Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf

Since Xu Yang transmigrated to this world, the primordial universe has experienced far more devastating upheavals in a short period than in ancient times.

One by one, super powers lost their independent status and became dependent on the demon race. Only the Ancestral God Sect was able to maintain its independence for the time being, but they could only be subservient and dare not speak loudly in front of the demon race, a behemoth that unified the entire universe.

After yielding, the human and machine races were allowed to return to the primordial universe to develop. However, the core area of ​​the primordial universe had already been divided up, so they could only choose to live and multiply in more remote territories. Moreover, the Hongmeng and the Machine Race Alliance had completely disintegrated, and countless alien races that had once been proud to bear their names immediately cut ties with them upon returning to the primordial universe.

This was naturally unfriendly to them, but for the demon race, after the growing pains, their primordial universe ushered in an unprecedented era, far surpassing any previous historical period—an era of genius explosion!

In the past, it was common for various ethnic groups to fight each other and for opposing forces to assassinate each other's promising young talents.

A brilliant genius might be assassinated by a rival race at the level of a Realm Lord or even a Domain Lord, dying in the cradle. Such a loss is a painful blow to any race.

Now, the demon race is unified, and the laws are strict.

Although competition and even infighting still exist among the lower, middle and upper levels, large-scale, organized assassinations of geniuses from opposing forces have been completely eliminated!
Anyone who dares to violate the demon race's prohibition and challenge the order established by Xu Yang will face the calamity of annihilation!
As long as geniuses don't court death by venturing into those mysterious and dangerous places in the universe, or are foolish enough to challenge powerful beings far beyond their own limits, they are basically safe until they grow to a sufficient level!
Safety is the cornerstone of growth.

Of course, the Heavenly Demon Virtual Universe is the core engine behind the explosion of geniuses!
With countless resources poured in, the virtual universe covers all locations! Whether you are born into a prominent royal family in the core star field of the demon race, an ordinary descendant of the demon race on a remote, resource-poor planet, or even an insignificant member of a conquered race.

However, as long as your consciousness is connected to the Heavenly Demon Virtual Universe, every step of your progress in comprehending the laws, every detail of a virtual battle, your performance in a simulated exploration of a secret realm, and even the display of your special talents will be captured, analyzed, and evaluated by the virtual universe system!
Although it increased the computational load of the virtual universe core by several orders of magnitude, it was still fully supported by a massive amount of auxiliary intelligence!
True jade is hard to be buried by dust.

The system will automatically quantify and rank the potential of living beings and push it to the corresponding level of the leaderboard.

Galaxy Ranking, Star Region Ranking, Star Sector Ranking, and even the All-Earth Ranking that shook the entire demon race!
Making the list is just the beginning!
According to the rankings, virtual universe points, exclusive top-level cultivation space time, access to exchange for rare secret techniques, and even the opportunity to directly gain the attention and guidance of high-level demon race experts will be continuously offered!

Top-tier resources that used to require family background, luck, and relentless competition to obtain can now be "allocated on demand" as long as you have enough talent, strong potential, and shine brightly in the virtual universe!
Xu Yang's guiding principle was: "Throw money! Throw resources! Don't worry about costs!"

The resources of the entire demon realm are dedicated to nurturing geniuses.

Is your understanding of the laws stuck?
Go to the "Hall of Ten Thousand Laws" for intelligent system guidance, explanations with the imprint of a powerful being's will, and even a simulated environment that best suits your understanding of the laws!

Are your combat skills rusty?
Go to the "Combat Arena" and set an invincible opponent of the same level, or directly challenge the young combat template of a famous historical figure simulated by the system!

Are you stuck at a bottleneck and can't figure it out?
The "Quest Platform" hosts venerable figures and cosmic masters who give public lectures from time to time. Those with sufficient authority can even apply for targeted guidance on a small scale!
Here, learning efficiency is maximized.

Those "potential geniuses" who might have died young due to lack of resources, lack of renowned teachers, or even assassination during the turbulent past have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in this era.

They no longer need to spend long years groping, hitting walls, and fighting for those pitiful opportunities.

The virtual universe has paved a "highway" for them based on talent and hard work!
For example, in a primitive star region that had just connected with the universe and was originally considered a "wild wasteland," a young rock spirit born into the local race, due to his incredible speed of comprehension in the virtual universe's "Earth Origin Law Space," immediately surged into the top ten of the star region's "Hidden Dragon Ranking" upon his first entry! He instantly gained a large number of points and resources, and caught the attention of the cosmic venerable one guarding this star region, who directly accepted him as a disciple, completely changing the fate of the entire planet.

The entire primordial universe seemed to have entered an era of "genius assembly line".

A safe environment guarantees survival, while the Tianyao Virtual Universe provides an unparalleled platform for discovery and cultivation resources.

With no more large-scale hostile assassinations, all geniuses, unless they bring it upon themselves, will have their talents under the spotlight under the virtual universe, and there is absolutely no possibility of them being buried!

With absolute dominance, the demon race forcibly integrated the resources of the entire universe and efficiently transformed them into nourishment for cultivating powerful beings.

This is the foundation Xu Yang has laid for the demon race for all eternity—using the entire universe as a nursery, employing the fastest and fairest selection process, irrigating with the highest-level resources, and selecting future generations who can break through reincarnation and reach the Origin Continent.

In just one hundred epochs, the primordial universe has seen the emergence of over five million Venerables and twenty Universe Lords!
It should be noted that before the demon race unified the primordial universe, people generally referred to the primordial universe as containing countless races... because the human race's virtual universe was not open to those outside their own faction, and they wouldn't bother to count them.

To be considered a clan, one must have at least one Venerable One... But to be honest, during periods of power struggles, a clan led by a mere Venerable One could be wiped out at any time.

Now, after the demon race unified the world, a thorough census revealed that the number of races with Venerable-level combat power in the entire primordial universe has reached 6.8 billion, while the total number of Venerables is just over 10 billion!

The number of lords of the universe is 1321!
Of course, this is accumulated over a long period of time, measured in trillions of epochs... But under the policies set by Xu Yang, more than five million Venerables and twenty Universe Lords were born in one hundred epochs. This efficiency... is unprecedented!

Of course, as the policymakers, the original eighteen royal families and thousands of royal families of the demon race must have eaten the most.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're overflowing with wealth.

The Sirius race has multiplied greatly and now occupies nearly ten of the most prosperous star sectors. They also have enclaves throughout the universe, where large numbers of Sirius people live.

Do not underestimate the reproductive capacity of living beings, especially demons and humans.

The Sirius Clan's territory, from the very beginning, was the core area of ​​the Sirius Clan, and now it is the core of the entire primordial universe! Under Xu Yang's guidance, the Sirius Clan's territory is not exclusive; regardless of whether one is a member of the Sirius Clan or not, as long as one has the ability and skills, one can settle here. It is precisely because of this that what was once just a continent tens of light-years across with a dozen or so smaller landmasses... has now increased more than tenfold.

Even so, the number of residence slots is still in short supply!

After all, there is more land, and even more life in the universe!

Countless powerful beings, whether to curry favor with Xu Yang or for some other reason, purchased residences on the land of the Sirius Clan. As a result, the creatures living on the land of the Sirius Clan could often see the Lord of the Universe flying by, or even the strongest being in the universe, Rainbow Light... It was all too common for powerful beings of the level of the Universe Venerable.

True cosmic masters are everywhere, and immortal gods are as common as dogs.

Blue Flame Palace is a high-status palace on the vast continent of the Sirius Clan, covering an area of ​​over a billion miles, comparable to a large city. Such land was something many later alien universe lords might not have been able to purchase, yet it was occupied by a mere realm lord. The palace complex stretched endlessly, with pavilions, towers, floating islands, and small worlds of laws scattered throughout, its luxury far exceeding that of ordinary universe lords' palaces.

Outside the palace, invisible laws and restrictions flowed, proclaiming the extraordinary status and position of the owner of this place.

Deep within the palace, inside the main hall.

A young man with a wolf's head, dressed in a simple silver-gray battle robe, sat cross-legged, cultivating with his eyes closed.

Judging by the standards of the demon race, he was a handsome man—with a cold and stern face, and a calmness and sharpness between his brows that were not commensurate with his age. His aura was restrained yet subtly connected to the laws of the entire Blue Flame Palace.

He is none other than Xu Yang's personally trained disciple—Cang Ya!
As Xu Yang's only direct disciple, Cangya's former bodyguards were an elite guard led by ten immortal kings, a truly grand display of power.

However, as Xu Yang's power shook the universe and he established the supreme rule of the demon race, especially after the news of his status as a 'quasi-transcendent powerhouse' quietly spread among the top powerhouses, Cang Ya's status underwent a dramatic change.

Ten immortal kings? That's all in the past.

Today, outside the Blue Flame Palace, those in charge of commanding the entire palace's guard forces and managing daily affairs are two beings whose auras are as deep as the sea, whose every move can destroy half a star field—the Cosmic Overlords!
One is the Sky Rift Overlord, whose true form is a rare Void Beast. He is proficient in the art of spatial cutting and has an arrogant nature. At this moment, however, he is like the most loyal old steward, meticulously handling all matters of the Blue Flame Palace.

Another being, named Lava Emperor, came from an ancient volcanic race. His body was covered in dark golden lava patterns. He had a fiery temper, but at this moment he had concealed all his sharpness and transformed into the most dutiful guard commander, standing straight behind Cangya.

Two overlord-level beings willingly condescended to serve under a realm lord!
This would have seemed like a fantasy before, a loss of dignity for a cosmic overlord!
But now, this is an opportunity that these two overlords have fought hard for.

At first, Cangya did have some resistance to this. He knew that everything he had came from his master, and that what attracted these powerful people to serve him was not himself, but his identity.

This inflated his vanity, but also served as a stark reminder not to become complacent.

But in the end, too many powerful individuals came to his door, which became extremely annoying. Even though it had been clearly stated, some powerful individuals still came to offer their services indirectly.

Left with no other choice, Cangya asked his senior uncle Jinlang to select two of the most reliable and strongest individuals to serve as his protectors.

Upon learning of their selection, the Sky-Splitter and the Lava Emperor felt no humiliation, only boundless joy. As powerful beings who had traversed the Cosmic Sea, they were aware of the Cosmic Era and the Holy Land Universe, and also knew of the rumors that the Sirius Ruler, who circulated among the higher levels, would surely transcend in the future.

Unlike the Lords of the Universe, there are only a little over a thousand Lords of the Universe in the entire Primordial Universe, so the chances of 'getting on board' in the future are still quite high. These overlords, looking at the entire Primordial Universe, number at least tens of millions, if not a hundred million!

Why should the Lord of Sirius be allowed to take him along when he transcends?
I'm not sure!
Especially those like the Sky Rift Overlord and the Lava Emperor, who entered after the unification of the original universe, would be at the very back of the queue if it were a lottery system.

And Cangya—

This only disciple of the Sirius Overlord became an extremely precious "shortcut" in their eyes!
Serving as a subordinate to a realm lord certainly sounds shameful, damaging the prestige of a cosmic overlord. But this "shame" is temporary; it's an investment!

However, as long as the future Lord of the Heavenly Wolf transcends, Cangya, as the only direct disciple, will definitely be taken along. And as long as they win Cangya's favor, it will only take a word for them to go in with him.

Compared to eternal life and the chance to transcend reincarnation, what is a mere momentary "loss of face"?
Cangya understood this principle. He was afraid that continuing to recruit would be too high-profile. Recruiting two universe overlords could also keep out those other people with ulterior motives.

He had no doubt that if he loosened his grip even slightly and indicated that he needed more manpower, not to mention dozens, even hundreds of cosmic overlords and cosmic venerables would flock to him and vie to squeeze into the Blue Flame Palace!

"Palace Master, the Lady has arrived with His Highness." The cold voice of the Sky Rift Overlord rang in Cang Ya's ears, waking him from his cultivation.

Cangya's eyebrows twitched, and then he opened his eyes and saw a female wolf, dressed in magnificent white robes, leading a bouncy wolf cub into the gate.

Cangya's brows relaxed, and he smiled: "Rong'er, Xiaoxiao."

"Husband."

"Father--"

The female wolf demon dressed in magnificent robes was none other than Bai Rong, the girl who had ventured into the Heavenly Wolf Trial Tower with Cangya. She was a member of the Heavenly Flower Lord's clan, but now she had broken through to the level of an immortal god.

The bouncy little wolf is named Cang Xiao. He is the eldest son born to her and Cang Ya when she was still the Realm Lord.

"Come here, let your father give you a hug." Cangya opened his arms and caught Cang Xiao, who jumped up.

"Father, Father, I've already grasped the domain! Mother even praised me as a genius!" Cang Xiao wagged his tail and started to whine to Cang Ya.

"Hahaha, your mother is right, Xiao Xiao is a genius, a treasure even more talented than his father!" Cangya laughed heartily, and even the worries in his heart dissipated a lot.

Bai Rong, standing to the side, watched this scene of fatherly love and filial piety, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

a long time.

After they had finished playing, Bai Rong had a maid lead Cang Xiao out of the main hall. Then, she looked at Cang Ya with concern and asked, "Has the Lord still not allowed you to break through to Immortality?" (End of Chapter)
