I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Once such a powerful being appears, it means that they will be immediately eliminated by the super-powerful beings who control their universe. However, these powerful beings appear without any hesitation. But considering the situation described now, it is not surprising that such a scene exists. Luo Yuan had already guessed that there might be powerful beings at the level of universe controllers in that universe.

After all, judging from the way geniuses are cultivated in this universe, as long as they are given enough time, it is entirely possible for a genius to be born who can become a universe controller. The only thing to consider is the issue of resources. However, now that Luo Yuan and his group have arrived in this universe, which is a resource world, they are facing a different situation.

Luo Yuan now understood the various forces in this universe and where their confidence to resist being controlled came from. However, Luo Yuan didn't know how many universe controller-level powerhouses had been born in this universe. Of course, the number couldn't be many, otherwise they would have started to rebel long ago.

Moreover, there has been absolutely no ruler-level powerhouse in this universe so far. Luo Yuan can sense the rules of this universe and know that these rules are very ordinary and have no regularity. In other words, the original rules operate according to the original will and appear very fixed, just like a solidified program.

If there were an independent universe with a sovereign powerhouse, the rules would definitely not be like this. This is because the will of a sovereign powerhouse can influence the operation of the universe's rules at any time, so the process of transformation carries a very obvious personal influence.

This can also be seen as a unique form that can be manifested by having independent consciousness to manipulate things. After all, intelligent beings and primordial will are completely different. Logically speaking, powerful beings at the level of universe controllers would not easily appear like this. In that universe, once they appear, they will be immediately observed by powerful beings at the level of rulers, which will bring unexpected destruction to their entire universe.

However, these powerful individuals also need training and more resources. If they stay in dangerous environments, it won't be easy for them to break through their current realm. Therefore, it's impossible for them to hide their information so perfectly. Only now does Luo Yuan understand why no universe controller has been discovered so far.

It turns out they were all hiding in this independent universe that had been mostly destroyed. The super-powerful beings in those powerful universes generally looked down on such broken universes whose origins had been damaged, because such universes had lost the possibility of growth and would continue to weaken over time, eventually becoming ruins. The life that survived in them would only have the fate of disappearing.

Moreover, any powerful being living in the universe has their soul bound to the fundamental rules of their universe when they appear. Therefore, it is very unlikely that they can use the power of the rules of other universes to help them improve their realm, unless they can master the rules of other universes to an extremely perfect degree, or even be stronger than the native powerful beings.

However, for universes that possess complete original rules, the number of native powerhouses and the number of slots they need to break through to the corresponding realms are already extremely limited. Therefore, it is impossible for them to give up those precious divine slots within their own universe to powerhouses from other universes.

Since a universe controller-level powerhouse has appeared in this controlled, broken universe, it means that they have already used this place as a secret base to cultivate super powerhouses. This way, they can avoid the detection of super powerhouses from the outside universe. Although the cultivation speed here will be slower, it is still much better than being discovered and directly eliminated.

Moreover, for super strong individuals, each breakthrough in a minor realm requires an unknown amount of time and resources. Therefore, they can choose a safe place to cultivate. Once they reach a certain realm that requires a breakthrough, they will return to their original universe to complete the integration and improvement of the universe's rules.

While every independent universe certainly contains many dangerous environments, and those environments can evade the detection of powerful outsiders, once their strength reaches the level of a universe controller or above, it is absolutely impossible for them to perfectly hide themselves, because during their cultivation process, their aura will more or less manifest itself.

As rulers of the universe, these powerful beings usually spend most of their time cultivating, but they also leave behind a clone in each of these universes to detect situations within the universes they control, even though the clones are not as strong as the originals.

Therefore, the results of the investigation were not very detailed. However, it was relatively easy for those super strong individuals to sense that their auras were different. So, if this universe had not had enough universe controllers or sovereign-level powerhouses, they would never have dared to openly place these super strong individuals from their own universe in this universe.

Luo Yuan had previously speculated that there might be some kind of plan being carried out in this universe, namely to cultivate super strong individuals in order to break free from the control of the outside universe. They had paid an unknown price for this, which could be seen from the geniuses in the powerful bases that Luo Yuan had come into contact with. Moreover, Luo Yuan had already guessed the most core cultivation base in this universe.

It must have been a very well-hidden and powerful base, but Luo Yuan never imagined that such a place would be located in another independent universe. Even if this universe was broken, its resources and level were countless times stronger than any base.

If the major powers in this universe were to cultivate even more super-strong individuals, it would undoubtedly cause immense destruction to Luo Yuan's original universe. At the very least, the two sides might engage in a grand battle, ultimately leading to the fall of many powerful individuals. Luo Yuan felt that he could fully demonstrate his outstanding talent and combat prowess here.

After gaining the corresponding status and resources, he might have the opportunity to truly control most of the resources and information in this universe. He might even become the true ruler of this universe. However, Luo Yuan does not want too many universe rulers to appear in this universe.

Because for every new universe controller added, the number of slots will decrease accordingly. So, if Luo Yuan reaches a certain level and there is a shortage of slots, he will be in a very passive position. In fact, before Luo Yuan has fully grown up, there will be no more ruler-level powerhouses in this universe.

Then everything Luo Yuan is doing now has become meaningless. Therefore, Luo Yuan absolutely will not allow more super strong people to appear in this universe. He has made a decision that once he has the opportunity to contact the outside world, he will transmit the specific information here.

He would then have the super-strong individuals in his universe take action to eliminate all these hidden powerhouses. This would allow Luo Yuan to cultivate in this universe with peace of mind, eventually obtaining the corresponding quota and continuously improving his realm. In return, Luo Yuan would also gain a considerable amount of resources and rewards, because he believed that if he were to truly take the information from here out, the impact would be substantial.

At least until now, there has never been a successor like Luo Yuan who has been able to come into such close contact with the most core secrets of the universe. However, what surprised Luo Yuan was that after that powerful being at the level of the universe controller appeared, he did not immediately announce the requirements for the next test. Instead, he directly used his powerful mental energy to examine all the powerful beings present.

This situation immediately instilled great fear in some of the inheritors hidden among these geniuses, because they knew very well that once their strength reached the level of a universe controller, their ability to investigate would be extremely powerful, and they were now in a completely unfamiliar universe, and had not yet had time to adapt to the rules and power here.

Therefore, it is impossible to perfectly hide, so it is relatively easy to be detected. Luo Yuan, who was hiding among these geniuses, was also a little worried. However, he was not as afraid as the other inheritors because he knew very well that he had achieved a perfect control over the power of the rules in this universe. Therefore, even if he was checked by other super strong people, he would feel that there was no difference between him and these local strong people.

However, other inheritors cannot achieve the same level of perfection as Luo Yuan. Therefore, in this situation, the rules of their original universe may be revealed. However, Luo Yuan does not need to care about this at all, because those inheritors have no connection with Luo Yuan, even though it is the same universe.

However, since everyone was strangers to each other and had no feelings for one another, even if all those people were found and eliminated, Luo Yuan would not show any emotion or change in expression. Sure enough, after the universe controller conducted a comprehensive investigation, several figures were immediately found from the crowd and left suspended in the void, powerless to resist.

Luo Yuan knew at a glance that all the people who had been found were inheritors from the outer universe, just like him. The power of rules that these people displayed could no longer be hidden; on the contrary, it was very obvious. This was because these people could not yet perfectly conceal the inherited power they possessed.

Therefore, after being activated by the secret technique of the super strong, the aura emanating from them is completely different from that of the local strong people present. The local strong people present immediately understood what was going on. They did not expect that there were strong people from other universes hidden among them, but they had not discovered them at all.

This also shows that the other inheritors are actually quite good at hiding their abilities, but they have no advantage in front of the universe controller level, because once they reach the universe controller level, the power and ability they possess will be unimaginable.

Even after these inheritors were found, the cosmic controller continued to observe the performance of the geniuses from different bases present, because he was not sure if all the inheritors had been found. That's why he wanted to obtain relevant information by observing the changes in the geniuses' expressions.

However, the geniuses who have made it this far have all experienced a great deal, and they are extremely good at controlling their expressions. How could there be any unexpected situations? Moreover, the geniuses who can perfectly hide themselves in front of the universe's controllers are practically non-existent, because the powerful beings in this universe have already tested them through various methods.

They have never failed before, so they are very confident in their investigative abilities. However, in order to ensure 100% success, these powerful individuals need to put all the geniuses present to other tests. The reason for this is that these geniuses are now in a completely unfamiliar universe.

During the trials here, they can only survive by relying on the power of the rules in their original universe. However, they can only use one type of rule. When they arrive in a third universe, it may cause chaos between the power of their original universe and the power of other universes.

Such a genius, capable of achieving a balance between the three different cosmic forces, has never appeared before. Even super geniuses who have become rulers would find it difficult to do so. If such a being truly existed, the super-powerful beings in the universe would be powerless to stop it, as they could only consider it an arrangement of fate. However, the probability of such a situation occurring is extremely low.

What they didn't expect was that Luo Yuan was the unique genius they had been thinking of. Therefore, Luo Yuan always acted very calmly. However, at this time, his performance was not much different from that of other local geniuses, so the super strong man could not see anything. In the end, he killed all the external inheritors he had found on the spot in front of these people.

Chapter 811 Rules

The methods employed by this emerging cosmic controller surprised Luo Yuan. According to the information he had gathered, this universe was already under their control. Therefore, even if they discovered the identities of these external inheritors, they would not easily eliminate them, as this would attract the attention of the cosmic controllers behind these inheritors.

These inheritors were all carefully selected by the universe's controller. If they suddenly perished, the universe's controller would definitely investigate. However, the universe's controller had the audacity to eliminate them all, which was equivalent to offending several powerful figures of the same level at the same time.

Although the universe we are in now is separated from Luo Yuan's original universe by an unknown distance, making it impossible to transmit information, if these inheritors perish, the controllers will still receive the corresponding information, at least they can know whether their inheritors are still alive.

Luo Yuan had originally guessed that there weren't many super-strong individuals in this universe, otherwise they wouldn't have hidden themselves so well when cultivating geniuses, and even specially opened up a secret realm as a key training base. Now it seems that the universe is not as simple as he thought. Perhaps this universe has accumulated over a long period of time and has the corresponding strength to resist, which is why they dare to be so bold.

After all, Luo Yuan didn't know how many super strong individuals had been born in this universe so far. However, one thing was certain: Luo Yuan had to hide his true identity during his adventure here, otherwise he would end up like those previous inheritors.

Once their true origins are discovered, they will be immediately eliminated, because they have now arrived at the most important base in this universe. Therefore, if the secrets here are known to powerful figures outside, it will bring true annihilation to the major forces in this universe.

Just from the behavior of this universe controller, one can see the extent of their vigilance against powerful outsiders. At least, after observing, Luo Yuan found that there were very few remaining inheritors here, and these people basically all possessed extremely powerful concealment abilities.

However, it's hard to say whether they can hold out until the end. But for his own safety, Luo Yuan decided to sever all contact with these inheritors. Luo Yuan had previously thought about finding a few inheritors from the same universe as helpers in this unfamiliar environment.

This way, at least they could help each other when facing difficulties. However, he did not actually take action because he noticed that these inheritors were not only in competition with each other, but also very wary of each other. This was because it was not uncommon for some of these inheritors to betray their original universe.

Although the chances of this happening are very small, it cannot be ruled out that some inheritors would make such a choice to ensure their own safety. Now that they are no longer in their original universe and have lost the protection of the powerful forces behind them, they must do everything they can to survive and become stronger.

Therefore, it's not surprising that they might damage their original universe for their own benefit. As long as they don't cause significant damage to their universe overall, that's enough. If they can truly become super-powerful beings in this universe and gain corresponding status and resources, then their previous sacrifices will be well worth it.

The super-strong beings in the universe never consider right or wrong, only the final result. As long as they feel that doing something will bring more benefits, they will not care too much. However, Luo Yuan knows that any benefit gained does not come with a corresponding price. It is basically difficult to gain more by paying the least price, because the other strong beings are all very smart.

Couldn't he see the true thoughts in the hearts of these inheritors? Moreover, after Luo Yuan cultivated in this universe, he discovered that the various forces here had very powerful methods for detecting and controlling these geniuses, which were even more sophisticated than the soul control methods that Luo Yuan had mastered.

Because Luo Yuan's method of soul control is to forcibly take control of the other party's soul essence on foot, thus making them obey his orders. However, doing so will deprive the other party of the possibility of growth. If the other party harbors resentment towards Luo Yuan, then over time, they may eventually resort to a fight to the death.

If such a situation were to occur, it would cause significant losses to Luo Yuan. Therefore, during his growth process, Luo Yuan would not entrust important matters to those under his control, nor would he allow them access to the most crucial information about him.

Moreover, before Luo Yuan decides whether to control the soul of a powerful individual, he must consider whether the enhanced individual has the desire to survive. Only a powerful individual with the desire to survive will think more about how to live. Therefore, even if they are dissatisfied after being controlled by Luo Yuan, they will not immediately turn against him.

However, the powerful beings in this universe are different. They adopt a subtle and gradual ideological transformation, using a combination of high pressure and rewards to make these powerful beings gradually lean towards them during their long-term cultivation process. This is equivalent to making these powerful beings willingly choose to submit to the major forces in this universe, thus preventing them from easily betraying them.

Therefore, these foreign inheritors must possess strong will and beliefs; otherwise, after training here for a long time, they will inevitably undergo changes in their mindset. Moreover, Luo Yuan also noticed that although he had selected these super geniuses from his original universe as inheritors, he had not given them the corresponding freedom to cultivate.

Instead, they are allowed to train in these dangerous secret realms. The main purpose of this is to save resources and allow these powerful individuals to acquire the resources they want through cultivation and experience, which is also a very good way for them to grow.

If all the resources were given to these powerful individuals for cultivation, they would ultimately not be able to truly grow. This is because geniuses who have not experienced danger cannot reach the corresponding level in terms of mental state. This is determined by both their own inherent conditions and the training methods of those super-powerful individuals. Ultimately, the inheritors rely on themselves to continuously acquire powerful resources to improve their strength and realm.

Moreover, if they want to advance further to become beings at the level of universe controllers, they must wait for their masters to break through their realms and release the quotas so that they can advance their realms. But the problem is that when those universe controllers will break through their realms and release the quotas is completely unknown.

If those universe controllers are unable to break through their realms, it means that these geniuses will forever only have the status of inheritors, which is equivalent to just being a backup genius. However, it is different in this universe because this universe lacks super strong people, and people have not suffered any losses, so the resources are relatively abundant.

When all these resources are gathered together, and a portion is used to nurture these super geniuses, it will give these geniuses the illusion that they are highly valued. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the end, the inheritors will betray the universe itself.

However, once such successors make such a move, it's as if they've been abandoned. This is something those super-strong individuals do intentionally, because to cultivate such successors, they must remain loyal. No strong individual wants to invest huge sums of money and resources to nurture someone.

Successors may betray you at any time, which would mean that all your efforts would be meaningless. Therefore, loyalty is of utmost importance, because only by ensuring that they will not betray the universe can you feel at ease nurturing them.

Therefore, these inheritors are not irreplaceable. Becoming an inheritor does not necessarily mean that they will be able to inherit the corresponding quota and obtain the highest status and strength. They still need to undergo various tests and finally gain the recognition of those super strong individuals before they can truly reach the corresponding heights.

Therefore, after Luo Yuan became a successor at the level of a universe controller, he was not particularly excited. He only felt a great deal of pressure. What he truly valued was the high-level inherited knowledge, as he could use it to accelerate his cultivation. As for the so-called status and quota, he was completely uninterested.

If it weren't for the limitations imposed by the rules of the universe, Luo Yuan wouldn't even want to become a universe controller or ruler. It was precisely this mindset of Luo Yuan that made those super strong people pay special attention to him, because only a successor without greed can put all his mind on cultivation and go further.

Next, the universe controller explained to Luo Yuan and the others the specific requirements for the test. First of all, although they had lost the possibility of growth, their original level was already very high. There were also some powerful native experts living in the universe, and these native experts could be regarded as a kind of resource in this universe.

Moreover, this resource is also renewable. Furthermore, this universe is vast, and many of its resources are scattered in different places. In order to gather these resources together more quickly, powerful individuals need to be sent out to collect them. However, these super-powerful individuals are certainly unwilling to do so.

That's why it was decided to let these arriving geniuses complete these tasks. This way, we can not only collect a lot of resources for them, but also cultivate and train these newly arrived geniuses. It can be said to be a win-win situation. Moreover, these geniuses will directly serve as competitors during the training process.

Moreover, this test also created a ranking for them, based on the resources they acquired. Those who ranked lower in the end would be eliminated, which was essentially a survival of the fittest method. However, Luo Yuan and the others understood that the true meaning of this rule was to make these geniuses fight each other.

Only the truly strong survive and acquire the resources, while the weak perish in this space. Cultivating geniuses in this universe requires a significant investment of resources, so such a wasteful approach is highly unwise.

However, by choosing this method, they were able to cultivate even more outstanding beings within a certain period of time. It can be said that what this universe truly lacks is not these geniuses, but the geniuses who can become super strong. Because as long as a large number of such geniuses are cultivated, they will have the power to resist, which is the most crucial point.

Those geniuses with average talent have no reason to survive, because they would only waste the universe's limited resources. This kind of competition is very cruel, but it is in line with the current situation of the universe. After all, their resources are still limited. Although possessing such a secret world is useless, the actual resources are still much less than those of the universe that controls them.

In this situation, the only option is to maximize the rational use of resources. Therefore, the competitive approach adopted now is quite normal. Luo Yuan and the other geniuses immediately felt a sense of pressure. At the same time, regardless of whether they knew each other before or what kind of relationship they had, these geniuses are now enemies.

Of course, Luo Yuan was also aware that they would be under constant surveillance by these universe controllers during the mission. If they exhibited any other behavior during the mission, such as the inheritors using their original abilities, they would be immediately identified and eliminated on the spot.

So this can also be seen as a way of probing, because over time, some clues will inevitably emerge. Of course, Luo Yuan doesn't care too much about these things, because he has discovered that this broken universe will be of great benefit to geniuses like them.

That is the fundamental law of this universe, which is now in a manifest state, making it easier for them to comprehend and control it. This, in turn, can accelerate their control over the fundamental laws of the universe, and thus make it easier to advance their realm. In the process of any universe's growth, the laws of the universe will only be directly revealed when chaos first appears and when the universe is finally destroyed.

Normally, such a situation wouldn't occur because these laws are hidden as the rules governing the universe. If a powerful being living in the universe wants to become even stronger, they can only do so by controlling the power of these rules. Only in this way can they truly gain immense power. However, once these rules are hidden, it is very difficult for them to comprehend and control them.

Therefore, the laws that the strong comprehend are often obtained by cultivating various methods and powerful secret techniques, and then using these methods to control the power of those laws. However, this method is too inefficient, and only the most ordinary laws are controlled. The most powerful of these laws is definitely the primordial laws, which constitute the core power of a universe.

Regardless of the cultivation method, including the power of technology, their ultimate goal is to study the most fundamental laws of the universe. Because once you know how the fundamental laws work and master them, you can reach the point where you can arbitrarily mobilize the power of the universe. At that time, you can truly control everything entirely with your will.

Chapter 812 Transformation into Mortal

Luo Yuan used to wonder where the most mysterious cultivation base in this universe was, but now he realized that it was actually placed in such a broken universe, and that these selected geniuses had arrived here so easily.

However, the fact that such an arrangement was made means that these super strong individuals are not worried at all about the specific information here being transmitted by the geniuses present, because the geniuses here do not have such an ability. Moreover, Luo Yuan also noticed that although the rules in the universe he is currently in are incomplete, they are able to hide the entire universe very well.

Luo Yuan didn't know the exact cause of this situation, but he could speculate that the original will might have taken corresponding defensive measures before the universe was destroyed. When it realized that it was unavoidable, it could only take measures such as hiding the rules as a way to preserve the universe.

After all, even a destroyed universe has great value. If powerful beings from other universes find out its exact location, they might take control of it and start an endless struggle for it. They might even take away all its resources.

Then the universe will lose all its protective power, and all life living in it will eventually disappear. According to the universe's self-protection program, all living things in the universe are actually of no value.

However, if they can survive, there is a possibility that some of them will become super geniuses, eventually rewriting the state of the entire universe and making it possible to recover. Although the probability is very low, it can serve as a fallback if it really happens. Therefore, the will of this universe ultimately chose this method, which can be considered the optimal solution.

The will of the universe itself has no emotions; it is merely a fixed operating program. Therefore, when making choices, it will take the most advantageous approach based on the current situation. However, what the will of this universe could not have imagined was that it was so well hidden that it was eventually discovered by powerful beings from other universes, who then seized control of it and turned it into a resource world.

However, the fact that the super-strong beings in Luo Yuan's original universe did not discover the existence of this universe shows that the universe's concealment methods are quite good. Perhaps the super-strong beings in this universe were able to discover this very good resource world by luck.

After all, there are many hidden resource worlds in the universe. Finding them depends on one's luck, as there are many ways to evade the exploration of these powerful beings. Unless their existence is discovered by some accident, they will not take action to seize them.

That means this resource world may have already been taken over by this universe, but the powerful beings in this universe did not cultivate their geniuses in a short period of time, and their combat power could not compete with that of the outside universe.

So even if all those super strong individuals eventually perished, they at least left behind some trump cards for the strong in this universe to use in their resistance. However, because the rules in this universe have been broken, the remaining rules are all in a very visible state.

This is not of much use to powerful beings above the level of universe controllers, but it is of great significance to geniuses at the Hunyuan level, because they can rely on the special environment here to rapidly improve in a short period of time and reach the level of creator gods. Therefore, it is a very good place to train these geniuses.

Moreover, this place can also avoid the detection of other universe powerhouses, allowing them to cultivate in peace. Therefore, it has become a gathering place for those super powerhouses. However, in Luo Yuan's view, this universe should be considered a place where powerhouses above the level of universe controllers temporarily hide.

Of course, these geniuses cannot currently access these super-strong individuals because they are not qualified. However, their performance in the upcoming trials will determine the resources and status they will receive later. But what these geniuses find somewhat unbelievable is that they discover the super-strong individuals in this universe have very strict requirements for their trials.
