Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 167 Cursed Killing Methods Exposed
Billions of years have passed since the beginning of the universe, and countless generations of mortals have changed. The human world has undergone tremendous changes, but the temple remains eternal, still helping Zhou Lin harvest faith.

My divine self is like a program; once it's set up, it will never have any problems and can at least last for one cosmic era.

Zhou Lin obtained a detailed intelligence report from the virtual universe. The report was so extensive that it took his soul almost half a minute to process it, but overall there was nothing of great importance to him.

"Nine Swords Venerable? He's already a Venerable."

"I've been fighting against Gu Sha Luo for so many years, I'm afraid Luo Feng has already been born by now, right?" Zhou Lin muttered, then teleported back to Star Soul Divine Mountain through the Divine Kingdom.

Maple King became a Universe Venerable, and Zhenyan also became a Universe Venerable.

His disciple was stuck at the King-level Invincible stage for hundreds of millions of years in the original story because he lacked a Beast God Inheritance Token, which the clan would not easily grant.

However, with Zhou Lin's presence, the True King of Yan obtained the inheritance order with just a slight application.

The Lord of the Celestial Eclipse Palace remains a top-tier cosmic overlord.

The Void Realm Company is thriving, and Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City have once again allocated a portion of their universe kingdoms to Zhou Lin. Now, they are truly the three leaders of humanity.

"Beichen, you're back?"

As soon as Zhou Lin entered the virtual universe, Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord found out and immediately sent emails to inquire about the situation.

"I'm back. I'm at Star Soul Divine Mountain now." Zhou Lin quickly replied, "Let's have a quick meeting in the virtual universe. I have some ideas to share."

……

After saying that, Zhou Lin casually killed all the high-ranking Venerables and below from the three races. After opening the Path of Cause and Effect, his ability to kill from a distance was comparable to that of a True God Sovereign.

Star Soul Divine Mountain.

Over hundreds of billions of years, this place has long since become a sacred site for humankind, inhabited by numerous cosmic venerables and geniuses.

In particular, the geniuses cultivated by the Virtual Realm Company are often stronger than others of the same level because they can comprehend the rule system of another universe.

Understanding more systems doesn't mean you have to practice asceticism, but rather that you use them to hone your skills and master more techniques.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom basically stayed on the mountaintop. He was in charge of handling all the big and small matters of the Void Realm Company, and had long since put the affairs of his own country out of his mind, leaving them to the immortals below.

Swish!
Zhou Lin suddenly appeared.

The stars in the sky trembled. His current divine body was simply too powerful; even the aura he exuded could reach the upper limit of the power of the primordial universe.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had extensive authority over the array formations. He immediately sensed Zhou Lin, flew out of the hall, and respectfully approached him, bowing deeply in greeting.

"Welcome, Lord of Beichen!" The voice of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord was loud and clear, and could be heard throughout the entire Star Soul Divine Mountain. Immediately, a large number of Universe Venerables came out.

"Welcome, Lord of the North Star!"

The immortal kings below knelt in the void, shouting in unison, but they did not have the authority to ascend the mountain to pay homage.

Zhou Lin waved his hand, signaling everyone to get up quickly: "Qianwu, Jiufeng, and Zhenyan, stay here. The rest of you, go do whatever you need to do."

"Yes!"

At present, the headquarters of the Void Realm Company is home to more than 1,800 Universe Venerables, many of whom were cultivated by Star Soul Divine Mountain.

Understanding different rules and systems can help those stuck in a bottleneck to break through, especially those from the primordial universe.

However, no second ruler of the universe has been born. It is too difficult to come up with a ruler of the universe. That is not something that can be created by comprehending different rules.

Zhou Lin walked to his throne and said to Venerable Jiufeng, "I will help you resolve the matter of Ezhou soon, so you don't need to stay in seclusion on Star Soul Mountain any longer."

After he became the master of the universe, he could beat up E Zhou even without the black gourd, and with the black gourd, he could threaten the opponent's life.

"Solve it?" Venerable Jiufeng was overjoyed. Although Star Soul Divine Mountain was a world space of its own, it was impossible to get effective training here.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom pondered in his heart, thinking that since the Lord of Beichen had been missing for so long, his strength must have increased by leaps and bounds, and he even dared to say that he would solve the problem of Ezhou.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his investment philosophy was very effective.

"Zhenyan, I've detected a few causal threads. You've taken on quite a few disciples, haven't you?" Zhou Lin said to the burly ape-man below, "Have you taken on any disciples recently?"

Zhen Yan's appearance has changed a lot, but his fearless aura remains the same.

Venerable Jiufeng chuckled and interjected, "Speaking of which, his acceptance of this disciple caused quite a stir. Luo Feng's ranking in this year's Genius Battle wasn't high, so it was quite unexpected for many people that he was accepted as a disciple by the Universe Venerable."

"Luo Feng??" Although Zhou Lin had a premonition, he was still stunned when he heard Venerable Jiu Feng say it himself.

He has changed many aspects of the universe, but Luo Feng still emerged from Earth and participated in the Genius Battle hosted by the Virtual Realm Company.

Luo Feng, who joined the Void Realm Company, naturally also entered Star Soul Divine Mountain to receive training.

The current Genius Battle is held in rotation by three companies: Virtual Realm Company, Virtual Universe Company, and Giant Axe Arena. In any case, no matter which session it is, it will take place in Chaos City.

After leaving Chaos City, they entered their respective secret realms.

“Luo Feng and I get along well,” Zhen Yan said. “When I take on disciples, talent is only one aspect; whether our personalities are compatible is the key.”

He didn't know why, but he felt an extraordinary sense of kinship when he saw Luo Feng, and immediately decided to take him as a disciple, which Luo Feng naturally couldn't have been more eager to accept.

"As for taking on disciples, Zhenyan, I'll do whatever you like." Zhou Lin didn't care much. He had his own path to walk and wouldn't deliberately invest in cultivating the Great Dao of Origin.

Similarly, Zhou Lin will not interfere with Luo Feng's path, allowing him to develop naturally, as the other party is destined to become the Lord of Hunyuan.

It wasn't noticeable in the primordial universe, but it was different on the Origin Continent. Luo Feng's cultivation had no bottlenecks, and his breakthroughs came naturally.

In the future, the two will most likely still be companions, and a difference of hundreds of billions or even trillions of years on their cultivation path is nothing.

"Even if you break through to the level of a Universe Venerable, your teacher will still bestow upon you a treasure."

Zhou Lin had accumulated quite a few treasures, so he immediately took out a high-grade treasure armor and a high-grade treasure staff and handed them to Zhen Yan.

During the era of the Universe Venerable, having a supreme treasure to use was considered quite luxurious. Zhen Yan is now only at the level of a high-level Venerable, yet Zhou Lin bestowed upon him two high-level supreme treasures.

"Thank you, teacher." Zhen Yan immediately bowed in gratitude. He had been venturing into the secret realms of the universe, and even those cosmic venerables could not do anything to him.

It's all because they have a teacher who bestows upon them invaluable gifts.

“Qianwu, you’ve controlled the Void Realm Company for so many years, you’ve done your part. Take this treasure.” Zhou Lin tossed out a high-grade treasure, the Palace.

It was a treasure he had refined in Liuzhong Mountain, but it was now of little use. Even the treasures of the peak palace hadn't been used much by Zhou Lin.

With his physical body being too strong, and the armor reducing damage, as well as his ability to travel through the void, he no longer needed to hide in the palace treasures.

"Thank you, Lord of Beichen!" The King of Qianwu Kingdom trembled with excitement. He never dreamed that Zhou Lin would give Zhenyan two high-grade treasure armor weapons, while giving himself a palace-type treasure.

In the virtual universe, Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos City, and Zhou Lin had already gathered in front of the temple.

"To put it simply, I plan to kill one of the strongest beings from the three races in the universe, and then force them to hand over some territory," Zhou Lin said casually.

…………

Both the giant axe and the Chaos City Lord were stunned.

Kill the strongest being in the universe?
The Zerg Queen possesses the supreme treasure palace, the Dream Demon Ancestor possesses the supreme treasure armor, and the Tremor Demon Ancestor's supreme treasure can also protect him.

The mechanical god also possesses an extremely powerful treasure.

The original progenitor never killed any of them. You should know that the strongest beings in the universe would basically only die in desperate situations in the cosmic ocean.

"You want to kill the strongest being in the universe?" Giant Axe wondered if he had misheard. "Do you even know what the strongest being in the universe is?"

Zhou Lin thought to himself, "Isn't that just a True God? I've even fought against someone at the initial stage of the True God Realm who is comparable to a Void True God. What is a mere eighth-order True God?"

If it weren't for the abundance of treasures in the cosmic sea, and the fact that each of these true gods was protected by supreme treasures, Zhou Lin killing them would be no different from killing chickens.

Even with its supreme and precious armor, the damage reduction is still terrifying.

Even the strongest attack becomes laughable when weakened to one ten-thousandth of its original strength.

"Giant Axe, when have I ever done anything without being sure?" Zhou Lin retorted. "I fought against the Star Lord of the Divine Eye Clan billions of years ago."

The Divine Eye Clan now enjoys excellent personal relations with humans, and they will do their best to help each other if they encounter them in the cosmic sea.

With the help of the map provided by the Divine Eye Clan, Giant Axe also found two supreme treasures in the three forbidden lands, and humans are now vaguely the overlords of the peak races.

Just as they were discussing killing the strongest being in the universe.

In the primordial universe, in a desolate starry sky, the virtual universe was dispelled by the power of words, and four supreme figures appeared one after another.

The Demon Ancestor Zhen, the Demon Ancestor Meng, the Zerg Queen, and the Mechanical Father God were all present, which was an extremely rare occurrence. The two strongest beings of the demon race had come.

"My spies among the human race report that the Lord of the North Star has reappeared." The Zerg Queen's voice was filled with anger: "I suspected him before, and now it seems he really is capable of doing it."

The three clans were granted numerous titles of kings, and the Venerable One died.

This hadn't happened in hundreds of billions of years. After talking with the strongest beings and the lords of the universe, they discovered that humanity was completely unharmed.

Furthermore, there are reports that Zhou Lin just returned today.

Considering his methods within the human race, the high-ranking officials of the three races were almost certain that the large number of Kings and Universe Venerables who had died over the years were all Zhou Lin's doing.

"If humanity does this, where will our superpowers have a future?!"

Zhen Yaozu's murderous aura surged: "Tell the other peak clans that we must join forces. They can no longer sit idly by and watch the tigers fight."

If the three races were to truly relinquish their existing territories and allow humanity to develop as it pleases, then after trillions of years, the Crystal Race and the Prison Race would likely have to give up their lands as well.

The four strongest beings have accumulated boundless rage. They must unite and even contact other races to coerce humanity.

……

Before long, the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord and the Prison Clan's Demon Ancestor also descended upon this starry sky one after another, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Your Majesty, you say that the true culprit who killed the three kings of the three races is the Lord of Beichen, do you have any evidence?" The silver-clad Demon Ancestor was the first to speak.

The Zerg Queen coldly said, "What evidence do you need for this? He disappeared for hundreds of billions of years without a trace, and as soon as he returned, my three races' kings and a large number of venerables died inexplicably. If it wasn't him, who was it?"

"What if it's you Zerg crying wolf?" The Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed red. He was far from the human territory and there was no conflict between them at the moment.

drop!
The mechanical father god began to play a video.

"Great Lord of the North Star, please save us!"

Countless mortals knelt respectfully before the temple, their planet on the verge of destruction, while the powerful had already departed.

The same applies to any planet. Unless manipulated by a powerful entity, it can only maintain its lifespan for a few hundred billion years at most before it inevitably decays and is destroyed.

Those who remained were almost all apprentices, and apprentices have no status in the universe; they also cannot survive outside their planet.

The Demon Ancestor and the Holy Lord frowned as they watched, unable to understand why the Mechanical Race's Father God had released this video.

next second.

Endless light shone in the sky, and white particles actually condensed into the shape of Zhou Lin. He descended onto this planet and restored it to its original state with a wave of his hand.

Then the light and shadows dissipated, and the mortals devoutly chanted the name of the Lord of the North Star.

This is easy for them; they can simply restore life to a planet and achieve immortality.

"He seems to have been summoned by these mortals? And that figure of light and shadow is not even the Lord of the North Star himself." The appearance of the Crystal Clan's Holy Lord is almost perfect, and his whole body is made of crystal.

But Zhou Lin's figure looked even more perfect than his.

That is the divine body forged by the power of faith.

"Demon Ancestor, we didn't call you here to start a fight," the Dream Demon Ancestor said calmly. "In this situation, if we don't join forces, and my three races cede territory, guess who humanity will target next?"

Both the Holy Lord and the Demon Ancestor understood that if the three races truly retreated, then after a period of human development, they would definitely turn their attention to them.

"We are all in a relationship where if one of us is gone, the other will be in danger."

The Zerg Queen glanced at the Demon Ancestor, and seeing that he did not object, she said, "Cooperation. We must cooperate now and force humanity to compromise."

"How do we force him?" The Demon Ancestor frowned and said, "This is the primordial universe. The Giant Axe is still alive, and you can't kill the Lord of the Northern Star either. If you push him too far, who will suffer more?"

"No matter what, he can only kill Immortals and Venerables," the Holy Lord said firmly. "If we don't compromise, we can simply abandon the lowest levels of our race and completely annihilate the human realm!"

So what if they have the strongest beings in the universe? They can gather a whole bunch of the strongest beings in the universe here, as well as a large number of universe lords.

Furthermore, the purpose of having territories is to reproduce offspring and to create more powerful individuals, but now that the lower classes can no longer develop, what is the point of having territories?

This is something that cannot be compromised. If humanity is given more time to develop, the number of strong individuals on the other side will likely far exceed theirs.
