Swallowing the Stars: Start with an Enlightenment System

Fall in love with reading, starting now.

"Sixteen years... that's still too short," Baiyuan sighed inwardly.

Without using the nutrient capsule, he would likely struggle to even break through to the ninth level of the Hengxing realm within sixteen years, and achieving significant improvements in other areas would be even more difficult.

Moreover, many of the opponents in the Genius Battle have grasped a trace of the fundamental laws, and some have even mastered more than two.

The very top few have even touched upon higher-level laws such as time and space.

One of their moves would probably be too much for even a hundred of them combined to withstand.

"Looks like I can't skimp on enlightenment points." A determined glint flashed in Baiyuan's eyes. "Then let's just go all in!"

boom!!!

Just then, a vast and powerful aura surged into the sky, like a raging tide.

Everyone looked up and saw a figure suspended in the void, like a newly formed black hole, wantonly devouring the energy of the universe.

"Second Uncle has broken through!" Bai Yuan's expression brightened, and his eyes brimmed with heartfelt joy.

Mo Jin, standing beside him, cheered and jumped for joy, almost leaping up.

"The teacher has broken through to the Domain Lord level!"

Yun Hai's expression turned solemn: "Is this the aura of a Domain Lord? I feel like a single glance from him would be enough to annihilate me."

Long Qi, Aidas, and Yunluo's eyes were filled with envy. As long as they broke through to the Domain Lord level, they could break free from the shackles of the biochip and regain their freedom.

The rest of the army shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Commander, on breaking through to the Domain Lord level!"

Bai Tianning laughed heartily: "Quickly! Prepare immediately, I'm going to throw a grand banquet, and today I'll definitely drink to my heart's content with everyone!"

His heart was churning with emotions; he had been stuck at the Domain Lord level for nearly five thousand years.

I thought it would take tens of thousands of years to break through, but I never expected to succeed in one day.

Swish!

Bai Tianning flashed and appeared in front of Bai Yuan in the next moment.

He looked at his nephew and felt more and more gratified.

"If your parents were still alive, they would be very proud of you."

Upon hearing the word "parents," Baiyuan's heart sank slightly.

His parents were only at the cosmic level; even the Lord of the Universe could not resurrect them.

But as long as he continues to grow stronger until he becomes a Hunyuan expert, he will definitely be able to bring them back!

"Don't take what I said to heart."

Seeing Bai Yuan's slightly somber expression, Bai Tianning quickly changed the subject.

"It's alright, Second Uncle," Baiyuan shook his head gently, "One day, I will bring them back."

Bai Tianning nodded, but in his heart he didn't believe that this could really be achieved, even if he completely mastered the laws of time.

"By the way, Second Uncle, haven't you ever thought about getting married and having children?" Baiyuan suddenly asked.

He had never mentioned it before, fearing it would affect his second uncle's cultivation.

Now that my second uncle has successfully broken through, it's time to ask him about what happened back then.

"I'm already this old, I don't have those kinds of thoughts anymore." Bai Tianning smiled, then changed the subject.

"But you, you're already an adult, haven't you thought about it? I think Mo Jin would be quite suitable."

Mo Jin blushed, lowered her gaze, and secretly glanced at Bai Yuan.

"I'll pass," Baiyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "I need to focus on preparing for the Genius Battle."

"Really? Then you'd better work harder. In the past, the best result of the Blade Clan members who participated in the Genius Battle was that they couldn't even get into the top 10,000 in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"Sigh, I'll try my best."

-

That evening, nearly 10,000 people gathered to celebrate Ning's breakthrough to the Domain Lord level after 100 days.

Not only his direct subordinates, but also other commanders sent messages of congratulations.

The ninth level of the Universe and the first level of the Domain Lord may seem to differ by only one level, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

A domain lord-level powerhouse, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to establish a rudimentary civilization.

It can be said that although Bai Tianning still holds the position of commander, his status is completely different from before.

First, the number of military personnel was expanded to 100,000, and the number of battalion commanders was increased to 100.

Immediately afterwards, the general allocated 10,000 inhabited planets to him for administration.

As a result, not only did his forces surge, but his available funds also increased more than tenfold.

If Bai Tianning hadn't been unwilling to be too ostentatious, he could have even sent out invitations to all the surrounding cosmic-level forces.

Those powerful forces will surely come to offer their congratulations, and the gifts they give will naturally be generous, amounting to an astonishing fortune.

After several rounds of drinks, they were slightly tipsy.

Bai Tianning couldn't help but recall what Bai Yuan had said during the day, and also the past that was buried deep in her heart.

Five thousand years ago, on this very planet, he experienced a utterly crushing defeat in battle.

"Bai Tianning, you, a mere ninth-level cosmic being, dare to dream of marrying my princess? Forget about it now."

"Ahem!"

Bai Tianning coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his gaze remained fixed on the person in mid-air.

With his hands behind his back, his opponent never made a move, completely suppressing him with sheer force of will.

Behind that man, a beautiful figure was struggling frantically.

However, all her efforts were in vain under the world lord's power of sealing.

"Stop! I'll go back with you! Please don't hurt him anymore!"

"Princess, I never intended to take his life, but only to make him realize the immense chasm between him and you."

He could only watch helplessly as that person took away his beloved, without even the slightest power to resist.

boom!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and everyone turned their heads.

Suddenly, Bai Tianning crushed the cup in his hand.

Bai Tianning realized he had lost his composure, quickly composed himself, and said with a smile:

"Sorry, I'm a little drunk. Please continue drinking, I'll go back and rest now."

Bai Yuan saw everything, silently got up, and left with Bai Tianning.

"Second Uncle, what happened?"

"It's nothing, just some old memories."

"Is it related to my 'sister-in-law'?" Baiyuan asked calmly.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I will make the Yabo Empire regret their decision back then in the Genius Battle!"

Bai Tianning suddenly stopped walking and turned around abruptly: "You...know? Who told you?"

"It's Brother Pubang."

Upon hearing this name, Bai Tianning suddenly realized why Bai Yuan had asked that question during the day; it turned out he already knew everything.

He remained silent for a long time, and finally patted Baiyuan's shoulder heavily, his eyes showing both relief and deep-seated melancholy.

"Those things are all in the past. Now that your second uncle is a domain lord, some things... should be let go."

Even so, his eyes, gazing at the starry sky, still held an indelible hatred.

Baiyuan shook his head, as if he had already seen through Baitianning's deep-seated inner turmoil:

"Second Uncle, do you even believe that yourself? Leave everything to me."

Seeing his nephew's appearance, Bai Tianning felt a surge of energy, as if something had ignited within him.

"Alright! Since you've said that, just let me know if you need anything!"

"I do have something to ask," Baiyuan said bluntly, "Does our Seventh Legion have any shared nutrient tanks?"

Buying it myself would be too expensive.

A single E-grade nutrient capsule costs a staggering 8600 billion cosmic coins!

His entire fortune is far less than that amount, not to mention the ongoing consumption of nutrient solutions.

Bai Tianning nodded: "There are indeed some, but they are very expensive to use, so few people use them normally. Fortunately, you are only at the Hengxing level, so the cost is not too outrageous."
