Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Iron Hammer, the observer of the Giant Axe Arena, snorted:

"Your Virtual Universe Company really can't keep secrets. You're just someone who controls a field, why are you praising us like this?"

"Someone who controls a field?" Bluebird sneered.

"Leaving aside planetary level, just talking about those at the constellation level who have mastered their domains, your Giant Axe Arena hasn't had many this year, has it? You're rather incompetent in recruiting for the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Iron Hammer's expression was rather unpleasant, and he didn't reply.

Mo Yu, the observer of the Qianwu Dojo, smoothed things over:

"Alright, alright, Green Ivy's talent is indeed extremely rare, everyone agrees on that."

But we shouldn't be too certain; who knows when the next genius will emerge?

"Next?"

Iron Hammer glanced at Yan Ning's name and shook his head. "That Yan Ning, his physical body is indeed strong, but that's about it."

Mo Yu stood up and said, "Alright, alright, arguing is useless. Time will tell."

......

Deep within the Immortal Realm.

A dilapidated ancient battlefield floats in the endless void.

Broken weapons, shattered ships, and the remains of fallen behemoths lay silent in the dim light.

This is where a certain immortal military lord once cultivated.

Although the owner has long since left.

However, the fragments of will and laws remaining in the secret realm are still enough to make it difficult for any genius below the Eternal Star level to make any progress.

Green Ivy sat cross-legged in the center of a dilapidated temple, surrounded by a faint green halo.

The pothos plant closed its eyes and breathed steadily.

But the mental energy within her body was surging at an unprecedented speed, like a silent tsunami, crashing against the bottleneck that had trapped her for months.

Wood Domain, Level 1.

She had actually mastered it for a long time.

The difference between the first and second levels of a domain may seem like just a number, but in reality, they represent a world of difference.

The first aspect is "touch".

The second aspect is "integration".

Green Ivy has been stuck at the peak of level one for two months now.

No matter how she cultivated, fought, or comprehended, that bottleneck remained unmoved.

until three days ago.

Green Ivy discovered a remnant of an enlightenment stone tablet deep within the secret realm.

It is engraved with fragments of an immortal military lord's understanding of the Law of Wood.

She absorbed the insights from the stone tablet little by little.

Those fragments were like puzzle pieces, filling in the gaps in her understanding, one by one.

then.

At a certain moment.

All the fragments lit up at the same time!

The pothos opened its eyes.

A green light was reflected in her pupils.

That was the peculiar natal vine that had been growing within her body for many years, coexisting with her since she was still an apprentice.

now.

The vines suddenly opened their "eyes".

That's a perception on a spiritual level.

It's not visual, but it's clearer than visual.

The vines sprouted from her collar, growing, splitting, and recombining wildly. In just a few breaths, they transformed from an inconspicuous green vine into the phantom of a towering tree!

In the illusory image.

Green light surged into the pothos's body like a tide, and then flowed out of it again, in an endless cycle.

"Domain...Dual!"

Green Ivy whispered those four words.

The voice just fell.

The entire Immortal Realm began to tremble violently.

Those remaining immortal wills, those shattered fragments of laws, and those energies that had slumbered for countless millennia, surged wildly into her domain.

A green beam of light shot into the sky from the temple, tearing apart the dome of the secret realm.

then.

The secret realm has shattered.

Countless fragments scattered in all directions.

The green ivy was pushed out of the secret realm by a gentle force and landed steadily in the void.

Behind.

That immortal secret realm, which had existed for countless millennia, transformed into specks of starlight and vanished completely.

"The secret realm's energy is depleted..."

Green Ivy glanced back and realized, "So I've absorbed everything left behind by that immortal military lord?"

"Lord Liu's single word of guidance and the gift of a secret realm have directly elevated my realm by a level. Is this the power of an immortal deity?"

"How powerful would it be above that?"

For the current situation of pothos plants...

Immortality is the absolute ceiling, an existence that is difficult to reach, while the strongest beings on the planet she was born on were only at the cosmic level!

After a brief sigh.

Green Ivy immediately brought up the virtual universe panel.

[Green Ivy, Planetary Level 9, Human, Female]

【Wood Domain, Part Two】

The message is transmitted via a data stream from the virtual universe.

It spread throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom within microseconds, and then spread even faster to the surrounding universe kingdoms and to the major forces in the human territory.

......

The capital of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

The Temple of the God of War.

An elderly man in a black robe stood before a huge star map. He lightly tapped his finger in the air, and Green Ivy's information appeared before him.

He looked at it once, then again, remained silent for a moment, and then turned to the servant behind him and said, "Go and check if this Green Ivy has joined any faction."

"Reporting back to you, sir, she has not yet joined any faction; she only holds a Level 1 Elite rating within the Virtual Universe Company."

"Level One Elite..."

The old man nodded slightly. "Planetary level nine, domain level two, this rating is too low. It should at least be the potential of a top-tier elite."

He paused, then said:

"Pass down the order: grant her the highest level of access to the Qianwu Dojo. If she is willing to come, she can choose any of the Dojo's immortal-level secret techniques and cosmic-level resources."

"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom fully supports his attempt to achieve immortality; even the titles of Marquis and King are negotiable!"

"My lord, isn't this... a bit too much..."

"What do you know?"

"A planetary-level ninth-tier domain at the second level—in the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, only a handful of such talents have emerged in the last few centuries. If we don't seize this opportunity, are we just waiting for someone else to snatch it up?"

......

Virtual Universe Company, Qianwu Branch.

In a conference room suspended in the starry sky, three senior executives are having a heated discussion.

"Domain Level Two! She's only nineteen! A nineteen-year-old at the ninth rank of the Planetary Realm, Domain Level Two—do you know what that means?"

"If she can grow up smoothly, it means that she will at least be immortal in the future, and may even have the potential to reach the threshold of becoming a cosmic being!"

"She's only a Tier 1 elite right now, that's not enough."

I suggest immediately promoting her to elite rank and simultaneously requesting headquarters to assign her an immortal mentor.

"Isn't it too fast? After all, she hasn't been tested in the Genius Battle yet."

"Genius Battle?"

That's used to filter out ordinary geniuses!

A prodigy like Green Ivy doesn't need a battle of geniuses to prove herself; what she needs now is resources and guidance!

"I second that. I'll submit the application to headquarters immediately."

......

Giant Axe Arena, Qianwu Branch.

Iron Hammer, a giant with bulging muscles and a height of over three meters, smashed the metal table in front of him with a single slap.

"Domain level two? That Green Ivy? Planetary level nine?"

"Yes...yes." Iron Hammer's voice was a few octaves lower than usual.

What rating did you give her before?

"Level 1... Level 1 elite."

"Level One Elite?"

"Level One Elite is awarded to the first level of the Domain! How did you determine the ranking?"

"She had only revealed the first level of her domain before; breaking through to the second level just happened..."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Send her an invitation immediately! A top-tier elite spot in the Giant Axe Arena—give it to her directly! Give her whatever she wants! Don't worry about the Virtual Universe Company contract!

"We, Giant Axe, will cover any contractual losses!"

Iron Hammer scrambled away.
