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

Of course, Lin Yuan's greatest gain from this trip to the Xuan Tian Palace was not these things, but the Beast God's Heart that he comprehended during his fierce battle with Venerable Jin Feng.

His most valuable asset from this journey was the ability to turn combat into instinct and to make every part of his divine body a weapon.

"With the Heart of the Beast God, my Flame Flash can be improved even further." Lin Yuan closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Countless battle scenes flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.

The duel with Venerable Jiaoyun, the three-way battle with Venerable Bingqiong and Venerable Jinyu, the sword formation contest with Lord Qingxuan, the power clash with Lord Xingyan, and the exhilarating head-on collision with Venerable Jinfeng...

The experience gained from each battle is refined and integrated under the control of the Beast God's Heart, transforming into nourishment that propels the advancement of the arcane arts.

Time slips away quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

"The sixth move of Flame Flash..." he muttered to himself.

The first five moves, Flame Flash—Burning Body, Burning Star, Burning Soul, Flowing Light Protection, and Burning Heaven—are designed for different combat scenarios.

The sixth move, Lin Yuan named "Flame Flash - Myriad Transformations".

The core of this technique is the result of the fusion of the Heart of the Beast God and the Secret of Fighting.

Unlike traditional, fixed-form secret techniques, Wan Hua has no fixed moves. It can instantly evolve into the most suitable attack method for the current situation based on the opponent's fighting style and changes in the battlefield environment.

It can be one shot, or it can be a thousand shots.

It can be a direct, forceful attack, or it can be a sneaky, unexpected attack.

It could be the annihilation of matter, or it could be an impact on the soul.

"This is the true pinnacle of ultimate secret techniques." A sudden realization welled up in Lin Yuan's heart.

A true master is not bound by fixed techniques.

They can adapt to changes in their opponents and adjust their tactics according to the situation on the battlefield, making every strike the most lethal one.

This is the true essence of the Beast God's Heart, and also his greatest gain in his battle with Venerable Jin Feng.

"However, to truly master the myriad transformations, more practical experience is needed." Lin Yuan stood up and stretched his limbs. "For now, let's deal with other matters first."

With a thought, a figure appeared in the quiet room.

That was the Queen Mother of Garan. Ever since she was suppressed by him on the Primordial Star, she had been tormented by the fires of law in the purgatory of the Flame Sky Palace. Now her consciousness was already blurred, and she could not even maintain the most basic thoughts.

"It's time to deal with you."

The phantom of the Burning Heart Mirror appeared between Lin Yuan's brows, its crimson-gold light illuminating the entire quiet room in a magnificent splendor.

The invisible soul power transformed into countless threads, which, with the assistance of high-level soul treasures, surged into the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness like a tide.

The sea of ​​consciousness of the Queen Mother of Garan is vast and boundless, but at this moment it is covered with scars from being burned by the Fire Void Purgatory.

Lin Yuan's soul power threads penetrated deep into these wounds, like an ant colony devouring the opponent's remaining will.

"Hmm?" He frowned slightly.

Although the other party's consciousness was already blurred, the instinctive resistance remained, and the remaining will was like a wounded beast, frantically tearing at the intruder.

"Burning Heart, Suppress!"

Lin Yuan let out a low shout, and the Burning Heart Mirror shone brightly, suppressing the remaining will of the Empress Jialan, while the soul power threads took the opportunity to penetrate deeper.

"Found it."

Deep within the soul of the Queen Mother of Garan, a crystal core radiating purple light floats.

That was the other party's ordinary soul-type treasure, and also the last bastion protecting their sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Yuan's soul power surged into the crystal core like a tide.

The secret runes trembled violently, bursting forth with a dazzling purple light, clearly resisting the invasion of outsiders.

However, this resistance appeared pale and powerless in the face of absolute power. The Burning Heart Mirror continuously emitted suppressive power, which, together with Lin Yuan's powerful will that was close to that of the Lord of the Universe, disintegrated the crystal core's defenses layer by layer.

time flies.

The purple light on the surface of the crystal core gradually dimmed, and cracks began to appear in the secret patterns.

Lin Yuan's soul threads penetrated deeper along these cracks, beginning to imprint his own unique mark on the soul of the Queen of Garan.

This is an extremely meticulous process that cannot tolerate the slightest error.

Lin Yuan was completely focused, and the light of the Burning Heart Mirror flickered, matching each of his imprints.

The imprint gradually occupies the other person's entire sea of ​​consciousness, from blurry to clear, from as thin as a hair to as thick as a rope.

"It's done."

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuan let out a long sigh and withdrew his soul power.

Empress Jialan opened her tightly closed eyes. The struggle and resentment in her purple eyes were gone, replaced by endless respect and obedience.

"Master." She slowly knelt down.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Enslaving a Zerg Queen is far more valuable than killing her.

Firstly, as the core of the Zerg, the Queen often possesses a wealth of internal intelligence and may even know some of the Zerg's plans in the Primal Star and the Cosmic Ocean.

Secondly, Empress Garan is a soul master at the level of a cosmic overlord. Combined with that ordinary soul-type treasure, even some top overlords with huge divine bodies but average soul defenses would be afraid of her.

She was the strongest of the many alien warriors he had captured. He could entrust her with any troubles his subordinates might encounter, allowing him to focus on his cultivation.

Thirdly, Vicona broke through the limit of becoming a king hundreds of thousands of years ago, but her strength has not improved since then.

Although Lin Yuan knew this was the norm for cultivators in the Devouring Star World, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

It should be noted that during the thousands of years that Yan Jin spent on the Primordial Star, he had successfully broken through to the level of a Universe Venerable. Yan Lie and the Azure Dragon King had also made progress. Among the servants, only she remained steadfast. This Empress Jialan could be considered as the teacher he had found for the other party.

The reason why he didn't use the Divine Transformation Technique to convert people this time, but instead used Soul Enslavement, is very simple. Only by trying more of the unique features of this world can he comprehend the deeper mysteries of the rules, which will also benefit his understanding of the Path of the Beast God.

Don't forget, the Path of the Beast God also contains secret techniques for the soul.

"Get up," Lin Yuan said calmly. "From today onwards, you will stay by my side. I will summon you whenever I need you."

"Yes, Master," Queen Garan replied respectfully.

……

Secondly, there's Venerable Golden Vault's side.

Lin Yuan contacted Venerable Golden Sky through Venerable Blood Rock and sent Zhu Kun to the Starry Sky Beast Alliance.

The old Dragon Emperor has cultivated on Purple Thorn Island for nearly ten thousand years. He is currently only one step away from completely mastering the third level of the Path of the Beast God. Moreover, after breaking through to Immortality, his strength has been steadily at the peak of the King level. Even in the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, he is considered a pretty good genius.

Out of respect for Lin Yuan, Venerable Jinqiong personally arranged for Zhukun's introduction and promised to provide him with suitable resources for training.

Zi Yan is a lively and impulsive girl, so Lin Yuan didn't let her go with him for the time being, but instead continued to keep her by his side and teach her.

Then, Lin Yuan took some time to meet with Venerable Wanxing and Venerable Baihua.

The initial agreement for the Xuan Tian Crystal transaction was two Treasure Points, but Lin Yuan's gains far exceeded expectations, so he voluntarily increased the reward to five Treasure Points.

One reason was naturally to repay this favor, since he wouldn't have made this trip if the other party hadn't provided the token.

As for the second point...

Lin Yuan gained a great deal this time, and his confrontation with the Lord of Black Gold when he came out became known throughout the universe. Venerable Wanxing and Venerable Baihua must also know about it.

If he doesn't give them more compensation, they might not say anything, but they will inevitably feel resentful. Then, when chatting with their friends, they might "accidentally" let it slip, and the Chaos Venerable might get a stingy label.

Moreover, if this reputation were to spread further, the powerful figures in the human race would likely avoid seeking him out when they encountered opportunities they weren't confident they could obtain, ultimately wasting many chances.

These extra treasure points are like Lin Yuan spending a fortune to buy horse bones, maintaining a channel for himself to encounter opportunities.

Upon meeting Venerable Wanxing and his companion, they initially declined, but ultimately accepted the gifts at his insistence.

"Your Excellency Chaos is very generous. If you ever need our help in the future, please just ask." Venerable Hundred Flowers' tone was sincere.

……

Virtual universe, atop the central mountain range of Thunder Island.

Inside the palace of the Dragon Lord, Lin Yuan's projection had just solidified when the other party's voice came.

"Come in."

The palace doors opened, and Lin Yuan stepped inside.

"Little guy, not bad for your harvest this time, right?" the Dragon Lord asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan bowed respectfully: "Thanks to the timely arrival of Senior and Master Peng, this disciple was able to return safely."

"That's the treatment you deserve." The Dragon Lord waved his hand. "If even the geniuses of my human race can't receive protection, how can we still call ourselves a top-tier race?"

He paused, his gaze falling on Lin Yuan: "The news of your confrontation with Qingxuan and Xingyan on the seventh floor of the Xuantian Palace has already spread throughout the universe."

Adding to the previous battle in Thunderfire Canyon, the alien race's assessment of your strength will rise again.

"Firstly, this will make most universe lords of average strength hesitant to attack you."

Secondly, they will also put you on a list of targets that must be closely monitored, which will likely further reduce your hunting efficiency on the original planet.

Lin Yuan nodded: "This disciple understands."

"Good to understand." The Lord of Dragons changed the subject. "However, you probably don't need to rely on hunting ordinary overlords to accumulate wealth anymore. In my opinion, you should focus your energy on improving your strength first."

He smiled and said, "You've already obtained the key to open the door to the Path of the Beast God. Once you fully comprehend the seventh level of the Beast God inheritance, you can directly push open the door. This is much simpler than the Path of Space-Time Fusion."

The Lord of Dragons himself walks the path of the Beast God, so he naturally knows the importance of comprehending the Heart of the Beast God.

In his view, if Lin Yuan originally had a 30% chance of breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, then after comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, he would have a 70% chance, and the result would be seen in about a million epochs.

In his view, if Lin Yuan originally had a 30% chance of breaking through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe, then after comprehending the Heart of the Beast God, he would have a 70% chance, and the result would be seen in about a million epochs.

"This disciple will work hard."

Seeing this, the Lord of Dragons nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you understand."

"There's one more thing."

He looked at Lin Yuan, his eyes flashing with anticipation: "Your comprehension of the Beast God's Heart brings you one step closer to becoming a Universe Master. After discussion, the clan's higher-ups have decided to provide you with more resources."

Lin Yuan was taken aback: "What kind of resource support?"

"First, there are the Treasure Points," said the Dragon Lord. "Every 1000 epochs, the clan will allocate an additional 3 Treasure Points to you, which you can use to exchange for the resources you need for cultivation. From now on, you won't have to pay for renting Origin-type Treasures to convert into divine power yourself. This will continue for a total of 10,000 epochs."

"Secondly, there are protective measures." He paused. "The race will arrange for an avatar of the Lord of the Universe to be stationed near your divine kingdom year-round to prevent alien races from invading through spacetime coordinates. It is expected that Lord Peng Gong will still carry out this task, so if your main body is not in danger, it is best to stay in the Ancestral God Sect and not go out."

Lin Yuan felt a warm current surge in his heart after hearing this.

An extra 3 Treasure Points per 1000 Eras is a huge sum for top overlords. Maintaining power for 10,000 Eras would amount to 30 Treasure Points, which would make the unlucky old man, the Dry Witch Venerable, extremely envious. He was already ashamed in front of his old friend because he only owed a few Treasure Points in debt.

Having Peng Gong's avatar permanently stationed near the God Kingdom completely relieved his worries. This treatment was not much different from that of the Primordial Ancestor's small universe. In the Primordial Universe, only the Chaos City Lord and the Dragon Lord usually guarded it.

As for why the higher-ups of the race knew the coordinates of his divine kingdom, Lin Yuan could only say that within the human territory, one shouldn't expect secrets not concealed by the chat group to escape the virtual universe. Besides, he hadn't deliberately hidden them.

"Thank you for your kindness, clan." Lin Yuan bowed solemnly. "This disciple will certainly live up to your expectations and break through to the level of Universe Lord as soon as possible."

"Work hard."

The Lord of Dragons laughed, "I haven't seen a young person with such potential as you for many years. I hope you will become another pillar of our human race in the future."

"I have done my best."
