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

"So, after replenishing the divine power of my clone, I can try to create another clone."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but think, "Even if the primordial universe's will discover this and uses some means to restrict me, each additional clone means an extra life, so taking the risk is completely worthwhile!"

He wasn't afraid that his actions would attract repercussions. After all, he was just a minor immortal god. Even if he created hundreds or thousands of clones, they were nothing more than ants in the vast primordial universe. If there was a bug, he could just fix it. There was no need for him to target his own creation.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately logged into the virtual universe and searched through the company's internal database for a way to quickly restore his divine body.

Currently, his divine power reserves are only slightly more than those of immortal gods of the same level. If he were to absorb energy from the ocean of laws at the origin of the universe, it would take about two to three million years to fully recover, a speed he is naturally not satisfied with.

Soon, the database's search engine offered Lin Yuan two methods, but he couldn't do either of them!

First, there's the issue of renting Origin-type treasures. Let alone the fact that he, having just broken through to Immortality, couldn't afford to rent them, even if he could afford the price, countless King-level experts and even Universe Venerables who burned their divine bodies during their adventures all needed to use them. He didn't know how long it would be before it was his turn!

The second option is to buy precious treasures to quickly restore one's divine body. Success or failure can both come from the superior laws!

Lin Yuan initially built his divine power based on the fundamental laws of space, which made him much stronger than other immortals as soon as he broke through. However, the price of a stronger divine body is that it costs more to restore divine power. Without one or two hundred thousand Chaos Units, it is impossible to fill the clone in a short time.

"Headache!" He frowned. "Going through the eleventh and twelfth floors of the Heavenly Bridge might raise the money, but I feel like I'll regret spending it on this later."

"Think again, think again... I've got it!"

……

Over the next thousand years, strange things happened in many star systems in the Priest Starfield. The security defense devices would always capture a black shadow flash by inexplicably, and then most of the meteorite belt would disappear.

If the Empire hadn't promptly issued a statement saying that Prince Lin Yuan was collecting materials to forge a weapon, this matter would probably have been selected for the Million-Year Unsolved Mystery program on the Ruijinling Empire's Virtual Universe Channel!

Meanwhile, underground on the planet Lunna, watching his clone frantically gnawing on the special alloy, Lin Yuan felt a toothache.

"The Six Treasures Immortal Thief is quite effective. My clone body has recovered about half of its original size. It seems I should be able to try it once before I join the company."

The sage steals—he steals from heaven and earth!

If this were placed in the world of Under One Person, Lin Yuanchun would think Ruan Feng was bragging. After all, if someone could starve himself to the point of being unable to resist eating people, it would mean that this strange skill was difficult to extract the essence from earth, stone, metal and iron. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to just eat dirt directly?

But this is the World of Devouring Stars. Since even creatures like the Golden Horned Beast that feed on planets exist, Lin Yuan can naturally improve the Six Treasures Immortal Thief by adding a function to melt gold and stone.

Restoring a divine body requires divine power, but divine power is a high-quality energy that is based on the fundamental laws and transformed from various energies through a special construction method. Therefore, the more he eats, the faster he recovers.

For over a thousand years, Lin Yuan's main body has been cultivating peacefully, while he has released his clones to devour the heavens and the earth. In the last two hundred years, he has even arranged for the Golden Horned Beast to grow into a healthy body for him. However, because the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief currently lacks the ability to digest high-grade metals, it can only be used as a supplementary food.

……

Time flies, and more than a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. There are still about five hundred years left before Lin Yuan officially goes to the branch warehouse to report for his post.

Still underground on the planet Lunna, the two sat quietly facing each other. Their auras were indistinguishable, and no one familiar with Lin Yuan could tell them apart, because both could be considered his true forms, depending on where his main consciousness chose to reside.

When he returned to the One Piece world via teleportation, there was no one else in the room except for Whitebeard. He knelt down on the ground and prostrated himself before Lin Yuan.

Although Lin Yuan didn't say anything after returning, and still allowed him to exchange Devil Fruits for cultivation resources in the group chat, he could no longer participate in their conversations. In addition, the other three had long since stopped liking him, and Whitebeard clearly sensed that he was being marginalized...

If four level-two administrators can vote to remove a level-one administrator, then guess what will happen if Lin Yuan and Zhang Zhiwei reach a consensus? The mighty Whitebeard could very well be kicked out of the chat group!

If he had never seen the world, Whitebeard could have faced death without a second thought. But now that he has the chance to become stronger and even protect his sons for longer, he would never be willing to lose everything because of a single suspicion!

"Lord Lin Yuan, I was wrong to suspect your intentions last time because of my dark thoughts. I am willing to accept any punishment, I only ask that you forgive me."

"How can I put it?" Lin Yuan shook his head. "Old Zhang experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan. He can make a deal with you calmly, yet you inexplicably suspect me. Did I steal from others in the group before? Did that make you wary?"

If Whitebeard had been unwilling when applying for the crossover, he could have said so clearly, and Lin Yuan would have understood. Since Ye Fan and Meng Qi's places weren't suitable, he would have gone to the Under One Person world himself.

And the result? The other party chose the worst possible solution!

He remained silent for a long time before agreeing. Wasn't this just telling the other group members that Lin Yuan was domineering and that he dared not resist because of his tyranny? Who was he putting on this act for?

The white-bearded man, a master of the art of craftsmanship, spoke without raising his head: "It was my fault. The exchange between you and the group members was fair, and you even favored us in terms of the exchange rate. It was all due to my overthinking. Please punish me, sir!"

Cola Novels: This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true.

Lin Yuan gave him a disgusted look. "I thought Whitebeard was alright when I watched the anime, but now I realize I was blind. He's still trying to be clever at a time like this!"

"We all joined the group at the same time. If I punish you, what will the others think? Will they think I'm the mastermind controlling the chat group?"

Regardless of whether the other person had such intentions, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, leaving behind the words "Don't do it again" before disappearing from the spot.

In the world of Swallowed Star, as soon as his clone returned, the familiar pressure descended once again, and Lin Yuan felt his consciousness being pulled into the mysterious space again.

The primordial cosmic will checked him from the inside out, but still couldn't find anything. It had no choice but to use another innate secret technique to patch the problem, and then kicked him out. Lin Yuan didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt that this time the force seemed to be a bit stronger than last time.

"This... feels great!"

After carefully reviewing the information in his mind, he was extremely excited.

As is well known, when two immortal gods have similar understanding of the higher laws, the one with the larger divine body can contain more divine power and is stronger in battle.

So in this experiment, the divine power clone returned directly after consuming the Azure Dragon Fruit, transforming into a dragon. Lin Yuan wanted to see if he could create a super-large divine body. After all, there are quite a few giant divine bodies hundreds of thousands of kilometers long in the Devouring Star World, so why can't a dragon that is ten thousand meters long be created? Beast form is also a real physical body, okay!

Unexpectedly, the primordial cosmic will gave him a big surprise. Perhaps knowing that Lin Yuan would bother him again if the loopholes were not plugged, and since it could not find any problems, it directly lifted the size restriction on the Azure Dragon's body.

In other words, Lin Yuan will have a Azure Dragon Body that can grow and store energy infinitely, just like Luo Feng's Nether Sea Avatar, ensuring he will never lack divine power again for countless years to come! Burning his divine body can be used as a regular skill!

"While I can't have countless clones, having a giant power bank is pretty good. Bug exploit successful!"

……

Time never stops for anyone. In the blink of an eye, more than four hundred years have passed. After bidding farewell to his family and the two ancestors, Lin Yuan set off in the Chiling and flew to the address given to him by the logistics department of the Virtual Universe Company.

His earlier prediction was wrong. The Flame Star Grass hadn't finished digesting those advanced materials yet, and the absorption rate of the small fire slowed down as it went on, as if it was about to reach saturation. It looked like it would take a long time to completely absorb them.

But Lin Yuan couldn't wait any longer. Moreover, he was unlikely to encounter any danger that could cause an immortal to perish in the heart of the human race. With two clones in hand, his safety was guaranteed. So he had no choice but to leave Little Fire on Lunna Star and send one clone to report on his own.

The Three Thousand Years Holiday is about to end in just over a decade. The distance between the branch office and the Glorious Universe Kingdom is not far, but it will still take two or three years to get there. The remaining time is just enough to build good relationships with future colleagues.

That day, Lin Yuan was cultivating in the quiet room when the voice of the Life-Assisting Phoenix Gold made him open his eyes.

"Master, the spaceship is about to arrive at its destination. Please prepare accordingly."

"Have we arrived? Huang Jin, activate the panoramic simulation."

"receive!"

As he gave the command, the surrounding walls gradually became transparent, revealing a starry sky background.

The Chiling quickly traveled back to the original universe. Before Lin Yuan was a huge artificial star, with countless spaceships constantly coming and going, a scene of great prosperity.

"Ding! Master, you have received an email from the Logistics Department of Virtual Universe Company. They say that the Chiling is not a registered transport ship of the company and does not have the authority to enter Krunny. You need to show your pass."

Lin Yuan transmitted a wisp of divine power into the verification program sent by the other party. In the vast universe, there have never been two immortal gods whose divine power properties are completely identical. This is the "identity card" of an immortal powerhouse.

The verification was completed quickly, and the other party sent another email, this time a spaceship towing signal. Following the guidance, the Chiling passed through Channel Six and finally stopped on a parking tarmac where there were only a few spaceships.

Whoosh!

The hatch opened, and Lin Yuan flew out. A Realm Lord-level staff member was already waiting outside.

The other party continued with a smile, explaining, "However, the registration is now complete. You can freely enter and leave Krunny Star until you are transferred to another department, but you cannot bring anyone else with you."

"Understood!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

The warehouse is of great importance, so we can't just bring anyone in. Otherwise, who will be responsible if the goods are lost?

The staff member continued, "This is a landing pad exclusively for the immortal gods of the branch. You can leave your spaceship here, and we have a dedicated ground crew to maintain and service it."

"No, the Chiling was recently serviced." Lin Yuan shook his head and put away the spaceship. "Take me to the branch manager's office instead. I need to familiarize myself with the environment after I finish the formalities."

Ground crew members are incredibly well-paid. If you hand over your spaceship to strangers, they might replace your high-end parts with junk parts without you even knowing. Although you're confident they can't hide it from an immortal powerhouse like yourself, it's best not to test human nature.

Even if you manage to catch the greedy person, it will ruin your own good mood, so why bother?

"Yes, sir."

Lin Yuan did not heed his advice, but the staff's attitude did not change at all. He had seen the adults' concerns many times before, as evidenced by the sparse number of spaceships on the No. 6 landing pad.

He maintained his smile and said, "Sir, please follow me."
