Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 276 Five Million Years

The war in the primordial universe directly established the human race's dominant position in the primordial universe for billions of years to come!

Under the command of the Chaos City Lord and other high-ranking human leaders, the powerful figures of the various human factions began to send out a large number of Realm Lord Legions and Immortal Legions to occupy the territories that originally belonged to the other five peak races and the various races of the Northern Frontier Alliance. They also relocated a large number of humans who originally lived in the secret realms of the universe or within the realms of the God Kingdom to these territories.

The combined extent of these territories exceeds half of the entire primordial universe, and they are essentially the most core and abundant part of the primordial universe!

To ensure the safety of these newly acquired territories, nearly three hundred of Zhou Yang's Universe Lord servants were conscripted by the Chaos City Lord to guard various parts of the territories.

With nearly three hundred Universe Lords, this number exceeds the combined total of the previous six peak races, which is more than enough to guard these territories!

With these three hundred or so servants of the Lord of the Universe in charge, the large number of ordinary humans who had migrated from the human race began to multiply rapidly.

For ordinary human life, the gestation period is extremely short, mostly lasting from a few months to several years.

Some powerful individuals even have hundreds or thousands of wives, and within a century, they can develop a huge family!

Therefore, in just ten thousand years, a large number of human lives had rapidly spread to every corner of these new territories.

With its vast territory, abundant resources, and a stable living environment guarded by numerous universe lords, a large number of universe-level, domain lord-level, and even world lord-level geniuses have begun to emerge among the new generation of humans!

The most outstanding among them were selected and sent to the initial universe for intensive training.

Once these geniuses are nurtured to the peak of the Realm Lord level, they can gradually come into contact with the ancient civilization inheritance and guidance of the Duan Donghe lineage.

Although Zhou Yang had also received a vast amount of inheritance from the Silver Token Space, most of those inheritances were applicable to those at the True God level or above, and even the content at the Universe Lord level only accounted for a small portion.

However, the Duan Donghe inheritance that Luo Feng obtained was a complete system inheritance that allowed him to cultivate from an immortal god all the way to the ultimate limit of the strongest in the universe.

If it is to be used to guide the development of the clan, then the lineage of Duan Donghe is obviously more suitable.

The inheritance that Zhou Yang received was more suitable for the top universe masters and the founder of the giant axe to comprehend.

Under the guidance of the Duan Donghe lineage, most of the young geniuses of the human race can break through to the level of immortal gods with great ease, and some of the outstanding ones have even begun to try to break through to the level of cosmic venerables.

Besides these young geniuses, the older generation of human universe masters and cosmic venerables, as well as a large number of immortal beings accumulated over billions of eras, have experienced an explosive increase in strength after receiving the inheritance of ancient civilizations!

These older generation human elites were able to cultivate to their current level without the guidance and inheritance of ancient civilizations. Now that they have the guidance and inheritance of ancient civilizations, advancing to a higher realm is practically a certainty!

Only two eras after the end of the great war, a great joyous event was announced among the human race.

One of the oldest and strongest beings in human history, Zhou Yang's teacher, and the leader of the Virtual Universe Company, the "Lord of Chaos City," has successfully taken the final step, becoming the third strongest being in the universe in human history, after the Primordial Ancestor and the Giant Axe Founder!

In the years that followed, the number of powerful human beings began to grow explosively!

A large number of cosmic venerables and cosmic masters began to emerge!

In the twentieth era after the Great War of the Primordial Universe, Zhou Yang's other teacher, the guardian of the Chaos Monument, 'Kandri', successfully broke through to the level of the Lord of the Universe!

Zhou Yang immediately presented a complete set of supreme palace, domain, soul, armor, and weapon treasures as a congratulatory gift.

With this complete set of supreme treasures, plus Kandri's special clone technique, his strength directly leaped to a level comparable to a fourth-tier universe master!

In the thirty-eighth era after the war, under Zhou Yang's strict supervision, his son Zhou Yi, who was always enthusiastic about expanding the Zhou family line, finally calmed down and began to focus his energy on cultivation. Not long after, he broke through to the realm of the Universe Venerable.

Zhou Yi's life gene level was more than four thousand times higher when he was born, which is equivalent to an extremely heaven-defying special life form!

After breaking through to the level of a Universe Venerable, he directly possessed the combat power of a top-tier Universe Overlord. Coupled with the life-saving treasure bestowed upon him by Zhou Yang, he could even be regarded as a true Universe Lord.

It is worth mentioning that among the many descendants of Zhou Yi who continued the Zhou family line, there actually emerged an exceptionally outstanding genius.

Zhou Chengyu, according to seniority, should be a descendant of Zhou Yang, tens of thousands of generations later.

This little guy has shown extraordinary talent since he started cultivating, especially in the field of time, which is simply astonishing. He comprehends the laws of time as easily as eating and drinking.

In just over a thousand years, Zhou Chengyu cultivated to the peak of the Realm Lord. After coming into contact with the inheritance of ancient civilization, he made rapid progress and comprehended the entire Law of Time in less than 50,000 years, thus becoming the Time Venerable!

While he may not be on par with Zhou Yang at this stage, he is still considered among the top talents in the entire human race.

Zhou Yang was quite pleased with this, after all, he was his junior, and it was something to be happy about that such a promising talent had emerged.

Therefore, after a period of observation and testing, Zhou Yang took him under his wing and personally taught him cultivation.

Good news from the human race continues to arrive—

A large number of Realm Lords broke through to Immortal Gods, and one after another, powerful older generation Immortals began to break through to Universe Venerables. Soon, the number of Universe Venerables in the human race exceeded ten thousand!

Furthermore, as time went on, new cosmic rulers began to emerge among the human race—

Lord of the Celestial Eclipse Palace, Lord of the Ancestral Tree, Lord of the Star Prison Demon, Lord of the Eclipse Fire.

Guided by the legacy of ancient civilizations and nourished by the boundless resources of their vast territories, one after another, veteran cosmic venerables of the human race began to break through, and the strength of the human race began to grow unprecedentedly!

While the human race was developing steadily and gradually dominating the entire primitive universe, Zhou Yang had already begun to venture into the perilous cosmic sea, piloting the Supreme Palace.

The Peak Realm is ever-changing and extremely strange.

The spaceship, a super treasure of the mechanical world, is divided into billions of areas, and traces of its original, intact form can still be vaguely discerned.

Liuchong Mountain is strangely beautiful, like a labyrinth.

During his wanderings, Zhou Yang did not spend much time searching for treasure. Instead, he sought to experience the unique environments and laws of various dangerous places, and even study some special substances and strange life forms in the cosmic sea, so as to verify his own insights.

In the new universe, his various avatars are in a region where time has been accelerated by more than ten thousand times, working diligently to comprehend the mysteries of the 'Life Record'.

The "Life Record" contains a trace of the "Law of Life". Each time Zhou Yang comprehends it, his understanding of the "Way of Life" becomes deeper and deeper, and this understanding in turn promotes the continuous improvement of his divine power level.

With nothing to worry about among the human race, Zhou Yang was immersed in his adventures and cultivation, completely unaware of the passage of time.

Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, millions of years.

Time flows like water, passing silently without leaving a trace.

In the blink of an eye, five million years have quietly passed.

On this day, Zhou Yang, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a jolt in his mind, and a strange feeling surged into his heart.

"The first layer of the new universe has finally expanded to its limit!"

His face immediately lit up with boundless joy!
