Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 425

Countless stars and black holes collided and devoured each other, yet they could not cause the slightest fluctuation in the emotions of the two eternal gods.

As time passed, the Divine Tree clone gradually became immersed in the game, even controlling its black hole to form a three-dimensional image, devouring stars on a large scale and occupying a share of the universe's origin.

The two sides went back and forth, engaging in a lively game of strategy. The Divine Tree clone quickly went from being clumsy to becoming proficient, even incorporating its understanding of genetic structure into the process.

The entire contest lasted for nearly two epochs, and finally a three-dimensional map of stars encompassing the entire galaxy appeared in the cosmos.

All the stars are connected together, their energy is inexhaustible and eternally cyclical, making it impossible for a black hole to devour them.

"I lost..."

The divine sense of the Divine Tree clone slowly withdrew from the miniature universe. It didn't feel regretful, after all, it was its first time playing this game, and it was normal that it couldn't compare to the veteran player, General Black Moon.

"Haha, General Divine Tree, you've progressed very quickly too. Your understanding of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation is even stronger than I imagined." General Black Moon was equally surprised.

After two entertainment sessions, he discovered that the Divine Tree clone seemed to have had little contact with the Eternal True God before, and was unaware of many of the entertainment methods that the Eternal True God should have, and was even quite clumsy in combat.

"Could it be that after becoming an Eternal True God, he cultivated until his current level before emerging from seclusion?"

General Black Moon's heart stirred. If that was the case, the other party seemed to have more potential than he had imagined and was more worthy of being befriended.

"General Divine Tree, let's play another round!" General Black Moon said.

"it is good!"

Even the Divine Tree clone didn't refuse. The Rhinoceros Emperor's Game truly lived up to its reputation as the top entertainment activity on the Origin Continent; even he could gain something from the game.

……

Chapter 441 The Beast of the Realm Reappears

The Divine Tree Avatar and General Black Moon played nearly ten rounds of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game. From being completely crushed at the beginning, to being able to win even when he was on the defensive, this only lasted for a few dozen eras.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

Having witnessed the terrifying speed of progress of the Divine Tree clone, General Black Moon's desire to play chess instantly diminished. After all, what was more painful than not being able to improve himself was seeing his opponent constantly progressing.

For General Black Moon, it would take at least several million epochs to recover after his battle with the Divine Tree's avatar.

"Thank you for your guidance, General!"

The Divine Tree clone chuckled. The game of the Rhinoceros Emperor with the Eternal True God during this period was quite rewarding for him, no less so than his previous battle with the Eternal True God.

"This Rhinoceros Emperor's Game truly lives up to its reputation as an entertainment activity enjoyed by everyone on the Origin Continent, from children to god-kings. Over countless years of development, they've come up with all sorts of ingenious variations on this activity," the Divine Tree clone exclaimed inwardly.

Afterwards, the Divine Tree clone bid farewell to General Black Moon and arrived outside the Great Wall, directly approaching the border of the Wu Kingdom.

"General Kongwu, come and fight!" the divine tree clone taunted, its divine sense reaching an eternal true god on the side of the Martial Kingdom.

"How brave!"

A loud shout rang out, and a tall figure flew out from the Wu Kingdom's side. Neither side had brought any True God soldiers, so they were clearly prepared to fight directly.

General Kongwu, an eternal true god of the Wu Kingdom, walks the path of the origin of the universe's void. It is said that he has also comprehended a fifteenth-level secret technique, making him extremely powerful.

Having been on the battlefield between the two countries for so long, the Divine Tree clone has also gathered information about the eternal true gods of both sides.

For example, the fundamental principles one comprehends, one's battle achievements... these basic information are all publicly available.

The Divine Tree avatar itself had also comprehended the Way of Eternal Void, and was therefore very curious about the other Eternal True Gods' comprehension of these fundamental ways.

Compared to the Way of Eternal Origin, there are many more people who have comprehended the Way of Void.

Of all the eternal true gods on the battlefield between the two countries, only the Divine Tree avatar truly comprehended the Way of Eternity; the others were merely tangentially related.

However, there are three eternal true gods who have comprehended the Dao of the Void Origin, two of whom are from the Martial Kingdom. These are also the targets of the Divine Tree's avatars.

No, since we're already here, the Divine Tree clone is prepared to fight all the Eternal True Gods of the Martial Kingdom, so that this trip won't be in vain.

Dozens of eternal true gods have gathered on the border of the two countries. Apart from this place, only the Kingdom of God could gather so many eternal true gods at once.

However, it's not appropriate to act recklessly in places like that.

But in places like this, if you provoke them, they will usually retaliate to save face, and since they are already hostile forces, there are no other problems.

"Boundless Void!"

General Kongwu immediately unleashed a level 15 secret technique, clearly displeased that the Divine Tree clone had come knocking.

"The power of the void!"

The divine tree clone's eyes brightened slightly, and he felt the power of the entire surrounding space transform into an invisible giant hand, slapping towards him.

"As expected of the Wu Kingdom, they all seem to prefer the path of overwhelming others with force."

Moreover, it seems that the Eternal True Gods of the Martial Kingdom have also cultivated a secret technique, somewhat like the art of body refinement, which can temper their divine bodies.

The divine tree avatar fought against it, using its own understanding of the Eternal Path to contend with the Void Path. The secret techniques of both sides were at the same level, and the degree of confrontation was just right.

After fighting an Eternal True God, the Divine Tree avatar returned to the military camp to recover its divine body while exchanging ideas and insights on the primordial way with other Eternal True Gods from the same faction.

After feeling that it was about time, they went to fight the Eternal True God of the Wu Kingdom.

While fighting, he also comprehended the secrets, and the Divine Tree clone quickly integrated into the level that an Eternal True God should have.

Before we knew it, tens of thousands of epochs had passed.

The Divine Tree clone had also fought against almost all the Eternal True Gods in the entire frontier, and its understanding of the Origin Dao had also improved.

However, even with a mere ten thousand epochs and the Black Patterned Stone Pillar enjoying a million-fold time acceleration, this time is still too short, and it's still a bit short of comprehending a sixteenth-order secret technique.

After exchanging blows with these eternal true gods, the divine tree avatar calmed down, digesting and absorbing the insights gained over the years, and delving into the inheritance of the Liuzhong Sect.

All the inheritances within the entire Liuliu Chongzong sect were also in his mind. Without the suppression of the primordial universe, he could freely observe and comprehend them.

"The next focus is on the inheritance that surpasses the true gods within the Ryūjū Sect."

The divine tree avatar once again went into seclusion, and the entire border region became much quieter.

The war between the two countries was protracted, lasting for tens of thousands of years without any significant disturbance.

……

While the Divine Tree clone was in seclusion cultivating, the Sphia clone and the Golden Dragon clone were also adventuring in the Origin Continent.

Sphia's clone accidentally wandered into a dead end on a continent of origin. After finally managing to get out, it found itself in the territory of the natives. After a lot of trouble, it is now being hunted down.

As for the Golden Dragon clone, after years of planning, it finally joined one of the most powerful kingdoms on the entire Origin Continent, the "Tianmu Kingdom".

That's right, it's the kingdom of the Purple Wood God King who once enslaved the Beasts of the Three Thousand Dimensions.

Because the Divine Tree clone had joined a normal divine kingdom, the Golden Dragon clone set its sights on the mysterious Heavenly Tree Kingdom.

In the early days of the Origin Continent, there were also peak-level world beasts that caused trouble for many kingdoms and even destroyed some god kingdoms.

Therefore, even on the Origin Continent, the peak World Beasts are a terrible catastrophe.

However, since some time ago, the traces of the Beasts have become increasingly rare, and they have basically become legends, with even the Liuzhong Sect lacking records.

The only publicly available information about the Beasts is about the Beasts enslaved by the Purple Wood God King.

Even in the Tianmu Kingdom, the Beast of the Realm is almost a legend, but it is still a piece of useful information.

Coincidentally, the Golden Dragon's avatar descended upon the Origin Continent, which was not far from the Tianmu Kingdom. Therefore, it prepared to join this kingdom and investigate some information.

Tianmu Kingdom truly lives up to its reputation as a kingdom guarded by world beasts. Even the arrival of the Eternal True God, being an outsider, has caused immense trouble.

The Golden Dragon clone also put in a lot of effort before finally joining Tianmu Middle School.

Even if one joins, it is still difficult to meet the Beast of the Realm.

At least, none of the Eternal True Gods that the Golden Dragon's avatar met in the Heavenly Wood Kingdom had ever seen the legendary Beast of the Realm.

"There's no rush. We can explore the secrets hidden in the Origin Continent once the Jaden clone has reached its peak."

The golden dragon clone stayed peacefully in the Tianmu Kingdom. In any case, it had a World Beast as a safety net, so it was confident that it could withstand any calamity other than the Origin World Reincarnation.

"Slowly increase your strength and status, and gather intelligence."

Lu Yunhe's three clones also found their own affairs on the Origin Continent, but due to their limited strength, they did not cause any waves on the continent.

……

Primordial Universe Dimension!

Lu Yunhe's successful breakthrough in the cycle of reincarnation has a profound impact on the entire cosmic sea.

Because the Holy Land was established in the middle of the cycle of reincarnation, the entire primordial universe was essentially unified by the human race.

One hundred million epochs have passed since Lu Yunhe defeated the World Beast, and ten thousand epochs have passed since he successfully entered the cycle of reincarnation.

In the span of one hundred million epochs, the Lord of Penggong, the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of Huangjian, and the Lord of Qingdong on the human side all broke through to the True God realm.

With the addition of the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord, the number of True Gods that the human race can utilize has increased to six.

Moreover, these are only beings at the True God level; if they were truly True Gods, their numbers would be even greater.

After the Eternal Lord successfully navigated the cycle of reincarnation, the Human Lord of Ultra succeeded him as the number one in the Cosmic Sea, and his strength was equally unfathomable.

Moreover, Zero and Tiga, the two disciples of the Eternal Lord, as well as Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor, the three disciples of the Ultra Lord, all demonstrated true god-level combat power at the Universe Lord level.

Luo Feng, in particular, is second only to the Eternal Lord and the Lord of Ultra, making him the third strongest person in the Cosmic Sea.

The Lord of Ultra's lineage boasts four True God-level combatants, making them unparalleled in the universe. As for the two disciples of the Eternal Lord, it is only natural that they would display True God-level combat power.

Many true gods believe that the reason these six have not broken through to the true god realm is because they want to emulate the Eternal Lord, reach the pinnacle of the Universe Lord realm, and also successfully pass through the cycle of reincarnation.

Moreover, given the performance of these six individuals, it is possible that they could truly succeed in breaking through the cycle of reincarnation, and the three holy lands are probably not the limit for the human race.

Besides the true gods, the number of human universe lords has also increased significantly, exceeding one hundred.

As for the Cosmic Venerables and Immortal Gods, with the entire primordial universe equivalent to the territory of the human race, coupled with the cultivation system of ancient civilizations, their numbers are truly terrifying.

As for other races in the original universe, the human race has no intention of suppressing them because of the Holy Land universe.

This directly resulted in the number of true gods approaching thirty and the number of universe lords exceeding ten thousand within the entire primordial universe, making it arguably the strongest in the three reincarnation eras.

Although the power of the entire primordial universe has expanded to such an extent, it still obediently revolves around the human race, because there are three small universes with diameters of nearly 100 billion light-years there.

Everyone who passes through the three holy sites of the human race feels a deep sense of reverence.

The emergence of an unshakeable hegemonic power instantly brought peace to the entire cosmic sea, and greatly reduced the amount of fighting.

The entire universe knows that humanity's dominant position will exist eternally along with the Holy Land, and will not change even when this cycle ends.
