Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 245 Endless Ancestor: Galactic Lord, I beg you to give me a chance to become stronger! (2.5k)

The Sacred Realm of the Nine Rivers.

"Galactic Lord, I think we need to discuss this. It's impossible for you to make us submit."

"We'd rather be trapped here than be controlled by you!"

"Yes, we have the 'initial' protection; don't even think about making us submit."

The inside of one of Luo Feng’s divine bodies.

His avatar descended, gazing upon the absolutely spherical body of 'Initial,' which possessed what was known as the most advanced defense in the Chaos Origin Space.

This gave those ancestors a lot of confidence.

"It seems this big ball has given you a lot of confidence!" Luo Feng said casually, waving his hand.

The energy within the entire Source World rapidly changed and was quickly emptied, completely isolating the area from energy. There was no 'absorbable energy' in the air, let alone 'primordial energy'...

"how so……"

"It's over now."

He initially sensed that there was no energy left to replenish. Although he could maintain extremely low energy consumption, he would inevitably lose energy whenever Luo Feng attacked him and he was forced to defend.

If Luo Feng wanted to prolong the conflict, he only needed to cut off the energy supply to the ancestors and isolate himself from the world.
He would 'starve to death' in the first place.

That is, if there is a lack of energy to maintain its enormous divine body, there is only loss and no intake... then even if it is 'immortal and indestructible', it will be exhausted to death.

The First Ancestor quickly informed the other Ancestors within him about this. Upon learning of the situation, the other Ancestors were either terrified or fearful... They all understood that they were no longer just trapped.

But there was a real risk to their lives.

"We need to think about how to deal with the current situation." The Endless Ancestor also panicked. He had not yet reached the level of immortality, and no matter how strong he was, he was useless against the Galactic Lord.

"Wait."

"Look at that Milky Way, what is he going to do?!"

Based on the initial image provided.

A group of ancestors looked outwards.

Luo Feng flipped his hand and took out a long sword, the very same long sword that had cleaved through their combined attack...

Cut it out with one knife.

Amidst the horror of those dozens of ancestors.

The 'initial' body was cleaved in two! The bodies of all the progenitors were then revealed...

The terrifying power suppressed and divided the progenitors one by one.

One after another, colossal progenitors manifested, but as they looked at Luo Feng, whose divine body had shrunk, they were all filled with fear and unease.

"Your surrender now is still useful to me, but if the deadline passes, you'll be doomed," Luo Feng said calmly.

"Choose to submit, or wait to die."

Just as Luo Feng finished speaking.

A sharp sound rang out.

"We will never submit!"

A colossal ancestor roared angrily.

Luo Feng glanced over, confirmed who it was, and then unleashed a terrifying river of sword energy, instantly annihilating the target completely... leaving not a trace.

A cold voice rang out:

"What did I think it was?"

"An ordinary ancestor's mastery of the Dao is nothing special, equivalent to a lord-level puppet."

"It makes no difference whether you stay or not."

Many of the ancestors of Hunyuan were shocked.

An ancestor.

Instantly annihilated
The difference in strength between the progenitors was vast, but it often required a combined effort and a long, drawn-out battle before one or two might die, or a single person could annihilate them with a single blow...

The remaining dozens of ancestors were dumbfounded.

All that was heard was Luo Feng speaking:
"Now, you should be able to take a good look at the list."

"Submitting to me has its advantages."

Luo Feng planned to show them the reward list. He could completely control the amount of resources that could be exchanged in the treasure vault, which would also limit the strength of the innate Primordial Ancestor. Moreover, Luo Feng needed them to become stronger.

Come help him complete the 'Hunyuan Core - Evolution Diagram'.

Just as Luo Feng finished speaking.

A group of ancestors were still discussing submission via telepathy, assuming that Luo Feng couldn't hear them at all. However, in reality, this place was a world unto itself, and Luo Feng could hear everything clearly...

They discussed: "No matter what the benefits, I will never submit, I would rather die than..." The Ancestor of Annihilation was unwilling, but he would certainly not agree to be a slave for the rest of his life without any hope.

The Boundless Ancestor also said, "Yes, we are born powerful. These enlightened beings should be our food. It was our oversight that they rose to power. How could we possibly submit to them? If we are asked to submit and lose our freedom, then I would rather die!"

Luo Feng and Chen Qi found the conversation amusing; these ancestors probably all thought that Luo Feng wanted to refine their life cores.

To control their lives and deaths.

But in reality, what Luo Feng did was meaningless.

He could capture these progenitors at any time; they posed no threat whatsoever, so whether or not he refined their life cores was irrelevant.

Even without controlling their life core, you can still control their life and death!

of course.

If you're willing to let him refine the life core and control it, you can naturally offer him more generous resources and benefits...

"Regarding surrender."

"All you need to do is help me complete one 'scroll,' and I will grant you a chance to be free and cooperate with me, without requiring me to refine your life cores."

"After all, for me..."

"Refining your life cores would be pointless."

“In this vast primordial space, I can also control your life and death.”

As Luo Feng spoke, four more figures instantly appeared around him, all of them him, each exuding a terrifying aura, completely his main combat clones...

Five divine bodies?

One by one, the progenitors were dumbfounded. Could there really be five divine bodies of this caliber in this galaxy?

"Actually, I have nine such divine bodies in total." Since it is a deterrent, and Luo Feng also has countless weak clones, he is already invincible in the vast primordial space.

I heard that Luo Feng doesn't require them to refine their life cores.

Many people relaxed a bit, but considering that Luo Feng already had the ability to kill them, they probably couldn't prevent it no matter where they hid.

seem
It seems to really be meaningless.

Luo Feng unfolded a list and said:

"Look everyone, this is a list of treasures that you can exchange for."

"With me, as long as you work hard, you'll have everything... treasures you can't even imagine!"

A list of items was drawn up.

Most of the ancestors looked at the messages and quickly read them.

The Endless Ancestor, the Primordial Ancestor, the Annihilation Ancestor, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor… and many other powerful ancestors gazed at those treasures with longing, but they refused to believe the truth…

Luo Feng simply waved his hand.

A large number of treasures appeared before them, dispelling their doubts.

"There's no need to worry about whether it's real or fake."

"Furthermore, as you have seen, some of the most precious treasures not only require contributions, but also a sufficient amount of resources."

"loyalty!"

"If you want to demonstrate your loyalty, the simplest way is naturally to let my people refine your life cores..."

Luo Feng remained calm. He and Chen Qi had long anticipated that these ancestors would not cooperate, but he was quite certain of the allure of these treasures.

Refuse to submit?
That's impossible!
Immediately, several weak ancestors gritted their teeth and agreed to submit, even willing to have their life cores refined and their lives controlled.

They had considered this from the beginning.

Among the dozens of ancestors, there was always someone who felt that simply surviving was more important than anything else.

There are quite a few who are willing to have their life core refined in order to gain a better future.

Those powerful ancestors were still hesitant and unsure whether they were willing to have their life cores refined. Their minds were quickly weighing the pros and cons, and they all felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Unless they didn't want to live, it seemed that whether they were willing to have their life cores refined or not made little difference as long as they wanted to live.

The Endless Ancestor was also pondering.

Even if his life core isn't refined today and he's 'free,' this Galactic Lord's strength is already unparalleled in the Chaotic Origin Space. He can easily annihilate any Ancestor. Moreover, he only cultivated for a thousand epochs after reaching the Lord level. So, what about in the longer term?
Normally, it would definitely undergo some transformation!

and also
How did he acquire all these treasures?

Those powerful ancestors seemed to feel that they were, after all, among the top experts in the Chaos Origin Space... it seemed a bit beneath them to willingly have their life cores refined and their life and death controlled.

While those ancestors hesitated.

The Endless Ancestor was the first to agree:

"I am willing to submit, and I will even accept the refinement of your life core..."

"Galaxy Lord, please grant me a chance—a chance to become stronger—since I am the first of the Nine Emperors to submit!"
