Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Lottery of All Things

Yun Qing restrained himself and said:

"The royal family of the Sirius Clan's demon race currently numbers only ten. Given our distance, if we rush there at full speed, we should be able to wipe them all out before they gather."

She exchanged glances with Zuo Yan, Ina, and the others.

Zuo Yan nodded. "Let's go."

Having said that, he appeared several kilometers away in an instant, as if by the wind.

Everyone was startled and quickly followed Zuo Yan.

The primeval jungle where the Vitality Squad and the Azure Sky Squad are located covers an extremely large area.

Even with Zuo Yan's mechanical insects probing, the nearest alien race was still hundreds of kilometers away.

In the forest, the thick, towering trees block out the sun.

Two small teams, a total of ten people, sped along among them.

Zuo Yan used a spatial illusion technique, leaving behind an illusion every few kilometers along the way.

His speed far surpasses that of the other nine people.

Yun Qing, a disciple of the Illusion Sword King, was extremely shocked upon seeing this.

"His understanding of the fundamental laws of space is truly astonishing!"

She trained under her teacher; what kind of genius hadn't she seen?

"Such mastery of spatial manipulation is even beyond the reach of a peak Realm Lord!"

Yun Qing abandoned her underestimation and began to focus all her efforts on catching up with the young man ahead.

"If you don't make it in time, I'll take care of those wolf cubs myself."

Zuo Yan glanced back and spoke.

"It's alright, you can kill them all first, then we'll head straight for that group of demons to the north."

Seeing that everyone behind him agreed, Zuo Yan then broke away from the group.

In a flash, they arrived at a large tree.

Looking not far away, there was a group of ten demons with wolf heads and bodies, each a different color, led by a blue-furred celestial wolf.

Zuo Yan concealed his aura with his powerful spiritual energy and was not detected.

"His Highness the Thirteenth Prince won first place in the three-clan competition this time; the elder will definitely value him highly!"

"Yes, if His Highness hadn't been born so late, he would have received the elders' resources to nurture him much earlier."

The wolf demons, while traveling, did not forget to flatter the blue-haired celestial wolf who was their leader.

Blue-haired Sirius is also proud and arrogant.

"Hmph, my talent is among the best in my lineage. If my older brothers hadn't been born tens of thousands of years earlier, I would have broken through to immortality long ago if I had their resources."

"Then why use it to participate in the three-race competition and seek cultivation resources?"

Beside him, a wolf with flamboyant green fur, resembling a strategist, immediately flattered him.

"Your Highness, rest assured. According to the intelligence I have, among the three races, the human race is the weakest, and the machine race is not a threat either."

"First place will definitely go to His Highness!"

Blue-haired Sirius was in a great mood upon hearing this.

but……

An incongruous sound arose, seemingly omnipresent.

"Yeah!"

Sirius, who was in the lead, only saw a fleeting golden light and then... was a little confused!

"Um?"

Sirius, known as the Thirteenth Prince, saw his headless body reflected in his eyes as his last vestiges of consciousness began to fade.

Blood splattered, drenching the face of the green-haired strategist Tianlang beside him, revealing the lingering fawning smile on his face.

"Ah! Who?"

Before he could finish speaking, he followed his master and passed away peacefully.

Golden light shone brightly in the jungle, and the ten wolves were all decapitated with a single slash.

Zuo Yan stored the ten celestial wolf corpses into his spatial ring and then used the system to absorb them as system currency.

[Absorbed a ninth-tier cosmic-level Sirius, gained 90 copper coins!]

……

[Absorbed a ninth-tier cosmic-level Sirius, gained 90 copper coins!]

[The host currently possesses 762357 copper coins!]

Zuo Yan spent another 10000 copper coins to buy a thousand mechanical insect probe puppets and dispersed them all.

He then headed towards his teammates.

……

In a hidden space above the battlefield of the three races' military competition.

A hearty laugh rang out.

"Hey Huoyao, is your Sirius clan's talent for bragging hereditary?"

"Those little wolf cubs have no skills, but they love to brag just like you."

On a large chair, a burly, rugged-looking middle-aged man looked at a giant wolf with fiery red fur not far away and spoke disdainfully.

"snort!"

Venerable Huoyao snorted coldly, but did not refute the other party, because the person who spoke was very powerful and extremely close to the overlord of the universe. He had almost not survived from the hands of the other party before.

"Hahaha, you coward, just like when you opened up the battlefield of the Hundred Spirits Clan."

The Star Dream Venerable, whose entire body resembled a dreamlike starlight, laughed loudly.

Venerable Star Dream, the first ancestor of the Star Dream Clan, possessed strength approaching that of a cosmic overlord. He had made outstanding contributions to the human race and led his clan to establish a cosmic kingdom on his own.

Now guarding the ninth outer battlefield of the human race.

"You two should be more polite; it's just a bunch of juniors fooling around!"

Another Cosmic Venerable from the Machine Race, the Golden Titanium Venerable, whose entire body was golden, began to mediate the fight in a very old voice.

Star Dream Venerable lost interest and stopped teasing Little Red across from him.

He looked at Zuo Yan, who had just killed several wolf cubs in the competition battlefield and appeared very clean and efficient.

He also spoke fluently with several of the younger members of the Star Dream Clan.

He smiled and realized that Zuo Yan's talent for the laws was even stronger than that of many geniuses he had encountered in the Primal Secret Realm.

Venerable Star Dream thought to himself, "Such a genius should join my Virtual Universe Company!"

……

[Military Competition Among Three Races: Ranking by Points!]

[1st Place: Li Tian; Points: 289; Race: Demon]

[2rd Place: Golden Claw; Points: 203; Race: Demon]

[3th Place: Yan Shan; Points: 183; Race: Machine]

……

[91nd Place: Zuo Yan; Points: 69; Race: Human]

……

[Rank 218: Yun Qing; Points: 39; Race: Human]

……

"Searching for alien races like this is too inefficient."

"If you ask me, we should just find the top 1,000 ranked players, kill them, and we'll get more points."

Yun Qing looked at her name on the list after the top 100.

Zuo Yan nodded upon hearing this, then shook his head and said:

"Now that less than three days have passed, many people don't have many points left, so we might as well just select the top ten."

"Among the top ten, there is only one human."

Upon hearing Zuo Yan's even more outrageous suggestion, Yun Qing hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Seeing that the two strongest members of both teams had confirmed their plans, the others in both teams didn't say anything.

After all, it's already quite good that they can at least have a sip of soup.

"Among the top ten, five are from the demon race and four are from the mechanical race."

"But each of the mechanical race members has many mechanical puppets on them. They are good at human wave tactics, so we'd better hunt down the demon race first."

Ina, who was standing to the side, offered her opinion.

As the third strongest member of both teams, she is currently ranked over 300th and has a good chance of entering the top 100.

After all, less than three days have passed since the start of the competition.
