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

"In just three years, you've grasped the essence of the laws of time and space?"

Inside the Qianwu Secret Realm, the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler looked at Xu Qiankun with a complex expression, feeling both joy and surprise.

Ever since he learned of Xu Qiankun's talent, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom has been paying close attention to him and witnessing his growth firsthand.

"By sheer luck"

Xu Qiankun said with a smile.

"This is not as simple as luck," the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom shook his head slightly. "In the history of the primordial universe, there has never been anyone as exaggerated as you. Even the fastest to comprehend the laws took more than 1800 years to comprehend just one of them, and yet he was hailed by our human race as a genius that is hard to come by even in a hundred million epochs."

"And you not only comprehended the laws of spacetime at the same time, but also thoroughly understood the 108 essences of the two laws in less than three years..."

Even the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom didn't know how to describe it; Xu Qiankun's talent had exceeded his comprehension.

After all, even with his current strength, he couldn't possibly comprehend the essence of the 108 laws of time from scratch within a few years.

"It's not actually that exaggerated."

Xu Qiankun said with an awkward smile.

In the world of Swallowing the Stars, he did indeed only need less than three years, but in the prehistoric world, hundreds of years had already passed.

In addition, given the essence of the gods and demons of the universe and their powerful divine souls, comprehending the laws of time and space is indeed relatively easy.

"Now that you can use the fourth level of the Cosmic Weapon, I should fulfill my promise and send you to the Initial Universe."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xu Qiankun bowed to the King of Qianwu Kingdom. "I heard that after going to the Initial Universe, one needs to stay for a hundred years before leaving. Before going to the Initial Universe, may I go back to my hometown to see my family?"

"Your identity has been well hidden and has not been exposed yet. Even if you leave, there shouldn't be too much risk," the King of Qianwu said after a moment's thought. "However, just to be on the safe side, I will send Thirteen to accompany you."

"it is good"

Xu Qiankun did not refuse.

Earth does indeed contain many precious treasures, such as Mech Race spaceships and Zerg hives.

However, for powerful beings who have reached the King level, these things are of little value except for selling some cosmic crystals.

The true priceless treasure on Earth is the metal plate that records the "Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture." However, that thing was made by the Mountain-Sitting Guest and has been lost on Earth for an unknown period of time. No one has ever discovered it, and even if Thirteen were to go, he certainly wouldn't be able to find it.

Moreover, that thing was left to Earth by the Mountain Dweller, so even if Thirteen finds it, he wouldn't be able to discover its secrets.

Didn't you see that Zuo Shan Ke dared to directly hand over some of the metal pieces to Qing Dou Kou Venerable and Yan Di?

Under the escort of the thirteen powerful kings, Xu Qiankun returned to Earth a month and a half later.

"husband"

"Master"

"dad"

"Haha, Qiankun, you're finally back!"

......

Qu Ying, Luo Feng, Jia Yi, and others had already received the news and arrived at the huge spaceship docking port outside the Kyoto base city.

Even now, travel on Earth remains restricted; apart from a small minority, most people do not have citizenship in the universe.

This applies not only to Earth, but also to Earthlings who have migrated to other planets.

Furthermore, information about the Mech Race spaceships and the Zerg Hive is classified as top secret, and no one is allowed to leak it.

To maintain secrecy, Luo Feng even assigned more than ten star-level slaves as monitors on each inhabited planet.

"Daddy, Daddy"

A beautifully sculpted little girl ran and jumped into Xu Qiankun's arms.

She is Xu Shuangshuang, who is almost three years old now, and this is the first time she has met Xu Qiankun in real life.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Xu Qiankun squatted down and hugged Xu Shuangshuang in his arms before greeting Luo Feng, Jia Yi, and the others.

"By the way, let me introduce you," Xu Qiankun said, making way for Thirteen. "This is the Thirteen Divine Generals, from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, a great and immortal deity."

"An immortal god?"

Upon hearing Xu Qiankun's introduction, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they hurriedly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Thirteenth Lord."

"Yes, you're welcome."

Thirteen nodded slightly. Although he didn't know why the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler cared so much about Xu Qiankun, as the ruler's confidant, he knew there must be considerations he didn't know. Naturally, he would be more polite to the people around Xu Qiankun.

"Thirteenth Master, they've prepared a welcome feast. Why don't we go and try some of our Earth's delicacies?"

Xu Qiankun extended an invitation to Thirteen.

"it is good"

Thirteen nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the group arrived at the "New Sky Hotel," which was originally built for Xu Qiankun's wedding but has now become the best hotel on Earth.

There's no way around it; it's all because of the celebrity effect.

After finishing the meal, Thirteen said, "It's not very convenient for me to be here, so let's just go back to the spaceship. I'll come as soon as possible if anything happens."

The Xu family castle was undoubtedly magnificent to ordinary Earthlings, but it looked rather shabby in front of a powerful immortal like Thirteen, so Xu Qiankun did not try to keep him.

After Thirteen left, Xu Qiankun took Qu Ying and the siblings Xu Shuangshuang and Xu Yishan back to the Xu family castle.

"I want to sleep with Daddy tonight."

Ever since the little cotton-padded jacket met Xu Qiankun in real life, she has clung to him tightly and wouldn't let go, as if she was afraid he would suddenly run away.

"Alright, whatever you say."

Xu Qiankun gently rubbed her head, then had someone take her to take a bath.

"Daddy, I want to sleep next to you too."

Xu Yishan also said that he is over five years old. As the biggest second generation on Earth, the strongest person on Earth is his own father, and the second strongest person is his senior brother. He has been lawless since childhood.

However, he appeared extremely docile in front of Xu Qiankun.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first."

Xu Qiankun did not refuse.

This departure means he won't be able to leave the primordial universe for at least another hundred years. And with his understanding of the laws, even if he doesn't make any progress in the primordial universe after 33 years, it will still be enough to shock the myriad races of the primordial universe.

At that time, the three most powerful races that are hostile to the human race—the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race—will probably all regard him as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Without sufficient strength, he wouldn't even dare to return to Earth.

"Thanks a lot"

Xu Qiankun held Qu Ying's hand and said with some heartache.

"This is our shared home, there's nothing to be tired about. But you must be careful out there, I've heard the universe is too dangerous."

Qu Ying said with some concern that she had only been to the universe once, where she witnessed the prosperity of Qiulong Star and the slave market that stretched for more than 300 kilometers. She saw countless beings, whose strength was even greater than that of Hong and Thor, the strongest beings on Earth, being sold off as slaves at will.

"Don't worry, my main task right now is cultivation, I don't need to fight," Xu Qiankun said with a smile. "Safety is guaranteed, it's just that this time I might not be able to come back for a long time."

"It's alright, we can still meet in the virtual universe," Qu Ying said with a smile. "You are the pride of China and even the people of Earth, and the pride of me and my children. No matter what, we can't hold you back."

The couple chatted for a long time.

That night, the two coaxed Xu Yishan and Xu Shuangshuang to sleep, and then moved to another room to sleep.

After a series of energetic and healthy activities, Xu Qiankun took out a ring and placed it in Qu Ying's hand. "This is a World Ring. It contains a large amount of resources that I have prepared for you. Each one has instructions for use. Just follow them."

"In addition, I have prepared a seedling of Moyun Vine and some resources for cultivating Moyun Vine for you three mothers and Yixin, so that the children can recognize the Lord when they are about ten years old."

"Remember, the Moyun Vine must be recognized by a master before you start cultivating it, otherwise it will not be easy to subdue."

"There are a few fruits that I obtained by chance inside. After I leave, you should each take three and eat them. Those fruits are quite precious, so you must not leave them..."

Xu Qiankun went on and on about many things, which made Qu Ying feel a bad premonition.

"Will you be gone for a long time this time?"

"Hmm," Xu Qiankun nodded, "It will take at least a hundred years."

"century?"

Qu Ying's face turned pale upon hearing this. She was only in her thirties, and a hundred years was indeed a long time for her.

What Xu Qiankun didn't dare to say was that the time he had been gone might be far more than a century.
