Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 245 God King's Teachings, Third True Lord: I have cultivated to the point where I can fight against the God of Time and Space!

Hunzhen and the God King of Jin played the "friendship card" and even reasonably laid the groundwork for "reconstruction," which was certainly not without reason.

The support of the world's primordial power is only one aspect.

The opening of permissions greatly increases the upper limit of Hunzhen's ability to observe the Jin world and study world fragments.

Besides, it was also to get Jin Zhi, the God King, as a top-tier mentor for free, so that he could teach him from the perspective of a God King, who was currently struggling to make progress.

As for the terrifying misunderstanding the God King had, Hunzhen was unaware of it. He only knew that after he said those words, the God King of Jin's attitude towards him was greatly elevated, and he devoted himself to teaching him wholeheartedly.

This trip to Wuqilou was very fruitful.

The 30 million military merits reward, along with the equipment obtained from fully clearing the fourth level, will be used by Hunzhen in the evolution of his two natal weapons, greatly reducing the time he spends earning military merits in the future.

Although considering the trillions of years since the Jin Dynasty began, Hunzhen could definitely earn enough military merits here to complete the evolution of his natal weapon.

But the fear is that things might change if things drag on, so I really think it's best to do it as quickly as possible.

Then comes the secret method.

The Divine Eye Secret Technique is not a will-based secret technique tailored to oneself, but just like how most people in the Realm Lord and Immortal eras need to rely on other people's secret techniques as their main combat secret techniques, even if it is not completely compatible with oneself, these advanced secret techniques are still more powerful than self-created secret techniques.

Hunzhen's mastery of the secret arts of will is only ordinary, at the level of an ordinary Void True God. If he wants to improve, absorbing the essence of his predecessors is inevitable.

The power of the Ranks Technique is so great that even the God King covets it.

Having taken away the opportunity that should have belonged to Luo Feng, Hun Zhen felt no shame whatsoever.

After inheriting the techniques of Lieyuan, Hunzhen has been basically determined. This is the secret method that Yuan specially developed to cultivate successors who are expected to walk the ultimate path of the soul.

Although he hadn't read much of "Snow Eagle Lord," he knew that Luo Feng ultimately followed the path of breaking through the laws with force and hadn't achieved Yuan Chu's original wish. Therefore, this secret technique was merely a protective technique for Luo Feng, rather than a technique for breaking through the laws.

It will cause Luo Feng's strength to decrease somewhat along the way, but it will not affect Luo Feng's final achievement. Since Hunzhen has the ability to take it down, then of course he will take it down without hesitation.

In reality, the inheritance of the Lieyuan Technique is not only the inheritance of secret methods, but also the inheritance of special cultivation resources and opportunities.

This "resource" is naturally the "spirit of the induction technique" that returns to the essence of the technique itself.

Each inheritance scroll is connected to the same spirit of the Navigation Technique. With the birth of a true inheritor, this spirit of the Navigation Technique will become part of the technique and merge with the inheritor.

Without the presence of the spirit of the secret technique of attracting and guiding, even if one reaches the threshold of the Holy Will, one cannot cast the Elemental Technique.

In addition, Hunzhen can sense the presence of the spirit of the Na Yin Secret Technique through his strong will, which is subtly changing his soul.

His willpower has become so strong that he can see through even the slightest changes.

He could feel his soul becoming more and more active, and he had a greater talent for abilities such as willpower magic and illusion.

The bottleneck of Saint-level will, which originally required an extremely long time to reach, has also been greatly reduced. The time required for will to become Saint-level is expected to be shortened by a hundred or even a thousand times compared to before!

Hunzhen is vaguely enlightened.

This change is probably very similar to the unique souls of the Earthlings created by the Mountain Dweller.

Originally, Earthlings were a lineage cultivated by the Mountain-Sitting Guest in order to train successors capable of inheriting the Lieyuan Technique.

Of course, such special individuals with unique souls are different from each other, and they need to grow step by step before they can truly shine.

Luo Feng, the strongest person on Earth today, is undoubtedly the one with the strongest soul talent among the Earthlings.

Therefore, the requirement of the Eternal True God level for the Lieyuan Technique was reduced to the Void True God level due to Luo Feng's special soul talent.

The weakening of this major bottleneck demonstrates the success of the "Sitting Mountain Guest" (坐山客) cultivation program.

Compared to Luo Feng, whose soul had undergone a transformation close to the requirements of the Lieyuan Technique from the beginning, Hunzhen naturally did not possess this quality. It was for this reason that significant changes occurred after he received the spirit of the Guiding Secret Technique.

Essentially, Luo Feng enhanced his abilities with "special characteristics" beforehand to ensure he could inherit the Lieyuan Technique, thus lowering the requirements for inheritance and achieving the effect of "getting on the train first and paying the ticket later." It's not that he didn't receive additional benefits, but rather that he successfully inherited the technique by leveraging the effects of those benefits.

Hunzhen is the orthodox route; you buy a ticket first, then board the train, and enjoy the benefits only after passing on the tradition.

While the three major improvements in resources, secret techniques, and soul were not unimportant, the enhancement of world authority and the acquisition of a gold-level mentor were indeed more significant for Hunzhen.

Being a jack of all trades is not as good as mastering one.

The God King of Jin focused on the path of divine power and did not have a sufficient understanding of the path of supreme laws.

However, he possesses the vision of a god-king. While he may not be able to guide Hunzhen, he can provide Hunzhen with insightful answers to some of Hunzhen's questions, drawing upon his god-king level of understanding.

As a result, the long-stagnant "empty realm" began to improve significantly once again.

On the other hand, with the enhancement of world authority, Hunzhen can directly utilize the world origin power of the Jin world, and naturally becomes more adept at observing fragments of world rules.

At this point, Hunzhen had made progress to varying degrees in all five directions he had planned for his own path of advancement in the world of Jin.

Firstly, he hopes to glean supreme secrets from the "Art of Countless Origins." Although he hasn't grasped it yet, he has already mastered the "Art of Countless Origins" and may gain some insights in the future.

Secondly, the time required for a breakthrough in willpower has been shortened by hundreds or thousands of times.

Thirdly, the discovery of the God-King's secrets is almost perfect. One person discovered fragments of the world's rules, and the other received direct instruction from the God-King. How could this not be considered perfect?

Fourth, he continued his cultivation on the path of the void, and under the guidance of the God-King, he finally underwent some changes.

Fifth, to allow one's abilities to evolve once again...

He could already sense that as his will continued to approach the Saint level, as he constantly observed fragments of the world's rules in simulations and reality, and as he analyzed the essence of the world under the guidance of the God King, the evolution of his abilities was just around the corner.

He could vaguely see the paper-thin shackles right in front of him.

Having acquired most of the things that Hunzhen was eager to obtain, what followed was naturally a long period of cultivation.

This is because Hunzhen inherited the Lieyuan Technique and completed the mission of being granted a title.

After Luo Feng only received the reward for the seventh floor of Wuqi Tower, he learned that Wuqi Tower had already been cleared by Hunzhen.

Therefore, the God King of Jin did not discover that Luo Feng possessed the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" using the Law Cage.

The world of Jin was peaceful and tranquil.

In the blink of an eye, the first thousandth era of the Jin Dynasty has passed.

With the help of the Zerg Queen, Mohe had already completed the absorption of the isolated True God Universe and set its sights on the True God who had long resided in the Jin World.

Every step leaves a trace.

Gradually, a rustling sound arose in the cosmic sea, and forces began to investigate the clues and signs of the incident.

However, this was just a joint action by some small forces out of fear. The major forces were still focused on the excavation of the ancient civilization of Jinzhi World, and only paid slight attention to the so-called undercurrents, without taking it too seriously.

The Zerg Queen is adept at manipulating people's hearts and minds, and naturally knows how to conceal her whereabouts as much as possible, always managing to hide during the period when the search is most intense.

As time passed, no one discovered any direct clues, and the rumors about "the existence of a dark force targeting smaller powers within the world of Jin" gradually subsided.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Jin world, cheers from the Divine Eye Clan quietly resounded.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Hahaha! I've cultivated to the point where I can fight against the God of Time and Space!"

That was the joyful cheer of the Third True Lord, currently the strongest among the Divine Eye Clan.

After more than a thousand epochs, the strength of the three True Lords has improved considerably, and the Third True Lord himself has finally broken through the bottleneck, reaching the level of the former First True Lord under immense pressure and with the opportunities of the Jin World!

The strongest True God level! (Ninth level of the Cosmic Sea)

With such strength, within this world of Jin, he could unleash the power of the so-called eleventh level of the Cosmic Sea on his own! The power that the God of Space-Time used to kill so many of their brothers!

In addition, with the mechanical treasures they exchanged for their accumulated military merits, it was easy for the three of them to unleash power at the level of a Void True God when they joined forces!

Most importantly, after a thousand epochs have passed, and after they have worked hard and strived to reach this level, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the God of Time and Space was still at the level of the Lord of the Universe!

Once they break through to the True God realm, all their avatars and incarnations will inevitably have to come together. And within the primordial universe, they can always confirm the presence of the Time and Space God's aura, so they are absolutely certain of the accuracy of this news!

"The chance for revenge has finally arrived!"

The fifth God was also fanatical.

The Third True One's face twisted in a ferocious grin: "The rest is up to finding that guy within this Jin world!"

The Fifth True Lord's expression was grave. He said, "Third Brother, the God of Time and Space possesses the ability to create clones. In this world of Jin, it's most likely just one clone. If he self-destructs midway and, out of fear after our attack, chooses to break through, then we're finished! This is our only chance!"

The Third True Lord nodded silently: "We only have two methods. One is to use swift and decisive methods to annihilate the soul! The other is to find a master of soul illusion techniques to influence the God of Time and Space with secret soul arts, preventing the God of Time and Space from self-destructing, weakening him continuously before annihilating his soul!"

Destroying a soul through a clone is more difficult than destroying it through the main body. Therefore, the Third True Lord naturally prefers the latter.

Unfortunately, none of the three brothers were particularly skilled in matters of the soul.

"Therefore, we need to find a skilled expert in the field of soul-searching as soon as possible!"

The fifth God nodded in approval.

The Third God suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice, "Let's wait for Sixth Brother to return. We'll send him to gather information about that Time-Space God. We've already seen some initial clues, and perhaps this time we can find traces of that Time-Space God!"

Suddenly, the Third Allah's expression darkened, and he abruptly swept his hand towards the forest, shouting sharply, "Who's there!"

Rustling sound—

As the leaves fluttered, a stunningly beautiful gray-haired woman appeared—the Zerg Queen.

Upon seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the Third God's expression grew even more somber.

The Zerg Queen is a being from the third era of reincarnation, just like the Time God. If she were to go and report to the Time God now...

"Hehehe. Respected Star Lord, there is no need to worry."

The Zerg Queen seemed to have read the Third True Lord's mind. She parted her lips slightly and giggled, saying, "I am not your enemy. If you intend to deal with that God of Time and Space, we are allies on the same side."

"Oh?"

The Third True One did not relinquish his suspicions, but his expression softened somewhat as he asked, "Insect Queen, as far as I know, you don't have much conflict with that God of Time and Space. What, do you really think I can believe such fabricated nonsense?"

The Zerg Queen did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject, saying, "Star Lord, I already know the location of the Time God you are looking for. Besides, I know better than you how many great things that person has accomplished and how much astonishing fame they have made in this Jin World."

The Zerg Queen grinned, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "While you're advancing and breaking through, that one isn't standing still either. As far as I know, a thousand epochs ago, an invincible True God who had survived even facing a Void True God fell at her hands. If you ask me, even your three True Lords of the Divine Eye Clan don't have a shred of hope of defeating her!"

The Third God's expression immediately turned ugly.

To be honest, he had considered what the Zerg Queen had said. However, once he had imagined it, he saw almost no hope of revenge, so he deliberately ignored this point before actually taking action.

However, this fig leaf has now been directly torn away by the Zerg Queen.

The Third God couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are you trying to say?!"

"Don't be so impatient. Has this behavior made you forget the glory and pride of the Divine Eye Clan?"

The Zerg Queen shook her head, seemingly disappointed, and continued, "Even if the God of Time and Space is indeed incredibly powerful, what good will it do to continue to eke out a living like this? To live a pathetic existence, like a rat in a sewer waiting for the end of reincarnation to turn into a pile of dust? Haven't you ever thought about... a different way of living?"

The Zerg Queen raised her jade-like hand, her palm seemingly about to grasp something.

The aura of the Third God surged: "A different way of life? By your own power? A mere, unremarkable newcomer just born in this cycle of reincarnation?"

"No, I'm not even as good as you, Star Lord, how could I have such a pointless fantasy?"

The Zerg Queen revealed a beautiful smile, and from her palm rose a jet-black divine power, completely different from that of any other living being in the cosmic sea.

She said with utmost reverence, "Of course, it's thanks to my great master~ Yes, who will also be your future master..."
