Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 203 Becoming a Cosmic God

Thirty million years after Luo Feng and the original ancestor entered the cycle of reincarnation.

With the acceleration of time, Zhou Lin had already spent billions of years, and he had completed the cultivation of the "Twelve Forms of the Southern Cloud Saint"—its beauty as exquisite as a painting and its ability to shatter the heavens.

Cultivating these techniques is extremely difficult; they are the signature skills of the King of Nanyun. His core techniques are actually Beauty Like a Painting, Breaking the Sky, and the Sacred Body of Nanyun.

This "Twelve Styles of the Southern Cloud Saint" can ultimately be divided into two paths that continue to deepen. It is as beautiful as a painting and breaks through the sky as a secret technique. Even the simplified version of the move has the power of the ninth level of the Chaos Realm.

The system provided a large number of treasures for free to cultivate the Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Zhou Lin quickly reached the tenth level of perfection, and was able to use this terrifying physical body to perform the technique.

By now, Zhou Lin has undoubtedly reached the tenth level of the Chaos Realm.

Comparable to the newly crowned cosmic god.

The Mountain Refiner of the Treasure Refining School is definitely no match for Zhou Lin.

Over these endless years, the system finally revealed to Zhou Lin a unique inheritance in the field of causality and a inheritance in the field of the virtual world.

"Endless Calamity" and "Eternal Night Realm" are both supreme techniques that completely surpass "Five Phases Sealing Technique" in terms of difficulty. In particular, "Endless Calamity" requires a certain level of understanding of the cause, calamity, and effect at the same time.

The Eternal Night Realm requires the ability to unleash five different soul techniques at the tenth level of the Chaos Realm in order to combine them and form boundless darkness.

These methods could all be used during the time of the cosmic gods.

Based on the methods in "Endless Calamities," Zhou Lin also began to study the Calamity branch. He could even summon calamities based on the slander and insults of others without having to give it a thought.

For example, if he were to kill a cosmic lord of the demon race, and someone from that race harbored resentment and cursed Zhou Lin, then he would be struck by lightning.

These calamities vary in severity, and their power adapts to the degree of cause and effect of hatred.

"Next time I go into seclusion, I will try to achieve the Void, or perhaps become a Cosmic God through cause and effect." After Zhou Lin emerged from seclusion, he met with many people from the Primordial Universe.

There are several teachers, including Maple King, Palace Master of Heavenly Eclipse, and Demon God of Illusion.

Maple King is now at the level of a universe master, but he hasn't even reached the fifth rank yet. It's likely that he won't become a true god even when this cycle of reincarnation ends.

The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace achieved true godhood a million years ago. Relying on the mechanical treasures and other powerful artifacts, he was in no way inferior to the original ancestor. Although the Void True Demon God had reached the limit of true godhood, he still saw no hope of breaking through the cycle of reincarnation.

“Teacher, don’t worry. It won’t be long before I can help you cultivate to the Void Realm.” Zhou Lin promised the Void Demon God, “I will teach you a new system, and you will definitely have a chance to break through.”

The illusory demon god smiled and said, "I'm definitely not in a hurry. I have an infinite lifespan now, so what's there to rush?"

In fact, those who could become true gods in the early stages of the primordial universe were no less talented than the true god rulers of the Tianyu universe.

If the True Demon God were to switch to cultivating the system of rules and mysteries, and with Zhou Lin's guidance, he might not be able to reach a very high level, but reaching the Unity Realm would definitely be no problem at all.

The Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master is somewhat lacking, but if he has the ambition to climb higher, Zhou Lin is willing to help him switch to cultivating the Bloodline Flow.

It is worth mentioning that Giant Axe now has the possibility of breaking through the cycle of reincarnation. He himself has extremely high talent and is expected to reach the tenth level without the Broken East River inheritance.

Zhou Lin told the giant axe that he could wait for him to go to the Origin Continent together.

After meeting everyone, Zhou Lin began his final seclusion, and this time he would break through to the level of a Cosmic God before emerging.

"First cultivate the void."

Zhou Lin comprehended the "Five Phases Sealing Technique." If he successfully cultivated this unique skill, the probability of him becoming a cosmic god in the future would be 100%.

The difficulty of cultivating the Five Phases Sealing Technique in the Chaos Realm is extremely high, but the Eternal Night Realm and the Endless Calamity are even more difficult.

Over millions of years, Zhou Lin successfully cultivated the Celestial Manifestation technique. This lineage allows for large-scale manipulation of the void. Even without mastering the Transcendent Teleportation Technique, those who have mastered the Celestial Manifestation can teleport over extremely long distances.

Even those who have just entered the Five Phases realm possess the combat power of the ninth level of the Chaos Realm.

After cultivating for a billion years, Zhou Lin comprehended the Earth Form, which is the material manifestation of the void. Its difficulty is actually comparable to that of the Heaven Form.

However, he had never encountered this before, and he relied on the Void Dao Secret Treasure Five Phase Pearls that the system revealed later to comprehend it. The materialization of the void is completely invisible in the cosmic sea environment.

Otherwise, if Zhou Lin were to study it on his own, it would take a billion years? A hundred billion years would probably be too short.

After completing his cultivation of the Earthly Phase, Zhou Lin's comprehension of the Violent Phase became relatively quick, which was inseparable from the Five Phase Beads given to him by the system.

The Five Phases Pearl is a secret treasure crafted by the Lord of Nanyun Kingdom. Its value even surpasses that of the Crimson Cloud Divine Spear. If one can successfully cultivate the Five Phases Sealing Technique, combined with this secret treasure, it can be said to be able to sweep away ordinary Chaos Realm level 10 cultivators.

If he were on the Origin Continent today, he would probably be the number one person in the Chaos Realm.

After all, in terms of basic resources, the Realm Heart Continent is still stronger.

The mist phase took nearly fifty million years to comprehend, and the most difficult aspect, the true form, took a long time to grasp, so Zhou Lin temporarily gave up on it and went to study the "Endless Calamity".

This unique skill can use the calamity vein to obscure the secrets of heaven and confuse cause and effect. It can bring down calamities through the causal vein and then use the result to directly point to the source, and even various incarnations.

"Endless Calamity" is no exaggeration to be named as such. Once unleashed, it will unleash a continuous stream of calamities upon the opponent, each wave stronger than the last.

It may start as just a move at the ninth level of the Chaos Realm, but with unlimited stacking, it will quickly reach the tenth level of the Chaos Realm, and may even become stronger and stronger.

The calamity will only cease when the cause and effect dissipate.

This move is also very strong in direct combat. Once mastered, it can instantly stack up calamities and then unleash a powerful causal attack to crush the opponent.

It was an unavoidable crushing defeat; even the most ethereal beings would be attacked.

This is what truly deserves to be called a supreme technique on par with "Eternal Night Realm".

After 43 million years of contemplation, Zhou Lin figured out how to conceal the secrets of heaven, which is also a crucial introduction to "Endless Calamity".

Because you can conceal your own secrets, your opponent won't even know who launched the attack, and will face endless calamities.

Many cosmic gods facing this calamity and curse can only try to find the source of the calamity cloud and destroy it themselves. If they really can't do it, they have to ask others for help.

Please, invincible beings, or cosmic gods skilled in cause and effect, intervene.

Another two hundred million years passed, and Zhou Lin comprehended the method of directly pointing to the origin. Cultivators of the path of cause and effect are extremely restrained by puppets or naturally primordial beings.

Because the essence of primordial life is the life core, they will hide the life core very deeply, while cause and effect can directly point to the life core.

"Do I really have to become a cosmic god first by using the fundamental principle of cause and effect?"

Zhou Lin himself was amazed by his progress in cultivation. He was surprised that he could learn the "Endless Calamity" technique, which was more difficult than the "Five Phases Sealing Technique," so smoothly.

The final calamity didn't take much time either; Zhou Lin successfully comprehended it in just 170 million years, and then combined it with other techniques for use. Unfortunately, in the vast cosmic sea, he couldn't find anyone to demonstrate just how powerful this endless calamity truly was.

The ultimate power of the ninth to tenth levels of the Chaos Realm descended continuously, capable of shattering the entire interior of the primordial universe in a short amount of time.

An ordinary true god's heart is shattered with just one glance.

If he were in the Heart Continent of the Later World, he would probably shock all the Cosmic Gods. What does it mean to comprehend the "Endless Calamity" during the Chaos Realm?
Although the Five Phases Sealing Technique, the Great Dao Song, the Eternal Night Realm, and the Endless Calamity are all at the same level, their difficulty levels still differ.

The highest level is "Eternal Night Realm", followed by "Endless Calamity" and "Great Dao Song", while "Five Phases Sealing Technique" is relatively easy.

Zhou Lin's talent in the field of cause and effect is indeed astonishing.

After comprehending a unique skill, Zhou Lin no longer needed to consider the void or becoming a cosmic god; he could already see the path to breakthrough in the realm of cause and effect.

All three channels can potentially be fully comprehended, but combining them would be extremely difficult. Many cultivators of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect are stuck at the first level of the God King realm.

A cultivator at the second level of the God King realm, with a slightly better setup, is basically unkillable in the Origin Continent.

Zhou Lin was preparing to comprehend a branch meridian, which was very different from comprehending an ultimate technique. An ultimate technique did not require complete mastery; one only needed to know how to use it.

He first tried to comprehend the fruit veins, which was Zhou Lin's forte in the past, but he hadn't used it for a long time except when he was killing Zi Yue.

Humanity holds an extremely high position in the cosmic ocean.

Even the strongest beings in the primordial universe dare not oppose humanity anymore.

The three channels of cause and effect are: cause, which is the means of detection, tracing, concealing heavenly secrets, and escape. It is possible to escape many strict blockades through the escape of cause and effect.

It can also sever karmic ties with others, preventing attacks from infiltrating the resurrection vessel along the karmic path, as well as various clones.

The master of the fruit is ruthless; by grasping the complete fruit lineage, one can directly point to the source.

Calamity is not only a calamity for others, but also for oneself. It is somewhat similar to fate. Cultivators who master the Calamity Meridian have an extremely keen perception of fate.

They can even accurately predict the time of the destruction of the source world, or the calamities they themselves may face.

After comprehending the Fruit Meridian for a million years, Zhou Lin began to comprehend the other two meridians, constantly absorbing their mysteries and trying to perfect them within his own miniature chaotic universe.

If one can fully master it, the universe within the body will naturally be born as a complete universe.

The 36 millionth year of cultivation.

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: the Robe of Innocence]

The sheer number of ancient texts, secret treasures, and various weapons that Zhou Lin revealed is comparable to the inventory of the Myriad Manifestations Hall in the Taixu Heavenly Palace.

It has everything, so much so that it's dazzling.

After checking the attributes of this garment of no illusion, he discovered that it was actually a secret treasure related to cause and effect, and he quickly took it out to study it carefully.

The Wuwang Robe was pure black, so deep that it seemed to devour all light. Zhou Lin discovered two veins just by studying the surface ripples.

The two lineages of Yin and Jie.

There seems to be another lineage within, and wearing this robe can effectively conceal one's secrets. While it may be slightly weaker in terms of killing power, it is very suitable for Zhou Lin.

He possesses both "Endless Calamity" and "Five Phases Sealing Technique," both of which are considered top-tier attacks within the tenth level of the Chaos Realm.

At that time, the Five Phases Sealing Technique will be used to seal the void, and then the Endless Calamity will be used to instantly stack attacks on the source. The weak God King will probably die instantly.

Someone of the level of the Mountain-Sitting Guest would be impossible to escape if Zhou Lin slapped him.

Using the Wuwang Robe to study its secret patterns, Zhou Lin himself comprehended two God-King level moves that could be used to deceive the heavens. If there was no direct causal contact with him, even the Flame Wind Ancestor would not be able to see through his identity!
That's how cause and effect work; those without the means to see it clearly will easily be exposed.

However, once such methods are available, even a late-stage God Emperor who has attained enlightenment will find it difficult to see through the Heavenly Secrets of a first-level God King or even a Chaos Realm cultivator.

Once someone in the Chaos Realm creates their own God-King techniques, they are basically not far from breaking through to the next level.

Another four million years have passed...

"Huh?!" Zhou Lin was creating the third move of the God King technique when suddenly a myriad of insights surged into his mind, and the complete cause and effect were instantly conceived.

"I've finally figured out the pulse." Zhou Lin wasn't surprised. When he created his first God King move, if he had spent time comprehending the branches directly, it would probably have taken tens of thousands of years to complete it.

However, he still insisted on creating high-level moves, which would further stimulate his own understanding.

However, he is still a step behind the Fruit Vein and the Calamity Vein. In Zhou Lin's opinion, this probably requires a certain amount of practical experience, otherwise it will always be difficult to see through.

After all these years, Zhou Lin hadn't even had a chance to fully unleash his power when fighting the Eternal True God. He had the Black Gourd, a freakish treasure, which made things too easy for him in the Cosmic Sea.

Therefore, without going to the Origin Continent, Zhou Lin could not be truly tempered, but he still became a cosmic god within trillions of years!

He explored everything on his own, learning from nature, and at most comprehending the secrets of treasures. Zhou Lin immediately prepared to break through, using the system of rules and mysteries as his framework.

Rumble!
The miniature chaotic universe within his body was now undergoing a complete upheaval.

Supported by a complete set of rules, the internal universe evolves at an extremely fast rate. Of course, it is still far inferior to the virtual universe, since that is a real existence.

Having broken through to the level of a Cosmic God, Zhou Lin's rules now apply to all source worlds. Under the perception of the supreme rules, Zhou Lin is now a God King!
At this moment, he finally sensed that the supreme rules were commanding him to break through the cycle of reincarnation within a specified time. Zhou Lin immediately notified the giant axe that it could begin the breakthrough.

As the universe within his body evolved, Zhou Lin also began to break through in the miniature universe within the cosmic sea.

"My inner universe?!"

To Zhou Lin's surprise, even after his internal universe reached the trillion-light-year mark, it continued to expand wildly without showing any signs of stopping.

In a normal universe, the level one god has an internal universe with a diameter of trillions to three trillion light-years.

The second level is between three trillion and six trillion light-years in diameter, while the ultimate level is nine trillion light-years in diameter. Unless they are willing to pay a huge price, they can only upgrade to ten trillion light-years.

Although the Dao is perfect, the foundation of the small universe was imperfect from the beginning, so the maximum limit is only nine trillion light-years.

There is only one exception: the virtual universe, which is tens of thousands of times larger than the normal real universe, that is, 21.54 trillion light-years, or even larger.

The virtual universe is not bound by the supreme rules, so it is possible for it to grow to trillions, quadrillions, or even infinitely vast.

Because it is not a real universe, it does not truly exist. Even if beings within it could descend into reality, the master would have to pay a price.
