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

Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!

The Super Auction was said to be starting soon by King Mingguang and others, but this was only for powerful kings who possessed eternal life.

In reality, the auction was still 50,000 years away from its official start.

Lin Yuan couldn't just sit idly by during such a long gap in the middle.

He knew that he had already risen to the top of the alien race's kill list. If he were to set foot on the extraterrestrial battlefield again, what awaited him would probably no longer be a hunt for kings, but a thunderous strike from a cosmic venerable.

Keeping a low profile and accumulating strength is the safest option at present, but this does not mean doing nothing.

Lin Yuan's gaze fell upon the path his teacher, Venerable Yan Yue, had walked—the inheritance of the Divine General.

Following the path taken by Venerable Yan Yue, Lin Yuan set his sights on the "Blazing Cloud Divine General" inheritance, which was more suitable for him.

However, after checking, he discovered that all the inheritance slots had already been reserved, and the next opening would not be until five thousand epochs later. This was undoubtedly unacceptable to Lin Yuan, who was eager to improve his strength.

Fortunately, his invincible status as a king and the vast network of relationships within the Virtual Universe Company provided him with convenience.

After making inquiries from various sources, Lin Yuan finally contacted a peak-level expert from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank who happened to hold a spot for the inheritance of the Blazing Cloud God General.

After some negotiation, Lin Yuan successfully persuaded the other party to transfer the quota at the cost of 38 billion Mixed Yuan Units.

Time flies, and the day of departure is approaching.

Just then, Lin Yuan received news that his teacher, Venerable Yan Yue, and Venerable Tian Shi, Lawrence, were also about to set off for the Primal Star to explore.

Their vehicles were far faster than Lin Yuan's Blazing Feather, and the Luo Na Universe Kingdom, where the Blazing Cloud God General's legacy was located, happened to be somewhere between the Virtual Universe Company headquarters and the Primal Star.

"Teacher," Lin Yuan chuckled, "this disciple is shameless enough to ask to hitch a ride on your spaceship."

A hint of a smile flashed in Venerable Yan Yue's eyes: "You sly fellow, you know how to pick your time. Come on up, I have some things to tell you on the way here."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Lin Yuan was secretly pleased.

It's a wonderful thing to save a lot of travel time and be able to travel with two newly enthroned Venerable Ones.

In the dark universe, a spaceship made entirely of an unknown silver metal is speeding at hundreds of times the speed of light.

Inside the spaceship, Venerable Yan Yue, Lawrence, and Lin Yuan sat together.

"The Blazing Cloud God General is under the command of the Fire Sky Beast God, so he also follows the path of the fusion of the laws of fire and space. His place of inheritance is located deep in the 'Crimson Flame Secret Realm' of the Luo Na Universe Kingdom."

Venerable Yan Yue sipped the divine wine in his cup and said slowly, "The current guardian of the Crimson Flame Secret Realm is named King Crimson Beacon, a king of unparalleled strength. His teacher, King Fire Spirit, is my senior brother."

Lin Yuan nodded earnestly: "This disciple understands."

He thought to himself that this relationship might bring some convenience to the land of inheritance.

"The inheritance of the divine generals is profound and unfathomable," Lawrence interjected. He had only recently broken through, and his temperament had become increasingly deep and reserved.

"The earlier levels mainly depend on personal accumulation. You have a solid foundation and are well-suited to the inheritance of the Blazing Cloud God General. You should have no problem passing the first six thousand levels. How far you can go after that depends on fate."

In the entire history of the human race, only two people have been able to obtain the complete inheritance of a divine general. Therefore, although Lawrence has confidence in Lin Yuan, he does not think he can really succeed. As long as his divine body's amplitude can reach sixty or seventy times through the inheritance, then the 30 billion spent will not be a loss.

Venerable Yan Yue added, "The succession of a divine general depends on compatibility. Throughout history, there have been many who entered the Temple of Succession but gained very little, so it is essential to maintain a calm mindset."

She clearly didn't think Lin Yuan would succeed.

At this point, her gaze sharpened slightly, "Moreover, although the Land of Inheritance is located in the core territory of our human race, there are still many dangerous creatures within the secret realm itself, so we must not be careless."

"I understand," Lin Yuan replied solemnly.

These are the words of experience shared by the two venerable ones, and their value is immeasurable.

As the spaceship traversed the dark universe, time seemed to be both stretched and compressed.

After an unknown amount of time, the spaceship shuddered slightly and left the dark universe, appearing on the outskirts of a fiery red star field.

The stars here are unusually active, radiating scorching light, and the nebulae display a magnificent reddish-orange hue, which is a characteristic feature of the territory of the Luo Na Universe Kingdom.

"We've arrived." Venerable Yan Yue looked out the porthole. "The Crimson Flame Secret Realm is not far ahead. We shall part ways here."

The spaceship docked on the outskirts of an asteroid belt. Lin Yuan bowed respectfully to Venerable Yan Yue and Lawrence, saying, "Teachers, have a safe journey. May you both return victorious from the Primal Star!"

"Go, focus on receiving the inheritance. Perhaps we can meet again on the Primordial Star when you have succeeded." Venerable Yan Yue waved his hand.

"Lin Yuan, take care." Lawrence nodded in greeting.

Lin Yuan said no more and flew into the Blazing Feather.

The crimson-gold spaceship transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the depths of that scorching star field, while Venerable Yan Yue and his companions also changed direction and continued their journey towards the Primal Star.

……

The Crimson Flame Secret Realm truly lives up to its name.

As soon as the Chiling entered the secret realm, a scorching aura rushed towards them.

Fire-elemental energy particles filled the void, and in the distance, a massive nebula could be seen slowly rotating, with occasional crimson energy storms sweeping across, scorching and slightly distorting the space itself.

Some strange fiery life forms roamed the starry sky, emitting energy fluctuations of varying strengths.

Guided by the coordinates, the Chiling traversed numerous fiery nebulae and energy turbulence, finally arriving at a relatively stable void.

Ahead lay a vast crimson continent, above which floated a majestic crimson-gold palace. Mysterious laws and runes flowed around the palace, keeping the violent energy at bay.

"Master, the spaceship has arrived in the airspace surrounding the Crimson Beacon Palace and received a guidance signal," the intelligent life form Huang Jin's voice rang out.

"Follow the signal to stop," Lin Yuan ordered.

Soon, following the guidance, the Chiling passed through several winding channels and finally docked at a dedicated parking apron.

The hatch opened, and Lin Yuan, clad in dark gold armor, stepped out. Immediately, a high-ranking immortal deity, a Marquis, came forward to greet him with a respectful expression.

"Lord Chaos King, I am here to await you on the orders of Lord Crimson Beacon King. Please follow me." He was clearly a close attendant of Crimson Beacon King.

This was the title Lin Yuan gave himself, intended to control all paths and recreate the chaos.

"Hmm." Lin Yuan nodded slightly, put away the Blazing Feather, and followed the other party toward the magnificent crimson-gold palace.

Passing through the faint light membrane enveloping the palace, the burning sensation lessened, replaced by a gentle, fire-based energy.

The palace has a spacious interior with dragon-carved pillars, flame totems carved on the walls, and dark red crystals paving the floor. Walking on it, one can almost feel the pulse of the earth's core lava.

The guide led Lin Yuan to a spacious hall.

At this moment, there were more than ten figures in the hall. Some were sitting, some were standing, and all of them had extraordinary auras. The weakest of them were at the high level of the King-level, and there were also several at the peak of the King-level.

They all have different appearances, but most of them are strong members of the human race. There are only two alien kings from the Hong Alliance.

In the main seat in the center of the hall sat a figure.

This man was tall and robust, wearing a suit of blood-red armor, with a resolute face and a head of red hair that was casually draped like burning flames.

He exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble, like an active volcano that could erupt at any moment. He was the guardian of this place, the invincible king-level expert—King Chifeng!

Lin Yuan's arrival attracted everyone's attention.

When they sensed the equally unfathomable aura emanating from him, many people were surprised. It was truly rare for someone to have reached the level of a King-level invincible being yet to have received the inheritance of a Divine General.

King Chifeng's gaze also fell on Lin Yuan, his eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

A smile played on his lips as he spoke in a booming voice: "Master Yan Yue's precious disciple? Lin Yuan?"

"It is indeed I." Lin Yuan stepped forward: "Lin Yuan greets Senior Brother Chi Feng!"

"Haha, good!" King Chifeng laughed loudly: "I have long heard that my uncle has taken in an extraordinary disciple who has broken through from the Marquis level to the King level in less than two million years."

"I've been guarding this place all along, which is why we haven't had the chance to meet. I never expected you to come and receive the inheritance of the Blazing Cloud God General."

Upon hearing this, a low murmur arose in the hall. The title of Venerable Yan Yue, coupled with his unparalleled strength as a king, instantly made Lin Yuan the focus of everyone's attention.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. I am only able to achieve what I have today thanks to the help of my teachers and the clan," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

To everyone's surprise, King Chifeng shook his head: "I had just as many resources as you back then, but I didn't have your cultivation speed. Junior brother, there's no need to be so modest."

Lin Yuan smiled but remained silent. This was the other party's home turf, and he couldn't overstep his bounds.

King Chifeng didn't mind, and generously ordered people to serve fine wine. The atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively, and Lin Yuan took the opportunity to inquire about the detailed information of the Blazing Cloud Divine General's inheritance from his senior brother.

As time passed, about two years later, more than twenty inheritors gathered in the main hall of Chifeng Hall.

"Gentlemen!"

King Chifeng abruptly stood up, raised his crimson jade wine cup, and declared in a booming voice: "The inheritance of the Blazing Cloud Divine General is about to begin. Those gathered here are all elites of our human race and the Hong Alliance. I hope everyone will gain something and reach new heights in strength!"

"Thank you, Lord King Chifeng!" the crowd responded in unison, raising their cups in a toast.

"There's no time to lose, follow me!" King Chifeng acted swiftly, putting down his wine cup and leading the way out of the hall.

The crowd followed closely behind.

King Chifeng led everyone onto a huge crimson spaceship.

The spaceship transformed into a crimson streak, departing from the Crimson Beacon Palace and heading deeper into the Crimson Flame Secret Realm.

The scenery along the way became increasingly bizarre.

Below lies a churning sea of ​​lava, billowing fiery clouds; the sky is ablaze with crimson aurora borealis, twisting and shifting; a colossal fiery tornado connects heaven and earth, radiating an aura of destruction.

The spaceship skillfully avoided various dangerous areas and finally arrived at the edge of a giant basin shrouded in endless fog.

"We've arrived!" King Chifeng's voice rang out.

Everyone looked out through the porthole.

Deep within the misty basin, thirty-two majestic palaces could be vaguely seen floating in mid-air.

These palaces are cast entirely in pure gold, with intricate and mysterious patterns engraved on their surfaces. They float silently, exuding an aura of vastness and holiness.

The basin was not empty; countless ferocious fire monsters roamed within it.

Some of them resemble giant lizards, covered in lava shells; others are like firebirds, trailing long fiery tails; still others are like elemental aggregates, radiating violent energy fluctuations, with some powerful individuals even reaching the Marquis level!

"Those are the Flame Fiend Beasts of the Crimson Flame Secret Realm." The Crimson Flame King's voice carried a hint of murderous intent. "Attracted by the aura of the laws inherited from the Divine Generals, they have taken up residence here and will attack any living being that approaches the palace."

These Flame Fiend Beasts range in strength from the Universe level to the peak of the Marquis level. Although they pose little threat to King-level experts, their large numbers and the particularly formidable individuals among them mean they should not be underestimated.

He pointed to the thirty-two crimson-gold palaces: "Those are the inheritance temples of the Blazing Cloud God General. Each temple can accommodate one person to receive the inheritance."

When the inheritance begins, the temple will release divine light to form a protective barrier, and before that, the temple is unclaimed.

You may choose any one of the seats; once you enter, the inheritance will begin!

King Chifeng's gaze swept over the crowd: "I believe none of you want to listen to my nonsense anymore. Now go, and I wish you all good fortune in your martial endeavors."

As soon as the words were spoken, the inheritors, who could no longer contain themselves, instantly transformed into streaks of light, shooting towards the depths of the Misty Basin like arrows released from a bow.

"roar!"

"Hey!"

"hiss--!"

The swarm of Flame Fiends below was instantly alarmed, letting out deafening roars. They pounced on the intruders with a barrage of attacks, including fiery breath, lava meteors, and energy beams.

"Get out of the way!" A burly Stoneman King-level expert unleashed a punch, and a terrifying shockwave swept in front of him, pulverizing dozens of Flame Fiend Beasts and a large area of ​​space, clearing a path through them.

A Shadow Clan member from the Hongmeng Alliance, at the peak of the King level, moved with unpredictable speed, easily dodging all attacks, and in a few blinks, he approached a palace.

Lin Yuan also moved, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the tightly closed gate of a crimson-gold palace.

Om-!

The moment his palm touched the palace door, the entire crimson-gold palace trembled violently, and the dazzling light completely engulfed Lin Yuan's figure. Countless mysterious flame patterns appeared out of thin air, eventually intertwining to form a spherical light shield that firmly enveloped the entire palace.
