Swallowing the Stars: Speedrun with Card Draws, Dominating Destiny

Chapter 192 Seeking an Audience with Lin Yi

"These two little ones—what a delightful surprise!" Qi Yun's gaze swept over the two, his eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"Only a few decades of cultivation! Yet he's already at the ninth level of the Domain at the Hengxing level, and has mastered both the laws of fire and light! With a little more cultivation, he won't be far from gaining the recognition of the Origin Law!"

Qi Yun was confident in his ability to discern this much.

With the aid of the superior godhood bestowed upon him by his master, he is now only one step away from immortality. Su Xin and Yang Chi are just two ephemeral little guys. No matter how talented they are, they can be seen through at a glance in front of him.

"What's most astonishing is their unbelievably vast soul essence! If it weren't for the constraints of their physical bodies, their spiritual strength would probably have already reached the level of a Domain Lord or even a World Lord!"

In Qi Yun's view, such talent already qualifies him to challenge for a place in the top ten of the Genius Battle, comparable to Uka and Qian Shui back then! If given another thousand years to hone his skills, surpassing Bolan would not be a pipe dream!

It was precisely because of this deep appreciation for these two gems, and the fear that he or the renowned mentors of the Chamber of Commerce might jeopardize their potential, that Qi Yun mustered the courage to send an email to his master, Lin Yi, requesting a meeting.

"My master is in seclusion year-round, and his time is incredibly precious. I cannot guarantee whether this trip will be possible," Qi Yun said frankly. But then his tone shifted, filled with unwavering certainty and pride: "However, Su Xin and Yang Chi, your talents are unparalleled in my life! Even if you don't get to see my master this time, as long as you don't slack off, you will be able to stand before him in the future."

Su Xin and Yang Chi nodded vigorously.

This name, from the moment they were born, was etched into their souls like a brand!

On the first day of every student at the Earth Training Camp, the compulsory course is to look up at the giant starry sky screen hanging on the dome of the hall. There, the historical scroll of Lord Lin Yi's journey from struggling to survive at the planetary level to single-handedly quelling the apocalyptic catastrophe on Earth, to leading Earth civilization into the sea of ​​stars, and finally ascending to the pinnacle of the human race's decision-making level is played on a loop!

In the eyes of people on Earth, Lin Yi has long transcended the category of "legend"!

He is the torchbearer who opens the way! He is the supreme deity who leads the people across the sea of ​​stars!

The deeper these fortunate descendants ventured into the universe, witnessing the vastness of the starry sea and the terror of the cosmic realms, the more profound their awe and worship of Lord Lin Yi became!

Earth is just one of countless planets in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is but a drop in the ocean in the eyes of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. The Black Dragon Mountain Empire is as insignificant as dust in front of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Even the high and mighty Emperor of the Qianwu Kingdom, who controls the fate of billions of galaxies, must maintain the highest respect when facing Lord Lin Yi!

"Strongest Realm Lord", "Strongest Immortal", "Commander of the Chaos City Lord's Personal Guard", "Status Surpassing Ordinary Universe Overlord" — these titles, as heavy as stars, all speak of the greatness of Lord Lin Yi!

The further one walks the path of cultivation, the more one understands how difficult each step is! Lord Lin Yi's rise has already surpassed the limits that can be described as "exaggerated" or "terrifying"!

Gods? Rulers?

These words are insufficient to describe the almost eternal awe and devotion that welled up in their souls when they looked up at that star!

Just as the two were so excited that they could hardly breathe, hum!

Qi Yun's personal terminal on his wrist vibrated slightly, and an email with an access code flashed by!

Qi Yun glanced down and a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face!

He raised his head, looking down at the two pairs of expectant eyes below, and called out in a loud and clear voice, "Su Xin! Yang Chi!"

"Prepare to teleport!"

"Master—want to see you!"

Virtual Universe: Lin Yi's Exclusive Dimension

This is not a standard space like Thunder Island or Rain Mountain. This is a secret cosmic realm, entirely privately created by the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company for Lin Yi, the "Star River Overlord" of a special status!

The entire plane is like a miniature cosmic wonder.

At its center stands a magnificent temple suspended above an endless vortex of stars! The temple is made of neither gold nor jade, flowing with the primordial Daoist aura of the beginning of chaos. Its surface is imprinted with profound and unfathomable laws and runes; its very existence exudes a powerful pressure that can freeze the soul! Around the temple, countless golden chains formed from pure laws pierce the void, like a loyal guard protecting an emperor, preventing any unauthorized prying or approach!

This is Lin Yi's absolute domain in the virtual universe, the "Star River Temple"!

In the past, company personnel who came to exchange spoils or pass on secret techniques could only obtain one-time temporary teleportation privileges to reach a specific receiving platform outside the temple, and were not even qualified to touch the temple gates.

At this moment, on the throne within the temple, which seemed to be sculpted from the core of a star, Lin Yi's figure slowly solidified. His gaze was gentle yet profound, piercing through the temple's walls and the spatial fluctuations outside.

"Permissions granted —" Lin Yi whispered, an invisible law mark flowing from his fingertips.

Almost simultaneously!

Three beams of teleportation light shone in front of the temple's enormous gate, which resembled a starry portal!

The light faded, revealing Qi Yun's excited and respectful figure, and behind him—

Those two geniuses from a distant homeland, representing a new generation of humanity on Earth.

Su Xin and Yang Chi, with eyes that seemed to hold those of pilgrims, stepped into this space for the first time.

"You may come in."

The voice was warm and gentle, as if it contained the primordial power of the universe that nourishes all things. It resonated directly in the depths of Yang Chi and Su Xin's souls, dispelling all their unease and anxiety, leaving only pure awe and anticipation.

"Yes, Master!"

Qi Yun responded respectfully first, followed closely by Yang Chi and Su Xin. With a sense of pilgrimage, they followed behind Qi Yun and carefully stepped into the magnificent palace gate that seemed to be forged from chaotic starlight.

Take a step in!

It was as if it had pierced through some kind of cosmic barrier!

An indescribable aura of vastness, antiquity, and supreme power instantly enveloped them! The entire interior of the temple seemed to be a self-contained universe, with space extending infinitely. The dome flowed with the brilliant trajectory of the galaxy's rotation, and the ground resembled solidified cosmic dust and nebulae.

Their gazes, as if drawn by an invisible magnet, were involuntarily drawn to the throne high above the nine-tiered star platform at the end of the temple!

The figure, dressed in a seemingly simple white robe that actually exuded an intangible Taoist aura, sat quietly.

He was only a little over two meters tall, making him inconspicuous among the powerful beings in the universe.

however!

The moment Yang Chi and Su Xin's gazes fell upon him, an indescribable shock swept over their souls!

This is an absolute crushing defeat on a level of life!

The simple white robe he wore was the most eye-catching thing. Various treasures glittered with starlight, as if they contained a boundless galaxy that was deeper and more vast than the entire temple, or even this exclusive plane!

It flowed around him like the rhythm of the universe itself breathing!
