Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 113 Giving the Maple King a Supreme Treasure
Before heading to the original star, Zhou Lin also made one last trip to the initial universe.

"Lord of Beichen, your teacher is waiting for you inside."

At the entrance, the bald man, Venerable Guiyi, dressed in a fiery red battle robe, stood waiting for Zhou Lin's arrival. When he spoke, he was so loud that no one else could hear him.

The news of Zhou Lin's breakthrough to the level of the Lord of the Universe was kept secret on a large scale, but those Universe Venerables with well-connected information channels already knew about it.

For example, these disciples around the Lord of Chaos City.

Upon entering the Chaos Ruins, Venerable Guiyi tactfully withdrew from the courtyard, leaving only Zhou Lin and the Chaos City Lord to converse.

"When you break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, your race will bestow upon you a supreme treasure."

The Lord of Chaos City said solemnly, "Since you like using swords, the clan will bestow upon you a top-tier treasured battle sword, while I personally will give you a top-tier treasured armor."

This result was reached after discussions among the many cosmic lords of the race.

Some radicals proposed bestowing upon him the ultimate treasure armor, but this was rejected by the vast majority of universe lords, as they did not possess such a treasure.

Top-tier treasure armor and weapons are already the configuration of most universe lords. Those who can possess peak treasures rarely reach the third tier; they are mostly at the fourth or even fifth tier.

Therefore, Emperor Yan can be considered a disgrace to the universe, as the three supreme treasures he possesses are only at the peak of the third-order universe master level.

The armor was a personal gift from the Lord of Chaos City.

"Thank you."

Zhou Lin sincerely thanked the Lord of Chaos City. Although they were not master and disciple in terms of personal relationship, the Lord was still willing to treat him well.

Although the reason for being kind to him was that Zhou Lin himself was outstanding and excellent, it was still a kind of kindness.

No matter how talented you are, there will always be strong people who don't care.

After leaving the Chaos City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Lin strolled leisurely along the streets of Chaos City, occasionally encountering newly arrived geniuses, almost all of whom were at the Universe level.

Not long ago, Virtual Universe Company held a battle of geniuses.

Looking at them, Zhou Lin felt as if he were in another world. Almost all of his fellow geniuses from the same period were still only realm lords, while he had already stood at the highest point of his clan.

Soon, Zhou Lin arrived in front of a pure white tower, which was nine stories high and quite conspicuous in the area.

Zhou Lin pushed open the door with practiced ease; the restrictions were like air to him, and he walked straight to the top floor.

"Long time no see, teacher." Zhou Lin greeted him with a grin as soon as he came up.

Maple Smoke King sat on the futon and turned to look over. She had just finished her lecture and returned to her residence not long ago. She did not expect that Zhou Lin would come to her place.

At the peak of the Kinghood, many reside in Chaos City, cultivating by teaching younger generations. While guiding others, they also verify their own Dao.

Maple Smoke King had already grown accustomed to this kind of life. Her understanding of the laws had long been at the lower limit of the Venerable level; what she lacked was that state of sudden enlightenment.

It's best to live a simple life; there's no need to go out and experience things. Once you break through, a whole new world will open up for you.

"Not even ten thousand epochs yet, not long." Maple Smoke King's voice was cold, which was her consistent style, and she treated everyone this way, not intentionally.

She was extremely satisfied with Zhou Lin, and as this disciple's status rose, even her immediate superior became extremely kind to her.

"It's been so long since we last met, I can't just come to see my teacher empty-handed."

Zhou Lin pulled out treasures from the ring on his hand: "These treasures are carefully selected by me. In addition, I also exchanged a divine general inheritance for you in Hongmeng City. You can accept it at any time, teacher."

Even the inheritance of divine generals is an extremely precious thing for cosmic venerables, but Zhou Lin can obtain it simply by asking.

Several treasures fell to the ground with a thud, Zhou Lin's casual attitude as if he were placing ordinary objects.

At the very front is an ordinary fire-attribute treasure armor. It only requires comprehending the laws of space to teleport and mastering the laws of fire to activate its third form.

The weapon is also a common treasure, and there is one top-tier treasure each of the palace, domain, and soul categories. This is a rather luxurious combination for a cosmic overlord.

Perhaps only the top cosmic overlords wouldn't care.

Zhou Lin has accumulated quite a bit of experience during his adventures on the Primordial Star.

Aside from what he needed for himself, he exchanged most of his treasures for Treasure Points, which he then used to acquire a bunch of treasures suitable for Maple Smoke King.

"How can this be?" King Fengyan was extremely shocked, but his tone remained cold: "I cannot possess such a treasure yet."

Even Maple King's superior did not possess the Supreme Armor.

A single treasure can cause cosmic venerables to fight over it like crazy.

As for those soul, palace, and domain-type treasures, each one was no less valuable than ordinary supreme treasures, so how could Maple Smoke King possibly accept them?

If she could obtain a few powerful treasures, her strength would instantly rival that of a king at the peak, not to mention that Zhou Lin also gave her a divine general's inheritance.

With so many treasures bestowed upon him, even the invincible king could not defeat him.

“Teacher, you don’t need to be so polite with me.” Zhou Lin said with rare sincerity, “These few treasures are nothing of value to me. You are my family, so naturally you should have them.”

That's always been his personality.

Even a normal universe ruler, who favors family members, wouldn't bestow so many treasures upon a mere King-level Immortal.

If the news leaks out, Maple King will definitely be on the radar of the Universe Venerable, which would be a disaster rather than a blessing.

With so many treasures, there's bound to be cosmic sages who would take the risk.

However, Zhou Lin had left some tricks up his sleeve. First, he could use a supreme treasure to remotely project his image, and his projection was enough to suppress even a high-level cosmic being.

Secondly, Maple Smoke King rarely leaves Chaos City. Zhou Lin gave her these treasures because he considered that she would accept the inheritance and become a Universe Venerable in the future, so there would be no problem for her to use the supreme treasures.

"Would your teacher, the Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse, and the City Lord of Chaos agree to this?" King Maple Smoke shook his head in refusal: "If you do this, the Lords of the Universe will definitely be unhappy."

King Maple Smoke was also worried that the higher-ups of the clan would have a problem with Zhou Lin.

“They won’t have any objections,” Zhou Lin replied. “You can rest assured and accept it. This is Chaos City. If the City Lord of Chaos City didn’t agree, do you think I would have come?”

Maple King was taken aback.

"Please accept it, teacher," Zhou Lin said very seriously.

Even if word gets out and some people think he's being overly biased towards his own people, Zhou Lin won't care.

For him, there are not so many rules and right and wrong in this world, only the closeness or distance of relationships. Maple King is a family member he acknowledges, so it is necessary.

Zhou Lin will never forget that when he was weak, he often listened to the teachings of Maple King, and this teacher always answered his questions.

I also can't forget how he used the Maple Leaf King Flower points to exchange for secret techniques.

The Lord of Chaos City was fully aware of all this, but he did not interfere with Zhou Lin's choice.

Strong people are inherently diverse in personality.

Some universe rulers appear selfless on the surface, but in reality they will favor their own people in various ways, while Zhou Lin simply doesn't bother with pretense.

If you want to do it, then do it. Why care what others think?

As for the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, Zhou Lin currently has no treasures that can be of use to him, so he will have to visit him another day.

After leaving Maple King's place, Zhou Lin took the opportunity to donate the Eye of the Starry Sea to the clan's treasury, intending to exchange it for other high-level domain treasures. The Eye of the Starry Sea was a treasure of the Destruction Venerable.

Although the Destruction Venerable was captured by the Chaos City Lord, Zhou Lin immediately used the Starry Sea Eye after appearing, making it easy to associate the two with the same person.

"The Myriad Wood Realm, a high-level treasure, with the wood attribute, requires mastery of the complete spatial laws to use, and is worth 527 treasure points."

High-level artifacts generally cost at least 200 to 300 artifact points, while slightly better ones can easily cost 500 to 900.

The Eye of the Stars is worth 525 Treasure Points.

Zhou Lin exchanged for the Myriad Wood Realm without hesitation.

The top-tier treasure armor bestowed upon him by the Lord of Chaos City is called the Divine Abyss Armor, which is worth 107 treasure points and is of extremely good quality.

The top-tier treasure sword bestowed by the clan is worth 86 treasure points, which is much stronger than the previous Dust Frost Sword, but Zhou Lin still named it after it.

The soul is guarded by treasures bestowed by the illusory and true demon gods.

Its external defenses include the Divine Abyss Armor, while its internal armor is inlaid with the Extinction Mystic Body Armor.

The Destruction Blade should be put away for now.

Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Imperial Capital Star.

The Venerable Beiming stood downstairs at the Void Realm Company, with the King of Qianwu Kingdom beside him. People came and went all around, but no one could see them.

"Don't stand there, let's go upstairs and talk." Zhou Lin had just returned from the Initial Universe when he saw the two men, who were more dedicated than security guards, standing ramrod straight with their two-meter-tall bodies.

"Lord of Beichen, you have returned." The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom bowed deeply, a scene that would likely be extremely shocking to anyone else.

"Greetings, Lord of the North Star."

Venerable Beiming also bowed in respect.

Swish!
The three of them arrived at the top floor of the office at the same time. Zhou Lin waved his hand and pushed two cups of tea in front of them: "From now on, you will be working under me, so you don't need to be so reserved."

The Venerable Beiming accepted the tea with trepidation, while the King of Qianwu Kingdom was better off, as he understood Zhou Lin's temperament better and was more at ease with him.

But no matter how casual he was, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was well aware of Zhou Lin's status and position.

"Thank you for your willingness to help me, Lord Beichen." Venerable Beiming was quite uneasy, as most Universe Venerables did not have a Universe Lord as their backer.

Let alone the ruler of the universe, even becoming a disciple of a cosmic overlord depends on whether the other party is willing.

"It's nothing," Zhou Lin said with a smile. "Normally, I should bestow treasures upon you all under my command, but I have just become the Lord of the Universe, so I will have to wait a while."

Both the Northern Monk and the King of Qianwu were overjoyed.

What's a little time? Zhou Lin's words clearly indicate that he intends to bestow upon them a priceless treasure.

"Thank you, Lord Beichen."

The two shouted in unison again, and stood up to bow.

……

After officially taking in these two underlings, Zhou Lin carried the Qijing Stone towards the Primordial Star, where he could enter directly once the Qishen Temple opened.

Returning to the original planet, Zhou Lin's experience was completely different.

Although the gravitational force had a very small effect in the past, it still had some hindrance effect on him.

Now, Zhou Lin seems to feel no restraint whatsoever.

Just like in the vast universe, they can move freely.

"It looks familiar."

A giant fiery beast, its entire body wreathed in flames, stood a million kilometers away from the vortex passage, its gaze fixed intently on Zhou Lin.

When Zhou Lin killed the Purple Rain King, it was broadcast live on a large scale, and the footage spread to major forces throughout the universe. Very few people hadn't seen it.

The Purple Rain King was resurrected and became a Cosmic Venerable many years ago. He is currently also searching for treasure on the Primordial Star.

"Human genius, King Beichen, he actually dared to set foot on the Primordial Star alone, could he have already become a Venerable?"

The Flame Star Beast flew directly towards Zhou Lin.

"King Beichen".

Zhou Lin also noticed the Fiery Star Beast. He squinted at it for a long time before recognizing it: "You are Venerable Dream Flame, right?"

Judging from their appearance alone, all the star beasts probably look the same to Zhou Lin, so he distinguishes them by their divine bodies, weapons, and armor.

This Venerable Mengyan is quite famous; he is the cosmic overlord of the Flame Star Beast Clan.

"I've long heard of your great name, King Beichen. I didn't expect you to come to the Primordial Star." Venerable Mengyan greeted him with a smile, but Zhou Lin couldn't help but feel awkward about his expression.

The smile of the Fiery Star Beast was uglier than a grimace.

"I just arrived," Zhou Lin replied with a smile. He was extremely famous in the universe, and apart from hostile groups, most people who met him probably wanted to befriend him.

At this moment, Zhou Lin deliberately wore the Divine Abyss Armor on the outside, the azure armor covering his entire body, only his head was exposed, while the Extinction Profound Body Armor was placed inside.

He was still worried that someone might recognize the aura of the Extinction Profound Body Armor.

Wearing the Divine Abyss Armor on the outside easily avoids this problem.

“King Beichen, I suppose I should address you as Venerable Beichen now?” Venerable Mengyan blinked. “But your aura is rather strange; I can’t understand it.”

"Hmm." Zhou Lin was also aware that if he released his immortal aura, probably no one would believe it, so he tried his best to show his Venerable aura.

However, his divine body is too strong. What is the concept of a cosmic venerable with ten thousand times the genetic power? If he were to fully unleash his power, it would probably make even the top cosmic overlords tremble.

The Venerable Tianhua, with two thousand times the genetic power, possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

During his Venerable era, King Ziyu was renowned as the strongest and most powerful cosmic overlord, yet he only possessed approximately five to six thousand times the genetic potential.

“You were able to kill King Ziyu during your Immortal days, so your strength must be terrifying now that you're a Venerable.” Venerable Mengyan shook his head: “I’m not going to stay on the same primordial planet as you; I can’t compete with you.”

Having said that, it headed toward the nearest vortex passage.

“These cosmic behemoths are quite interesting.” Zhou Lin smiled. He had entered Primitive Star No. 03948, while the Temple of the Divine Origin was on Primitive Star No. 10001.

Therefore, he still needs to spend some time traveling, and if he encounters a high-level treasure being born along the way, he doesn't mind fighting for it.

……

In the fourth month of the original star.

As soon as Zhou Lin set foot there, he encountered the aura of a supreme treasure being born. Normally, with his current strength, ordinary supreme treasures would have no appeal whatsoever.

Even an ordinary treasure armor can be destroyed by Zhou Lin's full power.

However, he encountered several Venerables from the Hongmeng camp, including one "acquaintance".
