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

In the live video uploaded by Yan Lingji, the girl Xiao Li's eyes flashed with blue light as she stubbornly tugged at her sleeve.

In the group chat interface, messages scrolled rapidly.

Yan Lingji no longer cares about the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

[Yan Ling Ji: Help! That Xiao Li won't listen to anything I say!]

[Yan Lingji: She's right in front of me right now, I don't dare agree to anything she asks.]

[Yan Lingji: Not to mention that the group teleportation function requires the consent of all members in the other world, even if I dared to apply, what if she caused a huge disaster in another world?]

[Angel Yan: I understand your concerns. My suggestion for dealing with this unknown entity is to continue observing, or I can give you something to trap her.]

[Angel Yan: I think the solar flare furnace developed by Tianji Wang Hexi should be useful. It is an energy cage that simulates an extreme environment and can isolate the interaction of internal and external energy and analyze the basic structure of the target.]

While the effectiveness of cross-world usage is unknown, at the very least it can provide some analytical data and determine whether it poses a threat. I can request temporary access permissions to help you.

[Meng Qi: This method sounds complicated, involving cross-border technical support. Will it even achieve 10% of the desired effect in the end?]

[Meng Qi: If you ask me, @Yan Ling Ji, next time she bothers you, just open the red envelope and send her to me. No matter who she is, she has to behave herself in my territory.]

It must be said that Xiao Meng's method is simpler and more direct: if you can't solve the problem yourself, hand it over to someone who can.

Ye Fan: Junior Brother Meng, stop fooling around.

[Ye Fan: The risk of directly teleporting an unknown source of danger is too great, and besides, you yourself may not be safe.]

He was referring to the test that the Celestial Venerable had set for Meng Qi. Before meeting their requirements, the other party probably wouldn't pay any attention to Meng Qi. In any case, the Celestial Venerable of this world were masters at manipulating the river of time, and rescuing people from it was no more difficult for them than eating or drinking.

Ye Fan: Miss Yan Lingji, I do have a treasure that might be of help.

I obtained another set of stone armor in Purple Mountain, which has a certain blocking and restraining effect on special things such as evil spirits. I can lend it to you to try.

[Han Li: Fellow Daoist Ye's method is more reliable.]

[Han Li: Before the enemy and friend are clear, the best strategy is to strengthen our own defenses while conducting limited probing. Rashly escalating the conflict is not advisable.]

As a professional sixth-place player, Han Li still prefers a steady development strategy.

At this moment, Gu Xun'er also came to join in the fun.

[Gu Xun'er: Sister Yan Lingji, don't worry. The ancient clan has a rich collection of books. I remember there are several ancient soul fighting techniques that are specifically designed to target the soul and can also resist possible mental influences. I can tell you the key points of the incantation first.]

[Ancient One: An interesting situation.]

Gu Yi gently joined the discussion, but one sentence made Yan Ling Ji even more nervous.

[Ancient One: @YanLingJi, I once glimpsed a corner of the future of your world through the Eye of Agamotto. The land of Loulan indeed hides secrets beyond the mortal realm.]

[Yan Ling Ji: Huh? Transcendent? Aren't the Demon God and the Goddess's Tears transcendent enough?]

[Gu Yi: This is nothing! The best is yet to come.]

[Yan Ling Ji: ...]

……

After going through all the chat logs, Lin Yuan stepped forward to give a summary.

[Lin Yuan: Hello everyone.]

Lin Yuan: I think I understand now. Yan's plan is limited by the world's constraints, but the idea is worth considering.

Xun'er's soul fighting skills can be learned; having an extra layer of protection is never a bad thing. However, Yan Lingji's world lacks fighting spirit, so it's hard to say how effective they will be.

After considering all the options, Ye Fan's stone armor seems the most practical, at least it can verify whether she belongs to the category of Yin spirits.

Lin Yuan: As for Xiao Meng...

[Meng Qi: Boss, I was wrong! I was just joking!]

[My dearest older sister: What? Am I wrong?!] Ya Ya retorted.

[Lin Yuan: Hmm. Your idea is the most dangerous; don't come up with such terrible ideas again.]

Lin Yuan: @Yan Ling Ji, how about this, I need to lay low for a while right now.

Since I'm basically just killing time anyway, I might as well go and relax in your world, and while I'm at it, help you sort out this problem.

[Lin Yuan: Follow Ye Fan's advice and keep her calm for now. I'll take care of some things and then come over.]

[Yan Ling Ji: That's wonderful! Thank you, Lord Lin Yuan! Thank you everyone!]

Yan Lingji visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Just as the discussion about Yan Lingji and Xiao Li came to a temporary end, Xun'er spoke again, her tone light and cheerful.

[Gu Xun'er: Oh, right, I have a funny story to tell you all.]

[Gu Xun'er: Xiao Yan is fifteen years old this year, and the Xiao family's annual clan gathering is about to begin.]

[Meng Qi: Xiao Yan, the originator of the "rejection of engagement" genre!]

Meng Qi spoke with emotion, clearly showing that he was intrigued.

[Meng Qi: Xun'er, how is he now? Is there anything wrong with his talent? Did Yao Lao absorb his fighting spirit?]

[Gu Xun'er: . ]

[Gu Xun'er: It's obvious you haven't carefully read your previous messages. Yao Chen has long been my personal alchemist, and he's already resurrected!]

[Meng Qi: Huh? Really? Hahahaha...]

Ignoring Xiao Meng's act of pretending to be dead for the sake of demonstrating embarrassment, Xun'er continued.

[Gu Xun'er: Because he didn't become an alchemist, his cultivation speed can't compare to that in the memory dungeon, but he's already a nine-star Dou Zhe, making him one of the top geniuses in the entire Jia Ma Empire.]

[Han Li: So, will Nalan Yanran still come to annul the engagement?]

[Angel Yan: According to the memory copy data, Nalan Yanran's main reliance in announcing the engagement was Xiao Yan's talent problem and the gap in their backgrounds. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get Yun Yun to agree to let her bring the Yunlan Sect elders to annul the engagement.]

[My Beloved Older Sister: Break off the engagement? What does that mean? Is it like those stories where someone looks down on someone and then breaks off the engagement?]

Tu Shan Ya Ya asked curiously, seemingly intrigued by the matter.

[Gu Yi: A tiny disturbance in fate can trigger drastically different future trajectories; this is indeed a point worth observing.]

Gu Yi remained a lighthearted person, only interested in watching the show.

[Gu Xun'er: This is exactly what I wanted everyone to see.]

Xun'er's voice carried a hint of anticipation.

Gu Xun'er: I'll start a live stream when the clan meeting begins in a few days.

Let's see if Nalan Yanran will still come, given how many things have changed, and if she does, what her attitude will be.

Let's also see if Xiao Yan, originally the chosen one of destiny, will experience a different life trajectory.

[Meng Qi: Watching a live stream of annulment? That's great! I'll definitely be online on time.]

[Ye Fan: Interesting.]

[Ye Fan: Now that the premise of "never underestimate a young person's potential" no longer exists, I'm genuinely curious about how the story will unfold.]

Ye Hei was quite the old hand at entertainment, and he showed an unusual interest in this kind of thing.

[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Boundless Heavenly Venerable. This humble Taoist also wishes to witness the grand family gathering and the brilliance of young talents in this other world.]

Lin Yuan: Okay, I'll take a look then.

……

After finishing the group chat, Lin Yuan recalled the Dou Qi Continent that Xun'er had mentioned, and he also remembered the group of people he had brought back from other worlds.

With a thought, he teleported back to one of his own inhabited planets through the divine kingdom. As soon as his figure materialized in the cultivation area, everyone immediately noticed.

Mandala, Soul Emperor, Ying Huanhuan, and others were all present. Each of them possessed a refined aura and was only one step away from breaking through to immortality.

At Lin Yuan's suggestion, they were just one step away from completely mastering a lower-level fundamental law, but they tacitly stopped in order to achieve the extremely fast law comprehension speed during their Realm Lord era, and instead turned to comprehend the corresponding higher-level fundamental law.

"It seems no one has slacked off." Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

"It's all thanks to Brother Lin Yuan's clone keeping an eye on us. Otherwise, I would have broken through to the Immortal realm long ago," Zi Yan said, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Ying Huanhuan, standing beside him, glanced at Lin Yuan with her cool eyes. Although she didn't say anything, her disappointment and resentment were clearly evident.

……

To prevent Qing Yanjing from doing what he did back then from happening again, he specially left several divine power clones here.

First, he would help the others solve problems they encountered during their cultivation. Second, he would keep an eye on the women and suppress them when they were caught up in their passion, so as not to let them waste the period of rapid progress of the Realm Lord's Law.

The results seem good now, but the girls still harbor some resentment.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone; his divine power clone, which had been stationed there for a long time, had clearly relayed everyone's cultivation progress to him:

Ying Huanhuan, Old Dragon Emperor Zhukun, Zi Yan, and Soul Emperor are among the most talented, and their speed of comprehending the laws is also relatively fast. They have all reached the advanced or even peak level of the Marquis title.

As for Xiao Xuan and Jinglian Demon Saint, who were resurrected after their fall, their cultivation progress is slightly slower due to some damage to their talents. They are currently at the early to advanced stages of the Marquis title.

Mandala, who was originally the strongest, now has a comprehension of the laws comparable to a peak Marquis, and is not far from being able to pass the eighteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge and become an Immortal King. It seems that there is no need to continue suppressing her power.

"Mandala," Lin Yuan spoke first, "You should accumulate for another few hundred thousand years. If the fundamental laws of space stop progressing by then, and you really can't hold back, then just break through to immortality directly."

Mandala respectfully replied, "Yes, sir."

Lin Yuan turned his gaze to the women: "You will be training with my true form for a period of time. I will personally explain the 108 essential aspects of the fundamental laws of space to help you master them more quickly."

These words elicited varying reactions from the crowd.

Ying Huanhuan's resentment lessened slightly; Zi Yan immediately beamed with joy; Cai Lin's eyes also flickered slightly, and she nodded gently.

Soul Emperor, Xiao Xuan, Zhu Kun, and the others remained calm and showed no unusual expression.

Lin Yuan explained, "These girls have a high aptitude for spatial manipulation. If I personally guide them, the efficiency will be even higher."

Continue your study. If you have any questions, you can ask the divine avatar, who will answer your questions.

"Realm Lords have long lifespans. With your talents, accumulating knowledge gradually and advancing your understanding of the laws to the King-level before breaking through is by no means difficult."

Zi Yan, who advanced to become a Dragon Phoenix by consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit; Medusa, who successfully advanced to become a Nine-Colored Devouring Python; and Ying Huanhuan, the Ice Master, who awakened from the mystery of reincarnation—these three individuals possess talents in the fundamental laws of space that are no less than those of the demon race's Space-Time Nightmare Beast lineage. It would be a real pity not to nurture them vigorously.

Mandala is already the strongest, and after helping her clarify the essence of the laws of space, it's a certainty that she will reach the King level.

The Soul Emperor smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said, "We will naturally obey your arrangements, Your Excellency."

His calm expression made it impossible for Lin Yuan to tell whether he truly had no grudges about the matter.

"To be able to follow you, sir, to this vast world where the path of cultivation seems endless is already an immense opportunity. As for the young ladies being able to receive your personal guidance..."

"You must be aware of their feelings for you, sir." His gaze swept over Ying Huanhuan and the other two, his tone calm: "It is only natural for you to give them extra guidance, and we understand."

"Moreover, we also believe that we can reach the corresponding level through our own efforts."

Xiao Xuan nodded in agreement: "The Soul Emperor is right. In the struggle for the Great Dao, each person must rely on their own opportunities and efforts."

The starting point provided by the adults is already sufficient; the rest of the journey is up to us to walk.

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint and the others nodded in agreement. Strictly speaking, everything they possessed was bestowed upon them by Lin Yuan, so what right did they have to interfere with his decisions? It wasn't like he owed them anything.

Zhu Kun laughed heartily and patted Zi Yan on the shoulder: "Girl, learn well from Lord Lin Yuan. I also need to work harder so that I don't fall too far behind you."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan said no more: "Alright, Huanhuan, the rest of you will leave with me later. The rest of you can continue your cultivation as planned."
