Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 179 A Change in Fortune

In the primordial universe, the core of Lin Yi's palace was now enveloped in an indescribable, dazzling light.

Lin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, a smile that seemed to emanate from the depths of his soul. This smile wasn't merely due to humanity's eventual stabilization of their position in the fierce final battle, but also to the ocean of spoils before him—a sight that would drive any cosmic overlord mad!

Twelve thousand!

A total of twelve thousand corpses of cosmic venerables, each with a different shape and emanating terrifying residual fluctuations of laws, were piled up like towering mountains of corpses by an invisible hand!

There was the massive remains of a descendant of a demon god, its scales shattered, still retaining the aura of savage blood; there was the intricate and complex core of a Venerable-level machine from the Mechanical Race, sparks dancing across its severed nerve nodes; there were the scattered remains of a massive Zerg warrior's carapace and its core, flowing with viscous venom, from the shattered Zerg hive—

They stand like monumental trophies on a cosmic scale, silently recounting the glorious achievements of this "hunting feast" that swept across the primordial universe, orchestrated by Lin Yi!

"Over six thousand pieces of spoils were exchanged for powerful figures from various races—and we also netted over six thousand Four-Pattern Reversal Pills!"

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, as if he were looking at an inexhaustible treasure.

These six thousand-plus precious pills, enough to drive even a cosmic venerable being mad, will become the core foundation for him to cultivate Earth's future geniuses and powerhouses! This harvest is enough to overturn the very foundation of a powerful clan!

However, what stirred his heart even more was the torrent of fortune deep within his soul, like the bursting of the cosmic mother river!

Buzz!

The innate treasure "Map of Mountains and Rivers" suspended at the core of the soul trembled slightly, and chaotic runes flowed on the scroll! An invisible and boundless power of fortune was crossing the endless void, ignoring any obstacles, and continuously converging towards Lin Yi through the pull of the scroll!

[Gaining the respect of the Nine Swords Venerable, and receiving 10000 points of luck!]

[Gaining the respect of the Fiery Venerable, and receiving 15000 points of luck!]

[Gaining the respect of the barbarian overlord, and receiving 10000 points of luck!]

[Gaining the respect of the Undying Venerable, and receiving 10000 points of luck!]

[Gaining the respect of the Witch Ancestor Overlord, and receiving 10000 points of luck!]

[Gaining the respect of the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, and receiving 100 million units of luck!]

[Gaining the respect of the Lord of the Wasteland, and receiving 200 million units of luck!]

Lines of icy yet scalding notifications, like a cosmic waterfall of light, frantically flooded my mind!

That was the recognition, gratitude, awe, and even—the immense destiny that he had accumulated to establish his supreme position in this battle—from countless powerful figures within the human realm!

The vast pool of fortune, originally worth over 6200 million, was now being infused with the very essence of the starry sea, and the numbers were skyrocketing at a terrifying rate of millions every second!

7500万————8000万——800万——9000万最终，那庞大到足以让宇宙之主都心惊肉跳的数字—1亿！

Just like a galaxy that has rushed to its limit, it slowly comes to a stop!

"I'm numb—I've really hit the jackpot!" Lin Yi took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented fullness and excitement deep in his soul.

He is undoubtedly the true, unparalleled biggest winner behind this earth-shattering war that swept through the primordial universe!

In this great battle, it can be said that the cosmic lords and overlords of billions of races are all working for him.

Some are contributing their fortune, while others are contributing the corpses that form the main ingredient for the elixir of immortality.

Just then, the virtual universe system sent a formally formatted email:

[Lin Yi, the Overlord: In three days, humanity will hold a victory banquet at Mount Gods to celebrate our race's great achievement in successfully resisting the joint invasion of three alien races! Please be sure to attend on time.]

"A victory celebration, huh—" Lin Yi's smile deepened. "It's time for a proper celebration! For the heroic spirits who fought and bled for our human race—and for us—this hard-won respite!"

"However, before that—" Lin Yi's lips curled into a near-fanatical smile known only to himself, "it's time for a big lottery draw!"

My thoughts sank into the vast and boundless core of my soul!

That pool of luck, which carries destiny and fortune, is exuding an unparalleled allure!

1 million luck!

An astonishing number that Lin Yi had never imagined.

"The only downside is—this gacha system—" Lin Yi's thoughts swept over the gacha rules, a hint of "helpless" excitement in his voice, "The maximum is only ten pulls! Each pull consumes 1000 Luck—"

This 1 million luck points require him to perform 10 ten-pulls of card draws!

"The workload is quite heavy!" Lin Yi sighed happily.

"Gacha Draw - Begin!!!"

Lin Yi's thoughts sank into the gacha pool, which was filled with a misty aura!

Buzz—! ! !

A ray of light suddenly rose from the core of the card pool, swirling and flowing, and as before, 10 cards surged out.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

The [Map of Mountains and Rivers] that lay deep within Lin Yi's soul suddenly emitted waves of Daoist energy, enveloping Lin Yi.

Suppressing destiny!

Blessed by good fortune!

At the same time, the core cards in the card pool... *whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!*

Ten dazzling cards, like a galaxy ignited, were instantly ejected from the boiling light!

Three vibrant green leaves!

3 deep, clear blue images!

Three images of Zixia shrouded in mist!

as well as----

One card—a card that flows with a pure, starry silver light!

"Um?!!!"

Lin Yi's mind trembled! It instantly froze on the silver card that floated at the top of the card galaxy, exuding an indescribable aura of nobility and mystery!

The card was cast from liquid mithril, its surface covered with fine, silvery shards that seemed to contain the traces of the birth and death of stars! A vast Daoist aura, surpassing ordinary treasures and pointing directly to the fundamental laws, silently spread out, making the three purple cards pale in comparison!

"As expected! My intuition was right!" Lin Yi thought to himself with secret joy!

"This 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' — not only can passively suppress and stabilize the fortune —"

"Furthermore—it can actively catalyze and elevate my own level of fortune!"

"It directly propelled my luck to a whole new level!"

Memories from the past flooded back like a tide:

He draws cards alone, and his best ten-pull is only one purple card that barely reaches the threshold of becoming a Venerable. Most of the time, he gets blue, green, and white cards.

Even with Xu Xingyue, the "lucky star," by your side, a single ten-pull can only guarantee one purple or orange card, which is already the limit.

And now?

Just one 10-pull!

3 purple and 1 silver!

This is no longer a simple increase in probability!

This is a dimensional leap at the level of destiny!

"Is this the innate treasure—the eternal stabilization of the nation—containing the power of defying fate?" Even though Lin Yi had already guessed, experiencing this revolutionary result firsthand still gave him a tremendous shock from the depths of his soul!
