Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 361 Reappearance of Bloodline Evolution

Light and dark stars don't actually distinguish between day and night.

Because the stars are relatively far away, the daytime light here is only a faint reddish glow, and the light is very weak.

Needless to say, at night it's pitch black, but that's nothing to a stellar-level powerhouse.

Gallon sped through the streets.

Soon, they arrived at the outside of a simple house.

it's here.

The call from his body grew stronger, as if something he desperately longed for was ahead of him.

He suppressed his physical discomfort, quietly approached, and peered inside.

Upon seeing the scene inside, Galen was stunned. There was only an elderly man with white hair in the room. The old man was sitting at a dilapidated dining table, drinking wine from a wine glass, with a broken oil lamp lit by him.

This old man... seems to be just an ordinary person...

It's not that there are no ordinary people below the planetary level living on Light and Dark Star; it's just that the environment here is harsh, and ordinary people live a difficult life, looking incredibly old even in their fifties or sixties.

Despite being only a teenager, Galen is much older than most people on the planet.

"What is it that makes my summoning feel so strong?"

Galen looked at the old man.

The old man was just an ordinary person, and he was drunk at the moment. If we could grab him and interrogate him, we might be able to find out the answer.

However, the thought only flashed through his mind before Galen suppressed it.

If he does that, how is he any different from the Red Tail Clan?
“An ordinary old man… poses no threat to me whatsoever. I can wait until he has rested before I go in to search.”

Gallon is waiting.

The old man inside didn't keep him waiting long. After drinking a few sips of baijiu, he slumped onto the table, completely drunk.

Galen then slipped into the house.

The room wasn't large, only a few dozen square meters. Galen's mental power swept through it, and he searched the entire room.

"No! How could there be no!"

Galen was getting anxious.

Inside the house, he found nothing, but his senses told him that the thing should be there.

But... why can't I find it?

Galen searched again, afraid he might have missed something, but the moment he turned his head, he felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead and a sense of horror filled his entire body.

The white-haired old man who had been drunk just moments before now sat up straight and stared directly at him.

However, his mental energy was completely unaware of it.

"you……"

Galen's voice trembled slightly.

I felt a bit scared, and also a bit embarrassed, like being caught red-handed stealing.

What are you looking for?

An old voice sounded.

Galen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the other party's voice. He was genuinely afraid of encountering something terrifying, as terrifying legends often circulated on the Star of Light and Darkness.

Although he doesn't usually believe in these things, not believing doesn't mean he's not afraid. Just like someone who's afraid of snakes will stay far away even if they know it's a non-venomous snake.

He is, after all, just a child over a hundred years old.

"What I am looking for, you should know, sir."

Galen answered cautiously.

"Oh, so it sensed the summons..." The old man raised his hand, and a blood-red bead floated in his palm.

Looking at this blood-red bead.

Galen opened his eyes wide. Although he didn't know what it was, he was certain that it must be something extremely important to him.

"It should be this, but I can't give it to you." Lu Qingshan shook his head.

Galen suppressed his desire and said, "This thing must be extremely precious; Galen dares not even dream of it."

"Your name is Galen? Not bad. You were able to restrain your desires and not rob me when you saw an old man like me who is powerless. This shows that you still have a bit of kindness in your heart. You have passed my test."

Lu Qingshan chuckled.

"Although I will not bestow this treasure upon you, I can give you an opportunity to become my disciple. As my disciple, you will gain a precious opportunity and be able to immediately improve your strength. You seem to have encountered some trouble. After becoming my disciple, all troubles will cease to be troubles."

After saying that, he looked at the other person with a smile.

"My lord, after obtaining that opportunity, what level will I be able to advance to?"

Galen asked cautiously.

He was only at the stellar level, with limited vision, and did not know what kind of existence the old man in front of him was.

What level do you want to advance to?

Lu Qingshan countered with a question.

"If I can break through to the cosmic level, I am willing to become your disciple and serve you by your side forever," Galen said cautiously.

"Cosmic level, that's a bit low... Don't worry, after you get that precious opportunity, your strength will definitely be stronger than cosmic level. Now you can relax."

Upon hearing this, Galen did not hesitate any longer, immediately knelt down on the ground, and said, "Disciple Galen greets Master."

"Alright, since you've accepted me as your master, I'll grant you this opportunity."

Galen looked up.

A red light burst forth from the blood-red orb, quickly enveloping him completely.

Comfortable……

so comfy!

As crimson energy seeped into his body, Galen felt an unparalleled sense of comfort in every cell. At the same time, his body quietly began to change.

His skin, which was already very fair due to lack of sunlight, became even whiter, and fine white hairs grew out of his body.

A green light appeared in his originally black pupils.

My head is very itchy, it seems like horns are about to grow.

The process was so comfortable that all the changes were completed silently.

After a long while, the sensation in my body gradually faded away.

Only then was Galen able to control his body.

"My power."

Galen was stunned.

He could clearly feel the explosive power within his body, as if a casual punch could destroy everything.

This power is on a completely different level compared to before.

I've broken through to the cosmic level?
Do not!
No!

A purple light appeared; this was a domain...

Galen naturally knew what a domain was. It was an ability that one had to master to become a domain lord. Possessing a domain gave one the opportunity to become a domain lord, which was the realm of the Light and Dark Star Lord.

"Teacher... what's wrong with me..."

Galen looked in the direction of his teacher, his mind filled with countless questions.

He couldn't even comprehend his current level of strength!
"I have activated the hidden power of your bloodline. You have now become a different kind of life. You can take a look at yourself."

Galen was startled. He sensed the change in himself, but he didn't know what it was like... He turned to look at the window, where his image was vaguely reflected.

Galen was shocked; he hadn't expected to become so ugly.

It has a dark brown horn on its head, with mysterious patterns on it. Its body has grown much taller, probably more than three meters tall, and its whole body is covered with very short white down.

In particular, those eyes were glowing with a green light, which looked terrifying.

The territory of the Prison Clan is vast, containing all sorts of strange and wonderful life forms, but he has never seen anything like himself.

"What have I transformed into?"

Galen didn't care about changing his appearance or becoming ugly. As long as his mother and sister still recognized him, it didn't matter. Only strength was the most important thing.

"The One-Horned Ghost King is an extremely rare and special life form in the primordial universe, with a genetic level 50 times higher. You should be able to sense that you possess some special abilities. You should change your appearance; if you go out like this, you'll soon be captured and possessed..."

"Seize the body!"

Galen's expression changed slightly. He knew what possession meant, of course. In the territory of the Prison Clan, some geniuses without strong backing could easily be possessed.

Especially those races with special talents and abilities have a very high probability of being possessed.

50 times the genetic level... Although Galen couldn't understand it, he knew it was incredibly exaggerated.

He carefully observed the changes in his body and discovered that he possessed an innate ability to disguise himself.

Soon, his body shrank considerably, and the horn on his head retracted, returning him to his previous form as Galen, though subtle changes were still visible.

After all, he had just activated his bloodline and was not yet proficient in many abilities.

“Your current level is probably at the Domain Lord level, and the energy in your body is also at the Domain Lord level, and it is at the Domain Lord level with 50 times the genetic level. Logically speaking, an ordinary Domain Lord should not be your opponent, but you can’t be careless... because you are currently unable to exert your full strength. It would be good if you could exert even 10% of it.”

"I have some secret techniques here, which are the core inheritances of the One-Horned Demon King clan. You must not lose them... These can help you quickly improve your strength, and perhaps in the near future, you will be able to become an immortal god."

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan took out a world ring.

"Immortal God!"

Galen reached out and took the ring, his heart filled with disbelief.

An immortal god... The strongest being in the entire Red Tail Tribe is an immortal god.

The Red Tail Tribe possesses countless planets as their territories, and their Light and Dark Star is just one of them.

"The storage space I gave you is a world ring, where living people can survive... Alright, it's been three days, you should leave now."

"Remember, never reveal your identity as the One-Horned Demon King before you become an immortal god."

After giving a final reminder, Lu Qingshan waved his hand, extinguished the oil lamp, and disappeared from the room.

"Three days!"

Galen was startled by these words and immediately ran home. The young lady of the Red-Tailed Clan had only given him three days; if she found him missing after three days, then…

……

……

"You grant your disciple Galen the opportunity to 'activate his bloodline,' and you will receive a hundredfold return. You will also achieve bloodline evolution."

After Galen left, Lu Qingshan returned to the Blood Nether Palace in the starry sky.

He never expected that being granted the opportunity to 'activate his bloodline' would also bring him a cashback, albeit only a hundredfold.

After all, when he took on his disciple, Galen was only a third-rate genius, and even at the star level, he had not yet mastered the domain.

After using the only remaining chance of the Netherworld Heart, Galen evolved into a second-tier genius, and the return on his investment remained the same as before, so it was a hundredfold. However, the secret technique he bestowed upon the One-Horned Ghost King clan was still on cooldown and did not yield any return.

"I wonder to what extent this bloodline evolution can reach?"

Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

A crimson light quietly emerged, enveloping his divine body like a crimson silkworm cocoon.

During this process, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the changes in his body.

The innate fundamental law runes seem to be even more perfect now.

Having mastered the complete fundamental laws of time, Lu Qingshan could naturally see the changes in his innate secret techniques.

The secret runes that originally belonged to time acceleration underwent some strange changes during his bloodline evolution, making them appear even more perfect and flawless, just like the complete time rune diagram that appeared after he comprehended the laws of time.

The change of time acceleration is only one aspect; more importantly, it is the change of the ultimate secret technique of the One-Horned Demon King, the time cycle!
