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

Just as Yan Lingji was lost in thought about how to develop and build the dance troupe, Lu Linglong waved her hand: "Don't daydream, there's also this!"

With a solemn expression, she handed over another jade bottle: "Inside are three longevity pills. One can extend an ordinary person's life by ten years. Brother Lin Yuan wants you to lie low in Xinzheng and hand them over to the King of Qin when he appears!"

"Give it to Ying Zheng?" Yan Lingji asked, puzzled. "Why? He has nothing to do with the chat group!"

Lin Yuan: I'll answer that question.

The sudden message in the group startled Yan Lingji. Could it be that the other party had been watching all along? Then what happened before...?

[Lin Yuan: Don't overthink it. The live stream only started after Linglong had you dressed properly. Besides, I was the one who set up the memory instances. What on you is there that I haven't seen?]

Lin Yuan knew what the other person was thinking without her saying a word, and one sentence made her face turn red.

[Yan Ling Ji: You!]

"I'm so angry! Calm down! I can't beat him! I can't beat him! I can't beat him!"

The two on the official road stopped moving forward. Lu Linglong looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her with a strange expression. The way the woman suddenly clenched her teeth and clutched her chest to catch her breath was so cute that Lu Linglong couldn't help but want to go up and touch her.

She was brought here by Zhang Zhiwei, and there was a temporary chat interface in her mind, but she could only communicate with him. The previous live broadcast was also remotely operated by the Old Master, so she really didn't know what Lin Yuan said.

Meanwhile, ignoring what Yan Lingji's steaming brain was thinking, Lin Yuan continued speaking in the group chat.

[Lin Yuan: The establishment of the song and dance troupe was just a side thing; it was just to give you something to do, otherwise you would have a hard time enduring the long period of loneliness ahead.]

[Lin Yuan: The only thing I'm asking you to do is help Ying Zheng live another thirty years. I want to see if, with a longer lifespan, this great emperor can lead the Chinese nation to new heights.]

Almost all Chinese people view the First Emperor, who personally created a unified empire, through a kind of magical lens, believing that given enough time, he could have made China even greater.

The most outrageous historical fanfiction Lin Yuan had ever read was about a woman who transmigrated to the Qin Dynasty. She could use her reputation to exchange for various things through a system. At first, she wanted to exchange for a treasure that would allow her to return to modern society, but what happened?

Once she confirmed that Ying Zheng was in power, she immediately changed her goal. Lacking any additional skills, she settled down to be a courtesan in a brothel, determined to obtain an elixir of immortality for her beloved Ying Zheng!

Although he had traveled through more than three million years, Lin Yuan's memories of the past had become very vague, but the eight characters "Born of Heaven, May Your Life Be Long and Prosperous" still often appeared in his mind, so now that he had the opportunity to change things, he would treat it as fulfilling a dream...

Lin Yuan muttered to himself, "It's not enough to let Ying Zheng live for thousands of years. There is only one old monster in the world. The madness of countless dying people will overwhelm him. He can only hide in the dark and in the end, he will only create a useless immortal."

"Thirty years is just the right amount of time, enough for the empire to transition smoothly. Even if the lack of checks and balances leads to Ying Zheng's senility in his later years, Yan Ling Ji will be there to set things right!"

……

After dealing with matters within the group in the Swallowed Star World, Lin Yuan once again immersed himself in cultivating the Wildfire Hundred Slashes. This time, it went very smoothly, and he successfully mastered the fourth form in less than thirty years.

However, he did not go to find the Flame Moon King immediately, since the estimated time he had given his teacher was about a hundred years.

Anyone who has been to school or has work experience knows that you can't finish the tasks assigned by your teacher or boss too far in advance. Otherwise, at most they will praise you for your strong work ability, but there will be no real benefits. However, their standards will become more and more demanding afterward.

Although comparing cultivation to this is not quite appropriate, Lin Yuan admitted that he could not focus solely on cultivation like his teacher, Yan Yue Wang. Therefore, he devoted the rest of his time to guiding Hun Tian Di and Mandala. As the Book of Rites says, teaching and learning complement each other, so he did not consider this a waste.

"You have all reached the ninth level of Realm Lord. I'd like to ask you what your thoughts are on your future cultivation path?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Xuan and the Soul Emperor stepped forward: "We have no other opinions; everything will be as you see fit, sir."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "I'm not trying to test you. Besides, everyone needs the chat group's protective shield against detection anyway, so I'm not worried about you betraying me. Just speak your mind and stop being so hesitant!"

It has to be said that it feels really good to be as outspoken as Yan Yue Wang in criticizing others' nagging.

Seeing that he genuinely just wanted to understand their thoughts, Mandala hesitated for a moment before saying, "I... I want to cultivate the secret techniques of the demon race, especially those created by immortal beings who have become flower spirits. They should be of great help to me."

Although all races comprehend the same laws, there are significant differences between the human and demon races in the fusion and application of these laws. After all, the divine bodies of the demon race are generally larger than those of the human race, and their understanding of unleashing divine power is more authoritative.

"Sure." Lin Yuan turned his head, looked at the other party with a smile and said, "I remember there are some captured demon race secret techniques in the Virtual Universe Company's internal database. I'll find you a few later."

He didn't refuse. In any case, under the cover of the chat group, his non-human subordinates were all his soul servants in the eyes of outsiders. He could even break through to immortality in the human territory, let alone just cultivate the secret techniques of the demon race.

Those at the Realm Lord level can only help Lin Yuan with daily affairs; they can only truly assist him once he breaks through to the Immortal realm.

Whether he goes to the battlefield outside the region to collect resources or joins the core of the five major forces to work and earn points, the resources he has to give up are just initial investments.

Seeing that Lin Yuan really wanted to help them improve, the remaining people immediately started making requests one after another.

"We want to see the secret cultivation methods of the Starry Sky Beast!"

These are Zhu Kun and Zi Yan. The Taixu Ancient Dragon is already enormous, and after reaching the Realm Lord realm, it becomes even more overwhelming, comparable to several medium-sized Starry Sky Beasts. It will be no problem for it to join the Starry Sky Beast Alliance as a new race after breaking through to Immortality in the future.

Logically speaking, another creature that fits this description is the Devouring Python, which evolved from Queen Medusa. So why didn't Lin Yuan bring her back?

The lie was that the other party still needed the Nine-Colored Origin Stone and to purify their bloodline in the Devouring Python's tomb so that they could be compared to the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon King Clan of the Void, which Lin Yuan found troublesome; the truth was that he forgot at the time!

"This is rather difficult." Lin Yuan looked troubled. "The Starry Sky Beasts, like you, inherit bloodlines. Very few of them can still extract secret techniques after being enslaved alive. If all else fails, how about using the secret techniques of the Flood Dragon Clan of the Demon Race in the future?"

The two exchanged a glance and nodded. The now beautiful Da Ziyan replied, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Brother Lin Yuan."

"Um."

……

"I want to try the path of an illusionist. I would like to ask Lord Lin Yuan to help me find some suitable secret techniques for reference."

This is the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. Although he doesn't have the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, his illusionary talent is still top-notch in the world. After breaking through to immortality, he is likely to become an illusionary master. If he can enslave alien immortal powerhouses stronger than himself through willpower, like the company's Dream King, he will have made a fortune.

"Okay, I'll give it to you later."

……

"We both want to become spiritual practitioners, and we believe that our understanding of the soul is second to none."

These are the Yellow Spring Demon Saint and the Soul Emperor. Both of them are the people in their respective worlds who have studied the power of the soul most deeply. After being subdued by Lin Yuan, they became like-minded.

They even worked together to push the controller's divine weapon, which was compatible with their own attributes, to its limit. At the peak of the realm lord level, they could withstand the attacks of immortal gods. When they joined forces, they could remain undefeated for thirty moves, and only after a few more moves would they be defeated due to insufficient energy.

"No problem. Ancestor Lin Meng is a spiritualist, and his strength has recently broken through again. His advanced military lord-level secret techniques should be enough for you to use for now. We can change them after your strength improves."

……

"I...I still prefer formations, but there are too few of these in this world. Brother Lin Yuan, do you have any ideas?"

Qing Yanjing, a genius girl from the Futu Ancient Clan, has been abducted for over 100,000 years. Although she has gained the recognition of the Origin Law, she is only equivalent to a Grandmaster of Spirit-grade Array Formation due to the lack of inheritance.

Lin Yuan knew that even if she didn't follow him, she would still have a bright future, so he felt a rare sense of guilt towards her.

"Wait a little longer. I'll go to the Great Thousand World again in a while and bring back the array inheritance of the Ancient Buddha Clan."

"Thank you, Brother Lin Yuan."

……

The remaining two, like Lin Yuan, abandoned the flashy style and took the path of martial arts.

He turned to look at Xiao Xuan: "You cultivate the fundamental law of fire. Go to the Abyss of Flame Spirit to see those strange flames whenever you have time. They will begin to break through in a concentrated manner in a few hundred years. When the primordial universe will infuse them with the law of immortality, study it carefully. This opportunity should be enough for you to master the complete fundamental law of fire."

"Yes, Lord Xie Linyuan!"

Ying Huanhuan, or rather the Ice Master, stared intently at Lin Yuan, but turned her head away when he looked at her.

But everyone present was perceptive; to them, her actions were nothing more than self-deception. Lin Yuan was also amused by her arrogance.

He coughed lightly and said, "Huanhuan, although the Ice Ancestral Symbol is no longer the embodiment of the law after leaving the Tianxuan Continent, it has become a strange vessel. I have asked an immortal god who cultivates the fundamental law of water to completely imprint his understanding of the law on it."

"It is expected to be completed in about 30 years. At that time, you can relive your experience of following the Ancestor of Symbols to comprehend the Ancestor Symbol of Ice."

"Um... thank you." A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz sounded. If Lin Yuan hadn't seen the other person's blushing face and lowered head, he would have thought he had just imagined it.

……

After preparing everything they needed, forty or fifty years had passed. The main reason for the delay was to find someone to exchange for the secret techniques of the demon dragon lineage and to travel to the Great Thousand World.

Lin Yuan couldn't find the relevant information in the internal database, and finally contacted the peak Marquis-level expert who had enslaved a small green dragon through some immortal gods he knew.

The latter is a complete waste of time. The complete inheritance of the Futu Ancient Clan is personally kept by the Grand Elder Futu Xuan, who is of the Saint rank. Although this old man is pedantic and conservative, he values ​​his family very much. Lin Yuan tried his best but could not make him submit.

Finally, having no other choice, and knowing he couldn't possibly exterminate the Futu Ancient Clan, he recalled the original plot and had Qing Yanjing transfer a wisp of power to him. After gaining the ancestral tower's recognition, Futu Xuancai handed over the inheritance.

……

"Lin Yuan, how's your cultivation going?"

Ten years remained until the originally scheduled time to emerge from seclusion, when a message from the Flame Moon King jolted him awake.

"With 2,800 times the power of a Realm Lord, my current genetic level improvement has reached its limit. It's time to go see my teacher!"
