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

In the primordial universe, a vast and silent starry sky.

Three thoughts traversed endless space and time, descending and then three majestic figures vaguely appeared.

One of the figures was exceptionally perfect; her slender figure could be vaguely seen through the dazzling starry veil surrounding her, enough to captivate even a cosmic venerable.

Another figure was surrounded by countless snake shadows, its enormous silver-white snake head surveying the surroundings, and the space around its body distorted into countless vortexes.

The last one was an exceptionally large, oval-shaped sphere phantom, which looked incredibly mysterious.

These three figures were the leaders of the three top races, three super beings at the level of the strongest in the universe.

"The Empress!"

The silver-white snake head looked at the slender figure and asked in a deep voice, "You suddenly summoned the Mechanical Race and my Demon Race. Now that we're all here, shouldn't we get down to business?"

"Dreamtea, isn't Zhenjiao coming?" the Zerg Queen asked softly.

"I can represent the demon race," the silver-white snake head said again. "Let's get down to business. I don't have time to waste here with you."

"Your Majesty, just say it," a voice also came from inside the oval sphere.

"good!"

The slender figure didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and said solemnly, "As you probably know, the human race has recently produced two unparalleled geniuses who can be described as once in tens of millions of epochs: the Eclipse King 'Lawrence' and the Soul-Slaying King 'Meng Qi'."

Their strength increased extremely rapidly; after only a few hundred thousand years of cultivation, they possessed the invincible power of a King, and all had the record of slaying powerful opponents of the same level. Meng Qi, in particular, enslaved one of our clan's Queen Mothers, who was at the peak of the King level, even while still at the Marquis level.

"snort!"

Upon hearing her words, Mengcha suddenly snorted coldly, "Damn humans!"

It should be noted that in this era, in addition to the emergence of several geniuses among the human race, the demon royal family, the Time-Space Nightmare Beast lineage, also produced a peerless genius named Spencer.

But Naspenser was killed by traitors from the human race, and even his lifespan was exhausted by a special drug. Even the Lord of the Universe could not revive him by reversing time and space. How could the Dream Demon Ancestor not be furious?

Of course, some powerful members of the demon race judged that the insect race might have been responsible for this, but the three races were in an alliance of offense and defense in dealing with the human race, so this topic could not be brought up in the open.

The Zerg Queen completely ignored the Dream Demon Ancestor and continued, "Not long ago, we tracked down the Eclipse King and sent a Cosmic Venerable to try and kill him. However, he escaped and even used the opportunity to break through to the Cosmic Venerable realm!"

Upon hearing this, the Mechanical Father God asked in a deep voice, "Even so, is it necessary to alarm the two of us?"

"That little guy's rapid rise to become a Universe Venerable is indeed remarkable, but it will be much more difficult for him to continue to grow stronger. In most cases, he will just be adding another high-level Venerable to the human race. We should just have the strong members of our race keep an eye on him in the future."

"If that's all there is to it, then of course there's no problem."

The Zerg Queen wore a mysterious smile: "But what if the Celestial Eclipse possessed an avatar thousands of times stronger in terms of life's genetic level and of a colossal size?"

"What?"

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?"

After hearing her words, the Dream Demon Ancestor and the Mechanical God quickly pressed for details. If the situation was true, the other party posed a great threat and they could not allow it to continue to grow unchecked.

"certainly!

The Zerg Queen nodded: "This was witnessed by Soul Slayer, who belongs to my Zerg faction. How could it be false?"

"That's troublesome!" Dream Demon Ancestor frowned slightly.

"yes!"

The voice of the Mechanical Race Father God rang out again: "With such a powerful avatar, the Heavenly Eclipse Venerable could easily become a cosmic overlord if he cultivates for a while longer, and might even become a top-tier cosmic overlord."

"That's right!" The Zerg Queen's voice was no longer gentle, but rather deep: "Humanity currently only has two top overlords. Are we just going to stand by and watch another one emerge?"

It's important to understand that for a top-tier power that possesses the strongest being in the universe, the role of a top-tier cosmic overlord is in no way inferior to that of a cosmic lord.

Although their strength is somewhat weaker than that of the true ruler of the universe, as the highest combat power capable of being resurrected by the strongest beings in the universe through time reversal, they dare to fight fearlessly for their race. Every time the primordial star opens, these powerful beings are often the ones who reap the greatest rewards.

If the three races allow the Celestial Eclipse Venerable to become a top cosmic overlord, it would be equivalent to a slight increase in the overall strength of the human race.

Even if a promising genius emerged from one of the powerful or even weaker races in the primordial universe, they might try to stop it, let alone the hostile human race.

The Mechanical God said in a deep voice, "This problem does need to be solved, but it is very difficult to kill a Cosmic Venerable who has an avatar."

If the other party is smart, he will definitely stay in the core territory of the human race for a long time before venturing out. By then, even the strongest beings in the universe might not be able to make a move.

"Then let's target him!" The Zerg Queen looked seriously at the other two: "There aren't many places in the primordial universe where a cosmic venerable can obtain opportunities. Apart from some special secret realms, there are only primordial stars."

Now that the Primordial Star is opening, the Celestial Eclipse Venerable might use his clone ability to venture inside. At that time, we can send a powerful expert to kill his clone and then seize the treasures on his body.

To make him lose more than he gains, it would be best to destroy his special life form clone. Recreating such a massive clone would require a huge amount of resources, which would also slow down his cultivation speed.

"I agree! But..."

The Demon Ancestor of the Demon Clan said in a deep voice, "You should put in more effort. The Insect Clan are natural-born masters of the soul; they might be able to completely annihilate the enemy with a soul attack."

"Don't flatter us. I think it's you demons who should be putting in the most effort!"

After hearing the Dream Demon Ancestor's words, the Zerg Queen sneered: "Among the four peak races of the primordial universe, your demon race has the most top overlords. The other three races combined probably don't even have as many as you. You expect us Zerg to contribute more?"

"But once your Zerg's cosmic overlords unleash their power, their combat strength is in no way inferior to that of the top cosmic overlords. So, in that sense, the Zerg actually have the largest numbers."

The Dream Demon Ancestor smiled and said, "Besides, my demon race isn't doing nothing either. We just need to exert our efforts slowly and methodically in this matter. Let the insectoid race exert their efforts first to motivate us, and let the insectoid powerhouses take the lead so we can concentrate our strength to get things done."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" The Zerg Queen rolled her eyes at him. "After all this time, you still don't want to send your strongest warriors first. All this dawdling is useless."

"You two stop arguing for now," the Mechanical Race Father God quickly said. "How about we follow the old rules and increase the bounty on the Celestial Eclipse Venerable together? Then, naturally, some strong individuals from within the race or those who act alone will deal with him."

"good!"

"I agree!"

The Zerg Queen and the Dream Demon Ancestor nodded and said.

After the three parties reached a consensus, the Dream Demon Ancestor seemed to remember something and asked again, "By the way, didn't you say that the human race still has that Meng Qi? Do you have any information about him?"

"I don't have any here. We machine races don't have souls, so it's difficult for us to plant spies in other races." The machine race's father god looked innocent, but the other two completely ignored him.

The Machine Race may indeed lack souls, but its subordinate races are not. The spies they control are all under the unified management of the Machine Race, and many geniuses from various races have fallen at their hands.

"We Zerg do have some intelligence."

The Zerg Queen's words drew the attention of the other two: "According to our intelligence department's analysis, that Meng Qi should be an avatar of Lin Yuan."

"Lin Yuan? Who is this?" Dream Demon Ancestor asked, puzzled.

The Zerg Queen explained, "He is the disciple of Yan Yue, the newly promoted Venerable of the Human Race. He follows a similar path to Venerable Yan Yue when he was immortal, but he shows signs of surpassing his master."

"However..." she hesitated for a moment.

"But what?" The Machine God calmly looked at the other party. "If you have a problem, just say it. Is there something that even the three strongest beings in the primordial universe couldn't solve?"

"Alright!" The Zerg Queen nodded. "I don't quite understand their fighting style, master and apprentice."

"They are keen on self-destructing their divine bodies to injure their enemies. Venerable Yan Yue has a special life clone, but she rarely takes action. Usually, it is an ordinary human clone that carries a part of the large divine body as a bomb."

"Her disciple Lin Yuan also has a large divine body, which he demonstrated in the battle of the Burial Fire Basin, but his genetic level is very low, and he prefers to use ordinary human clones to act, which I find very puzzling."

The Dream Demon Ancestor was speechless: "What kind of problem is this? Going out to explore without using your strongest clone!"

"Yes!" The Zerg Queen also had a strange expression: "The clones are just tools in their hands, and they are not even fully developed tools."

Although Venerable Yanyue may become a top overlord, it will take her a lot of time and resources to recover her divine body, which will inevitably affect her speed of strength improvement. She may soon be left behind by Venerable Tianshi.

As for Lin Yuan, he was unable to cultivate a special life form, and the intelligence department assessed that he posed little threat, suggesting that at most a few Venerables be deployed to hunt him down.

The three strongest beings in the universe looked at each other in bewilderment. This master and disciple pair was indeed a bit eccentric. Surely they couldn't have deliberately pulled off such an abstract operation just to lower their guard?

"Even if the threat isn't significant, we still need to intervene!" the Dream Demon Ancestor declared. "Each race should send a few Venerables to keep an eye on their movements. If there's an opportunity, we should strike directly. It would be good if the human race lost even one Universe Venerable."

"I second that!"

"The Zerg agree."

"Then it's settled. Now everyone go home."

All three figures vanished, and the starry sky quickly returned to calm.

……

Not long after, the oval sphere and the slender figure appeared in another part of the starry sky; it was the mechanical father god and the insect queen.

"Empress!" came the voice of the Mechanical Father God: "What do you mean by summoning me here alone again?"

"mechanical!"

The Zerg Queen said softly, "What's your opinion on what I just said about the 'Demon Race having the most top-tier cosmic overlords'?"

"snort!"

Upon hearing this, the Mechanical God snorted coldly and said, "The demon race has the most top-tier cosmic overlords, and many of their races possess the talent of creating clones, making them even more troublesome than the damned human race!"

"really!"

The Zerg Queen also sighed, "If it weren't for the irreconcilable conflict between the Demon Ancestor, the Old Beast God, and Zhenjiao, the Demon Race would probably have been the most powerful force in our primordial universe long ago."

The mechanical god was also quite moved.

The demon race was originally incredibly powerful, possessing three of the strongest beings in the universe before the appearance of the Dream Demon Ancestor. However, they were at odds with each other, and eventually the Demon Beast Ancestor perished for some reason. The Old Beast God also broke away from the demon race to create the Starry Sky Giant Beast Alliance, and their power was far less than before.

Even so, not long after, the Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race broke through to become the strongest in the universe. They are still the strongest among the four peak races!

For the human race, the Zerg and the Machine race are wary of the Primordial One, the strongest being in the cosmic sea, and of the brilliant future; but for the demon race, what they are wary of is its unchanging strength from the past to the present.

"However, even if the demon race has the most top-tier cosmic overlords, there's nothing we can do about it!" he quickly said.

"Even if we find an opportunity to kill these top overlords, Zhenjiao and Mengcha can resurrect them. In that case, not only will we gain nothing, but our grand strategy against the human race will also be unable to continue."

"No!" The Zerg Queen shook her head. "Now there's a perfect opportunity!"

She patiently explained, "According to information from our clan's infiltrators, the demon race has actually produced two peerless geniuses at the same time, and they are in no way inferior to the Heavenly Eclipse Venerable I just mentioned."

"The one from the Time-Space Nightmare Beast lineage has been killed by the human race and cannot be resurrected even if time is reversed."

It is said that the one from the Sirius lineage possessed a special life form with a genetic level thousands of times higher, allowing him to grow into another top overlord.

"And he's only a Realm Lord now, much easier to deal with than Venerable Heavenly Eclipse!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing her words, the Machine God exclaimed, "You Zerg truly are the most skilled at soul attacks; your intelligence network is truly impressive."

"However..." he changed the subject, "I think we should discuss this with Giant Axe. They have a virtual universe; maybe they've found out some information too!"

"Okay, I'll contact him right away."
