Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Chapter 84 isn't enough! (Seeking first subscriptions)

The World Ring, inside the Temple of Time.

Lin Yan's gaze pierced through the dome of the Time Palace and through the spatial barrier of the World Ring, as if he could see the distant Ningxuan Kingdom.

Before going into seclusion.

He has one more thing to do.

revenge!

More than 600 years ago, he returned from the battlefield outside the realm, intending to kill a few core members of the Yilan family to reap some benefits, but the unexpected appearance of the Windscale World disrupted his plans.

Later, he was recalled by the legion and fought against the demon race on the eleventh battlefield. He also wiped out the natives on the continent of Lanqi. After accumulating enough military merits, he returned and immediately went into seclusion to cultivate.

He went into seclusion.

That's over six hundred years.

Lin Yan stood up and disappeared into the space of the World Ring. The spaceship traveling in the Dark Universe changed direction and headed towards the Dark Universe coordinates corresponding to Ningxuan Kingdom.

Yilan Star.

This deep green planet floats silently in the starry sky, like a meticulously carved piece of jade. The Elan Palace stands in the Northern Hemisphere, its bluish-green stone gleaming with a rustic luster in the sunlight.

Despite enduring thousands of years of wind and rain, it remains as sturdy as ever.

"Whoosh—"

Lin Yan's figure appeared in the sky above Yilan Star.

He made no attempt to conceal himself, hovering in the sky, surrounded by a layer of pale blue world power, like a god descending from the heavens, looking down at the palace below.

"Boom!"

The power of the world surged forth, and a pale blue light curtain spread outwards from him, instantly enveloping the entire planet.

Then, a giant hand condensed in the sky, with pale blue light flowing in its palm.

The giant hand slowly pressed down.

"Who is it?"

"What happened?"

Sensing this terrifying aura, the members of the Yilan family flew out in terror from the palace, pavilions, and secret cultivation chambers.

Their strength ranges from the Hengxing level to the cosmic level, and they are all elite members of the Yilan family.

now.

They saw a giant hand in the sky, and at the edge of the hand, space was slightly distorted, as if the heavens were pressing down on them.

"No!"

"Master, save me!"

"Grandmaster, save me!"

Terrified screams rose and fell.

Unable to resist, unable to escape, the entire planet was sealed off, like a giant cage.

Yi Lanyi, the old patriarch of the Yi Lan family, rushed out of the palace. He had already broken through to the first level of Domain Lord decades ago and was an invincible existence in this remote star field.

But at this moment, all he could see was fear—

That kind of fear that comes from the instinct of life and cannot be suppressed.

"Who are you?"

He looked up at the undisguised figure above, his voice trembling, and the longsword in his hand swaying slightly.

Lin Yan did not answer.

With a gentle tap of his finger, the mirage feather emerged from the spatial folds, its silvery-white light silently disappearing directly into Yi Lanyi's brow.

Yi Lanyi was completely stunned.

His eyes became empty, his body froze on the spot, and the illusion woven by the mirage feathers penetrated deep into his consciousness, rapidly devouring his memories, his secrets, and his fears.

Meanwhile, the outside world...

The enormous hand slowly pressed down.

"boom--"

The moment the palm touched the ground, the entire planet trembled violently, mountains collapsed, rivers changed course, forests were crushed into dust, and palaces crumbled into pieces in the palm of the hand.

Those members of the Yilan family who tried to escape or resist were instantly reduced to dust under the crushing force of the hand, and the Yilan family's millennia-old foundation was completely wiped out on this planet.

More than a thousand years of hatred were settled at this moment.

After a while.

The palm disappeared, and the light screen faded away.

On the planet Ilan, the once magnificent Ilan Palace no longer exists, leaving only a handprint deeply engraved on the earth.

"Not enough!"

Lin Yan hovered in the sky, looking down at the body that had lost all signs of life.

Yi Lanyi's body lay there quietly, her face still blank, but her consciousness had long since vanished.

From Yi Lanyi's memories, Lin Yan learned that the fifteenth prince of Ningxuan Kingdom was involved behind all of this.

The fifteenth prince, Tanhai.

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

He had long known that there were people behind the Yilan family, but he never expected that it would involve the royal family of Ningxuan Kingdom.

Fortunately, he didn't go directly to their door back then, otherwise even if he could kill Yi Lanyi, he probably wouldn't know about the hidden Tan Hai behind it all.

Ningxuan Kingdom has a prosperous administrative planet.

This planet is located in the heart of Ningxuan Kingdom, a commercially developed area, and is one of the favorite residences of the royal family.

High-rise buildings stand side by side.

Aircraft shuttled back and forth in the sky, leaving white contrails behind. Amidst this bustling scene, the most eye-catching sight was a vast estate, the private residence of the fifteenth prince.

Deep within the manor, in a luxurious secret room.

The walls of the secret chamber were made of black stone, and in the center was a huge round table with various delicacies and fine wines on it, the wines gleaming with an amber luster under the light.

One side of the round table.

Seated inside was a young man dressed in a golden robe. He had a handsome face, a hint of arrogance between his brows, and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, a smile that was not quite a smile.

The fifteenth prince, Tanhai.

He was only at the seventh level of the Universe Realm, not particularly outstanding among the members of the Ningxuan Kingdom's royal family, but he controlled an important source of wealth—the Bloodfire Organization's slave trade in Ningxuan Kingdom.

Because of this path to wealth.

This elevated his status within the royal family, allowing him to control more resources and infiltrate every corner of Ningxuan Kingdom.

On the other side of the round table sat a middle-aged man in a dark red robe, the head of the Bloodfire Organization in Ningxuan Kingdom.

Inside the secret room, several attendants stood respectfully in a corner, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

"Your Highness, this is the distribution of profits from the past hundred years."

The person in charge took out a spatial ring from his pocket and handed it to Tan Hai. "As agreed, thirty percent of the profits from all slave trade within Ningxuan Kingdom by the Bloodfire Organization will belong to Your Highness."

Tan Hai took the ring and probed it with his spiritual power.

Inside the ring were stacks of neatly arranged cosmic crystals, their milky white light illuminating the interior as if it were daytime. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Seven hundred billion cosmic coins."

His voice carried an undisguised excitement, "Not bad, it's five billion more than last time."

The slave trade was a shady way to make money.

Although there are no explicit legal provisions in Ningxuan Kingdom, it is ultimately not tolerated by many forces. If the power of the royal family is not used to mediate, it will be difficult for the Bloodfire Organization to survive here.

Only through the mutual exchange of benefits can one gain a firm foothold.

The same applies to Tan Hai; he needs to leverage the power behind the Bloodfire Organization to gain more power and resources.

Everyone gets what they need, and everyone is happy.
