Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 256 The Possibility of Becoming a Lord

Upon seeing Zhou Lin, Xingmang's attitude was completely different.

He wore a gentle smile. The lord naturally held such a prodigious talent in high regard, as he possessed the potential to become a world-class Chaos Origin during the God-King era.

How likely is that he could become a future lord?

It should be noted that in the possibility that Xingmang saw, Zhou Lin was even following the path of enlightenment, not refining his bloodline.

“Zhou Lin,” Xingmang laughed, “The Dark World Group is Elder Brother’s territory. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be my turn to meet you, but I have seen the future.”

"You saw the future?!"

Zhou Lin pondered the amount of information conveyed in that sentence.

Could the Lord of Hunyuan possibly see the timeline? If so, how? Is it through the third realm of the Universe Ranks? Or through the method of observing fate found in the Desolate Era?
When it comes to observing destiny, the path of a spiritual practitioner is the most difficult to fathom.

"Zhou Lin greets Senior." After bowing, Zhou Lin asked, "Senior, have you come to see me because you have something to advise me on?"

He is not at the ultimate level yet.

Is a mere second-level God King realm enough to warrant a personal audience with a lord?
It would be a lie to say he wasn't apprehensive. After all, Zhou Lin only had a certain understanding of the lord's temperament among Yuan, Luo Feng, Xue Ying, and Jin.

The key issue is that one of them hasn't even been born yet, and the other is not as good as him now.

"Your future holds infinite possibilities." Xingmang's eyes burned with fervor. Before he even met Zhou Lin, he had already envisioned countless futures.

The lowest achievement among them is three and a half Chaos Origin + Advanced Will.

That was already the highest achievement that he had in mind for Daoist Long Jiu.

Now, Xingmang has come to see Zhou Lin in person because of the intervention of a Hunyuan expert. The future timeline has suddenly increased so much that no number can explain it.

"Thank you for your praise, senior." Zhou Lin was still baffled. Did this Lord Hunyuan come to see him just to boast about how awesome he was?!

Even Xingmang was overly polite, treating Zhou Lin like a mere friend.

In Zhou Lin's understanding, a lord is the strongest individual in the Hunyuan Space, and their strength should be roughly equal, and they are immortal.

In reality, even though the Golden Lord, who has mastered the Chaos Destruction Dao, can't defeat Jin He, can't defeat the Demon Ruins, and can't defeat Kafshu, he still has a long way to go.

"Your cultivation of the world, cause and effect, and the path of the soul requires you to experience all sorts of places. A single source world is too small and unsuitable."

Xingmang spoke to himself, having seen through all of Zhou Lin's experiences at a glance. Although he couldn't detect the existence of the system, he could see through the inexplicable true meaning, methods, and equipment.

All of this made Xingmang realize that Zhou Lin probably had an unimaginable secret.

However, he did not covet it, nor did he inquire about anything, because Zhou Lin was a cultivator, and no matter how high his future achievements were, he would still be one of his own.

"I..." Zhou Lin was about to say something when Xing Mang waved his hand, signaling him not to speak yet.

Zhou Lin immediately shut up.

"You will need to experience a lot in the Origin World. You will need to wander in the mortal world and temper your mind. This Origin Continent is more like a prison."

Starlight smiled and said, "My name is Starlight. After this trial you've completed, I will take you to experience various source worlds and countless worlds."

Zhou Lin was shocked. This was the legendary Lord of Hunyuan, Xingmang!

Xueying also mentioned starlight in the original text.

He is said to be the most skilled at sneak attacks among the Hunyuan Lords. According to Zhou Lin's understanding of combat, only those who excel at concealing themselves can navigate the Void Realm, the Void, and the Time-Space Realm.

At this moment, within that endless timeline, the starlight saw countless possibilities for the future, and a single conversation split into nearly 10^63 possibilities.

Of these possibilities, there is a 75% chance that Zhou Lin will become a world-class Hunyuan.

There is another possibility: that Zhou Lin will become a Lord-level Chaos Source... When it comes to cultivating the next generation, Yuan can be said to be the most skilled. All the Lords who came after him owe their credit to him, including Xingmang, Luo Feng, and Xueying.

However, the quality of his absolute domain experts is the highest among all the Star Brilliance.

He observes the timeline to determine who has the potential to become a world-class Chaos Source or a high-level Chaos Source, and then cultivates them according to the percentage.

Then adjust the plan according to the changing timeline.

Although Long Jiu Daojun has experienced thirty reincarnations, the starlight can still see that he has the opportunity to comprehend the Dao. Otherwise, he may become disheartened and refine a world-class Hunyuan bloodline.

"At the God-King stage, one can already see the possibility of becoming a Lord?" Xingmang slightly changed his mind and glanced at Luo Feng, unexpectedly seeing the possibility of becoming a World-Class Chaos Origin as well!

This is because of intervention at the lord level.

Zhou Lin can now see through the mundane aspects of life at a glance, especially within his own universe.

With just one glance, one can see everything from birth to death.

However, if one embarks on the path of cultivation, the trajectory of one's destiny becomes unpredictable and will undergo many changes depending on one's position.

Even for the most ordinary immortal gods, it is very difficult for Zhou Lin to fully understand fate unless he forcibly interferes with cause and effect.

A single word from a lord can bring about a tremendous change.

For example, if Luo Feng were willing to tell Shi Laoguai that his attempt to break the law with force was a pipe dream, or to tell Feng Yun Yiye that he should honestly go to the Origin World to reincarnate.

Their fates will be completely different.

Time, fate, cause and effect—all are too mysterious.

“I will sense this mark once you choose to activate it after the war on the Origin Continent ends,” Starlight reminded him. “One cannot slack off on the path of cultivation; in the end, one must rely on oneself.”

He had also seen some younger generations who, due to the intervention of powerful experts from the Hunyuan realm, relaxed their guard and ended up fading into obscurity.

The path of spiritual practice is also a path of cultivating the mind; once the mind becomes weak, one loses all hope of progress.

Swish!
The starlight quickly disappeared from the spot. It was wartime, and each of his clones had a purpose, so he should use them for important tasks as much as possible.

For example, slaughtering world-class Hunyuan and capturing high-level Hunyuan.

After Xingmang left, Zhou Lin was still in a daze for a long time. What exactly did he do to be accepted as a disciple by a world-class Hunyuan during his God King period?

Then he met the Star Lord, and the lord wanted to take him to various worlds.

Is this the treatment given to the most outstanding prodigies?

During his semi-primordial period, Xingmang received equally extraordinary treatment, and he was even able to exchange for world-class primordial servants.

"Never mind that, the most important thing right now is this war." Zhou Lin showed no sign of slackening.

It is precisely because we know our own insignificance that we must constantly strive for progress.

I am but a humble mortal, yet my heart yearns for the sky.

This is the essence of the path of cultivation, not feeling that you cannot reach that level when you encounter a strong person.

……

A century quickly passed, and the excavation of the palace finally reached its final moment.

More than 700 god-kings had already arrived here ahead of time.
