I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Although he encountered many setbacks and even paid a price in the process of growing up, fortunately, these prices were within his ability to bear. He believed that as long as he could become stronger, these sacrifices would be worthwhile and meaningful. That's why Luo Yuan has always persisted, because he is well aware that the universe is very vast.

Many of the strong among them can only truly control their own destiny and protect everything by reaching a higher level. Luo Yuan desperately didn't want to be wiped out by some force one day on his path of growth, even though the possibility of such a situation was small, it wasn't entirely impossible.

After all, many powerful individuals perish inexplicably because they don't understand what they're dealing with. Moreover, there are many conflicts between different powerful individuals, and they often fight each other. If it weren't for those incredibly powerful individuals who have been silently contributing and protecting them, they would be in danger.

It's impossible for all life forms in the universe to live such a peaceful and quiet life forever. That's why the ruler of this universe attaches so much importance to the cultivation of future powerful beings, whether they are creator gods or super-powerful beings whose strength has risen to a level comparable to the ruler of the universe.

These powerful individuals possess unparalleled status and authority, enabling them to mobilize the resources of the entire universe for their own use. However, the pressure they bear is far greater than that of any other powerful individual, because they must be prepared to fight against super-powerful beings from other universes at any time, and they may also perish at any moment. In fact, the advantages and disadvantages are relatively balanced.

Luo Yuan may also become one of these powerful figures on his path to growth, having to pay a corresponding price to protect the peace of the universe. Luo Yuan knows that this is something he cannot avoid, and as he grows stronger, the level of things he comes into contact with will also become higher and higher.

This would inevitably lead to conflicts with powerful beings from other universes. Of course, the best way to resolve these problems is to transcend oneself in this universe and become a more powerful controller. In that case, no other powerful being from any other universe would dare to attack one's own universe, thus solving the problem at its core.

Therefore, many universes spare no expense to cultivate super geniuses in order to nurture them and make them stronger, thereby bringing true peace to their universe. However, the problem is that cultivating such super-strong individuals requires a large amount of resources. If one only relies on the power and resources of their own universe, it is actually very difficult to reach this level.

Therefore, the only way to achieve this is by plundering resources from other universes. This is a very important reason why many universes fight each other. Of course, the key factor is actually the fighting mechanism created by the rules of their respective universes, which form a balance.

When any universe is formed, the rules that emerge within it must primarily aim to maintain the normal operation of the entire universe. Therefore, any powerful entities that emerge within the universe must abide by these rules. However, the formation of a universe is not solely for this purpose.

Their goal is also to cultivate more super geniuses so that they can transcend and become powerful beings who create the universe, bringing them more benefits. Therefore, after any universe is created, it is impossible for the evolved beings to remain without any competition. Instead, they are made to become stronger through constant competition, thus forming and cultivating the most powerful geniuses.

Only in this way can more super-strong individuals be continuously formed, and the benefits they ultimately bring are what the super-strong individuals of the entire universe are willing to see. Therefore, whether it is to cultivate future super-strong individuals or to maintain the orderly operation of the universe, it is necessary to keep the strong individuals in different universes constantly fighting in order to maintain the vitality of the entire universe.

As for the powerful beings in the universe, many will perish during battles, experiencing life and death separations. This is a necessary process for any powerful being. Moreover, according to the rules of the universe, the fall of a small number of powerful beings can only be considered a scene formed under normal rules.

The reason why the Great Dao is said to be ruthless is because, for such rules, they have no such feelings at all, and they do not care about the fall of a few lives, because to them it is just an ordinary number. Luo Yuan did not want to become one of those insignificant sacrifices of powerful people.

Therefore, although he constantly cultivates to break free from the shackles of the highest cosmic rules and truly control his own destiny, he may even be able to control the entire universe. For those truly ambitious and powerful individuals, this is impossible; they would rather be controlled by anything.

Instead, they possess a very positive fighting spirit, wanting to control everything they have, and even, in turn, control all things. This is what true powerhouses should pursue. Therefore, no matter the cost, Luo Yuan must do his best to complete this test in this Origin Temple, which further strengthened his belief.

Compared to Luo Yuan, he had come here with great difficulty, and such an opportunity only comes once. It would be a pity to miss it. Moreover, the geniuses here could not even get such an opportunity. Furthermore, as Luo Yuan continued to integrate more cultivation systems, he gained a clearer understanding of some of the rules of the universe.

This is because the universe he exists in is just one of many universes, so the number of true cosmic rules involved is very small, and there are only a few. Therefore, Luo Yuan can now understand more about the core origins by integrating more cultivation systems, and thus analyze the laws formed by the evolution of those cosmic rules.

Regardless of the combat methods or cultivation systems, they all analyze and understand the rules of the universe they live in, summarize various different laws, and then, based on these laws, deduce various cultivation techniques that can help them achieve extraordinary abilities by taking into account their environment and structure.

This led to the development of powerful cultivation civilizations. In essence, these cultivation systems are the state that can be achieved by analyzing and perfectly applying the rules of the universe. Conversely, one can also deduce some of the rules and forces of the universe by analyzing these so-called cultivation systems and techniques.

Moreover, according to some data that Luo Yuan learned, in order to reach the level of the universe controller, one must have a very clear understanding and control of the various rules of the entire universe in order to truly achieve transcendence. This is because after reaching a higher level of strength, what they need to understand and control are the most essential and core things, namely the power of the rules.

As for all the combat methods and forms of expression, they are nothing more than the application of the power of the rules. Therefore, the most efficient way is to ignore these forms and look directly at the essence. Luo Yuan can clearly see the various powerful forms of the original power contained within them by constantly integrating these origins and in the process of perfect application and integration.

Luo Yuan felt that if he could control all the rules and powers of the universe, he could merge them into the most powerful primordial core. Such a core was the powerful inheritance possessed by the universe's controller. However, Luo Yuan also knew that he couldn't do such a thing while undergoing the test here.

Because the cost and time required are too great, it is completely meaningless. The purpose of the test is to examine whether Luo Yuan has the talent and potential to integrate different cultivation civilization systems and rule powers. As long as he has such ability, then he has completed the most important prerequisite.

Moreover, fusing different origin cores is more difficult than fusing cultivation methods, but the benefits are also greater. In the process of continuous fusion, Luo Yuan also felt the various magnificent and powerful forces brought by different cultivation civilizations. These forms of expression can be created entirely at his own will.

In other words, as long as Luo Yuan controls these fundamental cores, he can construct any form of expression according to his own ideas, and he can also control various powerful forces. However, only by becoming the controller of the universe can he truly control the rules of the universe.

His current level is clearly insufficient, so if he can truly obtain the inheritance, he will need to spend a lot of time cultivating, not only to improve his cultivation level, but also to deepen his understanding and control of these rule powers in the process of improving his strength.

Mastering such profound knowledge cannot be achieved overnight; it can only be achieved through gradual accumulation on one's own. No powerful figure can provide assistance, as it entirely depends on individual development. Some powerful individuals possess exceptional comprehension abilities and can even master the rules and become super-powerful within a very short period of time.

However, such geniuses are very rare. In all the years of continuous battles, training and selection throughout the universe, no genius has yet met such conditions. Although Luo Yuan dares not say that he can definitely achieve it, he will do his best to accomplish it.

Moreover, it is very clear from his battles with those geniuses that Luo Yuan's strength and various talents have reached their peak. In other words, Luo Yuan's talent and abilities are absolutely number one in the entire universe, and no one is stronger than him.

Luo Yuan didn't know how he reached this level, but it was very likely related to the methods he used in his previous cultivation. When Luo Yuan was cultivating, he had reached the limit of every step from the very beginning until now, which is why he was able to accumulate such heaven-defying power and talent.

Luo Yuan's current strength can be said to be greater than any Hunyuan Lord, and can be directly compared to those creator gods. You must know that Luo Yuan is only a world-class Hunyuan expert. He has not yet truly broken through to become a Hunyuan Lord, but he already has such great strength.

Luo Yuan used to think that Lord Hunyuan was the most powerful being in the entire universe, but the more he came into contact with and the higher the level he reached, the more he realized that Lord Hunyuan was just the beginning of everything, and was not as powerful as he had imagined. There were many more powerful beings than that level.

However, this is a very good thing for Luo Yuan, because he can continue to grow and become stronger. Luo Yuan is very curious about what the end of this universe is like. Perhaps it will be more powerful and glorious than he imagined. Even if it is an infinite world, Luo Yuan will go and explore it. Luo Yuan is not worried that the world is infinitely vast.

As long as he continues to grow, he will eventually be able to know the truth of the entire universe. Although it is indeed difficult to truly integrate the original cores of these different cultivation systems at the beginning, as Luo Yuan continues to improve his strength and solves all the problems in these integration systems, his integration efficiency becomes higher and higher.

After all, as long as you have the relevant experience, there is no significant difference in the overall process. However, some cultivation systems are powerful while others are weak, so the difficulty of their integration is definitely different. Luo Yuan doesn't know how many multiverses there are in the entire independent universe, but the number of multiverses he is currently in is definitely large.

His ability to witness the proficiency of these multiverses during the assessment will be subject to a very large limitation, perhaps less than one percent or one thousandth of the total. As long as Luo Yuan integrates all these cultivation systems, he believes that his strength can be greatly improved.

Then he will definitely be able to complete the first level of the test of the universe controller. As Luo Yuan was integrating various skilled civilizations, the universe controller was observing him. This supreme being was usually very busy because he needed to maintain the orderly operation of the entire universe and resist the attacks of powerful beings from the outside universe.

Therefore, he rarely has time to learn about the experiences of those super-strong beings in the universe. However, Luo Yuan is different because Luo Yuan is the most talented and potential-rich being that the universe controller has ever seen. Moreover, if Luo Yuan can complete all the tests, he can become its successor.

This would be extremely beneficial for the controller, and he has always attached great importance to this matter. As long as he can complete this task, he will have the opportunity to break free from the control of the independent universe, thereby making himself stronger and no longer affected by these so-called cosmic rules.

Chapter 779 Completed

Time flies, and Luo Yuan has been continuously integrating various cultivation systems in the Origin Temple. Countless reincarnations have passed, and Luo Yuan's integration process has been accelerating. Moreover, he has found that the more primal forces he integrates, the greater the benefits he will receive.

Although it's impossible for it to ultimately surpass the benefits of obtaining the inheritance of the universe's ruler, Luo Yuan felt that he could gain some benefits now and try his best to control it. He didn't know what kind of trials awaited him, and whether he could truly obtain the final inheritance was still an unknown.

In this situation, Luo Yuan felt that the most important thing was what benefits he could gain from the inheritance test, because the more he mastered, the better it would be for his future development. Therefore, Luo Yuan stopped thinking about so many things and was completely immersed in cultivation, which is why he was able to improve his fusion progress to such a high efficiency.

Moreover, Luo Yuan found that after he stopped having too many thoughts and expectations about the so-called inheritance, he was actually more at ease during the trials. Even when he encountered some difficulties, he was able to quickly solve them based on his previous experience. That's why he felt that his strength was improving faster and faster.

Luo Yuan's actions were observed by the universe controller who had been watching him. The universe controller was very pleased and satisfied with Luo Yuan's performance. Many things are easier to obtain the more you care about them, while they are easier to obtain when you don't care about them. This principle applies everywhere, and Luo Yuan's current performance perfectly illustrates this.

It was precisely because Luo Yuan had such an open-minded attitude that he did not find the fusion of different cultivation systems to be a boring and tedious thing, but instead enjoyed it. This is why he was able to truly feel the powerful abilities contained in the original power of different cultivation civilizations.

At the same time, Luo Yuan was able to gain a clearer understanding of the operating rules of the universe during the process of continuous integration. This would allow him to avoid many problems in his future cultivation and increase his cultivation speed. Luo Yuan felt that if he could pass these tests here, he could then fully attempt to improve his current cultivation level.

Luo Yuan felt that as long as he could advance to become the Lord of Hunyuan, his cultivation speed would increase rapidly, because he would reach a completely new level and be able to focus all his attention on studying the rules of the universe. Luo Yuan's cultivation level was getting higher and higher, and he would be able to clearly sense any cultivation system in the entire universe.

The most important thing is the ability to analyze and control the rules of the universe. This is the most essential source of power. Any powerful cultivation system and secret technique is actually just the analysis and application of the control of the universe. However, there are huge differences in these methods of application, which is why the difference in their strength is so obvious.

If one could perfectly control the rules of the universe, there would be no need to use any means. One could possess all sorts of incredible powers simply by relying on one's own will. Because if one controls the rules, there is no need to care about fixed secret methods. One can manipulate them at will and use the power of the entire universe to attack enemies.

This is the most powerful cultivation system and method. Any fixed form of cultivation is just a very rudimentary means of application. The reason why those creator gods and universe controllers are so powerful is that after reaching their level, they no longer care about so-called powerful secret techniques. They no longer pay attention to various powerful inheritance methods. What they care more about is how to understand and control the rules of the universe.

Therefore, the inheritance below the level of the Creator God is not very meaningful. It only has a certain influence and effect on those Hunyuan level powerhouses. The power controlled by Hunyuan powerhouses is called Hunyuan Power. This power is actually much weaker than the power of the rules of the entire universe. Moreover, Hunyuan powerhouses are always limited to various powerful secret techniques.

The so-called Hunyuan Secret Technique is actually just a way of applying the rules summarized by Hunyuan Lord-level powerhouses after gaining some understanding of them. The reason why the Hunyuan-level secret techniques are so powerful is that they have begun to truly involve the power of the universe's rules.

It was only slightly more than that, which is why it was able to unleash such great power. However, compared to the power of those who truly control the rules of the universe, such power is actually insignificant. This made Luo Yuan realize that all the powerful techniques he had cultivated before were just a joke.

Because no matter how fancy or powerful those methods are, they are only abilities that can be manifested within a certain realm. However, this does not mean that all the methods cultivated before were meaningless. At least they can give Luo Yuan and other experts in the Hunyuan realm a very clear understanding of the power of the universe's rules, so that they can understand the power of the universe and have higher aspirations.

At the same time, while experiencing the power of the universe, one can also comprehend some information about the rules of the universe, thus preparing them to break through and become a more powerful being than a creator god. No powerful being can comprehend and control the rules of the universe from the beginning, because they simply do not have such ability. If they rashly try to comprehend them, they may end up gaining nothing and wasting all their time on them, thus achieving nothing.

Even if one has exceptional talent and can comprehend some universal rules at a lower level, they cannot utilize them because they lack the necessary conditions, especially the energy reserves required. Not only would this not bring any benefits, but it would also cause irreversible damage to their own body.

Luo Yuan became so engrossed in the fusion process that he found himself in a state he had never experienced before. This state could be described as the legendary state of selflessness, which made him feel that he would complete the first level of the test much faster than before.

And he did indeed reach that level. After an unknown amount of time, some information suddenly appeared in the entire first-floor hall. Luo Yuan also stopped the fusion process because he had perfectly integrated all the cultivation systems here, thus creating a more powerful origin core.

Moreover, Luo Yuan's own source of power resonated with this primordial core, elevating him to his current peak state. Luo Yuan didn't know the extent of his strength, but he even felt that he had the ability to fight against those creator gods.

Although the cultivation system provided in this trial is less than one-thousandth of the entire multiverse, being able to fully integrate it demonstrates just how powerful Luo Yuan's talent truly is. Moreover, in his current state, even if there were more cultivation systems, Luo Yuan could continue to integrate them without any interruption.

Luo Yuan had a feeling that if he could really obtain all the weak cultivation systems here, he might actually be able to integrate them all together and create a complete inheritance at the level of a universe controller. In that case, Luo Yuan wouldn't need to undergo the next test. However, the time consumed would definitely be very long, even to the point that Luo Yuan would find it difficult to accept.

After all, there are many other multiverses like the one Luo Yuan is in now, and many super geniuses like Luo Yuan will surely emerge from them. If they can improve their cultivation speed and efficiency, they can become super strong even faster and gain a more important position.

Therefore, those super geniuses are Luo Yuan's real competitors. If Luo Yuan can gain strength in advance, that would definitely be better, because many benefits are difficult to obtain if one's cultivation speed is slower than that of other geniuses. Besides, the controller of the entire universe here would not simply lay out all the cultivation systems in front of him.

This leaves him with no time limit for fusion, as it offers no benefit to his original plan. All the rulers of the universe hope to find a true successor, one recognized by the rules of the universe, as this is the only way to escape their current predicament.

So how could they possibly miss such a good opportunity? So far, Luo Yuan's talent and efficiency in integrating the cultivation system are better than any previous genius, which has aroused the interest of the universe controller, because Luo Yuan has brought the universe controller greater expectations and surprises.

It would be even better if one could truly pass all the tests. Moreover, these tests are not entirely set by the universe controller himself; the most fundamental rules also play a role. After all, the universe controller cannot arbitrarily choose a genius as his successor. He must undergo the tests of the universe rules before he can truly become his successor.

No matter what kind of powerful being lives in this world, as long as they do not possess the power to transcend the universe, they are always bound by the rules. This is something that no powerful being can avoid, because the environment in which they are born has a huge impact on them. No powerful being can escape the environment in which they live.

By elevating their strength to its peak, they become mere ants under the rules of the universe. In fact, in the process of operating, the rules of the universe, in addition to maintaining the normal operation of the entire universe, also need to cultivate some super strong individuals to protect their masters in critical moments.

So this is a very contradictory situation, because the rules of the universe worry on the one hand that the strong people it cultivates are too strong and pose a threat to it, while on the other hand, it cannot weaken the strength of these strong people too much, so as to have some negative effects on itself.

Moreover, the rules of the universe cannot completely cut off the path of all the strong. Therefore, it is necessary to give these strong people some hope, so that they can have the opportunity to break through and transcend the universe. This is the only way to give these strong people the motivation to cultivate. However, no universe is willing to let the geniuses they have painstakingly cultivated leave just like that.

That's why it's necessary to set up all sorts of powerful tests. The purpose of doing so is to make these geniuses and strong people back down in a reasonable way. However, there are still some super geniuses who, after a long period of cultivation, can reach the pinnacle of the entire universe and transcend it. But the number of such strong people is still very small.

For the entire universe, as long as the number of super-strong individuals is controlled, they will not have to worry about any accidents. Moreover, cultivating strong individuals requires huge resources. If some of these individuals emerge during the cultivation process and become so powerful that even the rules of the universe cannot control them, then letting them leave to become transcendents would be a good thing, at least at that time the danger can be eliminated.

However, if some powerful beings do emerge, and they pose a threat that cannot be controlled, then the only option is to restrain or even eliminate them through other means. Therefore, there is a very mysterious balance between these super-powerful beings and the rules of the universe.

Before reaching an incredibly powerful level, one cannot adjust the order of the universe's rules, because doing so is tantamount to courting death. However, any powerful individual would certainly hope to cultivate to a higher level, or even ultimately break free from the constraints of the universe's rules. If they could, in turn, control them, that would be even better.

However, for those super-powerful beings, they prefer to create their own universe that is perfectly suited to them, and such a universe will not have any negative impact on them, because at that time, they can completely set the rules of the entire universe.

Therefore, once one's strength reaches an extremely high level, such as breaking free from the constraints of the universe, one must find a way to create one's own independent universe. In fact, once one's strength reaches the level of a Hunyuan Lord, one can completely create universes according to one's own will. However, because they still live in multiple universes, they cannot escape the constraints of the rules of the entire universe, and doing so often has many drawbacks.

They might even be stripped of their control over the universe by the rules of the universe. No powerful being would want to spend countless hours and effort creating a universe that they ultimately cannot control, and might even end up benefiting the universe. In such a situation, they would certainly not be willing to pay such a high price.

Therefore, these powerful individuals usually cultivate diligently until they truly transcend, and then choose to create a great universe that is entirely their own. Luo Yuan had actually created some small universes before, but these universes were far inferior to those other great universes.

Luo Yuan only regarded them as a temporary residence to house the people he cared about. He never thought of completely controlling those universes or taking them out, because he knew very well that the rules of the entire universe did not allow him to do so.

So far, Luo Yuan has not truly attempted to create a very powerful independent universe. However, he is well aware that if he wants to achieve real development in the future, creating a powerful independent universe is a necessary process. But to reach that level, he must surpass the universe controller. He is still far from that point.

Therefore, Luo Yuan has nothing to worry about and has no such thoughts. What Luo Yuan really needs to do now is to improve all aspects of his foundation and reach the level of Hunyuan Lord as soon as possible.

However, Luo Yuan has passed the first level of the test. He doesn't know how many more levels of tests are left, but he feels that he has no regrets, because no matter whether he passes the next test or not, Luo Yuan will be able to gain the greatest benefits.

Chapter 780 The Will of the Universe

After Luo Yuan passed the first level of the test, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was the universe controller. However, Luo Yuan knew very well that this was definitely an avatar or just a projection. The universe controller was very satisfied that Luo Yuan was able to complete the test in such a short time.

Then, he praised Luo Yuan and explained that the purpose of the first test was to test whether Luo Yuan had the ability to independently fuse the powers of different origin systems, because such ability directly determined whether Luo Yuan would be qualified to fully accept and control the inheritance.

In fact, they had already experienced several battles of geniuses before, and the most outstanding geniuses had been selected. They had also undergone this test. Although it took them much longer than Luo Yuan, some of them still succeeded. However, they did not achieve complete success in the process of undergoing the test.

Their inability to fully grasp the inheritance led to their failure, because the amount of information received during the inheritance process was far greater than that received during the trial, and the time was extremely short. Without strong comprehension and innovation abilities, it would be very difficult to fully accept and master so much information in such a short time.

The problem is that once the inheritance begins, it cannot be stopped. Either you can master the entire inheritance, or you can only give it up, or you will perish in the process of accepting it. Luo Yuan is already considered the most outstanding among all geniuses, and he has created a new miracle.

Therefore, the universe controller was very optimistic about Luo Yuan. He believed that if Luo Yuan could accept the entire inheritance, then he would have achieved a goal he had always had. Of course, the first level of the test was only the beginning, because he would need to go through other tests before he could truly have the qualifications to access the inheritance.

Next, he was teleported to the second level, where he quickly learned about the test. It turned out to be a test from the rules of the universe. To truly become the successor of the universe's controller, one must gain the approval of the universe's rules, which is the most crucial thing.

If he cannot gain the approval of the universe's rules, then even if Luo Yuan possesses incredibly powerful talent and abilities, he cannot become an inheritor, let alone be qualified to receive the inheritance. Before becoming a transcendent universe powerhouse, any powerhouse must accept the approval of the universe's rules and the corresponding constraints.

The first test was merely to check whether Luo Yuan was qualified to undergo the test. Luo Yuan was not surprised by this situation, because he did not understand the true purpose of the test. However, he could deduce some of it. Since Luo Yuan broke through to become a Hunyuan expert, he could clearly feel the existence of the universe's rules.
