Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 42 The Master's Mission

Inside the spaceship, Suk sat with his arms crossed, deep in thought, oblivious to the maid's movements. He pondered, "The Lord of Gulei City once said that Emperor Gulei gained a great deal from the Stone Gate before entering, and that what he obtained after entering was different from what other emperors entered later... This means that whether or not one comprehends the secrets of the Stone Gate before entering is crucial."

He looked at the screen again, his gaze becoming profound. "But Emperor Gulei was the first to discover the stone gate, and back then no one competed with him. Now, however, a group of people are vying to enter and fight for the chance to become an emperor."

"Although the stone gate will exist for a year, once someone becomes an Emperor and emerges, will others be allowed to continue their cultivation here? Even if someone does achieve something, will they still have the opportunity to enter?"

If Suk put himself in the emperor's shoes, would he allow someone who might surpass him to enter and gain a greater opportunity?

Unless the relationship is really good, it's impossible.

"This is simply..." Suk felt a chill run down his spine.

On the other hand, he was also very envious of the secrets on the stone gate.

At this moment, Liu Mila and the others had already flown to the stone gate as he ordered, and then used their auxiliary optical computers to secretly take pictures.

but……

It was as if an invisible force was blocking the electronic devices, resulting in only blurry and unclear images being captured.

Meanwhile, new information came from Liu Mila and others at the scene.

"Master, when I looked at this stone gate, I felt a voice in my mind, as if guiding me on how to cultivate these things..."

Not just Liu Mila, but everyone present was.

On the contrary, Suk felt nothing, even though he was on screen.

As the maids gently massaged Suk's body with their delicate hands, he felt no joy whatsoever.

"Does it have to be seen in person at the Stone Gate for it to be effective?" Suk looked up at the screen, his eyes flickering slightly.

Tens of thousands of light-years of land were destroyed in a single day... This mysterious planet, never before discovered by humankind... A planet inhabited by many intelligent humanoid races... and generations of so-called emperors...

Suk closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again.

"Liumila, I command you..."

Deep beneath the vast abyss, clouds surged and lightning snakes roamed, terrifying power lurking in the shadows. Above, at the towering stone gate, layers of people surrounded the area, saints from various factions absorbed in their understanding of the stone gate.

The old man in the golden robe was also watching. He was even excited, feeling a sense of honor in witnessing history as he followed the path of his ancestors. The most talented members of the Gu Lei family had also come for this opportunity of the opening of the stone gate.

The Gu Lei family has always kept a low profile, even announcing that they will never enter the Stone Gate to compete with the outside world for the opportunity to become an emperor. This is partly to preserve the family, and partly because of the opportunity in the Stone Gate.

If a genius member of the clan could truly glimpse the profound meaning on the stone gate like the ancestor of the Gu Lei clan, then the so-called oath could naturally be broken.

The old man in the golden robe stared at the mysterious symbols and patterns on the stone gate, as if indescribable whispers echoed in his mind, and the images in his eyes distorted and warped... It was as if the infinite truths of the universe were unfolding before him, leaving him utterly shocked. "This is incredible. Is this what Emperor Gulei once experienced?" the old man in the golden robe murmured.

"Lord of Gulei City." Suddenly a voice came from the side, startling the golden-robed old man who was immersed in a special state of mind.

Just like being interrupted midway through doing something exciting, the old man in the golden robe felt a little displeased. He turned his head to look at the petite woman who was flying closer. He recognized her; she was a peak Saint from a random power.

The old man in the golden robe suppressed his dissatisfaction and said expressionlessly, "So it's Saint Liu. What brings you here?"

Liu Mila smiled and said, "It's like this, I'd like to send someone here. I wonder if Lord Gulei could make an exception?"

"One more person?" The old man in the golden robe frowned and shook his head. "Didn't we agree at the meeting that each force can only send a fixed number of people? Saint Liu, you're breaking the rules. This won't do." With so many forces watching, the old man in the golden robe was actually in a difficult position.

"He is merely extraordinary; he will not enter the stone gate," Liu Mila said. "He is only meditating in front of the stone gate. Please, Lord Gulei, give him a chance."

"Transcendent?" The golden-robed elder was taken aback, pondering. If it was merely a transcendent being who didn't enter the stone gate, then the various factions shouldn't object. However, complications were always troublesome. The golden-robed elder said tactfully, "This isn't something I can decide alone. Saint Liu, you can ask the others. If they have no objections, then I have no problem with it either."

"Then thank you very much, Lord Gulei," Liu Mila said with a smile, before flying off to communicate with other forces.

The idler group gained influence the fastest, and everyone gave her, a strong member of their own faction, face, without needing to waste words.

"Let an extraordinary being enter and comprehend the Stone Gate?"

Other factions didn't have it so easy; they needed Liu Mila to communicate with them.

However, considering that he is a peak saint from a leisurely force and that it does not affect him personally, most forces will still give him face.

Some even had the same thoughts as Liu Mila.

Yes, although we can't let those people enter the stone gate, they can certainly try to understand it from outside. What if they actually figure something out?

"I disagree!" A woman clad in fish-scale armor, with scales covering her cheeks and eerily narrow eyes, declared bluntly. "You mean add one more person? What a joke! Were all those meetings for nothing? You, a mere saint, think you can represent everyone?"

No matter what Liu Mila said, she kept a cold face.

Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Liu Mila's expression immediately turned cold. "You really won't agree?" This was a task assigned by her master, and she had to complete it.

Seeing the murderous intent flash in the petite woman's eyes, a strong sense of crisis rose within the sea-human representative. She took a step back, looking at her warily. "You want to fight? This is Holy Mountain City. Private duels are forbidden. Do you want to make enemies of everyone?"

People around looked over, but no one spoke up to intervene; instead, they all watched with amusement.

Only the powerful members of the Sea People slowly approached, their eyes fixed on Liu Mila with hostility.

Seeing that her side had the upper hand, the sea woman felt emboldened and looked at Liu Mila provocatively.

Knowing this wasn't the time to lash out, Liu Mira took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and coldly looked at the sea people. "You can only pray that one of your sea people goes in as an emperor this time, otherwise, hehe..."

The group of powerful sea people felt a chill run down their spines as her gaze swept over them.

The sea-dwelling woman was already somewhat regretful, but since things had come to this point, she couldn't afford to lose face with the sea people's power. She feigned toughness but was actually quite weak, saying, "Are you saying we're afraid of you?"

Liumira ignored the sea people and went to talk to other forces, quickly reaching an agreement.

All forces can send more people in, but these people cannot enter the stone gate. Almost everyone agreed, and those who disagreed did not object. Under the general trend, the sea people who initially opposed it could only go with the flow and agree in the end. In the end, the sea people's faces were not very good.
