Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 319 Breakthrough, True God

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The golden light emanating from Qi Yuan's divine body was completely unrestricted by any rules, its speed comparable to teleportation. It instantly illuminated the entire divine kingdom, breaking through the barriers of the divine kingdom and the obstruction of the endless spatial layers, sweeping across the entire Lanting Universe Kingdom in an instant. The golden light spread rapidly and silently, transcending time and space.
Everything is unhindered.

Wow!
Billions of golden rays pierced through human territory and illuminated the desolate borderlands inhabited by the remnants of various races such as the Zerg, the Machines, and the Demons, as well as some of the most desolate and darkest areas of the entire primordial universe where no life existed.

At this moment, even the primordial will could not affect or shake the majesty of this golden light.

Wow!
Billions of golden rays finally pierced through the membrane of the entire primordial universe and surged into the endless chaotic cosmic sea...

At this moment, Qi Yuan was the center of the entire primordial universe.

Billions of rays of light emanated from him, illuminating the entire primordial universe and spreading beyond it.

The golden light that cannot be hindered by any substance, the golden light that transcends time and space, shines into the eyes of every living being, and even enters the soul of every living being.

In their souls, a golden figure clearly appeared, and they could clearly see the appearance of that figure.

The Myriad Paths Academy's influence extends throughout the entire human realm and the endless starry sky.

As the founder of the Myriad Paths Academy, a great being who is implicitly known as the 'Teacher of Humanity', and one of the strongest beings in the Cosmic Sea, Qi Yuan's name and appearance naturally spread throughout the entire Primordial Universe and even the Cosmic Sea.

At that moment, as the golden light illuminated all of space and time, countless beings naturally recognized it.

Even those innocent toddlers and infants, though they do not know the name of this golden figure, will forever remember his appearance. Even if they forget their childhood memories as they grow up, they will never forget that golden figure!
"It's the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion!"

"The magnificent and extraordinary Lord of the Pavilion!"

"It's the Palace Master of the Academy!"

"teacher"

Each and every living being was deeply shaken. When the golden light shone upon them, they felt an overwhelming sense of majesty, naturally giving them the urge to prostrate themselves in worship.

Even some cosmic lords and true gods were enveloped in golden light, which directly penetrated their life imprints, and the golden figure emerged in their souls.

That is the respect that comes from the depths of the soul. It is the fundamental gap in life levels, which makes the beings at lower life levels kneel down involuntarily.

No living being, whether the weakest ordinary person or the highest true god, could surpass him. Even the true gods couldn't help but kneel down. They weren't kneeling to Qi Yuan, but rather it was an instinct of their life essence to show respect for the birth of the greatest life!
Golden light shines, illuminating billions of light-years, illuminating the entire primordial universe.

No one can stop it.

Even the primordial will of the universe had to temporarily retreat at this moment, because this was the most supreme rule governing the operation of the cosmic sea. This supreme rule enveloped the golden light, and it was precisely because the golden light contained the supreme rule that it transcended the barriers of time and space, and the limitations of matter.

Only then will all life kneel down.

Whether kind or vicious, weak or strong, whether Qi Yuan's enemies or relatives.

The lives of the disciples of Giant Axe, Chaos, Peng Gong, and Qi Yuan, as well as the remaining forces of the Ancestral God Sect, including the Ancestral Gods, the Insect Clan, and the Demon Clan.
Countless beings throughout the primordial universe knelt down, moved from the depths of their souls. It was not a coercion by a higher being upon a lower one, but a sign of reverence for the birth of the greatest life under the supreme rules.

Billions of races, countless planets, countless divine kingdoms, countless cosmic secret realms.
Flesh and blood life, mechanical life, plant life, energy life. All kinds of life.
From the weakest to the strongest...

They all knelt, prostrated, and made other respectful gestures, showing respect from the very source of life.

……

Gradually, the golden light that had spread across billions of light-years dissipated, and the supreme rules no longer affected billions of lives. The original will of the primordial universe once again enveloped the entire universe.

Throughout the entire primordial universe, countless races, whether weak or strong, could no longer see the golden light of the past. They all awoke, but the image of that radiant golden light was forever imprinted in their souls and the core of their lives.

A group of powerful beings from the Ancestral God Sect gathered in the Ancestral God Palace.

"Incredible, really incredible!"

The two ancestral gods on the main throne were both horrified. "We are ancestral gods, favored by the primordial will, yet even we had to kneel before that golden light that traversed time and space."

"This is absolutely outrageous! How could this happen!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, who had gained considerable fortune and greatly increased his strength in the Jin world, exclaimed, "The human race's territory is countless light-years away from my ancestral mysterious realm, yet it can still make us kneel down uncontrollably."

"Incredible."

"Unheard of!"

The high-ranking members of the Ancestral God Cult gathered here were all incredulous.

"Such an exaggerated and unbelievable commotion," said the elderly Ancestral God. "If I'm not mistaken, it must be that the Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion is beginning his breakthrough to become a True God!"

"Such a commotion, with the entire primordial universe kneeling in submission, must indicate an extremely special breakthrough."

"Yes, he's definitely starting to break through! That Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion once directly defeated that True God of Awakening, forcing him to flee in a sorry state. Now, tens of thousands of epochs have passed, and with the blessings of the Jin World, his strength must be growing stronger. It's time for him to become a True God!"

"But just what kind of powerful opportunity did this Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion obtain? He has already gained such power at the very beginning of his breakthrough!"

Without exception, all the powerful beings of the Ancestral God Sect believed that Qi Yuan had begun to become a true god.

The reason for saying "beginning to become a true god" is that becoming a true god is a process. First, the divine kingdom must expand into a small universe before the divine body can undergo a fundamental breakthrough, which naturally takes some time.

However, they all found it difficult to understand why the other party's breakthrough would cause such a commotion.

……

"How exactly did the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion become a true god? The commotion was so great that billions of races throughout the entire primordial universe knelt in submission..."

"Even the legendary path of divine power, the ancient civilization I saw in the world of Jin did not record anything about becoming a true god through the path of divine power."

"Yes, regardless of whether it's the path of laws or the path of divine power, this kind of scene has never been recorded before."

Some of the stronger members of the human race were also making their own guesses.

They were all wondering what had happened to the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion that would cause such a commotion. They had never heard of anything like it before!

"With the extraordinary talent of the Lord of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion, if he wanted to become a true god, he could have done so tens of thousands of years ago. The fact that he has been delaying until now must mean that he is taking an extremely difficult path!" True God Peng Gong, together with the founder of the giant axe and the Lord of Chaos City, still had an expression of great shock in his eyes.

"The Master of the Wonderful Affinity Pavilion only spent a little over 100,000 years to possess combat power comparable to a true god, but now he has delayed for tens of thousands of epochs before finally breaking through. This shows that the difficulty of his cultivation path is absolutely beyond imagination."

Peng Gong, the True God, exclaimed, "However, this also means that once he succeeds, he will be incredibly powerful! His breakthrough is now shaking the entire primordial universe, causing billions of races to kneel in worship, including True Gods. This is proof!"

"Yes, it's unimaginable. Even when the Primordial Ancestor broke through, there wasn't such a commotion!"

"Not just the Primordial Ancestor. In the history of the Cosmic Sea, there seems to be no record of this before. This is absolutely unprecedented!"

"Qi Yuan's current strength must be incredibly profound; even I can't see through him at all," the founder of the giant axe exclaimed.

"Fortunately, he belongs to my human race! This is a blessing for my human race!" The Chaos City Lord smiled faintly.

"Haha, that's right! With Qi Yuan here, whether it's the cataclysm of the World Beasts or transcending reincarnation, our human race has hope! This is indeed a great blessing for our human race!"

"A fortunate event, a very fortunate event."

Within humanity, Qi Yuan had long been revered as the supreme being. The commotion of his breakthrough was so great that it shook the very soul, even causing the true gods to kneel in submission. Other races might have felt some envy, but humanity itself was incredibly excited and thrilled.
Because this is a great being of their race, and since he has achieved great things, they naturally receive endless benefits as well.

If Qi Yuan transcends reincarnation in the future, then the entire human race will also exist eternally!

……

Billions of races in the primordial universe discussed this extensively, including ordinary life forms on countless planets.

They didn't know Qi Yuan, but his golden figure was unforgettable, etched into the core of every living being's life.

There is a small universe not far from the original universe. It is the small universe of the mountain guest.

The mountain dweller, looking rather disheveled, plopped down on the summit of one of the continuous mountain ranges, a hint of relief on his face.

"Almost."

"Almost," the mountain dweller shook his head thankfully, "I almost had to kneel down too!"

Just now, as endless golden light shone down, the Mountain-Sitting Guest was carving a rock in his palace. Suddenly enveloped in the golden light, the Mountain-Sitting Guest's expression changed drastically. With boundless willpower, he immediately fled to the 'Cosmic Passage'. His palace was located in a Cosmic Passage that connected to his own miniature universe.

Struggling to survive, they escaped into the cosmic passage and returned to their own miniature universe.

"What happened?"

The mountain dweller frowned in confusion. He was enveloped in golden light, which instantly left a radiant golden image on his soul. He naturally recognized that this was the human race's Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion, who was even more amazing than his carefully cultivated disciple.

"What exactly happened? How could there be such a huge commotion? Even a true god like me would probably be unable to resist and would kneel down directly! Even I, if I stayed a little longer, would probably have to submit."

The mountain dweller frowned. "That golden light doesn't contain the will of origin, but the supreme rule!"

The Mountain-Sitting Guest is not afraid of the original will at all.

The primordial will possesses the ability to think, but it poses no threat in itself.

The supreme rule is different.

Those are the rules governing the entire universe. Why did the primordial universe constantly perish and be reborn? Why did world beasts come into being? Why must true gods, who live for a maximum of three reincarnations, undergo reincarnation? All of this is the rule! The supreme rule has no thought; it is simply the rule.

Yet, it is also supreme.

What secrets does this owner of the Qiyuan Pavilion hold?

The mountain dweller was filled with astonishment and doubt. "Even in the world of ancient civilizations, I have never heard of such an incredible thing. At least, to my knowledge, I have never heard of it."

"How could such a being be born? According to the investigation of his past information, his background is not particularly unique, yet he is even more amazing than my carefully nurtured disciples who have had many opportunities."

"Judging from his previous performance, he could have broken through to the True God realm long ago, but he has delayed for so long. I estimate that he is probably following the path of divine power. Moreover, he must have great goals and ambitions, wanting to reach the third level of the path of divine power! But even the third level of the path of divine power should not cause such a commotion, with even the Supreme Rule descending to congratulate him!"

The person sitting on the mountain could tell.

This is a way to celebrate Qi Yuan's achievements. Because Qi Yuan's achievements this time have reached an incredible level, the supreme rules have descended to congratulate him, and even caused hundreds of millions of races to kneel down and offer their congratulations.

Even with his insight, he still couldn't see through what had happened to Qi Yuan.

……

Within the vast divine kingdom of Qi Yuan, the territory of humankind.

All the golden light dissipated.

Qi Yuan has returned to normal.

"That feeling just now was so wonderful! Was that what it felt like to experience the supreme rules up close?!"

In that instant, he seemed to see everything in the primordial universe, countless hidden places, and countless creatures prostrating and kneeling before him.

He soon stopped thinking about it.

"My genetic level of life."

Qi Yuanlian carefully felt the results of this breakthrough. He clenched his fist, and his divine power surged. This immediately brought joy to his face. At his level, his control over power was so precise that he naturally knew exactly what level he had reached!

"One hundred thousand times!"

"The perfect divine body has actually been achieved! And it took much less time than I expected!"

Qi Yuan quietly felt the boundless power being born within his body. Now, every inch of his flesh and blood, every drop of his blood, had reached an incomparably perfect state, and his life structure was now exactly the same as that perfect life structure diagram!
"Haha, in the original story, only Luo Feng, the chosen one of destiny, was able to achieve this, but now I've done it first! It's exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan was laughing with exceptional joy!

In his view, the two most important foundational stages for cultivators are the World Lord level and the Universe Lord level. The stronger the foundation laid in these two stages, the greater the power gained after breaking through!
Especially at the level of the Lord of the Universe, as the last stage before returning to one's origin and becoming the one true god, if a solid foundation can be laid, then the achievements in the future will naturally be even greater!
The truly perfect divine body at the genetic level of 100,000 times is the limit that can be pursued and reached at this stage!
In other words, once he reaches this point, he will have no regrets about breaking through to the True God realm!
"It's time to break through!"
