Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

Xingchen smiled slightly: "I have my own plans."

He stood up, his body shimmering with starlight: "Come with me."

The group followed Xingchen to the core area of ​​the Star Palace.

This place, which was originally the most heavily guarded part of the headquarters, is now an empty circular plaza with a diameter of one million kilometers.

"Okay."

Xingchen formed hand seals, and the primal power of the miniature universe within his body surged forth.

The space in the center of the plaza began to distort, and a gigantic vortex gradually took shape. This vortex had a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers, with starlight flowing inside and emitting a heart-stopping fluctuation.

"This is……"

"A passage to the Palace Master's miniature universe!"

The Azure Nether Venerable was the first to react, and said in shock.

Wow, it can be this big!

The passage that Xingchen previously opened at the Xingchen Palace headquarters was only a little over three meters high.

Compared to this, the difference is simply too great!

Chapter 188 Miniature Universe Development

Xingchen nodded: "That's right. This passage will be permanently open, connecting the Star Palace with my miniature universe."

He turned to Elena: "Choose a region within the miniature universe and build a cultivation continent. Leave this task to Qianwu."

The ruler of Qianwu immediately stepped forward, rubbing his hands excitedly: "Palace Master, rest assured! I'm the best at building continents, I guarantee they'll be even more magnificent than my Qianwu Continent!"

He has experience with this.

Xingchen then looked at Venerable Biyou: "You are in charge of organizing the manpower to relocate the Great Treasure Vault and the Supreme Treasure Vault to the newly built continent. Remember, you must set up a strict protection mechanism. Although it is in a small universe, we cannot let our guard down."

"As ordered!"

The Venerable Biyou responded respectfully.

In the days that followed, the Star Palace began a large-scale relocation.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, along with several Venerables skilled in the Law of Earth, entered a miniature universe and began constructing a continent in a starry sky.

They unleashed their divine power, condensing countless substances from the void.

One by one, barren planets were drawn in and decomposed and reassembled under the influence of the laws.

In just one month, a supercontinent with a diameter of over one billion kilometers began to take shape.

At the center of the continent stands a magnificent palace complex, the location of a treasure trove.

The surrounding area is planned with different functional zones such as training area, residential area, and experimental area.

The shaman even went so far as to create nine artificial stars in the sky above the continent, which rotated according to mysterious trajectories to simulate the fluctuations of the laws of the primordial universe.

Meanwhile, Venerable Biyou organized a transport team composed of immortal kings to transport more than 50,000 treasures from the treasure vault to smaller universes in batches. Each treasure was escorted by a special person to ensure its safe transport.

Xingchen was present throughout the entire process, personally setting up defensive barriers for the mainland.

He set up nine layers of shackles around the continent, each containing profound laws at the level of a universe master. These were condensed by him through miniature universes, and even the strongest beings in the universe would have to put in a lot of effort to break through them.

In all that time, he survived all sorts of unexpected situations.

Three hundred years later, the relocation was completed.

Star stood above the newly built continent, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

This sacred cultivation ground, named "Star Continent," will become the future core of the Star Palace.

"Palace Master, everything is ready."

Elena came to report.

"As you instructed, we have established a new contribution system."

Xingchen took the plan from Elena and read it carefully. The new system stipulates:

1. Breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm grants the qualification to permanently reside on the Star Continent.

2. Accumulate enough contribution points to redeem entry qualifications.

3. Every ten thousand years, the Starry Sky Secret Realm selects one thousand of the most outstanding geniuses to enter the mainland for cultivation;

4. All entrants must swear an oath never to betray the Star Palace;

"very good."

Xingchen nodded in agreement.

"In addition, a 'Star Pavilion' will be established on the mainland to store and organize cultivation insights and secret techniques. Members who meet the requirements can apply to view them."

"Of course, you can also use points to exchange for them. We can learn from the virtual universe about the mechanism for cultivating geniuses and adopt the points system as well."

"Yes!"

Elena quickly wrote it down.

The news caused an uproar throughout the Star Palace. To be able to cultivate within a small universe belonging to a Universe Lord—what an incredibly rare opportunity!

It's worth noting that even core members of the Virtual Universe Company can only enjoy similar treatment in Chaos City.

The enthusiasm of the Star Palace members soared to unprecedented heights. Completing tasks, exploring secret realms, and developing technologies, everyone worked tirelessly to accumulate contribution points, hoping to gain entry qualifications as soon as possible.

Xingchen stood at the highest point of the Star Continent, overlooking this newly born holy land of cultivation.

He knew that from this day forward, the Star Palace would enter a completely new phase of development. With a miniature universe as its backing, the Star Palace would eventually become one of the strongest pillars of the human race.

The construction of the Star Continent will take time; it cannot be completed in a day or two.

Although the Star Continent is quite good now, without the Chaos Monument, it ultimately lacks some core competitiveness.

However, the Chaos Monument is a treasure of the entire human race.

The Star Continent is already quite good now.

Standing on the Star Gazing Platform of the Star Continent, gazing at the dazzling starry sky, Xingchen suddenly smiled and said, "After being in seclusion for so long, it's time to go out and take a walk."

He appeared in the vast starry sky of human territory with a flicker of his figure. This time, he didn't use teleportation, but instead casually summoned an ordinary E-class spaceship, which slowly sailed through the universe.

"Speaking of which, I haven't relaxed since I started cultivating, and I haven't had a chance to properly see the prosperity of the human race."

Xingchen sat in the spaceship's control room, sipping fine wine and admiring the beautiful nebulae that kept flashing past the window.

The spaceship traversed one star system after another, and the stars witnessed the flourishing of human civilization:

"The human race is indeed more prosperous than I imagined."

"Stars sighed."

Just then, the spaceship received a universe-wide broadcast from the Virtual Universe Corporation:

The 10081st Ultimate Genius Battle has officially begun! All stellar-level human geniuses are welcome to participate! The top 1000 finalists will gain entry into the core layer of the Virtual Universe Corporation!

"Oh? A battle of top geniuses?"

Xingchen's eyes lit up.

"Just in time."

He immediately retrieved the detailed competition information. This ultimate genius battle was held once every five thousand years and was one of the most important competitions for selecting geniuses among the human race. The entire selection process would be divided into several stages, including preliminary rounds by cosmic nations and the final battle in the arena.

"It's good to go and see what's going on."

With a thought, Xingchen's spaceship quickly arrived at a cosmic nation called "Sky Dome." The preliminary rounds were in full swing in the virtual universe there.

Xingchen entered the virtual universe and randomly chose a viewing hall to enter. On the huge virtual screen, tens of thousands of geniuses were fighting in a special map.

Although the battles of these stellar-level creatures were like child's play in Xingchen's eyes, he watched them with great interest.

"That little guy with the sword is not bad; his understanding of the laws is already taking shape."

"Huh? That girl has a strong talent for psychic abilities."

……

As Xingchen watched, he commented on the performances. Although the performances of these geniuses seemed immature to him at his current level, their vigor and fighting spirit pleased him.

Suddenly, Xingchen's gaze was drawn to a silver-haired youth. This youth, wielding twin swords, moved across the battlefield like a ghost, having already defeated dozens of opponents in succession.

"This is... the fundamental law of space? It has actually reached such a level!"

Xingchen was slightly surprised.

"I never expected to see such a genius in the qualifiers of this universe country."

He immediately retrieved the boy's information:

Name: Coty

Origin: Celestial Universe Kingdom - Silver Empire

Level: Stellar-level, Rank 9

Chapter 189 Coty!

Xingchen was taken aback.

Coty? Is this the Coty I know? My teacher's future student?

What a coincidence! It can't just be a case of the same name, can it?

Xingchen stared at the silver-haired boy on the virtual screen, her brows furrowing slightly: "Couti... could he be the same Couti from the original story?"

He gently swirled the wine in his glass, lost in thought.

The number of humans in the universe is so vast that it's perfectly normal for people to share the same name. But to display such astonishing spatial law talent at the stellar level is truly rare.

"Look again."

Xingchen decided to continue observing.

On the screen, Coty's fighting style became increasingly fierce.
