I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

If it weren't for the fact that Luo Yuan's control over the inheritance was strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to fully utilize these resources with special powers. However, the original power that he has seen in any resource so far has only been extracted and accumulated by him, and placed in a fixed space.

He didn't absorb it because he knew this power was extremely precious, and it would be a waste to use it only to enhance his strength. However, Luo Yuan noticed an anomaly that occurred after these two powerful individuals completely fused with a large amount of primordial power.

This means that something else must have been added to the primal power transmitted by the primal will. Luo Yuan doesn't know what this added substance is, but it's definitely not a good thing, because it will have a corresponding impact on the strong who absorb it to enhance their strength.

They can even experience all sorts of situations depending on their environment. For example, Luo Yuan noticed that the emotions displayed by the two powerful figures in front of him were very difficult to control, and they would even fly into a rage over the smallest things.

This shows that after absorbing the source power, they are unable to maintain a rational state. Any strong person who defies them will be immediately eliminated by them. Fortunately, Luo Yuan did not devour the source power on this planet in the first place.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know what would happen. Fortunately, through his previous observations, he discovered that the powerful beings on the planet who had fused with the power of origin had not changed much for the time being. Perhaps it was because they had not fused with enough power of origin, so no obvious changes had occurred.

This is because any strong person, once their physical qualities are improved, will definitely have very strong resistance. So, to affect them, a sufficient amount of primal power is needed. Moreover, the stronger the person, the stronger their resistance to primal power that has undergone special changes.

It's impossible to obtain a resource that can comprehensively enhance one's strength without causing any problems, because such a thing doesn't exist in this world. Otherwise, why would so many powerful individuals train diligently to improve their strength?

The fundamental will of this world is only concerned with cultivating some strong individuals in a short period of time to solve its current predicament. It has not considered whether these strong individuals can continue to develop after completing their tasks, because once these people lose their value, they will be disposed of like ants.

Or perhaps the original will never intended for these powerful beings to grow to their highest level. Even if it could cultivate ruler-level powerhouses, they would ultimately lose the direction to continue moving forward and the potential for development. Once they lose the opportunity to continue growing, they will be controlled by the will of the universe.

This suggests that there should be many powerful beings in this universe, but so far there haven't been many super-powerful ones. This is because as strength increases, reaching higher realms requires more cultivation resources.

Even if the power of origin could be used to urge them to improve quickly, it would still take time, and the number of powerful individuals would only decrease. The problem is that even if the native powerful individuals in this universe know that absorbing the power of origin to improve their strength would cause various problems, they have no other choice.

For them, if they remain strong, they will be replaced or eliminated. Therefore, they must constantly strive to become stronger at great cost in order to gain more resources and status.

Moreover, these ordinary-born powerhouses already have short lifespans. After absorbing the source power and becoming even stronger, their lifespans will also increase significantly. So, they will never lose money no matter what. Therefore, even knowing whether there is a problem with the source power, they still absorb and devour it.

Therefore, the universe and Luo Yuan's feeling have entered a completely distorted state. In order to become stronger, everyone has to absorb the problematic source power, but at the same time, they lose their future. The source will is also trying to save its own future fate, so it is now sparing no effort to cultivate a more powerful existence.

This situation is extremely dangerous for these powerful individuals from outside, because if anyone fails to control themselves and absorbs this primal power, they may eventually become a puppet controlled by the primal will.

Not all the geniuses participating in the assessment possess the means to properly utilize these primal powers like Luo Yuan. Therefore, in order to achieve better results in this assessment, they will definitely try to find ways to utilize this special primal power, because this power is a unique existence in the universe and is more precious than any cultivation resource.

However, they did not receive any relevant information when they came to this universe to participate in the assessment, which means that the super strong people who organized the assessment must have known about this. So why didn't they give any reminders? It is very likely that they themselves absorbed this powerful energy.

In order to rapidly increase their strength, is it possible that they are actually being controlled by the original will of this universe? If so, Luo Yuan felt that the matter behind this was too complicated. In other words, those powerful beings in independent universes that have lost their dominant power are trying to control a universe with abundant cultivation resources and this special power.

So they made arrangements here in advance, even turning it into a base for cultivating geniuses and powerful individuals. Their original plan was simply to quickly increase the power in their universe and then cultivate a dominant powerhouse, so that they could escape the fate of being controlled by other universes.

Then they discovered that there was a kind of extraordinary power in this universe that could rapidly increase strength without having much impact on one's own foundation. Any strong person would not hesitate to use this power to improve their strength.

However, they were unaware that this power had long been controlled by the original will of this universe, and had even turned around to control their high-ranking figures. But so far, there has been no destruction of the original source of that independent universe, which means that the original will of this universe has not yet fully controlled that independent universe, and is only in the process of doing so.

This means that these geniuses from the outside world who are released here will eventually become objects for the original will of this universe to cultivate into powerful beings. In other words, the original will of this universe allows geniuses from the outside world to come here in order to use them as part of the process of cultivating powerful beings.

After all, no matter how outstanding these geniuses in this universe are, they are still affected by their environment. Since that's the case, it's better to absorb the top geniuses from other universes. This can speed up the training process. As long as one truly decisive genius emerges, that will be enough.

This means that the one controlling everything behind the scenes is not the super-strong individuals in the independent universe, but the original will of this universe. Perhaps the geniuses like Luo Yuan who participated in the assessment had their information transmitted after they descended into this world, and were known to the strong individuals in this universe.

However, they did not interfere, but let them develop freely, because in their view, even if these geniuses were not native to this universe, they would definitely absorb the special powers of this world in order to become stronger.

Under long-term influence, they will eventually be controlled by the original will of this universe, which is an important reason why they sealed the original strength of these geniuses.

When Luo Yuan first arrived in this universe, he found it very strange to discover that their power was sealed, because those who participated in the assessment had already reached the level of creator gods, a level that could be considered high-level in a universe.

So, only the power of the universe's rules could be able to seal their strength so instantly, and only a powerful being that controls the fundamental rules of the universe could achieve this. If we understand it as the primordial space within this universe doing such a thing, it makes perfect sense.

So Luo Yuan appears to be hiding his identity well on the surface, but in fact, the original will of this universe must have known about it long ago. It's just that he is one of the countless geniuses who participated in the assessment, and his performance is not outstanding at the moment.

Therefore, he was not targeted. As long as he continues to improve, he is likely to be discovered, and while being trained, they will also try to control him.

Chapter 872 Special Substances

Chapter 872 Special Substances

Luo Yuan is a very cautious person, so whenever he encounters something unusual, he always thinks about whether there is something he doesn't know about behind these things. Whether his guess is correct or not, at least it allows him to be prepared, otherwise there will be no room for reversal when things happen.

However, given the current situation, Luo Yuan has a great advantage in this universe because he can perfectly devour any resource with primal power and remove any abnormal substances contained within it. Moreover, Luo Yuan has never thought of devouring these primal powers to enhance his own strength.

Although this power is strong, it is a substance produced by the most core primordial space of the universe. The more you absorb, the deeper you are connected to the origin of the universe. If any problems arise, you may be affected because it means that you have attached your entire existence, including your soul, to the primordial space.

So whoever controls the Origin Space means they can control these powerful individuals, and their future development potential will also be affected. No matter how outstanding their talents are, their development will ultimately be completely restricted by the entity that controls the Origin Space.

If Luo Yuan can ultimately defeat the primordial will and become the master of this universe, then he will also be able to control all the powerful beings. In fact, Luo Yuan does not know where the special substances contained in these primordial energies come from, but they have no effect on him, only on these native powerful beings.

Perhaps some powerful beings are doing this intentionally to limit the speed at which these people's strength increases. In that case, only the most powerful beings in this universe could do this, perhaps the super strong beings of the entire universe.

After all, although those super strong individuals cannot directly use and control the power of the origin, they can still control the strong individuals living in this universe through other means. No matter how much these people improve their strength, they will never be able to surpass them.

During the battle, Luo Yuan also gained an accurate assessment of the abilities possessed by the powerful individuals in the core area. These people were extremely powerful in combat; after all, to rise from this planet and eventually become a top-tier existence, they must have experienced numerous battles.

It's not surprising that they have such rich combat experience, after all, these people are very talented. However, Luo Yuan noticed that their fighting style was completely different from that of other strong beings on this planet, which means that the lord of this planet may have been venturing out into the universe.

Not only did he obtain valuable cultivation resources, but he also acquired mature cultivation methods, which he then taught to these top experts and trained them. However, this is consistent with the logic of all a lord's actions, since for him, this planet is merely a tool to acquire more resources.

However, this tool cannot be truly used yet. It can only be used after it is continuously improved to meet the required standards. Once he understands everything that these two powerful individuals possess, there is no need for him to continue fighting them, since Luo Yuan's strength is far greater than theirs.

In particular, his combat skills were far superior to those of these two powerful individuals. After all, Luo Yuan's starting point was much higher than theirs. Therefore, Luo Yuan ultimately used powerful methods to control them, but he was unable to eliminate them immediately.

Because eliminating them would alert the other powerful figures in the core area, but fortunately, after Luo Yuan took control of these two powerful figures, he also obtained their memories, especially the ways they communicated with the other powerful figures in the core area.

Luo Yuan felt that it was better to take the initiative than to wait here. Although his current strength might not be the strongest on this planet, there were actually not many beings who could truly be compared to him. And Luo Yuan didn't know that even if he could keep these two powerful figures here...

Over time, this will inevitably attract even more powerful beings. As they experience more of these things, the powerful figures in the core area will become truly wary. Many things don't necessarily require personal testing to reach a conclusion.

They can make accurate analyses based on their situation, so Luo Yuan felt that if he took the same action again, there would definitely be a lot of explanations about the situation when he arrived here. Moreover, Luo Yuan learned from the memories of these two powerful individuals that the total number of them in the entire core area actually reached over a hundred.

Moreover, they are all experts at the fifth level of the Stellar Realm or above. While their strength might not seem significant in the universe, they are extremely powerful to any ordinary person. One of them could even occupy a planet.

Most importantly, these people have great potential for development. If that lord truly breaks through to the cosmic level, he can then spend time and resources to focus on developing these people, further enhancing their strength, and ultimately gaining control of a powerful legion.

There are actually many powerful beings in the universe. They were not strong enough originally, nor did they have a powerful background. So, after they cultivated to the universe level through their own talents, they began to intentionally cultivate their subordinates. Then, after they had a large number of powerful beings under their control, they began to establish their own families.

This is why there are some powerful families in the universe. They often develop through individual strength, rather than constantly forming powerful forces with different families like other forces, ultimately possessing considerable combat power and thus controlling vast areas.

The biggest difference between these forces and families is that the controllers of these forces are not a single person, but several. When these people form a force, they will work together to solve problems, but when they gain benefits, they will also cause problems between them in order to compete for the benefits.

Moreover, these people cannot make decisions alone when faced with any situation; they must go through a vote by the whole group before they can act. However, families are different because they are established after a powerful individual rises to power, so they are essentially the domain of one person.

Whether it's the precious resources they acquire or the status they possess, they will be at the highest level, and no one will be able to oppose them. However, the family's power comes entirely from the most powerful founder, so if something happens to the founder, it will cause problems for the entire family.

However, powerful factions are different. Because there are more powerful beings, they have more capacity to bear risks. But if a powerful figure in a faction falls, the corresponding faction will also lose its status.

Therefore, Luo Yuan felt that he could use covert means to eliminate one of these two people, then go to the core area and control the most powerful people, thus easily gaining control of the core area.

No matter what force it is, as long as it controls the strongest entity, then there is no need to pay attention to the rest, because the most powerful people are often in the management. Luo Yuan only needs to control these management personnel to control everyone else.

Therefore, Luo Yuan has no need to make enemies of all the star-level powerhouses in the core area, because that would not only waste time but also put him in danger. However, Luo Yuan still needs to make a good plan, since he is not very familiar with the specific situation in the core area.

Although Luo Yuan gained some understanding of the powerful forces in the core area by deciphering the memories of these two experts during this period, their status in the core area was not very high; they were only at the guard level. That's why they were sent out to investigate the situation here immediately.

So, it would be quite difficult for Luo Yuan to get in touch with the highest-level management personnel after he arrived there. Moreover, Luo Yuan was certain that the strongest people in the core area he controlled were definitely at the ninth level of the Stellar Realm. The strength of a person at this level can be regarded as the strongest existence below the cosmic level.

However, they still had to obey the lord's orders, which means that although the planetary lord's realm had not truly reached the cosmic level, his combat power was likely to exceed that of an ordinary cosmic level. Otherwise, how could he suppress so many powerful beings and make them obey his orders?

The strength of any powerful individual cannot be judged solely by their cultivation level, as many possess the ability to fight beyond their level. This is not only due to the difference in cultivation level, but also to the techniques they employ and the power boost provided by the treasures they possess.

Moreover, the fact that the lord could survive even outside the universe indicates that his strength and combat power must be extremely powerful. After wandering outside the universe for so long, he must have obtained many valuable items. In particular, Luo Yuan noticed that there were spaceships in the core area that could travel to other planets.

Such resources are only found in the core area of ​​the entire planet. Other places simply offer no opportunity for you to access them because their strength has not yet reached the corresponding level. Moreover, for the lord of the entire planet, these are merely tools for creating value for lords who have not reached the core star level.

The thinking patterns of those in positions of power and those in positions of power are completely different. This is because their perspectives on interests determine their thought processes. For those in positions of power, their primary concern is their own interests, but they are also easily influenced by various ideologies.

However, for those in power, what they consider is not only their own development but also whether the territory they control can be further expanded. They may even think about how to gain more advantages in the future. Therefore, as leaders, they are more concerned about their own future and do not care about the situation of their subordinates.

Therefore, those in power are often ruthless because they have already put all the resources into themselves. In fact, what Luo Yuan really wants to control is that lord he has never met, because the most valuable person on this planet is none other than that lord.

The inheritance and information he possesses, including cultivation resources, far exceed those of everyone else on the planet. However, Luo Yuan cannot act rashly without understanding the situation, so he decides to first take control of the powerful individuals on the planet.

Then, by using various means to bring that lord back, the combat power of all the star-level experts in the entire core area will be gathered to test the lord's true strength. If Luo Yuan finds that the lord's combat power does not exceed his own, then...

Then Luo Yuan can take control of it and complete the novice village mission. If Luo Yuan is confident that the fighting power of that race far exceeds his imagination, then he can temporarily hide his strength until he surpasses that lord before making a move.

Therefore, he can handle both offense and defense with ease, but the prerequisite is that the lord does not discover his existence. In particular, Luo Yuan only manipulates everything from behind the scenes. He will only appear in front of everyone after he finds that the situation on the first day is completely in his favor.

After making thorough preparations, he didn't notify anyone. Instead, he transformed into one of the two powerful beings in the game through practical combat transformation techniques. Originally, Luo Yuan didn't have this ability, but after simulating and learning the abilities of the demon beast with transformation powers during his previous battles with those demon beasts, he gained this new ability.

Luo Yuan has improved and enhanced the abilities of this patient by comprehending the rules of this world, so it is absolutely impossible for anyone who has not reached the universe level to see through Luo Yuan's disguise.

However, Luo Yuan also knew that these powerful experts did not verify each other's identities by their appearance, but by their energy circulation patterns and soul information.

Luo Yuan wasn't worried about this aspect. After all, the transformation technique he possessed wasn't so simple; it allowed him to simulate another being in every way, from appearance to soul aura. He could even completely simulate the special primordial power that powerful being possessed.

Luo Yuan himself possesses a considerable amount of primal power, but he has never used it. Now, he cannot absorb it. He only needs to extract a portion from the primal power he controls and then integrate it with special energy substances to achieve a level of realism that is indistinguishable from the real thing.

However, when Luo Yuan extracted the special substance from the power of that powerful being, he discovered that this special substance actually contained the spiritual will left behind by that powerful being. This surprised Luo Yuan, because according to Luo Yuan's understanding of this universe, the source of these original powers actually came from the will in the original space.

Therefore, Luo Yuan wouldn't be surprised if his original power contained a special will. However, the will that Luo Yuan implemented was something completely different from the rules of the universe, which means that it could only be a state formed after being modified by a super strong person.

This means that a certain super strong person has also discovered the source power and possessed some special abilities, namely, by integrating their own spiritual will into it. Once absorbed by that strong person, they can then turn around and control it.

As long as these powerful individuals absorb a sufficient amount of special substances, and are closer to super-powerful individuals, they will find it easier to master them. This also made Luo Yuan realize that not all the top-level powerhouses in the universe were completely unaware of anything. It seems they also know that the primordial power possessed by this universe is very unique.

However, they still don't have a precise understanding of how this power was formed, so they can only resort to this very simple method to achieve their goals.

The problem is that no matter how strong their will is, it is impossible for them to surpass the cosmic will within the original space. In the end, these people may even become puppets of the cosmic will.

Chapter 873. Elders

This time, Luo Yuan decided to go to the core area alone to carry out his pre-arranged plan, and only he would personally execute it. This was because, compared to the powerful figures in the city, Luo Yuan's strength was undoubtedly the greatest.

Therefore, he can ensure his safety when he goes to the core area. In addition, the power of his transformation technique has reached a very strong level, so Luo Yuan can ensure that the people in the core area will not discover his true situation.

Moreover, Luo Yuan had already read all the memories of the person he had transformed into, and he could even perfectly replicate the soul and spiritual aura that the person possessed. As long as Luo Yuan did not directly reveal his identity to others, he believed that there were virtually no powerful individuals in the core area who could discover his identity.

Even the planetary lord might not be able to see through the clues. Furthermore, Luo Yuan needs to complete all his plans before the lord returns. Only in this way can he truly take control of the overall situation, because he doesn't know to what extent the lord has already controlled this planet.

If the other party possesses some special abilities, it's hard to say for sure. After all, the rules differ in different universes. If one becomes the lord of a planet, will the rules grant them certain abilities?

Luo Yuan was also unaware that before choosing to participate in such an adventure, he and other geniuses had actually obtained a lot of relevant information, including specific situations in other universes. Based on the information Luo Yuan knew, he knew that some universes had very special rules.

If one can reach a certain status or improve their strength to a certain level, they will be granted corresponding permissions by the rules of the universe. Even if the realm of those with such permissions is not very high, they can still have powerful combat strength. However, the scope of their use of such permissions is limited.

Although Luo Yuan has cultivated on this planet for a long time and has continuously observed and learned about some of the rules of this universe, he cannot guarantee that he has completely mastered or understood these rules, because he has only learned a part of them.

Many rules are actually hidden. Only by reaching a certain level or coming into contact with the requirements set by these rules can one know the relevant information. Therefore, in order to ensure that he will not encounter any problems, Luo Yuan always makes preparations before doing anything.

He would generally assume a certain situation would occur temporarily, and then make full preparations before setting off. Even if such a situation did occur in the end, he would not have anything to worry about. However, it would be even better if such a situation did not occur, because then he would not need to use any means himself.
