Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 304 Extra Chapter 3: Shen Mu's Life in Hunyuan

Winter of the year 9616 in the Longshan calendar.

Anyang Province, Qinghe Prefecture, Yishui County, within Xueying Territory.

Outside a castle, a man in silver armor and a young man in gray robes stood there, as if waiting for something.

Not far away, a couple was saying goodbye to their sons.

"Xueying, take good care of your younger brother, understand?" the gentle woman instructed.

"Yes." The eight-year-old boy, named Xueying, nodded, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.

Beside the eight-year-old boy was an even younger child, who was wailing loudly.

The gentle woman hugged her child tightly one last time, then stood up and looked at her husband beside her: "Let's go."

"it is good."

The couple, barely suppressing their reluctance, turned to look at the silver-armored man and the black-robed youth.

"Brother, let's go."

The young man in black robes sighed, and an invisible spiritual force formed a barrier, blocking his nephew who was about to follow.

Immediately, the group boarded the back of the four-winged vulture and headed into the distance.

On the ground, eight-year-old Xueying shouted, "Father, Mother, I, Dongbo Xueying, swear... I will definitely bring you back! Our family will be reunited, we definitely will!"

On the four-winged vulture, the couple couldn't help but turn their heads away.

The gray-robed youth beside him also sighed, as a voice transmission sounded in his nephew's ear.

"Your uncle is powerless to protect your mother and father. If you want to rescue them, you need to become a titled powerhouse!"

Dongbo Xueying, his face streaked with tears, paused, looking at the four-winged vulture that had disappeared into the horizon.

"Title-level..."

Dongbo Xueying was somewhat familiar with the title-level titles.

If one is a titled knight, their battle aura is completely materialized and condensed into a "solid core," reaching the limit of mortals. Their body is cleansed by the power of heaven and earth, almost achieving immortality. Their speed is supersonic, and they can kill a Silver Moon-level knight in one move. One person can destroy an army of 100,000.

But achieving a title-level rank isn't that easy.

"Child, your parents have already gone far away, there's no need to look anymore."

A gentle voice suddenly emerged from behind Dongbo Xueying.

Dongbo Xueying quickly turned his head and saw a young man in a white robe descending from the sky.

"Who...who are you?"

Dongbo Xueying swallowed hard, looking at Shen Mu with some fear.

Several servants guarding Dongbo Xueying were startled and quickly looked around.

There was absolutely no one there!

Young Master... could it be that he's hallucinating because he can't handle the blow?

Shen Mu smiled, gently raised his hand, and pointed his finger in mid-air.

At that moment, the branches swaying in the cold wind in the distance suddenly froze, and the howling wind blowing between heaven and earth was completely stilled.

Apart from Dongbo Xueying, the entire world seemed to have been put on pause in that instant.

"My name is Shen Mu, and I am a... Lord of Hunyuan."

"Hunyuan... Lord?"

Dongbo Xueying blinked. "Is there a territory called Hunyuan Territory in the Qinghe County area?"

And this ability... must belong to a legendary superhuman.

Knights and mages can be divided into seven levels: Human, Earth, Heaven, Meteor, Silver Moon, Title, and "Transcendent".

Among them, Human Rank, Earth Rank, and Heaven Rank are all considered ordinary knights.

Meteor, Silver Moon, and the title can be considered Star Knights.

Above the Star Knights lies the Extraordinary.

The extraordinary are beings who are truly transcendent and above; how could they possibly be so-called lords?

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "Don't overthink it. I've completely stopped time in this universe. I'm not some kind of superhuman."

"Pause time in the universe!?"

Dongbo Xueying stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.

Then Dongbo Xueying hurriedly asked, "Senior, what brings you here to see me?"

The little boy, only eight years old, seemed to have grown up overnight, naturally imitating his father in his speech and actions.

"I see you have considerable talent and would like to take you as my apprentice. Would you be willing?"

As soon as Shen Mu finished speaking, Dongbo Xueying's eyes widened, and then he kowtowed repeatedly: "I am willing, I am willing! Master, please accept my bow."

The voice was very young, but the tone was very firm.

"Okay, I have high expectations for you, so I will only give you some guidance to help you avoid detours, and I will not interfere too much with your growth."

"If you don't meet my requirements, I won't interfere with your life or death, understand?"

As Shen Mu finished speaking, Dongbo Xueying nodded repeatedly, "Disciple understands!"

Then Shen Mu nodded slightly, and a spear technique for cultivating battle qi appeared in his palm.

"This is a secret manual I created, called the Illusionary Heart Spear Technique. It was modified from the unique skill of one of my elder brothers. It is enough to allow you to cultivate to an extraordinary level and comprehend the so-called true meaning."

"If you can comprehend the true meaning that your master hopes for, your master will appear again in the future; otherwise, let our master-disciple relationship end here."

"Yes, Master!"

Dongbo Xueying was extremely excited. Although he didn't understand the true meaning of the technique, it didn't stop him from knowing that this was a unique skill that could be cultivated to a transcendent level.

Dongbo Xueying ultimately achieved the ultimate state of his soul, thus completing the Hunyuan Void. After that, he would have almost no hope of mastering the Hunyuan Soul again.

After Shen Mucheng comprehended the Hunyuan Soul, he used this Great Dao to reshape his divine body and soul, becoming a Daoist Lord. He was then almost unable to perceive other Great Daos.

The entire world seemed to be filled with the fluctuations of the Hunyuan soul, while the fluctuations of other Great Daos were extremely weak.

This is what is known as the rejection of the Great Dao, a very common phenomenon that occurs even in the primordial universe.

The fact that even a Lord-level Chaos Origin expert like Shen Mu found it so difficult to perceive shows just how powerful this repulsion is.

Fortunately, Shen Mu also has an Order Avatar, who is born with control over the Great Dao of Chaos Order. He himself is the manifestation of the Great Dao of Chaos Order, and can use it to comprehend the mysteries of Chaos Order.

Other enlightened lords who wish to perceive the Great Dao also need to find a way to obtain the physical bodies of those born ancestral beings in order to avoid the Great Dao's repulsion effect.

But the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos is not so easy to hunt down.

Shen Mu can easily suppress ordinary innate lord-level beings and capture them alive by relying on his unparalleled will.

Yuan could also easily suppress or even annihilate ordinary born lords by virtue of the extreme point of his endless years.

However, the other enlightened lords were able to defeat ordinary lords, even severely injure them, but killing them was difficult, let alone capturing and suppressing them alive.

These are just ordinary lords; those that are slightly stronger are even harder to kill.

As for the other beings at the Eternal Throne level, killing them would require a combined effort, and Shen Mu could only suppress them; even inflicting serious damage would be difficult.

……

In the chaotic void source world, in an ancient city.

"Lord Luo is really quite leisurely."

Shen Mu's cheerful voice rang out, and then he stepped into Luo Feng's back garden.

"Senior brother, why has the venerable one arrived?"

Luo Feng opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

The one here is just an avatar of Luo Feng; his true self has always stayed in the Milky Way Pure Land he created, accompanying his wife and children.

Shen Mu sighed helplessly: "My wives are fighting, I can't possibly step in and suppress them all, can I?"

"Hahaha, I don't have that kind of confusion." Luo Feng laughed gleefully. He only had Xu Xin as his wife, a representative of the single-female-lead type.

Shen Mu rolled his eyes helplessly: "How can you blame me? You all know what happened to me. He's still my lover, how could I not bring him back to life?"

Shen Mu did not hide his past life experiences, after all, the time between the two lives was too short to be separated.

For example, Zhao Chen's female warrior wife asked why Jia Yi wasn't resurrected, but Jia Yi was still alive, and they couldn't just kill him and then resurrect him.

Luo Feng gloated for a while, then said, "Senior brother, I have an idea for you."

"Create a few training worlds and send Yongqing and the other sisters-in-law into them for training. At least they won't fight together."

"That makes sense!"

Shen Mu nodded in agreement, then thought about how to persuade his wives to go on the training trip.

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going back now."

"By the way, keep an eye on that little guy Dongbo Xueying for me, just make sure he doesn't die."

As Shen Mu spoke, he shared Dongbo Xueying's situation with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was taken aback: "Could this little guy have the potential to break free from his constraints?"

As he spoke, Luo Feng's gaze traversed countless universes and landed on Dongbo Xueying.

There's nothing particularly special about it.

"The theory of talent won't work. Did you, junior brother, imagine that you could transcend your limitations and even become the strongest being in the infinite primordial space?"

Luo Feng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Senior Brother, we won't let him really die."

……

Infinite primordial space, the origin of pure land.

On a planet similar to Earth, Shen Mu and Tang Yongqing were conducting business in a hotel.

"Sister Yongqing, would you like to go out and gain some experience for a while?"

Shen Mu's spear gleamed brilliantly, making it difficult for Tang Yongqing to defend herself.

The spear's edge carried the power of will, intertwining with the soul and truly stirring the most vulnerable part of it.

Tang Yongqing clenched her teeth, barely maintaining her composure: "No, if I go on this training trip, you'll definitely be out partying with those women."

"Especially that first love, ugh!"

"After all these years, am I really that kind of person?"

Shen Mu raised an eyebrow slightly and unleashed the ultimate technique of spear fighting, instantly winning over Tang Yongqing.

"I... I agree to anything if I go to gain experience!"

Having already reached the level of a God-King, Tang Yongqing truly felt his soul trembling, and all his methods became ineffective.

Shen Mu didn't stop and continued to demonstrate the profound secrets of spear techniques.

At this moment, the entire era of the Origin Pure Land seemed to stand still, paused for more than three years.

……

In the Heavenly Palace Pure Land, on a tree-lined path of a middle school, Zhao Chen and a girl walked side by side.

"Wan Ting, go and gain some experience."

Cao Wanting, Zhao Chen's first love in this life.

At the time, Zhao Chen became a college student at the age of ten, entering the most prestigious junior class, thanks to his so-called "talent".

There were only a dozen or so students in the entire gifted youth program, and Cao Wanting was the prettiest among them.

There's no way around it, Zhao Chen is also a looks-obsessed person.

Cao Wanting glanced at Zhao Chen suspiciously: "I can go, but what about them?"

"Go and gain experience, so you won't fight anymore."

Cao Wanting pursed her lips and said, "Fine, I can understand you, but I just get angry whenever I see that vixen. She's so shameless."

The "seductive fox" that Cao Wanting mentioned is Zhao Chen's third girlfriend in this life. From the very beginning, the two of them had a rather open relationship.

Zhao Chen smiled sheepishly and put his arm around Cao Wanting's shoulder: "We're about to part ways, so let's not miss each other for a while."

"Stop! Is this your true self? Don't touch me, clone!"

"Yes, yes!"

……

On another universe within the Heavenly Palace Holy Land, there exists a parallel universe similar to Earth.

It also has the Milky Way, the solar system, and Earth. To be precise, it is a mortal universe where the fundamental principles of physics suppress everything.

The Earth here is called Water Blue Star, and its history is remarkably similar to that of the Earth in the story of Swallowing the Stars and the Universe.

At this moment, a lively concert is being held normally in the stadiums of Water Blue Star, Divine Land, and Imperial Capital.

"Ahhh, our Jingya is so beautiful!"

"Quiet and elegant is the best!"

At the lively concert, the tall, handsome singer performed his hit songs, combining singing, dancing, and rapping.

Inside a VIP box, Zhao Chen watched this scene and seemed to have discerned something.

Then Zhao Chen was seen gently raising his hand and fiddling with something in mid-air.

The invisible electromagnetic waves were like toys in Zhao Chen's hands.

On stage, a long-legged girl who was singing and dancing suddenly twisted her ankle and fell down.

"Ahhh, our Jingya fell down!"

"Ya Ya, are you alright?"

The audience erupted in excitement. The girl seemed to be looking in Zhao Chen's direction, and her first reaction was to use Time Stop.

But it was all for naught; nothing happened.

All his divine king-level understanding of the Great Dao was rendered useless, and he could not mobilize any divine power.

"They're bullying people again."

The girl didn't stand up. She clutched her right ankle, which was wearing high heels, gasped for breath, and groaned, as if she was seriously injured.

At this moment, the concert's security personnel and medical staff reacted quickly, maintaining order immediately and checking on the girl's condition.

"Teacher Pei, are you alright?"

A middle-aged woman in a white coat was the quickest to arrive at the girl's side, where she saw that the girl's slender, fair ankles were badly swollen.

For a god-king level expert, creating some 'injuries' is simply too easy.

"Thank goodness... Ah!"

Just as the girl was about to say that she was alright, her expression suddenly changed slightly, and a groan escaped from the corner of her bright red lips, a sound that was full of twists and turns.

The middle-aged woman quickly checked the girl's ankle injury. As soon as her fingers touched the swollen area, the girl's voluptuous waist suddenly trembled, as if in great pain.

"You might have injured your ankle, Mr. Pei. The concert is already over, and it was supposed to be an extra segment anyway. Even if we canceled it, the fans would understand. But if it's really a broken ankle, we can't afford to delay any longer."

"Okay..." the girl finally uttered, her voice trembling.

That day, the trending topics on the entertainment platform of this parallel universe were dominated by the girl's accidental fracture during her concert.

The girl was in a private hospital room, twisting an object that looked like a lipstick.

"I can't turn it off... Dad, please stop bullying me."

The girl blushed as she spoke, seemingly into the empty hospital room, but she knew that her "father" could hear her.

Not long after... the goddess-level girl curled up on the hospital bed, hugging a white medical blanket, her long, slender legs crossed, her whole body trembling, letting out a shameful sob.
