Swallowing the Stars: I'll Destroy the Universe with My Talent Attributes

Three days later, the Starfire arrived at the transit station outside Shenhuang City.

Qin Yuan bid farewell to the Spark Squad, piloted his Starmark, and quietly departed.

Instead of returning to Shenhuang City, he went to a secluded wilderness deep within the wilderness, where gravity was disordered and the space was complex, making it the most suitable place for secluded cultivation.

Inside the Starmark ship's cabin, Qin Yuan took out the Time Crystal and felt the time laws flowing within it.

"Next, I'll take some time to digest all my gains and raise my cultivation to the peak of the ninth level of Domain Lord."

"Then, activate the [Keep Playing, Keep Dancing (Blue)] entry, using two and a half years of 'opening up' to achieve a breakthrough in a major realm, as well as the imprint of the law..."

"World Lord level...not far off...Immortal level, not far off either..."

The spaceship transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the darkness of the wasteland.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the universe, at the Shadow Clan headquarters.

Deep within a palace entirely composed of shadows, the figure on the throne opened his eyes. In his hand, a black chip was playing the final scene of Qin Yuan killing Shadow Fiend.

"Starlight Laws... Aura of Time... Suspected projection of a Realm Lord..."

A hoarse voice echoed through the palace.

"Order: Bounty offered for a 'Star-level' target, codenamed 'Time Hunter'. 100,000 Chaos Yuan will be awarded to the person who provides the exact coordinates, and the person who kills the target will be rewarded with one chance to inherit immortality."

The Shadow Clan's kill order has been quietly issued.

......

The spaceship glided through the rubble of the frontier wilderness, like a silver fish swimming in the dark seabed.

Qin Yuan shut down all active detection systems, leaving only a minimal amount of passive sensing. The spaceship's engines operated at 10% power, and its trajectory was deliberately concealed behind a natural zone of spatial turbulence.

This was a skill he learned after many adventures: the most dangerous areas are often the safest hiding places.

After a three-day voyage, he chose a rogue planet with a diameter of about 80,000 kilometers as his temporary landing point.

The planet's surface is covered with impact craters, it has no atmosphere, and the temperature remains at minus 200 degrees Celsius year-round.

Qin Yuan parked the spaceship at the bottom of a canyon 100,000 meters deep, activated the optical camouflage and energy shielding systems, and the spaceship instantly blended into the surrounding rock walls.

After confirming that there was no crisis response in the entry, he began to take stock of all his gains from this trip to the Aurora Realm Main World.

Inside the world ring, items float in categories:

1. Fist-sized crystal with a flowing, iridescent halo.

2. Secret scriptures: The complete transmission of "True Explanation of Aurora", fragments of "Fundamentals of Time Flow", etc.

3. Auxiliary Resources: Refraction Prism Core, Focusing Essence, Spectrum Adjuster, Light Speed ​​Rune, Light and Shadow Weaving... These are the rewards for the Seven Trials.

4. Loot: Shadowfiend's World Ring, containing approximately 200 Mixed Elemental Units of wealth and various materials, core fragments of twelve Light Condensed Gold Puppets, and the Time Core of the Lighttime Beast...

Other: The Seven-Star Token, now merely a souvenir with seven stars already lit, contains a large amount of light-elemental materials...

Chapter 199 Selling Everything

Qin Yuan picked up the Time Crystal first.

The moment I touched it, I felt a strange sensation on my palm, not a change in temperature, but a manifestation of the "passage of time".

The cells in the contact area seemed to divide at an accelerated rate and then reverse; this contradictory feeling would have driven an ordinary person insane if not for his strong will.

"The power of the Time Law manifests..."

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and sensed that the attributes such as "Exceptional Talent (Blue)" were activated, and began to analyze the internal structure of the crystal.

Crystals are not physical entities, but rather aggregates of energy woven from countless tiny “time runes.”

Each rune records the essence of a period of time: from the quantum fluctuations of Planck time to the vicissitudes of cosmic eras. If one can fully comprehend it, it is enough to allow an ordinary realm lord to touch the threshold of the laws of time.

But Qin Yuan doesn't need to comprehend it now; he only needs to utilize the crystal's most basic function: time acceleration.

According to the fragments of the "Fundamentals of Time Flow", the Time Crystal has two uses: one is to wear it on your person, which will passively grant you a three-fold time flow bonus, lasting until the crystal's energy is exhausted, a duration of about a hundred years.

Secondly, it can be actively stimulated to create a local time acceleration field, which can reach up to ten times the flow rate, but it consumes a lot of resources. A fist-sized crystal can only maintain an acceleration equivalent to one year in the outside world.

Qin Yuan decisively chose the second option.

What he lacks now is time.

"The next step is to monetize some of the resources to obtain what is needed for the retreat."

He looked at the spoils of war that he could no longer use.

The Shadow Shaman's World Ring contains valuables worth approximately 200 Chaos Units, but most of them are materials and weapons exclusive to the Shadow Clan, which Qin Yuan cannot use. Moreover, making a rash move would easily attract the Shadow Clan's pursuit.

He carefully selected three items that could be safely converted into cash:

A damaged Tier 4 peak Shadow Armor, after repair, could probably be sold for 20-30 Mixed Yuan Units.

Qin Yuan initially estimated that each of the three Dark Ability Enlightenment Crystals could be sold for 5 Mixed Yuan Units, along with thirteen pieces of high-purity "Shadow Iron." The total value of these refining materials was around 12 Mixed Yuan Units.

Besides these, the core fragments of the Light Condensed Gold Golem can also be sold for money.

Light Condensed Gold is the core material for making light-type puppets. A fist-sized fragment is worth 2 Mixed Yuan, and he has twelve of them.

In addition to some unused resources and treasures such as Light and Shadow Weaving, these can be converted into cash and are expected to yield around 120 Mixed Yuan Units.

"Enough to rent a World Lord-level time acceleration chamber in Shenhuang City."

Qin Yuan calculated: "But we need to act in batches and through multiple channels to avoid being targeted quickly."

He devised a detailed plan:

The first step is to return to Shenhuang City and sell Light Condensation Gold Fragments and Light Shadow Cloth through the public channels of the "Star Sea Chamber of Commerce". These two items are common light-type materials and will not attract attention. It is expected to earn 30 Mixed Yuan.

The second step is to use this money to purchase "Star Dew" and rent the Time Acceleration Chamber.

The third step was to sell Shadow Clan items in batches through the online black market channels of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom's virtual universe during the secluded retreat.

The virtual universe network offers anonymous transactions; although the fees are high, its security is a major advantage...

With the plan set, Qin Yuan did not rush to leave. Instead, he activated the spaceship's wide-range scanning and monitoring function to confirm that there was no other cosmic life within a million miles before sitting cross-legged in the spaceship's training room.

His Starlight Law has been perfected. If he so desires, he can invoke a portion of the universe's primordial law will at any time, thereby allowing his law comprehension to be recognized by the 'Universe Primordial Law' and obtain the corresponding law imprint.

During this process, some unusual phenomena may occur on a small scale.

In the Divine Wilderness City or other places where people gather, reaching this level as a high-level Domain Lord, and with the Starlight Law imprint, would easily expose his identity.

When that happens, the demon race's spies among the human race will definitely deduce from this incident that they have already hidden in the Divine Wilderness City in the border region of the Ancient Wheel Universe Kingdom, which would be troublesome.

It's important to understand that the cost of killing a human genius below the Immortal level is completely different from that of a human powerhouse above the Immortal level.

Immortal level, condensed divine body, expanding divine kingdom, life aura permeates every part of the divine kingdom, extremely difficult to kill.

Putting yourself in his shoes, the demon race would stop at nothing to deal with him...

Therefore, the best way is to go to a secluded place and quietly obtain the imprint of the law, without anyone noticing.

Of course, there could be unexpected events, but Qin Yuan has the "Fortune Favors (Blue)" attribute, which currently shows no signs of danger. It's time for him to gain the 'recognition of the fundamental laws of the universe'!

Inside the spaceship's training room, Qin Yuan sat cross-legged.

With most of his attention focused on the 'Singularity World' within his body, at the center of the 'Singularity World,' the 'Origin of Starlight,' condensed from a lifetime of insights, was trembling violently, as if pulsating in resonance with billions of stars in the distant deep space.

When the last barrier between "light" and "illusion" was completely pierced, the fundamental laws of the universe were touched.

There was no sound, but time seemed to freeze for a million miles around.

Immediately afterwards, at an infinite height, an indescribable expanse appeared out of thin air, its colors and a dazzling starry dome. It was not a reflection, but a partial descent of the very essence of the cosmic origin, the laws of starlight.

At the center of the dome, a drop of pure, ultimate light fell.

It was neither liquid nor solid; it was more like the entire Milky Way compressed into flowing diamond starlight, which went straight into Qin Yuan's brow.

In an instant, his body transformed from mortal to transparent, with billions of points of light bursting forth from every inch of his flesh, bones, and even soul. These were starlight memories, deposited deep within his life and originating from the dust of ancient stars, now fully awakened, refined, and sublimated.

When one is recognized by the fundamental laws, what is even more dangerous is the "Star Silence Heart Demon Tribulation" that follows.

His consciousness was thrown into the absolute darkness of the universe, where all the stars in his perception went out one by one, and the cold and loneliness, like billions of years of ice, tried to freeze and annihilate the meaning of his existence.

Qin Yuan's Dao heart, hardened by countless life-and-death trials, was as solid as a neutron star core, igniting an inextinguishable spark in absolute silence, illuminating and upholding the original point of his will: "I am the light."

Boom~

The inner demons dissipate, and the universe resonates.

That drop of "Starlight Origin" completely merged with the core of his soul, and imprinted an eternal nebula emblem on his brow.

The miniature nebula rotates slowly, with a single, sharp starlight at its core that pierces through all illusions.

The moment the brand took shape, all the star debris within a million miles lit up simultaneously, paying homage to him as if welcoming the birth of a new star lord.

Qin Yuan opened his eyes, and within them, the stars seemed to rise and fall.

With every gesture, without any deliberate manipulation, the surrounding cosmic energy spontaneously transformed into gentle starlight. From that moment on, he became the walking embodiment of the laws of starlight, a darling recognized by the origin of the universe, and the gates to immortality burst open before him.

The law has been imprinted!

......

The next morning, a regular D-series spaceship quietly took off and headed towards the City of the Divine Wasteland.

The return trip went smoothly.

A few days later, the spaceship passed through the energy shield of the Divine Wilderness City again and docked at the public spaceport in the third district.

After calming his aura of law, Qin Yuan changed into a plain black battle suit and put on the "Illusion Mask" he had previously purchased from the trading area. This mask could change his facial features and aura. Combined with the "Illusion Bead" and other methods he had purchased before, although it could not fool an Immortal-level person, it was definitely enough to fool a Domain Lord-level or World Lord-level person.

Having changed his appearance, Qin Yuan first arrived at the Xinghai Chamber of Commerce's branch on the seventh floor.

This is a giant building covering tens of thousands of square meters, shaped like a horizontal silver coin.

The hall was bustling with people, with customers of dozens of races trading at various counters.

Qin Yuan went straight to the "materials acquisition area" and waited in line for five minutes before it was his turn.

The staff member behind the counter was a member of the mechanical race. Six robotic arms were simultaneously processing three transactions. The main sensor turned to Qin Yuan: "Please show the goods."

Qin Yuan took out twelve fragments of Light Condensed Gold and Light and Shadow Fabric from the World Ring and placed them on the testing platform.

The robotic arm extends a scanning beam and provides an assessment after three seconds:

"Light-Condensed Gold Fragments, purity 92%-95%, total weight 18.4 kg, at the current market price of 1.6 Hunyuan per kg, totaling 29.44 Hunyuan. Light-Shadow Weaving, a third-tier special defensive material, appraised value 14.8 Hunyuan. Total 44.24 Hunyuan. Accept?"
