Swallowing the Stars: Primordial Heavenly Dragon

Chapter 31 The Initial Universe

Two days later, a giant bird-shaped spaceship arrived at the headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena. Subsequently, geniuses from all corners of the universe were summoned, and Yan Yong was also informed that he would be entering the Initial Universe with this group of geniuses.

The 1000 star-level geniuses stared in astonishment at the spaceship that was beyond their comprehension, while Yan Yong quietly blended in with the geniuses of the Divine Peak Secret Realm, concealing his presence.

According to the rules, as the master of the Divine Edge Secret Realm, he is required to address any genius from the Giant Axe Secret Realm as "Your Highness." Given his strength, he naturally wouldn't want to address a group of so-called geniuses whose ultimate achievements might be no different from his own current level as "Your Highness."

Under the astonished gazes of the group of celestial geniuses, the giant bird's abdomen slowly opened, and the steps gently descended in front of them.

"This giant bird is actually a spaceship inside?" a genius from the Heng Star Realm exclaimed in surprise.

"Follow me, everyone," Venerable Grayrock said coldly, waving his hand.

Yan Yong quietly entered the spaceship among the 1000 star-level geniuses of the Giant Axe Arena.

Inside the spaceship's main hall, the 1000 star-level geniuses were divided into small groups, discussing the previous genius battle. Those eliminated by the virtual universe system and denied a fair chance were particularly whispering among themselves, feeling they hadn't fully utilized their abilities and that the top-ranked geniuses might not be their match.

It will take some time to travel from the Giant Axe Arena's Universal Headquarters to the Virtual Universe Company. During this time, Yan Yong can slowly organize some information. Although he previously had the authority of a three-star member of the Hongmeng, he was not a member of the core human forces. Some information held by the core forces was not open to him. Now he can study it carefully, especially some extremely precious secret techniques.

"Let's start with the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique. This technique should be the most powerful soul control technique, after all, its creator is a fourth-order universe master." Yan Yong quickly pulled up the information on the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique.

It's worth a total of 150 million points, which is full price for members of the Divine Edge Secret Realm, but he has 1000 million points specially approved by the Gray Rock Venerable, so he can afford it.

Soon, the staff of the Virtual Universe Company delivered the secret method to the Virtual Universe system.

……

Within the World Ring, the Heavenly Dragon Avatar began to carefully study the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique. This technique requires multitasking, and he, with his soul avatar, was born with the ability to multitask. To master the fourth level, one needs a soul amplitude of 1000. Yan Yong's current cultivation of the Overlord's Inheritance contains a secret technique related to soul amplitude.

When he participated in martial arts competitions at the Giant Axe Arena, he had nothing else to do but study the secret techniques. In addition, he already knew that the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique required soul amplitude, so he studied the soul amplitude secret technique whenever he had time. Now his soul amplitude has long reached more than 3000 times.

Meanwhile, the human continued browsing the data; he still had 850 million points left to use.

Yan Yong's spatial talent is currently maxed out. Although he also has time talent, it is worthless compared to his spatial talent. He has three clone slots, which are enough to make up for his time weakness.

The most important thing now is to maximize his spatial talent, so he plans to buy another copy of "Time and Space Notes" from the Jiuyu lineage to systematically organize his spatial insights.

He hasn't even mastered any of the three major spatial mysteries in his current understanding of the laws. The reason he has made a name for himself as an invincible king in the outer battlefield is entirely due to the enhancement of his magic weapon, his innate secret techniques, and the 'battle intent' given by the supreme rules, which he has made up for his weakness in the laws.

With the initial enlightenment at level 18, I barely managed to create a top-tier secret technique. Relying on the amplification effect of the Imperial Dragon Halberd, I transformed the secret technique into a peak secret technique. With the support of battle intent, I further enhanced it by one level, turning it into an 'ultimate secret technique'. The second level of the Heavenly Dragon Armor provided tens of millions of times the power of a World Lord, bridging the gap in divine power levels.

The first four volumes of "Time and Space Essays" cost a total of 100 million points, but I couldn't afford the fifth volume.

"I hope this 'Time and Space Essays' can help me."

Time passed quickly as they studied the secret techniques, and Yan Yong and his group soon arrived in the initial universe.

……

"stop."

A thunderous sound boomed through the spaceship, reaching everyone's ears and eliciting gasps of surprise. The weaker geniuses who had just broken through to the cosmic level tensed up like frightened birds.

At this moment, an equally vast and powerful aura also rose, protecting many geniuses and Yan Yong.

"It is I. Open the cosmic passage," said the Gray Rock Venerable.

"boom!"

A resounding voice echoed as the spaceship continued its journey, beginning its time-space travel.

Having already experienced time travel multiple times, Yan Yong was used to this feeling of time and space shifting, but the group of weak cosmic-level geniuses felt uncomfortable again.

After about five or six minutes, the ground was covered with cosmic-level geniuses, many of whom were pale and had tears streaming down their faces.

"We've finally arrived in this primordial universe." Yan Yong's eyes lit up as he summoned the cosmic-level creature lying on the ground.

Chi Chi!

The giant bird's back slowly opened, revealing an outer layer of transparent crystal. The spaceship's main hall became incredibly bright, allowing everyone to see the outside of the ship directly through this crystal layer. This was far more realistic than the exterior simulations typically used on spaceships; Yan Yong could even see wisps of flowing chaotic air currents.

In the distance, one could vaguely see the heavens and earth cracking open from time to time, and even see a large number of strange patterns flowing at the edge of the cracked space. Threads of silk were connected, and the patterns on the threads were floating, just like a loom, weaving the heavens and earth to be bigger and bigger.

"What is this?" Although I already knew that the primordial universe could reveal various cosmic laws, experiencing it firsthand was still incredibly shocking.

Yan Yong quickly seized the time to carefully comprehend it, and in just a short while, he felt that his spatial laws had made a slight improvement.

"Stars and planets have lifespans, and so does this universe, only its lifespan is incredibly long." Venerable Gray Rock began to introduce this group of newcomers. "This initial universe is the new universe in the 'beginning of the universe' period. In the initial period, the universe is constantly being perfected and formed, and the fundamental rules of the universe's operation will become apparent."

"The original universe we live in is an incomparably vast, enormous, and perfect universe," Venerable Grayrock continued. "Precisely because it is perfect, it is impossible for the laws governing its operation to be outwardly manifested, making it extremely difficult to comprehend. In the initial universe, however, these laws can be directly observed with the naked eye, including how various laws perfectly combine with each other, how the universe was formed, and how the rules operate. Everything can be seen directly, making it much easier to comprehend."

"The opportunity to comprehend the Primordial Universe is extremely precious, even ordinary immortals find it difficult to obtain. As the core geniuses of my Giant Axe Arena, you are fortunate to live and comprehend here for 30 years. After 30 years, you must leave. So make the most of your time," Venerable Grayrock continued.

"Little ones, we are about to arrive at Chaos City," Venerable Grayrock said with a smile. "This Chaos City is where the powerful beings who entered the Primordial Universe to comprehend and cultivate reside. I have brought you here, and I hope that in 30 years you will all be alive and well and achieve something that satisfies you."

"Remember, upon entering Chaos City, listen carefully to the Chaos City's reception envoy and understand the rules. Hmm, we've arrived." After Venerable Grayrock finished speaking, the spaceship's speed began to decrease.

It eventually descended slowly.

……

Inside the Chaos Ruins, a man three meters tall, dressed in ancient and complex dark red battle armor, with a scaly tail protruding from his battle skirt and a pair of fiery red horns beneath a fierce face covered with secret patterns, quietly watched the arrival of this group of newcomers.

"Is this the junior brother the teacher mentioned who's 'somewhat talented'?" the man murmured. "He certainly has good opportunities. He has a thousand times the genetic potential of others, and he also has an avatar with the same thousand times the genetic potential and an enormous body. Based on feedback from the virtual universe, he has mastered the complete laws of fire, and his laws of space are at least comparable to the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge. He is naturally close to the laws of fire and space fusion, and he has earned the title of 'Golden Dragon King,' an invincible king, in the outer battlefield."

"Interestingly, he seems unaware that he possesses a Fire-Void Fusion Law equivalent to the third level of Beast God inheritance. He only instinctively used this Fire-Void Fusion Law when he was initially exploring the secret technique, and he couldn't use it after learning the secret technique himself." The man, who was originally fierce, couldn't help but reveal a slight smile, which suddenly added a bit of warmth to the originally cold and murderous Chaos Ruins.

For today's first chapter, thank you to the generous reader '心不尽道不明' for the 100-point reward. I'll add an extra chapter on Saturday as a token of my gratitude. Thank you also to 'wzwj' for the two monthly tickets; thank you so much!

Today I saw a comment from a reader about Earth in the comments section.

The reason I don't want to write about those ancient sages is that, firstly, they can't keep up with the protagonist's growth and their talents are far from sufficient. Even if they have strong talents and can help the protagonist, if I write them down, it would be like, "Kongming, what plan do you have?" "Yue Wumu led a team of immortal human troops straight to the origin of the primordial universe, intending to welcome back the primordial ancestor who was suppressed by the primordial universe."

Actually, there's not much to write about.

Let's work through these ideas a bit more; it's likely we'll just gloss over them.

Finally, I'm asking for votes, to continue reading, to add to favorites, and to invest.
