Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

Ziwei Star, Jingzhou, deep in the Huaiyang Mountains.

Ripples spread out in layers, and a dazzling, seven-colored passage slowly materialized in the void.

Yi An led over a hundred core disciples of the Sword Sect, flying out of the passage and landing steadily among the rolling mountains.

"Greetings to the patriarch, greetings to my grandmaster uncle."

The hundreds of Sword Sect disciples were filled with excitement, their eyes brimming with undisguised admiration. They bowed in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized.

The loud sound crashed against the mountain wall, echoing layer by layer, lingering in the valley for a long time.

"Xiao Feng, are you alright?"

Meng Qinglan stepped past the crowd in front of her and hurried to Lin Youfeng's side.

"Uncle-Master, I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of guilt flashed across Lin Youfeng's brows, and he subconsciously lowered his eyes.

"Brother, look at Xiao Feng! He actually attacked me!"

After confirming that Lin Youfeng was safe and sound, Meng Qinglan's expression immediately changed. She turned to Meng Jingrong beside her and complained, her tone tinged with grievance.

"Xiao Feng did the right thing."

Meng Jingrong's expression darkened slightly as he reprimanded, "Who told you to be so lazy and slack off all the time, refusing to focus on your cultivation? When it comes to a critical moment, not only are you useless, you only hold us back!"

"I'm just worried about Xiao Feng... Besides, you guys can just focus on your cultivation and your progress is countless times faster than mine. It's not something I can control."

Meng Qinglan pouted in dissatisfaction, her response so faint it was almost inaudible, like the fluttering of a mosquito's wings.

Just then, a dazzling crimson streak of light suddenly pierced the sky in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson cone-shaped spaceship slowly broke through the clouds and hovered steadily in mid-air.

The spaceship hatch opened, and Hei Zhi, dressed in crimson armor, leaped down from the spaceship. He then knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to Meng Jingrong.

"Master, Hei Zhi has completed the task you assigned."

Blackie's eyes gleamed with fervent light as he stared intently at Meng Jingrong, his face filled with heartfelt reverence and submission. "This is the intelligent computer you requested. All the information I know has been synchronized."

After saying that, he held up an object that resembled a wristband with both hands, raising it high above his head.

"Master's strength is unfathomable!"

"They actually managed to kill Prince Mu Feng! I am truly blessed to be my master's servant, following him closely!"

Looking up at Meng Jingrong's tall figure, his dark face revealed a heartfelt fervor and submission.

When Meng Jingrong returned to Ziwei Star, he noticed that a large number of extraterrestrials had entered the star.

He acted decisively, using a secret soul technique to successfully enslave Hei Zhi, and in doing so, he also learned about the intruder's strength and background.

Most of these people come from the medium-sized universe nation "Yoko River Empire", and behind them are more or less powerful forces at the peak world lord or immortal level.

As for Mu Feng, who is the leader, his background is extremely illustrious.

He was a top noble scion of the advanced civilization "Northern Sea Universe Kingdom".

Mu Feng's father was a super genius of the Virtual Universe Company. Five hundred years ago, after successfully breaking through to the Immortal Realm, he was assigned to work in the Northern Sea Universe Kingdom.

Now, he is one of the three giants of the Virtual Universe Company stationed in the Northern Sea Universe Kingdom, in full charge of all matters of the Ministry of Commerce, and his combat strength is estimated to be at the peak of the Marquis Immortal level.

When Meng Jingrong returned to Ziwei Star, all he saw was devastation.

The ordinary people on the planet have long been subjected to a bloody massacre, with over a hundred million people dying.

The two sides have formed an irreconcilable blood feud, and even though the invaders have powerful backgrounds, Meng Jingrong has never shown any intention of compromising.

"Blackie, immediately connect all display devices on Ziwei Star."

Meng Jingrong gave the order in a deep voice.

The next second, every corner of Ziwei Star, whether it was the giant display screen in a bustling city, the old television in a remote village, or the communication devices in people's hands, was once again covered by light and shadow.

"I am Meng Jingrong."

Meng Jingrong's handsome face appeared clearly on all the screens.

His expression was calm, and his voice was steady and powerful, penetrating every device and reaching every inch of the planet.

"The alien invasion crisis targeting Ziwei Star has been completely resolved."

He paused briefly, his gaze turning grave. "However, after this crisis, an even more terrifying catastrophe is about to descend! At that time, the entire Ziwei Star may be completely wiped out of the universe!"

These words resonated like a thunderclap in everyone's hearts.

The initial relief from the crisis returned to a state of tension, and fear and anxiety began to spread.

"All citizens of Ziwei Star, immediately leave your residences and assemble in the nearest central area of ​​your city."

Meng Jingrong continued to issue orders in a deep voice, speaking very quickly, "All martial artists in various places are responsible for maintaining order and must do their utmost to assist the people in completing the assembly."

"The situation is extremely urgent, and we don't have much time left to prepare!"

Meng Jingrong looked up at the starry sky outside the screen, where billions of stars twinkled in the night.

His eyes were resolute. "I will lead everyone away from Ziwei Star and find a new home..."

After the global live stream was shut down.

With a thought, Meng Jingrong extended his soul power into the World Ring, moving all the items, resources, and the corpses of Mu Feng and the others out of the ring and piling them up on the ground into a small mountain.

"Hei Zhi, take all of these things with you."

Meng Jingrong nodded slightly to Hei Zhi and pointed to the supplies on the ground, "Select out the valuable items and sell them directly to the Cosmic Galaxy Bank."

"Yes, Master!"

Hei Zhi nodded respectfully without delay, quickly taking out his spatial ring and putting everything on the ground into it.

"Then you can set off." Meng Jingrong waved his hand.

"Yes, Master!"

After bowing respectfully once more, Hei Zhi turned and returned to the crimson spaceship.

As the spaceship's engines started, the crimson light shone again, and the spaceship transformed into a dazzling red aurora, piercing the dark starry sky and disappearing into the distant horizon.

Meng Jingrong's figure also transformed into a streak of light.

Wherever it passed, whether it was panicked civilians or mountains of survival supplies, they all vanished silently, as if wiped away by an invisible hand, leaving only empty cities standing quietly on the planet's surface.

A world ring with a diameter of 100,000 kilometers is considered very small for an immortal powerhouse, yet it can still accommodate more than 100 billion people with extremely spacious interior.

When Meng Jingrong returned to Qingchen Mansion.

An old photograph in Cheng Molin's room disappeared without a trace.

As night deepened, a very soft voice quietly broke the silence.

"Old brother, I wanted to show you the vastness of the universe, but alas..."

A faint, melancholy sigh drifted from the starry sky.

It took a very long time for the wind to disperse it.

Deep in the outer space of the Purple Star, a faint blue light emanates from a deathly darkness.

A massive, dark blue, disc-shaped spaceship slowly appeared, its outer hatch sliding open silently to create a wide entrance.

Meng Jingrong flew inside, and the hatch closed.

Then, the spacecraft plunged into the vast sea of ​​stars.

......

Inside the control room of the dark blue spaceship.

Meng Jingrong, dressed in a white robe, stood in front of the control panel screen.

On the screen, a round, chubby cartoon dog leaps out, which is the virtual form of the intelligent light brain.

It blinked its big, watery eyes, grinned adorably, and said in a clear, melodious voice, "Master, we've already left Ziwei Star."

"Pudding, activate outdoor mode, 100% simulation," Meng Jingrong said.

The adorable name Pudding was chosen by the younger sister, Meng Qinglan, for the intelligent computer.

"brush--"

With a soft sound, the walls, consoles, and all the equipment in the control room vanished instantly, revealing a wide-open view.

Fortunately, I was standing on the ground and could feel its presence.

What came into view was no longer a closed cabin, but a vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

Looking around...

The boundless and vast starry sky.

Turning around to look behind me, I saw a huge blue-green planet—the Purple Star!

"Brother, this is the first time I've left Ziwei Star. I feel a tightness in my chest, an indescribable sadness," Meng Qinglan couldn't help but say.

"Teacher, I've often heard people say 'It's hard to leave one's homeland,' but I never understood it until now, watching the Purple Star gradually recede into the distance. Only now do I truly understand the feeling of longing and yearning." Lin Youfeng looked at the increasingly tiny blue-green planet beneath his feet, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Don't worry, we'll be back."

Meng Jingrong reached out and gently patted his little sister's head, offering words of comfort.

Unlike his younger sister and Lin Youfeng, he has a strong will and can adjust his emotions at any time.

"Master, the countdown has begun. We will reach the speed of light in fifteen seconds!" Pudding's voice turned serious.

"10!"

"9!"

On the screen, the Pudding cartoon puppy image suppressed its smile and began a countdown.

"8!"

"7!"

……

Looking outside, Meng Jingrong saw that as the spaceship's speed continued to increase, the outline of the planet could no longer be seen with the naked eye. He could only see that the surrounding starry sky was completely blurred. Gradually, even those hazy points of light faded away and plunged into darkness.

"Are we about to enter the dark universe?" Meng Jingrong couldn't help but hold his breath, a slight ripple in his heart.

This is a flight speed that he cannot currently achieve.

Humanity's technological level is indeed impressive, with some creations as terrifying as divine bases and black hole weapons, capable of threatening even the weakest cosmic beings.

"3...2...1!" shouted Pudding, the intelligent computer.

In the vast, boundless starry sky, a dark blue spaceship, already blurred, suddenly—

The space rippled slightly.

The next second, the spaceship vanished completely!

This is not a "visual disappearance" that cannot be detected by the naked eye after reaching the speed of light, but a true disappearance into the universe!
