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

Chapter 506 The Bait You Can't Afford to Take

The Thunder Beast God was not angered, but continued to ask:

Why?

Bai Yang knew that since this Lord of the Universe did not directly trace back his personal experiences, he must have a bottom line.

As disciples of the Lord of the Universe, they should maintain this level of mutual respect and understanding when there is no conflict between them.

He chose to tell the truth:

"There is so much I need to learn."

"Having another divine general's inheritance won't help me much, and I don't want to be locked into a limit."

Thunder Beast God remained noncommittal, but quickly retrieved the records of Bai Yang receiving the inheritance back then.

He was even more surprised when he saw that the human had stopped precisely on the 6500th step.

Did he just finish the perfectly correct stepping stone of inheritance?

What a coincidence! Did the giant axe tell him something?

Thunder Beast God immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea; even the creator of the Giant Axe wouldn't know such a thing.

Perhaps it's a coincidence, or perhaps it's the inexplicable feeling of a true genius.

Bai Yang's ability to predict the actions of the universe's fundamental will is utterly inconceivable.

The Thunder Beast God would never have such an absurd idea.

"So what do you want?"

You chose to proactively showcase your abilities; surely you're not doing so without any ulterior motive?

Bai Yang looked at the enormous beast god before him and said:

"I hope to witness the true secrets of the Ancestral God Sect's Beast God in the future."

My teacher told me that ancestral god cults existed in every cosmic era.

Even if a primordial beast god dies, a subsequent acquired beast god will take its place.

With such a massive accumulation, this place must be the richest in resources if one wants to walk the path of the Beast God.

The Lord of Purple Thorn Island couldn't help but say:

"With such a strong foundation as the strongest divine general, why did you choose to follow the path of the beast god?"

Are you really that confident that you can become the ruler of the universe?

Bai Yang turned to him and explained:

"Because I don't just want to see one type of Beast God's Path, I want to see all eight!"

Upon hearing this, even the Thunder Beast God was speechless.

Bloodfire General couldn't help but say:

"There has never been such a precedent!"

Even if you have eight Beast God Inheritance Tokens, it won't work!

What do you want to achieve by making this request?

Bai Yang said apologetically:

"I don't want a normal inheritance; I need to comprehend a large number of secret methods for integrating laws."

This matter concerns my core cultivation, and I apologize that I cannot disclose the reason.

The entire hall fell silent immediately. With the other party making such a statement, neither the Bloodfire God General nor the Purple Thorn Island Master knew what to say.

Then they were surprised to find that the Thunder Beast God did not refuse immediately!

What does this mean?

The three of them couldn't help but look at him.

The Thunder Beast God was silent for a moment, then asked:

"Are you sure you only need to look at the secret techniques for various fusion laws?"

Bai Yang immediately replied, "Yes! Please, Beast God, give me this opportunity."

The Thunder Beast God's voice boomed:

"I can make an exception for you, but you have to promise me a few things."

Bai Yang said happily, "Please speak!"

Thunder Beast God began to speak:

"First of all, you must join the peripheral organization of my Ancestral God Cult."

Bai Yang nodded in agreement without hesitation, which was only natural.

"Secondly, I can give you the opportunity, but only after you become a Universal Venerable."

"No problem, I'm willing to wait."

Bai Yang was confident in his speed of advancement and believed he could catch them off guard.

Seeing his decisive answer, the Thunder Beast God concluded:

"Third, if you become the Lord of the Universe through the Path of the Beast God, you must become our Guardian Beast God."

You have to swear these things to the fundamental will of the universe.

Bai Yang replied decisively, "Fine! I agree!"

Hearing the last point made him even more delighted.

Bloodfire God and Purple Thorn Island Master were both calculating in their hearts that since they could both become Universe Venerables, their goal was to break through to become Universe Lords.

If Bai Yang truly follows the path of the Beast God, then combining the second and third conditions, it would be tantamount to giving a universe master to the Ancestral God Sect for free.

The Ancestral God Sect wouldn't care which specific path of beast god he was following.

As long as we can break through, that's good.

Given Bai Yang's astonishing talent, he's guaranteed to become a cosmic overlord in the future.

Coupled with the advantage of being able to be resurrected, its significance is no less than that of a cosmic ruler.

If he has even higher aptitude and can walk the Great Path of Time and Space to become the Lord of the Universe, that would be even better!

The Ancestral God Sect decides the exact quantity and actual strength of the secret techniques they provide.

Using some secret methods that won't cost you anything, to get to know a master of the universe is a worthwhile deal.

The Thunder Beast God was very pleased to see him so agreeable:

"Very good! Then I'll also show some sincerity."

I grant you permission to live on the entire continent!

It's no smaller than the entire Bauhinia Island; you can live there as you please.

From there, you can also directly travel to the three key locations: Heritage, Treasure, and Secret Realm.

From now on, no other race can ambush you.

One of the 72 continents, the exclusive continent of the Divine General of the Universe?

A place that no force in the universe has ever been to!

Is it necessary to go to this extent?

Bai Yang was surprised and secretly guessed the Thunder Beast God's intentions.

"He probably wants to completely bind me to the Ancestral God Cult's war machine. Is there something there?"

Despite his doubts, he thanked her aloud first.

Following the procedure, he made a vow to the original will of the primordial universe.

Seeing how decisively Bai Yang finished all this, it seems he had no intention of being cunning at all.

The three members of the Ancestral God Sect all smiled, and their gazes towards him immediately became much more friendly.

After the three left the Thunder Beast Temple, the Purple Thorn Island Master teleported away.

Bloodfire General then said enthusiastically:

"I'll still call you Sword Mist King normally."

Shall we head to the Universal Continent now?

Bai Yang smiled and thanked him.

"Then I'll have to trouble General Bloodfire."

He knew that this god-general possessed the strength to fight against ordinary universe lords, so he behaved very politely.

Bloodfire God waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, and instantly teleported Bai Yang into the Five-Colored Aurora Lake!

He pointed to the surrounding aurora borealis and explained:

"I've never been to the Universal Continent either, so we can only be sent there via the Five-Colored Aurora Lake."

That place has never been opened or entered since the beginning of this cosmic era.

After I take you there, I'll also activate the teleportation links for the three major strategic locations for you.

Seeing that he spoke casually, Bai Yang tentatively asked:

"General Bloodfire, what are the benefits of the Thunder Beast God assigning me there?"

The two were being propelled by the aurora and were flying at high speed.

Upon hearing Bai Yang's question, the Bloodfire God General looked at him meaningfully and said:

"The benefits are really huge!"

Especially now that you're the Realm Lord.

Bai Yang's eyes lit up, and he said, "I'd like to hear the details!"

Bloodfire God General didn't keep them in suspense any longer and said:

"You're human, so you must have been to the initial universe, right?"

How do you think this place compares to it?

Bai Yang stated in a factual manner:

"The explicit laws here are far superior to those of the initial universe."

The rules here seem more complete and mature.

He knew the reason, but it was inconvenient for him to say.

As expected, the Bloodfire God General proudly declared:

That's exactly it!

If you have a continent to yourself, you can freely choose any location to observe these laws!

Fly as high as you want, get as close as you want.

And this is the timeline of the normal universe!

There are also countless traces left by the divine generals of the past, which can be observed.

"Which successor can compare to you?"

Bai Yang's mind raced, and he quickly asked, "Something from before this cosmic era?"

The Bloodfire God General laughed and said, "That's right!"
