Swallowed Star

A ferocious Sector Beast gazed at the skeleton life form in front of it. “Skeleton Master? Stop!”

All the thousands of Sector Beasts were able to communicate via their hearts, and they all stopped eating right away.

“According to our plan, we should at least take one slave. Zhen Jia and Dragon Rock don’t know any new information at all.”

“Just take this Skeleton Master.”

“Take him.”

All 900,000 Sector Beasts transmitted their voices and reached a consensus.

“If you’re willing to side with us,” said the black, ugly Sector Beast, “I’ll give you a chance.”

Skeleton Master looked a bit bitter, but he still showed gratefulness. “Yes,” he answered respectfully.

All of a sudden, a bloody engraving picture started to show up in both the singular eyes of the Sector Beast. The two bloody engraving pictures were spinning. Skeleton Master watched the two engraving pictures in the Sector Beast’s eyes, and his soul was mesmerized by them.

“No!”

“Ah!”

“Father!”

The space within one miniature universe started to crumble. The origin of that miniature universe was almost gone, so naturally, all the spaces within the miniature universe started to fall apart and be annihilated. Soon, the origin completely disappeared, and all the spaces were broken like shattered glass. All the life forms in the miniature universe perished.

“Sector Beast, Sector Beast, Sector Beast!” A man with three pairs of black wings hiding in the space in the distance raged. His miniature universe had just been destroyed, and so had his race.

******

“You’re so useless, Milky Way Horde Leader!” Golden Armor True God from the second universe era roared. “We put our trust in you. Our race will be gone first, and you humans will go extinct, too!”

He didn’t run away. Instead, he chose to stay in his miniature universe to share in the fate of his people.

His race was gone, and his miniature universe was gone. There was no chance that he could transcend incarnations. After the next universe era, he would still die. It was better for him to die now than to die alone in the future.

******

“I am Divine Eye True Master, one of the eight great overlords, and I used to be the strongest great being in Universe Ocean. I possess a great amount of information, and I’m willing to side with you.”

Divine Eye True Master made a request in the space to Sector Beasts.

Side with us? thought the ferocious Sector Beast.

The other thousands of Sector Beasts swallowing this miniature universe all stopped.

“Okay.” The Sector Beast nodded. “I’ll give you this chance.”

Divine Eye True Master was relieved. Traces of black light burst out from the Sector Beast’s body and penetrated the body of Divine Eye True Master. The armor and other valuables on the body of Divine Eye True Master didn’t stop it whatsoever, and he didn’t even try to resist it.

“Swallow.” The Sector Beast immediately started to absorb him.

Even if a true god had been resisting, it would have only taken a Sector Beast a short time to swallow him, let alone Divine Eye True Master, who wasn’t resisting it at all. After only a short while, half of the godly body of Divine Eye True Master was gone.

“This is…!” Divine Eye True Master was shocked.

“Don’t fight it,” said the Sector Beast furiously. “I have to consume almost all your godly power before I can convert it into the power of Sector Beasts. Only after that will you be our slave.”

Divine Eye True Master was hesitant, but he took the risk.

Soon, all his godly power was devoured. Just before he died, Divine Eye True Master finally understood what had happened. He smiled bitterly and whispered, “Catastrophe!”

Then he was completely annihilated, and only some valuables were left floating.

“Idiot.” The Sector Beast smirked. “Eight great overlords? We have Skeleton Master to be our slave already. There’s no need for any other slaves.”

Then it opened its mouth and swallowed all the valuables left by Divine Eye True Master after he died.

Sector Beasts weren’t able to use any of the weapons used by true gods! Their power was exactly the opposite to that of true gods, so they couldn’t use them. However, they could still use them in the form of a disguise, such as holding an axe. They could use them as inanimate objects, but they couldn’t enlarge them or drive the engravings on them.

******

Everyone in Universe Ocean was in a daze.

Inside East Emperor Holy Land, East Emperor Ancestor stood in the ancestral tree and looked at the people under him. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

“What should we do now, ancestor?”

“Let’s go outside.”

“Let’s go and kill those Sector Beasts.”

East Emperor Ancestor shook his head. “No need to struggle. Let’s wait for our final destiny.”

All the people under him were in despair, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

“Ah…” East Emperor Ancestor shook his head. The best he could do was to use his willpower to guard the origin to help resist the swallowing power of the Sector Beasts. His willpower was already at the pinnacle eternal true god level! Once he used it to guard the origin, it would indeed slow down those Sector Beasts to a large extent. And besides, the origin of his miniature universe was more powerful than that of Purple Moon Ancestor.

“Huh?” East Emperor Ancestor was shocked. “They stopped?”

He could clearly tell that those Sector Beasts outside had stopped swallowing the origin.

******

“I’ve got a great opportunity,” said Purple Moon Ancestor, “and I haven’t been truly powerful yet! Is this the end for me? No! I can’t!”

Purple Moon Ancestor stood in the origin of his Purple Moon Holy Land and looked around. He yelled in agony.

Suddenly, he looked stunned and joyful. “They stopped?”

******

The Sector Beasts were marching forward, all the while passing along messages.

“It’s too difficult to swallow the origins of the two holy lands. East Emperor Holy Land has the strongest resistance. Purple Moon Holy Land has a weaker resistance, but it’s still much stronger than the miniature universes of those true gods. If we keep swallowing, it’ll take a long time for us to finish them. The two holy lands didn’t have any effect on us, so let’s let them go first. Time is very important, and we need to seize the moment. Luo Feng is our greatest enemy now.”

“Let’s keep going.”

“Destroy the first and the second universe era first.”

The Sector Beasts stuck together, working as a team. One miniature universe after another, all the races from the first and the second universe era were annihilated. There were many calls for help, and many swearing messages were sent to the original universe, yet the races in the original universe, including Luo Feng, didn’t say anything about it.

******

Calls for help, grudges, and curses—all kinds of messages were sent.

Everyone in the original universe was terrified. One race after another was being annihilated.

“Ancestral God School.”

Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader showed up in the ancestral god secret region. They two were the leaders of the original universe. After the Sector Beasts destroyed the first and the second universe eras and started to advance toward the original universe, they came to the Ancestral God School.

Sou! Sou!

They both headed toward the ancestral god palace. The three ancestral gods sensed that they had arrived, so they let go of the seal so that they could teleport.

“Ancestral gods,” Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader said, stepping into the ancestral god palace.

The young ancestral god, the old ancestral god, and the double-faced ancestral god were all sitting on their thrones.

The old ancestral god said, “Milky Way Horde Leader and Primal Chaos City Leader, this is the most crucial moment. The Sector Beasts might arrive in one or two days. This is a very vital time, so why are you two here? I’ll ask some great beings from the Ancestral God School to go to Milky Way Holy Land later.”

“The Sector Beasts are coming,” replied Primal Chaos City Leader, “and there are too many of them. They’ll consume the universe origins quickly. Milky Way Horde Leader and I came here because we hope that the original mind can let Teacher Origin go! If Teacher Origin doesn’t have his willpower to guard his miniature universe, his miniature universe will be swallowed instantly.

Normally, for miniature universes of true gods, it would take thousands of Sector Beasts a few minutes to devour the origin. However, the primal universe didn’t have the willpower of true gods to protect it, so it would be instantly annihilated.

“Please, original mind, let go of Teacher Origin,” said Luo Feng.

“Let Teacher Origin go?” The three ancestral gods looked at each other. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Normally, they would’ve rejected the request of Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader. After all, Teacher Origin had provoked the original mind, and that was why he had been suppressed. The original mind wouldn’t just let him go so easily. Yet this was a special moment—a moment that would determine the fate of all the races in the original universe.

“Let us contact the original mind first,” said the old ancestral god.

“Good.”

“Let’s wait.”

Primal Chaos City Leader and Luo Feng answered, but they were clearly under pressure! If Teacher Origin couldn’t be released, the primal universe was destined to be annihilated.

Hong!

An invisible force showed up as the original mind had arrived. All three ancestral gods had closed their eyes and started to listen to what the original mind wanted to say. After a long time, they all opened their eyes and looked at Luo Feng and Primal Chaos City Leader apologetically.

That look dazed Luo Feng. The answer appeared to be “No!”

“Is the original mind willing to release Teacher Origin?” asked Primal Chaos City Leader, looking pale.

Luo Feng also stared at the three ancestral gods.

The three ancestral gods looked at each other, and then the young ancestral god said, “The original mind has told us everything. There’s no way Teacher Origin will be released. However, the original mind will stop suppressing his willpower. He can then condense a godly powered avatar in the primal universe so that he can guard his miniature universe with his willpower.”

“Why would it do that?” Luo Feng frowned. “If it’s not suppressing his willpower anymore, why doesn’t it just let him go?”

Teacher Origin was suppressed, including his willpower. He couldn’t even condense a godly power avatar outside. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Primal Chaos City Leader be in charge of the primal universe. Teacher Origin used his technique “virtual universe,” which spread everywhere. That was how he sensed everything. However, his original body and his willpower were both still suppressed.

“Milky Way,” the old ancestral god said with a sigh. “Teacher Origin was very powerful before, and now that he’s obtained the inheritance of the ancient civilization, he’s even more powerful! If he gets out, he’ll be at your level with the help of a machine-type valuable. With his power and yours, the original universe will stand a much better chance. The original mind would’ve let him go if it could do that. To tell you the truth, Teacher Origin broke the supreme laws before, and he was restrained by the supreme laws, and that was why the original mind suppressed him and didn’t have a right to release him. If you can solve the problem of the Sector Beasts, you will have made a great contribution, and only after that can Teacher Origin be let go.”
