Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 279 Decision

Logically speaking, Zhou Yang has been in the world of Swallowing the Stars for over five million years, so he shouldn't be too obsessed with pursuing the so-called past life.

After all, he has now almost reached the peak that the primordial universe can contain. He only needs to raise his divine power to the perfect level before he can immediately begin his breakthrough.

With his current profound understanding, he could even break through directly to the Void True God realm!

Then you can easily pass through reincarnation and travel to the vast Origin Continent to begin a more exciting battle journey.

Therefore, peaceful cultivation should be his best option at present.

However, for some reason, the moment Zhou Yang saw that familiar golden aura again, his mood became unusually urgent.

He desperately wanted to see certain people, such as his best friend "Guang-ge" who often helped him out with his living expenses during his school days in his previous life; his uncle and aunt's family, who, despite their complaints, had always taken care of him and supported his education after their parents passed away; the neighbors in the village who often looked after him; and the figure in the white dress who often tutored him under the pretext of "class monitor's duty."

At the time, I was so immersed in the pain of my parents’ departure that I felt like I was all alone and helpless, and that I was always looked down upon. I only thought about escaping and hiding, but I never noticed the beams of light that shone into my life during the darkest time of my life. Looking back now, I realize that I missed so much!

Now, he desperately wants to see those familiar faces again, and he wants to tell them in person that he is doing well now and thanks them for their care back then.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yang was startled!

Why did I suddenly think of all this? Could it be...?

Zhou Yang couldn't help but look at the wisp of golden energy floating in front of him, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.

He suspected that he might have been under some kind of unseen influence!

However, after carefully examining himself, he basically ruled out this possibility.

"My soul remains clear and transparent, showing no signs of being affected. Moreover, what just happened was indeed my true thought."

Zhou Yang couldn't help but carefully sense that wisp of golden energy again, and after a moment he made a new discovery.

The attraction emanating from that golden aura wasn't directed at his entire soul, but rather at a sliver of light deep within it—a tiny trace of soul power he'd preserved when he crossed over from another world, the only mark left on him by his previous life.

"Hmm? Could it be that this golden current can take me back to my previous world?"

Zhou Yang had a thought.

If it's just a fleeting inspiration, it won't have much of an impact on him.

He weighed the options silently in his mind and quickly made up his mind.

"Pop~"

Like a gentle ripple on water, a tiny golden speck of light, almost the size of a grain of rice, separated from his soul.

To his current immense soul power, this tiny fraction of his soul separation was like a drop of water compared to an endless ocean, having no effect whatsoever.

"go!"

With a thought, Zhou Yang caused the tiny golden dot to be drawn in by an unseen force and instantly disappear into the golden aura that was distinct from the other Xuanhuang energies.

At the very moment that inspiration struck, the golden stream of energy seemed to be activated by some kind of program, instantly becoming active.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

The golden energy flow twisted and turned, as if it had transformed into an extremely tiny golden dragon, and Zhou Yang's point of spiritual light was now inside the head of the golden dragon.

"Ugh~"

The miniature golden dragon raised its head and let out an extremely clear and loud dragon roar. Then, the entire golden dragon quickly swam and crashed into the depths of the new universe!

"boom."

The miniature golden dragon's collision shattered the membrane of the entire new universe, instantly appearing in the endless void outside the new universe!

Zhou Yang's spark of inspiration, enveloped by the golden dragon, also entered this void.

Because it was only a very faint point of spiritual light, Zhou Yang's perception of the outside world was also very, very weak, but he could still sense the chaotic energy surging in the outside world.

It was an overwhelming surge of energy that terrified him. He knew that even if his body was still intact, he would be instantly annihilated if he were to be exposed to the outside world.

When he first ventured into the cosmic sea, he attempted to enter the energy space outside the new universe.

However, at that time, only a passage less than the size of a fist was opened. The external energy impact that rushed in through that passage, weakened by billions of times, almost caused him, who had become the master of the universe at that time, to perish.

Even now, he has no confidence that he can survive in the external energy void on his own.

However, with the protection of the divine dragon formed from that wisp of golden energy, although the experience was still thrilling, he was not harmed in the slightest.

Call ~

Enveloped by that miniature golden dragon, Zhou Yang's spark of inspiration seemed to be traveling at high speed along a special passage.

In this vast void, time seems to have lost its meaning.

It felt like only a day or two had passed, yet it also felt like billions of years had gone by. Zhou Yang's spiritual light's perception of time gradually became blurred.

Occasionally, Zhou Yang could faintly sense a massive life fluctuation similar to that of the primordial universe, but it would quickly pass by afterward.

"Where are you taking me? To another primordial universe? Or... somewhere else?"

In a state where time and space had become completely blurred, Zhou Yang felt that a very, very long time had passed.

The miniature golden dragon continued to carry him through the void, and during this process, the golden dragon's energy seemed to remain undiminished, always full of vigor and vitality.

Flying, flying continuously, during which it seemed to pass through some kind of powerful barrier that was almost tangible. It was during this passage through the barrier that the golden dragon experienced its first energy depletion, with the energy of the entire golden aura being consumed by as much as 90%!

However, the journey became increasingly smooth afterward. The miniature golden dragon seemed to have returned home and became unusually active, even its speed of movement seemed to have increased slightly.

After yet another incredibly long flight—

Finally, on this day, the depths of Zhou Yang's spiritual light trembled slightly and instantly became joyful.

He sensed a massive and terrifying fluctuation, a massive and terrifying fluctuation that was countless times more powerful than the primordial universe!

Moreover, this time the miniature golden dragon didn't just pass by; it brought him rapidly closer!

boom!

As it drew closer to the terrifying fluctuations, the miniature golden dragon, carrying a sliver of its spiritual light, finally crashed headlong into them.

Then, under the protection of the golden dragon, Zhou Yang's glimmer of spiritual light was instantly enveloped and entered a developing embryo.
