Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Yan Ning was taken aback.

"similar?"

The cloud vines transmitted information intermittently.

It took Yan Ning more than ten minutes to piece together the general outline of the matter.

Long, long ago, on a distant plant planet, a powerful plant life form was born.

It cultivated to the peak of the Hengxing level, but it was never able to break through to a higher realm.

So it chose to wander the universe, seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough.

After countless years, it arrived on the Blue Star.

However, the environment of Azure Star was not suitable for its survival, its power began to decline, and its life gradually came to an end.

In its final moments, it condensed its remaining life essence into two things.

A seed, and a twig.

The seed is its core, carrying most of its memories and power.

The branches are its alter egos, responsible for guarding the seeds and waiting for the right successor.

But the long years eroded its consciousness.

When the branch awakens, it has forgotten most of its memories, leaving only the instinctive instinct to protect and devour.

It began to unconsciously absorb the life energy around it.

This caused the area around the spaceship to become a desolate wasteland, which also attracted the attention of the base city. The warriors whose life force was drained were harmed by the protective instinct of the branches.

"so…

"It's not some monster, just a dying plant life waiting for its successor?" Yan Ning murmured.

The Moyun Vine conveyed a sense of affirmation, then added, "It says that I... am the right successor."

"How is it passed down?"

The tendrils of the Moyun vine stretched out again, gently touching the surface of the seed.

The seed suddenly lit up.

A sudden burst of emerald green light illuminated the entire spherical space as if it were daytime.

A massive surge of life energy erupted from the seed, flowing wildly into its body along the tendrils of the Moyun Vine.

The vines of the Moyun vine grow, thicken, and become denser at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The sphere, the size of a washbasin, rapidly expanded to the size of a water tank.

On the dark green surface, the golden patterns became more numerous and denser, radiating a dazzling light.

Yan Ning was forced back several steps by the energy fluctuation and had to activate the Black God Suit to deflect the force.

"This...this energy..."

If the energy in that branch was a cup of water, then the energy in this seed is a lake.

The vine is absorbing nutrients, but the absorption rate is very slow.

The energy in the seed is too vast for it to consume in a short time.

Yan Ning could sense the will of the Mo Yun Teng.

It's saying, "That's enough, I can't eat anymore, it's going to spoil."

But the seeds don't seem to be stopping.

It continues to output energy, as if it wants to pass on all its legacy to this fellow being.

at last.

After the vine swelled to the size of a small car, the seed's luster began to dim.

The emerald green halo gradually faded, and the golden patterns gradually dimmed.

The seed's heartbeat slowed and weakened.

After its last thud, it fell silent.

A crack appeared on the surface of the seed.

Then came the second course, the third course…

The cracks became more numerous and denser, spreading throughout the seed like a spider web.

With a soft snap, the seed shattered into countless tiny fragments, transforming into a shower of emerald green light that drifted down slowly.

The light rain fell to the ground and vanished into nothingness.

It landed on the cloud-patterned vine and was absorbed by it.

When the force landed on Yan Ning, he felt a warm power seep into his body, as if nourishing his meridians and cells.

"This is…"

Yan Ning looked down at his hands and noticed a faint emerald green halo appearing on his skin before disappearing.

He felt an indescribable sense of comfort, as if every cell in his body was cheering.

The cloud vine floated quietly in the air, its size now stable at that of a small car.

It conveyed a thought, filled with deep sorrow: "It... is gone."

Yan Ning remained silent for a moment, then gently patted the vines of the Moyun Vine.

"It leaves hope to you; living well is the best way to pass on that hope."

"Once I achieve immortality and transcend the universe, I will be able to revive it regardless of the cost of the river of time."

Yan Ning can make empty promises without hesitation.

With the power of the system, it's not impossible for Moyun Vine to transcend the universe.

The tendrils of the Moyun Vine gently wrapped around his arm, as if in response.

afterwards.

Yan Ning searched carefully.

The fragments of the seed have vanished into nothingness.

But in the center of the fragment, he found a thumb-sized emerald green crystal.

The crystal is hexagonal, completely transparent, and has a faint emerald green glow flowing inside.

Holding it in my hand, I could feel a gentle and pure life energy, many times more concentrated than the energy of that twig.

The spirit of the Moyun Vine conveyed: "A thousand-year-old plant spirit... a good thing."

The spirit of plants and trees that have stood for a thousand years.

Yan Ning's pupils contracted slightly.

This is really a great thing.

It can be used not only for cultivation, but also for healing, breaking through bottlenecks, and even prolonging life. It also has a beneficial effect on mental power.

"nice one."

Yan Ning carefully put it away and placed it in the system space.

Then there were the three dead warriors and the dying female warrior.

Yan Ning checked the condition of the female warrior.

Although most of its vitality has been drained, it is not completely exhausted.

If left unchecked, she can only hold on for two or three more days at most.

"Never mind, I'll save a life."

Yan Ning carried her on his back and climbed up the way they had come.

He didn't abandon the three warriors who had already died.

Even though the person is dead, taking them back will at least give their family some closure.

By the time we left the spaceship ruins, it was already dark outside.

Yan Ning glanced back at the crack. The gray-black material around the crack was rapidly weathering, peeling off like a sand sculpture.

"it's over."

He took a deep breath and sped off towards the base city.

......

Nanjiang Base City, Council Hall.

Apart from the riot area, there were no major life-or-death events in Nanjiang Base City.

So the group did not leave.

I plan to plan out all the arrangements for the future at the same time.

Just as the sun was setting, news suddenly came through the communication system that Yan Ning had returned.

[Nanjiang Base City Councilor Yan Ning Returns]

"Hmm? It seems the investigation went smoothly. There shouldn't be any major problems, right?"

"It's only been less than a day, and he... how come he brought people back?"

"That's...that's the special operations team member who went missing before? Weren't they supposed to be wiped out? How come one of them is still alive?"

The news spread like wildfire throughout the council chamber.

Less than ten minutes.

All the councilors in the base city gathered around, and even the white-haired old man, Speaker Zhou Zhengyuan, came in person.

In the conference room.

Yan Ning sat at one end of the conference table.

"Councilor Yan Ning, please explain the situation." Zhou Zhengyuan's voice was steady, but his eyes betrayed his surprise.
