Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 275 Returning to the realm of mountains and seas

Bai Yang had long known that the journey to Dragon Tower Star was fraught with peril, a journey fraught with near-death experiences.

The simulation experience had already taught him this, but the simulation experience does not include the power of the system.

Therefore, the solution lies within the system itself.

He gently tapped the panel in his mind, and its contents were instantly imprinted into his brain.

He hasn't used the [Earth travel] opportunity that was given to him when he advanced to the cosmic level.

"Use [Earth Travel]".

"Roger that! Time travel initiation!"

Bai Yang felt a momentary daze and instantly lost all sensation in his body.

When he came to his senses, he found himself no longer underground, but in a place that resembled a warehouse.

The roof was dilapidated, but starlight shone down on it.

The walls were drafty, and cold winds blew in from time to time.

The area was filled with piles of straw, making it look like a place where people could live.

He raised his hands and feet and looked at them, and found that his whole body had shrunk, and he seemed to have become a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

Bai Yang held his breath and began to absorb the original memories of this body.

"It's better to be an orphan; it's convenient for you to do anything."

From now on, my name here will be Zou Qi.

Goooo!

Bai Yang shuddered, and suddenly a long-lost feeling came from his lower abdomen.

I haven't experienced this feeling of hunger in a long time.

Zou Qi's body was extremely thin and could hardly be described as healthy.

Bai Yang didn't care. He had all his understanding of the laws, so why would he care about this?

He was too lazy to go out, so he simply laid a thin layer of straw on the ground.

Then, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, sense the energy of the universe, and begin cultivating genetic energy.

A short while later, a storm formed by cosmic energy appeared in the sky above the entire warehouse.

An enormous amount of energy, almost enough to tear a planetary-level creature apart, poured directly into this frail body.

Bai Yang's body expanded rapidly, like an inflating balloon.

In just five minutes, he went from a boy with no cultivation experience to an apprentice-level student at an astonishing speed.

He also spent some cosmic energy to modify his physical body, otherwise it would have been even faster.

Crackle!

He sat on the ground, his bones making a popping sound like beans being fried.

He suddenly grew several centimeters taller, and his originally thin body developed lean muscles.

Bai Yang opened his eyes but did not continue to improve.

After advancing to the cosmic level, he was able to fully grasp the evolution of the monster's body.

He opened his right palm and exerted all his strength.

Under his control, the flesh and blood in his palm quickly formed a new monster cell.

He threw it directly into his mouth and began to let his cells optimize and adjust his body.

Half an hour later, his new body had fully transformed into a new monster.

The original enlightenment and cosmic-level life essence can be completely transferred.

The world the system took him to was, of course, not the real Earth of the past.

Bai Yang didn't care at all about the impact on the world.

Let's go all out and push the speed of improvement to the limit.

You don't need to worry about as much as you used to.

That night, the cosmic energy above the entire warehouse never stopped.

When dawn broke, Bai Yang emerged from within.

Although he was dressed in tattered clothes, he still possessed a vigorous and agile air about him.

At this moment, his eyes were bright and piercing.

Although her appearance hasn't changed, her entire demeanor is completely different; she's practically a different person.

"To advance to the peak of the planetary level in one night, that's fast enough."

Bai Yang stood outside the warehouse, looking around.

This is the edge of a mountain range surrounded by mountains, and a small village is built next to a small river.

It's called a village, but it's just a simple mountain stronghold with only a little over three hundred people.

This area is surrounded by forests, and it is said that there are many ferocious monsters there.

There were no strong people in the whole village; everyone just lived a life of going hungry.

Zou Qi is an orphan who grew up in the village. He lost his parents at a young age and had no skills.

Fortunately, the villagers of Mengcun had taken care of me, so I had a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Under such circumstances, one can only be considered temporarily alive.

With his reawakened spiritual power, Bai Yang was preparing to scan the distant forest.

Suddenly, an old voice came from behind.

"Zou Qi, why are you up?"

Bai Yang turned around and saw the village chief who had given him temporary shelter in the warehouse.

The old man, leaning on a wooden cane and wearing a lake-green robe, was looking at him with a surprised expression.

This child is Bai Yuan, the village chief. He has watched him grow up since he was a child, and he has always been frail and sickly.

But today he seemed unusually energetic, as if he had eaten and drunk his fill.

Bai Yang glanced at the other person and smiled, "Village Chief, I'm all better now."

Thank you for coming to see me so early this morning.

Yesterday, the real Zou Qi went fishing with the others by the river, but accidentally fell into the water.

The villagers quickly rescued him, but since Bai Yuan, the only person who knew how to treat illnesses, was not in the village, they could only temporarily settle him in the warehouse.

I didn't expect him to come so early this morning.

Bai Yang could tell from his appearance that he hadn't slept all night and had traveled back overnight.

There were signs of cultivation on his body, probably at the planetary level.

"Although this village has a small population, the people are really friendly."

He nodded to himself.

Even though he'll be leaving soon, let's help them out while we're at it.

Bai Yuan looked puzzled, but Zou Qi's healthy appearance was obvious to everyone.

He really didn't know what to say.

Bai Yang, recalling his purpose in coming to this world, asked directly:

"Village chief, do you know about the 'Trial Grounds of the Gods'?"

Where is the nearest prefecture-level city to us?

"How do you know all this!?"
