I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

This could also be interpreted as him deliberately concealing some powerful abilities to use at crucial moments. Of course, such methods are rare, because as long as one does not comprehensively enhance their overall strength, it will not seem very abrupt.

Only methods that can unleash powerful force in a short period of time will not arouse suspicion from those strong individuals. Luo Yuan is very knowledgeable about these things, so he performed exceptionally well. At least so far, he has successfully passed all the tests. As long as he continues to improve the level of his base, he will eventually be able to access the true core base.

Chapter 806 Competition

The base where Luo Yuan is currently located is mainly used to cultivate Hunyuan-level powerhouses. In the universe, Hunyuan-level powerhouses can be regarded as the main force, because if their power is concentrated, it is enough to pose a threat to creator god-level powerhouses.

As for the creator god-level powerhouses, they can basically be regarded as the management, that is, the commanders. Of course, they belong to the kind of grassroots commanders. They still need to participate in the actual battles. However, once they become the universe controller-level powerhouses, they do not need to appear on the scene. They can command from a distance. These people are the real core commanders.

As for the sovereign-level powerhouses, they are decision-makers who can decide all actions in any battle. However, universe controllers and sovereign-level powerhouses are very rare because they need to control the overall situation while also guarding against the emergence of powerhouses of the same level in the enemy universe.

Every battle is decided by the strength of the strongest warriors. However, if the strength of the two sides is similar, they can reach a balance. In this case, only warriors below the level of the Creator God can fight. So, the final decision on victory or defeat still depends on these ordinary strongmen, even though many of them will perish in the process.

However, their final achievements will determine what benefits or costs their universe will gain. That's why Luo Yuan discovered that the bases that train both God-King and Chaos Origin level warriors are the most numerous. If these people were placed in the entire universe, although there would be many of them, they would only be able to inherit the legacy and would basically be the kind of beings who could perish at any time during the battle on the battlefield.

Luo Yuan and the other inheritors certainly didn't want to perish in this way, so they needed to constantly acquire more resources and status to become managers and commanders. In fact, no matter how strong an individual's strength is, if they face a powerful army composed of countless strong individuals, they may eventually be exhausted and perish.

Therefore, these ordinary strong individuals should not be underestimated. In these independent universes, huge costs are spent to cultivate these people. Moreover, if some of these people become even more outstanding, they may become super strong individuals above the level of creator gods.

As for those powerhouses below the God-King level, they basically have no status in the universe. They can only have a certain status in front of ordinary beings, and they cannot access higher-level information and resources. This is why the upper limit in Luo Yuan's original world was only the God-King level.

Only by transcending the source world can one truly understand the truth of the entire universe and realize just how weak one's own position truly is. Many powerful beings in the source world are even unknowingly wiped out by the aftershocks of battles between higher-level beings, completely unaware of how they perished. So, in a way, it is quite tragic.

Luo Yuan used to think that being the Lord of Hunyuan was the end of cultivation, but after he came into contact with more information and reached a higher level, he realized that it was just the level he was at, and he had not yet reached the corresponding level. Therefore, cultivation has no end, and he still needs to continue to work hard and climb to become a stronger expert.

Although the path of cultivation is extremely tedious and fraught with difficulties, becoming a more powerful being can grant access to more resources and status, as well as corresponding freedom. At least when facing major choices, one can have the initiative, knowing the strength of the most powerful beings in the entire universe.

Knowing the gap between himself and others is the only way to understand what he should do and become stronger without becoming arrogant and complacent. The level of the strong people in the base Luo Yuan is in now is obviously much higher than that in the previous base.

Luo Yuan could also sense the strong confidence and the diligence they displayed in their cultivation from these people. Luo Yuan even felt that they were cultivating harder than he was. However, Luo Yuan knew very well that becoming a strong person was not something that could be achieved through hard work alone; it also required corresponding talent and potential.

There are countless forms of life in the universe, but the probability of a super-strong individual emerging from among them is extremely low. There are many reasons for this, including innate talent, cultivation ability, and the environment in which they live, all of which can have a significant impact on these powerful individuals.

Therefore, sometimes it is not possible to achieve the corresponding results simply by working hard. The idea that hard work pays off is completely unfounded; it is just a self-deceptive saying among people with average talent. Many times, many things cannot be achieved by putting in effort alone.

If one has already been greatly affected and faced difficulties, and no matter how hard one tries, one cannot achieve the desired results, then it means that one's growth has reached its limit. This is why the major powers in the universe have extremely high requirements for the talent and potential of geniuses when selecting them.

Because they are well aware of the current level and strength of these powerful individuals. Although they are not very strong, it is only temporary. As long as they have the corresponding talent, they can quickly improve with the right resources and training, eventually surpassing most of the powerful individuals and becoming super beings.

During his cultivation at this base, Luo Yuan also met some very good people. However, Luo Yuan knew very well that his cultivation time here would not be too long, because his original level was much higher than that of these geniuses, so he would not have much contact with them.

Furthermore, Luo Yuan discovered that most of the people in the base were local geniuses. Even the so-called inheritors, whom he had met a few of, were all well-hidden in their identities. Luo Yuan would not take the initiative to contact them, all in order to avoid detection by the higher-ups of the major powers.

Luo Yuan possesses a strong ability to conceal his abilities, but that doesn't mean other geniuses can do the same. Perhaps during the long process of cultivation, some of their true abilities will be revealed. Therefore, these inheritors may have already been targeted by those high-level figures and will be subject to their attention at any time. In that case, Luo Yuan's contact with these inheritors is too close.

He would also attract the attention of those high-ranking figures, which would greatly increase the likelihood of Luo Yuan revealing his true identity. Under such circumstances, Luo Yuan would naturally try his best to hide himself. That's why he chose to maintain good relationships with these local geniuses so that he could perfectly integrate into their group without arousing the suspicion of those high-ranking figures. Moreover, Luo Yuan found that he could also learn some good things here.

Luo Yuan's original realm had long since reached the peak of the Hunyuan Lord level through so much cultivation. Therefore, in this base, he was able to continuously learn and improve by comparing his skills with those of the same level during battles.

Luo Yuan also gained a clearer understanding of the various rules in this universe. In particular, Luo Yuan discovered that his actual combat power had improved a lot. Even a creator god-level powerhouse could not defeat Luo Yuan. This was the source of Luo Yuan's confidence to come to the core base of this universe for exploration.

Although Luo Yuan didn't know if any powerful beings at the level of universe controllers had appeared in this universe, it was impossible for such powerful beings to appear on the surface, because if they did, they would immediately attract the attention of the dominant power of their own universe, and then the dominant power would take action to eliminate them all.

Therefore, the strongest beings in this universe are no more than the level of the Creator God. Luo Yuan already has the ability to fight against them, and even defeat them. Under these circumstances, Luo Yuan naturally has nothing to worry about. Even if his identity is eventually discovered by these people, he can still safely evacuate.

The key to Weidu's success is that if he manages to enter the core base of this universe, he must first determine the level of the universe's peak combat power before deciding whether to take action. Luo Yuan discovered that he had lost contact with the outside world within this base.

Therefore, he was unable to transmit the relevant information from here. After a long time, those super strong people who were paying attention to him would definitely react. However, those people would not take the initiative to contact him, and would even hide their information. They did this because they must have realized that Luo Yuan had already come into contact with deeper secrets in this universe.

For super-strong individuals, cultivation has no concept of time, because they have reached the level of eternity and immortality, so naturally there is no record of time. Therefore, Luo Yuan did not know how much time he had cultivated in this memory. He only felt that while he was becoming stronger, he was also able to understand why battles between different universes occurred.

In fact, it is difficult for any independent universe to break through to a higher dimension by relying solely on the cultivation resources within its own universe. This is because an independent universe can only cultivate one dominant powerhouse, and even the number of universe controllers is subject to corresponding control.

This situation arises not only because the resources of this universe can only be supplied to these powerful beings, but also because of the limitations imposed by the rules of the universe. In order for one's own universe to achieve dimensional advancement, the powerful beings within that universe must break through to higher realms, thereby driving the dimensional advancement of the entire universe.

Therefore, the higher the dimension of the universe, the stronger the beings within it are ultimately determined by their strength. In order to break through to a higher level and become more powerful, one must conquer other universes and seize their resources in order to obtain more resources to help oneself improve.

Therefore, battles must occur between different independent universes. From this, we can infer that even between higher-dimensional universes, there will be corresponding conflicts. Everyone has always been in this competitive relationship. Perhaps only the highest-dimensional universe can control everything.

However, there won't be any corresponding battles, because at that level, they no longer need to seize resources from other universes to improve themselves. In fact, after becoming a Hunyuan expert, creating a universe isn't that difficult, but the universes they create are of the lowest level. So don't think that creating a universe makes you invincible.

Within this memory, there will be regular battles of geniuses. The purpose of this is to create competition among these strong individuals, so that they can maintain the highest level of training and continuously become stronger. On the contrary, those geniuses who rank lower will be kicked out and lose their value for cultivation.

It is precisely because of this competitive mechanism that the strong individuals in the base have a very high enthusiasm for cultivation. Everyone who is able to come here must be one in a billion. They are very proud to have such an opportunity, and the price they have to pay to maintain it is too high.

Therefore, they were unwilling to be eliminated like this. With such a perfect training method, Luo Yuan would not believe that there were no super strong individuals. In order to reach a higher level of motivation and access the most important information, Luo Yuan won the championship in every selection battle.

Doing so would also demonstrate his strength and the extent of his hard work in training, and it would also allow those higher-ups to see his talent. Only by accessing a higher level of the universe could Luo Yuan acquire more information and resources, which is why he worked so hard. Moreover, Luo Yuan's strength was already at its peak among these people, so he couldn't possibly hide his strength.

So after a long period of testing, Luo Yuan was finally teleported to a new base and reached the level of a creator god. When Luo Yuan arrived here, he found that there were fewer geniuses than before, less than twenty people, but each of them was capable of taking on all the strongmen in the previous universe.

This means that although these people are only at the level of Hunyuan Lord, they have the strength to defeat a Creator God-level expert. Even in Luo Yuan's universe, such geniuses would be qualified to become inheritors of the universe's controller. However, there are as many as twenty of them in such a short distance. Luo Yuan doesn't know how many such bases are hidden in the entire universe.

This convinced Luo Yuan that the geniuses cultivated in this universe definitely reached the level of universe controllers, but their numbers would not be too many, at least not enough to rival the universe Luo Yuan was in. Otherwise, these super powers would have joined forces to launch a counterattack long ago, instead of hiding their strength and constantly accumulating power.

However, given more time, this universe will surely be able to recover to its peak state, which will pose a great threat to Luo Yuan's universe. However, Luo Yuan has always had a question: a large portion of the resources in this universe have been taken away by the super strong individuals from Luo Yuan's original universe, and they will harvest them at fixed times.

This is the authority that only a universe controller can possess, and even the major powers in this universe cannot resist it. So, in reality, the remaining resources in this universe are already quite good enough to ensure the cultivation of those below the level of creator gods, so how could they possibly cultivate a universe controller-level powerhouse?

Even these gathered geniuses consume enormous amounts of resources during their cultivation process. Logically, it's impossible to supply so many people with the resources they possess. So where do these forces obtain their resources from?

Without understanding the specific circumstances of the entire universe, it would be difficult to determine the nature of their strange phenomena. However, since Luo Yuan now had some doubts, he felt it was necessary to find out the truth. He believed that such information would be very valuable and might even be able to exchange for a large amount of resources.

Chapter 807 Opportunity

When Luo Yuan was training in this independent space, he observed many incredible phenomena. Of course, he was thinking from the perspective of his own universe, which is why he discovered the unusual things. If they were local geniuses, they would hardly have noticed the anomalies.

It's simply because their worldviews are influenced by their environment. No matter how powerful these geniuses are, their access to information is limited, so they don't have a good understanding of the universe. Therefore, they only feel that they are very lucky to have been chosen.

This allows them to accelerate their cultivation training base and obtain some good resources. As long as they perform well, they can eventually obtain a corresponding status and bring themselves a better life. However, the inheritors like Luo Yuan are completely different. Although they come here to train, it is also to obtain more resources to help them improve their realm.

At the same time, they also came here to obtain more secrets, because the Luo Yuans' position is opposed to all the powerful beings in this universe. The more information they learn here, the greater the damage they may cause to the major forces in this universe.

Therefore, both sides were wary of each other. Luo Yuan and his group had to conceal their identities because if problems arose, they couldn't guarantee that the powerful figures here wouldn't eliminate them on the spot. Moreover, Luo Yuan discovered that the major forces in this universe were definitely plotting something important behind the scenes.

Because, overall, these forces have very close cooperative relationships, they would not do this for no reason. The base where Luo Yuan is now has reached a level that is already a very good platform for someone of Luo Yuan's level, so he knows that if he wants to obtain the core base further, he may need to undergo even more severe tests.

Because in any independent universe, to reach the level of a creator god, one must pass the test of the universe's rules and obtain the corresponding quota to advance. However, Luo Yuan was well aware that as a person from another universe, it would be much more difficult for him to gain recognition from the universe's rules here than for these native powerhouses.

Moreover, even if Luo Yuan truly obtains the opportunity to become a creator god in this universe, he will immediately lose such power once he leaves this universe. This is because the power of a creator god is essentially granted by the rules of the universe. Therefore, in reality, the strength of those creator gods and powerful beings at the level of Hunyuan Lord is roughly the same.

However, if one wants to improve their realm and break through to become a super strong person at the level of a universe controller or above, they must go through this process. Only by becoming a creator god can one have a chance. Therefore, even if the power of a creator god is only useful in this universe, all geniuses and strong people must strive and compete for it, because only in this way can they have the qualification to become a super strong person.

For Luo Yuan, it would actually be good if he could become a creator god in this universe, because he could experience the level of power a creator god possesses. Luo Yuan's current combat power is not much different from that of a creator god, and is even much stronger than that of an ordinary creator god.

Of course, this only applies to their actual overall combat strength. However, they certainly haven't reached that level in terms of their understanding of the rules of the universe. If they want to use the power of the rules of the universe to improve their strength, they must not only gain the recognition of the rules of the universe, but also be able to understand and control these rules of the universe to the greatest extent possible.

This is also a prerequisite for becoming the controller of the universe. However, after becoming the creator god, it will be easier to comprehend the rules of the universe. If Luo Yuan can understand and comprehend the rules of this universe, he can use them as reference material to improve his control over the rules of this universe. Moreover, Luo Yuan can also obtain a corresponding status in this universe.

Finally, there might be a chance to become the actual controller of this universe, that is, a ruler-level powerhouse. There can only be one ruler-level powerhouse in an independent universe. This is a restriction of the universe's rules, which no one can break. There is already a ruler-level powerhouse in Luo Yuan's universe.

Luo Yuan couldn't possibly eliminate that sovereign powerhouse, so he could only wait for that powerhouse to break through to a higher level and achieve dimensional advancement. At that time, Luo Yuan would compete with all the inheritors for the opportunity to become a sovereign. However, the problem was that this would take an unknown amount of time and come at a great cost.

You might think that instead of waiting like this, it would be better to become the supreme ruler-level powerhouse in this independent universe that has already been controlled, because although the super powerhouses in this independent universe have all been eliminated, their dimensional origins are still intact and have not been damaged in any way.

Therefore, it is very realistic to expect the emergence of a ruler-level powerhouse. At least it is much easier to improve than in Luo Yuan's original universe. That is why Luo Yuan came to this universe cautiously and discreetly, while also trying to get in touch with the core base of this universe.

As long as he can acquire more resources, coupled with his own talent and potential, he has a chance to eventually become the ruler of this universe. If Luo Yuan can really reach this point, he believes that the super strong people in his original universe will not object, but will instead be very supportive, especially the ruler-level powerhouse.

If Luo Yuan can truly become a ruler-level powerhouse, then he will be an assistant to the rulers of this universe. When the two of them break through to higher dimensions together, they can also help each other. After all, it is difficult for one person to survive and develop in any unfamiliar environment.

However, having help would make it much easier to gain a foothold. But so far, no inheritor has achieved this. It's not that they don't have the idea, but they don't have the ability. This is not only because these inheritors' talents and potential do not meet the requirements of a ruler-level powerhouse, but also because they would face opposition from the powerhouses in this universe.

Although the major powers in this controlled independent universe cannot cultivate more universe controllers and ultimate ruler-level powerhouses in a short period of time, they can restrict the advancement channels of geniuses in the entire universe through the authority they possess. For example, the number of creator gods is basically controlled by the major super powers.

Gaining the recognition of the universe's rules is a prerequisite, but without the recognition of these forces, there is no chance of becoming a creator god. To become a creator god, one must gain the recognition of most of the powerful beings in the universe. After the recognition of the universe's rules, one must undergo relevant tests before being qualified to inherit the title.

Therefore, if even the creator god cannot reach that level, it is completely impossible to go further and become an even more powerful super strong person. However, once one can become a strong person at the level of the universe controller, then no one can limit one's development. As long as one is strong enough, one can advance to the level of the ruler.

In Luo Yuan's universe, there are strict quotas for universe controllers and rulers, so it is very difficult to change them unless there are vacant spots. Only then can later strong people be promoted to the corresponding positions. Not to mention what kind of tests one needs to go through to become the successor of these super strong people, the possibility of success is very low.

However, this problem does not exist in this universe, because the sovereign-level powerhouses and all universe controllers were wiped out in one fell swoop. This means that a large number of these slots are now vacant. As long as one can reach the corresponding level, one can be promoted without needing anyone's consent, provided that one can become a creator god.

Luo Yuan felt that it would be easier to improve his realm and strength in this universe, so he decided to spend a lot of time cultivating in this universe. This was more worthwhile than returning to his original universe and competing with all the other contestants for the limited spots.

However, Luo Yuan knew very well that the powerful figures of the various local forces in this universe would absolutely not allow the inheritors of the outer universe to become the creator gods of their universe. Therefore, they would definitely conduct a more detailed investigation. Once they discovered the existence of the inheritors, Luo Yuan had no idea what measures they would take.

However, according to the information Luo Yuan collected, anyone who had the opportunity to come to these cultivation bases and eventually become a successor of the Creator God would fall at this stage. They would either be silently eliminated or expelled, or their memories of the base would be completely erased by powerful soul attacks.

Luo Yuan had previously been explored by the rules of the Origin Space, and later, during his cultivation in two different bases, he had been constantly probed by high-ranking figures from various forces through various means without any unexpected incidents. It can be said that Luo Yuan was already quite remarkable to be able to hide to this extent, but he did not know what kind of test would come next.

Whether he can perfectly dodge it is still unknown, because so far no one has been heard of succeeding. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent these inheritors here for testing and training. Luo Yuan never thought of himself as a unique existence.

After all, the universe is so vast and has gone through such a long period of time, there will always be some extraordinary geniuses. However, none of these geniuses have ever made it to the cultivation base at the level of a creator god, which means that the current test is just the beginning of the real danger.

Luo Yuan didn't know how the major forces in this universe managed to do it. After all, the fact that so many inheritors could be stopped at this step meant that the powerful beings in this universe were also very capable. Therefore, Luo Yuan felt that after he arrived at this base that was cultivating Hunyuan-level experts, he would understand.

If he can pass the final test, he will have the opportunity to become a super strong person in this universe. There will likely be no more tests in the future, because only the training method will remain. Therefore, the final test will be the most difficult. He doesn't know how the test will be conducted in the future, but he still has some expectations.

In fact, Luo Yuan also knew that there might be powerful beings from other universes in his own universe. They would travel to different universes to collect information through various means. Because of the various conflicts and interests that exist between different universes, they would definitely send outstanding experts to gather information in order to understand each other's news and be prepared.

Therefore, almost all independent universes have a very complete exploration mechanism, but the prerequisite is the existence of a sovereign-level powerhouse, because only in this way can the universe rules be manipulated at any time to control the overall situation. However, the exploration mechanism of independent universes without a sovereign-level powerhouse is subject to very strict limitations.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find powerful beings from outside the universe who have infiltrated it. This is also a major reason why the super-powerful beings in Luo Yuan's universe feel at ease sending their successors to such universes for training.

Because they know that even if the powerful beings in this universe learn that outside inheritors have entered, they cannot keep track of the inheritors' movements at all times, and might alert them. Therefore, they will not take action under uncertain circumstances.

So these inheritors can continuously improve their strength and acquire more resources during their training here. It's like using resources from other universes to cultivate their inheritors, which is extremely beneficial. So how do the forces in this universe distinguish between local powerhouses and external inheritors?

However, no powerful beings from the outside world know this so far, because it involves the most important secret of this universe, especially the core of the universe's origin. Even the rulers of the outer universes who control this universe do not know it. This is not because the rulers do not have the power, but because they dare not easily come to such a universe to understand the secret of its core origin.

Every universe has a primordial will. These wills usually operate like a fixed program, but this does not mean that these primordial wills lack corresponding power. As for the external universe, the primordial will certainly not be able to control it, so it cannot go out and fight against the powerful beings outside.

However, once a super-strong individual arrives in the universe where the Origin Will resides, and threatens the safety of the universe, the Origin Will can mobilize the power of the entire universe to retaliate. Since the Independent Universe is a Level 5 civilization universe, the power that the Origin Will can mobilize can also reach the Dominator level, and is even much stronger than most Dominator-level powerhouses.

Therefore, as long as the entire universe is not threatened and the power of the universe's origin is not shaken, the will of origin will not intervene. Even if all the super strong beings in this universe are eliminated, it is impossible to truly affect the existence of the will of origin.

Unless a super-powerful being from another universe tries to seize the power of the universe's origin, which would be tantamount to posing a huge threat to the will of the origin, the will of the origin can then mobilize the power of the entire universe to make corresponding arrangements and counterattacks according to a fixed program of logic.

Whether it's accelerating the cultivation of super-strong individuals within one's own universe, or guiding super-strong individuals from the outside world into one's own universe and then using the primal power of the entire universe to suppress them, neither of these is something that the external powerful individuals would want to see.
