Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primal Tenfold Talent

This is a vast divine kingdom, where towering trees block out the sky, weaving a verdant canopy.

The Phoenix God stood silently atop a colossal tree.

She wore a fiery red dress, her long hair cascading down to her waist like flames, and she exuded a terrifying, immortal-level aura.

At this moment, she was staring blankly at the strange, towering tree in the distance, her eyes filled with awe.

"Truly worthy of being called the Ancestral Star Tree... It's only at the ninth level of the cosmic realm, yet its height reaches 1000 million kilometers, its trunk diameter is a full 20 kilometers, and its thick branches extend in all directions, with a canopy covering a diameter of over 1200 million kilometers!"

The Phoenix God Envoy muttered to himself, his voice still filled with undisguised shock even though his strength was comparable to that of a Universe Venerable.

This is the greatest opportunity she has ever had in her life!

The "Lord of the Ancestral Star" fell in the cosmic sea, and the Ancestral Star Secret Realm was jointly occupied by four top races: humans, demons, machines, and insects, attracting countless powerful individuals.

During the process of the powerful beings of various races developing the secret realm, she relied on her heaven-defying luck to finally obtain the greatest opportunity in the secret realm - a leaf left behind by the Lord of the Ancestral Star during the cosmic era, and a primordial treasure that can nurture thousands of times more genetic clones: the Cosmic Light Nurturing God Pearl.

"Success and failure both stemmed from divine intervention."

The Phoenix God Envoy sighed softly, his tone carrying an indescribable sense of melancholy.

As the strongest member of the Fengwu clan, she has shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the clan since childhood.

Initially, the Fengwu clan was a small and weak group living in a remote cosmic secret realm.

With scarce resources and a harsh cultivation environment, the chances of a powerful immortal being born are extremely slim, and the clan is always in danger of being wiped out by other clans.

By chance, she also obtained the Azure Spirit Envoy's Inheritance Crystal.

After countless hardships, they finally broke through the shackles and achieved immortality, inheriting the position of Azure Spirit Divine Envoy, allowing the Phoenix Clan to barely gain a foothold among the human race.

Hundreds of millions of years have passed since then.

She devoted herself to cultivation and not only comprehended the laws of time, but her strength was even comparable to that of a mid-level universe venerable.

However, the position of Divine Envoy was like an invisible shackle, firmly restricting her path of cultivation and preventing her from ever truly reaching the realm of a Universe Venerable.

She will only have a chance to break through when the limitations of the divine envoy's position are weakened at the end of the primordial universe.

She had heard that there was once a divine messenger among the demon race who possessed extraordinary talent and had comprehended the laws of space at a young age, with strength even comparable to that of a high-ranking Venerable.

In order to escape the limitations of its divine position, it resolutely chose to commit suicide.

Later, it was resurrected by the Demon Ancestor.

It discovered in despair that its position as a divine envoy had not disappeared, but instead transformed into that of a candidate divine envoy. It was still ineligible to become a cosmic venerable, and its strength was even weaker than before...

Therefore, true geniuses of all races in the universe will not choose to cultivate the inherited secret techniques of divine messengers and divine generals to perfection, lest they be bound by their positions of honor and unable to reach higher levels.

For the Phoenix God Envoy, this treasure, the "Cosmic Light Nurturing God Pearl," is worth hundreds of treasure points. After selling it to the clan's treasury, he could easily equip himself with a complete set of treasures.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

In the cold and cruel dark laws of the universe, a child carrying gold through a bustling city will undoubtedly meet a tragic end.

Using the treasure on disciples might cultivate someone who surpasses oneself in the future!

Just as the Phoenix Wu Divine Envoy was lost in thought—

On the massive canopy of the Ancestral Star Tree, a thick branch tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter suddenly snapped and fell from the sky with a whistling sound.

During the fall, the huge branch rapidly contracted and deformed, and amidst the flowing light, it transformed into a stunningly beautiful girl wearing a light blue dress.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling across the surface, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, and she seemed to be surrounded by a gentle glow. A faint smile played on her lips, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"teacher......"

The girl landed lightly, her skirt swaying slightly, and bowed slightly to the Phoenix God Envoy on the tree, her voice clear and crisp like jade striking each other.

Even after the successful creation of her clone, Xi Yue still felt an indescribable shock.

The genetic level of this clone is so terrifying that it is even close to the level of a World Tree of the same level!

Such an incredible opportunity was bestowed upon her by her teacher without reservation.

"You are my only disciple, and therefore the closest person to me in this world. Naturally, I should share my opportunities with you."

The Phoenix God Envoy flew down from the tree and came to stand in front of Xi Yue. Looking at her hesitant expression, he smiled gently.

"The Fengwu tribe has experienced countless hardships and dangers along the way, and has been on the verge of extinction several times."

"Now that the clan is stable, it needs a stronger leader to truly rise again, and you are the hope that your teacher has placed in you!" said the Phoenix God Envoy.

"Teacher, I will definitely not let you down!" Xi Yue's voice was soft, but her eyes were incredibly firm.

"You are the pride of your teachers, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

The Phoenix God Envoy reached out and gently patted Xi Yue's head, his eyes full of affection, before changing the subject.

"One hundred years from now, the Virtual Universe Company will hold a battle for the strongest warriors in the universe. At that time, you will use this ninth-tier tree avatar to participate in the competition."

"Teacher, my true self has been a World Lord for over 70,000 years. Why do I still need to use an avatar to participate in a universe-level competition?" Xi Yue's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

"Ha ha!"

The Phoenix God Envoy laughed loudly, "You are unaware of this, but this is the first Universal Peak Powerhouse Battle of the human race, unprecedented in its scale. It is said that the oldest being among the human race is also secretly watching this grand event."

"If you can stand out in the competition and attract the attention of that being, and are fortunate enough to become her disciple, you might truly have a chance to become a pillar-level powerhouse of the human race!"

The Phoenix Wu Divine Envoy raised his head, gazing at the ancestral star tree in the distance that blotted out the sky, his voice filled with boundless expectation and longing: "At that time, my Phoenix Wu clan will also rise completely because of you, and become truly great..."

......

Planet Aiur is a planet with a mix of white and brown. The white is the layer of clouds and mist that never dissipates, while the dark brown is the base color of the mountains and continents.

In the western part of the planet, there stands a luxurious palace that stretches for hundreds of kilometers.

The palace is garrisoned by over ten thousand guards and hundreds of thousands of servants. It is one of the twelve branches of the infamous slave organization 'Fenglei Pavilion'.

"Master, the second team has detected a brand new life-bearing planet in the Henghe Starfield. Should we immediately begin the capture operation?"

Inside the magnificent and extravagant hall, a burly man knelt on both knees, looking respectfully at the Pavilion Master "Black Pheasant" on the throne.

"What's the situation inside the planet?" Black Pheasant casually stroked his female companion beside him and asked in a relaxed tone.

"The planet has a diameter of 12.6 kilometers, and a total population of 1536 billion, including 18 constant-level life forms and 5120 planetary-level life forms..."

The burly man hurriedly reported, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of fear.

"The operation is suspended for now. You may leave."

The black pheasant's lips curled slightly, and a glint of light flashed in its gloomy eyes.

Such a large indigenous planet, teeming with so many native inhabitants, is quite rare in the universe.

"Yes." The burly man bowed respectfully again, not daring to raise his head, and slowly withdrew from the hall.

"My little darling, you are truly my lucky star."

The black pheasant's ugly face was full of smiles, and his voice was extremely soft and sweet as he gently stroked the fox girl's head beside him.

Just as the fox-woman was about to speak in a flattering manner, a muffled explosion suddenly rang out.

Her head was casually crushed by the black pheasant, and blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground.

"hey-hey……"

A chilling smile appeared on Black Pheasant's face. He casually wiped his hands on his robe, then his expression turned serious as he respectfully dialed a virtual universe contact number.

A moment later, a golden-armored phantom appeared in the center of the hall.

He was about ten feet tall, dressed in golden armor, with a handsome and imposing figure and an awe-inspiring presence.

"Black Pheasant, what do you want?"

The golden-armored figure's aura was far inferior to that of the black pheasant, yet his tone carried a condescending sense of superiority.

"Your Highness, I greet you!"

Black Pheasant immediately knelt on one knee, his tone extremely obsequious, "Our tribe has discovered a planet inhabited by native life. I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in initiating the 'Planetary Trial'?"

"Send me the coordinates."

The golden-armored figure nodded slightly and gave the black pheasant a smile.

"Then your subordinate will await Your Highness's arrival on the native planet!"

Before Black Pheasant could finish speaking, the golden-armored figure had already severed the communication.

......

Beyond the Purple Star, the boundless sea of ​​stars is like ink spilled on an inkstone.

Two spaceships with very different designs appeared out of thin air.

"What a beautiful planet."

Inside the control room of the crimson cone-shaped spaceship.

Seven figures of varying shapes and sizes stood beside Mu Feng; some had green faces and fangs, some were as strong as oxen, and some were slender.

Mu Feng, clad in golden armor, closed his eyes slightly, sniffed the air, and exclaimed with barely suppressed excitement, "It's so beautiful, so mesmerizing! I love this planet!"

"Your Highness!"

In the center of the control room, the holographic screen suddenly lit up.

A phantom image of a loli with pigtails leaped onto the surface, and a clear, bell-like voice broke the brief silence: "According to the feedback from the quantum detector, the target planet is elliptical with a diameter of 12.62 kilometers, with an error of no more than 0.01%."

37% of the planet's surface is land, spanned by three giant continental plates; 63% is water, with the deepest trench reaching 3960 kilometers. The planet's surface gravity is only 0.18 cosmic standard gravity units, and its atmosphere contains 21% oxygen. Its overall technological level is a Type II civilization, and there are currently nineteen astronomical life forms...

The spaceship's AI, "Ailiya," spoke at an extremely fast pace, displaying strings of data in a holographic projection that floated in front of Mu Feng, precise and detailed.

"There's one more celestial-level insect."

Mu Feng waved casually and dialed Hei Zhi's number.

"brush!"

A phantom appeared, and Hei Zhi knelt on one knee, head bowed, hands clasped in front of his chest, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Mu Feng raised his hand in a gesture of approval, and the people around him either leaned against the wall or crossed their arms, all looking at Hei Zhi with admiration in their eyes.

"Kurokichi, you did a good job this time."

Qingyun's dark face was already quite ugly, but at this moment he showed a bit of kindness towards Hei Zhi.

"It is my honor to serve you gentlemen." After standing up, Hei Zhi bowed slightly to everyone.

"What are the rules of this 'game'?" Lei Shan, a burly man, asked Mu Feng, who was in charge.
