Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 220 The Rhinoceros Emperor's Scheme Unraveled 6333
Spaceship, in a vast plaza.

"Haha, my will has broken through to the limit of the strongest in the universe. The speed at which my will controls my consciousness and deduces and thinks has increased rapidly, and the speed at which I can solve the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation is also faster."

"With several thousand years left, breaking 6000 games shouldn't be a problem."

Zhang Yi, sitting cross-legged, was overjoyed.

In the time that followed, he devoted all his energy to the Rhinoceros King Bureau and the creation of secret techniques, while putting aside the tempering of his will for the time being.

After all, for the strongest being in the universe to break through to the level of a Void True God is a huge leap, and it is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.

The secret techniques were created, and the solutions to the Rhinoceros Emperor's Scheme were deciphered. They reflected each other, and the research speed continued to soar.

There were still three thousand years left until the final deadline.

"Unexpectedly, I had just solved 5889 games and failed to break through 6000 games, but I created a top-level sixth-order secret technique."

"The new sixth-order secret technique is based on the law of spacetime fusion, and further fused with the law of metal, so let's call it 'Golden Spacetime'."

With the new secret technique named, Zhang Yi continued to immerse himself in solving the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation.

Years passed.

In the remaining two and a half thousand years.

Zhang Yi stood in front of a stone pillar, his divine power surging forth, instantly and perfectly solving the 6000th endgame puzzle in the pillar's illusory image.

"Having solved 6000 cases, shouldn't that general show up by now?" Zhang Yi thought to himself.

After waiting for a moment, Zhang Yi looked up at the sky and found that there was no general in sight.

It seems the general won't show up until the assessment is over. In that case, let's continue.

This is a beautiful island. On one side of the island, there is a stone table, and several figures are sitting on it.

Above the stone table was a screen showing Zhang Yi successfully solving 6000 games.

"Congratulations, General! In this primordial universe region, which is one of the three thousand dimensions, a peerless genius has appeared who has solved the Rhinoceros Emperor's 6000th puzzle at the level of a Cosmic Venerable."

"Such a figure never appeared during the heyday of our Wu Kingdom."

"General, aren't you going to finish yet?"

"General, if you don't want such a peerless genius, I'll have to take him."

Voices sounded.

The refined-looking man in a white robe smiled faintly, "No rush, there's still time before the assessment ends. Let's see where his limits are."

"As for your desire to take him away, I don't mind if you can persuade this human Zhang Yi."

The general's confident words echoed across the island, creating ripples in the breeze.

"General, you jest. Although we have also left behind a legacy, how can it compare to yours?"

"Yes, the highest level of our inheritance is only the Chaos level, or even the Eternal True God level."

"General, you are a direct descendant of the royal family of Wu, and what you left behind is the legacy of Wu."

“You’ve forgotten one person; the legacy he left behind is comparable to that of the general.”

Upon hearing this, all the lights and shadows in the room turned to the corner of the stone table, where a blue-haired man wearing patterned armor stood.

The general also smiled as he looked at the figure in the green robe.

"Zhen Kan, why don't you speak too? Doesn't your Duan Donghe lineage have any ideas?" Upon hearing this, Zhen Kan frowned slightly, then relaxed and slowly spoke.

"General, of course I want to. My Duan Donghe lineage was once incredibly brilliant. It has been passed down to me for 192 generations. I am now dead. Unfortunately, I cannot rest in peace until I find a successor."

“This human, Zhang Yi, is indeed a promising talent, even more outstanding than all the previous generations of Duan Donghe, and not inferior to the three generations of patriarchs.”

"Unfortunately, he has already begun the inheritance of the Wu Kingdom. My Duan Donghe lineage has always been loyal to the Wu Kingdom, so naturally we will not take action to seize it again."

Upon hearing this, the numerous figures present could no longer utter a word. After all, even the Duan Donghe lineage, which had produced a God King, had voluntarily given up. Naturally, those of them, whose lineages were at most born from the Chaos Realm, had no further interest.

The general nodded in satisfaction. "Zhen Kan is indeed my right-hand man. He has a great vision. I believe that the Duan Donghe lineage will also find the most suitable successor."

Zhen Kan Duan Donghe's face twitched, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

He had followed the general for many years and naturally understood the general's character very well.

Back then, after the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, the general, as a direct descendant of the Wu royal family, was naturally hunted down by the culprits behind the destruction of Wu, the Savage Devourer.

Left with no other choice, the general led his powerful subordinates and countless warships deep into the cosmic sea, arriving at the legendary primordial cosmic region, attempting to enslave the world beasts and return to seek revenge.

Unfortunately, before they even got close to the primordial universe region, this group of powerful individuals were defeated by the primordial universe origin, which was permitted by the supreme rules, and their lives and souls were extinguished.

Before their deaths, they each left behind a legacy, which could be considered their last thought.

After countless reincarnations, the general has finally encountered a super genius who far exceeds his expectations. How could the general give up?
It's better to give up on trying.

Furthermore, based on his understanding, the Wu Kingdom may have produced more than one God-King. Once such a test of inheritance begins, how could there be no backup plan?
The figures of light and shadow on the island continued their pleasant conversation.

These eternal true gods who once followed the general have essentially perished; they are now merely virtual consciousnesses.

Over the long years, they rarely gathered together to talk, because it was too tragic!

At that moment, the general was clearly in a good mood, and the group chatted warmly.

He reminisced about the former power of the Wu Kingdom, angrily denounced the invasion of the Shi Kingdom, and recalled his relatives and friends.
This conversation lasted for thousands of years.

"It's time. I should go and meet this super genius, Zhang Yi," the general said with a smile, then stood up and disappeared from the stone table.

"You guys can continue chatting."

After the general left.

The other light and shadow looked at the scene on the screen, where Zhang Yi was standing in front of the 6333rd stone pillar, having finished outlining the shadow of the stone pillar.

"Three eras, the Supreme Being of the Universe, solving 6333 problems, no wonder the General is in such a hurry."

"Such an extraordinary figure, as long as he doesn't perish, will at least be at the Chaos Realm. With a bit of luck, he might even become a God-King."

"Unexpectedly, after countless cycles of reincarnation, the General has finally arrived."

Amidst the surrounding chatter, Zhen Kan Duan Donghe remained seated in the corner, staring intently at the screen, his eyes filled with longing.

He longed for a successor to his Duan Donghe lineage. He would be incredibly satisfied if, even if the successor could solve more than 6000 puzzles, he could only solve 4000.

Unfortunately, he has never met such a successor.

Looking around at his former colleagues, the eternal true gods, he pondered silently.

"It seems I need to change my approach. I can't just sit here and wait to die. The legacy of the Broken East River from our ancestors must not be lost in my hands!"

"Let's place the inheritance in the boat of the tomb and go find a suitable successor."
