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

After seeing off Venerable Wanxing and Venerable Baihua, Lin Yuan's consciousness reconnected to the virtual universe.

At the summit of the central mountain range of Thunder Island, the palace gates of the Dragon Lord opened, and Lin Yuan stepped inside.

Inside the main hall, the Lord of Dragons sat high on his throne, closing his eyes to rest.

Sensing Lin Yuan's arrival, he opened his eyes, a hint of a smile flashing in them: "You've arrived? Please have a seat."

Lin Yuan sat down as instructed and, without beating around the bush, asked directly, "Senior Long Xing, I've come to inquire about the reforging of the Azure Dragon Halberd. Is there any news from the Master of Craftsmen?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Dragons showed a hint of helplessness on his face: "The entire race of the Primordial Universe knows that old guy's temper. He does things entirely according to his whims, and he won't even bother to reply to messages until the project is finally completed."

"But you're right, the Azure Dragon Halberd was reforged rather than rebuilt from scratch. With his skill, it should be about time after more than six thousand years."

He raised his hand and tapped the air, sending out an encrypted communication.

Lin Yuan waited quietly.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, ripples appeared in the void before the Lord of Dragons, and an aged voice emanated from them:

"Long Xing, why are you rushing me again? Didn't I say I'd let you know when it's finished?"

The Lord of Dragons wasn't annoyed, and laughed, "God of Craftsmen, I'm just asking on behalf of my human race's juniors. Over six thousand years has passed; even if you were to forge a top-tier treasure weapon from scratch, it should be finished by now, right?"

"What do you know!"

The God of Crafts said irritably, "Although the Azure Dragon Halberd was originally of good quality, how could a treasure I forged not be enhanced at all? So over the years, I have added a lot of my own treasures to it."

Lin Yuan's heart stirred, and he quickly said, "Junior Lin Yuan thanks the God of Crafts for his kindness."

"Hmm, so you're that young fellow who slew six top overlords in the Ancestral God Sect?" the Master of Craftsmen praised. "Not bad, it's good that young people have drive. My work will be completely finished in another hundred years. At that time, you can have Long Xing bring you to pick it up."

century……

Lin Yuan quickly made a mental calculation.

There is a special restriction inside the Xuan Tian Crystal that can clearly show the number of tokens that have been released so far.

Three hundred and four yuan.

Fifty-six more tokens are needed for the Xuan Tian Palace to be born. According to the pattern of token birth on the original star, it will take at least several thousand years, and at most tens of thousands of years, for all fifty-six tokens to appear. In short, the probability of them all appearing within a few hundred years is extremely low.

Lin Yuan felt relieved and cupped his hands, saying, "Then this junior will go to Craftsman God Star after some time. Thank you for your help, senior."

"Hmm," the God of Crafts responded, then cut off the communication.

The Lord of Dragons smiled and looked at Lin Yuan: "That old fellow, the God of Craftsmanship, puts almost all his mind into the art of weapon crafting. He doesn't care about human relationships at all. That's why his skills are better than mine. You'll understand later."

"I'll personally accompany you then, and let you witness firsthand just how skilled this best weapon refiner in the primordial universe, besides the Mountain-Sitting Guest, truly is."

"Thank you, Senior Longxing."

……

Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the Yan God Clan avatar was meditating in his mansion in Chaos City when the Dragon Lord's communication arrived as scheduled.

"Lin Yuan, let's go to Craftsman God Star."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a hint of anticipation flashing in them.

Yinfa Secret Realm, Craftsman God Star.

This is a giant planet with a diameter of approximately 3.2 trillion kilometers, suspended deep within the Yinfa Mystery.

However, it was not formed naturally, but was a top-level treasure of the flying palace type, personally crafted by the God of Crafts. It was both his lair and an indestructible war fortress.

On the planet's surface, mountains rise and fall, rivers meander, and traces of weapon forging can be seen everywhere.

Some giant mountains were leveled and transformed into enormous furnaces; some canyons were carved out and became warehouses filled with precious materials; and on the vast plains, thousands of forging platforms stand, each once the birthplace of a precious treasure.

When Lin Yuan and the Lord of Dragons passed through layers of space and stepped into the God of Craftsmanship, the scene before them shocked him.

The interior of the planet Artisan God is far more expansive than it appears from the outside, clearly indicating that it has undergone special modifications.

In the center of this space, a towering figure, tens of millions of kilometers tall, sat cross-legged.

It was a mountain giant, its entire body made of some kind of dark golden rock, with hundreds of glass-like arms dancing around it, each arm performing a different task.

Some arms were carving intricate patterns, some were melting materials, and some were quenching and cooling them...

Hundreds of arms each perform their own function, carrying out hundreds of processes simultaneously, yet without any disorder, their movements are fluid and seamless.

This is the true form of the God of Crafts, a special life form whose divine body is so enormous it is suffocating!

In the world of Swallowed Star, the God of Crafts holds an extremely transcendent position.

He is not the leader of any race, but a lone powerhouse who has established himself in the universe by relying on his weapon-forging skills.

His skill in weapon crafting is universally acknowledged as the best in the entire primordial universe, except, of course, this excludes the mysterious and unpredictable Mountain Guest.

This is why many super powers ask him to help them refine treasures; the connections and wealth he has accumulated are beyond the reach of many of the strongest beings in the universe.

What is even more commendable is that the master of the craftsmanship god once received guidance on the art of weapon crafting from the mountain hermit. Although he did not formally become his apprentice, he always respected him as his master.

Moreover, the God of Crafts is a genuine fourth-order universe lord. With his vast divine body reserves and the numerous treasures he possesses, he can withstand even the strongest beings in the universe for a long time and is extremely difficult to kill.

This is why he can maintain a neutral position in the universe, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

Before the master craftsman, a gourd-shaped furnace, entirely black, floated.

The furnace is about three meters high, and its entire body is as black as ink. There are no patterns or decorations on its surface, but it has a chilling aura about it.

This is the supreme treasure of the God of Craftsmen. It is a special fire source furnace of the top-level treasure, and it is an extremely rare special treasure.

The furnace is burning a mixture of primordial golden flames and void flames.

The power of this flame is terrifying to the extreme; even the flames escaping from its exterior are enough to annihilate a powerhouse at the level of a cosmic overlord.

The flames at the core are incredibly hot; even a cosmic overlord would not survive a single breath inside.

The black gourd is connected to the main body of the Craftsman God Star by thirty-six void chains.

To form a planet-level energy cycle system.

The immense energy of the Craftsman God Star is continuously channeled into the gourd furnace through the chains, ensuring its flames never die out.

It was with the help of this black gourd that the God of Crafts was able to create one masterpiece after another that shook the universe.

At this moment, the furnace lid was opened, and a beam of crimson-gold light shone through the furnace opening, illuminating the entire mountainside in a magnificent golden glow.

"You're here?"

The voice of the God of Craftsmen resounded like a thousand thunderclaps throughout this space.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the furnace lid opened completely, and a stream of crimson-gold light flew out and hovered in front of Lin Yuan.

It was a long spear that was engulfed in crimson flames.

The spear is nine feet nine inches long, with a dark gold body covered with countless fine dragon scale patterns.

The spearhead is spiral-shaped, and its sharpness can be clearly felt even from tens of thousands of miles away.

"I named this gun 'Burning Heaven,' meaning to burn the heavens and earth."

The voice of the God of Craftsmen carried a hint of pride, "It is based on the supreme treasure Azure Dragon Halberd, and incorporates the Void Divine Gold, Nine Nether Profound Iron, and Star Sand that I have treasured for many years..."

He rattled off the names of many precious materials, each a top-grade material for crafting treasures, and priceless.

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Dragons' expression changed slightly.

"You've certainly put a lot of stuff in there over the years," the Dragon Lord remarked.

"Hmph." The God of Crafts snorted coldly, "This little guy can kill six top overlords in a row. His combat power is the king among the strong in the same level. The Heaven-Burning Spear is a dead end in his hands. I am naturally willing to spend the money."

"Take it and test its power." With a wave of his hand, the God of Craftsmanship sent the Heaven-Burning Spear flying towards Lin Yuan in a streak of crimson-gold light.

Lin Yuan reached out and grasped the spear, a feeling of being connected to it through flesh and blood welled up within him.

"Great gun!" Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

With a thought, he channeled his divine power into the spear, and the patterns at the spear tip suddenly lit up, unleashing a condensed crimson-gold spear beam.

Wherever the spear's edge passed, space was easily torn apart, leaving a crack that could not be healed for a long time.

With Lin Yuan's current strength, wielding the Burning Heaven Spear, he was confident that a single strike would cause even a cosmic overlord's divine body, protected by a high-grade treasure armor, to suffer more than 10% damage!

The God of Craftsmanship's eyes revealed satisfaction: "Not bad, you were able to unleash seventy or eighty percent of its power on your first use. It seems that your compatibility with this spear is indeed very high."

"Thank you, senior!" Lin Yuan bowed respectfully.

"No need to thank me, it's just a transaction between us." The God of Crafts waved his hand.

"And now that you have the weapons, you can leave." He buried himself back in refining the weapon, "I have more to do and don't have time to entertain you."

Lord of Dragons shook his head helplessly and said to Lin Yuan, "Let's go, that old guy's just like that."

……

After leaving the God of Craftsmanship, Lin Yuan took out the Mysterious Heaven Crystal and sensed the progress of the token's birth once again.

Three hundred and thirty-one yuan.

There are still 29 pieces left before they are all born.

"It'll be soon," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Instead of returning to Chaos City, he set off directly for the Primal Star, numbered 7315.

According to the rules of the temple's emergence, as long as one possesses the Xuan Tian Crystal and is on this primordial star, regardless of their location, they will be automatically teleported inside once the temple opens. This is to protect those weaker token holders.

If powerful individuals with tokens need to go to the vicinity of the temple to enter, then some super-powerful individuals who have not obtained tokens can simply wait near the temple entrance, seize the tokens from weaker individuals, and then use them to enter the temple and cause chaos.

Similarly, when powerful individuals who venture into the temple leave, they are usually randomly teleported to random areas on the original star.

Similarly, when powerful individuals who venture into the temple leave, they are usually randomly teleported to random areas on the original star.

However, if the obtained treasure is too precious, it will also be intercepted by other super strong individuals.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for a powerful person who had obtained a precious treasure to escape unscathed.

Either one's own strength is enough to overcome all obstacles, or there are other super strong individuals who come to help; otherwise, it would be difficult to leave safely with precious treasures.

This is why it's rare for someone with weak strength to possess precious treasures.

If a weak person possesses a precious treasure, it's fine if they don't reveal it, but once it is, they will naturally attract the covetous eyes of countless strong people.

Lin Yuan was well aware of this, but he wasn't worried. With his current strength, he was confident he could escape unscathed even if he faced a master of the universe.

Moreover, he has the entire human race behind him.

He composed himself and began to explore the primordial planet.

He didn't need to stay near the temple like a headless fly; he could explore the original planet while waiting for the temple to open.

Lin Yuan extended his divine sense to cover an area of ​​hundreds of millions of kilometers, searching for fluctuations indicating the emergence of treasures while keeping an eye out for any alien cosmic overlords he could hunt.

The original planet has only existed for three hundred epochs, and is still in its early stages. During this period, the frequency of treasures appearing is still very high, and various rare materials are emerging one after another. This is the golden age for adventure.

Over the next few thousand years, he encountered several treasures appearing in the world.

Sometimes it's a top-tier treasure, sometimes an ordinary treasure, and once it was even a high-grade treasure weapon that attracted dozens of cosmic venerables to fight over it.

Lin Yuan showed no mercy and made a forceful move, taking the high-grade treasure weapon into his possession. He also killed two alien venerables who had tried to compete with him for it.

As for hunting down cosmic overlords...

Since the battle at Thunderfire Canyon, the alien powerhouses have become wiser. Once they discover his whereabouts, they immediately flee, giving him no chance to make a move.

In thousands of years, he has only successfully hunted one alien overlord, who was an unlucky fellow who didn't flee decisively enough.

However, little by little, and with the scattered treasures and precious items they acquired, the total value reached several dozen treasure points.

As time passed, Lin Yuan continued his adventures while keeping a close eye on the progress of the token's emergence.

Three hundred and forty yuan... three hundred and fifty yuan... three hundred and fifty-five yuan...

More than two thousand years have passed.

On this day, Lin Yuan was flying over a lava lake when he suddenly sensed an anomaly in the Xuan Tian Crystal within his World Ring.

He took out the Xuan Tian Crystal, and saw that the surface of the crystal shone brightly, with a line of text appearing on it.

"All 360 Xuan Tian Crystals have appeared in the world, and the Xuan Tian Palace is about to open."
