Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

"Your current image is much better, full of vigor and vitality. As the original form of a world, your previous image was far too decadent."

Ning Ze was very satisfied with his masterpiece; this change made him as young as the will of the Origin Continent.

The ancient source world couldn't withstand his meddling, so now he could do it with peace of mind.

"I feel... alright." Lord Yang's eyebrows twitched. He felt that Ning Ze's gaze was somewhat impolite, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"You'll get used to it. Since that's the case, how about we get used to the Source World by accelerating it 100,000 times?" Ning Ze suggested, changing the subject.

"Such a big step?" Lord Yang asked, looking surprised.

"What's this? It's just instinctive manipulation, it doesn't involve any rules. I'll familiarize myself with it first!" Ning Ze said nonchalantly.

Both Lord Yang and the Holy Mother trembled upon hearing this. Did they really intend to change the rules of the Origin World?

Lord Yang considered backing out. He had no idea what the Origin Continent was like now, and he felt that Chaoyang was somewhat unreliable. Why let such a dangerous individual enter the Origin World?

"Can I refuse?" Lord Yang asked timidly.

Ning Ze's gaze sharpened, displeased. "Look, you still lack the vigor you had back then. As you grow up, you never know the final destination, meaning every moment is fraught with risk."

"Yes, you are now powerful enough, perfect enough, and able to exist forever in this ever-decreasing Chaos Origin... However, things are unpredictable, and it is probably impossible for anyone in Chaos Origin to achieve true eternity."

"Not to mention, as of now, we living beings are at a disadvantage, facing formidable enemies like naturally occurring chaotic beings. How can you back down at a time like this?"

"This is the beginning of becoming even more powerful. If there is no change, no spirituality, then what difference is there between you and the dead things born and annihilated in the primordial chaos?"

Lord Yang listened silently.

He admitted that Ning Ze was right.

He was just worried about Ning Ze!

He's now hoping Lord Chaoyang will return soon, otherwise your family is in for a major crisis!

Thinking this, Ning Ze beckoned with his finger, and a rule of spacetime trembled. The rules of the entire Chaoyang World began to tremble as well, and the flow of time accelerated slightly.

Lord Yang's eyes widened, and he shouted in a panic, "What are you doing?"

"Let's speed things up in the Source World first!" Ning Ze said without turning his head.

Yang Daren's heart skipped a beat. "I'm not talking about speeding up time. I'm asking why you changed the flow of time in the source world without going through me?"

"Isn't this normal?" Ning Ze asked with some doubt in his eyes. "I haven't been studying for nothing all these years. Although I haven't fully grasped it, influencing some of the rules is still very simple."

"As for why it's possible, perhaps it's because they're too skilled?"

As he spoke, Ning Ze's fingers trembled incessantly, and a strange rhythm appeared within the supreme rules. Within this rhythm, only a wisp of rule served as a guide, yet it was able to cause the entire rule to change accordingly.

In the world of Chaoyang, time flies by.

Beings below the Saintly level have little feeling about changes in the rules. If time is fast, they are fast; if time is slow, they are slow. Like fish in the ocean, they have no resistance to the torrent and have little feeling about it.

In the Chaoyang World, those who reach the Saintly Realm, having fully mastered the laws and begun to comprehend the Dao of Rules, can sense changes in the flow of time to a certain extent.

For those God Emperors, it had no effect whatsoever; even a 100,000-fold acceleration was merely a slight increase in speed in their eyes.

These powerful beings all looked up at the great sun in the sky, knowing that all the changes were due to the actions of the controller.

Only those at the highest levels of this world truly know what has happened.

After staring blankly for a while, even a powerful figure like Gu Zhen suddenly unleashed his divine power, transforming into a streak of light that rushed towards Sheng Yang.

"So this is what a 100,000-fold time acceleration is like..." the burly man, as large as a small tower, muttered. "It feels pretty good, Luo Feng. Is this how things are on your Origin Continent?"

Luo Feng nodded slightly, "That's right. With a time acceleration of 100,000 times, the progress within the world is greatly accelerated, and powerful figures emerge in large numbers. Before long, it will save a world from the long evolution time."

"This is true for all beings below the God-King level. Only when one reaches the God-King level and begins to comprehend the rules does one become less sensitive to the flow of time. The speed of comprehending the rules is no longer solely affected by time. This level has a high resistance to the flow of time in a particular world, and only has a slight effect on promoting cultivation."

"Hmm, the rules are very dynamic. I think this is good. It won't be long before there are many more strong people in the Source World. Why didn't the Chaoyang World undergo a 100,000-fold acceleration before?" The burly man, who was as big as a small tower, was very puzzled.

Ning Ze slowly shook his head. "Although the world is incredibly powerful, it still has its limits."

"At present, the space and time in the Chaoyang World are very stable. Space is limited, and each region is just right."

"Geniuses are born from countless living beings. The current flow of space and time is sufficient for the development of living beings, but once the flow of time is changed by 100,000 times, the space required will be much more than just 100,000 times."

"The evolution of time flow speed by ten thousand times has a powerful impact on the rules. Time and space are merely the surface; the real test is for living beings! The rules that govern the evolution of living beings—that is the essence!"

"Because of the sheer size of the Chaoyang World, it can withstand a time flow rate of 100,000 times. However, if this continues for too long, the entire world risks collapsing!"

Upon hearing this, many world-class Chaos Origin experts turned their heads, their eyes filled with worry. Why did this sound so frightening?

Their Chaoyang World was doing well, but in the blink of an eye, it is in danger of destruction.

"Then, how do we solve this?" The burly man, who was as big as a small tower, was also a little alarmed and asked hurriedly.

"It's very simple. Just combine it with a rule evolution speed that exceeds the flow of time! As long as the entire world is evolving rapidly, that 100,000 times the flow of time is just a side effect, and everything can be balanced." Luo Feng replied softly, his expression calm. In his heart, he silently added that as long as there is no lack of spirit, there will be no problems for the time being.

He certainly wouldn't expose Ning Ze's secrets. It was precisely because the Origin Continent could no longer support an evolution speed of a billion times that the two of them came out to find a solution.

Ning Ze now wants to use this opportunity to further his cultivation at high speed, which is a good thing for him as the rapid evolution of the universe will not only benefit the lord alone.

The most typical example is the first batch of world-class Chaos Sources on the Origin Continent. They stood at the forefront of the development of the Origin World, witnessed the evolution of the rules, and grew up with the Origin World, which enabled them to advance to the level of world-class Chaos Sources in such a short time.

Which other world-class Hunyuan didn't traverse endless years within Hunyuan before finally achieving their goal in a particular world?

As for the safety of the Origin World... he knew Ning Ze's abilities and character, and he would never truly let the Origin World fall into danger.

"Alright, now you'll be in charge of maintaining the 100,000-fold time flow."

Ning Ze said something to the Holy Mother, who was stunned. "Me?"

Ning Ze ignored her. This Holy Mother was a derivative will of the supreme rule of the source world, and maintaining a time flow rate of 100,000 times was easy for her.

"Alright, now it's our turn!"

Ning Ze turned to Lord Yang and said.

Lord Yang trembled and whispered, "Us? Isn't a time flow rate of 100,000 times enough?"

Ning Ze grinned, his smile quite smug. "This is nothing! You've been living peacefully for so long, it's time for you to get moving!"

In his view, this primordial world is a special kind of being within the primordial chaos.

However, these special creatures have a higher starting point; once they mature, they reach the level of a Hunyuan Lord.

And once it matures, it reaches its peak.

If the developmental stage can be considered cultivation, then maturity is like taking a nap.

Over countless years, little will change; it will simply remain at a low level, merely surviving and waiting to die.

Of course, too rapid evolution and development could lead to the collapse of the source world. Even a small mistake could prevent it from ever being perfect again or as stable as it is now.

This is why many source worlds prioritize stability and are content with the status quo, only growing together with the Chaos Lord under special circumstances.

But isn't he here now?

Ning Ze was very familiar with this kind of thing. The Origin Continent was in the same situation at the beginning. In the end, no one was more proactive than the supreme rule will of the Origin Continent. It had not shown its will form for countless years, which shows how busy it was.

However, the effect is obvious. It saves the endless time of evolution. Even if it is not perfect, it is enough to rival those top source worlds. Once it is perfected, it will definitely be a level higher than many source worlds!

"Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Lord Yang asked in a low voice, his expression conflicted, still feeling very conflicted.

"This rule must have been refined later. It doesn't seem very useful. Is this considered improvement? It needs to be changed!" Ning Ze commented on the rules of the Chaoyang World to himself.

"This is a rule concerning spiritual veins, related to the gestation and cultivation of living beings..."

Before Lord Yang could finish speaking, Ning Ze was already looking at another rule. "This rule is an auxiliary rule for manifestation. In the source world, it means that the rules in certain places become more concentrated, and then some strange places are created?"

"These are rules that evolved later? What's the use of them? To create sacred cultivation grounds?"

Ning Ze shook his head, "No, no, it's ridiculous to make a rule for something like this."

"The environment is directly related to the size of the source world. If you really want to create some cultivation grounds, you only need to make minor modifications to the rule nodes to make them manifest. The effect of the cultivation grounds created at the beginning may not be that outstanding, but they will not occupy rule resources."

"Using such core rules to shape the environment? What a waste!"

Lord Yang opened his mouth. This was something Lord Chaoyang had helped it evolve, yet it had become so unbearable in Ning Ze's mouth? But in the end, he didn't say it. Ning Ze was right.

"Wasting the rules, digging their own grave—this constantly restricts the Source World, showing a complete lack of hope for its development from the very beginning!"

Ning Ze's gaze sharpened. "This won't do; it needs to be changed!"

"136 rules! Just for a little bit of fertility, this can't be solved by simply expanding the source world. Why do we need so many rules to assist us? Change it!"

"To reach a certain level of cultivation, there's even world applause? Couldn't the Holy Mother just give a token gesture? Why is it written into the rules? How lazy are you guys?" Ning Ze suddenly turned to look at Lord Yang.

Master Yang could barely open his mouth, and muttered a reply in a low voice, "Don't just look at the cheers and celebrations, there's also a blessing that can greatly enhance one's talent and comprehension, aiding in cultivation..."

"Alright! Stop talking!"

Ning Ze interrupted him directly, his voice cold and clear: "While it's true that powerful cultivators need a conducive environment, a superior environment alone doesn't guarantee strength! Ultimately, it comes down to talent and opportunity. You can't change your talent, you can only increase your opportunities. However, opportunities aren't given out like that. Unless you fundamentally improve your talent, such assistance is utterly useless!"

"This needs to be changed. It was originally meant to be an enhancement, but it should be changed to an auxiliary gestation, which would provide some improvement. But it's already like this, so we'll adjust it a bit later and treat it as a branch in the future."

In just a few words, Ning Ze changed the fate of another rule.

As Ning Ze continued to comment, Lord Yang fell completely silent, listening quietly as Ning Ze spoke.

He had to admit that Ning Ze was right.

After Lord Chaoyang perfected the Origin World, he only made slight modifications to it without making any major changes. It's normal that Ning Ze now sees these as useless.

"Rules concerning the path of cultivation..." Ning Ze pondered, while Lord Yang on the other end grew anxious, "These things cannot be altered!"

"Let's leave it for now." Ning Ze nodded. Modifying the rules involved the development of the source world, which he was quite familiar with.

In this process, the source world itself is the one making the effort; it is merely a guide!

As for the path of cultivation, it is inherently related to endless rules. There are too many paths to cultivation, and there are no clear rules or restrictions; it is just a general definition.

Ning Ze himself has not yet perfected the Dao of Control, so he will not rashly make changes to something that has no specific limitations.

The main reason is that, below the God Emperor level, this primordial world can be nurtured on its own. He only needs to increase the quantity and improve the quality of living beings.

Above the God Emperor level, those who have already left the Origin World no longer need the rules of a particular world. Many cultivation paths have no explicit restrictions; at worst, they can simply switch to cultivating the path of universe control.

"call!"

Lord Yang breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he hadn't changed it!

The four ultimate rules within his body, which are the rules of the cultivation path, are still relatively complete, but the others are about to undergo major changes. This made Lord Yang somewhat uneasy; everything had completely changed, and there wasn't a single familiar element. He couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"It's about time to begin. The Rising Sun World is quite ancient. The more rules are refined later, the more fixed its nature becomes. We can't rush it like we did in the Origin Continent. Let's increase the level tenfold!"

As he spoke, Ning Ze immediately took action, reaching out and grabbing, sending waves of divine power surging towards the rules.

"Don't!"

With a gasp, Ning Ze turned to look.

Lord Yang chuckled sheepishly, "I can do this myself, just don't use that special rhythm, I'll cooperate with you!"

Ning Ze blinked. The words sounded familiar. "You said the same thing before."

"Really!" Lord Yang gritted his teeth.

"I'll trust you one more time." Ning Ze said, releasing his grip and giving him a look that said, "It's your turn!" (End of Chapter)
