Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 117 Entering the Temple of the Divine God

No. 10001 Original Star.

A layer of pressure constantly hangs over this place, slowing down even the movements of the universe's overlords, with various fundamental laws swirling around the central Temple of the Divine God.

The Qishen Temple is billions of kilometers long and wide, and five billion kilometers high. Its shape is no different from the palaces Zhou Lin saw in his previous life.

It exudes an ancient aura, and I don't know what material it is made of. Just by getting close, I can feel the vastness of its various origins.

A few days ago, with Emperor Yan obtaining the Qijing Stone, the Qishen Temple finally opened, and 35 pieces are currently known.

There is another piece whose owner is unknown, and it is difficult to find when entering the Temple of the Divine God.

Thirty-six passages slowly opened.

This palace, sealed away for countless years, has finally been opened!
The first to enter was the Zerg Queen.

Apart from these, there were no other strongest beings in the universe. Several universe masters did come, and there were even two top universe overlords.

Swish!
Zhou Lin's figure also appeared on Primitive Star No. 10001.

"The Temple of the Divine God is indeed mysterious." Zhou Lin followed the guidance of the Divine Mirror Stone and headed to a certain corner of it.

Each Mirror Stone has a corresponding passage; without a Mirror Stone, it is impossible to enter, not even for the strongest beings in the universe.

"Go ahead and explore with confidence, the clan will support you." Giant Axe had already told Zhou Lin, "If you can obtain the treasure, I will come to the Primordial Star to meet you."

It's difficult to leave safely after obtaining a supreme treasure. Even if a top cosmic overlord is lucky, there must be a powerful force to back them up.

The Lord of the Universe has the right to keep the supreme treasure in his possession.

“This is it.” Zhou Lin looked at the passage in front of him. He was covered by a thin layer of black mist, which was impossible to see through unless one was a master of the universe who controlled spacetime.

However, even the rulers of the universe cannot explore this primordial star by controlling spacetime, primarily because the origin of the primordial universe would interfere.

Around the temple, even the cosmic overlords found it difficult to move, which shows how terrifying the pressure was. There was no effective means to detect anyone entering.

So who goes in each time is only found out afterward.

Zhou Lin followed the entrance into the cave, feeling somewhat nervous and apprehensive. According to the information given to him by the Lord of Chaos City, he would be flying for a long time after entering the passage.

This can be considered the first challenge of the Temple of the Divine God.

Even after entering the Temple of the Divine God, you will still have to walk through a long corridor and encounter various trials. If you can pass them all, you will reach the area where the ultimate treasure is located.

Each person who enters will face different trials, and may even encounter other people holding different mirror stones. Only the victors can continue.

Generally speaking, the stronger you are, the faster you will pass the test and arrive at the treasure location first. After completing the recognition process, you can leave.

If the challenger is lucky enough to arrive at the treasure location alone, the conflict can be easily ended.

However, based on past experience, regardless of whether the challenger encounters other opponents along the way, they will definitely meet them at the end of the corridor.

At this point, the top cosmic overlord may perish.

In the past, those who were able to obtain the ultimate treasure of the Temple of the Divine Realm were mostly cosmic lords and the strongest beings in the universe; a top cosmic overlord has only appeared once.

Whoosh!
Zhou Lin flew at high speed through the pitch-black passage, where the internal pressure was terrifying enough to crush even the lowest-level Venerables into a pulp.

No wonder that to enter this place, the minimum requirement is to be a top-tier cosmic overlord. An ordinary overlord would probably have his treasures snatched away before he even took a few steps.

After flying for about three hours...

Suddenly, a light appeared ahead, and Zhou Lin knew that he had finally reached the end of his journey and was about to arrive inside the Temple of the Divine God.

Stepping out of the cave, the corridor was hundreds of millions of kilometers wide and the same height, allowing even normal and special life forms to fully utilize their divine bodies. It was much more spacious than the previous passage.

The lighting was dim, and a desolate atmosphere permeated the air, just like being in an underground palace. Occasionally, various strange beast statues could be seen standing on both sides.

"I wonder what kind of trials I'll face," Zhou Lin muttered.

The brown walls on both sides of the corridor are carved with various patterns and precious images.

The exterior of the Temple of the Divine God is only a few billion kilometers wide, but its interior, like other palaces, is intricate and complex, with layers upon layers of space, making it impossible for even the strongest beings in the universe to fully explore its contents.

Some say that its interior is far more vast than that of the original star.

In normal times, the struggle for treasures would take a hundred years, and the longest one even lasted for more than a thousand years before the final owner was determined.

Zhou Lin maintained sub-light speed of flight, and his terrifying physical body reacted very quickly, allowing him to stop at any time even in the event of a sudden crisis.

After flying for a full day.

buzz~

Strange sounds suddenly came from the corridor ahead, shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what it was. Zhou Lin knew he had encountered a test, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

The Primordial Star has not been opened many times. To date, humanity has only entered the Temple of the Divine God once, and that was when the Primordial Ancestor entered in the ancient times.

All the information came from the original ancestor. He was incredibly powerful and could overcome any challenge without anyone being able to compete with him.

"Roar!"

As the roar echoed, the mist began to gradually dissipate.

In the lower left corner of the corridor ahead, a strangely shaped beast statue roared, as if it had suddenly come to life, with a glimmer of light in its cold eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of wind came from afar, and gusts of golden whirlwind swept through the entire corridor, as if someone was activating a domain-type treasure.

"The binding force of this golden whirlwind is even stronger than that of Emperor Yan's domain-type treasure." Zhou Lin also slowed down.

The corridor itself already had some suppression, not to mention the addition of this golden storm.

Limiting his speed is difficult; most cosmic rulers cannot do it.

The name "Extinction of the Profound Body" is not just for show.

This dinosaur-like beast strode forward, bathed in a golden storm, its skin also shrouded in a faint golden hue. Upon closer inspection, it did bear some resemblance to the Golden Beast God.

"No, it is the Golden Beast God." Zhou Lin's pupils suddenly contracted.

But it shouldn't be the Golden Beast God of this reincarnation era.

The Beast Gods are beings that were conceived in the early stages of the primordial universe. They are born with the power of a universe master, but they are also coveted by billions of races.

In each cycle of reincarnation, a Beast God is conceived, and therefore, in each cycle of reincarnation, there is also an Ancestral God Cult and practitioners of the Beast God Path.

The Beast Gods are born with treasures all over their bodies, and hunting them down is a feast for all the major races in the primordial universe.

Through countless cycles of reincarnation, the exact number of naturally born beast gods is probably impossible to ascertain. Although they have long since died, they exist in this place in the form of statues.

“The true Beast Gods are all long dead.” Zhou Lin narrowed his eyes slightly; he was not completely ignorant of the primordial universe.

The primordial universe records all the living beings it has nurtured, and then stores them in the form of film at the origin.

"Roar!" The Golden Beast God roared, its body suddenly growing larger, reaching a height of a million kilometers. It seemed to have truly come to life, swinging its front claws and fiercely striking Zhou Lin.

Chi!
Ripples spread through the space.

"Is this the Golden Void Law?"

There were very few practitioners of the Path of the Beast God in the primordial universe. This was Zhou Lin's first time fighting against the Golden Void Law, and he quickly clenched his left fist to meet the attack.

when!
As their fists and claws clashed, Zhou Lin's expression turned somewhat solemn. This innate beast god was actually at the early stage of the second tier, a level that even top-tier universe overlords would find difficult to overcome.

On paper, his strength is at least in the category of a Cosmic Venerable.

Such a terrifying test! If other top cosmic overlords came, they wouldn't even be able to pass the first test and would have to turn back.

In particular, there is a terrifying golden storm howling, which would be very difficult for even a normal second-tier universe master to pass through, and would take an extremely long time.

"The origin of the primordial universe, you really think you can test me as a third-order universe master?" Zhou Lin muttered to himself. "But this kind of obstacle can't stop me!"

Zhou Lin drew his Dust Frost Sword, and at the same time, green lines appeared on his left palm, extending all the way to his neck, making him look like he was radiating a faint glow.

Countless vines began to spread, extending a long distance from Zhou Lin's feet. Each one was nearly 10,000 kilometers thick and its mass was no less than that of a neutron star.

High-level treasure: Myriad Wood Realm.

At the same time, Zhou Lin wielded the Dust Frost Sword, unleashing the vast power of Taihao, with billions of sword lights floating within a radius of tens of millions of kilometers around him.

Zhou Lin's first secret technique: Ten Thousand Swords Domain.

In the past, when he used his sword, the light was enough to kill even the most immortal kings.

Now that Zhou Lin is using this move, each of these endless sword lights is enough to make even a high-level Venerable tremble with fear, and even a cosmic overlord without a supreme treasure armor cannot withstand it.

The Myriad Swords Domain will no longer collapse into a chaotic void; instead, it has truly become a domain-specific secret technique.

The power of matter collapse has its limits.

Therefore, most cultivators who are skilled in the Chaos Divine Heart develop in the path of destruction and rarely explore the path of Chaos.

The sword light also contained an aura of destruction.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Lin had already gained some fragmented insights into the direction of destruction.

"Crush it for me!"

With a single wave of his arm, Zhou Lin guided countless sword lights, mixed with numerous vines, to surge forward like a mighty torrent.

The ground cracked open, revealing deep fissures millions of miles wide.

Let alone just a statue of the Beast God, even if the real Golden Beast God were to be resurrected, Zhou Lin would dare to fight it!
Rumble!
The golden storm was not a true domain-type treasure after all; it was completely torn apart as soon as it came into contact with the sword energy and vines, and the aftershocks continued to roll forward.

"Roar!!" The Golden Beast God radiated light, unleashing the Golden Void Law to its fullest extent, with a layer of cold light swirling around its claws.

Zhou Lin wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see resentment and anger in the eyes of the Golden Beast God.

Anger towards the billions of races in the primordial universe.

When those groups were weak, the Beast Gods never slaughtered anyone. They were naturally carefree and only liked to wander and roam the universe, exploring unknown places.

But as each group grows stronger, they turn around and slaughter them, and even their corpses are not allowed to rest in peace after death; their blood is used to the extreme.

"Wanting to live freely, but how can a life confined in this cage ever achieve true freedom?" Zhou Lin understood the emotions in the Golden Beast God's eyes, but only offered a cold assessment.

Born in the Source World, one must constantly strive to climb upwards. If one fails to reach the Ultimate Realm, one will be killed by the Great Cataclysm. Even if one does reach it, there will be various risks.

Let alone the life within the cage, even those who become high-level Chaos Origin, world-class Chaos Origin, or even Chaos Origin Lords will still face many troubles.

Zhou Lin wanted to achieve true freedom and control his own destiny, so he had to forge an absolutely invincible path. He dared not relax for a moment because he knew that life would not always be peaceful.

Sword light and vines whistled past, and the Golden Beast God's attack seemed so insignificant in the face of absolute power, shattering completely upon contact.

The strength of a second-stage early-stage universe master is nothing in front of Zhou Lin; he can be easily wiped out in a little time.

Finally, the statue lost its luster and turned back into stone.

The test ended easily, and Zhou Lin continued flying forward.

A few moments later, the stone statue was also moved to a corner by some unknown force.

The damage caused by the battle was quickly restored after Zhou Lin left, as if nothing had happened.

Whoosh!
Another long and tedious flight, with increasing pressure in the corridor, is another kind of test that will greatly affect speed.

This is why it's so difficult for top-tier cosmic overlords to obtain treasures.

Lord Vanno Castle is alright, as he possesses a high-level flying palace treasure that can withstand most of the pressure. Other top overlords can only fly slowly.

A full two weeks later.

buzz~

The strange sound came again, and Zhou Lin knew that this was a sign that a test was about to begin, so he slowed down and looked ahead.

Eight beast god statues stand in the very center of the corridor.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and light—the eight great beast god statues all come back to life.

"?..."

Zhou Lin's eyes revealed a mixture of disbelief and incredulity.

According to the information collected by the tribe, normally there should be three trials, but the original ancestor encountered a total of five trials, and the difficulty of each trial would gradually increase.

For example, the first level is against a top-tier cosmic overlord, and the second level is against a second-tier cosmic overlord.

So theoretically, Zhou Lin should have met a third-order universe master by now, but instead, he is faced with eight beast god statues gathered together.

They began to gradually recover, their eyes gleaming with a hint of brilliance, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Even if they were all at the early stage of the second tier, the difficulty of dealing with them would definitely be considered top-tier of the third tier, or even reach the fourth tier.

The combined power of ten universe lords of the same level is enough to transcend two levels, not to mention the eight beast gods, who unleash eight fusion laws simultaneously.

"What level will I fight next? Will I fight a sixth-tier universe master? Or will I have to fight the strongest being in the universe?" What worries Zhou Lin the most is his path ahead.

Regardless, Zhou Lin could only continue forward, facing whatever obstacles he encountered head-on, as the checkpoints within the Temple of the Divine God were absolutely safe.

If they can't defeat them, they can simply retreat; the beast god statues will then cease their pursuit.

Those who died in the Temple of the Divine God were all killed by other challengers while fighting for treasure.
