Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 189 A Century

Elisa's purple eyes widened slightly, clearly surprised by her master's request.

"Analysis—Supreme Treasure Rune?" She stretched out her slender, jade-like fingers and gently touched the flaming longsword, a faint soul fluctuation seeping into it like mercury.

After a moment, she nodded slightly, her voice ethereal yet firm: "Master, I have never tried this before. The Soul-Spirit Insects coexist with my soul, like an extension of it. In the past, I only used them as weapons to amplify soul impacts—"

A strange light flickered across her exquisite face, as if she were examining a new possibility: "But theoretically—since it's an extension of the soul, perception, analysis, and even understanding—shouldn't be a problem. They—may be able to do it."

Lin Yi's heart ignited and began to pound violently! But that wasn't enough! This was only the first step!

He suppressed his excitement and asked the most crucial, core question! His voice carried an unprecedented solemnity: "Then—can I, like you control them—directly connect with them by soul, and even completely control them?!"

This is the real core! If the Soul Spirit Insect can only be controlled and analyzed by Elisa, its help in refining the Myriad Treasures River will be greatly reduced! What he needs is absolute control!

"Master wants to—connect their souls?" A deeper look of confusion flashed across Elisa's eyes.

The master was not a soul master, so what did she want to do with these fragile soul worms? But her loyalty to Lin Yi was above all else, and she began to consider the feasibility without any hesitation.

A few breaths later, under the gaze of those expectant eyes filled with starlight, Elisa nodded firmly: "The soul binding originates from the imprint of my life. If the master needs it—"

She gently waved her hand and gave a buzzing sound!

A semi-transparent energy body, floating gently like a dark blue jellyfish, appeared between the two.

It has no fixed form, and its body is filled with a faint but pure soul aura, radiating an immortal-level aura. It is a soul spirit insect of the lowest level!

"I have severed my life link with this insect," Elisa's voice was calm and even. "Master, you can try—using your soul to control it."

"Good!" Lin Yi's eyes gleamed brightly!

hum! ! !

A vast and boundless soul power surged forth from between his brows like an invisible cosmic tsunami! Although this power was not specifically designed for soul attacks, its origin strength and the refinement of its will far surpassed that of ordinary Venerables!

The spirit worm, just freed from the Queen Mother's brand and greedily inhaling the breath of free souls, hadn't even had a chance to stretch its illusory "limbs"—

"puff!"

Like the faint sound of a bubble being popped.

Lin Yi's domineering and unparalleled soul imprint, like a blazing star imprint, instantly pierced through its fragile soul core, completely covering, controlling, and enslaving its consciousness!

That faint light of freedom couldn't even last a fraction of a second before being extinguished by absolute power, becoming the most insignificant node in Lin Yi's soul network!

This poor soul worm, after gaining its freedom for less than a breath—

Then came its second, more thorough, incarnation—forced affiliation!

Looking at the soul worm in front of him, whose eyes had instantly become docile and whose soul fluctuations were completely in sync with his own, Lin Yi's lips slowly curled into a smile of complete control.

He has already mastered a shortcut to the "River of Ten Thousand Treasures"—a shortcut that utilizes the abilities of the Zerg, uses Soul Spirits as "analysis units" and "tentacles of will," completely bypasses the time barrier of comprehending secret runes, and leads to the Zerg.

He pondered for a moment, then his immense divine sense swept over the mountain of treasures piled up in his card pack space. "First batch production—10,000 units locked! Requirements: All must reach the soul-bearing capacity of a Universe Venerable!"

He casually tossed a ring that rippled with spatial energy, and it hovered in front of Elisa.

"These ten thousand treasures—" Lin Yi's voice was calm, yet it caused Elisa's purple starry eyes to suddenly narrow, "to be handed over to the Soul Spirit Insect Legion—to analyze their core runes with all their might!"

"I need this very much, the faster the analysis is completed, the better!"

Ten thousand—treasures?!

As Elisa's slender, pale fingertips touched the ring, her soul power instantly perceived the vast array of treasures within, like a starry sea, radiating the light of various laws! Even as the Zerg Queen, a woman of great knowledge and experience, her heart was filled with turbulent waves!

But she possessed absolute loyalty and obedience to her master's orders. Suppressing the shock in her heart, she bowed and replied, "Elisa obeys!"

For the next century, Lin Yi remained completely silent.

Deep within the palace of the primordial universe, a near-frozen tranquility, focused on ultimate introspection, prevailed.

-

The divine body dwells there, and billions of cells, like miniature universes, breathe in and out chaotic energy, sorting through every trace of the original mystery of the perfect life gene level, attempting to break through the 10081-fold life gene level.

At the core of his soul, the chaotic Daoist rhythm of the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" flowed endlessly, and the insights into the laws of the Three Pure Ones' avatars flowed like three rushing rivers, continuously merging into Lin Yi's ocean of consciousness! The essence of the eight fundamental laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space—was repeatedly dissected, analyzed, and deeply integrated!

The sharpness of the "Sword Manual of Reincarnation" is silently tempered deep within the soul. Countless invisible sword intents shuttle through the space of consciousness. Each "reincarnation" makes his will more condensed and resilient!

He's going into seclusion! He's undergoing arduous training! He wants to thoroughly settle, solidify, and integrate the power that has been expanding wildly before!

In the vast primordial universe, a silent transformation triggered by the "seeds" sown by Lin Yi is taking root, sprouting, and growing at an astonishing speed!

Thanks to the massive amount of pills provided by Lin Yi during and after the war:

One-Pattern Reversal Pill (800 million): Like the first rain of the universe, it nourished millions of peak Realm Lords! In secret realms, divine kingdoms, and even the core of the universe kingdoms throughout the human territory, pillars of divine power breaking through to immortality rose and fell one after another! Although compared to the huge number of immortals in the hundreds of millions of humans, these millions of newly added military lord immortals are like drops of water in a galaxy, they have indeed stirred up a considerable wave.

Two-Pattern Reversal Pills (100 million): These became the keys for countless Immortal Military Lords to break through barriers! Over a million Immortal powerhouses, propelled by the power of the pills and their own accumulated strength, successfully stepped into the Marquis realm! Among them, the most outstanding even touched upon the seal—

The King's Threshold.

Three-Patterned Reversal Pill (8 pills): This small pill triggered the first collective shock among the high-ranking members of the human race!

More than 70,000 Marquis-level Immortals, with the help of its immense medicinal power, successfully broke through the shackles that had plagued billions of lives and ascended to the ranks of the universe's strongest to become King-level Immortals!

It caused a sensation!

The human race, after countless eons of accumulation, has only managed to produce a mere hundred thousand immortal kings!
