Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

However, if an Ultraman clone were present, the outcome would be completely different; who knows who might infiltrate whom?

hum!

After the smart chip was integrated into the control panel, the entire palace lit up again, and Delacion's virtual projection appeared: "Master, the artificial intelligence in the palace is just an ordinary one. It seems to have stopped operating the moment the door opened."

Without interference from other artificial intelligence, Delacion naturally and easily took over the operation of the entire palace system and all the information in the palace's intelligent system.

Upon hearing Delacion's words, Lu Yunhe blinked: "So, in other words, I have already obtained the legacy of this World Lord's World!"

Chapter 66 The Lord of Baishan Realm

“Yes, Master!” Delacion’s words were also filled with joy, and he was extremely happy that his master had obtained this opportunity: “The master of this world is called the White Mountain World Master. Before he died, he left all the treasures in the palace, as well as a video.”

"Play the video first!"

Upon hearing Delacion's words, Lu Yunhe became curious about this White Mountain Realm Lord whom he had never met before, wondering why he hadn't even left behind an intelligent quantum computer.

Delacion then opened the video left by the Lord of the White Orchid Realm, and a virtual projection of a man who looked to be in his thirties appeared in the hall. However, although the man looked young, even through the virtual projection, Lu Yunhe could feel a strong aura of old age emanating from him.

"Newcomer, you have been able to enter this palace, so your strength should at least have reached the Domain Lord level. Next, you should be pursuing the World Lord level and the Immortal God level. The treasures I left behind may be of some help to you." A weary voice came from the projection.

"My entire life has been spent in cultivation, and before I knew it, I had reached the end of my time as a realm master. Looking around, there is nothing in the entire universe that I am too attached to. So, to those who inherit my legacy, I have only one expectation and one piece of advice to leave you."

"I hope that you will be able to successfully break through to the realm of world lord in the future and reach the level of immortal god, so as to truly enjoy eternal life."

"A word of warning: Never, ever, ever practice the Ten Laws."

The final admonition seemed to contain the White Mountain Realm Lord's boundless regret, causing Lu Yunhe, who was listening nearby, to feel a chill run down his spine.

"The Ten Laws!"

Lu Yunhe murmured Bai Shan Realm Master's last admonition, seemingly understanding why the other party had fallen into such a predicament.

"Drasion, go online and search for the background of this White Mountain Realm Lord!"

Lu Yunhe glanced at the system and found no information about the White Mountain Realm Lord's life in the palace's intelligent system. Clearly, the Realm Lord had erased all traces of himself. However, while he could delete information from his own intelligent system, he couldn't delete the information recorded in the virtual universe network.

After searching, comparing, and organizing, Delacion finally compiled a brief biography of the Lord of White Mountain from the internet.

He was a genius in his previous life, having comprehended several realms at the cosmic level and successfully broken through to the Domain Lord level. He was quite famous in the middle-level cosmic country at the time, but everything changed when Bai Shan broke through to the Realm Lord level.

It seems that because of his early reputation as a genius and the speed at which he comprehended the laws during his time as a realm master, Bai Shan developed an unwarranted ambition: to comprehend all ten laws at once.

Seeing the admonitions and mockery directed at the White Mountain Realm Lord on the virtual universe network, Lu Yunhe understood what had happened. A Realm Lord-level being trying to comprehend all ten laws? Ridiculous.

In the original novel of Swallowed Star, Hong's first teacher, Luo, the Lord of Time, also wanted to comprehend the laws of time more when he was at the Lord level, but as a result, he didn't have enough time and never broke through to the Immortal level before his death.

Realm Lords have a lifespan of 1000 epochs, and one epoch is 10081 years, which is tens of millions of years. It seems like a long time, but even with such a long time and the unique speed of law comprehension at the Realm Lord level, there are still a large number of Realm Lords who cannot even fully comprehend a lower-level law to break through to the Immortal level, let alone fantasize about fully comprehending the higher-level laws—Time and Space.

Generally, a Realm Lord can break through to the Immortal level by fully comprehending one lower-level law. An Immortal can break through to the Universe Venerable level by fully comprehending one higher-level law, while a Universe Lord only needs to fully comprehend two higher-level laws or one fusion law.

"No wonder he left those two sentences before he died; it makes perfect sense now."

Lu Yunhe shook his head. This White Mountain Realm Lord, like that Time Realm Lord, was so engrossed in comprehending the laws at the Realm Lord level that he couldn't extricate himself. In the end, when he wanted to break through to the Immortal God level, it was already too late.

Millions of years of cultivation had left the Lord of the White Mountain Realm with no attachment whatsoever. Coupled with the constant admonitions and ridicule he had faced in his early years, he eventually found a secluded place and quietly departed from this world.

As for the intelligent life form cultivated by the White Mountain Realm Lord, it's highly likely that the two perished together. According to information Delacion obtained online, the White Mountain Realm Lord's auxiliary quantum computer appears to be the image of a beautiful woman.

Too ashamed to face anyone and unwilling to train disciples, the White Mountain Realm Lord's arrangements after his death were so straightforward. "As long as you can break into the palace, you can take all my treasures," he declared, even halting the operation of the intelligent system and handing everything over to the discoverer.

As for why the Lord of the White Mountain Realm had the audacity to comprehend all ten laws at once, Lu Yunhe understood perfectly well. In fact, the cultivation path of Swallowing the Stars was very clear; when he was browsing the virtual universe forum, he saw some people speculating about the ten laws.

The fusion of the Ten Laws... a divine kingdom devouring the universe...

Just like Earth in its previous life, everyone knows that there is a Great Unifying Force above the Four Fundamental Forces, but the reality is that humanity on Earth has not even fully mastered one of the Four Fundamental Forces, let alone the Great Unifying Force.

The theory is very simple and straightforward; the real challenge lies in putting it into practice.

The Lord of the White Mountain Realm was probably influenced by these theories, which is why many cosmic nations prohibit discussions of these topics.

However, Lu Yunhe really enjoyed reading these theories because he not only had a cheat code, but also had a thorough understanding of the world, so these theories were somewhat experimental.

Combining the ideas of these virtual netizens with his own situation, Lu Yunhe was also gradually planning his future. The theories proposed in some novels from his previous life were quite accurate: ordinary people are responsible for proposing solutions, while the strong are responsible for implementing them. For the strong, the difficulty wasn't whether they could do it, but whether they could even conceive of it.

After reflecting on the life of the Lord of Baishan Realm and examining his own legacy, Lu Yunhe began to look at the legacy he had left behind.

As someone who lived to the limit of a realm lord's lifespan, the treasures left behind by the White Mountain Realm Lord were incredibly abundant; he even left behind his own bank account.

The items include a legacy crystal containing all the secret techniques of the White Mountain Realm Lord, a bank deposit account, an S-grade bloodline potion, a life fruit, a D5-grade energy cannon, a D6-grade railgun, dozens of fifth-tier primal force weapons, and a special divine weapon.

"Although it is slightly inferior to the legacy of Lord Kabu of the Thunder World, it is still sufficient."

Looking at the information about the treasures compiled by Delacion, Lu Yunhe was still delighted with these treasures, even though he had high standards but his strength was still very low.

However, when Lu Yunhe fully accepted the legacy of the White Mountain Realm Lord, he realized that he was wrong; this treasure was even more valuable than he had imagined.

Chapter 67 Primal Divine Weapons

"Secret Technique Inheritance Crystal!"

Lu Yunhe arrived at the palace's special treasure room, where most of the treasures were kept. The most precious item was the inheritance crystal containing all the secret techniques collected by the White Mountain Realm Lord.

When Lu Yunhe merged his consciousness into the inheritance crystal, a massive amount of inheritance information flooded into his mind. The sheer volume of information caused his soul consciousness, which had already reached the cosmic level, to feel a bit swollen and painful.

Subsequently, Lu Yunhe's several clones, along with his human body, began to digest the information in the inheritance crystal, processing and organizing it as they went.

After initially digesting the information, Lu Yunhe couldn't help but sigh. As expected of a realm lord who sought to pursue the Ten Great Laws, the inherited information was remarkably comprehensive. From martial artists to mental cultivators, from apprentice-level techniques to realm lord-level secret methods, and even some ordinary immortal-level secret methods.

From the Meteorite Star disciple selection base, Lu Yunhe obtained basic cultivation information from the apprentice level to the universe level. Now, from the inheritance of the White Mountain Realm Lord, he has also completed the basic cultivation information for the Domain Lord level and the Realm Lord level.

After briefly glancing at the incredibly comprehensive basic cultivation information, Lu Yunhe focused his attention on the Immortal-level secret techniques.

The Soul Secret Technique – Cloud Soul – is not a high-level technique, but what is rare is its comprehensiveness, encompassing defense, attack, and even enslavement functions; its outstanding feature is that it has everything.

The initial step involves condensing a layer of mist around the soul, hiding the life core within it, and then manipulating the mist for defense, attack, and so on.

In addition to the soul secret techniques, there is also the spatial secret technique cultivated by spiritual masters, "Myriad Threads Flow," which is comparable to the martial artist's spatial cultivation secret technique "Spatial Control" and the time cultivation secret technique "Time Control."

The division of the two cultivation secrets is similar to that of "The Flow of Ten Thousand Lines": the first level is "One Illusionary Body", the second level is "Nine Illusionary Bodies", the third level is "One Hundred Illusionary Bodies", and the fourth level is "Ten Thousand Illusionary Bodies".

However, this inheritance only came from a World Lord level cultivator, so it did not include the highest level of spatial secret techniques, 'teleportation,' or the highest level of time secret techniques, 'time freeze.' Nevertheless, it was more than enough for Lu Yunhe to cultivate now.

The value of such secret techniques lies not only in guiding cultivators to create a certain number of illusory bodies, but also in the accompanying offensive and defensive methods. For example, nine illusory bodies are not simply one more than eight illusory bodies, but rather represent a significantly higher level overall.

"Finally, I have enough cultivation techniques!"

As Lu Yunhe sorted through the secret techniques within the inheritance crystal, a look of joy couldn't help but spread across his face. With this inheritance, he no longer needed to worry about cultivation techniques before the Genius Battle.

"The Bloodline Elixir can be used on human bodies, and the Fruit of Life can be used on the Divine Tree's avatars..."

Lu Yunhe sorted through the other treasures in the warehouse, but there were none suitable for the Golden Dragon clone and the Ultraman clone.

Besides this treasure warehouse, the Lord of Baishan Realm also had another secret room inside the palace. Therefore, Lu Yunhe transferred the funds from the Lord of Baishan Realm's bank account to his own account while walking towards the other secret room.

As a World Lord who died of old age, the White Mountain World Lord had a considerable amount of money in his bank account, a full 500 Chaos Yuan Units, while an ordinary World Lord's entire fortune was only 10 Chaos Yuan Units.

After transferring 500 Mixed Yuan Units to his own account, Lu Yunhe's Galaxy Account was successfully upgraded to a 'Three-Star Account', granting him numerous benefits. The most important of these were the ability to participate in the 'Qianwu Great Star Region' primary auction and the qualification to watch the 'Final Battle Livestream' of the Giant Axe Arena for free.

"good!"

Lu Yunhe glanced at the email from the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. He could go to the Elementary Qianwu Auction House to see if there were any weapons suitable for Ultraman's clone.

After dealing with the emails that had been sent, Lu Yunhe arrived at another treasure room built by the Lord of Baishan Realm.

Upon opening the door, a dark sword-shaped weapon engraved with cosmic star patterns was firmly fixed in the center of the secret chamber; there were no other treasures besides it.

"Such a rich aura of primordial laws!"

Lu Yunhe was somewhat surprised, because he could actually sense the aura of the Ten Great Laws from this sword-shaped divine weapon, which was simply unbelievable.

"Dracion, find out what kind of weapon this is!"

"The divine weapon is named Primal!"

Delacion quickly found information about the weapon online. As everyone knows, there is a very famous weapon in the universe called the 'Nine Divine Weapons of the Spirit Master Controller'.

These nine divine weapons are forged by combining the eight lower laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light with their corresponding higher laws of space and time. The ninth weapon is naturally a divine weapon that combines the fundamental laws of time and space.

The psychic masters possess these nine divine weapons, and as another major school of martial arts in the universe, martial artists naturally also have corresponding divine weapons. However, psychic masters use their mental power to control their weapons, so they don't care much about the shape of the weapons.

However, the classification of weapons for martial artists is quite extensive, including swords, spears, and so on. It would be too complicated to simply call them the Nine Divine Weapons of Swordsmen or the Nine Divine Weapons of Knife Masters.

Therefore, no specific name was developed for the divine weapon representing a martial arts school. To avoid conflicts between different weapon schools, they were collectively referred to as martial arts divine weapons.

Whether it's a martial artist's divine weapon or a wielder's divine weapon, although the names are different, their power and realm classifications are almost the same.

However, among the divine weapons of martial artists, there is a special one, namely the 'Primal Divine Weapon'.

The primordial universe is vast, and the number of cultivators is countless, among whom there are always some who could be described as 'madmen'. Since there are divine weapons forged by fusing two fundamental laws, why can't there be one forged by fusing all ten laws?

Under this idea, "Primordial" was born. Forged by an unknown powerful being, it is based on the laws of spacetime and supplemented by the eight major laws, and is a divine weapon containing the ten primordial laws of the original universe.

But... the divine weapon has been forged, but it seems no one can use it.

Weapons at the level of divine weapons are mainly used by world lords and geniuses at the cosmic level, but the former are blocked by the threshold of fully comprehending a lower-level law and a higher-level law.

In the latter case, reaching the threshold of a fundamental law at the stellar level is enough to qualify as a top genius at the cosmic level. Comprehending a higher-level fundamental law would place one in the top ten of a standard generation of human genius competition.

However, the requirement for the Primal Divine Weapon is to comprehend the Ten Fundamental Laws, a condition that is almost impossible for those below the Realm Lord level.

A stellar-level being who has mastered the first level of any other divine weapon can be considered invincible, but according to records, there is no stellar-level being who has mastered the first level of a primordial divine weapon.

Because the entire primordial universe was constructed from the ten fundamental laws, the divine weapon was named "Primordial," embodying the cultivator's ambition to create the universe.

Chapter 68 Primal Divine Weapon 2

"What a unique divine weapon!"

Looking at the introduction of the Primordial Divine Weapon, Lu Yunhe's face showed an interesting expression. So far, he has comprehended six of the Ten Laws: Time, Space, Light, Lightning, Metal, and Wood. Although he has not comprehended the other four, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, he has comprehended their corresponding domains.

After doing this calculation, Lu Yunhe discovered that he had already comprehended more than half of the ten fundamental laws, and his understanding of the laws was by no means inferior.

"Sure, you can try it out!"

Lu Yunhe quickly stepped forward and picked up the divine weapon. Although the requirements for comprehending the Ten Fundamental Laws were very high, it was not impossible for him.
