Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 126 Propagating Bloodlines, the Bridge to Heaven

Skipping over the next eight paintings, Lu Jin focused his attention on the first one, 'Gentle Breeze'.

The next moment, the profound artistic conception emanating from the Chaos Monument of the Ultimate Universe caused Lu Jin's consciousness to involuntarily immerse itself in it.

The nine wind blades in the first image of the Chaos Stele gave rise to endless artistic conceptions in Lu Jin's consciousness.

Each wind blade seemed to transform into a divine axe, and the nine divine axes continuously combined, unleashing wave after wave of terrifying, world-destroying power.

Moreover, it wasn't just the main body; the avatar of Shichen, who was still traveling countless light-years away from the Chaos City of the Initial Universe, was also immersed in it.

However, in the eyes of the Time Clone, those nine wind blades transformed into sword attacks imbued with the fundamental laws of time.

Observing the evolution of the wind blades, the Time Clone felt that the doubts he had about the second set of sword techniques in the Falling Moon Secret Manual were being eliminated one by one.

Time passed slowly, and seven days had passed in the primordial universe.

"Rumble--"

A deep rumble resounded as the bronze gate opened.

However, Lu Jin and the other 11 people who were studying the Chaos Stele of the Ultimate Universe in the secret chamber did not wake up.

"Everyone come out!"

The next moment, a voice reached everyone's ears.

The voice echoed in everyone's minds, like a demonic sound, as if a drill had been inserted into their heads, completely waking Lu Jin and the others up.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Suppressing their discomfort, the group hurriedly flew towards the door.

The moment I burst through the bronze gate, the terrifying demonic sound that had been echoing in my mind finally disappeared.

Shaking his head to dispel the last trace of discomfort, Lu Jin couldn't help but smile.

The flow of time in the initial universe and the primordial universe is different, with a difference of 3.28 times. The consciousness of the clone is connected with that of the original.

The main body spent seven days comprehending the Primordial Chaos Stele, while the avatar in the primordial universe not only comprehended the Primordial Chaos Stele in the same way, but also spent 23 days comprehending it.

Perhaps the comprehension effect of the Chaos Stele is extremely good, or perhaps the previous insights were not integrated into a complete system, and now a wave of accumulated knowledge has finally come out.

Several days ago, after mastering the first set of sword techniques from the "Falling Moon" manual and comprehending the profound mysteries of the first fundamental law of time.

The current avatar has mastered a second set of sword techniques and comprehended the profound mysteries of the second fundamental law of time.

"Lord Candry."

Lu Jin and the others bowed and greeted him.

"Ah."

Kandri nodded slightly and said, "This is your first time entering the cultivation chamber. I remind you that you should first find a place to stay, then enter the virtual universe and apply to enter the Bridge to Heaven plane."

As for what this bridge to heaven is, you'll understand once you go inside.

Okay, you can leave now.

Seeing this, Lu Jin and the others bowed again and left.

Also departing were the geniuses who were trying to comprehend the other Chaos Steles.

The time allotted for each comprehension session at the Chaos Stele is fixed; those who enter at the same time will naturally exit at the same time.

The main gate of the city lord's mansion.

"To be neighbors?"

Lu Jin held Ai Chen's little hand and asked Luo Feng.

"It's not necessary!"

Luo Feng refused outright.

Are you your neighbor?
Am I, Luo Feng, so hungry that I need to eat the dog food you guys are spewing?

"Okay then, let's get together again sometime."

Lu Jin nodded.

"Be careful not to cause any deaths."

After saying something meaningful, Luo Feng waved and left.

Upon hearing this, Ai Chen glanced at Lu Jin, her cheeks flushing and turning red.

They've reached adulthood, and it's time for them to reproduce.

Gently pinching Ai Chen's flushed cheeks, Lu Jin whispered in her ear, "I actually think it would be good if someone died."

Luo Laodeng knows nothing!
With my superior bloodline, if I were to have a child, it would be a cause for celebration, a momentous event worthy of being recorded in the history of humankind.

Of course, while peak bloodlines can reproduce, the difficulty of reproduction is not small.

If having children were so easy, the twelve top bloodlines of the Starry Sky Beasts and the Zerg wouldn't have such a small number of members.

"Hey~, let's hurry up and find a place to stay."

Ai Chen's cheeks turned even redder as she pulled Lu Jin toward the residential area.

Before long, the two arrived at a secluded area within Chaos City.

Standing in front of the three-story cultivation residence, Lu Jin placed his hand on the door.

"Drip-drip-"

A sound rang out, and the color of the gate changed from light white, representing no one living there, to dark gray, representing someone living there.

Immediately afterwards, an electronic voice sounded: "Welcome, Master."

Leading Ai Chen inside, Lu Jin saw a huge living room on the first floor, fully equipped. The electronic voice continued to sound: "Master, I am the residential service intelligence. You can give me any requests regarding your daily life."

"Give Ai Chen the second access permission."

After giving an instruction, Lu Jin led Ai Chen up to the second floor and then entered the World Ring.

A bridge to heaven?
No rush, there are more important things to do right now.

Inside the castle bedroom, Lu Jin took out a pink world ring that he had specially purchased through the Cosmic Galaxy Bank and put it on Ai Chen's left ring finger, saying, "From now on, you are mine."

"Hmph~, you're mine too!"

Ai Chen raised his head.

There's a saying on the virtual universe that goes something like this: a high-level hunter often appears as the prey.

Little Lu Jin, you've got to handle this!
"Since you said the wrong thing, I'm going to punish you."

Ai Chen stared greedily at Lu Jin.

"Then, Your Highness Aichen, how do you intend to punish your knight?"

"You lie down obediently, and I'll take care of the rest."

Lu Jin: "."

Something feels off!
Perhaps at the beginning, he was a hunter who took the initiative.

But as time went on, the prey awakened the soul of a high-level hunter, and its identity had quietly changed.

Tsk~ Oh well, the die is cast, it doesn't matter whether it's hunter or prey.

Soon, accompanied by a soft moan that sounded like a mix of joy and pain, Ai Chen underwent a transformation.

On this day, Lu Jin proved the correct purpose of Ai Chen's pink twin ponytails.

At this point, it was only a matter of time before the primordial human race reached its peak.

The next day.

Within the virtual universe, there is a special dimensional space.

Amidst the surging waves and endless ocean, lies a beautiful island.

On the edge of the island, there are 52 ports, each with a long bridge extending to the horizon.

"Swish!" "Swish!"

Suddenly, two fully armed figures appeared in the square in the center of the island.

These are Lu Jin and Ai Chen who have truly grown up.

The two looked around at their surroundings when a man wearing a black star-patterned robe, with four ears and no nose, approached them: "Hello, Lu Jin and Ai Chen, I am Baffin, the guardian of the Tongtian Bridge plane."

"Lord Guardian."

Lu Jin and his companion bowed respectfully.

Baffin nodded and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you to this Skybridge dimension."
There are 52 bridges to the sky on the island, each corresponding to one of the 52 Chaos Steles.

What you are trying to comprehend is the Primordial Chaos Stele, and what you are trying to cross is naturally the 'Primordial Sky Bridge'.

The Ultimate Universe Bridge has 28 levels. Each level you clear grants you a chance to comprehend the Ultimate Universe Chaos Stele. There's no one inside the Ultimate Universe Bridge right now. Who wants to go first?

The Ultimate Universe Sky Bridge has 28 levels. Undoubtedly, the Ultimate Universe Chaos Stele was left behind by a cosmic master.

Of course, the number of levels of the Bridge to Heaven corresponding to the Chaos Stele is not really that important; what matters is which level of the Bridge to Heaven you can reach.

The two exchanged a glance, and Ai Chen said, "I'll go first."

"Whoosh!"

After saying that, Ai Chen flew towards the Cosmic Sky Bridge that stretched all the way to the horizon.

Three minutes later, Baffin shook his head.

Sure enough, the four members of this year's Primal Secret Realm team—one superstar, two strong, and just there to make up the numbers—are no joke.

Undoubtedly, Ai Chen, who was merely there to make up the numbers, failed to pass the first level of the Extreme Universe Sky Bridge.

Then, Baffin turned to Lu Jin and said, "Lu Jin, it's your turn. I'm looking forward to your performance."

Ai Chen, who was just there to make up the numbers, didn't even pass the first level. Bo Lan passed the second level of the Cosmic Bridge, and Luo Feng passed the second level of the Nine Universe Bridge.

I wonder how many levels of the Ultimate Universe Sky Bridge Lu Jin, the strongest among them, can pass through?
"Whoosh!"

Nodding slightly, Lu Jin stepped onto the Hunyuan Shuttle and transformed into a stream of light, flying towards the Extreme Universe Sky Bridge.

After Lu Jin flew to the Tongtian Bridge of the Extreme Universe, Baffin sent the news that Lu Jin had begun to attempt to cross the bridge to the Nine Swords Venerable.

Before Lu Jin and the others had even chosen the Chaos Stele, the Nine Swords Venerable had already informed him in advance, telling him to notify him immediately when Lu Jin came to challenge the Heavenly Bridge.

Furthermore, it is forbidden to send Lu Jin's progress information to others.

However, Baffin then edited another email and sent it to another powerful figure.

Furthermore, in the email, Baffin also mentioned that the Nine Swords Master might be considering taking on disciples.

'Venerable One, Venerable One, please don't blame me.'

It's not that Baffin is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, disobeying your orders; it's just that this person has higher authority than you, and I have no choice but to obey his commands!

After sending the email, Baffin thought to himself.

The Bridge to Heaven stretches to the ends of the earth, shrouded in a misty white fog, with the sea roaring below.

As soon as Lu Jin stepped onto the Extreme Universe Sky Bridge, Fatty's voice rang in his mind: "Master, I have received an email. It is the points reward rules from the Virtual Universe Company."

Passing through the first level of the Sky Bridge rewards you with 100 points, the second level with 200 points, the third level with 400 points, and so on.

Starting from the second level, the points reward for each level you clear is double that of the previous level.

Master, the email also said that the Virtual Universe Company has special reward rules for newcomers to Chaos City.

During the 30-year newcomer period in Chaos City, the points reward for clearing the Sky Bridge will be ten times the original amount.

"I see."

Even if Fatty didn't say it, Lu Jin knew about this rule and didn't care about it at all.

Compared to the more than 600 million points in my pocket, the mere ten times the reward points for completing the level are just a drop in the ocean.
