Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Chapter 437: Chapter 18: The Road Ahead

The Land of Eternity, twenty-nine beings rarely gathered.

“Luo Feng, when will your celebration as a lord take place?” Kafu asked with a smile, “I haven’t been to your Cultivator Territory for a long time, so I could also take the opportunity to explore it well.”

The other undying beings also looked at Luo Feng.

For Luo Feng’s celebration, they would almost all send avatars to attend.

“The Mysterious Land I control, the ’Blood Crane Territory’, is currently migrating back to the Cultivator Territory,” Luo Feng said with a smile, “once the Blood Crane Territory reaches my hometown, that will be the time for the celebration.”

Those who rely on controlling a Mysterious Land to remain undying usually hold their celebrations in the Mysterious Land, so no one was surprised by Luo Feng’s decision.

“Sister Sha Zhou, do you have time to venture into the Tong Valley together?” the peculiar cube ’Demon Ruins’ asked.

“Alright.” The grey-robed woman Sha Zhou nodded, “I can go whenever.”

“Let’s set off after this gathering.” Demon Ruins looked around, “Anyone who wants to join us can come along.”

“Together,” the Infinite Snake Ancestor also chimed in.

In total, six undying beings were willing to journey together to the Tong Valley.

Luo Feng listened from the side; he had also learned much about the Mysterious Lands from the information cache of the Land of Origin.

Tong Valley is a mysterious valley nurtured by the Endless Primordial Space, where terrifying attacks descend without pattern. Only a handful have crossed the entire Tong Valley.

The greatest benefit of the Tong Valley is experiencing ’attacks’ that surpass all life forms! It has a certain impact on exploring one’s own path forward.

Sha Zhou has visited the Tong Valley the most, and some of her killing techniques were developed based on the ’attacks’ of the Tong Valley.

“The twenty-nine beings of the Land of Eternity, and the four major factions.” Luo Feng observed their conversation and noticed some interesting points.

The Innate Primordial Camp, Cultivator Camp, Ice Peak Camp, and the Independent Faction. The first three major factions hardly pay attention to each other.

Instead, the ’proposals’ from the Independent Faction are more likely to be accepted by all parties.

“We eight lords of the Cultivators are indeed different.” Luo Feng listened to the conversation, “These Ancestors meet for adventures, meet to explore treasures. But the Cultivator Lords rarely get involved.”

The Cultivator Lords mainly rely on Enlightenment! Occasionally exploring mysterious lands that resonate with them, as for other resources? Protecting the resources of the ’Three Thousand Six Hundred World Groups’ is enough, they have no ambition for resources in a broader territory.

…

After traveling for a full Ten Eras, the Mysterious Land ’Blood Crane Territory’ finally arrived at the Dark World Group.

Now the Dark World Group has been renamed the ’Galaxy World Group’, and the Dark Sacred Realm has been renamed the ’Galaxy Sacred Realm’! This is something every lord does, each will rename their Absolute Territory to a name they like.

Blood Crane Territory, vast and boundless, is home to over 7.5 billion High Level Primordial Life Forms ’Blood Crane Territory Clan’. Only a small portion remains under Luo Feng’s command, while others have been sent to work hard in other lords’ territories.

This is the case for all eight Cultivator Lords. Even if they personally enslave ’High Level Primordial’ and ’World-level Primordial’, they will still share with the entire camp.

“The celebration is finally over.” Luo Feng sent off many guests.

Even the Innate Primordial Camp sent avatars, with six Emperors including the Infinite Snake Ancestor, and there were as many as thirty-one avatars from the ordinary Ancestor! The Ice Peak Camp also sent as many as twenty-one avatars, along with avatars from many weaker forces.

More than a hundred Ancestor avatars came to witness.

The ’number of Ancestor avatars’ from the spectators can also reflect the influence of the celebration host in the Endless Primordial Space. Like the ’Three Emperors of the Thunder Sea’, their celebrations attract far fewer spectators.

“We’ve left.”

“Brother Luo Feng, no need to see us off.”

After all the other guests departed, the other seven Cultivator Lords left one by one, with only Lord Mo Man remaining at the end.

“Luo Feng.” Mo Man approached Luo Feng and said, “You promised to help me before.”

“Right now?” Luo Feng asked, “I can set off anytime.”

Mo Man smiled upon hearing this, pleased with Luo Feng’s straightforwardness, “It’s not time yet, there’s a very special Mysterious Land, a ’Fluctuation Land’, which I can only discover once every hundred thousand eras. It will appear again in about five thousand eras. Once it appears, we must set out immediately.”

“Okay, no problem,” Luo Feng responded.

“Thanks!” Mo Man took a step, and his entire figure transformed into a wave and disappeared.

Luo Feng stood amidst the Endless Blood Sea, the blood-colored robe on his body fluttering in the air.

“Finally, I have time to retreat completely and contemplate the ’Primordial Blade Path’.” Luo Feng thought as he gazed into the distance. Not far away in space-time is the Origin Continent Source World.

Blood Crane Territory is very close to the Origin Continent Source World.

If, in the future, unthinkable crises arise, Luo Feng will move the ’Blood Crane Territory’ again. It would take only a few moments for the Blood Crane Territory to reach close to the Origin Continent. The Endless Blood Sea can fully protect the ’Origin Continent Source World’.

According to known circumstances, nothing should be able to threaten the source world where I personally reside.

But the ’source world of my hometown’ is related to the life and safety of my relatives and friends. With the Origin Continent Source World in place, I can easily resurrect Creatures. But if the Source World is gone, there’s no way to resurrect! Luo Feng must ensure that the hometown Source World is safe and sound.

******

In the Endless Primordial Space, conflict never stops!

The ’Ice Peak Camp’, which was just at a loss in the Cultivator Camp, had some Ancestors bully weaker forces around them, forcibly taking more resources. These weaker forces refuse to join the major camps; they do have some confidence, and naturally, the fights are fierce!

The Innate Primordial Camp and the Cultivator Camp remain relatively quiet, having fought too fiercely before; one side lost eleven Ancestors, the other saw many territories fall, and numerous Source Worlds were destroyed. Both sides are now resting and recuperating.

“This time, the war was truly worth it!”

A colossal sphere of light, containing endless light within, this is the true body of the Infinite Ancestor.

As one of the top three powers of the Innate Primordial Camp, the Infinite Ancestor has never reached the stage of ’Undying and Undying’! Therefore, it stands firmly with the Main Battle Faction! It needs enough trials, needs ample resources, to help itself advance further.

“Through the long ages, countless obstacles, until today, I have finally grasped the hope of ’Undying and Undying’, truly seeing the path ahead clearly.” At this moment, the Infinite Ancestor is very joyful.

“I must thank this war, must thank Lord Luo Feng.”

It was due to Luo Feng’s ’Origin Great Destruction’, the terrifying might of that swept over a vast area, as the Infinite Ancestor focused on rescuing companions, its ’Endless Light’ endured the impact under Luo Feng’s Origin Great Destruction.

That terrifying energy storm! That incredibly dazzling light! Sweeping across dozens of Ancestors, gravely injuring as many as twenty-six Ancestors!

“That is the true Endless Light!”

“Endless Light, should have infinite might!”

The Infinite Ancestor understands, that is its path forward.

It only needs to go further, then it can transform into that incredibly dazzling light!

“To have infinite might, I need to be even purer! Even the Life Core must completely integrate into the light! At that time, the Life Core will be everywhere, can appear in any ray of light in the Endless Primordial Space, then I will be truly Undying and Undying!” The Infinite Ancestor glimpsed its path, then immediately began absorbing the resources accumulated over the long ages.

With resources supplied, actively guiding the growth of the Life Core, the Life Core also starts to transform very slowly.

This process is also full of hardships and obstacles, the clearer the understanding of the path ahead, the smoother the Life Core transformation can be.

…

“Where is my path?”

Silent Extinction Ancestor, one of the Nine Emperors of the Innate Primordial Camp, is also one of the top three powers within the camp.

It also searches bitterly for the path to Undying and Undying, yet finds no hope.

“I explore all possibilities; only one path has a glimmer of hope—to achieve Undying and Undying, one must first return to silent extinction, seeking immortality in extinction.”

“But this path, the likelihood of complete death is probably over ninety-nine percent.”

Silent Extinction Ancestor sighed.

This path, it is unwilling to take! Because the possibility of success is too slim.

In terms of strength, it already rivals the Cultivator Lords, even if the Cultivator Lords joined forces, they can’t kill it. There’s only a theoretical possibility of it being ’killed.’ Such an existence, how could it gamble on a path with a ’death rate over ninety-nine percent’?

…

“Marvelous, marvelous, marvelous!!!”

In the Cultivator Camp, in the Land of Origin, Yuan is currently reading the legacy written by Luo Feng.

“Brother Luo Feng’s research on ’Origin’ can be described as the best in the entire Infinite Primordial Space.” Yuan is very delighted, the eight Lords all have achieved Enlightenment, their depth of research is generally much greater than that of the Ancestors.

Luo Feng’s Primordial Life and Death Dao focuses on life, with the Origin System being the core of his path.

“My path just needs the Origin System!” Yuan carefully studies the legacy, absorbing the parts beneficial to himself.

The ’Primordial Rule Operation Path’ he practices, as the number of ’Divine King Ultimate Realm Paths’ he discerns increases, the power of this Rule Operation Path also enhances! But Yuan failed in his attempt to create a Source World.

It is because…

The Source World requires, besides rule operation, the integration of many Daos into ’Origin.’

“Luo Feng, it’s the Life and Death Origin.”

“And I need to combine many Great Daos into ’Origin,’ a source world requires at least nine Great Daos. Nine Great Daos combined into Origin. Much more complex than Luo Feng’s Life and Death Origin.” Yuan is also quite troubled.

The Primordial Life and Death Dao, is a fused single Dao, due to its many characteristics in the direction of life, can easily transform into Origin, constructing ’one billion and eighty million Origins’ with ease.

“At least nine Great Daos, to be combined into Origin.”

“If I pursue more Great Daos, the Origin integration system becomes even more complex.”

Despite feeling that the road is difficult, Yuan is still very joyful! Because Luo Feng’s very detailed ’Origin System’ has pointed him in the direction!

But once successful—

The Primordial Rule Operation Path, with an added Origin System, that will be a true qualitative change.

Inside as Origin, outside as rule operation.

Internal and external as one, can then create the Source World.

“At least the path ahead is clear.” Yuan continued to practice in seclusion.

…

The eight Lords of the Cultivator Camp, each had their own affairs.

Starlight diligently repaired various parts of the space-time net! Jin once again ventured alone to explore the ’Abyss of Destruction’! Mo Man continued to roam transformed into ripples in the Endless Primordial Space! Wulan leisurely nurtured the bloodline descendants, while Luo Feng was comprehending the Primordial Blade Path within the Blood Crane Territory…

Unconsciously, three thousand eras have passed.
