Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

"What a high-class F-class spaceship."

Bai Yuan watched as the purple spaceship slowly descended.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hatch of the F-class spaceship suddenly opened, and a figure stepped out.

He was an old man with white hair, who subtly controlled the power of heaven and earth. He was clearly a realm lord recognized by the fundamental laws of the universe.

In terms of strength, the old man far surpassed Bai Yuan; he could kill him with a single breath. However, in terms of status and position, he was far inferior.

"Greetings, Your Highness. This spaceship is forged from F7 grade metal with a purple-gold luster and incorporates the fundamental laws, making its power extremely formidable, enough to deal with ordinary immortal powerhouses."

F-grade metal corresponds to the Immortal level. With F7-grade metal combined with the cutting-edge technology of Virtual Universe Company, this spaceship is powerful enough to allow Bai Yuan to escape from the hands of an ordinary Immortal.

As for the title "Your Highness," it originates from the rules of the Virtual Universe Company.

Baiyuan entered the "Primal Secret Realm," the highest level of the four secret realms, which usually has only one hundred members.

Although the white-haired elder was stronger, he was only a fourth-level "Apocalyptic Secret Realm" and was naturally far inferior to Baiyuan in status.

"Your Highness, let's enter the virtual universe together," the white-haired old man said with a smile. "I'll take you to the virtual headquarters of my Virtual Universe Company."

The spaceship had already traveled into the dark universe, its speed constantly increasing until it approached 20 times the speed of light, and then continued to travel at this constant speed in the dark universe.

Inside the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company, Baiyuan met with the white-haired old man.

As the old man walked, he explained the situation to him:

"The entire Rain Mountain is divided into five areas: the 'Primordial Area,' the 'Primordial Area,' the 'Heavenly Area,' the 'Apocalyptic Area,' and the 'Public Area.' These five areas are roughly the same size."

"There are only one hundred people in the primitive area."

"There are about a thousand people in the Primordial District."

"There are millions of people in the Tian area."

"And the post-apocalyptic zone has tens of millions of people."

"As for the public areas, these are places for commerce, entertainment, and other activities, and members of all four areas may enter. However, Your Highness... members of the Primordial Area, the Beginning Area, the Heavenly Area, and the End Times Area may not enter each other's areas."

"This is the difference in status."

"In the Tian area, each person only has one small villa to enjoy."

"The total population of the Primitive Zone is no more than one hundred, so a luxurious manor with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers was specially built. The manor is equipped with various cultivation facilities, and there are immortal-level experts stationed there to provide guidance. There are also a large number of servants to serve, and various sparring partners can be summoned at any time."

The white-haired old man spoke, his eyes filled with envy.

The difference in welfare benefits is enormous. In the post-apocalyptic zone, people live in ordinary rooms; in the celestial zone, they live in detached villas; in the primordial zone, it's like living in a manor; and as for the primitive zone...

It's as if one person built an estate with a diameter of thousands of kilometers, practically an independent kingdom!

Standing on a steep rock, the white-haired old man pointed into the distance. In the clouds and mist, an enormous island appeared and disappeared, surrounded by electric snakes and lightning.

"That is Thunder Island, also known as 'Immortal Island,' which is hundreds or thousands of times larger than Rain Mountain. All the immortal powerhouses of the Virtual Universe Company generally live there."

"If Rain Mountain is the gathering place for core members below the Immortal level and a place for cultivating geniuses, then Thunder Island is the true gathering place for strong people and Immortals."

Thunder Island is the immortal center of the entire Virtual Universe Corporation and the seat of supreme power.

"I'll go to Thunder Island sooner or later," Bai Yuan said softly, his gaze resolute.

The white-haired old man nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he disagreed. The more talented a person is, the less willing they are to be ordinary, the more difficult the path they choose, and the more arduous the journey they take.

For example, Luo, the Lord of Time, deliberately stayed at the peak of the Lord realm and devoted himself to comprehending the laws of time. However, he encountered a problem along the way, wasted hundreds of thousands of years, and almost failed to break through.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to take Hong Zuo as his apprentice ahead of time, so his future achievements should not be too low.

Then there's Bolan, who was too confident in his talent and insisted on cultivating both the Time and Space Laws simultaneously, resulting in a sharp decline in his cultivation speed.

That's what genius is—unwilling to be mediocre.

Ordinary immortals are beneath their notice; their goal is to become the strongest among immortals, or even surpass them!

To be honest, if it weren't for the Enlightenment System as a safety net, Baiyuan would probably only be able to specialize in the Law of Metal in his entire life, and he wouldn't have had the spare energy to cultivate the Law of Water as well.

Afterwards, Baiyuan went to the library with a clear purpose: to select a suitable secret technique.

After searching for a while, he actually found it.

"The Eight Demon Blades of Reversal" is a sword technique based on the fusion of the metal and water elements. As it is also a sword technique, it is perfectly suited to him and has great reference value.

As the champion of the Genius Battle, Bai Yuan enjoys many privileges, such as the first secret technique being completely free; he can select it and take it away without consuming points.

The book he had his eye on required a full 100,000 points to redeem, but he only had 10,000 points at the moment.

He wanted to choose the more expensive one, but the system wouldn't let him, obviously to prevent him from aiming too high.

"I'll save the points for later."

Baiyuan didn't choose any other items, mainly because she didn't really need them.

His only goal now is to enhance his understanding of the fundamental laws.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Bai Yuan's strength has improved rapidly, but compared to those super geniuses, he is probably still somewhat inferior.

In terms of comprehension, he is indeed slightly inferior.

But with a hundred Enlightenment Points in hand, he was not flustered at all; surpassing them was just a matter of minutes.

His current goal is to break through to the Realm Lord level as soon as possible. By taking advantage of the Realm Lord level, which allows him to have a clearer understanding of the power of the world, he can improve his understanding of the laws of metal and water, and at the same time begin to cultivate the laws of space or time.

If possible, he plans to cultivate two superior laws simultaneously!

"Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one."

As the voice of the intelligent life on the spaceship faded, Baiyuan slowly opened his eyes, indicating that they had arrived at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company.

The spaceship returned to its original universe and activated the 3D projection function, allowing Baiyuan to see the outside world clearly.

The mainland! A vast and boundless mainland!

Although he already knew how enormous the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company was, Baiyuan was still deeply shocked when he actually saw it.

Even though the continent was clearly visible in the starry sky, the F-class spaceship, traveling at near the speed of light, still took about thirteen hours to reach one of the entrances to the Virtual Universe Company's global headquarters.

Baiyuan stepped onto a dreamlike corridor and followed the path indicated by the old man in white.

A moment later, he entered an oval hall.

The lobby is made of transparent material on all sides and the dome, so you can look up and see the endless starry sky, and in the distance you can see the breathtaking view of the headquarters.

Spaceships occasionally fly by, and one can even see immortal beings streaking across the sky like shooting stars.

Bai Yuan was almost the last to arrive. Of the thousand geniuses, nine hundred and ninety-eight had already arrived, and with him, that made nine hundred and ninety-nine.

"Huh, there are actually people who came later than me." Baiyuan was a little surprised.

"Who said that? I'm here!"

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

Before he could finish speaking, Yao Gu rushed in through the door.
