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

After leaving the Dragon Lord's Palace, Lin Yuan went to the residence of Venerable Flame Moon, and the two chatted about their experiences on the Primal Star.

Next, he contacted Lawrence and agreed that if the original star was still open when the other's divine body completed its transformation and achieved the strength of an overlord, they would go together to try their luck again.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Lin Yuan's mind stirred, and his consciousness returned to the quiet room in his mansion in Chaos City, where he began to organize his next cultivation plan.

"Your understanding of the Beast God's Heart is already quite profound; now it needs time to refine and polish it. It can't be rushed."

"Regarding the laws, I have already comprehended the fifth level of the Fire-Void Fusion Law, but I still need to continue comprehending the sixth level."

"The ultimate secret technique, Flame Flash, has begun to take shape with its sixth form, Myriad Transformations. It now needs further refinement through practical combat."

"As for the treasures, we've already acquired them all, and there's no need to exchange for more in the short term."

Lin Yuan sorted through them one by one, prioritizing all the goals.

"Right now, the most important thing is still comprehending the laws," he decided. "From now on, I will focus my main efforts on the Beast God's inheritance and strive to fully comprehend the sixth level as soon as possible."

"If I can comprehend the sixth level, my strength will rise to another level. At that time, I will dare to fight even a third-tier universe master."

......

Ancestral Mystic Realm, Purple Thorn Island.

Lin Yuan's true form walked out of the mansion and went straight to the square in front of the island lord's palace.

The three water curtains in the center of the square remained unchanged, and many inheritors of the Beast Gods came and went. When they saw Lin Yuan, their eyes were filled with awe.

The story of Chaos Venerable's slaying of six top overlords in the battle of Thunderfire Canyon and his forcing back two universe lords in the battle of Xuantian Palace has already spread throughout the entire Ancestral God Sect. Now he is one of the most sought-after successors on Purple Thorn Island.

Lin Yuan ignored these stares and stepped straight into the water curtain on the far left.

A place of heritage.

It was still that void space shrouded in black mist. As soon as Lin Yuan appeared, several figures came to greet him.

The one leading them was Venerable Jiufeng.

"Chaos, you've arrived!" Venerable Jiufeng laughed. "I heard you obtained a great opportunity in the Xuan Tian Palace. Congratulations!"

The Lava Venerable stepped forward, his compound eyes gleaming with admiration: "To be able to snatch a top-tier treasure armor from a true cosmic master, Chaos Venerable, you have truly brought honor to our entire human race."

Herodo exclaimed, "I heard you even comprehended the Heart of the Beast God during battle; such talent is truly astonishing."

Lin Yuan humbly replied, "You flatter me, gentlemen. It was merely a stroke of luck."

"Luck?" Venerable Jiufeng shook his head. "There aren't that many lucky breaks in the universe."

He paused, then looked at Lin Yuan: "Chaos, you've come here to receive the sixth level of inheritance, haven't you?"

"Exactly." Lin Yuan nodded. "Senior Long Xing recently demonstrated the mysteries of the sixth level of the Beast God's inheritance to me. I lack understanding of some aspects, so I've come here to solidify my understanding."

"The great Lord of Dragons?"

The Lava Venerable exclaimed in surprise, and the attention of the other two was also drawn to this title.

Herodo's face showed reverence: "I have heard that the Lord of Dragons is the one in our human camp who has achieved the highest level of mastery in the path of the Beast God, and whose strength is even greater than many of the Guardian Beast Gods."

"Not only that!" Venerable Jiufeng corrected him, "The guardian beast gods usually only have the strength of a second or third-order universe lord, and the treasures they possess are not as good as those of a formal beast god. I think only the eight great beast gods can compare with Lord Dragon Walker."

"That's true..."

Both the Lava Master and Herodo nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Jiu Feng finally noticed Lin Yuan, who had been left behind, and said awkwardly, "Then Chaos Venerable, you should go quickly. We won't bother you any longer. After the inheritance is over, you can go to the Glory World. There are many worthy opponents there."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Definitely."

Without further delay, he flew into the black mist.

……

The Land of Inheritance, the Sixth Level.

Black mist churned, and Lin Yuan stood suspended within it.

That vast and strange power descended once more, completely taking control of his body.

The fingers of his right hand extended automatically, and divine power emanated from his fingertips, condensing into secret runes of law.

One after another, secret patterns emerged, and the Fire-Void Fusion Law progressed from the fifth level to the sixth level.

The fusion of fire and space is more profound; there is no longer a distinction between primary and secondary elements, but rather they are truly integrated into one.

Flame is space, and space is flame.

With the support of his enlightenment ability, Lin Yuan's consciousness operated at high speed, imprinting all the profound laws and mysteries personally demonstrated by the primordial will of the universe into his mind.

Time slips away quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the strange power slowly faded away.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a crimson-gold light flashing within them.

The sixth layer of inheritance has been consolidated and completed.

……

After leaving the place of inheritance, Lin Yuan walked slowly along the mountain path of Zijing Island.

The surrounding scenery is picturesque, and the colorful aurora lake in the distance shimmers with a dreamlike glow under the sunlight.

He was already planning his next move.

The sixth level of the Beast God's inheritance cannot be comprehended in a short time, and he has already used up his free inheritance opportunity, so he can only exchange it with Glory Points next.

"But there's still a problem!" He looked troubled. "There aren't many inheritors who have cultivated the Path of the Beast God to the sixth level, and they must have heard of my strength. Naturally, they won't treat me like an easy target like they did with Luo Feng in the original story."

Even... the vast majority of inheritors won't accept my challenge invitation, so wouldn't I only be able to earn glory points by completing tasks issued by the Ancestral God Sect?

The Ancestral God Cult issues missions from time to time, which is another way for inheritors to obtain Glory Points in the Glory World, in addition to challenges and accumulation over time.

It could be helping a certain beast god find the precious materials they need, or it could be taking action to eliminate some powerful figures from various races who disrespect the Ancestral God Cult.

However, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by. Lin Yuan had only seen the sect's higher-ups issue two missions during his ten thousand years on Zijing Island, and he was quickly accepted. How could he, who needed to frequently go into seclusion to comprehend the teachings, compete with other inheritors?

"Forget it." Lin Yuan shook his head. "Let's go check out the secret realm. Maybe we can encounter other opportunities there."

The Secret Realm is the most dangerous area of ​​the Ancestral God Sect. Even a Cosmic Venerable could perish if he entered it, but it is also the place with the most opportunities.

Treasures born from the primordial universe, relics of those who perished within, and even precious items deliberately left behind by predecessors can all appear within. Many inheritors have gained opportunities within it.

Lin Yuan not only has a clone to ensure the Beast God's Inheritance Token is not lost, but also the top-tier treasure, the Flame Sky Palace, to protect him. No matter how great the danger, he can escape unscathed. It feels like the opportunities inside were prepared just for him.

After thinking it through, he immediately changed direction.

"Lord Chaos, please wait a moment."

A voice came from behind him, and Lin Yuan turned around to see a figure walking quickly towards him.

That was a cosmic overlord from the Hongmeng Alliance, still bearing the marks of battle. Since Zijing Island forbids its inheritors from fighting, he had clearly just returned from a secret realm.

"What is it?"

The overlord said in a deep voice, "Judging from the direction the Chaos Venerable is heading, it leads to a secret realm. So, I dare to ask, do you wish to venture there?"

"That's right!" Lin Yuan nodded.

"That's good."

The other party smiled and said, "To be honest, I discovered a ruin in the secret realm, but it is fraught with danger, and I cannot go deep inside."

After much thought, I've concluded that among the powerful figures in the human faction of the Ancestral God Sect, only the Chaos Venerable possesses the strength to explore this area. Therefore, I intend to exchange his information for some benefits.

"Relics?" Lin Yuan became interested. Wasn't the money he had spent on buying the bones of Venerable Wanxing and Venerable Baihua showing its effect?

"lead the way."

......

The Secret Realm is actually different from the other two functional spaces of the Ancestral God Sect.

The Treasure Land and the Heritage Land are both micro-attractions located within the Five Colors Aurora Lake, while the Secret Realm is actually just a teleportation channel that allows one to enter the depths of the Ancestral Mystery for exploration.

Its maximum diameter exceeds 1.6 million light-years, and its interior is filled with various dangers.

Spatial storms, temporal turbulence, ancient restrictions, ferocious beast lairs... could take the lives of intruders at any moment.

Following the guidance of the Hongmeng overlord, Lin Yuan traversed the secret realm at a rapid pace.

The surrounding space was sometimes distorted and sometimes broken, with turbulent energy flows surging out from the void and sweeping in all directions.

His expression was calm, and he easily avoided all dangers as his golden wings flapped.

About half a day later, the cosmic overlord of the Hong Alliance stopped in his tracks: "Chaos Venerable, this is the place."

Lin Yuan looked up and saw an area shrouded in gray mist in front of him.

A dilapidated palace can be vaguely seen in the mist. The palace surface is covered with the marks of time, but its former grandeur is still evident.

"This is..." Lin Yuan squinted his eyes.

He could sense a chilling pressure emanating from within the palace, the aura of at least a being at the level of a universe lord.

"Thank you for showing me the way." Lin Yuan turned around and said, "You go back the way you came first. I'll go in and take a look myself. If I find anything, I certainly won't treat you unfairly."

The other person nodded and turned to leave.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, and with a flap of his golden wings, he flew into the gray mist.

……

Within the gray fog, spatial perception was severely hampered, and even divine sense probing was greatly suppressed.

Lin Yuan proceeded cautiously, the Thousand Threads Soul Refining Prison unfolding around him, silver threads weaving into an impenetrable defensive net.

Suddenly, a terrifying shockwave surged from the depths of the mist!

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly, and the Burning Heart Mirror shone brightly, a layer of crimson-gold soul shield firmly protecting him.

boom!

"What a powerful soul attack!" Lin Yuan thought with a chill.

This is only the outer perimeter of the ruins, but the level of attack is already comparable to the full-force strike of a top overlord. If one were to venture deeper inside, one would likely encounter even greater dangers.

But he did not back down and continued forward.

The fog gradually thinned, and the palace in front became clearer and clearer.

This is a towering building that stretches for tens of thousands of miles, cast entirely from some kind of dark golden metal, with countless intricate patterns carved on its surface.

Above the main gate of the palace are four ancient characters: Heavenly Fire Temple.

"The Heavenly Fire Temple?" Lin Yuan's heart stirred.

He had seen this name in the clan's records; it was the residence of a powerful inheritor of the Fire Sky Beast God from ancient times.

That was a true ruler of the universe. Although he ultimately perished while adventuring in the cosmic sea, the temple where he once resided has never been found. Many inheritors speculate that it is one of the most valuable relics in the ancestral mystic realm.

"I didn't expect to find this place." A glint of light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

He did not rush into the temple, but carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Although the restrictions on the outside of the temple were strong, they had developed many loopholes after countless years of erosion.

With his current strength, he could easily slip through these loopholes and enter the temple directly.

With a thought, Lin Yuan transformed into a streak of light and slipped into a crack in the restriction.

......

Inside the temple, the space appears more expansive than it does from the outside.

Lin Yuan stood on a corridor that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, flanked by towering pillars hundreds of miles high, their surfaces carved with secret patterns of flame and space.

At the end of the corridor, a magnificent hall can be vaguely seen.

Lin Yuan proceeded cautiously, stepping carefully in the gaps between the secret runes to avoid triggering the restrictions.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are inlaid with many treasures, including important treasures and rare treasures.

However, they are all firmly protected by restrictions, and forcibly removing them will definitely trigger the restrictions and attract attacks.

Lin Yuan shook his head and did not make a move.

Now that he is wealthy, he doesn't even look at these ordinary treasures.

And what if each lucky person who comes in can only take one treasure? So let's wait until we come across something even better to sell later.

As we continued forward, the main hall drew ever closer.

As Lin Yuan stepped into the main hall, an ancient and desolate aura wafted over him.

In the center of the main hall, a statue thousands of miles tall floats in the air.

It was a being that resembled neither a dragon nor a human, its entire body covered in crimson-gold scales, with three pairs of fiery wings on its back.

His eyes were closed, and his body was surrounded by a chilling fluctuation of laws.

"Is this the statue of the Beast God?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

In the primordial universe, there were some powerful beings who broke through to become universe masters through the path of the Beast God but were unwilling to inherit the position of Beast God. They were also appointed as guardian Beast Gods by the Ancestral God Sect. The master of the Heavenly Fire Temple was such a powerful being.
