voice turning cold. "Do you really think that a top-tier cosmic overlord is someone you can manipulate at will?"

Although he was no match for his opponent, he was able to protect himself for a short time thanks to his treasures.

"Hmph, it's just that the tortoise shell is a bit harder!" Emperor Yan's anger intensified, feeling his authority damaged.

He held nothing back, unleashing an even more powerful ultimate secret technique, "Nine Flames Purgatory," as he swung his halberd!

Nine ferocious fire dragons roared out from the tip of the halberd, each containing the terrifying power to incinerate a star system, attacking Venerable Yan Cang from all directions and sealing off all his escape space.

Venerable Yan Cang's expression was solemn as he frantically poured his divine power into the Starry Sky Shield and the Supreme Armor.

The shield transformed into a massive silver canopy, and the armor's light seemed almost tangible.

He simultaneously used his movement skills to dodge as much as possible in the limited space, reducing the number of times he was hit head-on.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fire dragons crashed into each other repeatedly, and the core temperature of the explosions was even enough to instantly vaporize ordinary heavy treasures.

The silver sky was blasted into a dazzling display of light, and the armor of Venerable Yan Cang was constantly rippling violently.

Divine blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his aura weakened. Ultimately, the quality of the divine power and the level of the secret techniques of the Lord of the Universe were incomparable to his own.

However, his defense was too strong, and Yan Di's attacks could not achieve any effective results, only causing some wear and tear and shock damage to the opponent.

"Damn it!" Yan Di was getting impatient after failing to break through Yan Di's defenses for so long.

Luo Tiansuo was about to be born. His original intention was to quickly seize the treasure and leave, but he didn't expect to run into a brick wall.

This Venerable Yan Cang has extremely rich combat experience. He doesn't fight him head-on at all. Instead, he uses top-tier treasures for defense and retreats towards the outside of the magma layer while fighting, clearly intending to withdraw.

"Emperor Yan, I, Yan Cang, will remember what happened today!" Taking advantage of the recoil from the clash, Venerable Yan Cang accelerated suddenly, transforming into a golden light and rushing towards the passage in the sky above the planet.

"What good is leaving this Luo Tian Lock to you?" He was incredibly decisive, abandoning the Luo Tian Lock that was within his grasp and choosing to save his life and retreat.

Venerable Yan Cang knew very well that an unborn treasure was far less important than his own life and the treasures he already possessed.

Emperor Yan roared, and his halberd flew out of his hand, transforming into a crimson rainbow in pursuit. However, Venerable Yan Cang quickly escaped Emperor Yan's perception range in a few flashes.

The flying halberd ultimately only stirred up boundless magma, returning empty-handed.

Looking at the empty magma world and the still-forming Luo Tian Lock, Emperor Yan's face was terribly gloomy.

He eventually obtained Luo Tiansuo, but the process was far from what he expected. More importantly, he failed to silence him this time!

Sure enough, not long after, earth-shattering news broke on the original planet:

The supreme cosmic overlord, Venerable Yan Cang, was attacked by his fellow clansman, Emperor Yan, on the Primordial Star. He narrowly escaped death, and the direct cause was that Emperor Yan coveted the Flame Heart Lock, a treasure he possessed.

Venerable Yan Cang further accused the Yan Emperor of acting mysteriously on the Primordial Star, with his movements coinciding closely with the recent falls of several human race and Hongmeng universe overlords!

This news caused an uproar within the human race and the Hong Alliance.

……

Virtual universe, a hidden dimension.

The wills of several of the highest-ranking cosmic rulers of the human race, including the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Ice Peak, the Lord of Dragon Journey, and the Lord of Void Gold, descended.

The atmosphere was heavy as Venerable Yan Cang's accusations were laid out before everyone.

The Lord of Chaos City sat in the main seat, his brows slightly furrowed, and slowly spoke: "What Yan Cang said is indeed shocking and infuriating, but no one witnessed the actual events."

The Flame Emperor may have clashed with the Flame Cang over the Luo Tian Lock. As for the few cosmic overlords who fell in our clan and the Hong Alliance...

The Flame Emperor was seen nearby before their demise, but this cannot be taken as conclusive evidence.

Or perhaps it's just a coincidence?

If we rashly pin all these incidents on Emperor Yan, what if he really didn't do it? Wouldn't that break the heart of a ruler of the universe? It would be a huge loss for our human race.

His words were mild, attempting to reconcile the contradictions and obscure the issue.

"If it wasn't him, then who could it be?" The Ice Peak Lord, with his fiery temper, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Chaos! How long are you going to defend him?"

"The Flowing Light Wings component that my disciple, Venerable Zifeng, discovered last time was forcibly 'switched' away by him. He called it a switch, but how is that any different from robbery?"

He must have coveted the new treasures the little ones had acquired this time, and when he encountered resistance while trying to seize them, he simply killed them!

How is this any different from the actions of foreign bandits? He's even more despicable, because he's attacking his own people!

The Lord of Dragons added with deep sorrow: "Chaos, my disciple, the Dragon Sword Venerable, was exceptionally talented and even had the potential to reach the level of a top overlord. He survived the previous openings of the Primordial Star without incident... but this time he has fallen."

According to the analysis of the time and space traces after the event, Yan Di was in that area before his fall, so I also want to know what the truth is! His words were filled with suppressed anger.

The Void Gold Lord of the Giant Axe Arena lineage, who had been observing coldly, interjected, "Since Chaos, you are unwilling to believe that the Flame Emperor did it, then that's fine."

The Primordial Star has been open for almost a hundred epochs; it's about time to resurrect those fallen Venerables. Why not immediately contact the Giant Axe who's been roaming the cosmic sea, and have him return to resurrect those cosmic overlords? After that, everything will naturally become clear.

Which of the universe lords present hadn't lived for countless years? What kind of conspiracies and schemes hadn't they seen? They all knew in their hearts that the matter was most likely the work of the Flame Emperor.

They also understood the Chaos City Lord's thoughts. He valued the Primordial Ancestor's entrustment to maintain the stability and prosperity of the human race above all else. Therefore, he wanted to stabilize the Yan Emperor through internal mediation, since a powerful universe lord was indeed an important pillar of the race.

The reason Chaos interrupted Venerable Yan Cang's detailed accusations was probably to suppress the matter, or at least resolve it privately, rather than bringing the issue of "dealing with Emperor Yan" to the highest meeting.

But understanding is not the same as agreeing.

At this moment, the gazes of several universe lords toward the Lord of Chaos City all carried a hint of disappointment.

The Lord of Dragons sighed inwardly: "Chaos... he's really gone a bit mad. This isn't how you maintain stability."

"Competition is acceptable within a group, but the existence of such unscrupulous parasites who harm their fellow citizens must never be tolerated."

To appease a bad apple by chilling the hearts of the younger members and even sacrificing the backbone of the tribe is too high a price to pay.

The Lord of Ice Peak sneered inwardly: "That Yan Emperor is indeed strong, and his talent is outstanding."

But this time he dared to rob and kill the human race and the universe overlord of the Hong Alliance without any scruples, which fully demonstrates that he is not of one mind with my human race at all.

What use is someone so strong? They're just a menace!

The Lord of Chaos City felt the pressure from everyone's gazes, and he knew that his attempt to smooth things over would be difficult to succeed this time.

The Lord of False Gold brought out his giant axe, which was tantamount to taking the matter directly to the highest level.

He felt bitter. On the one hand, he was unwilling to believe that the Yan Emperor, whom they had high hopes for, had fallen to such a state. On the other hand, he was even more worried that the clan would be divided and its strength would be damaged as a result.

But the will of the people is hard to defy, especially when it comes to the truth about the resurrection and fall of the cosmic overlord.

"...Very well." The Chaos City Lord finally nodded, his voice tinged with weariness. "As Xu Jin said, I will immediately contact Giant Axe and ask him to return as soon as possible."
