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

He carefully channeled the remaining energy of the time crystal core into the singularity world.

Under the control of consciousness, the crystal core slowly sank into the "sun" at the center of the world, which was the core of starlight condensation.

The moment the two came into contact, the singularity world trembled violently!

The phantom stars began to move along specific orbits, no longer floating randomly.

The energy cycle exhibited cyclical changes resembling the alternation of day and night, and even at the edge of the world, the most basic sense of the "passage of time" began to emerge.

Time within this world began to subtly diverge from time to time outside.

it's time.

Qin Yuan swallowed all three bottles of Starshine Essence. A vast amount of energy surged in, propelling the Singularity World to expand wildly.

360 kilometers, 380 kilometers, 400 kilometers...

When the world's diameter exceeded 420 kilometers, a qualitative change occurred.

Suddenly, the phantom stars within the world lit up simultaneously, connecting with each other by light to form a three-dimensional star map covering the entire world.

The star map slowly rotated, emanating profound fluctuations of laws. Meanwhile, the barriers between worlds condensed from blurry energy boundaries into a translucent "world membrane"—the nascent form of a world within a World Lord's inner world!

Domain Lord Ninth Rank Peak, Breakthrough!

Qin Yuan opened his eyes, and starlight shot out three meters as if it were real, before slowly receding after a long time.

He felt the surging power within his body; the total amount of star power had increased three times compared to when he was in the early stage of the ninth level of the Domain Lord, and the purity of the energy had also increased by a level.

"We haven't reached our limit yet, keep going."

In the following period, Qin Yuan consolidated his realm while continuing to absorb the remaining resources, steadily pushing his cultivation to the limit of the ninth level of the Domain Lord.

When the last ray of light-based material was refined, the diameter of his singularity world was fixed at 500 kilometers.

Inside the world, the four laws of starlight, space, lightning, and time coexist harmoniously, forming a miniature but structurally complete "microcosm".

Starlight is the source of energy and light, space is the framework and dimension, lightning is vitality and cycle, and time is order and change.

This is Qin Yuan's peak as a Domain Lord.

Its foundation is incredibly solid; the 'singularity' world within its body, containing four laws, is dozens of times more powerful than that of an ordinary ninth-level domain lord.

Correspondingly, his combat strength reached a terrifying level.

Qin Yuan assessed his current strength:

In normal circumstances, thanks to the fusion of the four laws and the spacetime optoelectronic domain, his combat power is comparable to that of a top-tier second-tier World Lord.

In burst mode, using the Tri-Phase Annihilation Spear - Time Sequence Edition, combined with Astral Descent, can temporarily reach the threshold of the third-tier Realm Lord, threatening even mid-tier Realm Lord powerhouses. If the attack boost from the affixes is taken into account, it becomes terrifying.

Once the "[Keep playing the music, keep dancing (blue)]" entry is activated, a complete breakthrough to a higher realm is achieved...

"Immortal gods are within reach."

Qin Yuan stood up and stretched. He had been in seclusion for ten months in the time-accelerated chamber, while only a month had passed in the outside world, yet he had undergone tremendous changes.

From the late stage of the seventh level of Domain Lord to the limit of the ninth level of Domain Lord, his cultivation level has improved by several small steps; he has comprehended the laws of light to the limit of perfection and entered the initial stage of the laws of time; he has created killing moves and composite domains, and his foundation is as deep as an abyss.

"It's time to get out of seclusion."

Qin Yuan pressed the end button inside the secret room.

A soft light enveloped him, and the flow of time slowly returned to normal from ten times.

When the door to the secret room reopens, the light from the outside floods in, creating a strange sense of "time reversal".

He stepped out, his aura completely concealed, making him look like an ordinary ninth-level domain lord.

But only he himself knew the immense power hidden within him.

What follows will be a two-and-a-half-year "opening period," and... transformation!

......

The corridor outside the time-accelerated secret room on the seventh floor of Shenhuang City.

Qin Yuan stood before the slowly closing door of the A-007 secret room, feeling the surging power within him that was almost overflowing.

The cultivation level of the ninth rank of Domain Lord, the singularity world of four laws, the spacetime aurora domain... all of this signifies that he has already stood at the very peak of the Domain Lord level. One more step forward will be the threshold of the World Lord level.

But he doesn't intend to skip this step through asceticism.

"It's time to activate the entry."

Qin Yuan's thoughts sank into the depths of his consciousness, where ten talent attribute slots floated, nine of which were already occupied.

His gaze was fixed on the entry for "[Keep playing music, keep dancing (blue)]".

The description is clear: After activation, if the host chooses to abandon cultivation for the next two and a half years, events such as "the music continues, the dance continues" and "listening to music in brothels" will occur... Within these two and a half years, the host's cultivation level will gradually rise by one major realm, limited to those below the Immortal Realm...

"Activate the entry".

Qin Yuan silently recited this in his heart.

Instantly, a strange warm current surged from the depths of my consciousness and flowed throughout my body.

This energy did not enhance his cultivation or change his understanding of the laws, but instead planted a "rule imprint" within him, a contract imprint that subtly resonated with the fundamental laws of the universe.

Qin Yuan could clearly perceive the effect of the mark:

For the next two and a half years, he will be unable to engage in any form of cultivation.

One cannot actively use cultivation techniques to absorb energy, comprehend the laws, or create secret techniques. Even after consciously manipulating the energy within the body for combat, one must immediately stop the energy circulation and cannot use it for cultivation.

If violated, the entry will lose its effect.

However, the mark also brings an advantage: he can clearly perceive the "progress bar" of the entry.

A vague countdown appeared in his mind: 912 days, and a completion rate that slowly increased from 0%. When the completion rate reached 100%, a major breakthrough would automatically occur.

“Nana, start.”

Qin Yuan walked out of the secret chamber area and came to the bustling streets of Shenhuang City.

Instead of returning to the hotel where he had been staying, he went directly to the "real estate transaction area" on the seventh floor.

As a border hub of the Wilderness Universe Kingdom, Shenhuang City has extremely valuable land resources, but Qin Yuan still has some funds on hand.

This amount of money would be enough to buy a nice courtyard in Shenhuang City.

Inside the transaction area, countless property listings scroll across a virtual screen.

Qin Yuan's selection criteria: independent courtyard, with its own basic defensive formation, relatively quiet but not remote location, and price within 50 Hunyuan.

Ten minutes later, he spotted a courtyard on the edge of the third district.

"Courtyard No. C-1779, covering an area of ​​three acres, with an architectural style of 'Ancient Oriental Garden', comes with a fourth-level defensive formation 'Five Elements Rotation Formation', and is equipped with an intelligent butler system. The original owner is selling urgently due to going to the battlefield outside the domain. The price is 48 Hunyuan."

The intermediary was a short, crystal-clan person who spoke extremely fast:

“If you make payment today, I can waive the 5% transaction tax.”

After conducting an on-site inspection, Qin Yuan made the payment on the spot.

The procedures were completed at the Virtual Universe Notary Office, and three minutes later, the property ownership was transferred to his anonymous identity.

Courtyard C-1779 is situated on a gentle slope on the west side of the third district, backed by an artificial bamboo forest, and overlooking a large part of the Divine Wilderness City in front.

The courtyard wall is made of bluish-gray star-patterned stone, with faint energy patterns flowing across its surface.

Pushing open the vermilion gate, one is greeted by pavilions and towers arranged in a pleasing manner, with small bridges and flowing water, creating a striking contrast to the cold, metallic overall style of Shenhuang City.

What pleased Qin Yuan the most was that there was an energy vein flowing beneath the courtyard. Although the concentration was insufficient to support cultivation, it could fill the environment with vitality.

Moreover, the location is relatively remote, with the nearest neighbor being only 300 meters away, which meets his need to keep a low profile and hide away.

"For the next two and a half years, this will be my 'open shop' base."

On his first day after moving in, Qin Yuan did nothing.

He sat in the pavilion in the center of the courtyard all day, brewing a pot of "Star Mist Tea" he had bought from the trading area, watching the clouds drift and the artificial sky unfold, letting time pass by.

This is an adaptation period, adapting to life without cultivation.

For a cultivator who has been striving since the Earth era, fighting life and death on ancient star paths, and adventuring in the dark star belt, suddenly stopping to "enjoy life" is a challenge in itself.

Qin Yuan needs to redefine the meaning of "time": no longer something to be rushed for breakthroughs, but a consumer good that can be squandered at will.

The next day, he began to decorate the courtyard.

You can't cultivate, but you can study some "trinkets".

Qin Yuan bought a batch of basic materials from the trading area: light-element crystals, energy wires, smart chips, illusion generators... and then began to modify the courtyard's defense system.

The "Five Elements Revolving Array" left behind by the original owner is only a standard fourth-order array. It can defend against attacks from Domain Lords below the sixth order, but it is useless against high-order Domain Lords or World Lords.

What Qin Yuan needed to do was not to upgrade the formation's level, which falls under the category of cultivation, but to add "functional modules".

He used light-based crystals to arrange seventy-two "refractive prisms" around the courtyard wall. These prisms do not generate energy; they simply reflect and refract light.

When used with an illusion generator, it can create visual illusions around the courtyard. From the outside, the courtyard will appear to be 30 meters away from its original position, and the view will be a delayed image from 10 minutes ago.

They also buried 360 vibration sensors underground, which are connected to the smart home system.

If any unauthorized creature enters within 100 meters of the courtyard, the system will determine its type, strength, and number based on the vibration frequency and automatically trigger the corresponding level of alarm.

He also modified the lighting system in the courtyard, replacing energy lamps with natural organisms called "fluorescent moss".

Moss absorbs free energy from the air to emit light, which, though dim, is sufficient for illumination and creates a tranquil atmosphere.

These modifications took Qin Yuan half a month to complete.

Throughout the process, he strictly adhered to the restrictions of the entry: all work relied on manual skills and basic physical principles, without ever using internal energy for assistance, and without ever thinking about any issues related to the laws.

Two weeks later, the courtyard was completely transformed.

From the outside, it looks unremarkable, but inside it has been transformed into an elegant residence full of oriental charm, and it is full of hidden warning mechanisms.

"It's time to go out for a walk."

Qin Yuan changed into a loose blue robe, his hair was casually tied up, and a wine gourd hung at his waist, which contained "Blazing Wine," a specialty of Shenhuang City. He looked like an ordinary, carefree cultivator.

His first stop was the "Arena of Ten Thousand Races" in the third district.

This is one of the liveliest places in Shenhuang City. Inside the circular building with a diameter of three kilometers, dozens of life-or-death battles take place every day.

The participants came from all races, and the gamblers came from all walks of life.
