Swallowing the Stars: Rebirth of the Star Illusion King

The Lord of Changjiu was a genius comparable to the Lord of Chaos City back then. In order to cultivate the Lord of Changjiu, the demon race offended the human race, the insect race, and the mechanical race.

The rise of the Lord of Changjiu directly transformed the seventeen royal families of the demon race into eighteen royal families.

It can be said that when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs benefit from it.

How could the Lord of Changjiu not be proud?

Just then, a strange beast approached. This beast was covered in blood-red scales and had sharp spikes on its back. The beast spoke, "Changjiu, what has made you so angry?"

The Lord of Changjiu looked at the newcomer, his anger subsided, and he smiled again, saying, "Blood Chisel, you've arrived."

The Lord of Changjiu regained his composure and said, "It's nothing serious, just that a few Universe Venerables from my clan have died."

Soon, the Lord of Changjiu gave a brief explanation of the matter.

Blood Chisel said, "Oh dear, that's terrible! How could such a big thing have happened?"

Although the demon race is numerous, with over ten thousand Universe Venerables, the eighteen royal families of the demon race each have an average of only a little over one hundred Universe Venerables. This time, the demon race actually lost 10 Universe Venerables, most of whom were high-level Universe Venerables, including two Universe Overlords. This is no small matter.

Xue Zhan said, "We need to find an opportunity to teach this human Star Illusion Venerable a lesson; kill him if we get the chance."

The Lord of Changjiu said, "Indeed, we must kill Venerable Xinghuan once and make him suffer heavy losses."

Each time a Cosmic Venerable is resurrected, it costs 1 Treasure Point, and they may even lose their own Treasure. Which Cosmic Venerable wouldn't feel heartbroken if they died?

If he can kill two or three times in a row, it will be difficult for this cosmic venerable one to turn the tables. He will be burdened with the debt of his race for the rest of his life.

The Lord of Blood Chisels said, "Oh, right, there's one more thing."

The Lord of Changjiu asked, "What is it?"

The Lord of Blood Chisels said, "I heard from the Lord of Sirius that a remarkable genius has recently emerged among the human race, I think his name is Daohe King, and he's also a Realm Lord. He's currently receiving the Beast God's inheritance on Purple Thorn Island!"

The Lord of Changjiu said, "Shouldn't the Lord of Sirius be in charge of assassinating alien geniuses? Let the Lord of Sirius handle it himself."

The Lord of Blood Chisels nodded: "Hmm, what I'm thinking is, should we get the Lord of Sirius to help deal with the Human Star Illusion Venerable? You know what, the Lord of Sirius has a lot of ideas. Besides, this time, the Sirius Clan also lost a cosmic overlord."

The Lord of Changjiu said, "Alright."

……

Xinghuan's gains in this battle were quite good.

They killed 2 cosmic overlords, 7 high-level cosmic venerables, and 2 low-level cosmic venerables.

Obtained 6 supreme treasures, 1 top-tier palace-type treasure, dozens of top-tier treasures, some materials, and some treasures to restore divine body.

Although... it's not as much as what the Lord of Blue Shine gave me... the feeling of receiving something as a gift is definitely different from earning it yourself.

Just then, the Shadow Lord also found himself.

In the virtual universe, on Thunder Island, within the Starry Palace.

Xinghuan had already prepared a banquet to welcome them.

The Shadow Lord had barely sat down when he asked, "How is the battle going?"

Xinghuan smiled slightly: "Oh dear, those demon race universe venerables are so strong and there are so many of them, what else can I do but run away?"

The Shadow Monarch chuckled and said, "You can run? I bet you killed all those demon race universe venerables, didn't you?"

Xinghuan was somewhat surprised. The human intelligence department was really impressive. He had just killed someone not long ago, and the demon race might have just obtained the information. How could the humans have obtained the information so quickly?

Venerable Star Illusion smiled and said, "Just luck, just luck, it's all luck."

After downing a glass of fine wine, the Shadow Monarch said, "Regardless, your ability to kill several high-level cosmic venerables and two cosmic overlords proves that you have great potential. I have already reported this matter to the great cosmic lords, and I believe that soon, a cosmic lord will come to receive you."

As the Shadow Monarch ate, he said, "I can't come here every day to freeload."

Xinghuan chuckled: "By the way, why do you always seem to be shrouded in the shadows?"

The Shadow Monarch quickly replied, "It's all due to our race; that's just how my race is."

Xinghuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."

The Shadow Monarch said, "By the way, with your immense strength, is there any position you desire? Our human race also has strict requirements; generally, only high-level cosmic venerables can hold management positions."

As the Shadow Monarch sipped his wine, he said, "Those ancient rulers of cosmic kingdoms, they manage just one cosmic kingdom. The Star Prison Demon Lord is the ruler of the Star Prison. And me? I'm in charge of the human intelligence department."

Xinghuan nodded.

In the power structure of the human race, the strongest in the universe is the leader, the Lord of the universe is the natural leader, and the cosmic venerables are the pillars of the human race. Those powerful cosmic venerables are often in charge of guarding a region.

Xinghuan asked, "What are the benefits?"

If there's no benefit to it, I won't lose too much.

The Shadow Monarch laughed. What benefits? Isn't power the greatest benefit?

With power, one can seek more benefits for one's own group.

This Star Illusion Venerable seems to belong to a clan, so why doesn't he care?

Xinghuan raised her glass and laughed, "I don't like being constrained; I just want to live a carefree life."

The Shadow Monarch laughed and said, "I get it. You just like jobs that are easy to do but pay well, right?"

Xinghuan smiled, then suddenly seemed puzzled and asked, "By the way, Shadow, could you tell me how long it takes for the ruler of the Universe Kingdom to obtain one Treasure Point?"

The Shadow Monarch paused for a moment, then chuckled: "Treasure points aren't like cabbages on the street."

Xinghuan knew this: one Treasure Point was worth no less than 10 trillion Chaos Units, while a Star Domain was worth only 1000 to 1 million Chaos Units.

Based on this calculation, a cosmic nation with tens of thousands of star fields would be worth at most tens of billions of Chaos Units.

A whole universe is not even worth one treasure point!

Of course, that's not how it works.

In fact, every territory belongs to the human race.

All the powerful trading territories are merely trading the right to use those territories.

Ownership of human territory naturally rests with the higher-ups of the human race.

Otherwise, if just anyone could trade territories, how could they possibly be sold to the demon race, the insect race, or the mechanical race?

Even if it is sold, it will be taken back the next day!

The so-called ruler of the Cosmic Kingdom? He's nothing more than a laborer for the human race.

The Shadow Monarch pondered for a moment and said, "The income of the ruler of the Cosmic Kingdom depends on his contributions, since the ruler of the Cosmic Kingdom also manages the Cosmic Kingdom for the Virtual Cosmic Company."
