Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

Time quickly passed to January 1, 2055, which was New Year's Day.

With Xu Qiankun's rise, China's situation has improved significantly. In the seven major base cities and fifty-six satellite cities across the country, there has never been a beast tide of level C or above, and no king-level monsters have dared to invade. It's as if the entire China has become a forbidden zone for king-level monsters.

Even in coastal cities occupied by monsters, almost all the King-level monsters have withdrawn, leaving only a few Lord-level monsters to oversee the overall situation.

The "Yanhuang Biotechnology Company," established by the Chinese government, has also launched several gene-enhancing liquids that are very inexpensive but extremely effective, which have accelerated the cultivation speed of many people who are willing to pursue the path of martial arts, and even increased the number of formal martial artists.

It is precisely under this environment that China's holidays have finally regained some of their former popularity before their great rebirth.

This New Year's Day is even more special because President Xu of Kyushu University, who has supported China to get to this point, will be getting married today.

All seven base cities and fifty-six satellite cities were decorated festively, with lanterns and colorful decorations, as if celebrating the New Year before a great rebirth.

Meanwhile, at the newly built "New Heaven Hotel" outside the Langhuan residential area in Kyoto base city, countless celebrities flocked to the hotel, and the entrance was crowded with onlookers.

"Look, look! Isn't that bald guy Thor, the third strongest man in the world?"

"That's really true."

"Wasn't Lord Thor defeated by the Guardian God? He's coming to the wedding too?"

"Maybe they're afraid of getting another beating from their guardian spirit."

"Wow, that woman is so beautiful, and that man, isn't he Hong, the world's strongest warrior?"

......

At the entrance of the New Sky Hotel, hearing people's discussions, Thor's lips twitched. "I definitely have to make sure Xu Qiankun has a few more drinks later."

"Today is Xu Qiankun's special day, don't do anything reckless," Hong hurriedly advised him. "That guy is notoriously petty. If you delay his wedding night, he might really beat you up in public."

"Also, what is the congratulatory gift you prepared?" Hong asked. "I heard that Atkin was humiliated in public because he didn't give Xu Qiankun a gift in advance."

"Brother Hong, isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk bad about people behind their backs?" Thor suddenly smiled. "Qiankun and I are good buddies. We spar with each other, but we only go so far. He's very generous and has never hurt me."

Something's not right.

Hong reacted instantly, looked up and saw Xu Qiankun standing at the door with a half-smile.

As the three strongest people on Earth, they naturally have a lot of exchanges and cooperation. Although they did not become sworn brothers with Luo Feng like in the original work, they still got along very well.

"Haha, Brother Qiankun, congratulations!" Ignoring Hong's twitching lips, Thor walked up with a box and congratulated Xu Qiankun in a familiar manner, "This is something I got from the ruins. I heard that your wife is also a psychic, so I'm giving it to you as a congratulatory gift."

"So generous?"

Xu Qiankun smiled as he looked at Thor.

"They're all family."

Thor waved his hand dismissively, but his heart was bleeding inside.

He wasn't as wealthy as Hong Fu; this telekinetic weapon was already the best one in his collection.

"Then I'll accept it."

Xu Qiankun smiled and took the box from Thor's hand. He scanned it with his mental energy and found that it contained a shield-like telekinetic weapon, quite similar to his "Dragon Shield".

"Xu Qiankun, congratulations." Hong walked up with Yao Rao, one of his three personal guards, and took out a box. "This is a piece of Jade Dragon Marrow, which should be able to improve your strength by one level."

"You're really willing to take out something so precious?"

Xu Qiankun looked at Hong in surprise. As fellow Earthlings, their comprehension might differ greatly, but their cultivation speed was not that different.

The reason why Hong and Lei Shen improved their strength so quickly was not only because they had better aptitude, but also because they discovered several ancient civilization ruins in the early stages of the Great Nirvana and obtained a lot of resources from them.

Jade Dragon Marrow is one such item, its effect being to directly increase the strength of a planetary-level being one tier below the fourth tier.

Thanks!

Xu Qiankun showed no politeness whatsoever. Even if he couldn't use the Jade Dragon Marrow himself, he could give it to Qu Ying or his mother-in-law.

"Come on, let's go inside."

Xu Qiankun warmly led the two into the hotel.

On Earth, besides Jia Yi and other powerful figures belonging to the Chinese government, only these two people could command his personal greeting.

"Hong, Thor, this way please."

Xu Qiankun led the two into the hotel, where Zhao Yunshanhe and Qin Long quickly came to greet them.

In order to attend Xu Qiankun's wedding, all the powerful figures from China, except for Situ Xiong and Zhang Wuyi who were stationed at the Kyushu base city and were unable to leave, gathered in the Kyoto base city.

Jia Yi and Chen Mingtian, both very busy people, put down their work and came to help with the arrangements.

"They really take it seriously."

Looking at the nine planetary-level powerhouses bustling about in the banquet hall, Thor couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at the nine planetary-level powerhouses bustling about in the banquet hall, Thor couldn't help but sigh.

"How could we not take it seriously?" Hong shook his head and chuckled. "Xu Qiankun used to only have one younger sister, so he was practically all alone and could easily change allegiances. Now that he's married to Qu Ying, he's completely tied to China's cause. It would be strange if he wasn't eager to take it seriously."

Just then, the corpse of a giant monster was carried in from outside by more than ten powerful warriors.

This is a dragon-like monster with a perfectly intact head that is six or seven meters in diameter. It would take six powerful warriors, including the God of War, to lift it.

The dragon scales, skin, blood, flesh, and even internal organs were all removed, leaving only a skeleton.

"Azure Dragon King of the East Sea"

Upon seeing the monster's head, both Hong and Thor stood up.

This is a powerful monster whose strength is no weaker than that of the Black Dragon King. It is also a sixth-order planetary-level monster that lives in the Pacific Ocean. Because it is close to the East China Sea, it is called the Azure Dragon King of the East China Sea.

"This guy was actually killed by Xu Qiankun too?"

"Is today's feast going to be made with this guy's flesh?"

"Truly ruthless"

Not only were the two surprised, but the other guests who arrived were even more shocked. Whether they were planetary-level or war god-level experts, they were all intimidated by the dragon might emanating from the Azure Dragon King of the East Sea.

"Jia Yi, is this what we're eating today?"

Thor found Jia Yi, who was busy, and asked him.

"good"

Jia Yi nodded.

"The Azure Dragon King of the East Sea probably never imagined it would suffer such a fate, did it?"

Thor couldn't help but sigh, "A powerful monster of the sixth planetary level was actually slaughtered and eaten like a pig."

Before long, the dishes were served, and several of them were particularly eye-catching.

"This is... the flesh of the Red Dragon King?"

"What is this snow-white meat? Is it a crab? It's actually from a King-level monster!"

"And these fish and meat too, how many king-level monsters did Xu Qiankun kill for this wedding banquet?"

Looking at the table full of dishes, the planetary-level powerhouses' pupils contracted sharply. They originally thought that just one Azure Dragon King of the East Sea was frightening enough, but they didn't expect that there would be at least three other king-level monsters served on the table.

Lobsters are king-level monsters.

Crabs are king-level monsters.

Fish are also king-level monsters.

Soon the auspicious hour arrived. Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, Xu Qiankun, dressed in wedding attire, and Qu Ying, in a red wedding gown, walked gracefully in and completed their wedding ceremony in front of many guests.

"Haha, groom, come on, let's have a drink!"

"Xu Qiankun, we won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"

"Master, Mistress, I salute you and wish you a son soon."

The guests beckoned Xu Qiankun over, and Luo Feng, who had rushed back from the Nine Provinces Continent, quickly stepped forward with a wine glass in hand.

"Luo Feng is actually Xu Qiankun's disciple?"

The guests were astonished to see this. Although Luo Feng was just a minor martial artist with little fame, he was still known to many people among the War God and Planetary levels because Li Yao and Vinina had put a bounty of hundreds of billions on him.

They just didn't expect that Luo Feng would actually be Xu Qiankun's disciple.

Call him "Master," not "Teacher."

"This indicates that the relationship is not that of a school teacher and student, but rather a true master-apprentice relationship in the traditional sense."

Many powerful individuals familiar with Chinese culture raised their eyebrows, showing great interest in Luo Feng.

After all, in traditional Chinese thought, a master is not someone you can just call out, and a disciple is not someone you can just take on. Sometimes the relationship between a master and disciple is even closer than that between a father and son.

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun and Qu Ying raised their wine glasses and toasted the guests.

Xu Qiankun worked until late at night before finally seeing off the somewhat reluctant Thor.
