Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

Beidahuang Base City, Li Family Courtyard.

The alloy door to the seclusion room slowly opened.

A rich silvery halo poured out from the crack in the door.

Li Chongshan came out from inside.

Half of his hair had turned white, his once jet-black temples were now streaked with white, and his face looked much older than before he went into seclusion.

The silver halo surrounding him was the manifestation of his spiritual power materialized.

Planetary-level spiritual master!

The first planetary-level mentalist on Azure Star!

The first thing Li Chongshan did after leaving the pass was to go find Li Qingyue.

He had so much to say to his wife.

His reflections after the breakthrough, and about the murderer who killed their son.

But Li Qingyue was not there.

"Where is Madam?"

The servant lowered his head, his voice trembling: "Madam...Madam took people to the ruins seven days ago."

Li Chongshan's brows furrowed sharply, and the silver aura around him suddenly solidified, as if the temperature in the corridor had dropped several degrees.

"What relics?"

The servant dared not conceal the truth: "It is...it is the one deepest within the jurisdiction of the Great Northern Wilderness."

Number NG-001, that's the one we said before... before that even planetary-level beings would be in mortal danger if they forcibly entered.

Li Chongshan's face darkened completely.

NG-001...

What's hidden inside remains a mystery to this day, because no one who went in has ever come out alive.

Li Qingyue went to that kind of place.

"The lady said she had found a safe way."

The servant's voice trailed off, "She said she wouldn't disturb anything in the ruins, and before she left, she instructed you to inform me if you, sir, emerged from seclusion..."

Don't worry, we'll have news within a week.

"Don't worry?"

"She went to a place like that, and you're telling me not to worry?"

The servant knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Li Chongshan took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, knowing that getting angry now would be useless.

Li Qingyue has been gone for seven days. According to her, "within a week," there should be news by today or tomorrow at the latest.

Li Chongshan turned and walked to the window, looking south.

"Yan Ning".

He murmured the name, his eyes blazing with hatred. "If it weren't for you, Yifeng wouldn't have died, and Yueyue wouldn't have gone on her adventure in the ruins! It's all because of you!"

"You must die!"

......

Nanjiang Base City.

Members of Parliament's Villa District.

Yan Ning shared the good news of breaking through to the planetary level with the three women.

Compared to the joy of the breakthrough, the three women were actually more worried about Yan Ning's safety.

Shen Yao was coaxing Yan Xi to sleep when she heard the news. She paused for a moment, then continued to gently pat her daughter's back.

She didn't say anything to congratulate him, but simply looked up at Yan Ning, her eyes filled with tenderness and a hint of worry.

"Brother Ning."

"With great power comes great responsibility. We just want you to take good care of yourself."

Zhao Zixuan carried Yan Yang out of the inner room.

The little guy is already six months old, chubby and fair-skinned, and is currently chewing on his own fist.

Even planetary-level beings shouldn't act recklessly. Old Zhao just got his limbs back, and he's already getting restless again!

Su Wanqing's due date is this month.

She leaned back on the sofa, stroking her belly with a maternal glow, and said:

"I don't care where you go or what you do."

"But remember, you have a family behind you, four women, three children... well, soon there will be four."

Yan Ning walked over, sat down next to her, and gently put his arm around her shoulder.

"I know, so I'll be fine."

Su Wanqing nodded and said nothing more.

Just then.

Yan Ning's communication watch vibrated.

Encrypted message from the Azure Federation's War Preparedness Department.

[War God Palace Recruitment Order (Urgent)]

[To: Yan Ning, Director of Azure and Official Member of the War God Palace]

[An unusual herd of animals has been observed gathering on the outskirts of the Arctic Circle. Following deliberation by the Supreme Council of the Ares Palace, it has been decided to launch the first phase of "Operation Frozen"—a clearing operation around the Arctic Circle.]

[Objective: To weaken and reduce the number of Lord-class monsters around the Arctic region as much as possible, creating conditions for the subsequent all-out offensive.]

[Operation Duration: Three months from now, lasting ten days.]

[The conscription list is attached. All conscripts must report to the Arctic frontline command post by the designated time. Failure to do so will be considered desertion.]

Yan Ning frowned slightly after reading the message.

After opening the attachment.

The recruitment list was found to be very long.

Most of the War Gods are in the War God Palace, including himself, as well as Li Chongshan and Li Qingyue from the Beidahuang Base City.

Only a small number of wounded warriors were left to guard the major base cities.

Yan Ning murmured:

"The Arctic region, the lair of a newly ascended king-level monster?"

"What's wrong?"

Su Wanqing noticed his expression.

"Nothing much, just a federal conscription. I'll be going to the Arctic in three months to carry out a clearing mission."

The three women's expressions changed.

The Arctic region.

It is considered one of the most dangerous places on the Blue Star, covered in ice and snow all year round, with an extremely high density of monsters. Lord-level monsters are as numerous as hairs on a cow, and there are also quite a few king-level monsters.

Going to such a place to carry out a mission is a near-certain death.

"don’t worry."

"I am now a planetary level, and there are very few people on the entire planet Blue who can hurt me. Although the Arctic is dangerous, it is not dangerous enough to kill me."

The women were unaware of Yan Ning's true strength, so their worry was understandable.

They still thought their husbands were just "ordinary" planetary-level men.

No matter how talented or monstrous a person may be, compared to those veteran powerhouses, their own foundation is still not quite enough.

Also.

To avoid causing the three women too much worry, Yan Ning concealed some things from them.

Li Chongshan and Li Qingyue are on the list of recruits.

Breaking through to the planetary level actually presented Yan Ning with an opportunity—a chance to completely eliminate future troubles.

......

It was late at night.

Yan Ning sat alone in the study.

Thinking about the Arctic, a year later, it would be around the time Qin Xiuyue would give birth.

no doubt.

Yan Ning is very much looking forward to this.

Planetary level of genetic potential.

After being baptized by dragon blood, Yan Ning's genetic potential was also raised.

When the two are combined...

Will they give birth to offspring with the potential to become stars in the travel industry?

As for the clearing operations outside the Arctic Circle...

The mission lasts ten days and aims to reduce the number of Lord-level monsters.

The operation plan is divided into two steps.

Honghuang personally intervened to hold back the king-level monster deep in the Arctic region, ensuring it wouldn't interfere with the surrounding clearing operations.

Other war gods were assigned to specific areas to carry out the clearing and extermination, and to kill as many lord-level monsters as possible within ten days.

"Attack the perimeter first, then launch a full-scale attack."

"The first step is to weaken them, and the second step is a full-scale offensive a year later."

Even from just the tip of the iceberg of this conscription order, Yan Ning could sense just how brutal this siege must be.

King-level monster...

It exists at the planetary level, and not just any ordinary planetary level.

Those that could make the Primordial Emperor personally intervene and hold back must be at least at the third level of the Planetary Realm.

The aftershocks of a battle of that level are enough to kill an ordinary war god.

But for Yan Ning, it was also a suitable opportunity for real combat.

Double planetary rank.

The fact that both a martial artist and a mentalist have broken through to the planetary level is absolutely unprecedented on Blue Star.

Their actual combat strength is far more than just a planetary-level Tier 1 unit.

The Cloud Vine is a second-tier Planetary-level weapon, the Arc Blade Disc has unlocked its second form, and the Black God Set can deflect Planetary-level attacks.

Yan Ning pondered in his heart.

The Arctic region has an extremely high density of monsters, with lord-level monsters being as numerous as hairs on a cow.

Mo Yun Teng can eat his fill there, and his swordsmanship and mental power can be honed in actual combat!

More importantly, Li Chongshan and Li Qingyue will also be there.

In places like the Arctic, communication and visibility are limited, and each squad operates independently.

If someone dies "accidentally" during the operation, there is no way to investigate.

"Perfect."

Yan Ning's gaze deepened. "Let's seize this opportunity to completely eliminate any future troubles!"

"Li Chongshan, Li Qingyue."

"You want to kill me, and I want to kill you all. Let's see who dies before whom in three months!"
