Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

"The Land of Origin is only so vast. Logically, such a strong entity shouldn't suddenly emerge," Emperor Qing said thoughtfully. "I'll ask the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms to see if it's him."

The eleven Emperors were also waiting; their prime suspect at the moment was indeed the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms.

Previously, they had confirmed the black-robed figure to be Di Fu of Luo He, but now some doubts arose. After all, it's been not long since Luo He achieved the Godly King realm. Could he suppress eight Emperors working together? And without leaving any traces?

"Whoosh—"

Emperor Qing sat there.

Yet a ripple had already crossed vast distances, descending upon the capital of Wanjie Kingdom.

...

"Lord." A thought arrived in this capital.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Realms was currently in closed-door cultivation. He was tall and had a gentle appearance. Looking up at the condensing figure of Emperor Qing in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh, "Old friend, your strength has become more and more unfathomable."

In this era, only the two of them on the Land of Origin had comprehended the complete Great Dao! They were competitors as well as fellow travelers.

It's just that Emperor Qing's resource conditions were much better than the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms, taking a step ahead to reach Above God King! And he began to venture into the outside world, increasing the gap between them.

"Venturing into the outer worlds, although more dangerous, also offers more experiences and opportunities," Emperor Qing smiled at the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms. "I invited you to join me in the past, yet you were reluctant."

"You reached Above God King before venturing out. I still remain in the Ultimate Realm," said the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms. "The difference between the Ultimate Realm and Above God King is qualitative. Ordinary beings in the Ultimate Realm... life in the outside worlds is still too harsh for them."

"We are both creatures nurtured by the Source World, protected by the Supreme Rules of the Source World," Emperor Qing said. "Even if our avatars die in the outside worlds, the avatars that stay at home can recover their strength and dispatch new avatars."

This is the advantage of creatures from the Source World.

Born in the Source World and possessing Clone Technique! The likelihood of death becomes very low.

"I've heard that the outer worlds also face a great crisis! It could even affect the avatars within the Source World," said the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms.

"Yes."

Emperor Qing said, "If you're really unlucky and encounter High Level Primordial Life! Their level of life, their realm... is too high above us. Even though the Supreme Rules can block many attacks, Soul Pollution is unavoidable."

"Once we're contaminated, all our avatars' souls will be contaminated." Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

"Too strong contamination, even avatars will completely perish," Emperor Qing explained.

Previously, Luo Feng's Spiritual Will in the Ultimate Realm of God King, just a segment of a dream vision, resulted in a mild contamination.

"High Level Primordial Life, so terrifying," the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms was shocked.

"The probability is very low," Emperor Qing said. "Predecessors like Yuan are also trying to protect us, the weaker ones, and are working hard to nurture us! Thus, we only face Low Level Primordial Life. If a Low Level Primordial Life could evolve into a 'High Level Primordial Life' and we happen to encounter it? That would just mean we have bad luck."

"You see, the Ancestors of the two countries also lived for so long," Emperor Qing smiled. "As long as we are a bit more careful and avoid the most dangerous places, those of us from the Source World with avatars are relatively safe."

"Is it true that most creatures from outside worlds don't have avatars?" the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms asked curiously.

Emperor Qing nodded: "Only creatures born in the Source World might have avatars. That's also an advantage of us, the creatures of the Source World!"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Realms nodded in understanding.

"By the way, that black-robed figure who killed Di Yuan, do you know his identity?" asked Emperor Qing.

"The battle back then was massive. I observed from a distance and only saw the Endless Blood River and the Primordial Space Eight Phases Array; I couldn't see through the identity of the black-robed figure," said the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms. "You didn't suspect it was me?"

"On the surface, the most likely one in the Land of Origin with the strength to do this would be you," Emperor Qing said with a smile. "But I know you too well; it's not your style."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Realms nodded: "I too wonder, just who is this black-robed figure? Even the eight Emperors using the Primordial Space Eight Phases Array couldn't stand against him, yet he managed to suppress it."

Emperor Qing frowned: "If it's not you, and it can't be the East Extreme Domain Ancestor, then who could it be?"

"The rise of a strong entity is a process. From Primal Chaos Realm, First Realm of Godly King, Second Realm of Godly King, to the Ultimate Realm, growing step by step. In theory, there should be traces," the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms said.

"The Lord of the Shadow Sky Realm also cultivates the 'Matter' and 'Infinite' Great Daos. If he achieves Ultimate! By pioneering a new Great Dao and being recognized by the Infinite Space, he could exchange for a very suitable and powerful Secret Treasure for himself, it is possible to exert such strength," the Lord of Ten Thousand Realms speculated. "The Infinite Space rewards generously for pioneering a Great Dao."

"The Fire Ancestor is even more favored by Yuan and also has a slim possibility."

"And that Luo He, Luo He who just entered the Primal Chaos Realm, is already demonstrating a Transcending Primal Chaos strength. Just becoming a Godly King, he is already the strongest First Realm Godly King ever known. Just entering the Second Realm of Godly King... he is capable of contending with the Dark Sky Venerable of the Destruction Army. This Luo He, could also possibly create miracles."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Realms thought, "Considering the entire Land of Origin, those capable of creating miracles, doing inconceivable things, could only be these three. Other cultivators' talents all fall short compared to them."

"Shadow Sky Realm, Fire Ancestor, Luo He?" Emperor Qing smiled, "No rush, with such strength, he will reveal more and more of himself."

The Lord of Ten Thousand Realms nodded.

The strength of the black-robed figure is too terrifying; they don't want to risk exposing his identity.

...

Flame Wind Ancient Country and Thunder Ancient Country occupy the very center of the Land of Origin, which is also the most prosperous area. Surrounding them are also Tianmu Kingdom, Wanjie Kingdom, two top-tier countries, and a large number of second and third-tier countries.

The "Iron Demon Lord," ranked first in sins in the Land of Origin, initially dominated a second-rate country and even essentially controlled the surrounding dozen or so countries—as he had once plundered the populations of twelve countries in one swoop. The surrounding Godly Kings had long fled, not willing to be neighbors with this Iron Demon Lord.

Now...

Di Yuan is dead, and the Iron Demon Lord has also disappeared.

The surrounding dozen or so countries have lost their Leader! Naturally, there were undercurrents of strife.

"The territory actually controlled by the Iron Demon Lord includes three second-rate countries and thirteen third-rate countries! A total of no less than 359 Primal Chaos Prefectures. Such a vast area qualifies to establish a first-rate country."

"There are many forces coveting this territory."

"There are forces backed by the two Ancient Countries, the three Alien Clans, and that Black-Robed figure might also intervene."

Various forces initially restrained themselves, but over time they gradually began to fight each other.

...

Huyang City, city owner's mansion.

Luo Feng was inside the Star Tower, examining the Spoils of War before him.

A red cloak, a set of armor, a bead, a pair of gloves, and a pair of combat boots.

"Five Beyond God King Level Secret Treasures." Luo Feng was also studying the mysteries contained in these treasures, "Unfortunately, these five treasures are most suitable for Di Yuan; each one is centered around the 'Origin Dao of the World.'"

These five treasures.

Each one is centered around the 'Origin Dao of the World,' while also encompassing many other mysteries; clearly, they are above the Godly King level.

"This bead, for instance, has some use." Luo Feng picked up a black bead containing an evolving abyss, "This bead, with the world at its core, and accommodating both the paths of Life and Destruction. The three paths evolve the abyss together; it is somewhat helpful for me."

"These gloves also hold some mysteries of the Destruction Path."

"As for the other treasures, I can't use them at all."

Luo Feng felt helpless.

Exchanging treasures in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, one can freely choose, selecting what is most suitable for oneself.

But what about the Spoils of War from killing Di Yuan? No choice, they were the Secret Treasures suitable for Di Yuan.

"Even this bead is centered around the Dao of the World." Luo Feng was somewhat disdainful; this Abyss Pearl could be used to aid in cultivation but was unsuitable for combat.

"These five treasures are wasted in my hands, I should think of a way to sell them." Luo Feng pondered.

"Master, Master," Morosa suddenly transmitted a message.

Luo Feng's thoughts moved, summoning Morosa in.

"What's wrong?" Luo Feng looked at Morosa.

"Master, the realm essentially dominated by the Iron Demon Lord has now erupted into conflict between various parties." Morosa couldn't help but say, "Shall we intervene and seize that territory?"

Luo Feng waved his hand, and a vast map of the Land of Origin appeared before him.

"The Iron Demon Lord essentially controlled three second-rate countries and thirteen third-rate countries; the territory is quite extensive," Luo Feng observed.

"It was the support from Di Yuan that enabled him to govern such a territory," Morosa spoke, "Di Yuan's death naturally attracted many forces. Such a vast territory with its regular output of rare natural treasures, the Residence Fees provided by countless Cultivators, and even some demons devouring Creatures... this vast area will attract many ancient existences."

"They are now fighting, even minor repercussions will affect many weaker Cultivators," Morosa looked at Luo Feng, "If the master were to govern this territory, it could also become stable."

Luo Feng carefully observed the Land of Origin map, pondering for a moment.

"Killing these Great Sinners does indeed leave behind quite a bit of territory." Luo Feng looked down and casually drew a line, "The territory of the Iron Demon Lord, the territory of the Black Vulture Ancestor, and the leftover territory of the Sky Hou God King, are all in this area."

With this stroke.

The Iron Demon Lord was between the two Ancient Countries.

The Black Vulture Ancestor was on the side of the Thunder Ancient Country.

The line drawn by Luo Feng completely encapsulated both, as well as some countries, forming a slender strip-shaped territorial pattern.

"This territory has been in long-term conflicts, and there are many demons lurking," Luo Feng said, "We'll take it over."

"Master, the Black Vulture Ancestor is still alive and is in control of this territory. He actually controls 287 Primal Chaos Prefectures. It's said that he controls it, but in reality, it's the Thunder Mountain Monarchs behind him," Morosa couldn't help but say, "We've just seriously offended the Flame Wind Ancient Country, and now we're going to take away such a large territory from the hands of Thunder Mountain?"

"Does the Black Vulture Ancestor have an opinion? Or do the Monarchs behind him dare have an opinion?" Luo Feng glanced at Morosa.

Morosa shivered.

He was still too timid!

"We'll follow the master's decision," Morosa immediately responded.

Luo Feng looked at the territory map before him; with this stroke, he had delineated a territory comprising 729 Primal Chaos Prefectures! In terms of size, it was much larger than Tianmu Kingdom, Wanjie Kingdom, and East Extreme Domain, and it came close to matching the two Ancient Countries.
