Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 310 The Legacy of the God King of Jin

Qi Yuan's will was already close to the limit of a Void True God. In addition, he had mastered the trick of combining the True and Void Realms with the secret technique of will to weaken and offset the impact of will. Although the next part of the journey was still difficult, it was unlikely to pose any real obstacle to him.

Moreover, as they progressed and the impact on their will intensified, the subsequent content of "The Secret Technique of the Divine Eye" also appeared at a faster pace.

As he progressed, the contents of Volume Eight of the "Divine Eye Secret Technique" soon began to emerge. Shortly after, Volume Nine also appeared.
"boom!"

After receiving the entire information from Volume Nine, the surrounding dark void trembled slightly.

In an instant, time and space shifted; the stone steps beneath their feet and the surrounding dark void rapidly receded.
Qi Yuan appeared in a quiet, square courtyard. The courtyard walls were decorated with ancient carvings, reflecting the unique civilization style of the Jin world.

"Hmm? Where am I?"

Qi Yuan looked around curiously.

"come in."

A voice came from the quiet dwelling ahead.

"That sound? Could this be...?"

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately proceeded along the ancient, solemn, and quiet road.

A moment later, after turning a corner, a door came into view. The door was open at that moment.

Qi Yuan's gaze easily passed through the open door, revealing a series of randomly placed mechanical parts, weapon components, and so on.

As he approached, he could see that in the main hall behind the door, a man dressed in a magnificent royal robe was intently looking at some different mechanical parts beside him.

The man in the magnificent royal robe turned his head, looked at Qi Yuan, and couldn't help but smile: "Since you're here, please have a seat."

In front of it, there was indeed an exquisite black throne.

Qi Yuan didn't say much and went straight forward to sit down.

Knowing the original plot, he easily guessed the identity of the man in front of him.
This is the God-King who created the entire Jin world, and also the previous incarnation of the Mountain-Sitting Guest from the primordial universe—the God-King of Jin!
Of course, the real God-King of Jin had long since perished and reincarnated as the Mountain-Sitting Guest of the Primordial Universe. What is before us is merely a wisp of illusory consciousness left behind by the God-King of Jin.

"You are not the life of my Jinzhi world."

The man in the magnificent royal robe looked at Qi Yuan, his eyes filled with unwavering certainty.

"I knew it!"

Although Qi Yuan was certain that there was a very high probability that the other party would not attack him, he still couldn't help but feel a chill upon hearing those words.

However, he remained calm: "May I ask who you are, senior? And what does it mean that I am not a being of this world?"

"Ha ha."

The man in the magnificent royal robes smiled, a very happy smile.

"No need to be wary, no need to worry," the man in the magnificent royal robes said with a smile. "I'll explain it to you in detail, and you'll understand."

"Please speak, senior." Qi Yuan adopted a listening posture.

"I am the God-King of this Jin world."

The man in the magnificent royal robes spoke up, "Of course, to be more precise, I am merely a virtual consciousness left behind by the God King of Jin."

"At the beginning."

A hint of reminiscence flickered in the eyes of the man in the magnificent royal robe. "It was a long, long time ago. I chose a path that was almost certain to lead to my death, so before I set off, I made some preparations. First, I created Wuqi Tower in the Jin World, and second, I left behind the title of Lord of Laws. In this way, even if I failed, I might still have a chance to turn things around."

"I left."

"But a virtual consciousness remains here. This virtual consciousness possesses my memories and thoughts, but it cannot be considered a true life."

"Of course—I am this virtual consciousness, and subconsciously I still believe that I am the God King."

Qi Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

After all, the virtual consciousness possesses all the memories and thoughts of that 'God King of Jin'.

"I don't know what dangers the God-King went through after he left. After all, I can't contact him."

The man in the magnificent royal robes sighed, "It was only through my understanding of the world of Jin that I learned one day that the God-King had fallen."

"The Wuqi Tower has nine floors. The ninth floor can be connected to the core of the universe's origin in the entire Jin world."

The man in the magnificent royal robe said, "I often travel to the core of the Jin world's origin. With the fall of the God King, the core of the Jin world's origin has naturally undergone great changes."

The man in the magnificent royal robe looked at Qi Yuan: "Furthermore, the reason I'm certain you're not a life form of my Jin world is because—"

"When you entered this ninth level, the core of the universe that this ninth level is connected to did not recognize you."

The magnificent royal-robed man who claimed to be the virtual consciousness of the God-King of Jin said, "If you are a being within the world of Jin, then you are a child of this world of Jin, and will naturally be recognized. Moreover, you will be extremely loyal to the God-King and willing to die for him."

This is not difficult to understand.

Just like the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the beings created by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds are also absolutely loyal to the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The same principle applies. All life within the Jin world is absolutely loyal to His Majesty the God-King. The four commanders are no exception; if the God-King gives the order to die, they will not hesitate.

"Oh? Since you already know, why haven't you acted immediately? What do you want me to do?" Qi Yuan asked, feigning wariness.

At the same time, he was prepared to self-destruct immediately if anything went wrong. Although based on the plot of the original work, he guessed that there was a high probability that the other party would not attack him, he could not completely let his guard down.

After all, this is a powerful consciousness left behind by a God-King expert, and it's in the Wuqi Tower. If the other party really has malicious intentions towards me, and I can't react in time, I might really die here.

"You don't need to be nervous."

The virtual consciousness of the God-King of Jin chuckled softly, “I set up many tests, naturally not to kill you, a mere Law Lord. My physical body perished, the entire Jin Kingdom was completely destroyed, leaving only the world of Jin to struggle to survive. If I miss you, I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to find such a suitable candidate again.”

"All you need to do is make a vow."

The man in the magnificent royal robes said solemnly, "When I become a God-King in the future, I must do my best to kill the other three peak beings."

"it is as expected"

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly, but his face remained calm and composed.

"Wait until I become a god-king or a similarly powerful being?"

He feigned a sigh and said, "I... I am only a Lord of Laws right now."

“So you don’t need to worry.” The man in the magnificent royal robe shook his head and said, “It’s too far away for you right now, and you can’t help me with the world of Jin at all. This is just a promise you made after you become a God-King.”

"Don't worry, once you agree, you will naturally benefit. If you refuse, even if you choose to self-destruct, I can annihilate your soul the moment you self-destruct. I know that many beings from outside the Jin world have the ability to create clones."

The man in the magnificent royal robe looked at Qi Yuan: "Make your choice, will you accept me or refuse me?"

Qi Yuan smiled helplessly upon hearing this: "Do I have a choice?"

He had no doubt about what the other party said.

After all, it was a method left behind by a god-king. Even though Qi Yuan had some trump cards, he couldn't be sure that he could really withstand the opponent's soul-annihilating method.

Moreover, this oath is to be made after becoming a God-King, and Qi Yuan still has a very long way to go before reaching that realm.

……

"I need to confirm the truth of your oath, after all, I am merely a virtual consciousness, and I cannot be deceived by you."

The man in the magnificent royal robe laughed, then pointed to the surroundings. Instantly, patterns of laws began to appear in the air around them, and in a flash, the area was trapped in a huge cage made of patterns of laws.

"boom!"

A hazy blue light enveloped Qiyuan.

"Only then can I know all the changes in your soul."

The man in the magnificent royal robes laughed, "If you're faking it, I'll know immediately. Fine, I'll pass on a soul oath to you. Use your soul to invoke it and swear an oath!"

As he spoke, a stream of light flew from his fingertips and instantly entered Qi Yuan's brow. A strange method of swearing an oath of the soul instantly appeared in Qi Yuan's consciousness.

Ancient civilizations naturally had many vows that were deeply ingrained in the soul. Once broken, the soul would be scattered and the person would die beyond death. Qi Yuan, having obtained a massive amount of inheritance from the Ten Directions Sect, was naturally familiar with this special method.

However, the Jin God King's only request was for him to deal with those three mortal enemies with all his might after he had enough strength. This was not an overly demanding requirement, so Qi Yuan had nothing to worry about.

"I swear by the supreme rules that if I ever possess the strength of a God-King, I will..."

Qi Yuan directly communicated with some kind of invisible force through his soul and made a soul oath as required by the God King of Jin.

As soon as the oath was made, Qi Yuan instantly felt an invisible constraint on his soul, but this constraint was extremely weak and would not have any effect on him at the moment.

Moreover, in the very next instant, an unexpected system notification sounded in Qi Yuan's mind—

[Interference detected with the host's soul. Block it?]

"Even this kind of oath-like constraint can be blocked by the system?"

Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised.

In this way, wouldn't he be able to resist almost all methods of soul control and interference by relying on the system's functions?

"Hahaha"

At this moment, the virtual consciousness left behind by the God King of Jin had already sensed Qi Yuan's spiritual transformation through the law array. The moment the oath was established, the God King of Jin's consciousness couldn't help but laugh heartily!
After endless years of waiting, even his physical body had perished, leaving only his virtual consciousness trapped in the world of Jin. During this long wait, he had almost given up hope.

After all, his only remaining obsession is to kill the great enemy that destroyed the Jin Kingdom's power. He has no other choice but to hope to cultivate a powerful successor who far surpasses himself.

With his own body perished, how difficult and uncertain would it be to cultivate a peerless figure who surpassed his original self in the Jin world, which was almost like a cage?
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to have such an outstanding successor unexpectedly delivered to me!

With life genes reaching over 90,000 times, the divine body can be sized at will, with a near-infinite volume. In the world where the ancient civilization existed, this was an incredibly heaven-defying talent!
Completing all 10081 basic puzzles of the Rhinoceros King's Formation signifies that his comprehension has also reached the highest level!
Then, on this final Path of Self-Examination, he climbed all the way to the top and obtained the inheritance of all nine volumes of "Divine Eye Secret Technique," which shows that he was also extremely powerful in terms of willpower!

With his talent, comprehension, and willpower all at the top level, such a peerless genius would definitely attract countless powerful forces to compete for him in the world he lived in!
Now, this extraordinary genius is going to become his successor. How could he not be excited and overjoyed!

"Hahaha, the oath has been fulfilled, and you are now the inheritor of my Jin Dynasty lineage. Now, prepare to receive the many benefits I have left for you!"
