Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 220 World-Class Chaos Source Recruitment of Disciples

Zhou Lin still didn't know who the lords were. The information he got from Xueying was Yuan, Jin, Luo Feng, and Xingmang. The others hadn't been mentioned at all.

Even high-level Chaos Origin, world-class Chaos Origin, or lords felt terrifying in front of Zhou Lin, even though his body was only at the Chaos Realm.

If a world-class Chaos Source truly wanted to kill a life confined within a cage, it would have plenty of means; it could simply use weapons to transmit cause and effect. Even a semi-Chaos Source couldn't withstand such pollution.

Unless the mind and will break free from their cage.

"I gave you a hint back then, and I never expected you to comprehend the Dharma of Cause and Effect so quickly." The world-class Chaos Origin Shadow laughed, "Get up, no need for formalities."

Only then did Zhou Lin dare to stand up. This was the first time he had faced a powerhouse with such a vast difference in dimensionality, even more terrifying than when he looked at the Heavenly Eclipse Palace Master at the Cosmic level.

There is no such dimensional difference between them and the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Zhou Lin said respectfully, "Without your guidance, I'm afraid it would have taken me several more centuries to understand."

"If you can understand it, then everything will be explained."

Youying sighed, "Although it is possible for someone at the God-King level to truly grasp the essence of my inheritance, currently all those who have successfully cultivated it are above the God-King level."

Zhou Lin did not reply; he did not understand why this powerful expert from the Hunyuan realm had come to find him.

Is he going to take on apprentices?

Looking back at his memories of the Nine Rivers Holy Realm, the Dark Holy Realm, the Hungry World, and the Thunder World, he had never heard of a Hunyuan expert taking on a disciple.

Whether one can break free from the cage depends primarily on the individual. No amount of guidance from a powerful figure can change that. As for how strong one is within the cage, whether it's a dual-path semi-primordial state or a fused path semi-primordial state, it doesn't matter.

Do the lords care?

The bestowal of secret treasures, powerful bloodlines, world-class primordial remains, and even treasures crafted from ancestral corpses are not meant to make them stronger than anyone else.

No matter how strong the fighting power inside the cage is, there are countless monstrous talents at the God Emperor stage, but very few manage to escape.

As for the monstrous talents at the God-King level, they are as numerous as hairs on a cow. Even Luo Feng is not particularly outstanding among them, and Dongbo Xueying's progress in the Void Dao is equally unremarkable.

The world-class Chaos Shadow continued to speak to itself: "I have always firmly believed that if the Dao of Cause and Effect could reach the Chaos level, it would be a completely different concept from what it is now."

He was invincible during the semi-primordial era. The Shadow is cause and effect, the Way of Shadow is integrated, and his mind and will broke free from the cage early on. He is considered one of the best among the invincible.

He was favored by Lord Moman, who helped him reincarnate into the Shadow Source World. In just twenty-three reincarnations, Youying comprehended the Material Dao, the Boundless Dao, and the Extreme Dao, reaching the second level of the God King Realm.

Having mastered all five fundamental paths, one can easily take control of the Origin World, using its power to transcend and become a world-class Chaos Origin.

After becoming a world-class Hunyuan, Youying quickly cultivated to the world-class perfection. Then he spent a lot of time comprehending the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, hoping to comprehend the Dao of Cause and Effect at the Hunyuan level.

Unfortunately, perhaps because of his origins in the Hundred Million Worlds, he was never able to become a lord, and at this point, no one could guide him.

Each lord's path is different; even if they all follow the same path of primordial creation and destruction, the proportions will differ due to their individual spiritual understanding.

He was stuck at the level of perfect world-class Hunyuan, but he had comprehended many Daos, so he was considered one of the strongest world-class Hunyuan cultivators.

Now, and up to the era of Dongbo Xueying, all lords are beings from the source world.

"Hunyuan?" Zhou Lin asked, feigning confusion.

Youying nodded and replied, "The supreme Hunyuan Dao." That is the lifelong pursuit of every Dao Enlightenment cultivator; as long as one comprehends the Hunyuan Dao, one immediately becomes a lord.

“I used to be called the Shadow Dao Lord. During that period, I slaughtered countless low-level Chaos Origin beings. The Dao of Cause and Effect had an extremely fatal effect on them.”

Youying slowly said, "Therefore I firmly believe that if cause and effect can be elevated to the level of Hunyuan, it will also be a fatal blow to the life core of the ancestors."

Currently, the strongest offensive lords are Moman, Jin, and Minghuang, although Minghuang does have a 100% hit rate attack.

But she couldn't quite grasp the essence of life.

The ultimate level, the semi-primordial level of causal principles, is meaningless in a battle between lords.

The lords may have also thought about how terrifying it would be if cause and effect could be elevated to the level of Hunyuan Dao, since even the progenitors have not yet mastered the highest level of power in the field of cause and effect.

However, they can only comprehend the path that their hearts approve of. The paths that they are not good at or reject are difficult even for the God King realm.

"Senior, aren't these things a bit too far-fetched for me?"

Zhou Lin murmured, "I haven't even reached the Ultimate Realm... no, I haven't even merged the branches of cause and effect, and you're telling me about the Primordial Chaos Level?"

To talk about half of the Chaos Origin with a first-level God King, to talk about the Chaos Origin Dao.
What's the difference between this and telling the true god of the primordial universe that you must comprehend the branches of the Great Dao to become god-kings?

"Among billions of worlds and countless source worlds, among so many cultivators, your talent in causality is the highest I have ever seen, even higher than mine."

There was a look of reminiscence in Youying's eyes, as if recalling his experience of groping in the dark, relying on his invincible fusion with the Dao to conquer all the holy realms.

Even though his cultivation speed was fast, it was still far inferior to Zhou Lin's, who was simultaneously cultivating four fundamental Dao paths.

This is the first time I've exchanged for the inheritance, and with a little guidance, I'll be able to enter the realm of "Cause and Effect" at the first level of the God King realm!
What only God Emperors can do, Zhou Lin, a God King at the first level, can do. He seems to have an innate talent for cause and effect.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior," Zhou Lin replied, thinking to himself, "If you're going to take on a disciple, could you just skip all that nonsense and get straight to the point?"

"Are you willing to become your teacher?"

The next second, Shadow finally uttered those words.

"This disciple is willing." Zhou Lin respectfully performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony and said sincerely, "It is my honor to be able to become your disciple."

Judging from what Youying just said, he was comprehending the Chaos Origin Dao, so it must not be some high-level Chaos Origin, but a world-class Chaos Origin.

To become an apprentice of a world-class Hunyuan master?

This is such an incredible privilege! I've never heard of any God Emperor being able to become a disciple of a world-class Chaos Source.

"Although you have become my disciple, and are my second disciple, I will not interfere in any cause and effect before you escaped the cage, or in any struggle with the life within the cage."

With his hands behind his back, Youying paced back and forth in front of the hall. When he was thinking, he liked to transform into a shadow and float around. At this moment, he was just walking.

Those who have a profound understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect will know how great an impact a primordial being's intervention in the causal cage of cause and effect can have.

The path of cultivation is best walked by oneself. Others cannot interfere, nor can they create a true strong person. At most, guidance can help Zhou Lin avoid some detours.
