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

For the Lord of the Universe, a thousand years is nothing more than a short seclusion or a journey that is not too far.

In the vast expanse of the universe, just light-years away from the supercontinent where the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company is located, lies a vast, empty area.

This place has few stars, is almost a vacuum zone, and is rarely visited by people, making it an ideal location for important ceremonies.

At this moment, a majestic figure carrying a giant axe tore through the void and descended upon this place; it was none other than the pillar of humanity—the Founder of the Giant Axe.

He was a burly man, carrying a giant axe on his back, exuding an aura of maturity that came from countless battles, but his eyes remained sharp.

The avatar of the Chaos City Lord was already waiting there.

"Giant Axe." The Chaos City Lord stepped forward.

"Chaos, why did you call me back so urgently? Has something serious happened over there?" Giant Axe asked in a loud and direct voice.

He had just returned from the Cosmic Sea, where he had fought several fierce battles with the lone Northern Frontier True God in order to seize a newly emerged top-tier domain-class treasure. In the end, he defeated his opponent with his superior strength and finally managed to acquire the precious treasure. He was in a pretty good mood at the moment.

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and asked with concern, "Was your trip to the Cosmic Sea successful? I heard you acquired another treasure."

Giant Axe laughed and waved his hand: "I fought a few battles with that old guy from the Northern Frontier, just loosened up my muscles, it's nothing."

Although he spoke casually, one can imagine the danger and intensity involved in seizing a top-tier domain treasure from a powerhouse of the same level.

"You've worked hard," the Chaos City Lord said with emotion. "Over the years, the treasures you've contributed to the clan's treasury alone probably exceed the total of all other universe lords. The clan is very fortunate to have you."

Giant Axe's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "It's all for the sake of humanity. There's no such thing as hardship. Let's get down to business."

The Lord of Chaos hesitated for a moment, still holding a sliver of hope for Emperor Yan. He did not directly mention the other party's suspicion, but said, "It is about the Primordial Star. This time, the opening of the Primordial Star has caused considerable losses to our human race and the Hong Alliance."

Forty-two ordinary cosmic lords perished, and several cosmic lords of our human race have successively resurrected them. However, five cosmic overlords have still fallen.

He looked at the giant axe: "To resurrect the cosmic overlords, especially the top cosmic overlords among them, we have no choice but to ask you to take action."

Upon hearing this, the giant axe frowned, then relaxed.

He nodded and said, "I see. The fall of five cosmic overlords... that is indeed a great loss. Reviving them is what I should do."

Seeing that the giant axe did not press for details, the Chaos City Lord felt somewhat relieved and nodded, saying, "Alright, the resources needed for the resurrection of the three Hongmeng Universe Overlords have already been collected from their clans, so let's set the resurrection location here."

He handed over an item bearing the marks of several fallen cosmic overlords to the giant axe, which was key to locating them.

"Hmm." The giant axe said no more, his gaze sweeping across the silent starry sky, his expression turning solemn.

Even for him, the strongest being in the universe, resurrecting the overlord of the universe was not a casual act without a price.

"Let's start with the one who fell the most recently. Going back against the flow of time will make things a little easier." With a thought, the giant axe unleashed a vast and terrifying will, which, combined with his divine power as the strongest being in the universe, began to interfere with the most fundamental rules of spacetime.

"Time and spacetime reversed!"

A silent roar resounded at the level of the laws.

Centered on the giant axe, the spacetime of the vast surrounding starry sky began to blur and distort.

A vast, illusory river, shimmering with countless fragments of light and shadow, faintly appears; it is the river of time, connecting the past and present of the primordial universe.

The giant axe's gaze locked onto a certain segment downstream, a mark left by a recently fallen cosmic overlord.

His divine power transformed into a gigantic, asexual hand, reaching into the river of time, locking onto the figure with closed eyes, and "retrieving" it.

This process may seem simple to describe, but it is actually dangerous and intricate.

It requires counteracting the natural corrective forces of time and space, accurately locating that unique life imprint, and providing sufficient energy and origin to support its re-coagulation.

The giant axe was focused, and the enormous consumption of divine power caused invisible ripples to spread across the vacuum.

Finally, the first figure materialized from the ethereal and slowly coalesced in the starry sky in front of the giant axe.

He was a cosmic overlord who had joined the Hongmeng Alliance. His body resembled a python, and he was still somewhat weak as his aura had just begun to recover.

His blank eyes quickly regained their focus, memories flooded back, and he instantly realized that he had died once and been resurrected by the great creator of the giant axe.

"Thank you for reviving me, Lord Giant Axe!" The python-shaped cosmic overlord immediately bowed respectfully, his voice filled with excitement and lingering fear.

But then he remembered the price he would have to pay for resurrection, a huge amount of resources even for humans, and almost bankrupt for his people!

This trip to the Primordial Star not only failed to yield any treasures, but also left us with such a heavy debt...

Thinking of this, he was overcome with grief and couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot, both for his own plight and for the future of his people.

The giant axe merely nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

He had resurrected many of the Hongmeng's cosmic overlords, and their reactions after resurrection were similar to those of the one in front of him.

He continued his methods and began to revive the second one.

Soon, another cosmic overlord of the Hongmeng was also successfully resurrected. His reaction was exactly the same as the former: first, he thanked the giant axe with tears of gratitude, and after calculating the price, he beat his chest and stood aside silently shedding tears.

Both overlords seemed to want to say something but held back, their eyes filled with resentment and injustice. However, after glancing at the creator of the giant axe who was preparing for the next resurrection, and then at the Lord of Chaos City beside him, they swallowed their words and simply stood aside and waited silently.

The giant axe did not stop, and began to revive the third one, a cosmic overlord of the human race named Rock Venerable, known for his defense and strength.

The river of time and space rippled once more, and the life imprint of the Rock Venerable was drawn and reshaped by the giant axe with its supreme power.

The moment his figure solidified completely, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his pent-up rage erupted instantly, unleashing a roar that shook the very stars:

"Emperor Yan! My ancestor!!!"

The roar was filled with deep-seated hatred, making the silent starry sky tremble.

The Giant Axe Founder, who was preparing to resurrect the next cosmic overlord, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the newly resurrected Rock Venerable.

The Chaos City Lord standing beside him also changed his expression.

"Rock Solid." The giant axe's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "Is your demise related to the Flame Emperor?"

Only then did the Venerable Rock realize who was in front of him. He forcibly suppressed his boiling anger, but his voice still trembled with excitement.

He knelt on one knee before the giant axe and said angrily, "Lord Giant Axe, it was Emperor Yan who poisoned me!"

I miraculously obtained a high-grade treasure weapon, the Heavy Mountain Mace, in a dangerous place on the Primordial Star, but before I could even rejoice, Emperor Yan suddenly appeared.

He demanded the treasure from me, and when I refused to hand it over, he attacked me directly. I... I was no match for him at all.

He not only stole the Chongyue Mace, but he probably also took away the three ordinary treasures I was carrying after my death. This is an irreconcilable enmity!

"Lord Giant Axe! We were also killed by the Flame Emperor!"

"Lord Giant Axe, please do us justice!"

The two Hongmeng universe overlords who had been resurrected earlier could no longer contain themselves. They knelt down in the starry sky, lamenting:

"Emperor Yan has stolen my priceless treasure, the Netherworld Pearl!"

"Emperor Yan stole the Thousand Rock Realm, a high-level class treasure I discovered, and then tried to kill me to silence me!"

The accusations are filled with blood and tears.

The founder of the giant axe's face turned completely grim, beneath which lay a terrifying raging storm. He glanced at the pale-faced Lord of Chaos City, and already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

"I understand." His voice was icy. "I estimate the remaining two are about the same size as you. I'll deal with them together after I revive them."

Having said that, he fell silent and continued to perform the resurrection ritual. His immense will once again shook the river of time and space.

This time, a fourth figure materialized.

That was a cosmic overlord from the powerful Rockbone race, named Rockbone Venerable.

His divine body was made of an incredibly solid rock, and the resurrection process seemed to be more difficult than the previous ones, with the divine power of the giant axe being consumed more noticeably.

The moment Venerable Rock Bone regained his consciousness, he roared with grief and indignation: "Emperor Yan stole my clan's most treasured artifact, Thousand Peaks!"

His accusations were more serious than those of the previous ones. The treasure called Thousand Peaks was of extraordinary significance to his clan, not only as a powerful artifact but also as a symbol of their spirit.

The impact of losing it on the community would be immeasurable.

Giant Axe's expression remained unchanged, but the chill in his eyes deepened.

He didn't stop, and immediately began to resurrect the last fallen cosmic overlord.

Ripples spread across the river of time once more, and this time, the giant axe's expression was noticeably more solemn.

This was a powerful figure who perished not long after the primordial star was created. His life imprint is heavier due to the passage of time, and it would take more effort to retrieve it from the river of time.

The creator of the giant axe slightly increased his power output, and soon a figure, surrounded by sharp sword energy and exuding an extraordinary aura even in a weakened state, slowly took shape.

Dragon Sword Master!

As soon as he was resurrected, he instinctively assumed a defensive stance, his body surging with sword energy. But then he took in his surroundings—the creator of the giant axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and several fellow cultivators with grief and indignation on their faces.

All the memories flooded my mind instantly, especially the humiliation and despair of that last moment.

The Dragon Sword Venerable suddenly looked up, pointing in the direction he remembered, his voice hoarse: "I fought desperately, trying to protect the sword with my life... but Emperor Yan ignored me, instead sneering and saying something like, 'Since that's the case, I'll take it myself'..."

He was describing the scene where Emperor Yan killed him and took away the three ancient swords along with all the treasures.

This was the last thing he saw before he fell, and it became an indelible inner demon for him after his resurrection.

As the Dragon Sword Venerable finished his final accusation, the atmosphere here became extremely oppressive.

The five resurrected cosmic overlords stood together, their weakness from their recent resurrection unable to conceal their overwhelming grief and indignation.

Although their accusations differed in detail, they all pointed to the same thing—Emperor Yan had committed murder and plunder in the Primordial Star Path, targeting not only allies but also powerful geniuses of the human race!

The Giant Axe Founder slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the five resurrected beings. His gaze was as heavy as a mountain, making everyone feel a suffocating pressure.

He didn't lash out immediately, but instead looked at the Chaos City Lord beside him.

At this moment, the Lord of Chaos City was even paler. Although he had a premonition, when the truth was spoken by the five people who had just been resurrected, and was thrown directly at him without any room for rebuttal, his last hope of maintaining the stability of his clan was shattered.

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he just sighed deeply.

"Sigh..."
