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

Finally, Lin Yuan contacted Lin Meng, the patriarch.

The ancestor who once lent him more than two thousand Chaos Units and helped him enter the initial universe to comprehend the universe is now a powerful figure at the King level, thanks to the vast supply of resources.

Under Lin Yuan's protection, and after millions of years of accumulation, the Lin family has produced over a hundred immortal gods.

Although the number is small, it is a dramatic change compared to the two people there back then.

"Lord Tianyun, what are your orders?" The image of Ancestor Lin Meng appeared, his face full of restraint.

Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. Ever since he broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, everyone in his family had become unconsciously reserved in his presence, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. In the end, he had no choice but to spend most of his time in the Ancestral God Sect or Chaos City, returning home very rarely.

"Never mind, this is normal in the universe."

He shook his head, then smiled and said, "I am about to become the ruler of a cosmic kingdom, and I plan to move my entire family there, leaving only a few nobles and immortals in our ancestral land."

"A complete relocation?" Patriarch Lin Meng was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Good! I never thought that my Lin family would one day become the royal family of a cosmic kingdom. I'll have the younger generation take care of it right away."

"However..." he paused, "After a long period of development, the Lin family has taken root in all sectors of the Glorious Universe Kingdom, and it will take time to sort out all the relationships."

"No rush," Lin Yuan shook his head. "As long as the relocation is completed within three thousand years, that's fine."

"Then there's no problem." Ancestor Lin Meng nodded. "I'll go back and make the arrangements immediately."

……

Time passed, and tens of thousands of years went by in the blink of an eye.

The establishment of the Heavenly Fortune Universe Kingdom did not cause much of a stir within the human race. After all, it was just one of the routine measures taken by the race to consolidate its borders. There were dozens of similar universe kingdoms on the edge of human territory.

However, for Lin Yuan, the significance of the Heavenly Fortune Universe Kingdom goes far beyond that.

It is not only his foundation, but also an important part of his future plans.

The capital city, the Heavenly Fortune Palace.

Lin Yuan directly spent dozens of treasure points to exchange for an ordinary palace-type treasure as the capital. Although it was not as precious as the Flame Sky Palace, it was still an extremely extraordinary existence as the royal court of a universe kingdom.

At this moment, he sat high on the throne, with his core team, who controlled the entire universe, below him.

Zieg stood at the very front and reported on the latest developments.

"Your Majesty, the administrative management system for the more than 37,000 star fields under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Kingdom has been initially completed."

"The governors of each star region are all appointed as King-level immortals, with Marquis-level immortals as their deputies, while the lower-level officials are appointed as Realm Lords and Domain Lords."

"Currently, the total population of the Cosmic Nation is about 80 quadrillion, mainly concentrated in the 37 star regions of the core area. The population of the peripheral star regions is sparse and still needs to be developed."

"Well done," Lin Yuan nodded in approval. "However, the immigration work must continue, especially in the outer star regions, where the population must be replenished as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Zieg replied.

"Furthermore," Lin Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, "I plan to establish a complete training system within the universe, starting from the planetary level and continuing until the immortal gods."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts stirred.

Establishing cultivation holy lands is a necessary step for every cosmic nation; otherwise, geniuses will be divided up by various families and other forces, and the strong individuals who emerge will only know their families and not their nation, making it difficult for the nation's strength to continue to improve.

However, establishing a holy land is not so simple. The teachers responsible for instructing geniuses can be immortal gods from various families, but what about the necessary resources? Their cultivation cannot be limited to comprehending the laws!

Lin Yuan noticed the doubts on everyone's faces and said calmly, "You don't need to worry, I have my own arrangements."

The Earth will take a long time to form, but that doesn't mean he can't plan ahead.

While geniuses born from other star systems may not be as monstrous as those born on Earth, given a wide enough scope and a large enough pool of talent, it is not impossible for some exceptionally gifted individuals to emerge from among them.

What Lin Yuan has in abundance is resources.

With the gains from the Xuan Tian Palace and the Tian Huo Divine Palace, plus the accumulation of millions of epochs, he now has more than two thousand Treasure Points.

Even a small fraction of this wealth would have been enough to support him in establishing the holy site.

"Yan Jin, take your men and get the framework set up first," Lin Yuan instructed. "All necessary resources will be drawn from me."

"Yes!" Yan Jin replied respectfully.

……

After they went off to do their respective tasks, Lin Yuan's gaze turned in a certain direction.

That is where the Earth is located.

Although that planet has not yet been born, Lin Yuan knows that it will eventually appear at some point.

"The Mountain-Sitting Guest..." Lin Yuan murmured to himself, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

As a time traveler, he knew all too well what that name represented.

The strongest being in the universe, a reincarnated god-king, a master of weapon crafting, and a super being renowned throughout the cosmic sea.

Earth is his creation.

Humans born on Earth are naturally endowed with extremely high spiritual talent and willpower, giving them a unique advantage in cultivation.

This is also an important reason why Luo Feng was able to grow from an ordinary teenager into a master of the universe in a very short time, and even eventually become the Lord of Hunyuan.

"However, the situation is somewhat different now."

In the original novel of Swallowed Star, Earth was transformed by the other side to cultivate a successor, and the last successor to appear was Luo Feng.

But now... will Luo Feng still be born?

Even if I am born, will Earth still be the Earth from the original story?

Lin Yuan neither knew nor cared.

All he knew was that the star system was now his territory.

Regardless of when or how Earth appears, it will belong to the Celestial Universe Kingdom.

But just then, he suddenly felt a chilling aura coming from afar.

"The strongest in the universe!" Lin Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

Without a second thought, he took out the Flame Sky Palace, and at the same time, the Thousand Threads Soul Refining Prison was fully activated, with countless silver threads weaving around his body into an impenetrable defensive net.

The Xuan Tian Ba ​​Long Armor automatically activated, and a dragon-shaped phantom roamed wildly across its surface.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan was fully armed, but the newcomer did not attack, but simply hovered quietly above the Heavenly Fortune Palace and waited.

His mind raced, and he quickly guessed the identity of the visitor.

There were very few beings in the original universe whose strength reached the level of the strongest beings in the universe, and at this time period, there was probably only one who would be interested in him.

"The Mountain-Sitting Guest!" Lin Yuan thought with a chill.

He took a deep breath, put away the Flame Sky Palace, and arrived above the capital star.

In the void, a figure floats silently. The latest update is now live, awaiting your interpretation.

It seems to be integrated with the entire universe, right in front of you, yet it feels so far away.

The Mountain Dweller!

One of the most mysterious and strongest beings in the primordial universe, a legendary master of weapon crafting.

"Little human, you're quite wary," the other said with a smile, his voice calm. "However, if I were to make a move against you, even the most precious treasures wouldn't be enough to stop me."

Lin Yuan bowed respectfully: "Junior Tianyun of the Human Race greets Senior Zuoshanke."

The man sitting on the mountain looked him up and down, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Not bad, indeed not bad."

"I have been observing you for a long time. From the time you were crowned king and you slew the Venerable, to the Ancestral God Sect and you killed six top overlords in a row, and then you snatched the treasure from the Lord of the Universe in the Xuantian Palace... Your growth trajectory is indeed amazing."

Lin Yuan's heart stirred slightly, but he remained expressionless: "Senior, you flatter me."

"Overpraise?" The other party shook his head. "I never praise people easily. You have earned my approval through your own abilities."

He paused, then suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know why I've come to find you?"

"What are your instructions, senior?"

"I have my eye on a star field within the territory of the Heavenly Fortune Universe Kingdom," he said directly. "I want to terraform a planet there and cultivate a successor. I hope you will not stop me."

Lin Yuan remained silent for a moment, knowing that the Mountain Dweller wanted to transform the Earth.

The other party was probably only willing to meet because of his strength, fearing that he would discover what the other party was doing in the star system near Earth after he broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

If one's own strength is weak, then the Qianwu in the original work is an example. Before Hong Chuang's exposure in the Illusionary Sea, no one in the entire human race knew about the special nature of Earth.

The reason why the other party would rather reveal part of the plan than take action in a different area is quite simple.

A planet that meets all the conditions for transformation is not easy to find. Otherwise, with such a vast territory, why was there only one Yan God Clan before?

Having figured everything out, Lin Yuan said in a deep voice, "This junior will naturally not stop you."

"However, that planet is located within the territory of my human race, and the beings born on it should rightfully be the subjects of my Heavenly Fortune Universe Kingdom."

"That's natural," the Mountain-Sitting Guest said calmly. "I only wish to cultivate one successor. As for the other beings on that planet, you can do whatever you want with them."

"That's good." Lin Yuan nodded. "Please go ahead, senior."

"Um."

After receiving a satisfactory reply, the other party was about to leave when, as if remembering something, they turned back to him and said, "Let's discuss another deal."

"Please speak, senior."

The Mountain-Sitting Guest said in a deep voice, "I observe that you are cultivating the Path of the Beast God, and you have already progressed far in the seventh level, only one step away from becoming the Lord of the Universe."

"I can guide you on how to take this step; in exchange, you must look after my disciples in the future."

Lin Yuan was startled.

The guidance from the Mountain Hermit is an opportunity that countless cosmic venerables dream of.

He solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "If you can truly help me take that step, I will do my utmost to assist your disciple when he encounters danger in the future."

Lin Yuan's meaning was clear: I will only help you take care of your disciples after I break through. If your guidance is useless, then I'm sorry.

"Little rascal!" The mountain dweller shook his head and chuckled, but didn't care about his little scheme.

Or rather, Lin Yuan's presence of this thought made him feel more at ease, as it indicated that the other party was cautious enough and had a greater chance of surviving until the day his disciple was born.

"Then I will begin to instruct you now."

He raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force field enveloped the two of them.

Within this force field, everything outside was isolated, leaving only Lin Yuan and the Mountain-Sitting Guest.

"The core of the seventh layer of Beast God inheritance lies in unification."

He spoke slowly, "It refers to completely merging the two laws into one, making them inseparable."

You've already grasped most of it; you're just one step away from completing it.

This step requires a sudden realization, a catalyst.

I can't give you that epiphany, but I can offer you some inspiration.

He raised his hand, and a ball of crimson-gold flame appeared in his palm.

"Look at this flame," said the Mountain Dweller. "It is both flame and space."

"Every tiny fluctuation of the flame can cause ripples in space; and every fold in space can give rise to the flame."

"This is the return to oneness."

Lin Yuan stared at the ball of flame, a sudden realization dawning on him.

He seemed to see the essence of fire and space, and the profound connection between them.

"Flame...space..." he murmured to himself, a crimson-gold light flashing in his eyes.

Looking at him, the mountain dweller's lips curled into a smile.

"Figure it out for yourself. I'm leaving now."

"Remember, I'm entrusting the affairs of Earth to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure slowly disappeared.

Lin Yuan stood there silently for a long time, the flame still burning in his mind.

The interplay of flames and space evolved continuously in his consciousness, as if to reveal some ultimate mystery.

"Return to One..."

He repeated the word in a low voice, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

finally--

boom!

A terrifying aura erupted from his body!

A crimson-gold light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire sky above the Heavenly Fortune Palace in gold.

Flame and space merged perfectly within him, transforming into a completely new power.

The power of the Beast God, seventh level, complete!

After accumulating millions of epochs of experience, Lin Yuan finally took that crucial step after a sudden enlightenment.

"The Lord of the Universe... is not far off!"
