Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 189

Zetton's clone instantly appeared in a starry sky. In front of him, there was a raging wind that resembled a giant python. One black gale after another howled and covered billions of kilometers, just like pythons playing with each other, traversing the starry sky.

Behind him, there was also a black whirlwind, its width unknown, spanning billions of kilometers.

"Black Tornado, it seems we've arrived at the Ancestral Mystic Realm."

The Jaden clone looked at these terrifying black whirlwinds and dared not touch them.

This whirlwind is called the Black Tornado Whirlwind, and it is the most common danger in the Ancestral Mystic Realm. The small whirlwind in front of him can seriously injure a Universe Venerable, while the large whirlwind behind him can completely annihilate a Universe Venerable.

Before arriving, Zetton's clone had also collected a lot of information about the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

The size of the Ancestral Mystic Realm is comparable to that of a cosmic nation, with a maximum diameter reaching 1.6 million light-years.

Moreover, among all the secret realms of the primordial universe, the Ancestral Mystic Realm is among the most dangerous.

As for why, besides natural environmental factors, the strongest force in the primordial universe is in this secret realm, so it is naturally dangerous.

Of course, this strongest force in the universe is only useful within the original universe. Outside the original universe, its influence is probably not as great as that of the six top races.

The Jaden clone waited quietly in the starry sky. The next moment, it seemed to sense something, and the yellow light on its chest flashed instantly.

"Spatial teleportation!"

Suddenly, the calm void around Zetton's clone began to distort, and then instantly swallowed it into the space.

In the blink of an eye, an endless, colorful river instantly came into the view of Zetton's clone.

This colorful river is vast and full of magical power, drawing people in and making them stare at it.

"Not bad, you were able to detect my spatial teleportation. Your spatial perception is quite good!"

A voice of praise rang out, and then a Rock Venerable from the Fei Cang Clan, about eight meters tall, with a dark green body and wearing purple fire armor, appeared in front of Zetton's clone.

"You are a special life form, aren't you!" The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan spoke with certainty. With a body of flesh and blood, tens of thousands of kilometers in size, and an aura that revealed a unique nobility, and being a species that had never been seen before, it was almost certainly a special life form.

“Yes, the will of the universe bestowed the name ‘Zetton’,” Zetton’s clone replied, and then its body, which was tens of thousands of kilometers long, began to shrink until it was the same height as the cosmic venerable one in front of it.

Although it was produced by an external source, it was indeed certified by the original universe and belongs to a unique and special life form in the universe.

"Alright, I am the guide of the Ancestral God Sect." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan's tone became much more friendly again.

As is well known, the Ancestral God Cult takes it upon itself to uphold the will of the primordial universe, and special life forms are, to some extent, born from the primordial universe. Therefore, the Ancestral God Cult is naturally compatible with these special life forms, and the more special they are, the more compatible they are.

"Do you have the Beast God's Inheritance Token with you? If not, then we're in trouble."

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan inquired, "If one enters the Ancestral God Sect without carrying the Beast God's Inheritance Token, then one can only wait to die."

However, if you are a special life form, then there is still room for negotiation before you die. If you are not special enough, you will still have to die. If you are special enough, the Ancestral God Sect does not lack the Beast God Inheritance Order.

“I was born in a remote cosmic secret realm. During my adventure there, I happened to obtain the Beast God Inheritance Token. Therefore, after cultivating to the Immortal Realm, I followed the location on the token and came here.”

Zetton's clone took out the Beast God's Inheritance Token and casually made up an origin story.

"I see!"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan nodded. Special beings usually only go out after cultivating to the level of an immortal god, otherwise they are easily possessed.

"Come with me!"

After confirming their identities, the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan led the way, with Jeton's clone following behind.

"Jetton, let me show you around." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan teleported with Jetton's clone to a boundless, surging, colorful, dreamlike river.

The entire river is composed of countless auroras, which are also divided into five colors. From a distance, it looks like a long river.

“This is the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a treasured guardian of our Ancestral God Sect!” said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan. “Because of its location, it looks like a river, but from above, it is an almost circular, endless lake.”

"This Five-Colored Aurora Lake... has a maximum diameter of 1 light-years and boundless power. Each aurora alone is enough to severely injure a cosmic venerable. The entire lake is composed of endless aurora, with limitless power, making it one of the strongest treasures in the vast universe."

"Colorful Aurora Lake!"

Zetton's clone gazed at this supreme treasure. If he remembered correctly, it should have been bestowed upon him personally by the primordial will of the universe.

"If we send Ultraman's clone, I wonder if there's a chance to directly make this supreme treasure recognize its master?"

The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan was boasting about the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, while the Jetton clone was already thinking about how to move this supreme treasure away.

As the most powerful being in this cosmic sea, the Primordial Cosmic Will has hidden many treasures; a mere supreme treasure is nothing in comparison.

"As expected of the number one power in the universe, impressive!" Zetton's clone complimented.

"Of course, our Ancestral God Sect is dedicated to maintaining the operation of the original universe and is favored by the will of the universe. We have no shortage of all kinds of treasures, and even our inheritance is scattered throughout the universe," said the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan proudly, while also spreading his teachings.

Anyone who sees this multicolored aurora lake, whose power is almost fully unleashed, will feel a longing for the Ancestral God Sect.

After all, apart from the Star Tower in the outer battlefield, there is no other supreme treasure that can be viewed and even touched in this way.

"Let's go, I'll take you to Purple Thorn Island first." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan teleported directly with Jeton's clone.

As the stars shifted, Zetton's clone was already at the edge of the colorful aurora lake in the blink of an eye, only a few hundred meters away.

Each aurora borealis was about 10,000 kilometers long, radiating a vast and unparalleled power.

"Come in with me, Purple Thorn Island is inside." Clan Chief Fei Cang walked in front: "You have the Beast God Inheritance Token, which is equivalent to gaining the approval of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake. You will not be hindered when you come in and out."

"understand!"

Zetton's clone looked into the aurora and could vaguely see an island, though it appeared very blurry under the endless aurora.

Then, Zetton's clone extended its yellow pincers and touched the aurora. It did not stop it, but nothing particularly special happened either.

Zetton's clone thought to himself, "What a pity." It seemed that the Ultra clone was special and had nothing to do with him. Then he flew directly into the aurora.

As Jaden's clone flew through it, it felt as if it were moving through real lake water. The aurora's touch on its body felt incredibly comfortable, and as it got closer, the Bauhinia Island appeared to grow larger and larger.

"hehe!"

The Fei Cang Clan Lord in front of him was perfectly aware of Jetton's avatar's ulterior motives.

Over the years, almost everyone who has crossed this aurora has, after overcoming the initial fear, tried to see if they could receive a special response from the colorful aurora lake.

"I'm afraid only figures at the level of the three Ancestral Gods could receive a response from the Five-Colored Aurora Lake," the Fei Cang Clan Lord thought to himself.

Chapter 252 Bauhinia Island

"Purple Thorn Island is where you, the inheritors of the Beast Gods, reside, and it is also the outermost edge of the Five-Colored Aurora Lake." The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan arrived above Purple Thorn Island with his Jeton clone.

"Bauhinia Island!"

Jaden's clone looked down at the island. The entire Bauhinia Island was millions of kilometers in diameter, and there were no aurora borealis within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers around it.

Looking around, the island is filled with palaces, each with its own unique characteristics and a powerful aura, almost none of them weaker than a king.

To demonstrate the fairness of the primordial universe, the Beast God Inheritance Tokens are randomly distributed throughout the primordial universe. Whether powerful or weak, all races have the opportunity to obtain a Beast God Inheritance Token and travel to the Ancestral Mystic Realm.

The entire Purple Thorn Island is a gathering place for powerful beings from all races in the universe. Billions of races exist here, mysterious and different forms and essences of life. Each one has a powerful aura. Even special life forms that are extremely rare in the outside world exist here.

"The lives of billions of races!"

As Jetton's clone looked down at the Bauhinia Road, a primal urge to devour it flickered within him.

Those who come to the Ancestral God Cult, whether from a top-tier or a weak race, demonstrate that their race possesses certain unique characteristics.

These are still races that can be called races, but there are many other races that probably can't even leave their home planets.

“That’s fantastic!” Jaden’s clone whispered.

“That’s right. This area is an outward manifestation of the laws governing the operation of the primordial universe, and it is the best proof that the primordial universe acknowledges the Ancestral God Cult,” the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan responded.

"Oh!"

It was only then that Zetton's clone realized what was happening and turned its attention to its surroundings.

All that could be seen was a series of rings of light and shadow enveloping the entire Bauhinia Island. These rings of light and shadow were constantly expanding, disappearing at the edges, while new rings of light were born in the center.

One aperture ring within another, like ripples on water, constantly spreading outwards.

Birth, annihilation!

So endless... Each ring of light and shadow is composed of countless threads of laws, including the laws of time, space, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light, as well as many fusion laws and even more incredibly mysterious threads of laws, all intertwined to make each ring of light perfectly complete.

Even the Zetton clone, who had spent a long time in the primordial universe, couldn't help but immerse itself in it, as the cyclical and illusory halo seemed to interpret all the mysteries of the universe.

"Our Ancestral God Cult is the number one power in the universe. With the maintenance of the laws governing the universe as its core, it is naturally protected by the laws governing the universe!" Clan Lord Fei Cang stared intently at Jeton's clone.

"Our Ancestral God Sect possesses the Ancestral Mystic Realm... which has the most unique life forms and the most unique treasures in the universe. The Five-Colored Aurora Lake is also a gift from the laws of the universe to our Ancestral God Sect."

"What my Ancestral God Sect does is in accordance with the laws of the universe. Anyone who goes against the Ancestral God Sect is going against the laws of the universe!" the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said domineeringly.

"The Ancestral God Sect is so powerful, there must be a true god among them, right?"

Jeton's clone looked at the proud Fei Cang Clan Venerable and wanted to ask him that question, but for the sake of his life, he could only go along with the praise.

Although the Ancestral God Sect is incredibly powerful in terms of mid-to-high-end strength, with a significantly larger number of Universe Venerables and Universe Lords compared to other forces in the universe.

However, at this time, there were no true gods in the Ancestral God Sect. The three Ancestral Gods could only exert the level of a sixth-order Universe Lord. There were no truly top-level beings, so their deterrent power was always somewhat insufficient.

Since the birth of the universe, many of the eight most important beast gods in the Ancestral God Sect have died, and the flesh and blood of the Golden Sky Beast God still exist in the Blood Luo Continent.

"You may not fully understand the importance and power of the Ancestral God Sect since you just came out of the secret realm. You will understand after living here for hundreds of millions of years," the Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan said with a smile.

"Come with me. The first thing all the Beast God inheritors do upon arriving on the island is to build their residences!" The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan landed on Zijing Island with his Jeton clone.

"Approximately how many inheritors are there on Purple Thorn Island now?" Jeton's clone asked curiously.

“If we consider the living inheritors, there are probably only a little over one hundred million.” The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pondered for a moment: “Although countless inheritors have been accumulated since the beginning of the universe, many inheritors have either died or lost their Beast God Inheritance Tokens.”

Although the Lord of the Universe can resurrect the dead, the Beast God's Inheritance Token is tainted with the aura of the laws governing the universe, making the cost of reversing time extremely high, almost equivalent to retrieving a treasure from the river of time.

However, the price that a cosmic lord would pay to rewind time to retrieve a treasure far exceeds the treasure itself, so almost no cosmic lord would be willing to make such a losing deal.

After all, treasures are just inanimate objects, not living things, and they don't have any added value such as race, emotions, or relationships.

"Over one hundred million!" The two yellow lights on the chest of the Jaden clone flashed slightly.

“Actually, you inheritors can only be considered to reside in the Ancestral God Sect, which is the core of the Ancestral God Sect.” The Venerable of the Fei Cang Clan pointed to an incomparably dazzling palace in the sky.

The entire Ancestral God Cult consists of three core Ancestral Gods, eight Beast Gods, 72 Divine Generals, and 3000 Divine Messengers. This is a predetermined fate under the operation of the universe.

In addition, there are some who join the Church of the Main God but are unwilling to be restricted by these cosmic positions.

After all, whether it is the position of a divine general or a beast god, once one takes office, although one will instantly gain great strength, one will also lose the possibility of further progress.

Therefore, many people are unwilling to inherit these positions, and these people constitute the peripheral members of the Ancestral God Cult.
