Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Chapter 280 The Power of All Beings' Wishes

boom!!!

The heavens and earth trembled violently, and a vast, illusory world appeared without warning.

That illusory world was vast and boundless, stretching for countless billions of miles. At a glance, it was several times larger than the entire Blade's Edge Holy Land!

Before the Creator could even react, he was enveloped by this vast, illusory world!

"not good!"

The Creator's expression changed drastically, and he did everything in his power to resist the encroachment of that illusory world.

Even so, he still needed to expend most of his energy to barely hold on!

"What kind of move is that?"

The Creator's voice was filled with undisguised horror, mixed with a hint of fear.

He was scared.

This supreme creator, the master who wove the entire world, truly felt fear.

Zero Source gave him no chance to catch his breath.

The virtual world expands once more; this time, it's not enveloping, but tearing apart!

Oh!

In an instant, this world, which had been meticulously woven by the Creator for countless eras, was forcibly torn open in front of Zero Source's virtual interface!

Zero Source stepped out and left this world.

The Creator's expression changed drastically, and his consciousness instantly detached from the Beast King's body and returned to his true form.

Within a vast sea of spiritual consciousness.

This is the true sea of consciousness, a real, existing soul space of primordial life.

In the very center of his mind, a figure opened his eyes.

It was a completely black creature, enormous in size, with a body that appeared somewhat transparent, as if it were composed of some kind of substance that was somewhere between reality and illusion.

It resembles a wolf, with four limbs, a tail, and sharp fangs.

The only difference is that it has ten eyes on its head.

All ten eyes were now open, each gleaming with a dark red light.

"Get out of here!"

The Hunyuan life form let out a deafening roar, its voice filled with anger and humiliation.

"You are merely a fabricated being I created! You are just a toy I casually conjured up in my illusion! What right do you have to kill your master! What right do you have?!"

Ten eyes simultaneously emitted a blinding red light, attempting to build a final line of defense within their own mental consciousness.

The next moment, the expression on this primordial being's face suddenly changed.

The anger vanished, replaced by a wild, almost manic laugh.

"Hahahaha! You've come this far, and you're still spouting nonsense! Just obediently accept your fate and die!"

Two consciousnesses are frantically vying for control deep within the soul of this primordial being.

This is Zero Source's plan.

From the very beginning, he had no intention of engaging in a head-on battle with this chaotic being.

As long as the original owner's consciousness is destroyed and he takes over, then this body of a chaotic being will be his!

The secret techniques of the illusory realm are operating at full speed.

Meanwhile, the consciousness of the Hunyuan life is crumbling inch by inch.

However, they failed to discover that the consciousness of the Hunyuan life was becoming increasingly powerful under suppression, and the deeper it collapsed, the more fiercely it rebounded.

Even the primordial life form itself was unaware of this.

Meanwhile, in that illusory world, countless people recited the same name with either regret or reverence.

Lord Beichi Star stood in his own miniature universe, gazing at the distant void, still holding the cultivation notes personally given to him by Baiyuan in his hand.

Bai Tianning sat in the empty room, an open email in front of her.

He read it over and over again, each word seemingly etched into his heart.

There's also Blade Marquis, Venerable Guiyi, and the eldest brother, twelfth brother, Xuanming, Lingkong, Mogu, and the Mo Jin siblings...

Those who had ever crossed paths with Baiyuan all thought of that name at that moment.

Not just old friends.

Those ordinary cultivators who had never met Baiyuan, those countless beings living in the Blade's Edge Holy Land, and those descendants who benefited from Baiyuan's legacy, all left Baiyuan's shadow in their hearts.

A longing rises from some corner.

Another longing arose from another void.

More and more.

Those emotions, whether deep or shallow, strong or weak, are like countless trickling streams that flow through the endless void and unknowingly converge in one place.

Blade's Sanctuary, a miniature universe of a hundred sources.

In the deepest part of the universe's origin, a black sphere floats silently.

That was a treasure that Baiyuan personally crafted after breaking through to the Void True God realm.

At that time, Baiyuan was about to "disappear," so he carefully crafted this item and presented it to the founder of the giant axe.

Later, the founder of the Great Axe obtained a better treasure, so he left this item in the Blade's Edge Sanctuary.

This treasure inherently contains the will of Baiyuan!

At this moment, the longing and faith that had gathered were continuously pouring into that black sphere.

A thought of longing, so light, so faint, that it is almost non-existent.

But when hundreds, thousands, or even billions of thoughts converge, they can generate some incredible power.

That was an emotional resonance from the depths of the souls of countless living beings.

And then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Above the black sphere, a phantom figure began to slowly take shape.

At first, it was just a blurry mass of light and shadow, without shape or outline.

But as time went by, the light and shadow gradually coalesced into the outline of a person.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield deep within the soul, the situation is undergoing subtle changes.

Zero Source originally held an absolute advantage, and everything was going very smoothly.

Then, Zero Source discovered the problem.

The will of life in the primordial chaos is actually getting stronger and stronger!

Zero Baiyuan's face immediately darkened.

When all living beings are driven to the brink of despair, they often unleash power beyond what they have ever possessed before.

This is an instinctive reaction etched deep within the soul, the last flame of the will to survive burning in the most critical moment.

This applies to ordinary living beings, cultivators, true gods, and even primordial beings.

What he is doing now is precisely driving this chaotic life form into a desperate situation.

It was filled with fear, but it was precisely because of this emotion that its will was aroused to an unprecedented height.

This is not good news for him.

"Damn it..." Zero Baiyuan gritted his teeth, a sense of anxiety rising in his heart.

"We can't delay any longer; if we keep dragging this out, the situation will only get worse."

If we fail this time, it will truly be the end.

There was no second chance, no room for a comeback.

If it succeeds, then it will live.

Defeat means death.

"Die!"

Zero Source let out a low, angry roar.

He had to defeat the other party in the shortest possible time!

He pushed the Void Realm Secret Technique to its limit, causing the vast illusory world to shrink wildly, concentrating all its power into a single point, transforming it into a blade of will that fiercely slashed towards the primordial life consciousness!

This strike left no room for retreat.

Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.

Rumble!!!

A terrifying pressure of will suddenly exploded out, its momentum was astonishing, even the entire sea of consciousness was trembling violently, and even Zero Source's Void Realm Secret Technique was shaken to the point of collapse at this moment.

Immediately following was a burst of extremely arrogant laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

The voice of Hunyuan life echoed in every corner of the battlefield of souls. There was no fear in that laughter, only a kind of almost manic triumph and joy.

"My will has broken through! I will win this battle again! If you had used this move from the beginning, I definitely wouldn't have been able to stop you, but unfortunately you didn't!"

It's right.

Zero Source's final blow, that blade of will formed from the secret techniques of the Void Realm, was indeed far more powerful than it could originally withstand.

If that blow had come before it was driven to the brink of despair, it would have been absolutely unable to withstand it, and its will would most likely have been shattered by that single strike.

The key point is that Zero Source didn't make this move from the very beginning.

He chose to devour it gradually, and it was this process that pushed it to the edge of its limit time and time again, making it feel the approach of death.

The final move truly pushed him far beyond his limits.

However, by then his accumulated knowledge was already quite substantial, and under pressure to push his limits, he broke through in one fell swoop.

"How could this be the result?"

Zero Baiyuan was extremely surprised. He never expected that the other party would actually break through in that ultimate attack!

They were so close, just a tiny bit away from completely defeating the opponent!

Their consciousness clashed once more, and this time Zero Baiyuan was instantly suppressed, falling into a completely disadvantageous position.

"I am invincible! You'd better just disappear!"

Just as Hunyuan Life was preparing to concentrate all its strength and completely annihilate Zero in one fell swoop, its ten eyes suddenly narrowed simultaneously.

"Huh? How come the world is spinning on its own? Something's not right!"

It clearly wasn't controlling this world, yet the false world it had woven itself was now operating on its own, without any intervention from its will.

It was as if... as if it had developed its own consciousness, or rather, as if it had been taken over by some other force.

Hunyuan Life felt a chill in his heart and immediately separated a part of his consciousness to trace the abnormal fluctuation.

Consciousness traversed layers of void and finally landed deep within the Blade's Sanctuary.

It saw a black sphere, and above that sphere, a phantom figure slowly taking shape.

"You're still alive? Are you all cockroaches?!"

Hunyuan Life practically roared it out, his voice filled with madness.

I'm speechless. These guys are all monsters with cheat codes!

Hunyuan Life forcefully suppressed his agitation, preparing to nip the still-developing figure in the bud in the bud within the Blade's Holy Land.

At the same time, Zero Source, deep within the Soul Battlefield, also sensed this scene.

That is not the original being, not an incarnation, not a projection of will, but a completely new form of existence formed by the convergence of the thoughts and beliefs of countless beings.

Zero Source's expression was somewhat complicated.

"He...did it!"

He seemed to hear the words of that senior's guidance echoing in his ears.

"Remember, the so-called reality does not refer to existence itself, but to the mind and will. As long as one has a free will, then one is a truly existing being."

"If you can do that, I believe all the problems will be solved."

The elder had said this to him years ago.

But at that time he was too focused on the surface and couldn't understand the deeper meaning at all.

Zero Baiyuan stood there in a daze, then revealed a relieved smile.

"It turns out I was on the wrong path too, while you succeeded by sheer chance."

The next moment, Zero Baiyuan's consciousness suddenly transformed into a streak of light and rushed toward the illusory figure!

Hunyuan Life had no idea of this move.

It wanted to do something, but it was too late.

The illusory figure merged completely with Baiyuan's collective consciousness in an instant.

The illusory figure began to solidify rapidly, and its originally almost transparent outline gradually became clearly visible.

"Don't even think about it!"

The Hunyuan life finally came to its senses and let out a deafening roar.

Ten eyes simultaneously shot out blinding red light, transforming into a powerful shockwave capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, slamming fiercely towards the merging figure!

It used all its strength in that attack.

However, nothing happened.

The ten eyes of the Hunyuan life form widened even more, its face filled with disbelief. Its willpower attack was completely ineffective!

Even worse things were yet to come.

The primordial being suddenly discovered that it could no longer mobilize the power of the world!

And that figure finally opened its eyes.

"I didn't expect it to turn out this way."

Baiyuan said softly, his tone full of emotion.

He truly hadn't expected that Zero Baiyuan would relinquish his own consciousness at the last moment, entrusting everything to Baiyuan without reservation.

The Hunyuan life form tried to escape in terror, but its consciousness was immediately captured by Baiyuan.

Instead of destroying it, Baiyuan directly merged with the consciousness of the Hunyuan life form.

"No! You can't do that! I am the master of this world!"

"You treat all things like straw dogs to satisfy your own selfish desires. In terms of authority, you are indeed the master of this world. But I am unwilling to submit to your rule."

Bai Yuan spoke coldly, each word like a knife.

The life force of Hunyuan struggled frantically, but it did not cause the slightest ripple.

Having received the power of all beings' wishes, and having undergone the tempering of life and death, his state of mind has long since reached an inconceivable level.

In the end, amidst its unwilling roars, it was completely merged with Baiyuan.

In an instant, everything in that illusory world was within his perception.

The primordial universe, the cosmic sea, the world of Jin, the land of darkness, the holy land of blades... and the countless beings who are thinking of him and praying for him.

Baiyuan smiled and then said something softly.

The sound clearly reached every corner of the cosmic sea and the ears of every living being who missed him.

"I'm back."

Immediately, he separated a wisp of his consciousness and resurrected his parents.

Now, he is the new master of this world.

With a single thought, one can resurrect anyone.

"Father, Mother, let's go home," Baiyuan said softly, a long-lost smile appearing on his lips. "I'm afraid if we don't go back soon, Second Uncle will go crazy."

Within a sacred realm, the true form of the primordial being opened its eyes.

Before it stood a small but imposing young man in a blue robe with long hair.

"Lord Xueying," Baiyuan said respectfully.

Having come this far, he could easily guess the identity of the person before him.

To be able to set up such an inconceivable scheme within the illusionary world of the Hunyuan life form, who else but "Dongbo Xueying," the number one soul in all the heavens and myriad realms, could do it?

"That child was able to sacrifice himself for others at the last moment, so my teachings were not in vain." Dongbo Xueying's eyes revealed a hint of relief.

Then, he gently waved his arm.

Eleven figures instantly coalesced into form, which were the eleven Hundred Origin Consciousness Entities that had dissipated one after another and each walked different paths.

"Only Lord Xueying could possess such skill in turning falsehood into truth and illusion into reality," Baiyuan exclaimed sincerely.

"Hehe, I'll take care of them." Dongbo Xueying smiled calmly. "You should focus on your own business."

"Yes."

The moment the words were spoken, the world changed drastically.

Just moments ago, the sky was clear and cloudless, but in the blink of an eye, the clouds suddenly pressed down, forming a dark, oppressive blanket that covered the entire area.

Rolling black clouds surged like a tide, instantly filling the entire sky of the Holy Realm. Terrifying power accumulated wildly deep within the clouds, causing people's hearts to tremble.

This commotion is huge.

The overwhelming power of the heavens swept across the land, as if the entire world was trembling in anticipation of the birth of some being.

Only a few truly powerful individuals can discern the origin of this extraordinary phenomenon.

"Who is breaking through to become a higher-level primordial life form?"

"I don't know! It's not from our area!"

"We don't sense any powerful aura emanating from them here; they're not in this area!"

After a brief moment of panic, everyone's eyes converged in the same direction.

Just then, a golden light faintly appeared deep within the dark clouds.

The golden light surged and churned in the clouds, dazzlingly bright, even piercing through layers of dark clouds and scattering its light onto the earth below.

The golden light intertwined with the black sea of clouds, gradually forming a huge vortex.

The center of the vortex shone with golden light, while the outer perimeter was surrounded by countless black clouds, creating a magnificent scene that slowly spread in all directions.

Upon witnessing this unusual phenomenon, everyone realized the direction in which the person who had broken through was located.

But they didn't dare to disturb them rashly.

That was a breakthrough for a high-level Chaos Origin life form, an existence that could kill a group of them with a single breath. Who would dare to risk such a calamity?

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of power poured down from the golden vortex, directly into Bai Yuan's body.

Baiyuan's momentum surged wildly.

Upon entering advanced studies, he made breakthroughs, and then breakthroughs again, advancing triumphantly and unstoppably.

The upward trend showed no signs of slowing down, as if it could never reach its limits.

It wasn't until it broke through to the point of perfecting the advanced primordial life form that it finally came to a slow stop.

Meanwhile, in another space.

Three figures watched the commotion from afar.

A short-haired young man in a white robe, a long-haired young man in a blue robe, and an old man in a floral shirt, floral shorts, and large slippers.

"Spiritual fulfillment, not bad, not bad." The old man in the floral shirt, "Yuan," smiled broadly, his eyes full of admiration.

"The mindset of an enlightened being and the physical body of a primordial life form—taken individually, these two things are merely commendable; but combined, they are truly unique!"

The white-robed youth, Luo Feng, nodded slightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"Breakthrough means reaching the peak of advanced Chaos Origin Life. Breaking through to the world-class Chaos Origin Life shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps... there's a sliver of hope to reach the Ancestor Realm."

Although he was the strongest among the nine lords, the number of lords he represented was pitifully small compared to the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos.

Besides the scarcity of lords, the number of Hunyuan beings in subordinate forces is also very small, incomparable to those born with Hunyuan nature.

He would naturally be happy to see another powerful figure emerge from the side of the enlightened one.

"Haha, let's see how far he can go in the future." Dongbo Xueying laughed the most heartily.

In some ways, Baiyuan could be considered half of his apprentice.

"We'll see." Yuan narrowed his eyes, his smile deepening.

Next, Baiyuan was guided to the Hunyuan World, where he began a brand new life.
