Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Family Revitalization

Giant Axe was originally a top-tier eighth-order universe powerhouse. After obtaining the most powerful axe-type treasure, his strength increased rapidly. He had already achieved true godhood through axe techniques, and with the secret runes on his axe, he quickly rose to the ninth order, and his power continued to soar. In addition, he sparred with several true gods of the Divine Eye Clan, and in less than ten thousand years, he became a top-tier ninth-order universe powerhouse, second only to true gods like the Divine Eye True God and the Skeleton Lord.

This made the Cosmic Sea no longer dare to underestimate the human race. Although there was only one true god, he was comparable to the God-Eye True Lord, and even in the Cosmic Sea, he was a top race.

When the news reached back to the primordial universe, it immediately caused those wavering, idle races to join the Hong Alliance. After all, with such a powerful true god as a deterrent, the Hong Alliance's universe lord was able to roam the cosmic sea without the daring of the two great powerhouses from the reincarnation era.

The demon race, the mechanical race, and the insect race were helpless in this regard, and could only silently continue to win them over while confronting the human race.

With the support of the Purple Moon Ancestor, the three-race alliance has nothing to fear.

Since the end of the East River inheritance, all forces in the Cosmic Sea and the Primal Universe have entered a period of stable development, mainly digesting the experience and guidance of the Origin Continent inheritance they had previously obtained.

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tianhuo Peak.

Space with time accelerated ten thousand times.

Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. In this space, a million years had passed outside, but he had spent a full million epochs. This was undoubtedly an extremely long period of time. Thanks to the reward of his family's golden finger, his talent in various fundamental laws was exceptional. Therefore, after such a long time, he finally managed to comprehend the fundamental laws of the five spatial systems: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Until now.

Only lightning, wind, and light remain as the three fundamental laws of time.

"Haha, once I fully comprehend the ten fundamental laws, my foundation will be incredibly solid. At that point, even comprehending the origins of the Great Dao will no longer be a difficult task!"

The ten fundamental laws are equivalent to the foundation of the entire Great Dao of Laws. Why does Luo Feng require his disciples to comprehend the ten fundamental laws? It is because this is the necessary path to follow the lineage of laws and comprehend the laws of chaos. If one does not comprehend them, one can still control chaos by relying on bloodline, but it will be very difficult to comprehend the origin of the Great Dao in the future.

Like that Jie Fanzi.

He is considered a very talented tenth-order true god. He achieved the tenth order through three reincarnation eras. He uses the water and fire primordial laws as the foundation of his origin. To comprehend the water and fire primordial laws is actually a subordinate branch of the Great Dao of Life Origin.

Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.

The main problem is that it's too biased. If one had grasped the ten fundamental principles from the beginning and then delved into the principles of water and fire, it would have been much more efficient.

Because the ten fundamental principles are complementary.

Shen Ping's life gene level is nearly 60,000 times higher, and he will eventually reach the Infinite Divine Body. He has basically reached the limit in terms of the Divine Body path, but he still needs to follow the laws. Therefore, if he can comprehend the Ten Basic Origin Laws as soon as possible, his future growth limit will be even higher.

"The remaining three will likely take even longer to fully comprehend... but time is the one thing I have plenty of right now, so let's continue!"

Human beings on Earth delve into the fundamental laws of existence.

The Fire Beast clones roamed the three most dangerous places in the cosmic sea.

The remaining Frost Whale clone and World Tree clone then devoted themselves to studying secret techniques. Although they were still only at the sixth level in terms of secret techniques after all these long years, they had a direction for creating their own seventh-level secret techniques. Most importantly, after such a long time, they had completely digested and comprehended all the inherited secret techniques and methods that the family had previously rewarded them with.

This allowed Shen Ping to accumulate knowledge to an incredibly profound level.

So even if there seems to be no progress, the accumulation is constantly growing, and when it explodes, there will be a qualitative leap.

……

Milky Way.

Earth.

Before continuing his seclusion, Shen Ping still took some time to relax and take a look at the development of his family over the past million years.

The family's previous experience was too short. Even with all kinds of top-notch resources, there was no time for reflection and development, and the family was never able to grow. Now it's different.

The Shen family ancestral home.

Now that the family headship has been handed over to the eldest son, after the events involving the first and second generations of bloodlines, the eldest son, Shen Yu, has been tempered mentally and has fully matured. Before, the eldest son was only calm and composed in management, but he was not mentally strong. No one could help him with this, he could only rely on himself.

Fortunately, Shen Yu survived.

This is the stage of the fish transforming into a dragon. It can be said that now, no one can affect the eldest son's mentality and emotions. He has a peaceful mindset, like watching the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard and the clouds roll and unroll in the sky.

Looking at Shen Yu.

Shen Ping was very satisfied. This was the demeanor that the head of the Shen family should have. He would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Only in this way could he manage an increasingly large and powerful family.

"Father."

"Now, in the past million years, my Shen family has produced more than twenty Universe Venerables, and there are a full three hundred King-level Immortals with the potential to break through to the Venerable level, as well as fifty thousand Immortals who are nearly invincible at the King level!"

"The remaining star-level geniuses have officially broken through the 100,000 mark. In every Genius Battle and Strongest Battle, my Shen family accounts for one-tenth of the geniuses. Actually, we could have more, but the rest are nurtured within the family to avoid any criticism from the clan!"

Shen Yu reported.

Millions of years have passed, and with the thousand-fold increase in space of Tianhuo Peak, Shen Ping's space is ten thousand times larger, while those outstanding geniuses' space is a thousand times larger. This is almost a hundred thousand epochs. Even a pig, with the resources poured into it by the Shen family, could become an immortal.

The eldest son, for example, became a Universe Venerable despite not being particularly talented.

The wives also successively broke through to the level of Cosmic Venerable.

The number of His Holiness reported this time does not include his wives.

However, becoming a Universe Venerable is a significant hurdle. Among the twenty-six junior Venerables this time, those with first-generation and second-generation bloodlines accounted for 60%, while the remaining geniuses accounted for 40%.

The bloodline system itself has advantages, which is understandable.

The Shen family is now divided into two factions.

One faction follows the path of law geniuses, cultivated by the two giant forces of the virtual universe of the human race and the Giant Axe Arena. The other faction follows the path of bloodline. The two sides are competing with each other and look down on each other.

In this regard.

Shen Ping didn't care. This was the healthy competition that a large and ancient family should have. If everyone was happy, it would be pure nonsense. Where there are people, there will be conflicts. In ancient dynasties, how many people were in a royal family? They still killed each other's fathers and sons. Not to mention that the Shen family now has more than 10 trillion, which is almost half the population of a universe.

Is there any affection between the first generation and countless generations of blood relatives?

There's no such thing as genuine affection.

In reality, people don't want to visit relatives who are three to five generations removed from their extended family. How many generations are there?

Of course, some people like to dream, which is normal. After all, reality is very cruel. So, although there is competition in the Shen family, it is still within a reasonable range and no longer involves all kinds of open and covert struggles as before.

This is also thanks to the eldest son.

Open the virtual window.

Regarding offspring, there is an ancient path, but a new script has emerged.

Among them, the ancient rewards were given three times in terms of population and offspring: once for the number of people, once for the number of Venerables, and once for the total number of geniuses.

These three events officially propelled Shen Ping's life gene level on Earth's human body to a breakthrough of 60,000 times, reaching the second level of a divine body.

If it breaks through another 90,000 times, it will be the Infinite Divine Body of the third level of the Divine Body. At that time, it can change size at will.

Simultaneously.

Shen Ping's divine body, representing the Earth's human form, has reached a height of over 100 million kilometers.

Of course.

This level of achievement is merely icing on the cake.

Shen Ping's Fire Beast clone could roam freely in the Cosmic Sea. Even the strongest beings in the universe wouldn't fight him. Everyone knows that Shen Ping is an eighth-order universe lord and has all sorts of supreme treasures. Only a fool would fight with Shen Ping.

Besides offspring.

The Ancient Path also had two rewards: the first was when the number of Cosmic Venerables reached 10, and the second was when it exceeded 25.

As for the rewards...

There's nothing special about it; it's mainly a secret technique passed down from the Origin Continent, but unfortunately, it doesn't have the inheritance of a God-King.

However, what Shen Ping was more concerned about was that the second reward from the Ancient Path upgraded the Blood Lotus Pool and also granted him the powerful Chaos Realm peak-level will technique, "Heavenly God's Eye." Once he mastered this will technique, dealing with the World Beasts would be a piece of cake.

The Calamity of the Beasts.

Relying on any other treasures won't work. Even the Star Tower won't do. The Chaos Golden Wings can only kill most of them, and it's still inevitable that a king will emerge from the world beasts.

But the secret arts of willpower are different.

This thing is annihilated directly at the level of the soul and will.

Luo Feng's "Lieyuan Technique" is a trump card in the Origin Continent. It's so powerful that Luo Feng didn't use it because it would disrupt the balance. After all, if a single glance can destroy an enemy, what use is a divine body or a secret technique?

Moreover, killing enemies using the secret art of willpower involves no process whatsoever.

This secret technique of willpower at the Chaos Realm is not as powerful as the Lieyuan Technique, but it can be considered a one-hit kill against any being below the Chaos Realm.

A sixth-order Beast King in the Cosmic Sea is not a Chaos Realm cultivator, so naturally he cannot withstand it.

Shen Ping's willpower is not yet sufficiently tempered, making it difficult for him to master this secret technique of willpower. Although he possesses the special treasure, the Flowing Light Diagram, and has left an avatar for tempering at the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, his willpower is only at the limit level of a True God.

It will take a long time to cross this threshold.

The rewards for offspring and the Ancient Path total five times.

This increased the genetic level of Shen Ping's Earth human body by 1 times, now it is 69081 times.

"Yu'er, you did a good job."

"I am very relieved to entrust the family to you, but your cultivation cannot be neglected. My Shen family must produce a master of the universe. Once you become the master of the universe, there will be no complaints when the other members of the family grow up."

Shen Ping reminded him.

The eldest son, Shen Yu, nodded. "Father, rest assured, I have already made arrangements for this. The various responsibilities of the family will be handed over to other leaders, as well as the person in charge of cultivating the next generation."

Becoming the master of the universe is quite difficult.

A Cosmic Venerable can be created by throwing away massive resources at any cost, but a Cosmic Lord cannot. However, with the inheritance of the Origin Continent, if all else fails, Shen Ping will have his eldest son switch bloodlines. Once he becomes a True God, his bloodline system will be even stronger.

At that time, relying on the transformed Blood Lotus Pool, the blood of the true god will be directly condensed, allowing the eldest son to grow.

This was something he had planned long ago.

Managing a family inevitably leads to distraction, making it difficult to truly comprehend the fundamental laws, let alone hone one's skills in combat.

Only by following the bloodline system can one achieve the most stable and sustainable growth.

The bloodline system only requires tapping into the bloodline.

Next.

Shen Ping then spent some more time with his wives, traveling through various universes for hundreds of years to relax and learn about different races. This lasted for over a thousand years, which served as a way to comfort his wives.

After doing all this.

He also took two hundred years to guide the younger generation of his family and to drink and chat with Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen.

Time is precious, yet it is also not precious.

Especially for the rulers of the universe, there are too many years. They experience everything in terms of epochs. Therefore, geniuses born in the various universes who have not lived for tens of millions of epochs are hard to catch their eye.

Shen Ping hadn't realized this before, but now, after continuous seclusion, he understands that at this level, one truly no longer pays attention to those geniuses.

No matter how talented or dazzling one is, what does it matter?

Let's become a cosmic master first.

Moreover, to become a cosmic sovereign, one must also cross the threshold of the cosmic master.

Every step was fraught with difficulties and hardships.

In fact, every genius has a complete growth story with endless excitement. From their perspective, the initial universe was still incredibly intense in the battle of geniuses. Those geniuses who came from humble beginnings and remote and impoverished backgrounds had to constantly compete with the geniuses emerging from the Shen family and the Luo family. Unfortunately, in the end, they were still suppressed by the Shen family.

Unless another cheater appears.

Otherwise, they would experience the terrifying dominance emanating from the geniuses of the Shen family.

Fortunately, in this primordial universe era, there were no bloodline-based families like the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and the Leiting Ancient Kingdom. Otherwise, the entire primordial universe and the cosmic sea would have long since solidified the upward social hierarchy and become the Origin Continent.

On the Origin Continent, no matter how talented you are, you will eventually have to face the two ancient kingdoms. The most top-tier resources are controlled by the two ancient kingdoms, other Hunyuan creature forces, and local forces that are not controlled by the two ancient kingdoms.

The Shen family has now achieved a monopoly, but this also means that the Shen family is moving towards becoming an ancient family.

Of course, no matter how ancient it is, in the end, it must transcend.

Those who cannot transcend this will ultimately be optimized away by the balance of the rules. (End of Chapter)
