Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 483

Compared to the simple and clear guidance of the primordial universe, the entire path of origin is indeed more obscure and more difficult to comprehend.

"No wonder the indigenous people of the continent lost to the lineage from three thousand latitudes; this is probably part of the reason."

Sphia splits his mind and body, but it has nothing to do with him; he resolves all troubles invisibly and without form.

This ability truly grows stronger the more you use it, and you can feel the power of a hundred thousand times the genes. It's not just a strengthening at the gene level; it's practically an evolution at the dimensional level.

Just when I thought I had found the right way to use my abilities, the intangible and formless always managed to deliver more surprises.

"drop!"

Sphia's clone was immersed in comprehending the entire Origin World when the identity token in the storage ring suddenly lit up.

"Summoned by the Temple of Origin? Could it be that my identity has been exposed?"

Sphia's clone was somewhat puzzled. If his identity had been exposed, then it wasn't a summons, but rather the direct arrival of a God-King.

Subsequently, Sphia's avatar inquired with other familiar Eternal Gods and discovered that many of them had received summons, not individual summons.

Those who were summoned were basically the most powerful among the eternal true gods.

"What is the Origin Temple trying to do by summoning so many Eternal True Gods at once?"

Sphia's clone pondered, but it's most likely still aimed at the Three Thousand Dimensions. The only question is, to what extent do they intend to go?

Upon seeing the summons, Sphia's clone hesitated for a moment before deciding to go and see as well.

If he is exposed, he will only lose one clone. But if he doesn't go, he will still be exposed. In essence, there is not much difference.

"Then go ahead."

Not only the rock, but also the Chaos God and the Rock Vulture were summoned by the Temple of Origin.

They became friends after a fight, and after discussing it, the three of them went to the Temple of Origin together.

Upon arriving at the Temple of Origin, the three of them instantly calmed down, gazing at the distant temple with reverence.

The value of the Temple of Origin lies not in its magnificence, but rather in its role as a religious structure.

There was no other way; they had been driven from the most prosperous areas to the most remote and miserable places. Without some kind of faith, they really couldn't be subdued.

When people say it's a harsh and remote place, they are mainly referring to the cultivation environment and resource environment. As for the living environment, even a true god has a small universe and has no need for that.

As if to conceal it slightly, the summoned Eternal Gods were not gathered together, but instead went to various locations within the Temple of Origin.

"It seems we won't see the true essence of the Origin lineage."

Sphia's clone pondered for a moment, then, led by the true god's guard, arrived before a tall, nine-story divine tower.

"The Tower of Origin!"

Sphia's clone looked at the large characters on the tower; this divine tower was also an important symbol in the Origin lineage.

Within the Origin lineage, there are two divine towers. One is the Tower of Genius, which is mainly for beings at the level of the Lord of the Universe, and tests their level of genius.

This Tower of Genius has been built in many regions, including one in the territory of the Rock, and many cosmic lords like to venture into it.

If they perform well, they might even be personally accepted as disciples by the Chaos Ruler or even a leader at the God-King level.

This also gives the rulers of the universe an opportunity to enter the field of vision of true powerhouses, and they don't have to worry about their genius being buried.

There is another one, which is the divine tower in front of us, also known as the Tower of the Strong.

Due to the influence of the environment, although realm is respected, combat strength is also respected.

You don't need to reach a certain level; you just need to demonstrate the corresponding strength to obtain equal status and treatment.

As it develops further, it also becomes a manifestation of the potential of the strong.

To be called the Tower of the Strong, the minimum requirement for clearing this divine tower is to reach the level of an Eternal True God.

If one can reach the ninth level, one will possess strength surpassing that of a Chaos Overlord. Beyond that, a mere treasure is no longer sufficient to test one's abilities.

As for the True God and Void True God realms, these two realms possess some talent, but it is not very evident; they have some strength, but not much.

Truly talented individuals rarely linger at these two levels, and therefore there are very few evaluation and assessment standards for these two levels.

The Origin God Tower is of a very high level, and it has opened many void gates directly in the Origin God Temple, which can fully meet the needs of many eternal true gods to enter from different places without having to squeeze with others or wait.

"boom!"

Sphia's clone flew into the tower gate, the surrounding space layered upon layered, crossing through barriers before finally landing on a vast, desolate land.

On the earth, there stands a pillar reaching to the sky, inscribed with the words "Origin".

Around this celestial pillar, there are also a large number of nearly transparent stone pillars, each containing a humanoid creature.

Looking at the creatures inside these stone pillars, Sphia's clone's expression changed. Humanoid, white-faced, earless, bald—a figure he was extremely familiar with.

"World beast!"

……

"World beast!"

At the very top of the Temple of Origin, a group of figures exuding an aura as vast as the universe took in all the figures of the Eternal True Gods who had entered the Temple of Origin this time.

"This assessment of the Origin God Tower is quite difficult. I wonder how many people will be able to meet the requirements!" A voice like colliding rocks rang out.

“Increasing the difficulty is justified. Since we might encounter world beasts this time, we should let them prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard,” said the First Leader, Origin God, calmly.

He reconstructed a portion of the power belonging to the Beast Realm from ancient history and records, and placed it in the Divine Tower as a test.

Difficulty and reward go hand in hand. The price of this reward is so high that even he, as a god-king, feels the pinch. Naturally, he has to increase the difficulty to select those who truly have potential.

"Let's take a gamble and see how many levels they can reach?" A flippant voice rang out, quickly drawing many echoes of agreement.

……

Inside the temple!

"World Beast Warrior!"

Sphia's clone looked into the stone pillar and felt a familiar aura emanating a strong sense of destruction.

The auras of these stone pillars varied in strength, but even the weakest possessed the power of an eternal true god, while the strongest had even reached the level of a Chaos Overlord.

At the very center, there was a truly world-destroying aura, so powerful that even the realm of Eternal True Gods trembled in fear.

A king with two snow-white horns on his forehead. These Beast Warriors were all created by the Beast King based on his own appearance. Overall, they are not very different, except that they lack the two horns that symbolize supreme royal power.

"It seems something really did happen within the Origin Clan. They actually used World Beast Warriors as an assessment, which wasn't the case before," Sphia's clone thought to himself.

In Pan Shi's memory, the previous divine body trials were basically conducted according to the standards of the Three Thousand Dimensions lineage, since it was necessary to familiarize oneself with the battles against enemies.

Then, a stone pillar cracked open, and a Beast Warrior was awakened and stepped out.

"First level completion requirement: Kill the enemy in front of you!" The voice of the intelligent spirit of the Divine Tower rang in the ears of Sphia's clone.

"start!"

……

Chapter 486 Warriors and Army

"kill!"

The Beast Warriors who emerged from the stone pillars held blood-stained spears and stared coldly at the challengers, as if they were looking at another species, or rather, food.

A mere glance can evoke a psychological response in a normal person.

As soon as the intelligent voice of the Divine Tower sounded, the Beast Warriors instantly charged forward, brandishing their spears.

The aura emanating from the spear even triggered a reaction from the surrounding天地源源 (the source of heaven and earth), which wanted to repel it but was also afraid of it.

Sphia's clone understood this very well: the World Beast Warriors were born from the Path of Destruction and were inherently incompatible with the outside world.

Therefore, they would never fight using the natural world like they do, and would even provoke rejection.

"when!"

A stone axe blocked the blood-red spear, then flashed with axe light, leaving a long trail in the air.

In an instant, the Beast Soldier's body was split in two. One half of his body was still holding a spear, while the other half transformed from a fist into a claw.

Although its body was split in two, the Beast Soldier's eyes remained unwavering, as if it were an invisible weapon.

"die!"

Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great. No matter how the Beast Warriors resisted, they could not withstand the bombardment of the axe light.

Having a thorough understanding of the World Beast soldiers, Sphia's clone gave them no chance to retaliate once it made its move, continuing to annihilate them until not a single remnant remained before finally putting down its weapon.

"Not bad!"

The numerous leaders at the very top of the tower also took into account the actions of all the challengers, including Sphia's clone.

"These Beast Warriors are completely different from normal life forms; they are merely mechanical puppets with power," commented a God-King leader.

For the Eternal True Gods who came to challenge this level, the World Beast Warriors on the first level were not very strong, only possessing the strength of ordinary Eternal True Gods, and could be dealt with easily.

The main purpose is to familiarize them with the fighting style and personality traits of the Beast Warriors, so as to prevent misjudgments during battle.

Unlike normal living beings who hesitate, fear, or even flee in battle, these Beast Warriors fight to the last moment without any hesitation once they enter the fray.

Even the first-level Beast Warriors, in their desperate struggle, inflicted considerable damage on the spirits of some Eternal True Gods.

However, given the difference in their strength, this wouldn't happen if they were truly fighting with all their might.

This is the disadvantage of normal life. No matter how strong one's will is, it will always be affected by emotions and mindset. It is impossible to truly be like a machine.

"It's truly unimaginable that an Eternal True God could be directly conceived like an insect. Origin God, could you do that?" The Third Leader exclaimed in amazement as he perused the records of the Origin Clan regarding the Beasts of the Realm.

"No, this is something that a normal cultivator would find completely impossible."

The Origin God shook his head. That was true. Only a World Beast at its peak could become a catastrophe on the Origin Continent. Just by nurturing warriors, it was enough to make countless people tremble with fear, not to mention the strength of the World Beast itself.

"The thought that these guys are still around makes me a little worried."

One of the god-king leaders sighed, wondering what the meaning was of such life being born from the supreme rules.

“There is no need to worry. Times have changed. A mere one or two peak-level world beasts cannot cause any major trouble,” the Origin God said solemnly.

After some discussion, everyone turned their attention back to the Eternal Gods, who were beginning to demonstrate their power.
