Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 363 The Greatest Power in the Universe

Under the guidance of this Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan, Yang Wu felt a blur before his eyes and was instantly transported to a place several light-years away, directly arriving near the surging, colorful, dreamlike river.

Upon closer inspection, Yang Wu realized that the surging river was not a real river, but rather composed of countless auroras of five colors. Each aurora was incredibly thick, and its vast and surging power spread out, causing one's heart to tremble involuntarily.

"This must be one of the most powerful treasures in the Ancestral God Sect—the 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake'!" Yang Wu's eyes lit up as he exclaimed in admiration.

As one of the very few supreme treasures in the primordial universe, how could Yang Wu not have known about the "Five-Colored Aurora Lake"?

Although it appears to be just a river when viewed from a distance, if you look down from a great height, you will find that it is an almost circular, endless lake with a maximum diameter of ten light-years. In fact, it is a supreme treasure of the domain, with immeasurable value.

Supreme treasures are extremely rare in the primordial universe. Even the human race, now known as one of the six most powerful races, does not possess a single supreme treasure.

Of course, when the Primordial Ancestor roamed the cosmic sea, the human race did obtain some of the most powerful treasures. However, after the Primordial Ancestor failed to possess the original universe, they were suppressed along with the Primordial Ancestor!

As for the Ancestral God Cult, as the representative of the primordial will of the universe in the original universe, it naturally has no shortage of supreme treasures.

Not to mention the infinitely powerful 'Five-Colored Aurora Lake,' and the supremely powerful and precious palace 'Ancestral God Altar,' all of which are among the most precious treasures in the universe.

"You do have some knowledge!" The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan glanced at Yang Wu and said with great pride, "That's right, this is the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a supreme treasure protecting our Ancestral God Sect!"

"This Five-Colored Aurora Lake is composed of endless aurora, possessing boundless power! Any single aurora, once unleashed, is enough to severely injure a Universe Venerable."

"With this supreme protective treasure, even a universe lord capable of traversing the cosmos would not dare to trespass into my Ancestral God Cult. No matter how powerful a successor, if they dare to violate the rules, they will be killed instantly!"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed towards the interior of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and continued, "See that? Purple Thorn Island is right there."

Yang Wu looked in the direction the other person was pointing.

In the distance, an island could be vaguely seen, though it appeared somewhat indistinct under the endless aurora.

"Purple Thorn Island is located on the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, and it is where you inheritors of the Path of the Beast God usually reside!"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan looked at Yang Wu and continued, "Human, you must remember that killing is forbidden within the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. Once you attack someone, you will immediately be attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. If you have a soul servant, he can only move around in the palace you built on Purple Thorn Island. Once he goes out, he will also be instantly attacked by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake and directly annihilated into nothingness."

"Of course, it doesn't matter much for some low-intelligence, subordinate plant or metal life forms."

"Since you possess the Beast God's Inheritance Token, you will be recognized by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, this supreme treasure. As long as you do not violate the rules of my Ancestral God Sect, you will naturally not be harmed by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded earnestly.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to come to the Ancestral God Sect.

After all, even within the human realm, apart from the initial universe and the small universe of the strongest being with the giant axe, there really isn't anywhere safer than here.

"Alright, follow me!" The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan nodded and then flew directly into the Five-Colored Aurora Lake.

Yang Wu quickly followed.

The moment he touched it, the infinitely powerful multicolored aurora seemed like a gentle stream of water, posing no threat whatsoever, and even giving Yang Wu a sense of comfort.

As they continued forward, the faintly visible Bauhinia Island became increasingly clear.

……

Although Zijing Island is just an island, its diameter reaches millions of kilometers, and no aurora borealis approaches within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers around it.

call out!call out!

Two streaks of light flew into Zijing Island one after the other; they were Yang Wu and the Universe Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan.

As Yang Wu and his companion walked on Zijing Island, they saw palaces scattered across the land and mountains, each with a distinct style. Yang Wu could also clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from many of these palaces.

Because the Beast God Inheritance Tokens within the Ancestral God Sect are scattered throughout the primordial universe, even powerful individuals from weaker races will be protected by the Ancestral God Sect as long as they bring the Beast God Inheritance Tokens here.

Therefore, the myriad species in the vast universe, including strange life forms such as metal, plant, rock, flesh, and energy, as well as some even rarer special life forms, are not uncommon on this Purple Thorn Island.

"Look," the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed to the sky.

"Hmm?" Yang Wu looked up and saw that the sky was now filled with rings of light and shadow covering the entire Zijing Island. The rings of light and shadow continued to expand, and after expanding to the edge, they automatically disappeared. Then, a new ring of light was born at the center of the ring.

Birth, annihilation.

It goes on and on, endlessly.

Each ring of light and shadow is composed of countless threads of laws, with the two superior laws of time and space, as well as eight other inferior laws, completely mixed within. There are even many incredibly mysterious and complex threads of fusion laws intertwined with each other, giving each ring of light a sense of perfection.

The ever-changing, illusory halo seemed to reveal all the mysteries of the universe, and even Yang Wu was captivated by it.

"Humans, that is the outward manifestation of the laws governing the universe!" The Celestial Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with a slight smile, "I've heard that your human race's primordial universe also possessed such effects, but certainly not as powerful as my Ancestral God Cult!"

"After all, my Ancestral God Sect is the number one power in the entire primordial universe. With the maintenance of the laws governing the universe as its core, it will naturally be protected by those laws!"

"Our Ancestral God Sect's Mystic Realm possesses the largest number of special life forms in the universe, as well as all sorts of special treasures... Even the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a supreme treasure, was bestowed upon our Ancestral God Sect by the laws of the universe."

The Celestial Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan exclaimed with pride, "Everything our Ancestral God Sect does is in accordance with the laws of the universe. Anything that goes against our Ancestral God Sect is a violation of the laws of the universe!"

"The Ancestral God Sect is indeed incredibly powerful!" Yang Wu exclaimed.

It must be said that with the laws of the universe as its backing, the Ancestral God Cult's strength is undoubtedly second to none in the primordial universe.

Before inheriting their positions, the eight great beast gods of the Ancestral God Sect generally possessed the combat power of a first or second-tier Universe Lord. However, after truly inheriting their positions, they were able to directly possess the combat power of a fifth-tier Universe Lord, making them comparable to the Chaos City Lord among the human race.

Of course, once one inherits the throne, it becomes extremely difficult to advance further.

"However, even if the Ancestral God Sect is powerful, it still couldn't protect the eight innate beast gods, right?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

Just like the eight naturally born beast gods, who are born as cosmic masters with fifth-order combat power, how powerful are they?

However, when other powerful beings appeared in the universe one after another, they were hunted down by countless powerful beings because their scales, armor, and flesh were all treasures.

Even the Ancestral God Cult, the most powerful force in the universe, could not protect any of the Beast Gods.

The throne can only be inherited by other powerful beings after the fall of the Beast God.

Hearing Yang Wu's praise, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan was quite satisfied and continued, "Human, after you have stayed on this Purple Thorn Island for hundreds of millions of years, you will understand even more that joining my Ancestral God Sect is the most important opportunity of your life!"

"The most important opportunity?" Yang Wu shook his head slightly in his heart.

Not to mention the time simulator in my mind, or the god-king-level teacher, Sitting Mountain Guest, even the original ancestors of the human race, and the vast and boundless cosmic sea outside the original universe, which opportunity is not much greater than that within the Ancestral God Sect?

However, given the perspective of this Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan, he should not have yet come into contact with the secrets of the Cosmic Sea.

He was merely fulfilling his duty as a guide, informing the new inheritor of some basic information.

"On Purple Thorn Island, apart from the island lord, everyone else is a successor of the Beast God! As for the number of successors, it has been countless since the birth of the universe."

"Perhaps your human race has only had a few hundred inheritors throughout history, but the Beast God Inheritance Orders bestowed by the Ancestral God Cult are scattered throughout the universe. The number of life forms in the entire universe is definitely hundreds of millions of times greater than that of your human race."

"However, most of the inheritors have already perished in the long river of time. Although the great cosmic lord can use means to reverse time and resurrect, once the Beast God Inheritance Token is recognized by the Ancestral God Sect, it is already linked to the life of the inheritor. When the inheritor perishes, the Beast God Inheritance Token will naturally shatter as well."

"Even if the Lord of the Universe possesses incredibly powerful methods, he wouldn't be willing to pay the price to revive a Beast God's Legacy Token!"

Therefore, there are only a little over one hundred million Beast God inheritors remaining on Purple Thorn Island today!

It was through continuous introductions.

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan led Yang Wu to the foot of a towering mountain range and said, "Alright, the environment here is quite nice. You may build your palace here!"

"However... on this Purple Thorn Island, the palaces of all inheritors can only occupy a maximum area of ​​one kilometer in length and width; no one is an exception. Even those colossal star beasts and special life forms with incredibly large divine bodies can only shrink their divine bodies to reside within them!"

"Once the palaces and residences of each inheritor on Bauhinia Island are completed, they belong to their own private territory. Other powerful individuals are prohibited from trespassing unless they are led or given permission by the owner."

"With the protection of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the palace is absolutely safe. You can leave a divine token in the palace, and then you can travel back and forth here directly through the divine kingdom."

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded and said.

"Alright, let's put the palace matter aside for now. I'll take you to see the island lord first!"

After speaking, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan continued to lead Yang Wu to the highest mountain range on the entire Zijing Island.

There is only one magnificent palace on the mountain range, covering an area of ​​over a thousand square kilometers. That is the palace of the island lord of Zijing Island.

The magnificent palace is decorated with numerous carvings, mainly eight of which depict the images of eight primordial beast gods.

"The island lord of Zijing Island is the guardian beast god. Every new inheritor must come to pay homage to him in order to be granted authority."

The venerable elder of the Fei Cang tribe pointed to the magnificent palace and introduced it.

"Guardian Beast Gods? I wonder if the eight positions are full yet?" Yang Wu wondered to himself.

"Look up," the Venerable of the Fei Cang clan said, pointing to the sky.

Yang Wu looked up.

Looking up from this position, you can see a gap in the colorful aurora lake.

Along this crevice, one can actually see the core depths shrouded by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, where there is an incomparably dazzling and enormous palace. Around that palace, which radiates endless light, are eight slightly smaller palaces floating in the air.

"Bauhinia Island can only be considered the outermost area of ​​the Ancestral God Sect; that is the true core of our Ancestral God Sect!"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with some envy, "That most magnificent palace is the Ancestral God Palace! Our Ancestral God Sect has three Ancestral Gods, and usually at least one of them sits in the core area!"

"Outside the Ancestral God Palace lies the Eight Directions Beast God Palace, where only the eight Beast Gods who have inherited their positions of supreme authority may reside!"

"As for the more than ten subsidiary halls surrounding the Eight Directions Beast God Hall, they are the Guardian Beast God Halls."

"Guardian Beast Gods refer to super beings who have obtained the complete inheritance of the Beast God and have cultivated to the level of the Lord of the Universe. Some of them cannot inherit the position because of the existence of the current Beast God, while others do not want to inherit the position themselves, but they are still great Lords of the Universe, so they are also revered as 'Guardian Beast Gods' by our Ancestral God Sect."

"The 72 continents outside the Temple of the Guardian Beast God are the continents of the Divine Generals, which are the residences of the Guardian Divine Generals who have inherited the venerable positions. The area of ​​each Divine General Continent is no less than that of the Purple Thorn Island."

"As for the countless stars in the sky, those are the three thousand worlds of divine envoys, each star corresponding to a guardian divine envoy!"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang tribe continued to explain.

"Besides these core strongholds, numerous islands are scattered throughout the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. These scattered islands are inhabited by peripheral members of the Ancestral God Sect!"

The so-called peripheral members of the Ancestral God Cult refer to some candidate divine messengers, candidate divine generals, and powerful beast god cultivators.

Candidate Divine Messengers and Candidate Divine Generals refer to super beings who can receive the complete inheritance of all Divine Messengers and Divine Generals.

In terms of divine inheritance, once a powerful individual obtains the complete inheritance, the entire inheritance site will collapse.

The Ancestral God Sect paid such a high price, and its inheritors also gained a great deal of benefits, so naturally they should also pay some compensation.

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan before us is a candidate for Divine General!

As for powerful Beast God cultivators, they refer to super beings who have cultivated the Beast God inheritance to an extremely high level, at least having fully received the fifth level of inheritance.

Of course, the Ancestral God Cult is arguably the freest force in the entire primordial universe, and even peripheral members do not face many constraints.

On Zijing Island, among the hundreds of millions of inheritors, most want to become peripheral members, but unfortunately, they simply don't have the qualifications.

……

"Alright, everything that needed to be explained has been explained. My mission is now complete. You can go directly to the island lord's palace!"

Before leaving, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan reminded him, "Although Zijing Island is safe, the proportion of Beast God inheritors who perish is still quite high. I hope you can live a little longer! If you unfortunately perish, even if you are resurrected by your clan after a long period of time, you will never be able to come to Zijing Island again."

"Thank you for the reminder, Venerable One." Although Yang Wu did not believe that he, who possessed the time simulator, would perish, he still quickly expressed his gratitude.

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan smiled slightly, then broke through the air and flew into the five-colored aurora, disappearing without a trace.

Yang Wu, on the other hand, headed directly towards the majestic palace high up.
