Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 202 The Arrangements of the Chaos City Lord

In the virtual universe, in front of the Chaos City Lord's temple stands a round table that looks like it's carved from jade.

Two figures sat facing each other at the round table. One was the golden-robed Lord of Chaos City, and the other was a silver-haired man with graying temples, wearing ancient battle armor stained with blood. He was none other than the Ice Peak Lord of the Virtual Universe Company lineage.

"Whoosh!"

A young man dressed in dark gold armor appeared in front of the temple and walked towards them.

"Teacher, Uncle-Master!"

Zhou Yang called out from afar.

He had just emerged from the Sword Tomb when he received a summons from the Lord of Chaos City, so he immediately sent a clone of his consciousness to connect with the virtual universe and rush to this place.

"My disciple has arrived? Come and sit down."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and pointed, and a jade chair slowly appeared in front of the round table.

Even the usually aloof Lord of Ice Peak nodded to him, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his lips.

"Yes, teacher."

Zhou Yang responded and quickly walked to the jade-carved round table and sat down.

As his strength continued to improve, he no longer felt as reserved as before when sitting with the older generation of powerful figures such as the Lord of Chaos City.

The Lord of Chaos City looked at Zhou Yang, his eyes filled with undisguised satisfaction and joy.

"I've called you here because there are a few things I need to ask you."

The Lord of Chaos City smiled and said, "According to the intelligence from the Venerables of the Hong Alliance, you seemed to have just fought with that Yan Emperor?"

"We exchanged a few blows."

Zhou Yang laughed and said, "Teacher should have heard about the emergence of the Sword Tomb. I was originally competing with the Lord of Tianchen of the Thorn Ring Alliance for the ownership of the Sword Tomb, but who knew that the Flame Emperor would insist on interfering. So I taught him a little lesson."

"Did you teach him a lesson?"

The Lord of Chaos City and the Lord of Ice Peak exchanged a glance, their eyes both filled with smiles.

According to the intelligence they obtained, Zhou Yang's actions were indeed a lesson to be learned. Slapping a universe master across the face was arguably the cruelest form of punishment.

"Good lesson learned!"

The Lord of Ice Peaks spoke with a hint of satisfaction, "Such a vicious and selfish wretch deserves to be killed by every member of my human race. Zhou Yang, you did well!"

The usually aloof and taciturn Lord of Ice Peak surprisingly showed his emotions, indicating that he was in a rather good mood at the moment.

"Thank you for your praise, Uncle-Master. It's just our duty."

Zhou Yang responded with a smile.

"Haha, my disciple, it's not easy to earn a praise from your master. You did a really good job this time!"

The Lord of Chaos City also spoke up, "Now that your authority has been elevated, you should know about the entanglement between that Yan Emperor and our human race. You embarrassed him this time, which can be considered as venting our human race's anger. You deserve a great merit!"

He looked at Zhou Yang and asked with a smile, "I've already spoken with the others. Based on your merits this time, you can be rewarded with a top-tier weapon or a sum of treasure points. Is there anything you'd like?"

"Oh, there's a reward?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile.

"Teacher, please forgo the treasure reward. I have no shortage of weapons and treasures for the time being."

He thought for a moment and then said, "However, I was fortunate enough to obtain the treasures of the Sword Tomb this time. Among them is a top-level domain treasure called 'Sword River Luo'. However, this treasure is currently incomplete and is still missing eight parts of the divine sword."

He looked at the Lord of Chaos City and said respectfully, "I would like to ask my teacher to pass on the message to the Venerables of the Hong Alliance to keep an eye out. If anyone can provide information, I will reward them with a valuable treasure. If anyone obtains the Divine Sword, I am willing to exchange it with a treasure of equal value."

He had just finished looting all the treasures in the Sword Tomb on the Primordial Star, and his haul was quite substantial.

This includes 7 common treasures and over 300 powerful divine swords!

However, the 'Sword River Luo' that he was most concerned about only had one divine sword part attached to it, apart from the compass itself. The other eight divine swords did not appear in the sword tomb.

Without the other eight divine swords, the current Sword River Luo Wei is only equivalent to a high-level class treasure, far from its peak state.

"Hehe, your luck is truly extraordinary, you've actually stumbled upon a top-tier domain-level treasure. Leave this matter to me."

Upon hearing this, the Chaos City Lord laughed, "You don't need to provide the treasure yourself. The clan will keep an eye out for information on the other divine swords. If a divine sword appears or is obtained by another powerful individual, the clan will step in to exchange it back. A top-tier domain treasure is already extremely valuable. If you can collect them all, it will indirectly enhance the clan's strength."

Zhou Yang's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He didn't stand on ceremony; with the help of the entire human race, it would be much easier than if he collected the materials by himself.

"Thank you, teacher."

He expressed his gratitude to the Lord of Chaos City.

"Um."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, but then brought up another matter.

"Based on the reactions of those venerable ones, it seems you used some kind of teleportation technique on the primordial planet?"

"Yes, teacher, that is indeed the case."

Zhou Yang nodded in agreement.

"Oh, is it a secret talent technique or something? Are there any restrictions?"

The Lord of Chaos City couldn't help but ask in surprise.

As the place closest to the origin of the primordial universe, the primordial star has a stable space that is almost completely still, making it impossible to use teleportation or other similar techniques.

Even if there are occasional innate secret techniques similar to 'domain' that can break through this limitation, they can only achieve limited teleportation.

According to the intelligence he received, Zhou Yang's performance was not limited to that.

Upon hearing the Chaos City Lord's question, Zhou Yang laughed nonchalantly and said, "I suppose it's a kind of innate secret technique."

The universe is vast and boundless, with countless wondrous techniques and talents, so he wasn't worried that the Lord of Chaos City would have any doubts.

"Teacher, do you have any plans for the Primordial Star? This disciple is ready to cooperate at any time."

He thought the city lord of Chaos City would use this skill of his to make some kind of scheme on the Primordial Star.

"Everything should remain as normal on the original planet."

However, the Lord of Chaos City shook his head and said, "Every time the Primordial Star opens, it is actually a gift from the Primordial Universe to billions of races in the universe. Even if you can teleport on the Primordial Star, it is impossible to take all the opportunities with the human race's strongmen. The will of the Primordial Universe will not allow such a thing to happen."

The Lord of Chaos City solemnly instructed, "You yourself must act within your capabilities and not go too far, otherwise you will easily offend all the powerful and become the target of everyone's criticism."

"Is that so? The primordial will of the universe would intervene in such matters."

Zhou Yang was slightly taken aback.

He nodded and respectfully replied, "Yes, teacher, I understand."

"Well, just be careful not to go too far. I was talking about something else."

He smiled at Zhou Yang, his eyes full of satisfaction. "I originally thought I would let you train more in the primordial universe, but you have now shown combat power comparable to a top-tier third-order universe master, and you also possess that amazing teleportation technique. I suppose you can protect yourself in the cosmic sea."

"Cosmic Sea?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but look at the Lord of Chaos City.

The Lord of Chaos City explained to Zhou Yang, "The primordial universe is just a cradle! It's the cradle that nurtured us; it's very peaceful and the danger level is very low."

"The cosmic sea... is the real battlefield."

"A large number of super beings, even the strongest beings in the universe, existed in that cosmic sea before the Great Cataclysm."

The Lord of Chaos looked at Zhou Yang, "There are even more dangers there, especially in the deepest parts of the three forbidden zones, where even the strongest beings in the universe can perish."

"That is the true gathering place of the strong, where a large number of supreme treasures and precious artifacts are born in the cosmic sea."

The Lord of Chaos sighed, "The Primordial Star only opens once every endless years, and each time it opens, the most precious treasure is only one top-tier domain-level treasure. But deep within the three forbidden zones... it is said that there are many supreme treasures in the deepest parts of the three forbidden zones! And the number of top-tier treasures is frightening..."

"Of course, you absolutely cannot enter even some of the inner areas, let alone the deepest parts," said the Chaos City Lord. "Right now, you can only occasionally venture into the outer realms."

"There, you will be truly tempered."

"The powerful beings before the Great Cataclysm are all more ancient than the powerful beings of our primordial universe! The powerful beings of our primordial universe were all born after the Great Cataclysm... Those ancient powerful beings are incredibly strong, and fighting them will inspire many of your thoughts, and your strength will improve even faster," the Chaos City Lord exclaimed.

Hearing the words of the Chaos City Lord, Zhou Yang nodded repeatedly.

He had not only read the original work, but now, as the Lord of the Universe with extremely high authority, he had also accessed a detailed introduction to the Cosmic Sea in the virtual universe.

The primordial universe was born, evolved, operated, weakened, and destroyed... This is a cycle.

A great cataclysm would annihilate everything in the primordial universe!

When a new race is born again in the primordial universe... then it will be a new cycle.

Some beings that existed before the Great Cataclysm were naturally able to escape it and save their lives.

However, if one cannot break through the cycle of reincarnation, one can only exist in the cosmic sea for a maximum of three reincarnation eras.

After three cycles of reincarnation, everything will enter into eternal annihilation.

Zhou Yang also longed for the Cosmic Sea, with its abundant treasures and a large number of powerful individuals from three reincarnation eras. It was truly a place for the strong to hone their skills!

However, he also had his own plans.

Not to mention that the Sword River Luo and the Reincarnation Divine Armor still need improvement, the secrets contained within the 10081 primordial stars remain unexplored, and in addition—

He looked at the Lord of Chaos City and said respectfully, "Master, I have vaguely sensed the bottleneck to my breakthrough. I wish to break through to the level of Lord of the Universe before heading to the Sea of ​​the Universe."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, the Chaos City Lord's eyes lit up.

He naturally knew that Zhou Yang had not yet truly broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

That's why he was so delighted. His disciple could already fight against a veteran third-tier universe master like Yan Di even before breaking through. What kind of strength would he have after he truly crossed that threshold and his divine power increased a hundredfold?

"That's good news. After your breakthrough, both your strength and your ability to survive will improve significantly."

The Lord of Chaos nodded. "In that case, you should go back and focus on your studies while waiting for your breakthrough. When you break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, I will guide you into the Sea of ​​the Universe."
