Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 142 Entangled in Karma, Tempering the Dao Heart
Upon hearing Talishu's words, Venerable Fallen Ash immediately stood up.

"Spreading faith and building temples?!" Venerable Luo Jin wasn't stupid; he knew very well what those words meant. There were many people in the universe who did just that.

The most classic example is the Lord of the Ooku.

Many immortals are also revered as gods within their own divine realms. They also spread their faith, but they do not have the method of cultivating using the power of faith.

When Zhou Lin first came to rule over hundreds of cosmic kingdoms, he demanded that all kingdoms widely publicize his deeds, but it didn't go to this extent.

"This Lord of the North Star has truly attained immortality within our human race." Recalling the previous incident on the Primal Star, Venerable Luo Jin could easily guess why Zhou Lin would do such a thing.

He is now qualified to do this.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, this Lord of the North Star spoke to him respectfully; at that time, he was just a minor Domain Lord.

Even though rumors later spread that Zhou Lin, as a Domain Lord, could defeat a World Lord genius, Venerable Luo Jin didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until Zhou Lin emerged from his cocoon and his identity as the Northern Star King was exposed that Venerable Luo Jin began to take this junior seriously, but he still didn't try to curry favor with him.

Until now...

"Talisch, this matter must be done, and it must be done on a grand scale."

Venerable Luo Jin slowly stepped forward: "You are responsible for controlling the details, but I will take charge of this matter. That way, the Lord of Beichen will remember me."

When the Zhou Lin Universe Kingdom was assigned to him before, he didn't get up immediately. Now he has finally realized his mistake and is preparing to cultivate and invest in the Great Dao of Origin.

The core element of investing in the fundamental path is to start early. Since Venerable Luo Jin started cultivating later than others, he had to find a different path.

Two hundred cosmic kingdoms all began constructing temples in a grand and imposing manner.

Spreading faith is extremely simple; most life-bearing planets in the universe are primitive, and only a few have evolved into technological civilizations.

Even in a place like the Blood Continent, with so many planetary and stellar-sized planets, people still live like primitive tribes.

Spreading the faith went very smoothly.

Zhou Lin sat cross-legged atop Star Soul Divine Mountain, receiving the weight of endless karma. This was the first time he had spread his faith on such a large scale, far more exaggerated than any other universe, material realm, or divine realm, or even a portion of the abyss.

What does it mean to have two hundred intergalactic kingdoms?!

Although the population density of the primordial universe was far less than that of the Tianyu universe, each universe nation was hundreds of millions of light-years in diameter!

There are trillions, even tens of trillions, of life-bearing planets!
Not to mention that within this vast cosmic kingdom, there are also a large number of humans in cosmic secret realms and countless immortal humans in divine kingdoms, the total number of which is impossible to count.

The increase in reputation may not be immediately apparent, but over time it will definitely lead to a qualitative change, because someone worshipping you and developing faith in you are not the same thing.

The rate of increase is still very slow; faith needs time to take hold.

"The Great Lord of the North Star".

"Lord of the North Star, please bless me."

Zhou Lin diverted a portion of his divine sense to process these causes and effects. Day and night, people prayed, sang, praised, and even killed.

After you have completely absorbed all the causes and effects, this is the inevitable path.

He founded the Virtual Realm Company, which employs countless assassins to commit murder. He accumulates endless karma, which provides him with some benefit in the Path of Karma, the Path of Destruction, and even the Path of Slaughter.

Bloodshed, hatred, and countless wails echoed in my ears.

This is an extreme test of willpower and mental state. Zhou Lin can only spare a portion of his divine sense to digest it, otherwise it would greatly interfere with his cultivation process.

Previously, Zhou Lin had blocked most of the causal relationships, but now he must digest all of them. As for the causal relationships generated by all his believers, he also needs to spend some effort dealing with them; that's what the temple is for.

That's why Zhou Lin was so eager to cultivate a second clone.

Zhou Lin's cultivation energy was greatly consumed, and even when he devoted some of his divine sense to dealing with these trivial matters, he was still quite overwhelmed.

Bloodblade God Emperor experiences these things every day and night, every minute and every second.

Zhou Lin is currently only a fourth-level Heavenly God, and the strength of his divine heart is far inferior to that of the Blood Blade God Emperor. Therefore, his cultivation process must be slowed down.

Not to mention his cultivation progress, Zhou Lin is currently unable to travel to the Cosmic Sea unless he temporarily blocks out this part of the cause and effect and refuses to accept it.

But Zhou Lin couldn't do that. If he spread the power of faith on a large scale, he would have to accept all causes and effects at all times, and he wouldn't be able to choose between the good and the bad.

My soul is being scorched.

This has nothing to do with willpower. Zhou Lin's willpower is strong enough to withstand these things easily. It's just that there are too many of them, which will affect his mental will.

Free from worry and confusion, with a heart as clear as crystal, this is the first level of spiritual will.

Too many distractions can cause people to waver.

The Lord of Moxue Kingdom is at the first level of spiritual will, but he will still die from the collapse of his divine heart. This is because he has lived for too long, without any worries or confusion, and he will not be able to bear it.

The Dao is the foundation. When the Dao is strong, the divine heart and will of the deity will also be strong, thus achieving eternity and transcending the rules.

The laws of the universe's sovereign are completely unusable in the Tianyu universe, while the path of the universe's strongest can be applied in any source world after adapting to its rules.

"My path of self-cultivation is truly long and arduous."

Zhou Lin remained seated in this position for nearly ten thousand years, enduring endless karma and wailing in his ears day and night, without moving an inch.

He wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate his mind and reach the level of "a heart as sharp as a knife".

Unfortunately, this level is not easy to reach. Zhou Lin endured ten thousand years of torture and eventually became accustomed to the crying and wailing.

After ten thousand years, the system once again revealed rewards.

There is something of great significance to Zhou Lin, namely, cultivation in dreams, but he has no plans to use it yet because it would take a very long time.

It can take 500 million years or even 1 billion years.

He has only lived a short time, and he is only a fourth-level Heavenly God. He should at least reach the True God Opening Realm before he can proceed.

Besides these, there were all sorts of true divine artifacts. Zhou Lin exchanged the ones he didn't need for supreme treasures, the most valuable of which was equivalent to a top-tier palace-type supreme treasure.

Unfortunately, the system has never revealed a true artifact containing the Dao of Domination.

The supreme Dao artifact is no less powerful than the most powerful treasure weapon, but its quality is slightly inferior, unless it is specially crafted.

In addition, he also obtained a true divine artifact, the Longbow, which embodies the principles of cause and effect and the ultimate penetration.

A longbow without arrows needs to be activated by the power of cause and effect.

"After countless years of cultivation, I still haven't fully grasped the rules of heaven and earth. I'm still lacking something. I should go and explore the cosmic sea."

Zhou Lin was truly invincible in the primordial universe; even the strongest beings in the universe couldn't do anything to him. So, venturing outwards was the only way out.
