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

[Lin Yuan: Everyone, guess who's in this photo?]

[Meng Qi: Wow, the way these people are dressed is so different from the style of the Swallowed Star world! Did you somehow manage to get transported back from the Dou Qi Continent?]

[Zhang Zhiwei: Junior Brother Meng, observe carefully. Judging from their clothing style, they likely come from several different factions.]

[Zhang Zhiwei: The old Taoist priest believes that the refined middle-aged man on the right and the father and daughter arguing next to him are from the Dou Qi Continent, but he can't be sure about the others.]

[Gu Xun'er: That's the Soul Emperor!]

In the Dou Qi Continent, Xun'er felt like she was going crazy.

As the daughter of the ancient clan chief, although she had never seen the Soul Emperor in person, she had seen his portrait. How could she not recognize that refined man?

"What is Brother Lin Yuan trying to do?" she wondered, her mind filled with confusion. "Why take the Soul Emperor away? He's the culprit who has caused turmoil across the entire continent for thousands of years! And... if the Soul Emperor is gone, what about the Soul Clan?"

Xun'er's face was full of solemnity. The Soul Emperor was the soul of the Soul Clan, and only he, as a half-Emperor, could make the entire clan work together in one direction.

The worst thing now is that only he leaves. Then the others will not only lose the suppression above them, but it will also mean that the plan of the Soul Clan's experts to revive the bloodline of the Dou Di, which has been planned for thousands of years, has completely failed. It is really hard to estimate what they can do in despair!

Just as she was still feeling uneasy, a new message appeared in the chat group.

[Lin Yuan: Alright, let's reveal the answer.]

[Lin Yuan: Of the half-emperor level powerhouses who appeared in the original storyline, I brought them all along except for Gu Yuan, and I also helped Zhu Kun bring along Zi Yan, that little female dragon.]

Ye Fan: ?

[Ye Fan: The numbers don't add up. Even if you include the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, and even Xiao Xuan, there are only six people. But there are ten people in your picture. What's the deal with the three women? Brother Lin Yuan, have you finally figured it out?]

[Lin Yuan: What are you thinking? They're either young girls or lolis, what could I possibly be thinking?]

[Lin Yuan: After settling things on the Dou Qi Continent, I went to the neighboring Tianxuan Continent. After dealing with the Demon Queen, the Ice Lord insisted on coming with me. I saw that she had the potential to break through to immortality, so after collecting the eight Ancestral Symbols, I took her along.]

[Lin Yuan: Sigh~ I originally wanted to bring the Devouring Lord along, after all, although his talent wasn't as good as Ying Huanhuan's, it was on par with the Soul Emperor and others. But he died too thoroughly, leaving only a trace of him in the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. There's no way to revive him.]

He truly felt it was a pity that there were too few people with enough talent and ability to give their all for a breakthrough; he only managed to bring back two more people from the vast world.

Qing Yanjing ran away to escape a family marriage. She is a future Grandmaster of Saint-grade Spirit Arrays, no weaker than when he first broke through to Immortality. So even though she is only at the Supreme Realm now, Lin Yuan couldn't resist abducting the girl.

Mandala was also free of all attachments. After Lin Yuan took the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Palace and killed the Nine Corpse Demon Emperor, the remnant soul of the Heavenly Emperor asked him to take care of his "daughter". Kind-hearted, he had no choice but to comply with the last wish of an old father.

He had also considered tricking some famous experts from the vast world into leaving with him, but his divine power clone was only equivalent to the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme realm!

Although this strength is at the peak of the Great Thousand World, he can neither save the ancient Heavenly Emperor nor help other experts of the same level break through their limits.

[Meng Qi: Uh, where is Tianxuan Continent? I don't remember any new group members joining.]

He wasn't surprised by Meng Qi's reaction. In fact, the popularity of Battle Through the Heavens was unmatched by the author's later books. Although they also performed well, they were still far behind Battle Through the Heavens, which had broken through to the entire internet.

[Lin Yuan: Do you remember the scene where the five emperors broke through the void at the end? The other people Xiao Yan saw in the spatial passage during his ascension were from the Tianxuan Continent, and Lin Dong, who was leading them, is the protagonist of the book.]

[Meng Qi: I understand. It and the Dou Qi Continent are two adjacent illusory realms.]

[Lin Yuan: According to the understanding of the world of "A World of Supreme Beings," that's indeed the case. These two places are strongly connected to the Dou Qi Continent.]

[Lin Yuan: Well then, although I don't know if there will be any group members from the Tianxuan Continent and the Great Thousand World in the future, I will still release all the memory copies of them so that Xun'er can properly consider how to face Xiao Yan.]

"Ding! Group member Lin Yuan has uploaded a memory copy titled 'I Was Invincible for Twelve Years When God Was Feeding Me,' which is now available for everyone to view."

"Ding! Group member Lin Yuan has uploaded a memory copy titled 'The Descendant of the Ancient Floating Pagoda Clan was kicked out of the Spiritual Path at the start, but I relied on the Nine Nether Sparrow to defy fate.' Everyone can view it."

Before long, everyone had finished reading the memory copy, and Little Dot's remarks went straight to the heart of the matter.

[My favorite food is animal milk: I feel like the three stories are very similar. A fallen powerful figure leads them onto the path of cultivation. It seems that Liu Shen and I are similar.]

[Lin Yuan: Ahem, blind student, you've spotted the key point.]

The story of potatoes does seem to follow a template, otherwise many people would say that he is just living off his past achievements!

His protagonists are often humiliated or persecuted in the early stages for various reasons, but then they gain mysterious opportunities and begin to rise. There is always some content related to the academy, and of course, there are also classic moments of saving people at critical junctures...

[Gu Xun'er: Brother Lin Yuan, I want to ask how the Soul Clan is doing now. Are they still being restrained?]

Gu Xun'er was truly uneasy. We solemnly recommend this book to you: *Swallowing the Starry Sky: The Golden Finger Only Arrives When You're Almost a God?*, available here. She wouldn't be at ease without clarifying this issue, fearing the Soul Clan would assume the Ancient Clan was responsible for the clan leader's disappearance and then retaliate without regard for the cost.

[Lin Yuan: Before leaving, the Soul Emperor told the Soul Clan's higher-ups that he was going into seclusion and that they wouldn't be making any major moves for the next twenty years. You can use this period to grow rapidly. How you deal with the Soul Clan's conspiracy afterward is your business; we will no longer interfere.]

The biggest villain BOSS was taken away by him. The Soul Clan was the trial that Lin Yuan left for Gu Xun'er. If the opponent and the Gu Clan can lose in this way, it means that her potential is ultimately limited. There is no need to pay too much attention to her in the group in the future.

[Gu Xun'er: I understand, Brother Lin Yuan, I will try my best.]

……

After dealing with matters in the chat group, Lin Yuan turned his attention to his own cultivation level and the expansion of his subordinates' power.

Over a period of 100,000 years, he spent a vast amount of resources cultivating all the strange flames to the peak of the Realm Lord level. Although they were protected by a protective membrane, they were still suppressed by the rules of the original universe and became special life forms like the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and the Spirit of Magma, which could no longer be refined into his body.

Fortunately, they only need to devour different flames to enhance their origin, so Lin Yuan doesn't need to spend a lot of mixed units to buy immortal-level advancement materials, saving a lot of money.

The nine individuals from Dou Qi Continent and other regions possess extraordinary talent and have all successively broken through to the Realm Lord realm. Mandala, who was already the strongest, has even gained recognition from the Wood Origin Law and is not far from the Immortal God realm.

In other words, Lin Yuan, who is still a high-ranking military lord, will soon have more than twenty immortal gods serving him, most of whom are special beings whose genetic level is higher than that of ordinary races!

With ample points at his disposal, he has used the Enlightenment function dozens of times over the years to comprehend all the laws contained within the Strange Fire and Ancestral Symbol. He has now fully mastered the eight lower-level primordial laws of the Devouring Star World, and his spatial laws have also made great progress. He can rebuild stronger divine power to break through to the Marquis level.

However, after the breakthrough, the original universe no longer generously bestows divine power, and the lack of divine power will lead to a long period of weakness. To avoid this situation, Lin Yuan has been accumulating divine power in the Azure Dragon body. Now, it has about six thousand times the power of a World Lord, which should be enough to keep both of his regular clones at full strength after the breakthrough.

Lin Yuan's expression was resolute: "It's time to break through to the Marquis level!"

On Lunna Star, the Flame Star Grass, which has broken through to the advanced level of the Marquis title, has a volume exceeding that of the entire planet. The largest planet in the Golden Light Heng System now looks like a toy being hugged by a giant plant.

Inside the underground space, Lin Yuan's cultivation clone began to reorganize his divine power. The information he had received in the virtual universe said that this process was not dangerous and that he just needed to follow the steps.

Whoosh!

His immortal divine power instantly surged, the fundamental laws of space and fire intertwined, and even the other five fundamental laws of the elements joined in, continuously enhancing the basic strength of every strand of divine power.

Five colors of light flow and circulate, arising and departing from each other!

Finally, when the immortal divine power stabilized, Lin Yuan was astonished to find that his internal organs were no longer in a state of pure divine power energy, but had turned back into flesh and blood entities in a very slight way!

"This... I'm of the same race as the Beast God?" He hesitated, his heart filled with lingering worry: "After breaking through to the Immortal God realm, one can only return to a physical body once they reach the level of the strongest being in the universe. Apart from that, only the eight Beast Gods possess this ability, but what became of them..."

"Huh~" He shivered and silently decided that he couldn't tell anyone about this.

"This power..." Lin Yuan sensed the state of his body and finally smiled again: "About two thousand five hundred times the power of a World Lord, not far from the advanced level of Marquis. It wasn't a waste of effort after all."

Before his breakthrough, due to his low genetic level, his divine power was only equivalent to seven hundred times that of a World Lord. He couldn't even pass through the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge with just the surface strength of his divine body. Now, he has suddenly surpassed the fifteenth level and is heading straight for the sixteenth level!

However, after his basic strength was improved, Lin Yuan's divine power reserves were reduced to about 1/4 of the original amount. With a thought, he teleported the Azure Dragon Body, which had been accumulating divine power in his divine realm, over.

Its size has shrunk considerably compared to before, but it is still enough for the main body responsible for cultivation and the clone responsible for handling daily affairs to replenish their divine power reserves. When everything was completed, the Azure Dragon body had become smaller than the main body, and it looked quite strange.

"Owner."

Just as he was lamenting that the path to infinite divine power was still long and arduous, Huang Jin's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Master Tesilek, whom you asked me to keep an eye on, just sent a message, wanting to meet you in the virtual universe."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that my weapon forging is complete?"

When his cultivation stagnated, he tried all kinds of weapons, and even tried to break through to immortality through so-called sword intent or spear intent in a childish way. Although he did not succeed, he mastered almost all weapons.

Therefore, when Lin Yuan needed to change his weapon after breaking through to immortality, he casually chose the spear that was more suitable for the Flame Moon King's Wildfire Hundred Slashes Secret Technique.

He contacted a master blacksmith at the peak of the Marquis level through internal channels of the Virtual Universe Company. The weapons he forged were quite famous among the company's immortal gods. If the materials used were of high quality, they would be of great help to Marquis level experts. Lin Yuan asked the master blacksmith to use the Vajra Pestle of the Great Thunderclap Temple to forge a spear tailored to his needs.

At the time, Teshilek said he had never seen this material before and that it needed to be tested first, which might take a while. He figured it would be safer in the logistics department anyway, and there wouldn't be many opportunities to use weapons, so he agreed.

So, is there a result now?
