Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 187 Mysterious Ideas!

Lin Yi's thoughts "saw":

A tiny blade shadow exuding an aura of sharp metal destruction, its hilt gleaming with sharpness, was firmly tied to the edge of a round shield phantom that flowed with a curtain of extremely soft water by an incredibly resilient thread of will!

Metal overcomes Wood, and Water overcomes Fire—this is a conflict of universal laws!

However, in the structure of the Qianbao River, the sharpness representing "metal" did not attempt to destroy the flexibility of "water"; the gentleness representing "water" did not melt away the sharpness of "metal"!

The thread of will that connects them is like the most precise cosmic tuner!

It guided the sharpness of the golden blade, piercing the "eye of the abyss" at the very core of the water curtain. Far from provoking conflict, it caused the water curtain's rotation to accelerate dramatically, forming an even deeper defensive vortex! The immense pressure generated deep within the vortex was then transmitted back through the threads to the hilt, tempering its sharpness into something even more refined and restrained! The sharpness, bound by flexibility, became even stronger! The flexibility, stimulated by the sharpness, became even more resilient!

This is just one of the pairs!

Looking at the entire "star map":

A blazing fire orb and a frost-covered icicle that freezes everything are linked together by silk threads to form a terrifying ice and fire millstone!

The massive seal, heavy as a mountain, is cleverly linked with the nimble shuttle, perfectly transforming speed and power!

A spirit vine imbued with the essence of life entwines around a bone scythe that exudes an aura of death and decay, blurring and intertwining the boundaries between life and death at the level of laws!

Each individual treasure, when disassembled, might only be equivalent to a top-tier treasure, and would have more or less flaws:

That sword was unparalleled in attack but weak in defense;

That shield was incredibly defensive, yet it couldn't be moved;

That fireball unleashed terrifying power, but it couldn't last long.

That icicle, freezing everything yet so fragile—

however!

In this Thousand Treasures River, through the threads of law condensed by the supreme will of the Chaos City Lord, they are no longer isolated individuals!

They were forcibly embedded into the most precise cosmic gears! Their respective flaws became the "catalysts" or "outlets" for the unleashing of each other's power! The weakness of one treasure was perfectly compensated for by the characteristics of another! The power of one treasure was precisely guided and amplified by another!

Thousands of fragments of treasures, each with a different shape and conflicting laws, were like shattered pieces of a cosmic puzzle. However, the Lord of Chaos City, with his wisdom and power, found an unconventional and near-perfect way to couple them together, forcibly piecing them back together!

This not only did not weaken the power of a single item, but also, through the energy circuit formed by the threads of will, resonated, superimposed, and amplified the energy, laws, and characteristics of thousands of treasures like a cosmic symphony!

Ultimately, quantitative change triggered a terrifying qualitative change!

"With just a thought—"

Lin Yi subconsciously followed the trajectory of will flowing in the "star map" and gently touched one of the will threads that ran through the core area.

"Buzz—!!!"

The entire dark blue robe instantly burst forth with an indescribable dazzling light!

Those thousands of miniature treasure phantoms seemed to be ignited instantly! They no longer flowed slowly, but transformed into torrents of laws that pierced through the void!

Blade light tears through space! A curtain of water sweeps across the starry sky! Flames scorch the heavens! Frost freezes time and space! A colossal seal descends like a mountain! A flying shuttle pierces through dimensions! Spiritual vines entwine the laws! A bone scythe harvests energy—

All attacks, defenses, restraints, and interference—guided by the threads of will—are no longer chaotic!

They instantly coalesced! Merged!

Above Lin Yi's divine kingdom, a stream—composed of pure laws and the power of supreme treasures—had suddenly formed, flowing endlessly.

A dazzling Milky Way that contains countless changes!

Within the Milky Way, countless treasures rise and fall! A perfect blend of offense and defense! Its immense power far surpasses any single top-tier treasure! It even faintly touches upon the threshold of a supreme treasure!

The entire process was seamless and natural! Power arose instantly from the thought! There was not the slightest stagnation! Not a trace of energy loss!

It's as if these thousands of treasures were originally a single, flawless whole!

Lin Yi slowly withdrew his thoughts, and the dazzling celestial river also subsided, transforming back into ancient robes and falling back into his palm. The divine kingdom returned to peace, but his heart was filled with indescribable shock and tremor, as if he had just witnessed the creation of the universe!

"Exquisite—truly—absolutely exquisite!"

He stroked the patterns on his clothes that seemed to contain the heartbeat of the universe and exclaimed in admiration.

"The solidification of willpower into threads—this is already an unparalleled secret technique!"

"To understand every single secret pattern of thousands of treasures, to exhaustively comprehend their inherent laws and characteristics—what level of profound insight into the very origin of the universe would that require?"

"The most difficult! The most incredible—"

Lin Yi's gaze pierced through the clothes, as if he could see the scene that the Lord of Chaos City had spent countless years deducing: "It's about finding that one path—the only one that can transform countless conflicts into harmony and piece together countless fragments into a perfect picture!"

"Let conflicting attributes complement each other! Let flaws become the foundation of enhancement! Let the energy of all individuals, under the command of will, form a treasure scroll woven with interwoven will."

"This is no longer simply weapon crafting."

He looked down at the unremarkable dark blue robe in his palm, his eyes no longer showing any contempt, but only deep admiration for the wisdom and immense power of the Chaos City Lord!

The value of the Thousand Treasures River itself was nothing in Lin Yi's eyes, who possessed endless cards.

However, the concept and secret method of refining the "composite treasure" contained within it are exceptionally precious.

"I want to create my own 'Wanbaohe,' but there are two challenges."

"First, my current will is only at the level of an ordinary universe master. Only when I reach the level of a fourth-order universe master can I condense basic will threads."

"Secondly, I need to spend a huge amount of energy and time to understand the secret patterns of each treasure, and then study how to combine them."

The power of the orange card's true god-level treasure is far more powerful than that of the Thousand Treasures River.

However, Lin Yi cannot use them yet.

According to Lin Yi's plan, only when his strength reaches the level of a third-tier or higher Universe Lord, and he is armed with a full set of True God-level treasures, can his strength reach a level comparable to a fifth-tier top Universe Lord like the Chaos City Lord, and only then can he use it safely.

Only a true god can do that.

Currently, Lin Yi has reached the level of perfect genes, and his basic divine power is only at the level of a cosmic overlord, approaching that of a top-tier cosmic overlord.

To truly reach the level of a universe master, one would need to cultivate diligently for at least several or even dozens of epochs, let alone break through to the level of a third-order universe master.

Breaking through to the level of a universe master is extremely difficult. Those who can achieve this are all geniuses among geniuses, having gone through countless trials and tribulations to succeed.

He can be said to be a protagonist of an era.
