Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

Half a month later, a massive migration involving hundreds of billions of people on Ziwei Star was successfully completed.

The once barren planet has now been transformed into a vibrant and thriving place.

And on this day of universal celebration and jubilation.

A deep blue, saucer-shaped spaceship silently departed...

......

The Flame Dragon Universe Kingdom, on the edge of the Nine Luminaries Starfield.

The ten neighboring star systems, including the Tiannan and Qinghe star systems, together form the Yunhe Empire, a nascent civilization in the universe!

And Yunhe Star is the ruling planet of this civilization.

The silver spaceship pierced through the atmosphere, and through the virtual exterior view, Meng Jingrong immediately saw a huge technological city below, with city walls stretching to the horizon, so magnificent it was breathtaking.

The city is surrounded by four huge docking ports, which are densely packed with countless spaceships of varying sizes.

Small spaceships are only tens of meters or even a dozen meters long, while large transport ships and interstellar cargo ships are often tens of thousands of meters long, standing like towering steel mountains.

"That...that's a Class D spaceship?"

Inside the harbor, the staff stopped and looked up, their eyes fixed on the giant silver ship in the sky, their faces filled with shock.

In a primitive civilization like Yunhe Star, it might take decades to see even one Class D spaceship.

"My lord, please come with me."

A streak of purple light rose from the depths of the harbor, respectfully guiding the silver spaceship toward its designated landing area.

That was a special area within the harbor, open and spacious, with no other spaceships docked there, clearly reserved for distinguished figures.

"call--"

The silver spaceship descended slowly and finally landed.

The hatch slowly opened.

"Teacher, the gravity of this planet is about twice that of Ziwei Star."

Lin Youfeng was the first to step out of the cabin and instantly felt the change in gravity.

"Wow, is this an alien planet?"

Meng Qinglan cautiously peeked out, her dark eyes curiously surveying the unfamiliar surroundings.

Meng Jingrong turned his head and saw a burly man in a gold uniform flying rapidly towards him.

This person was about three meters tall, with a round head and his entire body covered in a unique purple skin.

His gaze swept over Meng Jingrong and his group subtly before settling respectfully on Meng Jingrong, whereupon he bowed in greeting.

"My lord, welcome to Cloud River Star."

The burly man wore a warm smile and clearly stated in fluent, standard universal language, "This is your berthing card. You can enjoy all the services offered by the berthing port free of charge."

As soon as he finished speaking, he presented Meng Jingrong with an exquisite gold card held in both hands.

The card's surface is shimmering and colorful, with the "D" logo representing the spaceship clearly printed in the center, simply and strikingly highlighting the spaceship's uniqueness.

"Here you go."

Meng Jingrong smiled as he took the card, and with a flick of his wrist, a faintly glowing cosmic coin appeared in his palm. He casually tossed it toward the burly man with purple skin.

"Thank you, sir!"

The burly man caught the cosmic coin steadily with both hands, his respect on his face growing even stronger, and a hint of flattered joy appearing in his eyes.

As the person in charge of the port, he rarely served personally, but the tip given casually by the important figure in front of him was equivalent to his entire year's salary.

Meng Jingrong nodded slightly.

Then it took off and flew towards the huge city ahead, carrying Meng Qinglan and Lin Youfeng.

"The clouds over Yunhe Star are so beautiful!"

During the flight, Meng Qinglan looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds on the clear sky were shimmering with seven colors under the sunlight, flowing slowly like a galaxy, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

"It's really good." Meng Jingrong followed her gaze and nodded slightly.

Although the Cloud River Empire is only a primitive civilization in the universe, there are more than seven million habitable planets within its ten star systems.

The vast star field has nurtured a variety of beautiful ecological landscapes, and Yunhe Star, as the ruling star, naturally boasts stunning scenery.

In a short while, Meng Jingrong and his group arrived at the city entrance.

This is an enormous city. The city walls are bluish-gray, and the walls stretch out in a continuous, undulating pattern, like a giant dragon coiled up, extending to the horizon!

The city gate alone is several kilometers wide, magnificent and imposing.

The city gate walls are carved with a variety of exquisite patterns, including surging Milky Ways and soaring mythical beasts. The three gilded characters "Yunhe City" on the city wall shine brightly in the sunlight.

"This is the first time I've seen such a big city!"

Lin Youfeng landed on the ground with Meng Jingrong, looked up at the huge city, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

The gray-blue city wall alone is hundreds of meters high, thick and ancient, with traces of the passage of time still remaining on its surface.

The entire city stretches to the horizon, with no end in sight. Its overwhelming grandeur, intertwined with the ancient atmosphere accumulated over time, evokes a sense of insignificance.

"Yunhe City is nearly 5000 kilometers long and wide."

With a thought, Meng Jingrong unleashed an invisible mental force that rapidly extended like tentacles, instantly revealing the exact size of the city.

In his previous life, Meng Jingrong could only understand a small part of the "world-devouring" phenomenon based on a few words in the original work.

The vastness of the universe and the diversity and brilliance of civilizations have always remained only in vague imagination, without any direct understanding.

Now, as he officially stepped into this vast and magnificent human territory, even the capital of a mere nascent civilization displayed unimaginable prosperity.

Within the city, towering buildings pierce the sky like swords, while shimmering, floating traffic flows...

The immersive and awe-inspiring experience is beyond description; it's as if the boundaries of one's entire understanding are completely expanded and reshaped the moment one steps into Cloud River City.

This is only a rudimentary civilization, yet you can see Eternal Star level experts everywhere on the streets. On Ziwei Star, with thousands of years of history, only a few dozen Eternal Star level experts have been born.

"Brother, where do we go next?"

Meng Qinglan looked around curiously, then turned to look at Meng Jingrong beside her.

"First, go and become a citizen of Yunhe."

Meng Jingrong calmly swept his gaze across the bustling crowd ahead, his mental power sweeping out like invisible tentacles, precisely locking onto the towering, silver-white building in the distance.

Having citizenship is essential for venturing into the universe.

The saying goes: "Without legal status, you can't move an inch."

This is particularly evident in the use of the virtual universe: if you do not have a nationality, you can only log in as a guest through an "anonymous helmet". Not only will many core functions be unavailable, but even basic interstellar trade will be subject to some restrictions.

Of course, for a "cosmic-level powerhouse," it doesn't make much difference whether they are from a higher or lower civilization; their own strength is their greatest source of confidence when traversing the universe.

After successfully completing the citizenship procedures, Meng Jingrong and his entourage went to the "Real Estate Transaction Center" in Yunhe City.

This trading center is a magnificent pyramid-shaped castle, constructed entirely of rare star-patterned jade.

At the castle entrance, two burly men with purple skin, nearly six meters tall, stood like iron towers.

As they sensed Meng Jingrong's unfathomable life force, the two giants stood ramrod straight, humble smiles on their faces, and together pushed open the heavy alloy door, bowing and saying, "Please come in, sir."

Meng Jingrong nodded slightly, and the group calmly entered the castle.

As soon as I entered the castle, a graceful figure flew towards me.

She was a woman with snow-white cat ears, like a flower fairy from a myth.

A pair of translucent energy wings unfolded behind her, leaving faint trails of fluorescent light as they flapped.

Approaching Meng Jingrong, she bowed slightly, her voice sweet and melodious, "My lord, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I need to buy a manor."

Meng Jingrong spoke in a flat tone.

"manor?"

A clear look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the receptionist, Shu Yue.

It should be noted that Yunhe City, as the capital of the Yunhe Empire, enjoys a unique geographical location, where cosmic resources converge, making it incredibly valuable.

The properties in the city are divided into four categories: ordinary residences, villas, castles, and manors.

Ordinary residential buildings are the most numerous and relatively affordable, mainly for the ordinary staff who maintain the daily operation of Yunhe City.

Villas occupy at least tens of thousands of square meters, with complete supporting facilities, and are mostly purchased by high-level, eternal star-level powerhouses.

The castle is much larger, spanning several kilometers in length and width, and contains a rudimentary energy defense array. The vast majority of its inhabitants are renowned cosmic-level powerhouses.

In the entire Cloud River City, there are only five manors, each measuring 99 kilometers in length and width. Inside, there are not only naturally formed energy springs and D-level cultivation chambers, but also top-level star defense arrays, whose defensive strength is sufficient to withstand the full-force bombardment of a cosmic-level powerhouse.

Apart from one being occupied by a Domain Lord-level ruler, two of the remaining four have already been taken by a ninth-tier Universe-level powerhouse.

"Sir, this way please."

Shu Yue couldn't hide her joy, but she maintained a professional and polite smile on her face and quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

After walking several dozen meters along the luxurious passageway paved with star marrow jade bricks, Shu Yue stopped and pushed open the alloy door of a large hall. The metal door hinges turned silently, exuding luxury.

This is an extremely spacious hall, with no superfluous decorations inside, except for five exquisite miniature manor models suspended in the central area.

Three of the models were covered with a faint gray halo, with the universal rune of "sold" faintly visible on their surfaces, clearly indicating that they had already been sold.

The other two, however, gleamed with a faint but clear light, indicating that they were still awaiting sale.

"My lord, these three manors already have owners."

Shu Yue walked slowly to the model and introduced the two manors for sale to Meng Jingrong in a gentle voice.
