Swallowing the Stars: The System Bound the Wrong Person at the Start

The next day, in the backyard of the Pangu Temple, a quiet boudoir was filled with a faint fragrance.

Chen Yang carefully lifted the jade-like arm that was draped over his waist and tiptoed off the couch. Recalling how He Xi had stared at him with her arms crossed, a half-smile on her face, as if she were looking at a pervert, when he sneaked into her room like a thief last night, he felt a wave of helplessness. Why was this woman so mischievous? Couldn't she just pretend to be asleep and save him some face?

He chuckled softly to himself, but when his gaze returned to the peerless face sleeping soundly on the bed, a gentle smile involuntarily curved his lips. Their past life had been fleeting, but in this life they had been bound together for decades; how could he not develop feelings for her?

It was just an involuntary reaction, definitely not because of lust.

Chen Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the chaotic and alluring thoughts in his mind, and quietly left the cozy room. However, just as the door closed, the stunningly beautiful figure on the bed quietly opened her icy blue eyes. Her gaze swept over the direction where the door had disappeared, a playful smile appearing on her lips, before she closed her eyes again, satisfied, and drifted peacefully into sleep.

I was indeed quite tired last night.

……

As soon as Chen Yang stepped out of He Xi's boudoir, a familiar communication message popped up in his mind.

"Nuwa, what is it?" Chen Yang's tone was gentle, with a lingering hint of lightness in his voice.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, Nuwa's virtual projection coalesced before him. She wore an exquisite blue and white palace dress, surrounded by a soft, pale golden light that was imperceptible to others. That was the primordial aura of the Great Dao of Creation, unique to the Chaotic World of Godhood—not to mention ordinary cosmic lords, even the strongest beings of the Origin Continent, and even the Primordial Beings, had never seen such transcendent power.

She lowered her head slightly, her tone respectful and gentle: "Pangu, I have completely mastered several supreme treasures, and the secret techniques have been deduced to the ninth level. This time, I plan to first go to the Cosmic Ship to place the Cosmic Disc, and use the power of the 'Heavenly Book' to explore the Rhinoceros Emperor's Bureau, so as to enhance the foundation of my Pangu clan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. He lightly swiped his finger in the air, bringing up the monitoring star field of the Heavenly Book. In an instant, a dense stream of data transformed into a floating virtual star map, unfolding before him.

"The Cosmic Sea has been quite turbulent lately." Chen Yang's gaze fell on a dark corner of the star map. "The Lord of An Yong of the Divine Eye Clan, along with three fourth-order Cosmic Lords, has been lurking here for three hundred years, specifically targeting lone outsiders to ambush and plunder their treasures. Even many subordinate forces of True God-level powers have fallen into their hands."

He paused, his fingertip tracing a perfect arc on the star map, avoiding all sensory nodes: "I'll have the 'Heavenly Book' open a secret jump portal for you, directly bypassing their area. There's no need to waste time with these small fry."

Nuwa shook her head slightly upon hearing this. A faint light flickered in her sleeve, and the phantom images of five supreme treasures, each with a different aura, flickered around her: "Pangu, there's no need to worry. I have already completely refined the Nuwa Palace, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and other supreme treasures, and my primordial spirit is deeply bound to the chaotic origin of this world. These people cannot harm me in the slightest."

She paused, her tone tinged with indifference: "This is a good opportunity to test our strength and let those old powers that have been entrenched in the Cosmic Sea for billions of years weigh the strength of my Pangu Clan."

Chen Yang nodded and smiled slightly: "Since you have made your decision, then go. Although I am the chief of the Pangu clan, you are still free. I am just a protector, not a ruler."

Nuwa bowed deeply, her tone grateful: "Thank you, Pangu, for accepting my clan as part of your lineage, allowing our descendants to enjoy peace and happiness. Nuwa will depart immediately."

As the words fell, the projection slowly faded away.

Within the seventh heaven, Nuwa Heaven, a figure enveloped in a soft, pale golden light stepped out of the nine heavens and ten earths. She descended back to the outer layer of the primordial universe through the passage between the two realms, and with a gentle lift of her hand, tore open a spatial rift, leaving the primordial universe and leaping towards the cosmic sea.

Nuwa possesses one-millionth of the computational power of the "Heavenly Book." With this terrifying computational power, any potential threat to her life is pre-marked. Unlike when she commanded the Zerg, she no longer needs to meticulously spread her divine sense across every inch of the cosmic sea to screen for risks and slowly advance. She can simply use the absolutely safe coordinates calculated in real-time by the Heavenly Book to teleport continuously, making her travel speed far exceed that of ordinary universe lords.

In just a few dozen hours, she had already stepped into the desolate star field on the outer edge of the spaceship.

……

Outside the spaceship, in the desolate cosmic sea.

The Lord of Eternity was lurking in the shadows of the Eternal Palace, toying with a world ring he had just plundered from the Lord of the Lone Universe, happily counting the mountain of rare materials piled up inside.

Suddenly, he sensed something and accurately detected an unfamiliar presence entering his territory.

The Lord of An Yong abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly filled with undisguised greed: "A strange female Universe Lord? I've been staking out the Cosmic Sea for so many years, and I've never seen such a face before. Her aura is completely unheard of. She must be someone who has emerged from an ancient lineage that has been hidden for countless epochs, and she must be carrying some top-tier treasure hidden away!"

"Stop her! Leave her alive for a soul search; I want to see what secrets she's hiding!"

At a single command, the three fourth-tier universe lords of the Divine Eye Clan instantly erupted. An overwhelming pressure of their domains swept out like a tsunami, and the three's power of law twisted into a knot. Together, they activated their respective supreme treasures, directly sealing off all dimensions of space around Nuwa.

There wasn't a single gap in the teleportation; the surrounding void was locked by layers upon layers of domains, and even the resonance of the universe's origin was completely severed.

The leading cosmic lord grinned maliciously, raising his chillingly sharp battle blade. The spatial laws coiling around the blade nearly tore the void apart: "Hand over all your treasures obediently, and we might spare your complete divine body, lest you meet a fate of utter annihilation!"

However, even at the center of the all-encompassing seal, Nuwa's blue and white dress remained completely untouched by the wind.

She didn't even use the ninth-tier attack technique she had just comprehended; instead, she raised her slender hand and gently unfolded the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," a supreme treasure of the True God class that was used for sealing.

In an instant, the desolate land stretching for billions of miles was transformed into a secluded world of green mountains and clear waters. The three cosmic lords at the forefront felt the scene before them change abruptly, their divine bodies and laws pinned to the spot by an inexplicable force, making it impossible for them to even muster a trace of divine power.

"What kind of supreme treasure is this?! This power... is not even a known higher law like space or time!"

The cosmic lord who wielded the knife was terrified. He had lived for nearly three reincarnation eras and had searched through all the ancient texts passed down from the first reincarnation era of the Divine Eye Clan, but he had never seen such a bizarre method that could directly bring an entire cosmic sea into the painting out of thin air.

The three of them tried their best to detonate their divine bodies and break free from their restraints, but under the sealing power of the Mountain and River Map, the moment the thought of self-destruction appeared in their minds, it was directly suppressed by a gentle yet irresistible force, leaving no trace.

Upon seeing this scene, the Lord of An Yong, who was in the distance, instantly lost all the languor that had lingered on his face for millions of years.

Without a second thought, he activated his trump card, the "Ice Sand Sea," a domain-type treasure. Countless ice blades, powerful enough to sever the bodies of true gods, swept towards Nuwa, while the golden scepter at his fingertips shone with a blinding light, attempting to tear open space and call for help from the seven true gods of the Divine Eye Clan.

Nuwa simply raised her hand and took out the "Lotus Lantern".

She gently flicked the wick of the lamp, and a soft, warm light instantly spread across the entire battlefield. Those ice blades, powerful enough to tear apart the body of a cosmic lord, melted away in the warm light, like snow meeting the sun, turning into a misty spray. Even the icy sea of ​​sand he had spread out was constantly shrinking inwards under the light of the Lotus Lantern, unable to get close to Nuwa.

"Impossible! Who are you?!"

Lord An Yong had never been so panicked in his life. He could clearly sense the oppressive aura emanating from the treasures surrounding Nuwa. Each of them far surpassed the peak treasures in his hands, and was even more terrifying than the aura of the supreme treasure "Eternal Palace" that he had seen in his clan's territory!

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled towards the spaceship, hoping to use the complex terrain inside to shake off this terrifying being of unknown origin.

Nuwa merely flashed a faint light between her brows and used her mental power to activate the "Five-Colored Stone," a true god-level mental weapon.

With a flick of the fingertip, the five-colored, flowing light pebble, originally only the size of a palm, suddenly exploded, splitting into 10,081 five-colored stars, each with a diameter of over 10,000 kilometers. Mysterious runes flowed across the surface of each star, carrying an immense pressure that swept across the path of the Lord of An Yong's escape.

Under the precise control of his mental power, countless five-colored stars blocked all his escape routes, and even the spatial rifts were completely sealed off by the gravitational field of the stars. Lord An Yong had no room to dodge at all, and was slammed hard into the back by the dozen or so five-colored stars in the front row.

"puff--"

Before he could even utter a scream, most of the Lord of An Yong's divine body was crushed to pieces by the dense impact of the stars. His entire divine body swayed precariously, and even standing in the void became a luxury. The golden scepter he was holding flew out of his hand and was summoned back to Nuwa's palm by telekinesis.

Before he could continue struggling with his broken body, Nuwa moved her fingertips slightly, and a "red embroidered ball" gleaming with soft light was already suspended above his head.

A soft, pale red light slowly descended, and all the soul techniques and spatial escape methods he wanted to activate were frozen in his sea of ​​consciousness, leaving him no room to resist.

Nuwa did not take his life.

Since becoming a member of the Pangu Clan, her personality has changed considerably. Freed from the heavy burden of the entire Zerg race, and no longer needing to constantly calculate the future of her queen's clan, she has become much gentler. Of course, the influence of the Pangu Clan's bloodline at its core is undeniable.

The Pangu clan is extremely idealistic, and the concept of "love" seems to be etched into the deepest part of their blood. Pangu is the god among gods, loving all living beings; the Great Dao of Creation she comprehended is the origin of life. Now, she dislikes pointless killing and detests meaningless disputes.

So, she simply tossed the nearly unconscious Lord An Yong, along with the three Universe Lords who were still imprisoned in their own independent worlds by the Mountain and River Map, back to their stronghold.

"Go back and tell the seven true gods of the Divine Eye Clan and Nuwa of the Pangu Clan that they came to the Cosmic Ship only to place one thing there and had no intention of fighting with you."

Having done all this, Nuwa had a thought. The 10,081 five-colored stars that had been floating in the sky instantly gathered together, condensing back into the palm-sized, luminous pebble, and falling back into her sleeve.

The illusory image of the Nuwa Palace around her lit up slightly, and her figure calmly disappeared into the darkness that had slumbered for countless epochs through the ancient entrance of the spaceship.

The Lord of Anyong, who had been thrown back to the stronghold, lay paralyzed on the cold meteorite, staring in the direction where Nuwa had disappeared, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He had lived through nearly three lifetimes and seen countless psychic treasures, but he had never seen a terrifying weapon capable of splitting into tens of thousands of stars with diameters of tens of thousands of kilometers. He knew better than anyone else that the Divine Eye Clan had provoked a terrifying being that even seven True Gods working together might not be able to defeat with certainty.
