Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 320 Miniature Universe, Changes in the Golden Auspicious Clouds
In the world of Jin, Qi Yuan's Shangqing avatar temporarily entrusted Luo Feng with the world ring containing his many treasures for safekeeping, while his entire divine body quickly transformed into wisps of unclaimed divine power and dissipated into the world.

In the primordial universe, in Qi Yuan's divine kingdom.

Wow~
As golden light shone, an incomparably majestic figure stepped out from the golden auspicious clouds above the divine kingdom.

It was a towering figure that reached a height of 12 light-years, the newly re-formed Shangqing clone.

Beside the Shangqing clone stood three equally colossal figures. Before the Shangqing clone returned, Qi Yuan's main body and the other two clones had also absorbed the boundless divine power from the three golden auspicious clouds, pushing their divine bodies to their limits.

"In the original novel, Luo Feng's Nether Sea Avatar could only reach a diameter of 12 light-years, while my divine bodies could only reach a height of 12 light-years. Is this also a limitation of the rules?"

Qi Yuan was slightly curious.

However, he didn't think much of it. Instead, he stood high in the sky, gazing at his endless divine kingdom.

The vast divine kingdom has grasslands, seas, and mountains. It is magnificent and beautiful.

"My divine kingdom has long since reached its limit."

"Once the expansion begins, it will quickly evolve into a miniature universe. My divine power has reached its limit and can no longer be absorbed, so let's begin!"

Qi Yuan was somewhat excited. It had only taken him ten thousand years to cultivate to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

However, from the time he was the Lord of the Universe until now, when he was about to break through to become a true god, more than ten thousand epochs had passed, and this does not include the time he spent cultivating in the time-related treasures!
From an ordinary stellar-level native at the beginning of his transmigration, he has cultivated to the point where he is about to become a powerful true god who is likely to be the first in the universe to break through to the level of a perfect divine body with a factor of 100,000. What a long period of time this has been, what a tremendous transformation it has been, how could he not be excited and amazed!
"let's start!"

With a single thought from Qi Yuan, the vast divine kingdom began to expand with a thunderous roar.

The original boundaries of the divine realm expanded outwards once again—

This expansion immediately triggered a violent reaction.

"boom!"

The entire divine kingdom trembled, and a void passage was immediately opened, directly connecting to the divine kingdom.

At one end of this void passage of unknown origin, endless chaotic energy surged forth. As soon as the dense chaotic energy rushed in, it tore apart the earth, shattered the ocean, and everything was broken, returning to chaos.

With a massive supply of chaotic energy, the divine kingdom began to expand wildly!
"boom!"

As the divine kingdom expanded, another void passage was born, and even more chaotic energy surged in.

It resembled a scene of world destruction.

Qi Yuan stood in the center of the divine kingdom, looking around. One after another, void passages were born, surging with endless chaotic air currents, causing chaotic vortexes to form throughout the divine kingdom, which continued to expand.

Expanding.

The divine kingdom itself is still constantly moving. The divine kingdom itself is in the 'space interlayer'. Beyond the space interlayer is the original cosmic membrane. Passing through the membrane is entering the cosmic sea!

At this moment, the divine kingdom is constantly 'floating' and moving!

Expanding from a divine realm to a miniature universe requires absorbing endless chaotic energy, a process that takes time.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

"It's almost a hundred million light-years away."

"A diameter of one hundred million light-years, all the small universes of true gods are like this."

Qi Yuan stood amidst the endless chaotic currents, eagerly anticipating sensing his divine kingdom.

The diameter of the small universe of the Void God ranges from one billion light-years to ten billion light-years.

But the true gods are all one hundred million light-years away.

Because at the beginning of their existence, they are all the same. The small universe is just born. After it expands and takes shape, the internal structure of the small universe is immediately constructed. When it breaks through to become a Void True God in the future, the internal structure of this small universe and the strength of the True God will affect the size of the Void True God's small universe.

And at the very moment when the diameter expands to one hundred million light-years.

"Peng~~"

The entire Kingdom of God suddenly shook.

The original divine kingdom's barriers have been transformed into a cosmic membrane, and the vast divine kingdom has become a colossal celestial body with a diameter of one hundred million light-years.

But this small universe, with a diameter of one hundred million light-years, continues to expand.

“Normally, all true gods’ miniature universes are of the same size, each one hundred million light-years in diameter. But my miniature universe is still expanding, which must be the special feature of a perfect divine body that is ten thousand times larger!”

Based on the situation when Luo Feng broke through in the original work, Qi Yuan immediately understood the reason for this change.

The expansion of the divine kingdom is inherently most closely related to the divine body!
The path of divine power involves first breaking through the divine body, allowing the divine kingdom to expand further.

Of course, those who follow the path of divine power, whether it's 30,000 times, 60,000 times, or 90,000 times, all have a small universe with a diameter of 100 million light-years.

However, Qi Yuan has now broken through this constraint.

This is one of the special changes brought about by a perfect divine body at a level of 100,000 times!

"Boom~~~"

As the diameter of the miniature universe continues to expand, its volume is also increasing dramatically. Although the speed at which the miniature universe absorbs chaotic energy is also increasing, the rapid expansion of its volume requires an increasingly terrifying amount of chaotic energy, which has caused the expansion speed of the miniature universe to appear somewhat slow.

However, this slowness is only relative to the initial rapid expansion; the expansion of the entire miniature universe is actually not slow at all!
Diameters of 200 million light-years, 300 million light-years, 400 million light-years
……

Qi Yuan's miniature universe continues to expand steadily.

Meanwhile, the various races of the primordial universe and even the cosmic sea, who were startled by the endless golden light, had been eagerly anticipating it!

The shocking scene of endless golden light instantly traversing all space and time, directly imprinting a magnificent figure in the consciousness of countless beings, is still vivid in my mind.

Such a shocking scene had long attracted the attention of all forces and powerful beings in the primordial universe and the cosmic sea.

Moreover, when Qi Yuan began his breakthrough, he had already sent a message to his disciples Su Ai and others, so they already knew that Qi Yuan had begun to evolve a small universe. Normally, evolving a small universe shouldn't take long, but it's been half a year, so why is there still no news?

"Why has the breakthrough of the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion taken so long?"

"A miniature universe. Why hasn't a miniature universe appeared yet?"

Many powerful beings from the human race and even various races in the cosmic sea had long been waiting for the area outside the membrane of the primordial universe, corresponding to the original territory of the human race, to witness the birth of a new miniature universe.

"What exactly happened to the Master of the Strange Fate Pavilion after that shocking scene?"

"Before breaking through, the Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion was already capable of fighting against the most powerful True Gods. Once he successfully breaks through, his strength will skyrocket, and he might become invincible in the entire universe?"

Why isn't this over yet?

Countless powerful figures watched anxiously and waited.

However, when Qi Yuan broke through to become a true god, his divine kingdom evolved into a miniature universe, and the origin of the miniature universe began to be born. Moreover, during its expansion, it was aided by the will of the origin and propelled by the supreme rules. No one could influence or contact Qi Yuan.

When a breakthrough occurs, it is absolutely protected.

No one could interrupt the opponent's breakthrough.

……

The various races of the cosmic sea were anxious.

Qi Yuan, within his own miniature universe, sensed the continuous expansion of the entire miniature universe.

Finally, one day, the entire miniature universe abruptly stopped expanding and everything took shape.

At the same time, an irresistible force acted on the miniature universe, causing the miniature universe, which was already touching the membrane of the primordial universe, to be like a glass ball that had been ejected.

boom!
The entire miniature universe burst forth from the primordial universe, like a fish entering the ocean or a bird soaring into the sky. This miniature universe finally entered the vast ocean of the universe!

This miniature universe was exactly one billion light-years in diameter, not a fraction more or less. When it was blasted out of the primordial universe, a massive hole over one billion light-years in diameter naturally appeared in the membrane of that primordial universe. The miniature universe rolled and spun, crushing the surrounding chaotic air currents into a surging frenzy. What immense power was behind the blasting out of such a colossal object?
Boom~~~~
A violent tremor occurred, and the vibration spread outwards.

……

Since Qi Yuan caused billions of races in the primordial universe to kneel in worship, he has attracted the attention of various races in the cosmic sea.

The powerful beings of various races in the Cosmic Sea had long been distributed outside the cosmic membrane corresponding to the early human territory, with hundreds of cosmic lords scattered and guarding the area.

At that moment, as this enormous 'miniature universe' with a diameter of one billion light-years rolled into the cosmic sea, it was immediately discovered by the large number of powerful beings who were lying in wait!
One by one, figures moved closer to the direction from which the fluctuations originated.

"It's a miniature universe."

"so big."

"Such a large miniature universe... Is this really the miniature universe of a newly breakthrough true god?"

"It's so close to the membrane of the primordial universe, it must have just emerged. Look, it's still rolling, it must have just been repelled."

"My God, how could it be so big!"

How big must it be?

It was so enormous, and with the chaotic currents surging, that it was impossible to see clearly, and even visual estimation was inaccurate. Immediately, one after another, they teleported around this miniature universe to determine its size.

"This newly discovered miniature universe is one billion light-years in diameter!"

Wow, a billion light-years!

“The miniature universes of other True Gods are all 100 million light-years long, the Purple Moon Holy Land universe is 21 billion light-years long, and the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe is 32 billion light-years long. But those two Holy Land Ancestors have long since transcended reincarnation and reached a higher level, so their miniature universes can be that large. This Master of the Wonderful Fate Pavilion has only just broken through to True God, yet his miniature universe is already this large!”

One shock after another.

It was shocking, but also acceptable.

In their minds, the magnificent scene before, with endless golden light illuminating all of space and time, caused billions of races (including true gods) in the primordial universe to kneel in worship. It was not surprising that such a powerful force produced a miracle.

……

The news quickly spread throughout the entire universe and among all races.

"To become a true god, with a small universe a billion light-years in diameter? Incredible, how did he do it?"

"The fact that a true god possesses such a large miniature universe is unprecedented in the ancient civilization of the Jin world. It is unbelievable, truly unbelievable."

"The human race has the Giant Axe, the Galactic Lord who inherited the legacy of the Broken East River, and this even more extraordinary Lord of the Pavilion. It seems that the Cosmic Sea will inevitably give birth to a sacred universe belonging to humanity in the future, and it is very likely that there will be more than one!"

"During the True God era, a small universe already reached a diameter of one billion light-years. That's defying the heavens, absolutely defying the heavens!"

"The Human Wonderland Master was already on par with the Giant Axe Founder and the First True Lord of the Divine Eye Clan. Now that he has successfully broken through and his strength has increased rapidly, he can probably be called the strongest person in the Cosmic Sea now!"

……

The various races of the cosmic sea were shocked and filled with disbelief.

Of course, compared to them, the primitive human race in the universe only felt endless jubilation and excitement!
The breakthrough in the existence of one's own race is naturally a joyous occasion that should cause the entire race to rejoice!
Especially Qi Yuan's personal disciples, as well as the founder of the Giant Axe, the Lord of Chaos City, Luo Feng, and other acquaintances, were all extremely excited.

Even the Primordial Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim in amazement upon hearing this news: "It's incredible that a True God's miniature universe can reach such a level! Truly incredible!"

Despite the uproar and jubilation outside, no one could contact Qi Yuan.

Because he is currently in his own miniature universe.

Small universe.

Qi Yuanyao looked around. The void passages had disappeared, and the entire miniature universe was filled with endless, powerful chaotic energy.

"The expansion of the universe has reached its limit."

"The next step is to merge the clones into one, return to the origin, and become the original body, as well as the origin and structure of the universe." Qi Yuan held his breath.

The next few steps are completed in succession.

And the cosmological framework is the most important step!
The internal structure of a miniature universe must be set up at the very beginning, before everything is finalized. Once the chaotic energy begins to transform into the ten fundamental laws of time, space, etc., there will be no more opportunity to set up the structure.

Every super strong person only has one chance to build a structure in their long life.

This architecture.

First, it determines the future prospects of the evolution of small universes.

Second, it determines the origin of the microcosm!
Third, it determines the limits that the strong can reach.

This most basic structure is like laying the foundation when building a skyscraper. If the foundation is not laid well, you will not be able to build a skyscraper.

If this cosmic framework is not properly developed, the gradual evolution of smaller universes in the future will also have its limits, such as reaching the 'Eternal True God Stage' and being unable to break through.

No matter how high your level of understanding is, if your miniature universe doesn't evolve and improve, you'll never be able to break through.

How can we take this step lightly?

……

Qi Yuan stood amidst the endless chaotic currents, yet his gaze easily penetrated every part of his own miniature universe.

"Reunite the two parts into one, return to the origin!"

Qi Yuan immediately shouted.

The sound resounded throughout the entire miniature universe.

boom!
A powerful force immediately acted on Qi Yuan's main body and his three towering clones.

In an instant, these four majestic divine bodies were all moved to a mysterious space, which was the 'small universe origin'. However, at this moment, the universe origin was also in a state of chaos and had not yet fully taken shape.

This origin can only be fully formed once the structure of the universe is finalized.

"These three auspicious clouds have also come to the origin of this miniature universe."

Qi Yuan glanced with slight surprise at the three golden auspicious clouds that had appeared here along with his several divine bodies.

This is a wondrous existence that automatically evolved when I obtained the innate secret technique 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'.

His Three Pure Ones clones were born within these three golden auspicious clouds. Moreover, these golden auspicious clouds can absorb and store almost endless divine power. Once the Three Pure Ones clones perish, they can be reborn within these three auspicious clouds in an instant. This can be considered one of Qi Yuan's most powerful trump cards!

"After breaking through to become a true god, everything returns to its original state, and all innate secret techniques will be taken back. I guess this golden auspicious cloud will disappear soon."

Qi Yuan withdrew his gaze and focused back on himself.

"Disintegrate!"

With a thought, his several clones instantly shattered, and all the treasures floated to one side. In the center of the overwhelming divine power transformed from these shattered clones was a 'heart', which was the heart of the true god.

The heart of the true God is the most important part of the true God's body.

The soul resides within, and also communicates with its own microcosmic origin.

If the origin of a small universe is transformed and stored into a large amount of divine power, it can be directly transmitted to the heart of a true god.

Once the heart of the true God is broken, then the true God is finished.

At this stage, all that is needed is to use the heart of the true god as the core, gather all divine power, fuse and evolve into the flesh and blood body of the true god, and the step of returning to the origin will be completed.

However, to Qi Yuan's surprise, at the moment he followed some mysterious force and caused all his clones to disintegrate into pure divine power, the three golden auspicious clouds floating in this space also silently disintegrated.
