Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 219 The Body of Causality
A place incredibly far from the continent of origin.

On a high mountain, two enormous figures were chatting idly.

“Brother Youying, your ‘Cause and Effect’ inheritance has been exchanged and cultivated by another god-king level kid. Judging from his appearance, his will is quite firm.”

The world-class Chaos Origin being speaking was named Boyue. He was extremely large, with a single hair comparable to countless universes. The beings within the cage could not even look directly at such an existence.

"What use is a firm will? Although my method has not reached the perfect level of inheritance, the difficulty of cultivation is almost the same. He cannot comprehend the essence and is just a servant of the rules."

The world-class Primordial Shadow is one of the few Source World Lords who did not refine a world-class bloodline but instead followed multiple paths, and is highly regarded by the lords.

Only cultivators who haven't refined world-class bloodlines and are purely focused on enlightenment have the opportunity to comprehend the Primordial Dao and become Primordial Lords. It's just a pity that he wasn't born in the Primordial World.

“It’s difficult. Your method really should be upgraded to the perfect level.” Bo Yue shook his head: “Even those few God Emperors have only entered the realm. It’s too difficult to cultivate further.”

On the cultivator's side, Youying is the one who has achieved the highest level in terms of cause and effect.

Therefore, the method he created was naturally more difficult than other top-tier inheritances, but it couldn't reach the perfect level because of his own limited realm.

"He has exceptional talent and cultivates all four paths simultaneously. He was able to comprehend the path of the soul and the path of the void in the Origin World of the Origin Continent."

Youying frowned and said, "In the Dark World Group, not even a World-level Chaos Origin has been born yet. The Sirius Guest who broke out of the cage a few years ago did have some comprehension, but he was only a high-level Chaos Origin. Such talent is stronger than mine at the God King stage."

He actually had the idea of ​​giving Zhou Lin some pointers. World-class Chaos Origin cultivators are extremely rare, and those who have attained enlightenment are even rarer. It's almost impossible to find a junior of the same level who is better than them.

In his view, as long as Zhou Lin can get a basic understanding of "Cause and Effect", then the first level of the God King realm will be able to truly rival the ultimate realm.

If the nine clones combine their attacks, they might directly possess 30% of the invincible power.

Logically speaking, the way to cultivate such offspring who are not from one's own world group is usually up to the lord. If the lord doesn't care, then no one really cares.

Fortunately, someone exchanged for the inheritance in the infinite space, and the creator was able to receive the notification, which is why Youying paid some attention to Zhou Lin.

"Are you going to bestow some favors upon him?" Bo Yue laughed. "A mere fellow at the first level of the God King realm, even a few words of advice from you would benefit him immensely."

The shadow smiled slightly, and a wisp of thought silently traversed infinite distances, absorbing a bit of primordial power in the dark world, and condensing into a weak avatar.

Although it was a weak incarnation, it was enough to annihilate half of the Chaos Origin.

“Zhou Lin, who originated from the mainland, practices the “Cause and Effect” method. He can observe the process without emotion, but when digesting memories, he must remember that he is a practitioner. Observing the operation of the rules is to better understand cause and effect, not to become the rules.

The voice entered Zhou Lin's mind.

Zhou Lin, who was sitting in his cave pondering, was startled. He had set up a large number of arrays in his cave to shield the secrets of heaven and prevent others from spying on him.

To be able to transmit his voice without alerting him is something even the unfathomable Yanfeng Ancestor probably couldn't do, and he didn't even leave behind a trace of cause and effect.

Appearing without a trace and disappearing without a trace, it was as if a higher-dimensional being was conversing with him. The gap between Zhou Lin and the Hunyuan life form was as vast as the gap between him and a true god.

They are completely two different dimensions.

"A Hunyuan expert, definitely a Hunyuan expert, could he be a lord?" Zhou Lin muttered to himself, realizing that his cultivation had gone wrong.

However, Zhou Lin didn't understand the specific problem. He needed to spend time thinking about it instead of throwing himself into cultivation and repeatedly integrating it.

Once someone points it out, the problem becomes immediately clear.

"The Great Dao is ruthless?" Zhou Lin murmured. He did not continue cultivating, but instead activated his qualification to comprehend the Dao under the Burning Heart Divine Tree, in order to cleanse his soul and will.

His heart is now extremely cold, so cold that he doesn't seem like a living being, but rather more like a vessel of the Great Dao's rules. Even the deaths of familiar friends and teachers from the other side of the cosmic sea can hardly evoke any grief in him.

This was very unusual. Zhou Lin had lost all joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; he had lost all love, hate, and passion. He even had no desire for evolution; all that remained was endless coldness.

Rather than seeking enlightenment, it seems more like being assimilated by the Tao. No one can say for sure what path they will ultimately take.

In the past, there were also god-kings who exchanged cultivation, but let alone someone like Zhou Lin who had integrated into the Great Dao for a long time, even digesting the memories for the first time was very difficult.

Swish!
The original body was thus moved to the void space. It was still that familiar divine tree. Zhou Lin walked over and sat cross-legged below to cultivate quietly.

The deep purple giant tree swayed, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

A gentle breeze brought a rare moment of peace to Zhou Lin's heart. He temporarily forgot about the "Cause and Effect" method, was no longer bound by the ice, and began to cultivate the familiar path of the illusory world.

The four branches of soul, desire, illusion, and annihilation are constantly growing and have long been integrated with the Great Dao, giving Zhou Lin a new understanding of all things in the world.

If you want to understand the two paths of desire and illusion, you must first be able to see through them yourself.

Desire is the root of all evil, and in this respect, cultivators are not much different from ordinary people. Zhou Lin's pursuit of the essence of life is actually the same as ordinary people's pursuit of wealth.

Worldly desires were unimportant to him, but the path of cultivation was what Zhou Lin sought throughout his life.

Zhou Lin suddenly recalled his indifferent state, those times when he merged with the Great Dao and observed the world.

He had lost all desire and was assimilated by the rules. However, this inheritance was not as insane as "Nine Realms of Extinction." The worst outcome was madness.

Humans, and even practitioners, all have desires; this is unavoidable.

Those otherworldly and ethereal masters also had their own desires, and Zhou Lin was no exception. After realizing this, he naturally comprehended the second branch of the Void Realm.

When desire reaches its ultimate understanding, it will also elevate the Eternal Night Realm. This move involves the fusion of the five veins of the Void Realm, but its limit is only the level of a Cosmic God.

The powerful fusion technique on the second level is something no living being can create at present. There is no soul technique as strong as Dongbo Xueying's in the entire Hunyuan Space.

Unfortunately, Zhou Lin's enlightenment was not a branch of the soul, so it did not significantly improve his mental will.

The will of a God Emperor, which was extremely rare in the Origin Continent era, is not uncommon in the later Realm Heart Continent, especially for cultivators of the Soul Path.

Each of them possessed an extremely strong will. After Zhou Lin comprehended the second branch, his spiritual level underwent a transformation, reaching a state beyond "my heart is the heart of heaven."

"It will take some more time to accumulate before I can reach the God Emperor level." Zhou Lin's willpower is now even stronger than it was at the limit of the Ultimate Realm before.

He barely reached the threshold of God Emperor, but failed to condense a spiritual body. This comprehension took more than four million years. Upon returning to the Origin Continent, Zhou Lin immediately activated the method, allowing himself to once again merge with the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

hum~
This time, Zhou Lin only observed the cause and effect of heaven and earth, and saw the endless phenomena of countless beings. All phenomena transformed into causes and effects, and the supreme rules would also send down various calamities in the dark.

For example, any small universe will have epochal cycles.

The operation of the supreme rules cannot be separated from cause and effect, and living in this source world is also inseparable from cause and effect. Even in death or reincarnation, cause and effect still exist.

Then, he began to process the memories again, without using any techniques to make himself cold and indifferent, but instead viewing them from the perspective of a living, breathing person.

Seeing countless lives being devoured, Zhou Lin felt anger; seeing a divine king showing mercy and protecting all living beings, he felt admiration. His joys and sorrows were all so real.

"The Great Dao is ruthless, but man cannot be without feelings." After Zhou Lin understood the key point, he once again merged into the Great Dao, drawing upon the power of cause and effect and the power of faith between heaven and earth through his will.

By cultivating based on the cause and effect of all beings, the primordial universe, numerous smaller universes, and Zhou Lin's own inner universe are all continuously emitting light.

The light instantly traversed countless light-years, exceeding any indescribable speed, and descended upon Zhou Lin through different dimensions.

boom!
Every blade of grass and every tree on this origin continent is constantly supplying Zhou Lin with causal energy, helping him to condense a new physical body.

If it weren't for the numerous array formations in the cave, such a commotion would surely have alerted the Emperor in the capital, and even the Ancestor of Flame Wind might have noticed it.

Endless light converged, cleansing Zhou Lin's body. It was a transformation from the inside out. Compared to this body of cause and effect, the Southern Cloud Sacred Body was like heaven and earth.

The methods of the second level of the Cosmic God are far inferior to those created by the world-class Hunyuan. The Nanyun Sacred Body requires a large amount of material and precious materials to cultivate.

"Cause and Effect" can be transformed into the body of cause and effect simply by absorbing the power of faith.

The prerequisite for using this method is to be able to truly view things from the perspective of an observer, without being influenced by worldly affairs or rules.

Soon, Zhou Lin's physical body completed its transformation. This new divine body was also the mark of entering the "Cause and Effect" method, and from then on, he could shield himself from all heavenly secrets.

Finding Zhou Lin is impossible unless someone at the ultimate level of the Karma realm personally intervenes. And even then, they would need to establish an immense karmic connection with him to make it possible!

With this divine body, he can also use causal teleportation to escape by using any causal link, which is something that spatial sealing cannot prevent.

The Body of Cause and Effect is only in its initial stage, but it is no less than the true Great Perfection of the Sacred Body of Nanyun. No wonder it can be rated as a top-grade inheritance.

“It’s time to build up our power.” Zhou Lin stepped out of his cave and looked at the people coming and going on the street, even though he had already merged with the Great Dao and had observed this scene many times.

But seeing it with your own eyes is a completely different experience.

Swish!
Inside the capital, Zhou Lin used the Karma Escape Technique to arrive at the location of the Wrathful God King. He stood indifferently in front of the golden palace and transmitted his voice, saying, "You don't intend to just brush off your compensation like this, do you?"

Even sealing formations cannot stop this kind of escape technique.

The palace was built in an extremely grand style, stretching for trillions of kilometers and reaching hundreds of billions of kilometers in height. It was made entirely of purple and gold metals, as well as pure gold. The palace was engraved with a large number of magic arrays, showing the imperial style.

However, a closer inspection reveals that there are no precious treasures inside, and there are very few true gods or void gods left to serve them.

The capital city is far from its former glory. The huge city has only about the same population as Huyang City. Even the Eternal True Gods and Chaos Realm beings are unwilling to come here.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Everyone understood that the God-King would not let the matter rest. Such a ruthless figure dared to kill even a monarch, and he would surely settle the score with the Dust Kingdom.

They didn't know what kind of personality Zhou Lin had, and it wasn't impossible that he might slaughter the entire capital in a fit of rage.

The Dark World Group is the territory of Yuan, and Yuan is not exactly merciful at the moment. Such massacres of large cities are common occurrences on the Origin Continent.

"God King Mengchuan, you may take my Dust Kingdom if you wish, but the Thunder Ancient Kingdom will not let this go easily." God King Lizhou walked out dressed in golden robes, his expression showing no surprise. He had long expected this day to come.

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "The Thunder Ancient Kingdom has a total of three and a half out-of-control monarchs and nine normal monarchs. After I killed one of them, there are eleven left. Let them come."

The God-King of the Wrathful Universe calmly said, "I do not wish to offend you. I once followed Lord Lando, but after his death, I had no further connection with the Thunder Kingdom. Let this matter end here."

Offending a master of the Void and the Path of Souls would be unsettling for anyone. The God King of the Wrathful Universe was willing to reconcile, even if it meant compensating with more treasures.

The image of Lord Lan Duo's death seems like it happened just yesterday. He has been hesitant to cultivate the Hunyuan Bloodline because he is afraid that Zhou Lin will one day appear in front of him.

With just a glance, eternal night descends, and he falls into a state of madness, unable even to reincarnate.

Zhou Lin had no intention of making things difficult for the God King of the Li Zhou. The cause and effect between the two could be let go, as his perception was very sharp ever since he cultivated the Body of Cause and Effect.

If the other party cannot swallow this insult and still harbors murderous intent, then the cause and effect cannot be eradicated.

Swish!
After the God King of the Wrathful Universe left, Zhou Lin was about to unleash his domain to cover a large area of ​​Chaos State and notify everyone that the place had changed hands when he found a purplish-black figure standing in front of him.

The purplish-black figure wasn't very large; it resembled a shadowy being, yet it also seemed to possess a physical form. The shadow stood there, as if it didn't belong to this world.

"How could I not have any senses at all?!" Zhou Lin swallowed hard. He was now a cultivator of the Great Dao of the Origin of the World and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Wherever he goes, he can harness the power of the world, and the law of cause and effect allows him to seek advantage and avoid harm. Coupled with his perception of the void, a person who can do this is definitely not a god emperor or a Dao lord.

If you look closely, you'll feel that this purplish-black figure is as vast and endless as the Origin World, and images of the universe's destruction will unconsciously appear in your mind.

Looking at it from another angle, Zhou Lin actually discovered the true nature of all living beings.

In the blink of an eye, this person seemed to have no form at all, like the end of the world, the beginning of an era, even more terrifying than the supreme rules.

The person in front of him gave Zhou Lin the feeling of being in a real primordial space, and in fact, this feeling was not wrong.

Because a world-class primordial source can truly annihilate the primordial world.

"Zhou Lin greets Senior." Zhou Lin immediately bowed respectfully. He wasn't stupid; this was clearly a legendary Hunyuan expert, very likely a lord.
