Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Milky Way.

Earth.

Boundless void.

Wow.

Shen Ping appeared out of thin air, his eyes looking down at the blue planet before him, his pupils revealing a heroic spirit.

Since embarking on the path of genetic martial arts, more than 100,000 years have passed (not counting the space acceleration of Tianhuo Peak), and I have finally broken through to the level of universe master!

Moreover, with a life gene level 4 times that of Earth's human body, if he so desired, he could now cause the divine kingdom to undergo a transformation, evolving into a miniature universe, and thus becoming a true god.

In this primordial universe and cosmic sea.

The strongest in the universe stands at the very pinnacle.

Open the virtual window.

He had intended to reminisce about the various rewards he had received from his humble beginnings to his current status, but he was astonished to find that the family virtual frame had a second page, and it was a golden page at that.

You become the master of the universe, unveiling the second chapter of your family's history: the ancient path.

[Random reward: Upgrade to a special treasure]

[The Platform for Asking Questions Transforms: Now Capable of Accommodating 30 Clan Members]

[Current family members: 10157 trillion]

[Venerable One: None]

[Evaluation: An ancient family that started with difficulties]

His gaze swept over the entire area.

Shen Ping's eyes lit up immediately. He hadn't expected that the family's golden finger would have a second chapter. This was a pleasant surprise. However, judging from the meaning of this chapter, it seemed that he should focus on developing the strength of the family members. As for the rewards, he guessed that they should be related to special treasures.

"Haha, I knew it! Relying solely on rewards like foundation, reputation, assets, and prestige, and even with my personal strength continuously improving, it's simply impossible for the family to reach the level of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom or the Leiting Ancient Kingdom on the Origin Continent... Now that there's a second chapter, we finally see a glimmer of hope!"

The power of the family.

One cannot go far by relying solely on one person's strength; the drawbacks are too great. The human race is a good example. If we compare the human race to a large family, then the original ancestor was the head of this family.

In the era when the Primordial Ancestor dominated the Cosmic Sea, the human race was glorious and prosperous. The demon race, the mechanical race, the insect race, and even the Ancestral God Cult had to give way. However, after the Primordial Ancestor was suppressed, the strength of the race declined sharply. Although they did not fall out of the top race tier, they had to keep a low profile. Even though the Giant Axe clearly had the strength, it did not dare to unleash its power in the Cosmic Sea.

Only after acquiring the supreme treasure, the Giant Axe, could they barely suppress the Divine Eye Clan with impunity.

same.

The same applies to the Shen family.

Furthermore, it is even worse than the situation of the human race back then, and there is not even a single Universe Venerable to this day. Although it is because of the short time that has passed, the opening of the second chapter undoubtedly proves Shen Ping's previous guess.

"It seems that becoming the master of the universe is the true beginning of the family's development!"

"The Ancient Path... Not bad. Let's see if I, Shen Ping, can lead the Shen family out of the primordial universe, out of the cosmic sea, and achieve the Ancient Path!"

This moment.

Shen Ping was full of vigor and enthusiasm.

Returning to the majestic palace suspended in the boundless void, he connected his consciousness to the virtual universe and arrived at the summit of Thunder Island in Rain Phase Mountain.

"Master, your disciple has officially broken through to the level of Universe Lord!"

Standing in the spacious hall of the Ice Peak Palace.

He bowed and said.

The Lord of Ice Peaks was taken aback, then a smile appeared on his handsome silver-haired face. "Good, very good, disciple. Now that you have broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, your divine power is the same as mine. You have also created the strongest secret technique for the Lord of the Universe, and the treasures you use are even better than mine. I believe your strength is no weaker than your Uncle-Master Chaos. What are your plans next?"

He was genuinely happy to have such a disciple.

If word gets out...

A disciple being stronger than his master is not only a praiseworthy story, but also a source of great pride for the Lord of Ice Peak.

Shen Ping said, "Teacher, my main body intends to remain on the Primordial Star, while this avatar of Lord Yan Huo is preparing to leave the Primordial Universe to explore the Cosmic Sea. Previously, Lord Yan Huo's avatar only explored the outer domain of the Qingfeng Realm. Now that I have broken through to the Universe Lord level, my strength has greatly increased. Relying on my supreme treasure, which is no weaker than any other Universe Lord power in the Cosmic Sea, I want to explore the inner domain of the Qingfeng Realm!"

"Perhaps by chance, I will be able to obtain another supreme treasure."

He said this to give the Lord of Ice Peak a heads-up.

The Lord of Ice Peak chuckled, "Supreme treasures... Your disciple has a good idea. The three forbidden lands do indeed have supreme treasures, but they are rarely born in the inner domain. They can only be obtained in the core. However, with your strength, you are strong enough to venture into the inner domain."

"But you still need to be careful. If you encounter a powerful figure from the first era of reincarnation, avoid them if possible. Although you possess the most powerful treasure, these powerful figures are ruthless, and accidents are inevitable. Of course, you shouldn't be afraid to fight when the time comes. We powerful beings are meant to be tempered in blood and fire to find the path to becoming the strongest in the universe!"

Shen Ping nodded repeatedly, "Yes, teacher."

Leave the Ice Peak Palace.

He went straight to the palace of the Dream Maiden.

Congratulations, junior brother.

"Palace Mistress Mengluo said with a smile, her eyes also showing joy."

Shen Ping laughed heartily, "Third Senior Sister, now that I am the Lord of the Universe, I am itching to do it. Didn't you say before that you wanted to ask the Lord of the Universe of our clan to revive Ai Chen? Then I will revive him. It's a good opportunity for me to test my time travel techniques."

Palace Master Mengluo's eyes brightened slightly. "It would be wonderful if Junior Brother were willing to help."

Even if she is the ruler of the universe.

If you want to pay homage to the Lord of the Universe, you have to find Master Bingfeng, but the Lord of Bingfeng is currently venturing into the Universe Sea and will not be able to return for a while.

soon.

Shen Ping first met up with Palace Master Mengluo through the divine kingdom teleportation, and then arrived at the territory of the Mengluo Winged Clan, the Mengluo Starfield.

Standing in a beautiful square.

Palace Master Mengluo said softly, "Junior Brother, Ai Chen appeared here hundreds of years ago."

Shen Ping nodded, then gestured for Palace Mistress Mengluo to leave.

Splash!

The means of controlling time and space have spread and enveloped this region.

Soon, the scene began to flash and rewind continuously, like watching a videotape in reverse. Scene after scene, figure after figure appearing in the square, were constantly moving backward. This time-reversal scene was all illusory; only Shen Ping himself was real.

Splash!

When time stands still.

He saw Ai Chen standing in the square.

"Come back!"

An invisible force enveloped Ai Chen, and then the universe's self-healing power continued to act on Ai Chen, which was a backlash. Each wave could easily kill Ai Chen, but this backlash was like a tickle to Shen Ping's human body on Earth.

With a divine power level 40,000 times that of a Universe Lord and a divine body exceeding one million kilometers in diameter, he could withstand not only the resurrection of a King-level Immortal, but also the resurrection of a Universe Overlord. It should be noted that many Universe Lords are unable to resurrect Universe Overlords, mainly due to the constant backlash that can cause even Universe Lords to perish.

Only the strongest in the universe can withstand it.

A short while later.

With white wings, Ai Chen, as pure and innocent as an angel, appeared in the square.

She was somewhat bewildered.

now.

Palace Mistress Mengluo walked over.

Ai Chen hurriedly bowed, "Greetings, Holy Ancestor Mengluo."

The Palace Mistress Mengluo said calmly, "Aichen, you have died once. Now I have asked the Lord of the Nine Rings to reverse time and resurrect you."

Ai Chen gasped as a flood of memories rushed back. She frowned slightly. "Yes, I perished on the battlefield outside the domain."

At this moment, Shen Ping smiled and said, "Ai Chen, it's been a long time."

Ai Chen blinked, saw Shen Ping, and exclaimed, "You, you're Shen Ping?!"

Palace Mistress Mengluo said in a low voice, "This is the Lord of the Nine Rings, the cosmic lord of our human race. He must not be presumptuous."

Shen Ping waved his hand. "It's alright. Ai Chen and I are both geniuses from the same year. Alright, now that she has been resurrected, there's nothing more for me to do here. Third Senior Sister, let's talk again when we have time."

After saying that, he disappeared.

Ai Chen was completely bewildered and shocked.

Of course she knew that Shen Ping and Luo Feng were the most outstanding among the geniuses of the same year, and she also knew that they had gone to the extraterritorial battlefield early on and made a great name for themselves. However, since they entered the Ancestral God Sect's Purple Thorn Island, many of the information was no longer available to geniuses like her.

Even research and discussion conferences on virtual universes are now held only once every few thousand years.

Moreover, even if one were to meet Shen Ping, one would not know the other's strength.

I never expected that I would actually break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe!

"Aichen, you're lucky this time. You're a genius in the same generation as the Lord of the Nine Rings, and he resurrected you for free. But that might not be the case next time. You must be extra careful when you venture into the outer battlefields or cosmic secret realms in the future."

As the Palace Mistress Mengluo spoke, she flipped her palm over and said, "This is a great treasure. Refine it."

"Heavy treasure?!"

Ai Chen's eyes widened. This was a treasure that would cause countless King-level Immortals to fight over in the outer battlefield. "Holy Ancestor Mengluo, I, I..."

Palace Mistress Mengluo said calmly, "Alright, it is your good fortune to be able to know the Lord of the Nine Rings. You should accept this treasure. With it, I believe you will grow faster in the future."

She didn't believe that Shen Ping had only come to revive Ai Chen because he was itching to do so; he must have acted out of consideration for their shared classmate relationship to reverse time.

……

The original star.

I felt an endless sense of constraint and pressure.

Shen Ping's gaze was deep, and a vast and powerful spatial pressure descended, enveloping the entire primordial star. Compared to activating the Golden Sand Domain, a supreme treasure of the domain type, this control over spacetime was more at will and did not require much divine power.

Then he raised his palm.

A large number of golden particles spread out simultaneously, and when combined with the control over space and time, the resulting suppression became even more terrifying.

And break through to become the master of the universe.

When he activated the Golden Sand Domain again, he felt very relaxed simply by using his divine power. Unlike before, when he had to burn his divine body to unleash its full power, now he only needed to burn 1% of his divine body to unleash the full power of the Golden Sand Domain.

"If I were to encounter the Flame Emperor again, I could kill him using only this Golden Sand Domain!"

Shen Ping was extremely confident.

Yan Di was only a top-tier third-order universe master, and there were three major levels between him and a sixth-order universe master. In the Devouring Starry Sky, two major levels would almost certainly kill him. If it were four major levels, such as a top-tier fifth-order universe master killing a first-order universe master, it would be an instant kill.

When Luo Feng killed the barely fifth-tier Linxing Lord, he killed him in one move.

"My current weakness lies primarily in the fact that my self-created secret techniques are too weak, merely at the fourth level. According to Duan Donghe's lineage... more than half of Duan Donghe's inheritors can create seventh-level secret techniques for the Lord of the Universe; and only the two patriarchs throughout history have been able to create eighth-level secret techniques for the Lord of the Universe..."

"Therefore, in terms of secret techniques, one doesn't necessarily need to reach the absolute top level, but at the very least, one must create a top-tier seventh-order technique; otherwise, one has wasted their time!"

"Secondly, there are secret techniques at the level of soul will. Although I have broken through to the level of the Lord of the Universe, if the enemy hides inside the palace's treasures, I still don't have much of a way to deal with them. I must master the fifth-level soul attack secret techniques as soon as possible, and it would be best if I could create my own soul secret techniques!"

Activate the most powerful treasure.

There are two methods. One is to use divine power to activate it completely, which consumes a lot of divine energy and is not suitable for prolonged battles. The other is to use secret runes to activate it, which is the easiest method.

Under normal circumstances, if one creates a top-tier fourth-order secret technique, one can easily activate the secret runes of the most powerful treasures and unleash top-tier fifth-order power. If one creates a top-tier fifth-order technique, one will definitely be able to unleash top-tier sixth-order combat power. In the Cosmic Sea, one can barely unleash seventh-order strength!

Therefore, if one creates a top-tier seventh-order secret technique, then the Lord of the Universe can possess ninth-order combat power by activating the secret runes of the most powerful treasure!

However, without the ability to use soul attacks, it is basically impossible to kill the strongest being in the universe. One can only rely on special circumstances, especially against the strongest being in the universe who possesses the most powerful treasure armor, making them even more difficult to kill.

The entire universe is a sea.

As long as one possesses the most powerful and precious armor, attacks on matter, except for those affecting the soul, are almost incapable of killing such a powerful individual.

Back then, the Primordial Ancestor relied on a top-tier tenth-order soul technique to dominate the universe. Of course, soul techniques are not invincible. If one possesses a supreme treasure of the soul type, or an extremely powerful treasure, or something like the Star Tower that greatly weakens soul attacks, one would not fear the Primordial Ancestor.

Otherwise, the Primordial Ancestor would have already used his soul techniques to wipe out all the major forces in the Cosmic Sea.

While Shen Ping was deep in thought.

Many cosmic venerables and overlords of the primordial star were filled with panic and unease.

Especially after sensing the binding force of the Golden Sand Domain, they knew that the domineering and renowned Lord of the Nine Rings had arrived.

Soon.

The rulers of Qianwu Kingdom, Noah Kingdom, Venerable Meizhen, and ten other cosmic venerables came here from various primordial stars to gather information about the situation on the primordial stars.

this time.

The biggest event on the original star was the clash between the Star River Lord of the Northern Frontier Alliance and the Blood Cloud Palace Lord. After withstanding the Star River Lord's attack, the Blood Cloud Palace Lord calmly left.

Other supreme treasures have not appeared as frequently as before. Now, only one or two high-level supreme treasures or a few ordinary supreme treasures will appear every hundred or several hundred years. Most of the time, things are calm and peaceful.

In reality, top-tier special treasures only appear in certain places, such as the Qishen Temple, a place for peak special treasures, and Zhenchang Valley. These places have all produced such treasures, but they are not yet open. You must possess a token and wait for them to open before you can enter.

"You may continue to stay on the Primordial Star. Do not worry about perishing. I am now the master of the universe, and I can easily revive you!"

With Shen Ping's words.

The rulers of Qianwu and Noah could rest assured and continued to guard the other primordial stars.

Now, no one dares to provoke them.

Everyone knows that the Lord of the Nine Rings is a vengeful guy. If someone is targeted by him, he could just offer a top-tier treasure as a bounty, and then there would be nowhere left to run in the entire primordial universe.

And after the Lord of the Nine Rings appeared on the original star.

The leaders of various factions, including the demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race, all received the message.

"What? The Lord of the Nine Rings can control space and time?"

"Previously, the Lord of the Nine Rings had always relied on the Golden Sand Domain and had never used his ability to control space and time. Now it seems that he truly is the Lord of the Universe!"

"The Lord of the Universe...to kill him is as difficult as ascending to heaven!" (End of Chapter)
