Swallowing the Stars: The System Bound the Wrong Person at the Start

"Your Majesty, with my current abilities, I can only develop nine green-eyed descendants. But if we bite immortal powerhouses with our fangs and inject their heart's essence, we can transform them into red-eyed zombies with ten thousand times the genetic power." Ya reported truthfully, making no attempt to conceal the Pangu clan's heaven-defying destiny.

She then went on to explain the profound mysteries of the Pangu Clan's innate secret techniques, "Perfect Creature" and "Undying Divine Body."

Upon hearing Ya's account, the Zerg Queen was filled with astonishment. With just a light bite of her fangs and a drop of her heart's essence, she could conjure up a bloodline inheritance that possessed an immortal body at the Marquis level and perfect genes; even more unbelievable was that this could actually increase Ya's soul core from 10,000 to 10,801.

In the eyes of the Zerg Queen, this race called "Pangu" was flawless, as perfect as the most favored child of the primordial universe. She could not find even the slightest flaw.

Is the blood-sucking survival of the descendants of Pangu a disadvantage? No. In this primordial universe, where the strong prey on the weak and it's like raising poisonous insects, it's not a disadvantage at all, but rather a huge advantage. After all, how can one command the respect of all races and deter enemies from provoking them if they aren't born fierce and bloodthirsty?

After much deliberation, the Zerg Queen finally chose to believe. Within her private mini-universe, everything about Ya was under her absolute perception; neither the transformation of her physical body nor the flow of her soul could be concealed. Moreover, there was no trace of enslavement deep within Ya's soul, which was sufficient proof that the Pangu lineage truly existed.

Having made up her mind, the Zerg Queen immediately summoned an immortal Zerg Queen—the very same one Luo Feng encountered in the extraterrestrial battlefield in the original story, whose strength was close to that of the invincible King-level Nan Cheng. In addition, she also summoned two World Lord-level Queens who had achieved perfect comprehension of the laws and could break through to immortality at any time by consuming resources.

Without further ado, Ya stepped forward, her fangs piercing Nan Cheng's neck with precision, a drop of her heart's blood flowing into him, before calmly retreating.

In an instant, an intensely dense crimson energy completely enveloped Nan Cheng. The Zerg hive she had stored in her world ring instantly appeared, collapsing and merging under the influence of the crimson energy. Nan Cheng's figure shrank rapidly under the reshaping effect of the energy, eventually solidifying into a blood-red cocoon with a diameter of three meters.

"Your Majesty, the next stage is the gestation period," Ya explained. "When I was transformed into a pure Pangu, the gestation period lasted a thousand years. Since Nan Cheng is immortal, it will likely also take a thousand years to evolve into a red-eyed zombie king with ten thousand times the genetic power. At that time, her physical body will completely revert to flesh and blood, and her soul will disperse into every atom of her body. Each atom will contain pure immortal divine power, and the divine power stored in a single atom will be equivalent to the sum of all her divine power before her transformation."

The Zerg Queen nodded slightly, saying nothing more. Within her miniature universe, it was not difficult to manipulate the flow of time in any region, accelerating it by 10,081 times. A thousand-year gestation period here would only require thirty-six days.

Just as the Zerg Queen was waiting for Nan Cheng to emerge from his cocoon, a world-ending storm suddenly swept across the human race's territory.

Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Black Dragon Mountain Star Region, Milky Way Galaxy.

The Milky Way galaxy is now completely under He Xi's control through an almost miraculous means. Using her divine talent, "God," she created a wondrous object called the "Cosmic Disc." Named by Chen Yang, this object can continuously draw energy from stars and the universe.

Deep within over a hundred billion stars, a Universe Disc was implanted. Each disc required the equivalent of one unit of Chaos Divine Source in silver coins. To cover the entire Milky Way with Universe Discs, He Xi consumed a staggering 180 billion silver coins in divine source.

However, the Cosmic Disc is not merely a power source for the "Heavenly Book"; it is also a top-tier detector specially designed by He Xi. Each Cosmic Disc can easily capture all activity within an entire galaxy.

Furthermore, the space-based warships equipped with miniature celestial computers on the 214,276 inhabited planets within the Milky Way galaxy underwent a comprehensive upgrade. Each warship consumed ten gold coins' worth of divine essence, elevating it to the level of a common palace treasure. He Xi also constructed wormhole bridges for traversal within all the space-based palaces, a project that cost approximately three hundred jade coins.

Thus, the entire Milky Way galaxy has been forged into an impregnable fortress. Within its territory, comprehensive and seamless surveillance is constantly maintained by the Heavenly Book of Knowledge.

After thoroughly solidifying the defenses and energy systems of the main base, He Xi finally had the time to execute the long-planned scheme—to liberate the slaves and harvest their faith.

Earth has now been officially renamed "Earthly Immortal Realm". Previously, Wu Zetian had written to He Xi, arguing that Earth, as the core of Pangu's territory, was too ordinary and lacked majesty with its old name. After consulting Chen Yang, He Xi readily agreed and issued a renaming announcement within the Void God Realm.

At this moment, above the Kunlun Divine Palace in the Earthly Immortal Realm, inside a celestial palace of the highest level of treasure.

He Xi, with her cascading silver hair, sat quietly on the throne, dressed in an elegant blue and white lace dress. Her eyes were slightly closed, and the gene engine within her body was deeply connected to the Heavenly Book of Knowledge.

A voice similar to He Xi's, yet with a mechanical and cold quality, echoed within the palace:

"The Heavenly Book of Knowledge Treasury allocates 2% of its computing power, consuming 15 gold coins of divine energy, to conduct a deep scan and exploration of the human race's territory. Target selection criteria: resentful slaves. Confirmation complete."

"Eliminating the target slave chip... Transmitting the name 'Pangu'... Implanting the legend of Pangu... Setting a soul lock: the target cannot reveal any information about Pangu in any form."

"Operation complete. Detecting the target's faith purity, and returning a 1/10,000 ratio to boost the target's cultivation level."

He Xi slowly opened her eyes. Her icy blue eyes seemed to sparkle with stars, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, exuding a pure and aloof air, without a trace of coquetry.

As she felt the surging power of faith within the treasure trove of heavenly knowledge, her mind remained undisturbed. The continuous flow of faith and intention was transformed by her divine essence into pure divine energy.

Supported by the vast stellar energy of the Milky Way, no additional divine energy is needed unless a deep scan is performed. The Heavenly Book of Knowledge Treasury, relying solely on the energy of over 180 billion stars within the Milky Way, is sufficient to conduct rough, real-time monitoring of the entire human territory.

Her actions have just triggered a chain reaction within the human territory that can be described as "divine punishment."

Inside a spaceship in a star system of the Noah Universe, in the deathly silent slave cabins, thousands of ragged slaves huddled numbly in a corner. Suddenly, the slave chips that had imprisoned them for hundreds or thousands of years shattered with an invisible shockwave!

There was no pain, only an extreme terror of the soul being completely liberated.

At the same time, a grand, compassionate, and majestic voice, like a resounding bell, boomed deep within their consciousness, transforming into an indelible divine oracle:

"Pangu, in his compassion for all living beings, grants you the opportunity to break free from your shackles. In my name, I bestow upon you power. Gods cannot be named, nor can they be presumptuously speculated upon, nor should they be revealed to others in the slightest."

With the divine decree, the slaves' faith in the god Pangu arose spontaneously, and streams of pure, extreme power surged into their limbs and bones like a burst dam. Their once withered and emaciated bodies instantly filled out, and their dried-up genetic locks were violently blasted open. Many devout believers broke through to the Domain Lord realm in an instant, while those who fell into fanaticism directly crossed the shackles and stepped into the Realm Lord realm!

God loves the world and wishes to give back to all beings with His power.

Of course, this method of forcibly elevating cultivation levels using divine energy is not without its risks. They must calm their minds and repair their foundations before they can continue to advance. But for these slaves who originally had no future in sight, these side effects are negligible.

"God...bless you!"

Someone let out a suppressed roar, which then transformed into a frenzied howl that resounded throughout the entire spaceship.

"kill!!"

The slaves, reborn with bloodshot eyes, resembled vengeful demons crawling out of hell. Those slave owners and guards who had once held them high above, treating them like pigs and dogs, were torn to shreds by this frenzied torrent before they could even scream. Their blood, splattered on the cold bulkheads, became the most devout offering to the gods.

Such scenes are playing out simultaneously on countless planets at the same time.

In an instant, countless planets within human territory were plunged into utter chaos. Countless once cruel and ruthless families were swiftly and decisively wiped out by the newly reborn and powerful slaves. The slave owners were horrified to discover that their prized heritage was as fragile as paper before the avengers blessed by the gods.

In the original story, the Dutuo Starfield, where the Blood Demon King resided, became a disaster zone. Because Chen Yang harbored disgust for the Blood Demon King, He Xi conveniently cleansed the soul imprints of all his soul servants. Whether they were immortal soul servants or Blood Demon warriors below immortality, all were reborn in an instant.

Caught completely off guard, the Blood Demon King was severely injured and fell into a coma under the siege of dozens or even hundreds of immortal powerhouses, completely losing control of his territory.

At this moment, the entire human realm of the universe was in complete chaos, like a boiling pot of porridge.

At the heart of all this storm, He Xi remained seated on the throne of the Heavenly Palace, sensing the ever-increasing divine energy emanating from the Divine Source. Her icy blue eyes gazed down upon the Milky Way, like a true deity, silently watching the destruction and rebirth that she herself had created, sweeping across the universe.

Thirty-six days passed within the miniature universe, a mere blink of an eye for the Zerg Queen, who had lived through countless eons.

The moment the flow of time returned to normal, the blood-red cocoon that had stood in the Queen's Palace for thirty-six days suddenly began to tremble violently.

"Click—"

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the silent Queen's Palace, as if some ancient seal had been forcibly torn apart. Immediately afterwards, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the surface of the blood cocoon at a visible speed, and a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble violently overflow from the cracks, even causing the surrounding space to slightly distort and groan under this power.

"Bang!"

The blood cocoon exploded with a roar, and crimson energy swept across the sky like a storm.

Amidst the swirling crimson energy, a slender and alluring figure slowly emerged. It was no longer the form of the Zerg Queen, but a perfectly formed human body, with breathtaking beauty and a graceful figure.

Nan Cheng's eyes were crimson like blood-red crystals. He bared his fangs and let out a roar that echoed throughout the Queen's palace.

The roar, like a dragon or a tiger, swept across the surroundings with immense majesty and power, causing the blood of every living being present to boil and burn, even those immortal powerhouses whose bodies had transformed into immortal divine power and become energy bodies. That suppression and yearning originating from the depths of their blood made them involuntarily want to submit, wanting to offer their loyalty and blood.

Even the Zerg Queen, who sat upon her throne in the Queen's Palace and had already ascended to the status of a true god, was affected. A look of disbelief and shock flashed in her exquisite eyes, and her slender fingers unconsciously tightened their grip on the armrests of the throne. As a true god, she had long since transcended the shackles of bloodline, yet at this moment, an indescribable tremor surged from the depths of her soul—not fear, but a throbbing sensation from the very source of life.

"This is... a red-eyed zombie king with ten thousand times the genetic power?" the Zerg Queen murmured, her voice trembling slightly, a tremor she herself was unaware of.

Within the miniature universe, she could clearly see the changes Nan Cheng underwent after breaking free of his cocoon: his body transformed into flesh and blood, yet its physical strength rivaled that of a top-tier treasure. All ten thousand soul cores transformed into countless soul particles, merging into every atom of his body, each atom containing immense, immortal divine power.

Now, what governs Nan Cheng's physical body is not Nan Cheng's soul, but Nan Cheng's will. She could feel it clearly: as long as Nan Cheng's will was not completely annihilated, then even if both his physical body and soul were completely destroyed, Nan Cheng could reassemble himself through his will.

Is this the talent Ya mentioned, "Undying Divine Body"? It's powerful, even to the point of being unreasonable.

The Zerg Queen looked at Nan Cheng: The Zerg hive that had been re-condensed into the Origin Pearl, that had expanded to a trillion kilometers within its body, was clearly a completely different entity from the original one, and had undergone a powerful transformation.

Nan Cheng slowly gathered her breath, her blood-red eyes gradually returning to calm. She knelt on one knee, bowing her head to the Zerg Queen, her voice low and hoarse, yet filled with unprecedented excitement and ecstasy:

"Your humble servant, Nan Cheng, pays his respects to Your Majesty. I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's grace in granting me this opportunity and a new life."

The Zerg Queen took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart. Looking at Nan Cheng kneeling on the ground, feeling the vast, ocean-like divine power within him, and the perfect genetic structure that even moved her, a true god, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her lips.

"Very good." Her voice regained its usual composure and authority. "From this day forward, you are the first Red-Eyed Zombie King of my Zerg faction. Adapt well to your new power, and then..."

Her gaze pierced through the dome of the Queen's Palace, as if she could see the storms about to rage in the distant territories of the other three races.

"...There are many more battlefields waiting for you."
