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

The little fox casually granted permission to view the memory copy; if it wanted others to help it, it should at least let them understand the cause and effect.

When the veteran members of the group saw that this hot-tempered little fox girl had actually taken the initiative to ask for help, they immediately became interested.

After a brief silence, the group, having finished viewing the memory copy, began to speak enthusiastically.

[Maoshan Lin Jiu: This thing was born from the dark side of emotion and power, and it erodes the mind. It is no ordinary ghost or demon. Even I am not entirely sure about its existence.]

However, if it's convenient, Miss Ya Ya could send over some samples. This humble Taoist will try to communicate with the Ancestral Master to see if there's a way to counteract this.

Uncle Nine's answer was pragmatic and also reflected his meticulousness.

Ye Fan: The black foxes are very weak individually, and their attacks target the mind and soul. The cultivation system of my world should be able to solve this problem.

Cultivators in the Dao Palace Secret Realm need to nurture their spirits within their five internal organs to protect themselves, giving them a strong resistance against inner demons and external evils. Perhaps this method can be cultivated to enhance mental defenses, so that once one's strength is greatly increased, one will no longer need to fear being corrupted.

Lin Yuan: @My dearest sister, little fox, the problems in your world are special. I suggest starting with strengthening the origin of the soul.

If the soul is strong enough, it will naturally be immune to all evil.

I have Chaos Spirits that can enhance the soul, and there should also be many profound soul cultivation techniques in the group. You can all consider exchanging for them; personal strength is fundamental.

Lin Yuan offered a very tempting solution that would fundamentally improve his resistance, and he could also provide the necessary resources.

Shi Hao: Black Fox? That sounds like a lot of trouble.

However, before I came to the Kunpeng's nest, the Willow God gave me a few branches for self-defense. I can lend you one.

The Willow God is incredibly powerful. With the Willow God's branches around, no amount of erosion can get close. I just wonder if it will have any impact on your world...

The mischievous kid's method was simple and brutal: he directly borrowed the cheat code from the big shot. The Desolate Emperor, who had a happy childhood, was indeed arrogant.

Meng Qi: Demon King, don't rush. If you're not in a hurry, wait until the Monkey King... oh, that Great Sage Equal to Heaven comes out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and I'll see if I can get you a hair from him.

If the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom were willing to become one of that other self, the problems in your world could be easily solved, but it all depends on that other self's mood.

Looking at the various suggestions in the group, Ya Ya was a little overwhelmed. She subconsciously looked at the advisor beside her.

Tu Shan Rongrong listened quietly to the method she was relaying, her mind racing.

"The willow tree's branches and the Monkey King's hair?" Rongrong murmured to herself, her brows furrowing slightly. "These methods are indeed good, but..."

She looked at Ya Ya and said in a serious tone, "Second sister, these methods all involve great beings that are far beyond our comprehension."

Leaving aside whether we can obtain it successfully, even if we do, what would be the result of allowing such a power to intervene in our world?

Will this cause drastic changes in the world that we cannot control? Will my sister's path, and the future of Tushan, be forever altered?

Ya Ya was stunned. She was only thinking about helping her sister solve the problem, but she hadn't thought about it this deeply.

"We have limited understanding of these group members," Rongrong continued. "Without trust, I don't recommend rashly introducing too much external force; the risk is too great."

"I prefer Lin Yuan's suggestion of enhancing the soul, and Ye Fan's suggestion of cultivating a new system to strengthen oneself. These two paths are more reliable."

Elevating one's own soul essence and cultivating new methods to protect one's mind starts from within ourselves, enhancing our resistance and immunity.

This way, even if Black Fox causes trouble again in the future, the pressure on the older sister will be much less, and she may have more energy to find a better solution.

Moreover, this will not rely excessively on external forces; the direction of the world remains in our own hands.

After listening to Rongrong's analysis, Tushan Yaya felt somewhat unsatisfied, but had to admit that it was indeed the safest approach.

"Okay, let's do it your way." Ya Ya took a deep breath. "Let's first exchange for things that can enhance ourselves, and then continue to work hard to become stronger, strong enough to help our sister, strong enough to solve any problem!"

……

In a remote star system called Heng, two towering figures hang in the void.

All around were cold cosmic dust and broken celestial debris, with only the faint nebulae left behind by distant, extinct stars providing a dim light source.

This place is secluded enough to be the ideal location for the major powers of the primordial universe to conduct private negotiations.

The Lord of Stars, the leader of the Star Alliance, was surrounded by dreamlike starlight phantoms, and his voice had a unique rhythm.

She smiled and said, "Lord of the Void Gold, the human race must already know the purpose of my visit."

After all, the Flame Emperor is a renowned powerhouse in the universe, and it would be a pity to suppress him for too long.

"Our Star Alliance is willing to pay a price in exchange for his freedom and to forge a friendly relationship with humanity."

Opposite her, the Lord of Void Gold, clad in dark gold armor, had eyes as sharp as knives.

He didn't exchange pleasantries, but went straight to his question: "Did the Mountain Hermit send you?"

The problem hits the nail on the head.

Before being suppressed, Emperor Yan mentioned who his teacher was. Therefore, when faced with this force that suddenly jumped out to try to rescue him, the first person the human race thought of was the mysterious and unpredictable strongest being in the universe—the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

The Lord of Stars did not answer, but a mysterious smile appeared on his lips beneath his veil.

She neither admitted nor denied it.

This is precisely the strategy of the Star Alliance: they are eager to win over the Mountain Man, using his fame and abilities to enhance the alliance's status, but they would never dare to fabricate a relationship with this strongest lone wolf out of thin air.

The wrath of the strongest being in the universe is something they cannot withstand, so the best approach is to create a fog of mystery and use ambiguity to guide the other party to guess what they are relying on.

However, to be able to rise to one of the highest decision-making levels of the human race, the Lord of Void Gold must be incredibly shrewd.

The Lord of Stars' feigned mystery might fool some less meticulous individuals, but in the eyes of the Lord of False Gold, it only served as proof of his lack of confidence.

If she truly had the explicit instructions or endorsement of a powerful figure, she could have responded openly; why would she need to be so secretive?

This is clearly a trick to mislead the human race and increase their own bargaining power.

Having seen through this, the Lord of False Gold sneered inwardly. Facing an ordinary force without a powerful backer, the human race's attitude was naturally different.

He stopped beating around the bush: "Emperor Yan's actions were heinous. We can exchange him for his freedom, but only if you can produce ten top-tier domain-level treasures. Then everything is negotiable."

"Ten supreme treasures of the pinnacle realm?" The Star Lord's smile froze. "Are you joking? Does your entire human race possess that many treasures? This is no business negotiation!"

"Talk business?" The Lord of False Gold scoffed, his eyes sharpening even more. "Xinglan, put away your tricks."

"What are you plotting? Do you really think the human race doesn't know? Aren't you just trying to use Emperor Yan to build a relationship with the Mountain-Sitting Guest, or even win him over... Isn't the friendship of the strongest being in the universe worth this much?"

He stepped forward, an invisible pressure emanating from him: "If the Mountain Hermit truly wanted to save his disciple, why would the Star Alliance need to intervene?"

Every word was piercing, pointing directly to the biggest weakness of the Star Alliance's operation—their actions lacked legitimacy, and their desire to save the Flame Emperor was merely wishful thinking.

The Lord of Stars' expression shifted. The Lord of Void Gold's words completely tore away all pretense. The other party not only saw through their schemes but also pointed out with stark reality that they were simply not qualified.

"It seems that the human race has no sincerity in releasing the Flame Emperor, nor any intention of forming an alliance with my Star Alliance." The Star Lord's voice turned cold.

"Don't make me laugh," the Lord of False Gold retorted without hesitation. "You don't even have a single strongest being in the universe, and some of your races' territories border my human race. What benefit would it bring to my human race to ally with the Star Alliance?"

Negotiations had completely broken down, and the anger in his heart was almost consuming the Lord of Stars!

She gave the Lord of False Gold a deep look: "This is the tragedy of not having the strongest being in the universe overseeing things. Anything you try to do will be laughed at by these top powers."

In the end, the Lord of Stars could only leave with a heart full of resentment.

……

In the primordial universe, there exists an independent spacetime interlayer jointly controlled by four supreme races.

Four figures, representing the highest authority in the primordial universe, faced each other from afar.

The Human Giant Axe Founder's voice was deep and resonant as he broke the silence: "I'm sure you all know about the movements of the Star Alliance; their reach is getting longer and longer."

This time, they dare to openly declare their intention to interfere in the internal affairs of our human race and rescue the Yan Emperor who betrayed our race; their inflated ambition is no longer concealed.

In the hazy light, the Zerg Queen's voice, filled with endless allure, rang out: "The Great Axe is right."

"The Lord of Stars is accelerating the integration of those scattered races. They are no longer satisfied with living in a corner or merely existing as a loose alliance. Their goal is to reach the pinnacle of power."

This intervention in the Yan Emperor incident was both an attempt to make contact with Zuo Shan Ke and a blatant demonstration of his own influence and capabilities.

From another direction, the voice of the Machine God Father was devoid of any emotional fluctuation: "The Star Alliance lacks the strongest beings in the universe as the ultimate deterrent force."

Without a true god, all their expansion is built on sand dunes, and they cannot withstand a full-scale conflict with any of us; their ideas remain mere fantasies.

"uncertain."

The Zerg Queen's voice rang out again, "Our latest intelligence indicates that the Star Lord's actions are very aggressive. She is not only making moves on the human side, but has also secretly made multiple contacts with the True God of the Northern Frontier."

"The Northern Frontier?" A deep voice rang out; it was the Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race. "That solitary strongest being in the universe?"

"He almost never gets involved in power struggles, focusing only on his own cultivation and exploration of the cosmic sea. It would be extremely difficult for Xinglan to persuade him to join the Star Alliance."

"Under normal circumstances, that is indeed the case," the Zerg Queen admitted. "But what if the Lord of Stars offers him irresistible benefits, or promises to build an alliance entirely dominated by the True God of the Northern Frontier?"

It's important to understand that once a true, supreme being of the universe is in charge, even if only nominally the leader, the Stellar Alliance becomes incredibly attractive to neutral factions.

These races are vast in number. If they were to absorb them, the number of universe lords would increase dramatically in a short period of time, and their power might even surpass that of any of our races.

The atmosphere within the spacetime interlayer became even more somber.

Surpassing a single dominant race? This means that the existing balance of power will be broken, and the pattern of the four dominant races occupying most of the resources of the original universe will be challenged like never before.

The founder of the giant axe spoke again, his words striking the hearts of every powerful figure like a heavy hammer.

"Moreover, they have made multiple preparations. Making contact with the True God of the Northern Frontier is a long-term strategy, and they are currently trying to rescue Emperor Yan in order to befriend another of the strongest beings in the universe, the Mountain-Sitting Guest."

He paused, then continued, "Even if we can't truly win over the Mountain Clan to join us, just establishing a good relationship with them would be a huge strategic success for them."

This would greatly compensate for the Alliance of Stars' lack of a true god, at which point their efforts to integrate neutral forces would be unstoppable.

The Mechanical God nodded: "The Mountain Guest's treasure-refining ability does indeed have extremely high added value."

Zhen Yaozu snorted coldly, "They've certainly got a good plan; we absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

The Zerg Queen surveyed the crowd: "So, a consensus has been reached? Is it in the interest of any of us to simply watch the Coalition continue to expand?"

The answer is obviously no.

Although there are conflicts among the four dominant clans, they share a high degree of common interest in maintaining their dominant position and suppressing the rise of newcomers.

"In that case, I propose..." The founder of the giant axe's gaze swept over the other three:

"In the next ten thousand epochs, our race will reduce the intensity of conflicts in places such as the extraterritorial battlefields and devote more energy to dealing with the Star Alliance."

Cut off their outstretched tentacles, scatter the groups they try to absorb one by one, and ruthlessly suppress their rising momentum!

Let them understand that not everyone is qualified to stand on the pinnacle stage of the primordial universe. To aspire to be a supreme power without possessing the strongest being in the universe is a path to disaster!

"Can."

I second that.

"agree."

The leaders of the three elite clans made their statements one after another.

There is no formal alliance, but a tacit understanding based on shared interests has been reached.
