Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 306 Extra Chapter 5: A Small Experiment

"This precious pearl is probably comparable to a true Chaos Origin Divine Weapon. Senior Brother, you've been too protective of this little guy."

Luo Feng shook his head in disapproval.

A treasure at the Hunyuan level is enough to nurture true intelligence. Even if no one controls it, its own revival is enough to crush a large group of semi-Hunyuan life forms.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Don't worry, how could I let this little guy use this treasure to try and surpass his level? Everything has to be based on his own cultivation level."

With that, Shen Mu tossed the precious pearl in his hand, which transformed into a special forbidden area within a universe inside the chaotic void.

The terrifying fluctuations directly enveloped the entire universe. Any life form with a slightly higher level of cultivation noticed that the sudden appearance of this precious pearl had triggered a true upheaval.

"This precious pearl contains a wisp of my will, which will truly guide this little guy Dongbo Xueying. As long as he doesn't disappoint, it shouldn't be a problem for him to transcend the shackles."

Although Shen Mu said this, in reality he would not interfere too much with Dongbo Xueying's path to enlightenment.

In the early stages, Shen Mu was merely planting a seed for Dongbo Xueying to comprehend the mysteries of the soul. Only after Dongbo Xueying had truly grasped the ultimate essence of the soul would Shen Mu reveal his true intentions, advising him not to rush into enlightenment but to focus on comprehending the Great Dao of the Primordial Soul.

Luo Feng smiled and said, "Since Senior Brother values ​​this little guy so much, then let Senior Brother guard this Fangyuan World."

This world belongs to Luo Feng.

However, there is no struggle for territory among the Enlightened Lords, because the territory that each person needs to protect is too vast, and they cannot take care of it all.

"Forget it, I need to guard the territory of two people by myself."

Shen Mu, as expected, refused; it was just a joke.

After Yuan and the others confirmed that Shen Mu alone was comparable to two lords of the Enlightened One lineage, they directly assigned Shen Mu to guard the territory of two people.

"Speaking of which, I recently came up with a little thought experiment that's quite interesting. Would you like to take a look, junior?"

"A thought experiment?"

Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it."

"Haha, Junior Brother Luo Feng, let's see what kind of thought experiment it is first."

As Shen Mu spoke, the infinite wisdom wheel reappeared, and new source worlds emerged one after another.

"Hmm? Is this the Origin Continent?"

Luo Feng immediately saw that within the Origin World that Shen Mu had condensed, there was the Origin Continent, not only the Origin Continent, but also the Cosmic Sea, their primordial universe, and Earth.

Soon, Luo Feng witnessed an astonishing scene: the appearance of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor, followed by the appearance of the Purple Moon Ancestor.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Luo Feng was speechless. He had already seen the illusionary versions of the Chaos City Lord and the Ice Peak Lord appear. Although their appearances were completely different and their styles of doing things were slightly different, they did the same things.

"I already said it's a thought experiment."

Shen Mu spoke with a smile, then raised his hand and gently tapped in mid-air.

Another special universe emerged, a universe where the fundamental law of matter suppressed everything, and no extraordinary power appeared.

Normally, such anomalies would not appear in a naturally born universe, unless it is a God-King universe that has achieved enlightenment through comprehending a branch of the material path.

Within the God-King Universe, a baby named Zhou Cheng was born and grew up.

During this process, Zhou Cheng even read a novel called "Swallowing the Stars" during his teenage years.

"Swallowing the Stars, is this a world without my senior brother?"

Luo Feng was naturally able to perceive everything in this source world and the material universe.

"That's one way to understand it."

Shen Mu's expression was somewhat complicated. He wanted to see if this young man named Zhou Cheng could discover that everything was fake during the experiment.

……

The Origin Continent of Illusions, the Primordial Universe, on a seemingly ordinary planet.

Boom!

The mountain collapsed, and a newly born golden-horned behemoth was frantically devouring a mineral that shimmered with a faint golden light within the mine.

"Hurry up and break through to the cosmic level, so you can comprehend the laws as soon as possible!"

Zhou Cheng was filled with despair. He had woken up to find himself transported to the world of Swallowed Star.

Moreover, it became a golden-horned behemoth.

It looks cool, doesn't it? But the Starry Sky Beasts are all free-range, and Zhou Cheng himself is no exception.

A powerful Golden Horned Beast is what makes it a Golden Horned Beast, but a mere ninth-level Golden Horned Beast of my own is not a Golden Horned Beast, it's a "treasure"!

I am only a little over thirty years old now, but fortunately, the planet on which I was born has these special metallic ores.

Zhou Cheng received the bloodline inheritance, but the inheritance did not record any information about these metal ores. The only thing that was certain was that consuming these special ores could greatly increase his evolution speed.

Generally speaking, after being born, the Golden Horned Beasts can become a first-tier Constant Star level within a year by simply consuming the eggshell.

If it grows naturally, it takes 36 years to go from the first level of the Eternal Star to the ninth level of the Eternal Star.

It takes more than fifty years to evolve from the ninth level of the Hengxing level to the first level of the Universe level.

"With these ores, I can evolve to the cosmic level in five years at most. At that time, I will be able to possess a domain and hope to comprehend the mysteries of the laws."

Zhou Cheng's biggest headache right now is finding a place of refuge.

After all, I'm too weak.

Let alone the Eternal Star level, even Golden Horned Beasts at the Domain Lord or World Lord levels are highly sought after by those powerful individuals.

Under normal circumstances, after achieving immortality, the Golden Horned Beast can obtain the coordinates of the Beast God Universe from its bloodline and return to its own race.

The problem is... Zhou Cheng's soul form is not the Golden Horned Beast, but his appearance from his previous life.

In the original work, the Beast God Ancestor could see through the soul essence of the Golden Horned Beast Luo Feng at a glance, so he could naturally see through his own soul essence as well.

Luo Feng has a powerful backer, and the Beast God Ancestor doesn't bother with him, but he himself doesn't have a powerful backer.

"However, it's not entirely without a chance. Although I am not an Earthling's soul, I am still a human soul. Going to the human race seems like a good idea. I can also latch onto a powerful figure. As long as I become immortal, I can rely on Luo Feng's miniature universe for the future. The real primordial universe will be destroyed, but I will not die."

"I just don't know what era we're in now."

"The early stages of the primordial universe? The era after Luo Feng's rise?"

Boom!

Zhou Cheng pondered as he ate.

As a time traveler, Zhou Cheng knew very well that cultivating various secret techniques now was not very efficient.

We need to truly break through to the cosmic level and possess a domain.

The cosmic-level golden-horned behemoth automatically possesses a domain and can directly sense the fluctuations of the fundamental laws of the universe.

"I hope my comprehension isn't too bad. I just need one percent of Luo Feng's early level."

"It took Luo Feng about half a year to step into the threshold of the Law of Metal at the cosmic level. I could do it in fifty years without any problem."

Zhou Cheng couldn't remember how many years the human race's Cosmic Strongest Battle was held; it seemed to alternate with the Star-level Genius Battle.

This event is held once every five thousand years. This time it is a battle of geniuses, and five thousand years later it will be a battle of the strong.

If we calculate it that way, Zhou Cheng could stay at the cosmic level for 20,000 to 30,000 years, comprehend the laws to a certain level, and then directly participate in the Genius Battle.

Even ordinary genes at the cosmic level have a lifespan of 100,000 years.

As a being of the pinnacle of cosmic lineage, I possess a life gene level ten times that of ordinary cosmic life, and a lifespan of a full million years.

Even if you stay in the universe for tens of thousands of years, it's nothing.

Rumble!

Zhou Cheng shattered countless golden ores, then opened his mouth and used his innate secret technique to devour them.

Over the years, while indulging in delicious food, Zhou Cheng has also been planning his future development.

"First of all, the two races with the highest talent in the entire universe are definitely Earthlings and the Yan God Clan."

"These two races were created by the God-King himself, especially the Earthlings, who are explicitly stated in the original work to be the only race to have produced multiple true gods!"

Of course, this does not include the races from those ancient reincarnation eras in the cosmic sea.

For example, the Divine Eye Clan is a bug. Several true gods have emerged from them. Even the Lord of Chaos City believes that the birth of the Divine Eye Clan must be because some unknown ancient beings emerged during the evolution of the universe in that era of reincarnation, which gave birth to such a terrifying race.

Listen to what you mean by "unknown changes"—isn't that just like the original universe getting bugged?

"Earthlings' talent lies in their souls. My clones can only nurture bodies, not souls, so Earthlings are out of the running."

Aside from Earthlings, the most gifted beings are the Flame God Clan and many other special life forms.

The original work mentions many extraordinary and unique life forms, such as the World Tree and the Frost Whale, but these life forms are all unique, except for the World Tree.

Because of the World Tree's own racial characteristics, it can separate its branches into independent offspring to cultivate offspring and descendants, thus creating World Trees of the World Lord level.

"A World Tree of the World Lord level seems better off without a Blood Sea clone."

With Luo Feng as his guiding light, Zhou Cheng didn't need to mess things up on his own.

As the saying goes, the US crossed the river by feeling for stones, while China only needs to touch the US's rear end to cross the river.

The World Tree's functions are nothing more than its large size, its possession of secret techniques to control time and space, its ability to make the divine kingdom even more indestructible, and at most, its innate talent for the most advanced time and space fundamental laws of the primordial universe.

However, the Blood Sea clone is larger and also possesses the special secret technique of "Creation".

In the original work, Luo Feng was able to achieve a perfect divine body with 100,000 times the genetic potential precisely because of the creation of this secret method, which reduced the difficulty of Luo Feng's life gene analysis process by a thousand or ten thousand times.

We don't aspire to be like Luo Feng, nor do we covet the Infinite Divine Body.

Before Zhou Cheng transmigrated, the second part of Swallowing the Stars had already been published. Even on the Origin Continent, Infinite Divine Bodies were very rare, and most Chaos Realm cultivators did not possess one.

Even if our genes are more than 60,000 times stronger, and we achieve a second-stage divine body, we'll have secured a powerful backer.

Boom!

Another mine was hollowed out and collapsed; the huge roar instantly brought Zhou Cheng back to his senses.

"It's gotten too big for its britches, it's gotten too big for its britches."

"I actually dare to dream of reaching the realm of a true god!"

Zhou Cheng was instantly jolted awake, a serious expression appearing on his ferocious, dragon-head-like face.

Never become arrogant.

The instructor is right: strategically we can despise the enemy, but tactically we must take them seriously.

Right now, I can't really talk about strategy; I just have to be down-to-earth.

"Ignorance and weakness are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is!"

I can't get arrogant just because I'm a time traveler.

Forget about true gods, even a random ninth-tier cosmic-level being could instantly kill me now.

The Golden Horned Beast is 10 times stronger than an ordinary life form of the same level at the ninth rank of the Constant Star level, but a peak ninth rank cosmic level creature is a thousand times stronger than a peak ninth rank constant star level creature.

Even if one's innate talent and secret techniques could double their power, making them 20 times stronger than others at the same level, they would still be someone who could be killed with a single finger in the eyes of a ninth-tier cosmic-level being.

"Of the three clones, one is occupied by the Flame God Clan, one by the Blood Sea Clone... and there's one left to consider."

The Golden Horned Beast clan has no shortage of lower-level law talents, but their higher-level law talents are generally average.

Compared to beings like the Demon Slayer Clan's clones, who are among the pinnacle races in the universe, their spatial law talents are negligible.

"The Law Talent Clone isn't very useful in the later stages."

"If I could possess an avatar of the Zerg Queen, then after becoming an Immortal, I would be able to directly achieve a level close to that of an invincible King."

"No, no, I'm getting too cocky again."

The enormous golden-horned beast raised its front paw and slapped itself hard, giving itself a serious warning.

"I can't even contact the outside world right now."

"While a cosmic-level traverse could be achieved, it would be far too dangerous."

"Once the Golden Horned Beast is discovered by powerful individuals, their first instinct is to suppress and enslave it!"

"Even if these powerful individuals cannot possess another body themselves, they will have their descendants possess it."

"By then, I will be enslaved by my own soul. With a single thought, they can make me open my soul defenses and let their descendants devour my soul."

"Too dangerous, you wouldn't even know how you died."

With this thought in mind, Zhou Cheng anxiously poked his head out of the mine cave, his four golden vertical pupils filled with worry as he gazed into the distance.

We can't possibly survive on this planet until we reach the level of a World Lord.

For the Golden Horned Beast race, achieving immortality is already much more difficult than for life forms with ordinary genes. If no one guides them, can they achieve immortality?

Zhou Cheng was very worried, his gaze fixed on the distance.

"God, please have mercy and send a group of adventurers to my planet, preferably humans, so I can create a human clone."

Zhou Cheng's soul form was originally his appearance from his previous life; he was clearly human and there was no way to hide it.

Just as Zhou Cheng was worrying, ripples suddenly appeared in the starry sky outside the planet.

A spaceship made of deep red metal emerged from the void.

When Zhou Cheng saw the deep red metal spaceship, his eyes lit up with divine light.

"Mysterious Iron Essence is the most abundant B8-grade metal, haha!"

Zhou Cheng recognized Xuan Tie Jing because it was the most common B8-grade metal in the universe, and it was on the recipes passed down in his bloodline!

The person riding in the B8-class metal spaceship is definitely not some powerful being!
