Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

All these clashes of thoughts, weighing options, and even the final advance payment were completed in an instant within the consciousness of the immortal deity, who possessed the ability to process billions of thoughts.

However, the subsequent complete absorption and integration of the profound understanding of the laws will still take some time.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lord Kandri, the white-robed, three-eyed elder who guarded the Chaos Monument and witnessed the rise of countless geniuses.

After Hu Yanbo walked out of the bronze gate, he stood still in place, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep meditation. He stood there for several minutes.

"Is this an epiphany?" Kandri asked curiously.

He was knowledgeable and experienced, and knew what the word "enlightenment" meant for billions of living beings in the universe.

This is a state that cannot be achieved by simply accumulating resources or engaging in arduous practice. Rather, it is a profound resonance with the origin of the universe that arises after one's understanding of the laws has accumulated to a certain degree.

Every epiphany signifies a leap in understanding the essence of the laws, a great opportunity that countless powerful individuals dream of but cannot obtain.

Just then, an immortal deity walked from not far away and went straight to the bronze gate engraved with "Nine Universes", which was the location where Huyanbo was.

He was about to speak to Candri.

But then he saw that Candri's three eyes suddenly narrowed, without even turning his head to look at him.

An invisible force of spatial law descended silently, instantly sealing off the space around the immortal god. It not only completely blocked his speech but also froze him in place, unable to move an inch. Only his eyes revealed shock and confusion.

Hu Yanbo suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and countless spatial rifts seemed to appear and disappear within them, while his aura surged upwards!

At the same time, the surrounding cosmic energy seemed to be drawn by some absolute will, transforming into a visible energy vortex that surged wildly into his divine body.

This scene left Kandri, who was standing guard nearby, speechless with amazement.

He had guarded the Chaos Monument for countless years and had seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen such a bizarre situation.

Logically, anyone who observes the Chaos Stele will gain a wealth of insights into the laws that require time to process, digest, and absorb.

This is a gradual process that requires persistent effort; it cannot be accomplished overnight.

But this little guy, in the short time after leaving the secret room, actually gained a completely new understanding of the laws!

It directly triggered his life essence, causing his divine body to undergo a violent and rapid transformation uncontrollably, like a ferocious beast that had been starving for billions of years!

Feeling the surging divine power within his body and the energy rushing in from the outside world, Hu Yanbo realized that he had caused too much of a commotion.

With a thought, a powerful will instantly took over the divine body, and the surging energy gradually subsided.

Huyanbo then turned to face the guardian, Kandri, and bowed respectfully: "I just had an epiphany, thank you for protecting me, Lord Kandri."

Kandri waved his hand dismissively, his three eyes filled with a knowing and admiring smile, and asked, "It's alright. Good lad, what's your name? I remember, it's only been six hundred years since you first came to comprehend this Nine Universes Chaos Stele, isn't it?"

As a cosmic sovereign, Kandri possesses an incredibly vast and boundless memory. Anyone who has come to this Chaos Monument to comprehend it, their aura, appearance, and time are all within his grasp, and he would never forget them.

"Junior Huyanbo," Huyanbo said respectfully.

"Huyanbo! I've got it." Kandri nodded, a rare scrutiny in his three eyes.

For Kandri, a cosmic sovereign, to take the initiative to ask for his name is itself a very high form of recognition.

He has been sitting on the Chaos Stele for countless years, and has seen countless geniuses. Most of them are just fleeting passersby to him, leaving only a vague impression.

His memory was indeed vast and boundless, but he had no interest in remembering the names of every person who came to seek enlightenment.

After all, verifying permissions and opening secret rooms only requires checking the aura and the Tongtian Bridge achievement; the name is irrelevant.

Only those truly exceptionally talented children who display unbelievable potential will catch his eye, pique his interest, and prompt him to ask their names.

Clearly, Huyan Bo in front of us is one of them.

"It's common to gain insights after studying the Chaos Stele, but to break through twice in a short span of six hundred years like you is unheard of," Kander praised without reservation.

"You brat... you're truly a perfect match for this 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele'!"

"Senior, you flatter me. I was just fortunate enough to have some insights," Hu Yanbo said with a slight bow and a humble tone.

Just then, the immortal deity who had been sealed by the Kandri space was finally freed.

The moment his restraints were released, before he could even greet Kander, his gaze locked onto Huyanbo, his face filled with disbelief and horror, and he cried out:

"What?! Huyan Bo...you, you've broken through again?!"

This immortal deity is none other than the Marquis of Yan Chen, a high-ranking immortal who originated from the original secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company and harbored jealousy towards Hu Yanbo when he was fought over.

He had been cultivating in Chaos City for tens of thousands of years. He came here this time intending to use his last precious opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele before leaving, hoping to seek a slim chance of breakthrough.

But to my utter surprise, I witnessed such a scene!

Three hundred years ago, Hu Yanbo broke through to the high rank of Marquis and was fought over by five major forces.

In just three hundred years, this person has made another breakthrough.

As Yan Chenhou watched Hu Yanbo's divine body slowly absorbing energy, and then thought of his own tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation yet making no progress, an indescribable bitterness and envy instantly welled up in his heart, almost overwhelming him.

Candri took it all in, a knowing smile flashing in his three eyes, but he said nothing.

He had seen too many geniuses like Yan Chenhou who came from the core secret realm.

They are indeed exceptionally talented, but their privileged upbringing and constant attention have fostered a strong sense of arrogance. They tend to only acknowledge core companions at the same level, and harbor a subtle, almost imperceptible contempt for those who rise to power through their own battles.

At this moment, witnessing firsthand how Huyanbo, who was considered an "outsider," broke through one after another at such an unbelievable speed, making his own tens of thousands of years of hard work pale in comparison, the shock and blow brought about by this complete subversion of his perception was naturally extremely intense.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yanbo simply smiled and said nothing more, humbly bowing to Kandri again: "This junior will take his leave now."

Kandri's smile deepened as he looked at him and nodded, his tone casual yet carrying a rare expectation: "Go. Cultivate diligently, and when you break through to the King level one day, I'll treat you to a drink."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chenhou, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes in disbelief, his heart filled with an indescribable bitterness.

He had grown up in the Primal Secret Realm since the Genius Battle and had known Lord Kandri for countless years, yet he had never seen this esteemed guardian offer any genius a drink!

Even if there were any, probably only a few exceptional talents from the original secret realm who were the most amazing and eventually became kings or even stronger had ever received such an honor!

Could it be that in Lord Kandri's eyes, this Huyanbo... already possesses the potential to rival those others?!
