Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Time flows by.

On an ordinary planet in the Lanyou Universe Kingdom, most of the planet's surface is covered by primeval forests, and the population is sparse, with only a few small settlements scattered around, living in peace and harmony.

Deep beneath a great mountain in the Northern Hemisphere.

In the center of a simple cultivation chamber, there is a black nutrient tank, with several glowing crystals embedded in the surrounding rock walls, emitting a soft light.

Inside the nutrient tank.

Lin Yan lay naked in the blue nutrient solution, the temperature of which was exactly the same as his body temperature, and the touch was warm and silky.

A surge of vibrant energy was rapidly penetrating deep into his body through every pore of his skin.

That feeling is indescribable.

It felt as if life itself was cheering with joy.

Wherever this energy passed, every cell in Lin Yan's body greedily absorbed it, every fiber trembled joyfully, and every inch of his bones silently became denser and stronger.

Muscles, bones, skin, internal organs—

Even the genetic material deep within cells is changing at an astonishing rate; that strange and vital energy is driving the improvement and evolution of genetic material.

One month.

Lin Yan soaked in the nutrient solution for a whole month.

Every day, he could feel the changes in himself, and finally on this day, his physical evolution reached its peak.

Inside the nutrient chamber, Lin Yan opened his eyes.

The blue nutrient solution rapidly decreased, and the liquid level in the chamber dropped from chest level to waist level before being quickly emptied.

He stood up and leaped out of the nutrient tank. His figure was more proportionate than a month ago, with smooth and powerful muscle lines, and a faint sheen could be seen on the surface of his skin.

"call--"

Lin Yan let out a long breath, sensing the changes in his own condition.

The spiral galaxy is beautiful and dazzling. In addition to the supermassive black hole at its core, there are also eight smaller black holes on its eight spiral arms.

The stars on the spiral arms were densely packed, like brilliant galaxies flowing through the dark void.

Cosmic level, ninth order.

For an ordinary person, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to go from the first to the ninth level of the cosmic level. Even with Lin Yan's cultivation speed, it would normally take at least a hundred years to go from the seventh to the ninth level.

But now, Lin Yan has successfully reached the ninth level of the cosmic level after only soaking in the nutrient solution for a month.

……

Lin Yan sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room, closed his eyes, and looked inward at the vast vortex galaxy within his body.

Cosmic level, ninth order.

The next step is the domain master level.

Although the sixth level of the Water Domain is not comparable to those Star Geniuses, it has already met the conditions for breaking through to the Domain Lord level.

In addition, there is the energy absorbed by the broken stone slab, and the second mirage feather he obtained in the Wind Scale Palace, the Feather of Time, which he has not yet refined and controlled.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment and decided to break through to the Domain Lord level first.

He had offended too many forces in the Windscale World, and too many people were eyeing him—Blood Moon Tower, Azure Wolf Mountain, the Ningxuan Kingdom's royal family—

Those realm lords remembered his life force. Although he has now left Ningxuan Kingdom, no one can guarantee that the tentacles of those forces will not extend to other countries.

Only by breaking through to the Domain Lord realm will he have any power to protect himself.

"but……"

"This location probably isn't suitable!"

Lin Yan looked around and realized that the security was still not enough, so he took out the World Ring.

"Whoosh!"

next moment.

His figure vanished instantly from the secret room.

The world ring fell into the nutrient tank, and under the control of the fat cat, the nutrient tank door closed and firmly covered it.

……

This is a vast space.

The sky was a soft white, with rolling mountains in the distance and a verdant grassland at its foot. A clear river meandered through the grassland, making a gurgling sound.

The air was fresh and moist, carrying a hint of the fragrance of earth and grass.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Yan appeared on a mountain peak, overlooking this little world that belonged to him.

On the distant grassland,

Neatly arranged were various treasures, all of which he had brought out from the Wind Scale Palace: resources of thousands of Chaos Units, fifth-tier weapons, rare ores...

In another corner, the Feather of Time floated quietly in mid-air, emitting a soft silver-white light, echoing the Feather of Space within Lin Yan's body.

Near the foot of another mountain peak, there were piles of cultivation supplies he had purchased from the Virtual Universe Company.

On the mountaintop,

Lin Yan found a suitable spot to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and his breathing gradually became long and steady.

……

In the vast universe, time flows forward.

Thirty years is but a drop in the ocean compared to the vast universe, not even a ripple.

The stars are still burning, the galaxies are still spinning, and those journeys across light-years are still going on silently.

But for Lin Yan, these past thirty years have been one of the most crucial turning points in his life.

His body.

That spiral galaxy is slowly rotating.

Tens of thousands of energy stars revolve along elliptical orbits under the influence of gravity, with eight spiral arms extending outward from the center, each adorned with countless stars.

At the core of the galaxy is a giant black hole.

Eight smaller black holes are distributed along the eight spiral arms. They revolve around the central black hole, much like planets orbiting a star, while constantly drawing energy from the spiral arms.

"Boom!"

At this moment, this beautiful and brilliant spiral galaxy is undergoing astonishing changes.

A loud roar followed.

The central black hole suddenly unleashed a powerful devouring force, instantly pulling at the surrounding stars and swallowing them along with the fragments from the collisions between them.

The central black hole is getting bigger.

As it devoured more and more stars, its size began to expand, and the area it devoured became wider and wider. Even the eight small black holes on the spiral arm were affected and began to move closer to the central black hole.

Devour~

Devour everything.

Eight smaller black holes were swallowed up one by one by the central black hole, each time making the central black hole even larger, until finally only one black hole remained in the entire spiral galaxy.

next moment.

The black hole began to collapse from the inside.

The entire black area shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the black hole collapsed and disappeared, and a gray sphere appeared in the center of the original black hole.

It's very small, only the size of a fist.

Its surface is gray, without any luster or texture, and looks just like an ordinary stone.

But its energy is astonishingly great—

That was the singularity formed by compressing all the energy of the entire vortex galaxy, countless stars, and a supermassive black hole to the extreme; it was also the life core of a domain lord.

Singularity Core.
