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

Chapter 24: A Shocking Turn of Events, Exploration

Zhang Zhiwei was trying to resolve the various incidents caused by Lin Yuan and Ye Fan's crossover, and to make the major forces forget about this visit. The overall strength of the Under One Person world was not high, and he estimated that not many members would want to play it in the future. After passing the test, he could focus on his cultivation.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan's divine power clone returned to the Swallowed Star World once again through the group teleportation function.

Because the original consciousness was constantly chatting with people online, acting as a relay station for signals, the time it absorbed here was roughly the same as that in the Under One Person world. It didn't pull off the absurd situation of going out for a trip only to find that thousands of years had passed upon its return.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, having not noticed anything amiss, and took a step towards Lunna Star. His true form had previously gone to keep company with the Flame Star Grass under the guise of secluded cultivation. It could act as a barrier when outsiders came to disturb him, and since it was not a complete life form, it did not have its own clear consciousness and would not reveal Lin Yuan's secret.

But at that moment!

boom!

The cosmic space around this divine power clone instantly froze, and even the original body underground on the planet Lunna was immobilized by the inexplicable force without any power to resist.

Strangely, the Flame Star Grass, whose size was comparable to that of a planet, was unaffected and continued to absorb the advanced materials that Lin Yuan had prepared for it.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious power descended upon the place, scanning Lin Yuan's main body and divine power clone with endless pressure. He felt that the entire universe was watching him, and all his secrets seemed to be exposed under this gaze. Even the few Devil Fruits in his World Ring could not escape its detection.

……

"Where am I?"

When Lin Yuan regained consciousness, he found himself in a mysterious place where endless points of light floated around. Every time a small point of light got close to him, it made his heart pound with fear!

Lin Yuan could clearly sense the immense energy contained within these specks of light. Even the five King-level powerhouses he encountered when leaving the initial universe could not compare to it. How could a King-level powerhouse, who was already a pillar of various races in the outside world, be inferior to a speck of dust like this?!

Reaching out to look, he too had transformed into a faint, illusory state, though the light was far less intense than those points of light.

"A consciousness entity?" Lin Yuan seemed to understand. Looking at his surroundings again, he felt a strange sense of familiarity: "Is this the original will of the primordial universe wanting to bestow upon me a secret innate technique?"

The situation here is very similar to that in the original work, when Luo Feng's Youhai clone reached 10081 times the perfect genes allowed by the original universe and obtained the innate secret technique "I am the universe".

Although he didn't know why the primordial universe had bestowed upon him this innate secret technique, he understood one principle: when all resistance is futile, it's better to close your eyes and enjoy it.

call out!

Before Lin Yuan could close his eyes, a point of light in the distance suddenly accelerated and transformed into a streak of light, crashing fiercely into him.

boom!

The moment the light point squeezed into the consciousness, countless images flashed before Lin Yuan's eyes:

The primordial universe absorbed almost all the energy it had previously released, then continuously compressed and gathered it into a single point, before exploding at a certain moment, and a new universe was born!

Throughout the universe, the primordial cosmic will began to recreate life according to the archives left behind. The first to be created were the eight Beast Gods, who were born with perfect genes and were the masters of the universe, occupying the richest regions of the universe.

Following this were the myriad intelligent races of the universe, including the Feathered Race, the Ape Race, the Wolf-Headed Race, the Mechanical Race, and the Insect Race. After approximately hundreds of billions of epochs, some of these races began to have powerful individuals break through to the level of Universe Venerables or even Universe Lords. Subsequently, the powerful individuals of each race began to hunt down the Eight Great Beast Gods. The darlings of the primordial universe always died in the early stages of evolution.

Continuing on, a race emerged that broke through the limitations of the original universe, becoming the strongest beings in the universe. As a result, their ambition grew wildly, and they dreamed of dominating the universe!

However, in countless cosmic reboots, each time a new, more powerful being emerges, all-out wars are put on hold while local wars continue, and the universe enters a relatively stable and peaceful phase.

As the primordial universe continued to evolve, more and more powerful beings were born, making it impossible for wars to sweep across the universe to occur again. Instead, the strongest races transferred their powerful members and geniuses to the smaller universes they created, and then quietly waited for the cycle of reincarnation to restart.

……

Along with the images, countless complex streams of information flooded into his consciousness, but before Lin Yuan could even look at them, he was kicked out of the mysterious space with a "bang".

In the primordial universe, beneath the planet Lunna, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The outside world was calm and peaceful. Little Fire was still engrossed in eating its big gift package. Its leaves and roots outside were much thicker than when it was planted. It seemed that it would be able to fully digest the advancement materials in another thousand years. At that time, the Lin family would welcome its sixth immortal powerhouse.

Surely no one would think that Lin Meng, who was able to create a mid-universe empire, and Lin Xuan, who worked in the Glorious Branch for hundreds of millions of years, didn't cultivate immortal-level auxiliary life forms?

No way! No way!

Everything that had happened before seemed like an illusion, but Lin Yuan knew that what he had experienced was real, otherwise why couldn't he take back his divine power clone?

A divine clone, as the name suggests, is a clone created by an immortal powerhouse by dividing a portion of their divine power. It can be transformed into a pure energy body at any time, and can be recalled with a single thought when the original body is face to face with it.

Now, Lin Yuan can control this body freely, and it's no problem to put it into the World Ring, but he can no longer convert it into divine power for absorption.

"A clone technique?" he wondered.

The clones spawned by the Golden Horned Beast in the original work also have this characteristic. After reviewing the information in his mind, although he didn't understand how it was achieved at all, in short, Lin Yuan can now have a real clone!

This is completely different from the divine power clone. Even if one body perishes, the consciousness will transfer to the other body. This directly gives Lin Yuan a second life, making him extremely tolerant of mistakes when exploring secret realms or searching for treasures!

Afterwards, as long as he hides his clone in a safe place, he will be bolder when seeking opportunities, and his chances of obtaining treasures will be higher. As long as he avoids being enslaved by someone's soul or killed along causal lines, his combat power and wealth accumulation will both be much faster than others.

As Lin Yuan examined the clone before him, he pondered to himself, "I've taken quite a few things from chat groups to the Devouring Star World before, but the Primal Universe Will has never reacted. Why is it that this time, after returning from my trip, it has unexpectedly bestowed upon me a secret innate technique?"

"Is it related to the item's grade and properties?"

The black divine wood obtained by the Lord of Yuan'ao from the Cosmic Sea was of a very high grade and severely repelled the Primordial Universe. Therefore, after the will of the Primordial Universe noticed it, it directly sent the Ancestral God Cult to join forces with many other forces to besiege it.

"The Devil Fruits and other items from other worlds that I took out before were of too low a level, so it ignored me?"

Comparing the fate of the Lord of Yuan'ao, he believed he had guessed the truth, but a look of worry immediately appeared on his face: "In that case, I need to confirm whether there is a divine object in the original universe with similar effects and levels to the Elixir of Immortality, otherwise I will have to travel to other worlds to use it for healing in the future."

……

No amount of guessing can compare to verifying it yourself.

Lin Yuan then created another divine power clone and sent a message directly to the group chat.

[Lin Yuan: @WhiteBeard, I need to go to your world to take care of some things. Please approve my cross-world application.]

The world of One Piece, Fishman Island.

After killing Akainu, which led to a joint operation by the World Government and many other forces to hunt him down, the Whitebeard Pirates fought a guerrilla war for a while before arriving here.

The rest of the pirate crew haven't fully digested the Millennium Spirit Marrow and reached their peak yet. Fighting them now would result in heavy losses. Whitebeard, who considers every crew member as family, couldn't bear to do that, so he found a place to rest.

Fishman Island then came into view, its unique geographical advantages making it safer than other places.

Although I'm reluctant to say it, it's impossible for the entire fleet to be completely free of naval or World Government spies, so whether they hide on a deserted island or at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they will inevitably be found.

But even if the other party knows their location, they wouldn't dare to make a move if they stayed here:

On one hand, a lot of strong people are needed to completely wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates. Most of the people with the strength to fight on the sea are Devil Fruit users. Even if there is a pure physical master like Garp, he would not dare to fight under the water pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters. If the coating breaks, everyone will die!

You should know that the merfolk, who are most skilled in naval warfare, previously took refuge under the banner of Whitebeard. Who would dare to start a war underwater?

On the other hand, even if Im and the Five Elders use the legendary Uranus, Fishman Island is right below Mary Geoise. As long as they don't kill Whitebeard immediately, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will be fully activated, and a world-destroying tsunami will sweep everything away, forcing the world to start all over again!

In the Dragon Palace, the sons had all gone out to explore, while Whitebeard was attending a banquet prepared by Neptune when a chat group notification suddenly popped into his mind.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan's application to cross over, he struggled internally for a long time: "There's nothing left at sea to support my continued progress. The cultivation resources in the group all have to be exchanged for Devil Fruits. What if Lord Lin Yuan comes in and starts ransacking this place?"

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan, who had been waiting for a response for a long time, narrowed his eyes.

"I specifically tagged him, so there's no possibility that he didn't receive the message. It's quite obvious now that Whitebeard has other ideas."

He sneered, "No wonder he's a character created by the Japanese; even with a facade of righteousness, it doesn't stop him from being ready to betray anyone at any time! The culture of subversion is ingrained in their very bones!"

It's no wonder Lin Yuan thought that way.

Although Meng Qi and Bai Huzi didn't go to the Under One Person World team building event, Zhang Zhiwei and the other two kept the whole thing live-streamed, and even made a video of it and posted it in the group afterward, so everyone had a deeper understanding of the group teleportation function.

In this situation, what is Whitebeard afraid of?

[Whitebeard: Lord Lin Yuan, I have agreed. You may come over now.]

Holding out wasn't a solution, and just as he was about to ask Old Zhang to open the door for him again, a message in the group showed that Whitebeard had changed his mind.

"Ha... I'll give you one more chance!"

hum!

A man clad in crimson-gold armor suddenly appeared in the banquet hall of the Dragon Palace, startling Neptune and the three mermaid princes who were entertaining guests.

"Lord Lin Yuan."

The white-bearded man's respectful greetings shrouded him in mystery, and no one else dared to move.

"No need for formalities!" Lin Yuan waved his hand, glancing at the white-bearded man. "I'm just looking around. You guys continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot amidst the white-bearded man's sigh.

……

In the Priest Starfield, on the planet Lunna, Lin Yuan, having retracted his divine power clone, was filled with doubt.

"No change. It can't be that this benefit is only available to those from the Under One Person world."

He began to ponder what the biggest difference was between the two returns.

"The divine power used to condense the clones is the same, and they all go to randomly selected group member worlds, so it can only mean... my total divine power has changed!"

As is well known, the total amount of divine power of an immortal powerhouse is fixed. After splitting off a portion of divine power, unless it is reabsorbed or completely destroyed, it cannot absorb more, and this portion of divine power cannot be used again.

Unlike the innate secret technique, this clone gives a person a body exactly the same as the original. The clone can store as much divine power as the original body. At its full strength, it should be about twice that of a normal immortal, but now it only has a little more.

"After the divine power clone left, I felt that my divine power was fully restored in no time. At the time, I thought it was just my imagination." Lin Yuan suddenly realized: "Now it seems that when it went to the Under One Person world, it was deemed to have completely dissipated by the original universe will, so it allowed me to replenish my divine power."

But it returned not long after. The primordial cosmic will thought there was a bug in the rules, so it specifically checked me. Finding nothing, it rewarded me with the clone as a unique innate technique, using this method to fix the bug!
