I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

The problem is that restoring the origin of a universe cannot be done by the creator god; only the universe controller and the sovereign-level powerhouse can do it. Therefore, the best way to achieve this goal is not to cultivate the native powerhouses in this universe, but to control the geniuses from independent universes outside.

Because these geniuses from outside the universe reside in a complete and undamaged world, they can return to their original universe and, through its rules, break through to a higher realm as long as they become powerful.

So once someone becomes a ruler-level powerhouse, they have the opportunity to control the primal power of their universe, and thus transfer that primal power. The problem is that these geniuses possess very powerful inheritances, and the rulers of their universes can sense the fluctuations in their soul aura.

If a dominant being realizes that the geniuses it sent out have been controlled by the primal will of other universes or by higher beings, then it will absolutely not relinquish its dominant position to these people; instead, it will eliminate them.

Therefore, the best way to deceive a ruler of the universe is to make these geniuses from the outside world willingly be controlled and obey his orders. So, special means cannot be used to control them. Instead, a subtle influence is needed to achieve the desired effect.

This universe is practically on the verge of extinction, so the most valuable treasures are those resources that contain primordial power. Moreover, once powerful beings from the outside world devour such primordial power, they will form a very close connection with this universe.

Unless one possesses the means to completely refine such primordial power, it is possible to avoid this problem. However, such abilities are usually only attainable at a very high level, and only dominant beings have such means. These geniuses who have come to take the adventure do not have the qualifications to use primordial power.

Therefore, once they leave this universe, these primal forces can no longer become their strength. In fact, the so-called primal forces can be understood as the authority that can be obtained in the entire universe. The stronger the primal forces they possess, the greater their authority to mobilize the rules of the universe.

Then you wouldn't need to expend any energy or cultivate any secret techniques; you could fight directly using the rules of the universe. At that time, you would have control over all the rules of the universe and could manipulate the power of the universe at will to do anything.

In reality, any secret technique is merely borrowing the power of the origin. Only those who can truly control the power of the origin are considered strong. This is why, once one's strength reaches the Immortal Realm, one must begin to comprehend and control the laws of the origin, for this is the correct way to truly control the power of the universe.

The problem is that such methods are only limited to one universe. Once you leave and go to another universe, they lose their effectiveness because the original power and authority that you have in other universes have no effect in this universe.

Therefore, unless one wants to control this universe and become a super strong being within it, devouring and absorbing the primal power is pointless. Thus, the geniuses from outside who come to this universe for adventure are not interested in the primal power of this universe.

However, in order to complete their missions and gain more benefits, they choose to control this power. But once the mission is complete, these geniuses will exhaust all of this primordial power, and may even use it to exchange for various treasures they need with the local powerhouses.

Regardless of the universe, resources can have the same effect. This has nothing to do with the special power of origin. So, geniuses from outside can use such resources. On the contrary, the power of origin, which these geniuses look down on, is the most important thing for the strong in their own universe.

Generally speaking, powerful individuals who cultivate within their own universe rarely venture to other universes to cultivate. This is mainly because the environments in which they are born are different, so the cosmic laws they need to comprehend and master are different. Only by continuously improving their strength within their own universe can they possibly reach a higher realm.

Unless they can become a dominant power, they will need to explore higher-dimensional universes to become even stronger. They must understand and comprehend the rules of other universes to make comparisons and ultimately achieve a breakthrough in their strength.

Because after the dimension is increased, it is no longer limited by the rules of that one universe. Of course, this can only be done in universes of the same level. So when Luo Yuan arrived in this small secret realm, he found that most of the strong people he was talking about were local strong people. He did not see many outside geniuses who had come with him on the adventure.

Of course, it's also possible that those geniuses have improved their strength faster than Luo Yuan, so they are exploring more powerful secret realms. After all, in order to ensure the completion of his final plan, Luo Yuan deliberately slowed down the speed of his strength improvement, doing so to ensure that he could get the greatest benefit in the end.

After all, Luo Yuan wasn't just aiming for the final ranking; he was preparing to become a higher-level ruler. Therefore, Luo Yuan didn't have any impetuous thoughts because he knew very well what he wanted.

Moreover, Luo Yuan is very different from other geniuses from the outside world in that his thirst for the primal power of the universe is even greater than that of these local powerhouses. This is because only Luo Yuan knows that if he can control the primal power that surpasses the strongest primal will in this universe, then he will have the potential to replace the entire universe.

However, the original will of this universe wants to do the same thing as Luo Yuan will do in the future: to restore its own core original space and thus elevate its dimension to its original state. However, in order to achieve this goal, the original will uses all the powerful beings in the universe as tools to change this outcome.

While this approach aligns perfectly with the logic of the primordial will, achieving success is extremely difficult. The emergence of a super genius capable of altering the primordial's demise is essentially a matter of probability, as any universe requires a significant sacrifice to produce a genius capable of becoming a dominant force.

Furthermore, it would take a very long time to succeed. Even if the primordial will consumed all the primordial power of the universe, it would be impossible to create such a genius. Moreover, the primordial power of this universe has already been damaged, so achieving such a goal would be even more difficult.

That's why it's necessary to bring in geniuses from the outside universe to increase the probability. However, the original will is also worried that those super geniuses from the outside universe might increase their strength by acquiring a lot of resources here, and then pose a threat to it once they reach a certain level.

That's why it's necessary to cultivate strong individuals within the local universe, giving them the ability to fight back. Even if we can't cultivate such super geniuses, improving the overall combat power still provides an opportunity to change the current situation. In any case, it's much better than doing nothing and waiting for demise.

Therefore, Luo Yuan's real competitor should be the primal will that is hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything. Luo Yuan has the courage to compete with the primal will for control of the universe because he knows that he has the talent and potential to become a ruler-level powerhouse. He only needs enough time and resources to do so.

Only then would Luo Yuan truly regard the power of origin as the most important thing in this universe. As for other cultivation resources, Luo Yuan didn't really value them, because those things were only enough to elevate one to the level of a creator god, which was already quite remarkable.

However, those who came to explore, such as Luo Yuan, had often reached the realm of creator gods. Even if their cultivation was sealed, they only regarded this test as a training exercise. The goal was to make these geniuses truly let down their guard here.

To cultivate the fundamental laws of this place and improve one's strength, just like the local powerhouses, is actually very difficult. Even if they eventually gain great power in this world, it doesn't really enhance their own strength much.

So once they leave this universe, all the power they gain will be meaningless, because they can only use their own combat strength. However, if they can obtain more information and resources during the exploration process, it will be worthwhile.

Then these things can be taken back and replaced with the things needed by the higher-ups in the original universe. If there were no such benefits, why would so many geniuses from the outside world come here for the assessment?

Therefore, Luo Yuan believed that no genius was like him, treating the entire process of cultivation in this universe as an essential path to starting over. Moreover, it could be said that Luo Yuan took this test more seriously than any other genius. In fact, in order to achieve his goal, he even pretended to absorb a lot of primal power.

However, no one knew that Luo Yuan had actually collected all of this primordial power and then, through the rapid increase in his apparent strength, took this action. In the eyes of those super strong people who controlled him behind the scenes, Luo Yuan's actions made him seem like a very down-to-earth and practical person.

This would also allow them to truly lower their guard against Luo Yuan's identity, because if it were just geniuses from the outer universe who wanted to come here to obtain information, there would be no need to do so, as it would not only waste a lot of time but also affect their future cultivation.

Luo Yuan actually outperformed those local powerhouses, so no matter how much the higher-ups doubted him, they couldn't truly regard Luo Yuan as one of the geniuses from the outside world. This made it easier for Luo Yuan to acquire the resources and status they could have, which was one of Luo Yuan's goals.

After all, he couldn't possibly do something bad to his original universe in order to restore the original power of this universe, because Luo Yuan couldn't use the power of his original universe, not to mention that there were many powerful super strong people in Luo Yuan's original universe.

If Luo Yuan dared to transfer his original power, he would be immediately discovered by these super strong individuals, which would certainly not bring him any benefit. Moreover, Luo Yuan would not allow his original universe to be threatened for the sake of an unfamiliar universe.

The best approach would be to completely borrow the primal power of another universe to repair the damaged core primal space. This way, Luo Yuan could not only minimize the threat level but also ultimately gain better support, because once he could raise the dimension of the universe, those ruler-level powerhouses would become his allies.

If Luo Yuan sacrificed the futures of other geniuses to gain a higher status and greater strength, he would certainly face resistance and hostility from many powerful figures. However, since Luo Yuan was able to achieve greater improvement without affecting them, there would be no such consequences. Instead, he would earn genuine admiration from others.

Chapter 885. The Hunter

There are many powerful individuals in this small secret realm, and those who dare to come here are all top-tier individuals at the cosmic level. Even if they have various purposes, since they have come here, they must be ready to fight at any time.

Whether it's to obtain the accumulated power of other powerful individuals below, or simply to acquire resources to improve their own realm and strength in this secret realm, not all powerful individuals actually hope to enhance their strength by obtaining and fusing with the power of origin.

Because they knew in their hearts that since this primordial power could enhance their combat power without any cost, there must be some kind of trap involved. Regardless of the special substances it contained, this made these powerful individuals somewhat wary of the primordial power.

Although they were unaware that a primal will was manipulating everything behind the scenes, and even indirectly controlling these powerful individuals through these primal forces, it always made people feel wary. Moreover, for those true geniuses, they believed that they could quickly improve their strength even without fusing with primal forces.

Because that kind of combat power is achieved through one's own hard work and cultivation, there are some powerful beings in the universe who insist on improving their strength by following the most original cultivation methods. Although their speed of improvement in realm is much slower than that of those powerful beings who integrate the power of origin to improve their realm and strength, their combat power is conversely stronger.

Because of the strength they gained through their own cultivation, they have built a very powerful foundation. In addition, they do not have to worry about being affected by special substances, so they can always maintain their own minds. No matter how strong the original will is, it is impossible to completely control these strong people who have their own independent thoughts and wills.

The problem is that these people don't know the current state of the universe, so no matter how hard they try, they can't escape the universe's constraints and reach higher realms. Of course, they can experience the most wonderful life before the universe completely dies.

So to some extent, these geniuses all experienced different lives according to their own ideas, so there is nothing to regret. However, for those strong individuals with lofty ambitions and ideas, once they know the truth, they may not necessarily continue to persevere.

Since their efforts ultimately prove meaningless, they might as well merge with these primal forces like other powerful beings to enhance their own strength, since in the universe, the level of strength determines the resources and status they enjoy.

Therefore, the top powerhouses in the entire universe must know what happened, but they have not made any such thing public. This is because their perspective and the cosmic information they have access to determine their stance.

As for Luo Yuan, he only had real thoughts about the power of origin when he came to this small secret realm used for combat. In fact, there were not many resources for cultivation in this secret realm, so he was immediately targeted by other powerful figures as soon as he entered.

That's because Luo Yuan deliberately concealed his aura. Rather than waiting for these powerful figures to appear and fight him, he preferred to let them appear on their own and then eliminate them to obtain their source power.

However, Luo Yuan couldn't stay in battle forever. He was only interested in those powerful individuals who possessed a large amount of primordial power, and these powerful individuals were often strong hunters. So Luo Yuan began to fight these powerful individuals.

There's nothing to describe about the whole process because there was nothing else to do besides fighting. Even when he encountered some resources that could help with his cultivation along the way, Luo Yuan didn't care because he knew that these resources would definitely be sought out and collected by some powerful individuals.

He only needs to eliminate these people to obtain these things, without wasting time finding these resources. Every time a small secret realm is opened, it is a time for strong people to fight each other, which means that a large number of strong people will gather. Therefore, every strong person who enters the secret realm is prepared.

They were prepared to perish at any moment, and even so, they were willing to fight at the cost of their lives in order to have the opportunity to become stronger quickly. However, no matter how strong an opponent is, after they have destroyed the opponent and devoured the source power, they cannot immediately integrate it.

To improve his combat power, he would definitely need to find a safe place to train before coming out to continue fighting. After fighting so many times, he had forgotten his original plan. He knew very well that no matter how he tried to hide his whereabouts, he could not hide in such a densely populated area of ​​strong people indefinitely.

So he simply eliminated any powerful opponents he encountered. As a result, Luo Yuan did nothing but fight. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he noticed that there were not many powerful figures left in the secret realm.

He possessed far more primal power than he had previously gathered from various resources to enhance it. This made Luo Yuan realize that fighting these powerful individuals and acquiring primal power was the true method, far more efficient than painstakingly collecting treasures containing primal power.

It's no wonder that the powerful beings in this universe are constantly fighting. It seems that they have already noticed this situation. However, what Luo Yuan did not expect was that the strength he displayed in the small secret realm would also shock the other powerful beings, because they had not found a person named Luo Yuan in the information they had collected.

After all, Luo Yuan is usually very low-key, and he won't show it even if his strength improves. So when he showed a strength far beyond his current level, all the powerful people who were hostile to him eventually perished. Luo Yuan didn't even know how many powerful people he had eliminated in the battle in front of him.

Then Luo Yuan noticed that his information had been transmitted to the virtual platform by some powerful individuals. However, what they didn't know was that Luo Yuan was doing this to ensure his safety.

He would change his appearance before engaging in battle, so no one knew his true identity. All they knew was that a peerless genius had appeared, whose realm was still only at the cosmic level, but whose combat power far exceeded their imagination.

It should be noted that among the powerful individuals who have come to this small secret realm, in addition to some lone travelers, there are also many geniuses from different forces. These geniuses have cultivated powerful inherited secret techniques since childhood and also possess extremely powerful treasures, so their combat power can be said to have even reached the level of a domain lord.

However, Luo Yuan completely suppressed and eventually annihilated all these powerful figures. No one could even understand the fighting style Luo Yuan displayed. They only felt that Luo Yuan's fighting style was very simple, but the power he displayed was much stronger than theirs.

This is not only because Luo Yuan has more combat experience than them, but also because after years of cultivation, he has mastered various techniques to a high degree, so even simple moves can unleash powerful attacks in Luo Yuan's hands.

However, in the eyes of these powerful beings at the cosmic level, Luo Yuan is a born fighter, because only such a person could possess such great strength. But this also means that Luo Yuan will attract the attention of more powerful beings and forces.

They had various plans, whether to win over Luo Yuan or eliminate him. Luo Yuan didn't care too much about these things. He had also come out of the small secret realm, and his gains this time far exceeded his expectations. Therefore, he would continue to go to different secret realms.

He only wanted to accumulate a large amount of primordial power in a short period of time through this method, but he could not reveal his true information, because although he gained corresponding benefits in the battle, he also eliminated the geniuses that those forces had painstakingly cultivated.

In the long run, he will only offend more powerful figures. After all, these geniuses often have powerful backgrounds or powerful figures behind them. Luo Yuan's behavior has obviously crossed their bottom line. No matter what Luo Yuan's purpose is, the more powerful figures he eliminates, the higher his risk factor will be.

Therefore, Luo Yuan was very careful when fighting in the secret realm. First, he would choose an identity that he needed to replace, control and eliminate it, and then take on that identity before carrying out the next elimination plan. As long as he could achieve his goal, he could appear in that identity.

Then he can just find some excuse to disappear. Even if someone suspects him, he won't know who he really is. This is mainly because there are no special identity verification requirements for those who enter these secret realms. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for anyone who enters to get out.

If Luo Yuan were only doing this in one secret realm, it would be fine. But if he did this in all the secret realms, it would undoubtedly arouse suspicion from others. In such a place where so many powerful people gathered, everyone else was wiped out, but Luo Yuan was always able to survive.

This in itself seemed very strange, so Luo Yuan would change his identity every time he entered the secret realm to ensure that he would be noticed by those powerful figures. Even later, when the higher-ups of those forces decided to conduct a full-scale investigation of every powerful figure who entered the secret realm, he was still able to keep up.

Their identities were confirmed and they were registered before being allowed in. Then, when they came out of the secret realm, they were checked again to find the powerful person behind all this, because Luo Yuan's actions had indeed affected the development of many forces.

Luo Yuan has not yet truly grown to the most powerful level in this universe, so he still needs to be careful. Therefore, the most important thing for him to do is to obtain as much primordial power as possible while ensuring his own safety.

However, since Luo Yuan was able to obtain the power of origin more quickly by eliminating other powerful beings, he no longer cared much about collecting treasures that contained the power of origin. Therefore, Luo Yuan eventually set his sights on those hunters who had a bad reputation in the universe but were powerful.

Based on Luo Yuan's current behavior, he can be considered one of the top hunters. Therefore, it is quite normal for other powerful individuals to target him and want to eliminate him. Since Luo Yuan alone possesses so much primal power, other hunters of the same level must have also accumulated a lot of primal power through long-term battles.

While the universe doesn't prohibit powerful beings from devouring each other's essence through battle, this behavior must be limited and cannot be taken too far. After all, eliminating too many people will make one an uncontrollable target in the eyes of other powerful beings.

Moreover, the more primal power one acquires, the greater the degree to which one will be influenced by special substances after fusion. Such powerful individuals often lose their instinctive judgment and become people who only engage in battle. Therefore, such beings are very dangerous to other powerful individuals, and they will be eliminated once discovered.

Therefore, regardless of their abilities and background, they will eventually lose their own existence by devouring the source power of other powerful beings. There are indeed such powerful beings in the universe. Although they are strong and talented, they are not without their own strength.

However, because they cannot control their own hearts, they eventually become people who only know how to fight. These people will lose the protection of the strong and become wanderers in the universe. Luo Yuan hopes to find these people and eliminate them.

He did this not to gain any prestige, but simply because he felt that such a place must contain more good source power. Perhaps the amount of source power that Luo Yuan could absorb by eliminating all the strong people in a secret realm would not even be as much as the amount of source power he could obtain by eliminating a top hunter.

Moreover, because Luo Yuan went too far in the secret realm, he needs to pause for a while to avoid being targeted by those super strong individuals. They will then send powerful individuals to hide or temporarily suppress their cultivation levels to enter the secret realm and wait for him to appear.

In that case, no matter how careful Luo Yuan is, they will find his trail. This is not what Luo Yuan wants to see. Those top hunters are already very famous in the entire universe. They have become the target of all the strong people who want to eliminate them. Naturally, they have also become the target of some powerful forces who want to eliminate them by issuing missions.

If Luo Yuan can find and eliminate these hunters, he can also obtain another benefit. Of course, he cannot claim such a benefit with his real information and identity. However, there are many ways for him to obtain such a benefit.

Fortunately, the identities of these top hunters are public knowledge in the universe, so many powerful individuals and even small teams want to find them, suppress or eliminate them. Even if they cannot eliminate them, they can still receive rewards simply by reporting their locations.

Luo Yuan then obtained a list containing many powerful top hunters. After only glancing through the information, Luo Yuan discovered that these people were all once very talented geniuses, and top-tier ones at that.

Although they were once core members painstakingly cultivated by powerful forces, once they became hunters who only knew how to fight to obtain the power of origin, these forces would immediately strip them of all their identities.

Although they hoped to bring these geniuses back and change their minds so that all the resources they had invested wouldn't be wasted, the geniuses who had gone down this path were basically unable to turn back, because the benefits they had gained had made them lose their original intentions.

Chapter 886. The Power of Origin

When Luo Yuan emerged from the small secret realm, he discovered that his strength had increased significantly compared to before, and he was not far from becoming a domain lord. Even though he had kept most of the resources and had not used them, his strength had indeed surpassed that of other powerful individuals.

Moreover, Luo Yuan also obtained a lot of Origin Power. Luo Yuan knew that what he should do next was to continue to improve his realm while also acquiring more Origin Power. In fact, Luo Yuan's current realm improvement was less about increasing his strength and more about reaching a certain level of strength before he was unsealed.

Therefore, one can improve quickly without using too many resources. However, there is a problem with this approach: one's strength improves too quickly without any accumulation, resulting in a lower score in the final assessment ranking.

Because this time, for those super strong individuals who were controlling and investigating them behind the scenes, what they really cared about was Luo Yuan's performance in this universe. After all, these strong individuals were already very powerful and did not need to increase their cultivation speed in this universe to achieve their goals.

Even if someone can recover their original state and become a creator god in a very short time, but fails to achieve good results in the final assessment, then such a process is useless. In that case, what everyone should really do is consider how to improve their evaluation.
