I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

In any universe, the genetic level and physical strength of human beings are relatively weak compared to other races. However, even so, they can continue to grow and even become dominant beings in the universe. This is because they have unparalleled learning abilities, and their control and wisdom are much higher than those of other races.

Therefore, many things in the universe maintain a fair state, because only in this way can the universe develop in an orderly manner. However, Luo Yuan discovered that the worldview he had previously established was still somewhat one-sided, because the dimension of the universe he lived in had not reached a corresponding level, which is why he felt that way.

However, he discovered in this universe that your situation is completely different, because whether it is a human powerhouse, a demon beast, or even other races, they all possess roughly the same level of intelligence and soul, only existing in different forms.

This means that in a higher-dimensional universe, there is no such thing as a rule that maintains balance. Any life form that is born will have the same starting point. So whether they can grow to the end depends on their own destiny. However, if the race they are born into is a very powerful one, then their innate genetic level and talent will definitely be much stronger than those of other races.

This is because the abilities of a race can be continuously optimized and improved as it develops. The reason why powerful beings often leave behind very outstanding descendants is because they inherit the powerful bloodline and genetic level of their main lineage. If the strong members of a race can improve, then their descendants will definitely become stronger and stronger.

Therefore, if the dominant group in the universe is powerful enough, they will become even more powerful beings. This leads to a huge gap in status between different groups in the universe, because it is determined by the abilities they are born with and the resulting difference in strength. Not all universes are dominated by human powerhouses; it can only be said that the universes Luo Yuan experienced were like this.

This is because only universes belonging to the same level and condition will overlap, and then they will fight, occupying each other's resources and territories. There must be countless microcosms in the entire universe, and these universes are formed in different dimensions, similar to spatial layers.

However, they usually don't overlap much, and they maintain their normal development and operation. But if different universes have some common connection, they will form a very peculiar existence, which is overlap.

Once different universes overlap, they can bring together the strongest beings from those two universes to fight, thus having the opportunity to occupy or even control the other's universe. Therefore, Luo Yuan believes that the reason why the three universes he has experienced so far have overlapped is because they are all dominated by human power.

If the universes we encounter in the future are formed primarily by other races, it will be really hard to say which universe is more powerful. However, one thing is certain: Luo Yuan must raise his strength to the level of a true expert as quickly as possible. As long as he can become the ruler of a high-level universe, he will not be afraid of anything that happens.

Because for dominant beings, they have transcended the limitations of races; their ultimate goal is simply to become even stronger.

Therefore, for those super strong individuals, once they reach a certain level of realm and strength, what they think about is no longer the very one-sided battle between races, but the development of the entire universe and their own future prospects.

856. Chapter 856 Standards

The monster that suddenly appeared before him was very powerful, but Luo Yuan could still deal with it. This was because the area he was in was only a relatively remote part of the central region. Although it had some very good resources, they were not very valuable to the powerful people in the central region.

Therefore, the monsters that can occupy this place are not very strong. At most, reaching the planetary level would be considered very good. Of course, Luo Yuan could also feel during his battle with the monster that it was very hostile to human experts. It seems that these monsters, who have lived in the wilderness for a long time, have been targeted by human experts.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they harbor such resentment towards human powerhouses in their self-awareness. After all, the entire wilderness area was ultimately designated by the lord of this planet to raise these demonic beasts. In other words, in the eyes of human powerhouses, these demonic beasts were merely tools to provide them with cultivation resources and various combat experiences.

Therefore, it is impossible to make human strongmen have any idea of ​​treating these monsters fairly from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, with such a powerful lord who has been able to suppress all beings on the entire planet, no matter how strong these monsters are, they cannot truly resist, unless a powerful monster of the star level emerges among them that can pose a threat to the lord.

However, if such a being were to actually appear, the powerful humans would immediately spread the information, and the lord traveling outside would immediately come and eliminate all such monsters. Therefore, to some extent, monsters living on a planet would never have the chance to rebel against humans.

It is precisely for this reason that these demonic beasts are extremely hostile to human powerhouses, because to them, human powerhouses are people who come to seize their treasures, whether they are resources or treasures that appear in the wilderness or here.

In the eyes of these demonic beasts, everything is their property, including this territory, which they seized through mutual struggle. They never considered that the place they live in was actually just a place allocated to them by the strong humans.

Therefore, human powerhouses are all outsiders to these demonic beasts. So the reason why so many powerful people have gathered around this forest is to seize some of the precious resources here, especially the very good source fruits in this remote area. Source fruits are not actually very attractive to planetary-level powerhouses.

However, for those who have not yet broken through to the planetary level, it is a very good resource, because it can help them increase their chances of becoming a planetary level expert. Therefore, for those planetary experts who are not very strong, the source fruits here are still very valuable.

After all, little by little, as long as the quantity is sufficient, it can be exchanged for more cultivation resources. In particular, some planetary-level powerhouses have people they care about who also need to use Source Fruits to break through their realms. Therefore, Source Fruits are a hard currency and the most valuable resource for these powerhouses at the bottom level.

After all, those who can gather here to compete for source fruits are usually newcomers who have worked hard to rise from the periphery. This is also the process that most lone travelers without background or support need to go through, because even if they come to the central area, they can still develop from the weakest point at the beginning, so they need to constantly acquire more resources.

Regardless of their status in the peripheral areas, they have to start all over again here, without any preferential treatment. Only members who can traverse the major forces in the three regions can enjoy more cultivation resources. Luo Yuan has not yet fully grown into the most powerful being on this planet.

Therefore, he did not want to confront the most powerful force on the planet immediately, because that would not benefit him. As long as he could become the most powerful being and eventually replace the lord as the true ruler of the planet, he could naturally turn all the planet's resources into his own.

According to the rules of this universe, the so-called planetary lord is actually just a representation of a certain status. To put it bluntly, as long as one's strength reaches the level of the most powerful being on that planet, one can become its new lord without any other restrictions. Of course, one must be a powerful being that already exists on that planet.

Furthermore, in order to ensure the development of the planet, powerful lords are not allowed to restrict the development of the geniuses on the planet. If a powerful figure emerges who can threaten the lord's position, it only means that the lord is not strong enough. This is also an important reason why the lord of this planet wants to leave here and go to the wider universe to develop.

Because he knew very well that if he remained at his current level and did not make any further progress, he would not have much room for long-term development, whether in the universe or on his planet, if a more outstanding being appeared on his planet.

Then the status of the territory will be shaken, and they will have to give up all the authority and resources they possess. However, it is very difficult to actually achieve this, since the basic resources on the planet have been divided up by various major powers.

Even the most outstanding geniuses and powerful individuals they produce are mostly formed within these forces. For those lone wolves without any background to grow up and eventually surpass everyone is simply impossible, unless they have an unexpected opportunity that can help them defy fate and change their destiny.

However, reality is cruel and such a situation is impossible. But Luo Yuan has the conditions to break such limitations because he is not a native strongman of this planet, and his conditions are better than all the strongmen here. In his opinion, the talents and abilities of all the geniuses on this planet can only be considered average.

However, in order to ensure his final evaluation, he has settled down to develop here. If he had followed his previous cultivation speed, it would have taken a long time to become the most powerful being on this planet in a short period of time, at least several years. But with Luo Yuan's current abilities and accumulation, he has achieved his goal.

He felt he could achieve what he needed within six months, which is why he was so concerned about cultivation resources. Of course, what he cared about most was the special resources of the people and the source power on the planet. If Luo Yuan paid attention to these things, he could even become the most powerful being on the planet in a very short time.

The problem is that doing so would cause him to miss out on a lot of things, especially affecting his final assessment. In order to become stronger, and also for safety's sake, Luo Yuan ultimately decided to proceed cautiously, as this would have some other implications for his future assessment results.

If he disregarded everything and focused solely on improving his strength and realm, he believed that although he could improve quickly, it would not benefit him in the final assessment. This was because he was well aware that the geniuses who had come to this universe to participate in the assessment all possessed high intelligence and strong foundations.

In fact, their level of cultivation completely disregards the so-called cultivation resources and weak levels of this universe. Therefore, many powerful individuals may initially think about improving as quickly as possible. However, if the speed of improving one's level is truly used as the standard for evaluation, then Luo Yuan feels that it has no value whatsoever.

Because these exceptional individuals from the outside world have experienced a great deal, their knowledge and perspective far surpass those of most powerful beings in this universe. Therefore, it is very easy for them to improve their cultivation level. However, no one knows what the final assessment criteria are yet.

They can only comprehend this on their own during the continuous development process. They might be able to discover the standards set by those super strong individuals. However, Luo Yuan is very clear that the speed of improving one's realm is definitely not the standard for assessment, because such an assessment method is completely useless, since everyone's realm is already very high.

Therefore, Luo Yuan simply continued to break through based on the information he knew, and each step of development was pushed to the current limit. Only in this way could he improve himself while ensuring that the stage he was in in the development of the universe had reached the current limit.

Even if he doesn't get a high evaluation in the final assessment, he won't have any regrets, because he feels that he has done his best and there is no possibility of improvement. If he can't get a higher evaluation and ranking under these circumstances, then Luo Yuan thinks that the assessment standards of those super strong people who control the entire universe are problematic.

Especially after Luo Yuan discovered the special power contained in this universe, everything he experienced in this universe had a deeper purpose. He felt that he could not put all his plans on the so-called assessment. He should focus on the value that the universe itself possessed.

Moreover, the dimensions this universe could have possessed before must have been stronger than all the worlds he had experienced. That's why he immediately changed his original plan, which allowed him to integrate into this universe more quickly, from the perspective of other examiners.

They were completely unaware that Luo Yuan was actually a genius participating in the assessment just like them, because Luo Yuan's current thinking logic and various behaviors were not much different from those of the local powerhouses. In fact, this itself demonstrated his incredibly strong learning and control abilities.

Because no matter the environment, Luo Yuan can easily participate and hide himself, which is a talent that a strong person can possess. After all, Luo Yuan and his group may participate in more universe explorations in the future, which may lead to conflicts with those strong people in the universe, as well as the acquisition of some important information and resources.

Without this ability to quickly integrate into other universes, it would be difficult to obtain more cultivation resources and information. After all, the purpose of cultivating these geniuses is not only to give them powerful combat abilities, but also to give them powerful wisdom and minds.

After all, blind fighting alone cannot solve any problems, especially after rising to a higher level. Under the suppression of various cosmic rules, different situations will arise. Therefore, in order to better deal with sudden situations, it is necessary to improve one's means of dealing with various abnormal situations.

Logically speaking, the super-powerful beings who control another universe in this universe are indeed very strong. So why did they fail in the competition with other universes, and even the dominant beings were eliminated? In the end, it's because they were not cautious enough and thought they could change everything with their own power.

They overlooked the power of wisdom. The powerful beings in Luo Yuan's universe were indeed completely different. Although strength could give them the right to face anything, they needed to make choices when faced with situations that were difficult to control, and they wanted to truly resolve all the crises through their own efforts.

Then they need a power that they can control, and this power can come not only from themselves, but also from others. Perhaps it is because of this knowledge and experience that the super strong people in the universe realized their own shortcomings, so they hid themselves and even placed the most important things they cultivated in such a universe with a destroyed origin.

The fact that these specific circumstances and information have not yet been known to the super-strong individuals who were originally in Luo Yuan's place shows that these strong individuals are hiding themselves very well. If they can continue to develop here, they might one day have the opportunity to turn the tide.

It's a pity that Luo Yuan's arrival in this world means they will lose this opportunity, because Luo Yuan doesn't want to see the strong in this universe eventually grow up and pose a threat to his universe. After all, Luo Yuan still has a sense of belonging to his universe.

Moreover, Luo Yuan has decided that both the universe he is currently in, whose origin has been destroyed, and the universe he represents, which has been controlled, will become his spoils, because the resources of these two universes will determine how high he can rise in the future.

The universe where Luo Yuan originally lived was originally home to many powerful individuals who constantly fought for resources, paying a heavy price for it. However, after a long period of development, a fixed pattern had formed, and many of the available spots were already occupied by those super-powerful individuals.

Therefore, no matter how outstanding the geniuses are, they must demonstrate their loyalty to the super strong individuals who occupy those spots before they can be granted the corresponding authority and strength. In Luo Yuan's view, this is a form of reverse control. He does not want to lose his dignity or freedom in order to obtain those rare spots.

Furthermore, even if he eventually gave up what he had been holding onto, it was still uncertain whether he would ultimately gain the power he desired. Therefore, he felt that rather than competing with those geniuses for those meager resources, it would be better for him to step out of the situation.

He must go out into the world to acquire greater power. Only in this way can he continuously grow and eventually become a being even more powerful than the strong beings in his own universe.

Chapter 857. Space

Luo Yuan continued his exploration in the forest. He knew exactly what he needed, so he didn't pay attention to the resources he encountered along the way, even though they seemed decent. These things were of little use to him, and collecting them would only waste his time.

If there's anything he's most interested in here right now, it's definitely the Source Fruits. Back then, Luo Yuan gathered and unified all the Source Fruits from the four major regions in the edge area, which helped him improve his strength and gave him the right to explore this central region.

So now he definitely hopes to obtain more Source Fruits. In fact, the fact that the monsters here are strong enough to protect most of the resources is a good thing to some extent. At least Luo Yuan doesn't have to worry about human powerhouses competing with him for them. In other words, the only enemy Luo Yuan needs to face now is the monsters here, except that there are many monsters here.

Luo Yuan had to be careful during his exploration because he knew that many of the monsters occupying this central area were powerful, having already reached the planetary level. However, because Luo Yuan's location was relatively remote, he did not encounter the hidden monster he had seen before, whose strength had not yet exceeded the planetary level.

So, this was just a lowly monster in the forest, but even so, the strength of this monster surprised Luo Yuan. Therefore, he was very wary of the more powerful monsters in the forest. As Luo Yuan continued to explore, he got closer and closer to the core area of ​​the forest.

However, he also noticed that some powerful demonic beasts were passing by. If it weren't for Luo Yuan's incredibly strong ability to hide, he would have been discovered and attacked by these demonic beasts long ago. Now, Luo Yuan can be considered an enemy that these demonic beasts need to fight together. Under such circumstances, Luo Yuan would definitely want to hide himself better.

Because he was alone, and he was currently in the stronghold of these demonic beasts, although Luo Yuan was very confident in his strength, he could not guarantee that he could escape unscathed when surrounded by so many demonic beasts. After all, his purpose in coming here was only to obtain treasures.

There's no need to fight these monsters, as it's pointless for him. However, no matter how well Luo Yuan hides, the frequency of encountering monsters will only increase as he progresses. If their numbers increase, Luo Yuan will inevitably leave some traces.

However, Luo Yuan is now fighting a demonic beast that appears to have reached the planetary level in strength. Originally, Luo Yuan was very cautious during his journey, but unexpectedly, a very powerful demonic beast suddenly jumped out of the space, as if it appeared out of thin air.

The only explanation is that the monster that emerged possesses the ability to hide in the void, perhaps as an innate talent. Unlike humans, which are very different from other monsters, humans cannot improve their strength through any secret techniques.

Therefore, they can only rely on the methods and memories inherited from their bloodline to control and improve their strength. It is precisely for this reason that these monsters possess all sorts of incredible methods, methods that human powerhouses lack.

This is because human powerhouses often acquire special abilities only after reaching a certain level through cultivation. Moreover, the secret methods of cultivation determine whether they can possess such means. Otherwise, they don't need to go through so much trouble. They only need to master their innate abilities to naturally utilize some special extraordinary abilities.

It is precisely for this reason that human powerhouses find it very troublesome when facing some powerful demonic beasts, because they do not know what kind of innate abilities the demonic beasts they are facing have, such as the spatial-like abilities that the demonic beasts that suddenly appear before them display.

Luo Yuan found it very interesting because, in his view, powerful individuals who could master spatial secrets often needed to have a certain level of control over the laws of space before they could use them in combination with some powerful secret techniques. Of course, if they were powerful individuals who had reached the level of immortality, they could even directly comprehend the abilities related to the laws of space and thus master a means similar to teleportation.

Moreover, once one can master the higher laws of space or time, it is possible to break through and become a cosmic venerable. In the universe, no matter what race, they must meet such conditions to achieve this. Yet this seemingly ordinary monster is able to control spatial abilities at the planetary level.

This surprised Luo Yuan, which also fully illustrates the unusual nature of this universe. After all, he had already discovered through observation and perception that the universe itself had a high number of dimensions. The current situation is only due to the destruction of its origin, which has led to a decrease in dimensions.

However, the level they already possessed meant that some of the races living here had very good genetic levels and various talents, but without proper development, they would only become weaker and weaker. It's just that the entire universe hasn't completely perished yet.

So this is very good news for Luo Yuan. If he had arrived later, even if he wanted to control this universe and use it to enhance his strength, he wouldn't have been able to do so. This is because if the origin of a universe is damaged too severely, it would be too difficult to repair. As for transferring the origin of another complete universe, that would be impossible.

This method is extremely difficult and not very meaningful, because it would be better to directly grasp the universe with its complete origin. Luo Yuan looked at the monster that appeared in front of him, which could easily use the secret formula of space type. Whether it was space jump or various powerful attack methods formed by space, they all seemed very powerful.

If it were anyone else encountering a monster of this type, they would likely have been wiped out here long ago. However, Luo Yuan is a super strong person from another universe. Although his current strength is sealed, his knowledge is incomparable to that of the strong people in this universe.

Therefore, although Luo Yuan cannot use the power of space now, he can easily dodge the various attacks launched by this monster. Judging from Luo Yuan's current realm and strength, he is actually much stronger than this monster. However, this monster has mastered very strange spatial techniques.

Therefore, it would be quite difficult for Luo Yuan to completely suppress or eliminate it, which is why he did not eliminate it in a short time. However, he also knew that he could not linger here for too long, because once the other monsters around him reacted, they might attack at the same time.

Luo Yuan will be in danger then. All the geniuses who came to participate in the assessment were already in danger after arriving in this controlled universe, because they knew very well that their strength was now sealed, and no matter how powerful they were before, they could not use it now.

They can only rely on their own knowledge and skills, or the abilities they have acquired through cultivation, to survive as long as possible. However, without a cautious mindset, they might perish here, which is very difficult for these geniuses to accept, after all, their strength has reached a level comparable to the creator god.

It can be said that their strength is top-tier even in this universe. If they were to be eliminated by these weaker beings during the assessment process, they would feel extremely resentful and angry. Therefore, the requirements for the mentality and coping abilities of these strong individuals are extremely high.

They were able to completely suppress their pride in dangerous environments and better integrate into the current environment, constantly improving themselves. This was the true meaning of the test. Luo Yuan even felt that the super strong people in the universe he represented might have been too proud back then.

He thus lowered his guard and was eventually eliminated by the super strong beings in his universe. Otherwise, why would they have such high requirements for these geniuses in terms of assessment when setting up the training base? However, this was not a very important matter for Luo Yuan.

Because during his battle with this demonic beast, he is constantly analyzing and learning about the various innate abilities it uses. Although Luo Yuan is not yet able to fully control the power of space at his current level, he can indirectly control the power of space by learning the beast's innate abilities.

Since demonic beasts can do this, Luo Yuan can naturally do it too. Although it takes the power of one's own bloodline to reach this level, Luo Yuan himself has a very strong learning ability. So as long as he can understand the source of power used when performing spatial techniques, he can completely control it.

Luo Yuan possesses such methods because he places great importance on learning and mastering various inheritances during his cultivation process. Over time, he naturally developed a perfect learning process, which also allowed him to form a kind of innate ability.

Moreover, this ability cannot be sealed by any force, because it is his innate divine power. Therefore, he can now use this ability to learn various methods that other beings possess. This is also an important trump card that gives Luo Yuan the courage to venture into different dangerous areas. It can be said that if Luo Yuan encounters a powerful enemy, as long as these enemies cannot eliminate him immediately.

In this way, Luo Yuan can continuously become stronger in the process of fighting his opponent, and learn all the various methods his opponent possesses. After each battle, he will become stronger and stronger. That's why Luo Yuan feels that the various methods and abilities he controls are the foundation of his existence.

Instead of relying on so-called inheritances to become stronger, Luo Yuan believed that those inheritances were actually summaries made by other powerful individuals during their cultivation process, and it was unclear whether they were suitable for him. Therefore, Luo Yuan never regarded any inheritance as his main cultivation system.

Each time he received a powerful inheritance, he would digest it completely and integrate it into his own cultivation system, then create all sorts of incredible methods for himself. Of course, these abilities he created before were basically derived from those powerful inheritances.

Therefore, he is definitely unable to use his abilities now that they have been sealed. However, this will not prevent Luo Yuan from creating new methods based on the abilities he currently possesses. So, during the battle, he constantly maneuvered with the monster, because Luo Yuan did not intend to make it disappear immediately, since the monster's spatial abilities were extremely sophisticated.

If Luo Yuan could control it, he believed that it would be easier for him to obtain the treasures he wanted in this forest. Then, even if he wanted to leave, no monster could stop him. At the same time, Luo Yuan also thought of something else: the monster he had seen was capable of such powerful innate abilities.

Do other demonic beasts also possess similar talents and abilities? If so, Luo Yuan could master more of these powerful abilities during his battles with these demonic beasts. Even if his cultivation level doesn't improve, his combat ability would definitely be much stronger than most powerful individuals.

Time passed quickly. As Luo Yuan continued to master the various spatial techniques possessed by the monster during the battle, he realized that other monsters had appeared around him. Therefore, he had to resolve the current trouble as soon as possible, so he did not hesitate.
