Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 21 Thor: You said you reached planetary level in just two days?

"Before my master perished, he sold all his assets and exchanged them for cosmic currency, which he gave to me to nurture future successors," Rimuru said.

"Of course, the master didn't sell some odds and ends that weren't worth much. For example, the 'Frost Sword' on your back is a second-tier Force weapon, corresponding to a Constant Star level martial artist."

"Hmm... The assets left by the master amount to 237 million Chaos Units. Adding the Ice Wasteland spaceship, the total value exceeds six million Chaos Units. I will temporarily keep them in custody."

"Mixed Yuan Units are the currency used by Immortals. Generally speaking, an ordinary Realm Lord's entire fortune is only a dozen or so Mixed Yuan Units," Rimuru explained to Gu Ce.

(O)

Gu Ce was slightly startled. He could only say that it was indeed from Virtual Universe Company.

The wealth of a realm lord of a secret realm surpasses that of an ordinary immortal!

The Lord of the Ice Wasteland has only one approach to cultivating successors!

buy!

Buy whatever you need!

"Master's money is stored in the Universe's First Bank, and you can only use it when you go into space," Rimuru said.

"If we were on Earth, I wouldn't have many resources to nurture you."

"The next Genius Battle is about to begin. I will do my best to help you improve your strength before the battle starts and enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company!"

Rimuru took out a ring and handed it to Gu Ce.

"This is the World Ring, which can store living things. It has a space of 10,000 cubic kilometers in size, and that's all the rest of the things inside... You're not a psychic, so you need to reach the planetary level to use it," Rimuru said.

"You wait."

With a thought, Rimuru took out a crystal-clear fruit from his World Ring.

The fruit exuded a chilling aura; as soon as Gu Ce got close to it, he felt as if his entire body was about to freeze.

"The Celestial Ice Crystal Fruit! It comes from a secret realm in the universe. Consuming it can slightly enhance the user's talent for the fundamental laws of water. The price of just one fruit could buy several star systems."

"With this, and with my guidance, your talent still gives you a chance to get into Virtual Universe Company."

"For example, the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Crystal you used before was just a stone modified by a trace of energy that escaped during the growth of this fruit. If you want, I have many more here."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ce accepted the fruit.

"Eat it directly. This fruit will strengthen your physique and guide you to break through to the planetary level," Rimuru laughed (￣～￣).

Without hesitation, Gu Ce swallowed the fruit and immediately sat down on the ground.

The fruit melted in his mouth, flowing into Gu Ce's body like ice water, permeating every part of his body and circulating continuously within him.

Gu Ce felt his whole body heating up, as if every cell in his body was boiling, greedily absorbing the flowing energy. The genetic energy within him began to gather like droplets of water, merging into streams, then rivers...

This energy continuously rotated and converged, eventually settling in Gu Ce's dantian area.

"boom!"

The dantian was opened up out of thin air!

Gu Ce felt a tremor run through his body. The rotating genetic energy accelerated its rotation, constantly expanding and contracting, and its volume became smaller with each expansion and contraction!

A miniature blue planet appeared in the empty dantian, spinning continuously.

Planetary level one!

Gu Ce's entire body was undergoing a transformation, as if his body was being crushed and then reformed, with a trace of blue genetic energy overflowing.

"The special ability gained from consuming this Heavenly Ice Crystal Fruit should be a pure water body. Hmm, not bad." Rimuru's voice echoed in Gu Ce's mind.

"snort!"

Gu Ce grunted and gritted his teeth to persevere.

It's not over yet!

The powerful energy within him was still surging, and soon, a second miniature planet was formed.

The third one, the fourth one...

When the fifth miniature planet was being condensed, the remaining energy in the body was finally exhausted, and it ultimately stopped at the fourth level of the planetary level.

Gu Ce suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes, as if he had been pricked by a needle. When he tried to feel it more closely, the sensation disappeared.

Has the six-eyed creature mutated again?

Not knowing the details of the mutation yet, Gu Ce ignored him.

"Only upgraded to Planetary Level 4? I thought I could push you directly to the Celestial Level or above." Rimuru's voice rang in his mind, sounding somewhat puzzled.

Gu Ce guessed it was related to the changes in Liu Yan, but he didn't say anything.

After advancing to the planetary level, one can use the World Ring by releasing their genetic energy.

With a thought, Gu Ce began to examine the contents of the World Ring.

As Rimuru said, what was left inside was all "junk," which was only somewhat useful to those below the Eternal Star level, with the best being some Tier 3 Force weapons.

"Because the master did not know whether the future successor would be a martial artist or a psychic, he left behind his weapon, the 'Ice Wasteland Sword,' and the Miao Divine Weapon, one of the nine divine weapons that he controlled," Rimuru explained.

The Ice Desolate Sword is a weapon of the level of an immortal god, surpassing fifth-tier primal force weapons, but not as good as the lowest-level treasure.

This was obtained by chance by the master of the Ice Wasteland Realm. If it were to be sold, the price would probably be more than several million Chaos Units. It would definitely be the most valuable thing in his assets, and some Marquis or even King Immortals would want to get it.

The wielder of the nine divine weapons, when used to their fullest potential, can pose the weakest threat to the Immortals at the Realm Lord level.

The original work does not provide a detailed explanation of this level of weapon; it only states that it is a weapon used by immortals.

"Let's leave here first."

Gu Ce put the Ice Wasteland into his ring; Thor was still waiting outside.

……

Wow!

Large amounts of snow, mixed with gravel and ice, fell to the ground.

Thor, who was waiting for Gu Ce at the entrance of the ruins, rolled away to avoid the falling rubble, and then felt a chill down his spine.

"when!"

Thor couldn't see the person's face clearly. He only had time to draw his weapon to block, but he was still sent flying backwards.

"Um?"

As the smoke cleared, Thor finally got a good look at the newcomer and could see his face clearly.

"Gu Ce!"

Thor's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. When he looked behind Gu Ce, the ruins had vanished!

Looking at Gu Ce again, he still had that smug smile on his face, and Thor couldn't help but ask a question.

"What did you do? How come the remains are gone?"

"Of course it's because I'm too talented, that relic took the initiative to follow me," Gu Ce laughed.

"Be serious!" Thor glared at him, annoyed.

Why don't you say that some unparalleled master is crying and begging to take you as their disciple?

"Rimuru, can I talk to him?" Gu Ce thought to himself.

"No problem," Rimuru replied instantly. "Just make sure the contents of the inheritance aren't leaked."

Gu Ce nodded and recounted his experiences to Thor.

After omitting some details, there's really nothing to hide.

Thor was stunned. After a long pause, he shook his head violently and said, "So, you're saying you reached the planetary level in just two days? And the fourth tier of the planetary level at that!"

Thor suddenly felt a pang of envy, wondering why he hadn't been chosen!

Gu Ce was also somewhat curious about this.

That's what Rimuru said.

"The inheritance mainly tests three aspects: learning ability, willpower, and talent in the laws."

"This bald guy called Thor has a good will and mindset, but his other two aspects are too poor. Gu Ce, although your talent in laws is also average, your other two aspects are extremely strong, and your comprehension is also extremely high. You can start to create your own secret techniques at the apprentice level."

"Of course, there's also the reason why you're more suitable to be passed down to your master."
