Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 233 Reveals a Large Reward
The night was not yet over, and the stars in the sky shone brightly, illuminating the ranks of true gods outside the palace. The outer city of the palace was already completely surrounded.

Long queues formed even on the main streets of the city.

In the end, Zhou Lin had to step in and create different dimensional spaces for these True Gods to line up. With a casual glance, he knew that the number of True Gods outside the palace had already exceeded one hundred million.

The Void Path can divide space, with each trillion True Gods residing in a dimensional world, essentially existing on different layers of the same world.

It's like a layered cake.

The Emperor of Guixu and the God King of Lianxu stood on either side of the outer city, while in the very center was an incomparably wide golden avenue, containing a divine aura of law.

"quiet!"

One of the Great Sages of Chaos spoke, and the countless True Gods below fell silent, their gazes fixed on the golden path.

"Welcome, King of Cangyuan!!!"

Immediately afterwards, several Chaos Realm experts shouted in unison, and countless True Gods immediately followed suit, with some even kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to show their respect.

The shouts swept across the entire Chaos Continent like a tsunami, echoing for billions of kilometers.

Like heavenly music, like thunder!
At the end of the golden avenue, a magnificent figure slowly emerged. Zhou Lin was dressed in a seven-colored robe, with embroidered landscapes on his long robe. Upon closer inspection, one could see numerous secret patterns, forming countless worlds!

The magnificent landscape was not a fake, but something Zhou Lin personally crafted using the beauty of a painting.

The endless golden light shone ever brighter, depicting the cosmos and starry sky. With a single step, Zhou Lin quickly arrived at the end of the Great Dao, smiling as he looked at the many true gods.

"Arise, my people." Zhou Lin's voice was calm yet contained supreme authority, instantly earning him a massive amount of reputation points.

The rewards revealed so far are almost all items from the first level of the Cosmic God realm or ordinary level two. The later the game goes, the more life force is required.

Therefore, in Zhou Lin's eyes, the use of this group of true gods was more effective than the two god-kings surrendering, because a god-king level small universe is normally only a trillion to several trillion light-years wide.

Taking a trillion light-years as an example, its volume is only trillion times larger than a true god-level small universe, but the number of living beings is not trillion times greater.

Because true gods, or void true gods, would have a large number of living beings multiplying in their universes, while god-kings would be restricted by the Dao.

For example, even the God-Kings who destroyed the Origin Great Dao would have living beings in their small universes, but the overall environment would not be very habitable.

Furthermore, trillions of true gods are easy to dismiss, but can the God King be dismissed so easily?

"Is this the ruler of Cangyuan Kingdom?! This is the first time I've ever seen someone like this."

“I’ve never even seen the Eternal True God. I never imagined that I would actually be able to meet the King of Cangyuan today.”

They felt extremely honored to have witnessed the existence of a god-king in their lifetime, something they could boast about even in their old age.

Wow!
A dazzling crystal, hundreds of billions of kilometers high and hundreds of billions of kilometers long and wide, appeared in the air. It was the Chaos Crystal that Zhou Lin had gone to great lengths to exchange for.

Chaotic crystals rise high, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sun.

Strangely, as soon as the Chaos Crystal appeared, it was like a painting hanging in front of us, containing a grotto-world, which was the beautiful picture of the Twelve Styles of Nan Yun Sheng.

In the blink of an eye, anything can enter the painting.

This Chaos Crystal City is almost the size of an ordinary city. If it weren't placed in another dimension, where would such a large open space come from to store it?

"Chaos Crystal?!"

"Such a large Chaos Crystal?"

These true gods were stunned. They risked their lives to serve as subordinates to various forces, and earning two Chaos Crystals in an entire era was considered a good reward.

Most people can only earn one dollar.

"When you collect your items, staff will accompany you into the miniature universe for verification," Zhou Lin announced loudly. "Now, begin the exchange!"

Although the small universe of the Origin Continent is absolutely forbidden to be touched by others, and even the owner cannot go back to take refuge.

This is also a restriction imposed by the supreme rules. Otherwise, if a god-king went mad, he could instantly destroy billions of infinitely small universes. What would happen to the cultivators at the bottom level?
However, Zhou Lin still had detection methods. He couldn't completely trust those true gods, so he only needed to have his staff send out a wisp of their will.

It should be understood that even a single mechanical universe master can handle many things in the entire virtual universe, let alone the staff of these lowest eternal true gods.

Simply separate a wisp of virtual will that can retain its spirituality and have the true god transmit it into a miniature universe.

This kind of will has no destructive power, and the supreme rules will not prohibit it. If it is an incarnation of the power of an eternal true god, then it will absolutely not be able to enter.

A vast number of true gods began to line up and advance in an orderly fashion, each receiving a Chaos Crystal, and then spreading their faith in their own miniature universes.

[Congratulations, host! Reputation points +999999999]

[Congratulations, host! Reputation points +999999999]

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the reward: Ultimate Treasure: World Sea]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the following reward: 10081 Nine Abyss Fruits]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: 10081 Firewood Materials]

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the reward: Peak Treasure: Calamity Cloud]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Secret Treasure: Demon Emperor's Robe]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: High-grade Chaotic Origin Corpse Remains x1]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: High-grade Chaotic Origin Corpse Remains x1]

……

There are so many rewards! The moment the exchange is activated, a massive number of True Gods take away the Chaos Origin Crystals. The number of living beings in each True God's miniature universe is more than hundreds of millions.

A diameter of 100 million light-years could contain hundreds of millions of galaxies.

Moreover, because it takes place in a miniature universe, a single word from a true god has an exceptionally strong effect.

Beings born in the microcosm of the true God must cultivate themselves to become the Lord of the Universe before they can leave, at which point they can break free from the influence of the microcosm.

In addition, all other living beings will have complete faith in the true God.

In short, it immediately contributed a massive amount of reputation points to Zhou Lin, and the rewards that were dropped became more and more outrageous; previously, it was just the peak treasure.

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the reward: Supreme Treasure: Crown of Death]

[Congratulations, host, on receiving the reward: Supreme Treasure: Torch of Destruction]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: a large fragment of a high-grade Hunyuan ore.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Azure Sky Formation Diagram]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Rain Sky Pearl]

……

There were also all sorts of materials, too many to list. The staff were efficient at exchanging them, since everyone was a cultivator and there were only so many Chaos Crystals available.

Zhou Lin has almost exhausted his reserves to collect Chaos Crystals. All the large cities in the entire Cangyuan Kingdom currently have no Chaos Crystals in stock.

His Chaos Crystal was divided into a total of 300 trillion Chaos Crystals.

A large amount of cosmic sand was left for the Void Gods and Eternal Gods to exchange. The exchange event lasted for a whole day on the Origin Continent.

Three hundred trillion Chaos Crystals were enough for thirty quadrillion True Gods to exchange for a sufficient amount, leaving the rest of the queue feeling quite disappointed.

Some people think that Zhou Lin should lower the price to 100 Chaos Crystals, which would allow him to exchange for 300 trillion True Gods.

But he simply said casually, "If it were only a hundred Chaos Crystals, the True Gods would never have such fanatical emotions."

One hundred Chaos Crystals is an attainable number for most True Gods; they can accumulate them in just fifty or at most one hundred epochs.

But a thousand Chaos Crystals is considered an enormous fortune.

Furthermore, he can't fully utilize most of the treasures Zhou Lin revealed, and he can't even use the supreme treasures.

Besides the ultimate treasures of his own path, Zhou Lin had twenty-eight other treasures, which he planned to use to arm his subordinate God-Kings.

Among the supreme treasures, there is a Destruction Path that can be left for the future Morosa to use, at which time he will immediately transform into an invincible being.

"I never expected that these things I'm working on won't actually give me the biggest boost to my combat power." Zhou Lin looked at the top-tier treasures one by one, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

In the Hunyuan worldview, the most suitable treasure is actually one that is one level higher than the current realm. For example, if you are at the second level of the Cosmic God realm, you would be a Great Venerable if you possess a peak secret treasure.

If one has the right techniques and several top-tier treasures, reaching the level of Fu Yi, then one can suppress the ultimate realm of enlightenment.

Or, at the ultimate level, one can use the supreme treasure to become invincible.

However, if it's a treasure that's +2 to the current level, it can be used, but the effect is almost the same as a treasure that's +1.

It might not even be as good as a +1 treasure.

For example, if the Lord of the Universe uses the most powerful treasure, which is at the level of a true god or a void true god, the power it unleashes will not change, and it will be far inferior to a suitable mechanical treasure.

Zhou Lin is not yet prepared to bestow the secret treasure upon his subordinates.

Understanding a character cannot be solely based on the original work. They may not betray Luo Feng, but who can say for sure whether they will betray themselves?

The Earth God King can now fight against Emperors and Monarchs, even though he is of a higher level.

If Zhou Lin were to bestow upon him several suitable top-tier secret treasures, allowing him to research exquisite techniques, he would undoubtedly possess the strength of the Great Venerable Fu Yi.

Therefore, he had to wait until Morosa reached the ultimate level before bestowing suitable secret treasures upon his subordinates, at which point the god-kings would wholeheartedly follow Zhou Lin.

"Sigh, since coming to the Origin Continent, my thoughts have become much more complicated than before." Zhou Lin shook his head. These thoughts had come to him subconsciously after he obtained the secret treasure.

The intrigue and power struggles on the Origin Continent are far from simple, especially the group of god-kings under his command. They are no ordinary people who have fought against the two ancient kingdoms for so long.

The event to exchange faith for Chaos Crystals has temporarily ended, much to the frustration of those true gods who came up empty-handed. However, news was subsequently released.

“All true gods who come to the capital of Cangyuan Kingdom can obtain one cycle of residence time for free.”

……

To reside in Huyang City for one cycle, one needs to pay one Chaos Crystal.

The capital of Cangyuan Kingdom has five Chaos Crystals for each cycle of life, so the original True Gods in the city were almost all from prestigious families, otherwise they would not be so wealthy.

The gods were deeply grateful, but Zhou Lin didn't take it seriously. Providing them with free accommodation had no cost to him, so why would it affect the collection of accommodation fees?

Thirty trillion true gods obtained a thousand chaos crystals. How could they live in the city without incurring other expenses?

For most true gods, breaking through to the Void God realm is an unattainable dream; the first thing they do after acquiring enormous wealth is to live a carefree life.

I must now visit the taverns I never dared to go to before, and I must now listen to the tunes I never dared to listen to before.

Even those who cultivate diligently need to use these 1000 Chaos Crystals to purchase a large amount of resources to assist their cultivation, hoping to break through to the Void True God realm as soon as possible.

"Morosa will reach the ultimate level within ten epochs. I need to advance to the second level of the Cosmic God as soon as possible. With several top-level secret treasures, nine avatars, and perfect inheritance, I should be invincible."

If Zhou Lin had focused on one or two paths, he probably would have already reached the second level of the Cosmic God realm.

The void had wasted a lot of his time, and due to cause and effect, he had cultivated two extremely difficult lineages in the world.

Cultivation and inheritance are for improving combat power at the current level, but the Dao still needs to be comprehended by oneself. There is nothing wrong with Zhou Lin's method of reaching the extreme at the same level.

The level one of the Cosmic God realm can rival the Ultimate realm, but this is far from the limit of what he can achieve...

"Should I elevate the world, or elevate cause and effect, or perhaps study the illusory realm?" Zhou Lin needed to carefully consider which path he was going to comprehend during his seclusion before he could reach the second level.

He possesses the Tribulation Cloud, a supreme treasure of the Dao of Cause and Effect; the World Sea, a supreme treasure of the Dao of World; and the Demon Emperor's Robe, which is merely a treasure of the Dao of the Void.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Lin decided to cultivate the world first.

There is an avatar currently cultivating the "Eternal" world. When the will returns and the memories are connected, it should also have a stimulating effect on the Dao.

Secondly, the Ancestor of Flame Wind was a master of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Although his realm was only at the ultimate level, when combined with the Great Dao of Flame Origin, which was at the late stage of the God Emperor level, the profoundness of the theory of causal fire surpassed the ultimate level.

It is very difficult to integrate the four major schools of thought in the world, but many people can actually achieve ultimate understanding of a single school.

Heaven and earth are infinite, time and space are endless. Even god-kings and god-emperors are as insignificant as dust in this world. The complete origin of the world is extremely complex.

The world, life and death, reincarnation, chaos.

Each lineage involves a massive amount of architecture. If the Void Dao is closely connected to the Chaos Origin Space, then the World Dao is closely connected to the Supreme Rules.

Zhou Lin plans to use the world as a foundation to integrate other branches.

The first thing they tried was chaos.

In the process of the two branches merging, Zhou Lin needed to establish a large number of worlds to experiment with, and at this time the benefits of the Void Realm Dao became apparent.

For a normal god-king to attempt this step, it would require creating a real world.

Zhou Lin, however, could create reality simply by transforming the illusory realm into reality.

One world after another was born, and countless thoughts were constantly being studied. Zhou Lin's deduction speed was ridiculously fast. He felt that if the direction was correct, they could be integrated in four eras if they were fast enough.

Slow down, then it's almost the same as Morosa becoming the ultimate.

"The world itself is the world, nothingness, emptiness. Only with chaos can the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, lightning, wind, and the basic elements of time and space evolve."

Zhou Lin had previously comprehended the Divine Heart of the World, so he had also compared the differences between the two.

The World God's Heart is based on the elements of earth, water, fire, and wind that constitute the world.

However, even after a god in the first heavenly realm comprehends the truth, the world within his body remains chaotic and incapable of giving birth to living beings. He needs to continuously add the rules of heaven and earth to perfect it.

When one reaches the level of the fundamental Dao of the world, what is needed is chaotic evolution, with life and death bestowing spiritual energy, and reincarnation maintaining balance.

A century has passed...

The will of the avatar who cultivated the "Eternal World" suddenly returned.
