Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 138 First Arrival at the Ancestral God Cult, the Land of Inheritance

Ancestral God Cult, Purple Thorn Island.

More than ten years have passed since Hunzhen's avatar, far away on the battlefield outside the realm, realized that his true self had arrived at the Ancestral God Sect.

"You are Milirat, from that abyssal race?"

In the void, on a huge meteorite, sat a powerful figure with a wolf's head and a human body, wearing purple armor.

It was none other than Venerable Jiufeng, the overlord of the seven-star universe who guarded the land of inheritance and belonged to the human race.

The Hongmeng, the largest power uniting the human race and its many subordinate races, requires only those at the King level or above to become its official members.

Among the members, it is customary to divide the universe under the Lord of the Universe into seven stars, from one to seven.

Four-star beings are considered cosmic venerables, the most elite immortals, and even invincible powerhouses among those who have been crowned kings can be classified into this category.

Reaching the Seven Star level means being one of the most powerful cosmic overlords. Some newly ascended cosmic lords who have not yet perfected their power also belong to this level, demonstrating their immense strength.

The Lord of the Celestial Eclipse Palace and the Lord of the Star Prison Demon both belong to this category.

The fact that Venerable Jiufeng could be classified as a seven-star level person, already belonging to the top tier of humanity, yet he was assigned here to guide the inheritors of the Beast God's Inheritance Token from the human forces, demonstrates the importance of this place.

At this moment, Venerable Jiufeng looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him who exuded extraordinary charm. Although he was not as affectionate as when he received Luo Feng and Zhenyan King in the original story, he was still very satisfied.

With the Chaos City Lord's special instructions, he naturally couldn't underestimate the geniuses among this new subordinate race.

But there was also a hint of curiosity.

Seeing that "Mirirate" is only at the level of a World Lord, yet she can face the pressure of the Inheritance Ground without showing the slightest discomfort, one can't help but recognize her potential.

"Perhaps tens of thousands of epochs? Hopefully... our Hong Alliance will soon have a new cosmic overlord-level existence." He thought to himself.

To withstand the pressure of the inheritance land as a realm lord is definitely a power comparable to that of a king during the realm lord era.

Venerable Jiufeng naturally knew some information about the Abyss Royal Family.

The genetic multiplier and law compatibility of the Abyss King's bloodline are comparable to the peak bloodlines of ordinary life, but to be comparable to a King at the Realm Lord level, one must either have a law comprehension close to that of a Venerable or have other special encounters.

Such a genius, once he breaks through to the immortal level, will at least be an invincible king.

It may be difficult to reach the realm of a Cosmic Venerable, but such extraordinary geniuses are comparable to the level of "Kodi". It is common for them to have the strength of a Cosmic Venerable at the Immortal level.

As a high-ranking member of the human race, he naturally hoped that the other party would be more talented, perhaps able to reach his own level with the help of the Ancestral God Sect.

Hunzhen, disguised as Milirat, slightly twisted the hem of her skirt, bowed, and nodded in greeting: "Greetings, Venerable Jiufeng."

That kind of temperament was exactly the same as that of Milirat from the Abyss of Purgatory back then.

It's like how the Lord of Chaos City in the original story gave Luo Feng a completely new identity, allowing him to join the Hong Alliance twice, once as "Luo Feng" and once as "King of the Blade River."

To avoid suspicion, Hunzhen also used a new identity when he went to the Ancestral God Sect.

Millirat is a member of the royal bloodline with extremely high potential who escaped the "world-ending calamity" of the abyss, a race that was recently unsealed in the cosmic secret realm of Purgatory.

Just as the origins of "King of the Blade River" are crystal clear, Milirat's identity is also completely plausible; in fact, it was Hunzhen who took the initiative to suggest it.

Although the Lord of Chaos City was surprised, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that using a female identity would indeed be easier to confuse the alien races, so he readily agreed.

"I will use these eyes to see this world properly for you," Hunzhen silently thought to himself.

At Venerable Jiufeng's instruction, Hunzhen immediately darted into the black mist of the inheritance site.

As soon as Hunzhen flew into the black mist, an incredible power surged forth and instantly affected Hunzhen's entire body.

As if sensing the message that Hunzhen had recognized the "Wind and Time Beast God Inheritance Order," the Inheritance Ground immediately drove Hunzhen to extend its finger forward, and the power of the world surged forth, weaving incomparably profound law patterns, spontaneously deducing the fusion law of "wind and time."

For Hunzhen, who possesses a simulation system, simply receiving the inheritance once would be a tremendous waste. After all, there is only one free inheritance opportunity for each level of the Beast God inheritance.

However, those who come to the Ancestral God Cult to practice are primarily there for the purpose of establishing their lineage.

Mililatero never uses any of her inheritance opportunities, which easily reminds the alien races of the genius Hunzhen from two thousand years ago, who also never used the Chaos Stele inheritance.

These are the number of times we have to use them.

Fortunately, unlike the Chaos Monument, the inheritance opportunities in the Inheritance Land still offer "non-free" exchange opportunities.

Even so, simply accepting the inheritance without doing anything still made Hunzhenxin feel a little depressed.

Therefore, he already had other ideas before he went in.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the colorless core and entered the overhead view.

The phantom of the demon god, which could only be seen in reality, suddenly appeared.

The profound and unpredictable evolution of the laws of chaos is on full display.

In this land of inheritance, one aspect of the chaotic evolution, which was originally so profound that even observation was extremely difficult, suddenly became more than a hundred times clearer.

"This is……"

Hunzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, widening like copper bells, as if unwilling to miss any detail.

"The laws governing the fusion of wind and time, and the processes involved in the evolution of chaos, are clearer than ever before!"

After all, he did not specialize in the path of the Beast God.

In the simulation, the land of inheritance was probably only one percent as effective for him as other cultivators of the Path of the Beast God.

However, by observing the core of the colorless one, the effect of his single inheritance was probably comparable to a hundred inheritances by other cultivators of the Path of the Beast God! Or even more!

That's an improvement of tens of thousands of times!

"Um?"

"Judging from the Land of Inheritance, my comprehension of the Wind-Time Fusion Law is comparable to the third level of the Beast God's Path? Moreover, it seems I haven't just stepped into this level?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Hunzhen's face.

Almost at the same time, the mark between Hunzhen's eyebrows appeared, and the lines changed again.

"The Law of Wind has gained the recognition of the fundamental law."

A glint of light flashed in Hunzhen's eyes.

"That's not all."

"Unlike ordinary inheritors, my understanding this time is not just about comprehending the laws of wind and time fusion, but about comprehending their changes in the evolution of chaos."

Within the laws of chaos, the ten laws complement each other.

While focusing on understanding wind and time, it also led to insights into other laws.

The understanding of the Five Elements principle is the least, followed by the principles of wind and space integration.

Before wind, thunder, and light, Hunzhen had already evolved into Taiji, forming the rudiments of the Yin-Yang principle, which benefited the two lower-level principles other than the principle of wind the most.

……

When Hunzhen entered the land of inheritance, a great deal of information about "Milirathe" was also transmitted to various alien races.

The demon race, as one of the most steadfast groups in their resistance against the human race, had long ago begun to raise and discuss this intelligence.

"Natives from the Abyss of Purgatory? Tsk, humanity has gained yet another lackey and vassal race."

"This Milirat, she just came from that remote corner of the world, and she's already such a genius? Or is it that a World Lord level being able to receive a legacy? We must make plans as soon as possible."

Inside the council chamber sat several high-ranking and powerful cosmic beings.

However, some radicals have already proposed the idea of ​​eliminating it in advance.

"No."

The Black Vulture Venerable shook his head and said, "Now is the time to execute the 'Abyss Project' targeting the two emerging geniuses of the human race. It's not wise to launch another large-scale attack and alert the human race."

"Black Eagle is right. We must distinguish between primary and secondary matters. After all, Milirat is not human. Even if she realizes her potential in the future, she may not be wholeheartedly devoted to serving the human race. Moreover, it is still unknown whether her strength is sufficient to become a king. Perhaps she was only able to receive the inheritance through a rare treasure, or perhaps it is a smokescreen released by the human race to test our movements."

An elderly man with a dragon's head spoke up, and his statement was accepted by many.

Some even suggested that since the Abyss royal family has only been a vassal of the human race for a short time, it would be worthwhile to try to win them over.

Moreover, we can glean some insight from Milirat. This Abyss royal family may have considerable potential. Even if we cannot win them over, we can still create gaps and perhaps become another "Flame God Clan".

The latest novel is first published here!

"Gentlemen, perhaps there is another possibility?"

"Due to the Abyss Project, our three races briefly exchanged intelligence regarding the human race. One of the secret messages sent by the Machine Race recorded that there have been records of humans entering and leaving the Abyss of Purgatory in the last few thousand years. These few thousand years coincide with the time when those two human geniuses were born..."

The demon said thoughtfully, "Is it possible that 'Mirirathe' isn't some Abyss royal family member at all, but rather Hunzhen in disguise?"

He didn't mention Luo Feng, simply because Luo Feng's information security was far inferior to Hun Zhen's, and based on that intelligence analysis, let alone becoming a king, Luo Feng would have a hard time possessing the combat power of a marquis at this stage.

In comparison, the elusive and mysterious Hunzhen has a significantly higher chance of possessing the combat power to be a king than Luo Feng.

After a brief silence, the dragon-headed elder suggested, "In that case, before finalizing the plan, let's first confirm whether this 'Mirirathe' is actually human!"

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

Besides the demon race, the mechanical race and the insect race also have similar ideas.

At this stage, the main focus is on testing and verifying Milirat's true identity.

……

"How is it?" Venerable Jiufeng asked immediately upon seeing Hunzhen appear.

Hunzhen knew that the information from the third level of inheritance would be recorded in the Black Book of the Ancestral God Cult's virtual world and the world of glory.

Without hiding anything, he replied, "The third level."

"A third level?"

Venerable Jiufeng's eyes lit up immediately, and he smiled and said, "Not bad."

Then, he gave Hunzhen many instructions regarding the inheritance of the Beast God and the Ancestral God Sect before waving him away. (See Chapter 5 of Volume 18 of the original work)

The Ancestral God Cult has four treasure lands: the Land of Glory, the Land of Inheritance, the Land of Treasures, and the Land of Secrets.

Not to mention the nearly ten years spent waiting to meet the guardian beast god and obtain access to the four treasure lands, there was also the introduction by Venerable Jiufeng.

Hunzhen himself possessed knowledge of the original text and had a good understanding of these four treasure lands, knowing what to do and when to do it.

"You can only exchange points earned through battles in the Glory World to obtain the opportunity to inherit."

"But my top priority right now is not to directly enter the world of Glory."

Besides social interaction, the main function of the Glory World is Glory Battles, where players can earn Glory Points to exchange for access to the Land of Inheritance.

Each inheritor starts with 3 Glory Points. When the points reach zero, a minimum reward mechanism is triggered, and a small number of points are awarded after a period of time. As the number of times the minimum reward is triggered increases, the time interval gradually lengthens.

The Ancestral God Sect has the most inheritors of the three lineages, with a total number exceeding 90 million.

Previously, Hunzhen, despite having no foundation, was able to grasp the basics of the laws of chaos by simply studying the laws of wind and time fusion.

Initially, he was considered the first-level inheritor of the Ancestral God Cult, an unprecedented achievement. Through repeated inheritance by simulated humans, he reached the second level of inheritance.

Now, observing the evolution of chaos in the land of inheritance has finally been classified as the third level of inheritance.

"The realm master, the newcomer, and the third level of inheritance are enough to attract a large number of challengers."

"But for me... that's not enough."

"Unlike Luo Feng, who became famous early on as 'King of the Knife River'..."

"To get more people to challenge me, I must make them aware of my existence, which means—becoming famous."

Coincidentally, he saw in the simulation records that the three most powerful races hostile to humanity planned to test him.

"Hehehe—uh, no, I'm currently wearing Milirat's face."

Hunzhen couldn't help but sneer twice, then suddenly froze, and then opened a pink and white parasol, covering his mouth and giggling softly.

Compared to Milirat, who sits in a wheelchair and gives off an ethereal and fragile feeling, possessing a noble and otherworldly temperament, she also exudes a delicate and elegant air of a young lady.

"That's it now." The Hunzhen Void condensed a mirror, looked at itself, turned its head to look left and right, and nodded in full approval.

Step, step, step.

Wandering through the void, before long, Hunzhen arrived at the treasure land.

The secret realm is bustling with people, while the treasure land is mostly frequented by those seeking opportunities. Naturally, it is the most suitable place for Hunzhen to make a name for himself and gain fame.

Appearing atop a mountain, looking down, one can see countless peaks and valleys, each with its own unique race.

Whether huge or tiny, they traverse mountains, forests, and lakes in search of hidden treasures and opportunities.

The rules for opening these treasure lands, established by their previous owners, varied, and most of the time it was purely a matter of luck. Yet, these inheritors still explored them with great enthusiasm.

"What a handsome young man!"

"Such charm, from the Zerg? No, it's not the Zerg's aura, but rather the charm of a race I've never seen before!"

"Hmm? Only at the Realm Lord level? He's probably another rising prodigy!"

When Hunzhen appeared, it attracted a lot of attention, especially from humanoid and humanoid beings.

Firstly, its aura is unfamiliar to many races.

Although Milirat's appearance is similar to that of a human, these immortal and venerable beings naturally do not judge race by the naked eye, but by the aura of life.

Even if it wasn't the aura of the Abyss Royal Family conjured by the Three Thousand Magical Illusions, Hunzhen's true form was still the Three-Life Demon King, and his aura was completely different from that of humans.

Furthermore, before he embarked on his journey to the Ancestral God Cult, the Lord of Chaos bestowed upon him an additional treasure that combined soul defense and concealment of his aura. Even if the Lord of the Universe were to examine it, he would not recognize him as a human.

Secondly... naturally, it was her extraordinary charm, which was extremely similar to that of the Zerg Queen, as well as her appearance and temperament that made many life forms stand out.
