I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

However, after careful consideration, Luo Yuan decided to first go to the southern region to seize its treasures. This was because the number of powerful individuals in the southern region was much smaller than in the other two locations. In order to achieve his goal, Luo Yuan naturally had to proceed from the simplest to the most difficult path.

As for the other two areas, they might fight over the treasures and the source fruits there, but Luo Yuan and his group weren't too concerned. They knew it would be difficult for them to achieve their goal quickly, which would give them enough time.

As long as Luo Yuan can achieve his goal, he will be able to go to the other two areas to seize treasures during this period. Of course, Luo Yuan's ideal situation is to seize all the treasures in the edge areas, but he also knows that it is indeed a difficult thing to achieve this goal, so he can only try his best to obtain them.

However, the arrival of Luo Yuan and his group clearly put considerable pressure on the powerful individuals gathered in the southern region. This was because Luo Yuan not only brought his own group of lone wolves, but they also appeared to be extremely strong, and powerful individuals can sense each other.

Because they could clearly sense that the aura emanating from Luo Yuan and his group was much stronger than that of most of the powerful individuals, and Luo Yuan and his group did not seem to come from any powerful force. The only possibility was that these people were not lone wolves.

If they are a lone wolf, no matter how strong they are, there is nothing to worry about. However, if they can gather together, their fighting power is already unimaginable. Luo Yuan's arrival not only puts pressure on the people present, but also changes the power structure here.

In fact, no matter where you are, as long as you have treasures, you will definitely attract many powerful people to compete for them. After they arrive here, because their individual strength is very weak, they need to temporarily form corresponding camps. In the southern region, they have gradually formed several different forces. Now, Luo Yuan's arrival is equivalent to the participation of new forces.

It was quite obvious that Luo Yuan's faction was led by him, while the leaders of the other factions also approached Luo Yuan directly, wanting to see what his attitude was towards the treasures here. In other words, Luo Yuan's attitude would determine how they would deal with him. Without knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses, they would not easily make a move.

This is a very clear rule everywhere, because Luo Yuan is the only genius on this entire planet who comes from outside. So, to him, everyone here is a local powerhouse, and naturally, Luo Yuan cannot have any foundation here.

However, Luo Yuan wanted to achieve his goals, so he had to integrate into the environment as soon as possible to gain more benefits for himself. Moreover, Luo Yuan realized that if he wanted to completely control the entire planet, he still had to create a powerful force on his own.

This force is just beginning. The lone wolves that Luo Yuan previously controlled were the initial core of his force. Of course, these people cannot be said to be fixed by Luo Yuan, because he still needs to constantly replace them during the training process to create more outstanding individuals.

Therefore, the leaders of these different factions present are all quite capable in terms of strength and management. Luo Yuan has already regarded them as the next group he needs to control. However, before that, he should try to obtain the treasures here first, because Luo Yuan needs to observe the strength of these people before making a final decision.

Leaders from different factions came directly to him, and Luo Yuan knew their purpose. It was because everyone who came here must have the same idea: to obtain those Source Fruits with abundant energy. Other things were not very valuable to them, because Source Fruits were treasures that could directly help them improve their realm and foundation.

However, the number of Source Fruits is very limited, which means that among all the powerful individuals present, only the leaders of their respective factions are likely to obtain such treasures. This also means that the powerful individuals who follow them will ultimately obtain very limited treasures.

However, if they are still asked to deal with those monsters under such circumstances, they need to have the strength to control them and the means to get them to work. In fact, no matter what the situation, as long as the goal can be achieved, that is enough. As for the precious treasures, they can only be distributed among these leaders.

Before Luo Yuan arrived, these people had already planned how to fight together, seize the treasures, and distribute them. Even though Luo Yuan and his group seemed to be very strong, they couldn't directly change the existing distribution pattern.

It would only require them to make some minor changes to the previously agreed-upon distribution plan. Luo Yuan had already learned about the specifics of this core area through communication with these leaders. It turned out that these people had previously sent personnel there to conduct an investigation.

Knowing that there were several towering trees there meant that there must be a lot of Source Fruits on them, but in total there were no more than twenty. If Luo Yuan agreed to their distribution plan, then Luo Yuan would need to lead his own camp into battle, and he would be able to get four Source Fruits.

Luo Yuan actually thought the distribution plan was very reasonable, but he had his own ideas. He decided to take all the treasures here, but he couldn't directly oppose these people's demands, otherwise he would immediately clash with them.

Moreover, Luo Yuan didn't believe that the leaders of the other factions would agree to such a distribution plan. They were likely waiting, just like him, to work together to deal with the demonic beasts. Once the demonic beasts were defeated, the distribution of the source fruits would depend on their respective strengths.

The so-called distribution plan is a complete joke. Without strong constraints, how could they possibly abide by such rules? It's just an excuse to maintain a balance. Once they have the opportunity to directly obtain the treasure, they will definitely engage in a chaotic battle.

For Luo Yuan, the moment these people fought was the best opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters. At that time, Luo Yuan would show his true fighting power, and these people would not want to have the qualifications to compete with Luo Yuan for the treasure.

Luo Yuan could also use his intelligence to identify and select talented individuals from among them during their battles. He could then use his soul control abilities to recruit them as his subordinates. If Luo Yuan wanted to build a powerful force, he needed to control more strong individuals.

However, Luo Yuan is also aware that with most of his strength currently sealed, the number of people he can control is strictly limited. Therefore, he must select the most outstanding individuals from among these powerful people, which is the most ideal state he can currently achieve.

Luo Yuan took a closer look and found that there were five factions present, making six including their own. However, these factions were wary of each other, so they needed to be careful while fighting together, as they could be attacked by other powerful individuals at any time.

However, with so many people gathered together, there are enough to deal with the monsters in the core area. Therefore, these monsters are only a real threat to them. The real threat should be the human powerhouses who have come to plunder the treasures along with them.

Soon, this group of people arrived at the core area in a grand procession. However, upon arriving, they discovered that a considerable number of demonic beasts had already gathered there. It seemed that these demonic beasts were not as weak as they had previously thought. The fact that these demonic beasts were able to prepare in advance and defend themselves here indicated that they had a unified leader and had received information that the human experts wanted to come and seize their treasures.

Of course, another important reason is that the fruits on those big trees are almost ripe, so there will definitely be many people trying to steal them. They have to guard this place well. However, compared with human powerhouses, these demonic beasts are not very intelligent, and they will only obey the orders of those powerful demonic beasts to attack.

They may not seem very intelligent, but because these demonic beasts can strictly follow orders, their combined fighting power is still very strong. In some ways, they are much stronger than the human powerhouses present, due to the intense competition among these human powerhouses.

Therefore, without true trust, their cooperative relationship is still unreliable. This means that these human powerhouses cannot achieve their ideal state when cooperating in battle, and they will suffer losses in the process of fighting against demonic beasts, even though the number of demonic beasts is not as large as that of human powerhouses.

However, their strength was sufficient, and they were able to achieve the ideal state of unity and cooperation. Therefore, after the two sides started fighting, they were able to reach a state of evenly matched strength immediately. The lone wolves in Luo Yuan's camp were all people he had taken a liking to and controlled in the previous battles. He did not want these people to expend too much strength here.

These lone wolves were especially valuable to Luo Yuan, and he didn't want them to lose their lives here. So he deliberately delayed the progress during the battle and began to retreat immediately after encountering danger. Luo Yuan's behavior made the leaders of the other factions very angry.

In their view, Luo Yuan was simply going through the motions without putting in any real effort. Furthermore, Luo Yuan deliberately instigated battles between the powerful figures from other factions and the demonic beasts, allowing them to weaken each other. Only after these people had all become weaker would Luo Yuan make his real move to seize the final treasure.

The other powerful figures in the camps originally had similar ideas, but they didn't show it as obviously as Luo Yuan, at least not at the beginning. However, Luo Yuan completely deviated from the expected pattern and adopted this opportunistic approach from the very beginning.

No matter how angry those people were, they couldn't change the current situation because they were already fighting those monsters and had no time to argue with Luo Yuan, let alone criticize him for choosing this method.

Although the initial battle seemed somewhat chaotic, as more demonic beasts joined the fight, the result was a major defeat for the human warriors. This was mainly because these human warriors each had their own agendas and could not fight as a unified force, so they were always too cautious in their battles.

The result was that although these humans were clearly stronger than the demon beasts, they suffered continuous losses in the battle. Of course, the demon beasts also suffered considerable losses, mainly because their numbers were fewer than those of the human powerhouses. The fact that the originally favorable situation had turned into this battle was quite unbelievable to the human powerhouses.

The problem is that since they are already in this situation, they must eliminate those monsters as soon as possible. No matter what they think of each other, obtaining the treasures here is the most important thing. If they cannot obtain the treasures, then all the scheming and fighting here is meaningless.

Luo Yuan's actions have led the leaders of the other factions to decide that once they have eliminated these monsters, they will exclude Luo Yuan and his group from the list of those to receive the treasures, because in their view, one must pay a corresponding price to obtain the treasures.

If, during the battle with the monsters, one doesn't focus on fighting hard but instead thinks about seizing the treasures at the end, it's an extremely infuriating act. In that case, Luo Yuan and his group wouldn't be qualified to distribute the treasures. Time passed, and eventually, all the monsters were indeed eliminated.

However, most of the human powerhouses were also lost, which ultimately resulted in the faction led by Luo Yuan, whose lone wolves were the most intact, because Luo Yuan did not use his true strength during the battle.

Moreover, he also ordered his subordinates to stand by and watch, so their combat power was much stronger than that of other factions. However, Luo Yuan also knew that the real test was yet to come.

Chapter 830 Timing

Luo Yuan and his group have obtained all the treasures in their chosen area. Next, they need to compete for the treasures in the other two areas. However, Luo Yuan did not make a move immediately because he noticed that the powerful figures in the other two areas were fighting against the demonic beasts and the battle had not yet reached a final outcome.

Therefore, Luo Yuan decided to wait, because for him, the time to make his move was only after the mutual exhaustion between these powerful figures and the demonic beasts had been maximized. In terms of both the number of powerful figures on Luo Yuan's side and their own strength, they were actually somewhat inferior to the powerful figures on the other two camps.

Although Luo Yuan might win if he didn't conserve his strength, it would also expose his current situation to everyone. Luo Yuan still needs to venture into other places, so he can't spend all his time in this peripheral area.

Furthermore, Luo Yuan also noticed that even when separated by great distances, the powerful figures in this world could still exchange information with each other. However, Luo Yuan always wanted to keep a low profile, so he didn't want to reveal all his strength now, lest it attract the attention of these local forces.

Then, by transmitting his information, Luo Yuan might appear on the list of all the forces that are paying close attention to him. In that case, it would be very difficult for Luo Yuan to hide himself and gain benefits. Therefore, Luo Yuan decided that before he had truly grown into the strongest fighting force on this planet, it was the smartest choice for him to keep a low profile.

Moreover, Luo Yuan is currently the leader of those lone wolves on the surface, but only those who are related to him know the true strength he has shown in battle. As for the strongmen in the other two camps, they are unaware of it.

Moreover, Luo Yuan wants to gain benefits here, and he may have to reveal some of his power. In order to hide himself, he may directly use powerful means to control the leaders of the two camps. Although Luo Yuan is very unwilling to show himself in front of everyone, he is also aware of this.

It's unlikely that these lone wolves can seize all the resources in the entire border region. The best thing he can do in the future is to control those he deems to be highly talented and capable during battles, and then have the forces behind these individuals help him conceal information.

In this way, Luo Yuan wouldn't have to worry so much. However, before Luo Yuan had completely controlled these powerful individuals, he absolutely could not let them know his true strength. Luo Yuan and the others choosing to stand by and watch was also in their own best interests. Moreover, Luo Yuan had been paying close attention to the specific situation in the other two regions.

However, he still felt that he had underestimated the strong individuals in the other two camps. The fact that they could maintain a stalemate with the monsters during the battle showed that these strong individuals had indeed made thorough preparations before choosing to fight.

Previously, when Luo Yuan was fighting these monsters, he noticed that these monsters were different from all the monsters they had encountered before. This was because these monsters were not only powerful, but also had a unified leader, so their combat power was very strong. This allowed these monsters to occupy important areas even under human attacks.

As for the more important Origin Fruit, it is not something that human powerhouses can easily obtain. In fact, Luo Yuan had long noticed that the powerhouses on this planet were actually quite strong, at least in terms of their level. Otherwise, Luo Yuan would not have taken a liking to this universe, because he should know that this universe actually has great potential.

If it hadn't been destroyed beforehand, it would definitely have advanced to a higher dimension by now. It can only be said that this universe was destroyed by the enemy before it could truly grow, and all hope was lost. In other words, it failed in the process of upgrading dimensions.

Luo Yuan didn't know what kind of enemy those super strong beings in this universe had encountered that caused such a situation. This also fully demonstrates that there are even more powerful beings in the universe. He couldn't be completely at ease just because his strength had increased to the level of a creator god.

He still needs to continuously improve his strength and build a strong foundation. The different dimensions of the universe mean that the gap in strength between these powerful beings is very large. Moreover, without coming into contact with those powerful beings in higher dimensions, it is hard to imagine how big the gap is. Therefore, Luo Yuan must maintain the most stable mindset.

Moreover, Luo Yuan cannot be complacent just because he has achieved some success. He always knows his own position, which is why he is so careful and diligent in his cultivation. Now that he has discovered something in this universe that is very beneficial to improving his strength, he naturally wants to take control of it.

Moreover, if Luo Yuan can completely control this universe and elevate it, his future prospects will be far more glorious than those of his previous universe. Even the supreme ruler, though powerful, cannot compare to Luo Yuan, because he is well aware of this.

Once he can restore the dimensions of this universe, he can directly leapfrog a level and become a more powerful ruler. Since Luo Yuan has already made his choice, he doesn't need to worry so much. He has gradually realized the path he needs to take, so he must persevere and not stop at all.

Furthermore, Luo Yuan was aware of the existence of higher dimensions. They might be able to observe the situation between powerful beings in lower dimensions through some means. Otherwise, how could they know which universes could pose a threat to them during the process of upgrading dimensions, and then take action to eliminate them at the right time?

This means that those powerful beings in universes that want to upgrade their dimensions must be more careful to hide their strength, otherwise they may end up with nothing and perish in the process of fighting, while their universes will be destroyed and occupied by others.

If Luo Yuan wants to protect those he cares about, he has to become stronger. In fact, Luo Yuan doesn't care that much about the universe he originally came from, because he wasn't born and raised in this universe. So he doesn't hesitate to change to another universe as a place to improve his strength and grow.

As long as it helps him improve his strength and reach a higher realm, Luo Yuan doesn't care about anything else. He knows very well what he needs, so he can adapt well to any environment. While observing the battles between the strong and the demonic beasts in the other two camps, Luo Yuan pondered his future plans.

The whole process was very easy, because Luo Yuan had completely taken control of the situation. In order to truly hide himself, Luo Yuan even changed his original appearance. He did this just in case, because it would be impossible for him to take care of so many powerful people while he was displaying his strength.

If someone notices in advance that Luo Yuan's strength is far greater than theirs, and then investigates and sends out their information, it would be impossible for Luo Yuan to intercept this information, as the information network on this planet is extremely advanced.

Therefore, for powerful forces, it is not difficult to investigate a person's specific identity. As long as they obtain the relevant information, they can do it. Luo Yuan has only just obtained the identity of a martial artist on this planet, so he has no background.

In this situation, he had to hide himself. Moreover, Luo Yuan did not intend to join any faction because he was well aware that his growth rate would reach a very fast pace. Once he joined that faction, he might be noticed by those high-ranking figures, and it would be difficult for him to completely hide his strength.

Therefore, in order to grow as quickly as possible without attracting the attention of others, Luo Yuan could only adopt the current approach. However, Luo Yuan also knew that it was impossible for him to manage the entire planet and obtain detailed information and intelligence on his own.

Therefore, he simply selectively controls some powerful individuals from strong forces. This way, whether it's providing important information or offering support in a certain aspect, it's very beneficial. Although Luo Yuan has considered establishing a powerful force, he doesn't intend to do so at his current level.

This is because it takes too much time, and as long as he grows quickly, he will soon become the most powerful being on this planet. At that time, he will not need to build any strength at all and will be able to completely control this planet. Therefore, improving his strength is the most important thing for Luo Yuan now, but he has not yet fully grown up.

Moreover, he also needed to surprise the super strong people who were observing everything behind the scenes through these performances, so that he could also bring more benefits to himself. Luo Yuan knew that all of them who participated in this genius assessment were actually under the detection of those super strong people. Whatever they did here would be immediately observed by these strong people.

In such circumstances, one needs to be even more careful, especially for a powerful figure like Luo Yuan from the outside world. If he reveals any external aura, he will be eliminated right here. This is also an important reason why those super strong individuals warn these geniuses to be cautious.

Those people from the outer universe might have an impact on them. Putting aside everything else, after Luo Yuan and other geniuses came to this universe, they found that all the means of communication they originally had had lost their effectiveness. Of course, they already didn't have such abilities when they were in those cultivation bases.

If those cultivation bases were unable to contact each other due to their unique cosmic environment, it would be understandable. However, it is quite peculiar that they are now in another universe, because this universe lacks a true administrator and the fundamental laws have already appeared.

Indeed, it's possible to contact the outside world through some means, but the reality is that they are unable to communicate effectively. The only possibility is that those super-powerful beings have used some means to completely seal off the entire universe.

Therefore, this universe has become a completely closed resource world, and everyone's every move can be observed at any time. In fact, Luo Yuan does not know whether they are the only inheritors from the outside world in these universes, since in theory there are many independent worlds in the universe.

Moreover, although there is a great disparity in strength among these worlds, there are also some extremely powerful beings. In order to gain more control over resources and more information, they will definitely send their trained inheritors to other universes to obtain information and seize resources.

If Luo Yuan's universe can reach this level, then other universes can do the same. Therefore, some of the geniuses in this universe may come from other universes. It is for this reason that Luo Yuan has been cultivating on his own since he came to this world.

He wouldn't establish any connections with those other powerful individuals because he didn't know their backgrounds. Similarly, Luo Yuan didn't have the time to investigate what their purposes were. After all, for Luo Yuan, improving his strength and controlling the universe was the most important thing. He had completely put his mission behind him.

In fact, if Luo Yuan can perform well on this planet and then go to other important regions, eventually becoming a super strong person in this universe, then he will not only achieve his goal, but also obtain a high ranking, and then he will truly reap a great harvest.

On the contrary, focusing too much on his performance during the cultivation process would make him feel constrained. Luo Yuan felt that it was better to calm down completely and start afresh in this world, which would not only be of great significance to him, but also improve his spiritual realm.

In fact, after Luo Yuan arrived on this planet, he spent most of his time not cultivating, but rather experiencing the process of growth anew. This was because geniuses like Luo Yuan were already very powerful, and now they were simply experiencing the process of growth again.

So they don't really value improving their realm; they mainly consider the requirements of this assessment, which is why they do this. However, the most important thing is to reorganize all the systems they have cultivated before and obtain some power from this universe to help them grow during the growth process.

What Luo Yuan is most interested in right now is the special power contained in this universe. This power can help him improve his strength and foundation. Therefore, Luo Yuan must completely control this power. If it were in the past, Luo Yuan would not have come here to seize a little bit of resources and spend so much time.

He would find a quiet place to summarize all his cultivation methods and continuously improve his strength after sensing the rules of this universe. However, now that he knows the special features of this universe, he must seize this opportunity.

However, acquiring special powers on his own is too troublesome, which is why he attaches great importance to these resources that possess special powers. The more of these powers he masters, the stronger he will become. When he completes his mission, the benefits he will receive will be more abundant than he originally expected.

Chapter 831. Transfer of Origin

Chapter 831 Transfer of Origin

Now that the powerful figures in the area have lost their fighting ability, it's time for Luo Yuan and his group to officially enter the fray. Moreover, Luo Yuan will not let any of the treasures here go, including the talents he has his eye on. Luo Yuan feels it's necessary to control them as well, so that he can more easily control this planet in the future.

Luo Yuan's strength is not fully unleashed yet, so he cannot control too many powerful individuals. However, his growth rate is very fast, so he doesn't need to worry about any problems arising. He only needs to control some powerful individuals who can provide him with more assistance, which is enough, because he currently needs more resources to help him.

After observing, Luo Yuan discovered that in this second area, only the leader was truly qualified to be valued by him. This was because the strongest among all the powerful individuals present would not exceed the planetary level. Even if Luo Yuan did not move, the strength he had achieved on this planet with any of his previous power would be enough to suppress all of them.

Therefore, he was even less likely to look down on those whose strength had not even reached the planetary level. However, the leader of this camp was quite interesting, mainly because Luo Yuan found that this person had excellent management skills. Although his strength was not very strong, as long as he was given enough opportunities to grow, he would definitely be able to improve.
