Swallowing the Stars: I Have a Primordial Dao Seed

Zhou Yuan sheathed his sword, not even glancing at the remaining contestants, nor pausing for a second, before taking to the air again and flying away into the distance to continue searching for traces of the alien race.

"He...he just left like that?" A survivor looked at Zhou Yuan's disappearing figure and said tremblingly, his voice still shaking slightly.

"What, you want revenge?" Another contestant next to him rolled his eyes, his face showing obvious fear. "Didn't you see that flash of light? The aftershock almost knocked me over. If he wanted to kill us, we'd be mincemeat by now!"

"How could I dare..." The contestant who asked the question quickly shook his head, a hint of relief on his face.

"That must be the Sword God," a contestant nearby said suddenly, watching Zhou Yuanyuan walk away.

"That's right, no wonder he's the God of Swords." The others echoed, their eyes filled with awe.

In the distant ruins, Zhou Yuan's figure had vanished. The remaining contestants exchanged bewildered glances, a wave of fear washing over them. They knew that in this brutal preliminary round, they absolutely could not provoke a powerful figure like Zhou Yuan, or their fate would be the same as those of the alien races.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan, who had killed tens of thousands of alien races, had risen to the number sixty-sixth place and first in the rankings.

……

Far away on Soka Star in the Gulfstream Galaxy of the Zichen Universe Kingdom, more than twenty Hengxing-level powerhouses were sitting around in a spacious hall, watching the live broadcast of the battle between the peak powerhouses on the virtual screen and discussing it enthusiastically.

"Could this Zhou Yuan be one of those people from our planet?" An elderly man with white hair, a star-level being, pointed at the number one player from world number sixty-six on the screen, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"What a coincidence. He's only a little over two thousand years old. Although he was talented back then, he wasn't that amazing." Another star-level elder shook his head, his tone tinged with disapproval.

"Not necessarily. Back then, he comprehended a domain at the Hengxing level, which was unique on our planet. By the way, Su Li, aren't you familiar with him? His family is still on this planet, right?" a young Hengxing-level expert said.

Su Li, a handsome and powerful Star-level expert, thought for a moment and said, "Our relationship is alright, but we haven't been in touch for a long time. After Zhou Yuan's parents died, he went out to make his way in the world. At that time, he was still a Star-level expert, and he asked me to take care of his nephews and nieces."

"How are his nephews and nieces doing?" the first old man asked.

"They died long ago. They didn't even break through to the Eternal Star level; their lifespan was only a thousand years. But their family is doing quite well now, with seven or eight Planetary Star level members," Su Li replied.

"Seven or eight planetary-level beings, not bad. Do you know anything about Zhou Yuan's current situation?" the old man continued to ask.

"The last time we contacted each other was over six hundred years ago. He said he was in the Cloud Rock Secret Realm and had already reached the ninth level of the Universe Realm. He also inquired about his family's situation. But it seems he hasn't paid much attention to his family," Su Li replied.

"Their family isn't actually that close to Zhou Yuan. They're not his nephews or nieces; they're from his great-uncle's lineage," Su Li added, explaining the relationship between Zhou Yuan and the Zhou family of Soka Star.

The powerful beings at the Eternal Star level in the hall nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with emotion. No one had imagined that the boy who left Soka Star back then would now have grown into a top-tier powerhouse at the cosmic level.

……

……

In a vast plain in the Sixty-Sixth World District, the ground was littered with the corpses of alien races, their blood staining the earth crimson. Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged on the roof of a ruined building, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing and recover his depleted primal energy.

"The body provided by the virtual universe is still too poor. If it were a real body, I wouldn't even need to recover," Zhou Yuan muttered disdainfully.

The elimination rounds have been going on for eleven days, and the strength of the alien races is doubling every day. Now, the alien races are equivalent to the Domain Lord level. Under the siege of a large number of alien races, even Zhou Yuan needs to consume a lot of his Origin Force to kill them, and his recovery speed cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.

After a while, Zhou Yuan's Force had recovered, and he looked down at the screen information on his left arm:

Contestant: Zhou Yuan (Zichen Universe Kingdom)

Points: 72384721

Ranking: 1

Remaining number of people: 1235

From the fifth day onwards, Zhou Yuan secured first place in the 66th World Region. Moreover, his points far surpassed those of the second-place finisher, and even the mentalists couldn't catch up with Zhou Yuan.

There are now only a little over a thousand people left, and Zhou Yuan predicts that the elimination rounds will end in a few days.

He recalled what happened on the ninth day, when the second-ranked mentalist challenged Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan used the Space Origin Law for the first time.

That mentalist was quite strong; he had already grasped the basics of the Space Origin Law and had a deep understanding of the Wood Origin Law. He was using a fifth-tier mental weapon, but unfortunately, he encountered Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan defeated the mentalist with three strikes of his Broken Mountain Blade, without even needing to use his two self-created secret techniques. From then on, no contestant dared to challenge Zhou Yuan again.

……

Two days ago, aboard a luxurious spaceship in World Zone One, Dream Marquis, looking at Zhou Yuan's latest intelligence, couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I underestimated Zhou Yuan. He's so proficient in the laws of space. He has the strength to take first place in the final battle."

Thinking of this, Marquis Meng Huan dared not delay and directly contacted the King of Zi Chen Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, we have discovered a genius who has a good chance of winning first place in the final battle. Here is his information." After connecting with the ruler of Zichen Kingdom, Marquis Dream quickly sent Zhou Yuan's information.

"Oh? You have the potential to be number one. Let me see." The voice of the King of Zichen came, tinged with curiosity. He opened the information and began to read it carefully.

"After spending so much time in the Cloud Rock Secret Realm, I'll go check the data." After saying this, the King of Zichen Kingdom left Marquis Meng Huan aside and began to retrieve Zhou Yuan's records in the Cloud Rock Secret Realm.

The Lord of Zichen Kingdom is a high-ranking official of the Virtual Universe Company and the ruler of the Zichen Universe Kingdom. He possesses considerable authority, making it easy for him to obtain information about the Zichen Universe Kingdom. He quickly discovered Zhou Yuan's whereabouts in the Yunyan Secret Realm.

When Zhou Yuan slew a World Lord-level ferocious beast in the Cloud Rock Secret Realm, nearly reached the fifth level of the Myriad Incarnations Secret Technique, and even created a record for a top-tier ordinary secret technique, even the King of Zi Chen was shocked. He hadn't seen many geniuses of this caliber.

"Phew, what a prodigy! He slew a world lord-level ferocious beast at the cosmic level, and his myriad incarnations are almost at the fifth level. Moreover, he even created a top-tier ordinary secret technique without any guidance." The King of Zichen took a deep breath, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"I need to keep an eye on things, make sure the aliens don't discover the assassination attempt."

Thinking of this, the King of Zichen Kingdom disappeared directly from the Zichen Secret Realm.
