Swallowing the Stars, Hu Yanbo's Pre-Godhood

As he re-entered the Meteorite Starship, starlight streamed through the portholes, illuminating his serene face.

The thrill of revenge has faded, replaced by a deeper tranquility and a deeper reflection on one's own path.

"Willpower!" Hu Yanbo murmured to himself. "Has my willpower, now strengthened through two transformations, already reached the level of 'Supreme'?"

A question arose in Hu Yanbo's mind.

He clearly sensed that his consciousness had become more agile and powerful due to this spiritual liberation and sublimation, and his control over the ethereal divine power was now more effortless and precise.

"Consciousness is the general of ethereal divine power, commanding divine power and conquering the outside world."

"Willpower is the commander of consciousness, residing at the center, stabilizing the universe!"

"Only a powerful combination of will and consciousness can unleash ten or even a hundred times the true power of ethereal divine power and soul techniques!"

Hu Yanbo could clearly feel that if he were to use "Lotus of the Void" again at this moment, its condensation speed, penetrating power, and annihilation effect on the soul's origin would definitely be a level higher than before!

This is a fundamental improvement, not simply a result of increased divine power.

"A strong body can be enhanced through secret techniques, treasures, and genetic transformation."

"A powerful soul can also be strengthened through secret techniques, treasures, and special inheritances."

"Only this transformation of will and consciousness... is truly mysterious."

Hu Yanbo fell into deep thought.

"It seems to rely more on inner experience, insights, and breakthroughs, and external factors can hardly help."

"Powerful treasures and secret techniques may temporarily amplify soul power, but they cannot directly enhance the essence of will."

Thinking of this, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

He remembered the origin of his soul, his homeland from his previous life—Blue Star.

"The ancient Chinese sages of the Blue Star where I traveled before also pursued 'enlightenment,' 'a childlike heart,' and 'harmony between man and nature.'"

"If those sages who embrace the universe and whose wisdom shines through the ages were to come to this world, would they also possess the unwavering and all-encompassing will of the people of this earth?"

"Can they also forge their own unique path to becoming powerful?"

"Probably too?" Hu Yanbo's lips curled into a strange smile, as if a warm current flowed through his heart.

"There is no reason why the Mountain-Sitting Guest would transform this place, endow it with collective spiritual potential, and create people with extraordinary minds like Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng."

"Yet many of the exceptional individuals on my home planet, China, are just ordinary people!"

Moreover, an even more unconventional, even somewhat mocking, thought uncontrollably popped into Huyanbo's mind:

"Speaking of which, does my home planet have some kind of secret 'interdimensional talent transfer program'?"

"To ensure that every transmigrator can have a good time in another world, they even thoughtfully made 'golden fingers' a standard feature and distributed them wholesale?"

This idea made Hu Yanbo laugh and shake his head, suppressing this nonsensical thought.

Regardless of the truth, it is a fact that he possesses the system, and it is also a fact that his spiritual realm has improved rapidly.

"On another note, isn't there an excellent litmus test right now to verify whether one's will has reached the Venerable level?"

A glint flashed in Hu Yanbo's eyes, and his consciousness instantly connected to the virtual universe network.

.....

Rumble! ...

The boundless black sea roared, and the inky waves surged into terrifying giant waves hundreds or even thousands of meters high.

Hu Yanbo's figure appeared out of thin air on the outermost cliff, dressed in black armor, standing with his hands behind his back.

The wind whipped at the corner of his clothes, but he remained unmoved.

"The Illusionary Sea..." Hu Yanbo murmured to himself.

"In the past, I never came because the points rewards were boring to me and my willpower did not significantly enhance the power of my soul attacks."

"But now, it's the perfect time to verify the results of this spiritual transformation!"

"Today, I will see whether my will truly reigns supreme!"

Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

Swish!

His figure instantly soared into the sky, transforming into a black streak of light that tore through the gale. Ignoring the towering waves and the oppressive feeling that pierced his soul, he charged directly into the depths of the Illusionary Sea with an almost tyrannical attitude!

The first island... the second... the third...

The tenth...the fifteenth...the twentieth!

The speed did not decrease in the slightest!

Islands representing different levels of will were instantly traversed and left behind! The illusionary attacks that would make even Kings and Immortals take their time were nothing to him!

The whole process was breathtakingly fast!

The first twenty islands failed to leave even the slightest trace on his will, and failed to make him pause for even a moment!

Finally, his figure crashed into the twenty-first island like a meteor!

The edge of the twenty-first island.

The power of the illusion here is already extremely strong; the invisible force of its will impacts like a tangible tsunami, constantly washing over everything.

An elderly man shrouded in a magnificent golden robe and covered in black scales sat cross-legged in meditation. He was the administrator who oversaw the entire Illusionary Sea.

suddenly!

boom--!!!

A violent, turbulent current of energy, which should never have appeared here, surged forth like a supernova explosion!

Whoosh—la la! ! !

The old man's magnificent golden robe was violently lifted by the shockwave brought by the sudden, pure speed, and pulled backward wildly, fluttering loudly, almost causing him to stagger!

"Um?!"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his usually calm face instantly filled with astonishment and disbelief! He even subconsciously released a wisp of divine power to stabilize himself.

"What is that?!"

"What went by?!"

His divine sense swept across the core control system of the Illusionary Sea at an unprecedented speed, checking the information of the figure that had just flashed by.

"Huyan Bo?!" The administrator looked at the data. "The new disciple that Emperor Yuan accepted?"

Then, looking in the direction where Huyan Bo had disappeared: "In the blink of an eye, he's broken through twenty levels of the Illusion Island?!"

He has lived for countless years and has seen too many geniuses venture into the Sea of ​​Illusions.

But he rarely acts so arrogantly, so unreasonably, and so as if he's rushing through the first twenty floors!

"This little monster!" the manager muttered to himself, his golden eyes gleaming with unprecedented curiosity and intense interest.

His gaze was fixed on Huyanbo, who had already begun his journey to the twenty-first island.

"The first twenty levels test the resilience and pressure resistance of a peak-level King-level will the most."

"And it is from this twenty-first level onwards that one truly begins the path to 'Venerable' level will!"

"Look at the surprises you've brought me, little one! If you can get past this twenty-first level..."

The manager didn't say anything more, but his eyes said it all.

Even if one fails to break through the twenty-first level of the Illusionary Sea during the King-Sealing stage, one cannot become a Universe Venerable even if one's understanding of the laws in the future fails.

With this strong will, there is a great chance that he will become invincible!

In the Illusionary Sea, Hu Yanbo was naturally unaware that the 'whirlwind' he stirred up as he passed by almost overturned the administrator.

On the twenty-first island, he slowly stopped, feeling the terrifying will and bizarre illusions surging from all directions, several times stronger than those on the previous islands.

The roar of the waves seemed to transform into the wails and curses of billions of living beings, and countless distorted phantoms tried to penetrate his sea of ​​consciousness and shake his mind.

Hu Yanbo closed his eyes slightly, carefully experiencing the sensation.

"Hmm!" A slow smile crept onto his lips. "Finally, I'm starting to feel something."

This feeling isn't pressure, but...excitement!

His will and consciousness were spontaneously accelerated due to the pressure of this powerful external will!

"Illusion? Curse? Wailing?" Hu Yanbo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze no longer calm, but burning with a cold flame that seemed capable of incinerating the void.

"A mere illusion dares to shake my mind?"

He was no longer merely passively enduring; he was acting on his own impulses!

hum!

A willpower far more domineering and pure than the impact of the illusion erupted from the deepest part of Huyanbo's soul, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber!

"break!"

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a cold, seemingly cosmic whisper, uttered from Huyanbo's mouth.

With that soft shout, an invisible black lotus petal phantom seemed to flash and disappear around him!

The distorted phantoms rushing in from all directions, the wails and curses of billions of living beings, the terrifying impact of will that could make even a peak-level immortal king tremble... the moment they came into contact with this invisible force field, it was as if they had encountered their nemesis!

Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~

It was as if ice and snow had met the blazing sun!

All illusions, all spiritual erosion and oppression, silently vanished into the most primordial nothingness before Huyanbo's even stronger will!

"The so-called 'supreme authority' of will is nothing more than this," Hu Yanbo commented indifferently.
