Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"almost."

Xingmang said calmly. As a lord who attained enlightenment through time and space, his interference with time and space even allowed him to see some aspects of the future that involved lords.

“The next war will only be more difficult,” Naigu said, shaking his head, but he didn’t seem to intend to have Xingmang assassinate him.

The two camps have fought for so long that they've learned pretty much all the tricks of the trade.

The Primordial Ancestors also protected those world-class Chaos Sources who were on the verge of breakthrough very well, so that even Starlight could not assassinate them.

“The primordial beings have always had progenitors, but it’s been so long on our side and there’s still no new lord appearing, wasting a lot of resources,” Moman in black said with dissatisfaction.

"Lord, you can't be made by throwing resources at you. You need to be tempered, and tempered severely."

“I agree. It would be a waste if they couldn’t become lords,” said Lord Jin.

"Haha, we should finish what we start. We've done so much just to increase the chances of some people becoming lords."

Just as everyone was talking, the last lord, Yuan, arrived.

At this point, all seven lords of the cultivator camp had arrived.

The combined power of these seven immortal beings completely shattered the balance of the entire endless primordial space.

"Since we've already started, let's see it through to the end." Yuan looked at everyone and smiled. "These are just experiments. Are you all absolutely certain you can cultivate a lord?"

"I just feel that giving too many resources will only produce a bunch of useless people. We didn't have that many resources back then, but we still became lords, didn't we?" Lord Jin shook his head.

However, he didn't continue to refute Yuan's words, and just took it as another attempt.

The methods for cultivating lords have always been subject to constant experimentation, but now, with the pressure of war, they are also eagerly craving change.

Otherwise, given their immortality, there would be no need to rush, but now it is indeed a bit urgent.

"By the way, Yuan, didn't you and Xingmang connect with a world-class Chaos Origin? How is it going?" Wu Lan asked curiously.

What kind of world-class Chaos Source would require two top lords to personally receive it?

“Hehe, then I’ll have to explain properly.” Yuan smiled and said, “On this trip, Xingmang and I even ran into that old guy, the Infinite Serpent Ancestor.”

"The Infinite Serpent clan mobilized ten Primordial Ancestors, but none of them managed to defeat him."

"Ten Primordial Ancestors of Hunyuan?"

The other five lords widened their eyes instantly. Could it be that an eighth lord had appeared, but they hadn't sensed it?

"The Primal Lord always likes to joke; it was thanks to the Source World that we were able to arrive," Starlight quickly explained.

"So it was the Lord of the Origin World!" the five lords said with regret.

If it's done through the source world, then it's indeed possible.

“He was a promising junior of mine, but he accidentally gained control of the Origin World outside our territory, which attracted the attention of the Infinite Serpent Clan. That’s why I brought Starlight along to meet him,” Yuan explained.

"You didn't rely on bloodlines, did you?" Wu Lan asked.

"No!" Yuan shook his head.

“Interesting. We haven’t received any news. They probably haven’t even been to the Land of Beginnings.” As Minghuang spoke, his clone in the Land of Beginnings instantly detected the latest world-class Chaos Origin.

“Yuan, you look a lot like me, Yuan.”

"Take the Land of Beginnings for example, he's never even been to our Holy Realm." Lord Jin chuckled, further confirming his earlier thought, but since the matter was now closed, he had no intention of stirring up trouble again.

The lords also left clones in the original land, and thus also learned of the latest information on the world-class Chaos Origin.

"His talent is indeed remarkable, and his cultivation time is probably not long." Lord Naigu nodded. "Starlight, in the foreseeable future, what are the chances that he will become a lord?"

The future is uncertain, but even the possibilities are extraordinary.

Star Lords observe the future; even if there's only a one in a billion chance of becoming a lord, at least there's that possibility.

If even the stars don't show any possibility of becoming a lord, then all we can do is wait for an infinite amount of time to create a miracle.

Therefore, for world-class Chaos Origin cultivators or those with talent, the lords would occasionally send Starburst to open blind boxes, and sometimes even make some artificial interventions based on the future.

For example, some people who have been stuck in a certain realm for a long time want to refine the Hunyuan bloodline to break free from the cage. However, Xingmang discovered in his observation of the future that there is still a possibility that the other party can succeed without refining the bloodline, so he can let the former try more.

However, the future is uncertain, and Starlight rarely intervenes; it merely records some possibilities as a basis for judgment.

Just like the original land now, Starburst has also seen some world-class individuals who could become lords, and these people will receive special attention.

"For you two to take this so seriously, the chances of you becoming lords must be pretty high," the other lords asked curiously.

"When I first saw him, I tried to observe his future."

Xingmang's eyes became somewhat vacant, and his tone was filled with amazement.

"But all I could see was darkness."

……

Chapter 926 World-Class Perfection

"Is the future bleak?"

Upon hearing Xingmang's description, many lords immediately showed interest.

The past is set, and the future holds infinite possibilities. But if the future is also set, then there is only one possibility left, and it is a possibility that is bound to happen.

“This source will surely become a lord.” Minghuang’s tone revealed a surge of excitement.

Sometimes, what we don't see actually proves something.

The future is shrouded in darkness; either death is inevitable, or it will be concealed by some supernatural rule or special ability.

As a world-class primordial entity, still in the original land, even if all primordial life forms were born, they could not destroy the cultivators in the original land.

Even if death is inevitable in the future, at least we can observe a part of the process instead of complete darkness.

Even those who are masters of the way of time and space can only see darkness; at the very least, they are lords.

“His future is already locked in by himself, and I cannot observe it,” Xingmang nodded.

"It seems this future lord might be even stronger than you, Starburst," Naigu said with a smile, his tone filled with anticipation.

Even without a formal breakthrough, the ability to lock in one's future and prevent the stars from observing it is truly extraordinary.

It should be noted that Xingmang is not only the one with the highest mastery of spacetime in the Infinite Chaos Space, but also ranks second to none in strength, surpassing even the lords.

In the future, someone may emerge who surpasses the Star Lord, making them undoubtedly the world's number one.

If another lord stronger than Xingmang could emerge from the cultivator camp, then even if the entire Chaotic Origin Life Camp united, they would have nothing to fear.

The influence that a top-tier, even invincible, cultivator can exert is terrifying.

“It might not be strength, perhaps it’s a special ability?” Yuan Zizai said.

It originated from the world group he ruled, and had also visited the Realm Heart Continent he created. He had given him some pointers several times, and this time he even saved the other party's source world. In short, this is equivalent to him nurturing a Chaotic Origin Lord.

Such an achievement made Yuan extremely proud.

"How extraordinary must someone be to be able to lock in their future at this stage?" Wu Lan thought for a moment, still finding it hard to imagine how a mere world-class individual, even with great future potential, could shield themselves from the future now.

"Such power is enough to reverse cause and effect."

Keep in mind, this is a Time Lord, observing the future from a third-party perspective.

"I am not sure as well!"

Xingmang shook his head. Even with all his strength, he could only see some faint, phantom-like figures in the darkness, like those from the Origin World.

He won't be able to see any more.

This was the first time Xingmang had encountered such a phenomenon. Even though he was destined to become a lord in the future, the timeline he observed still showed a phenomenon of future unification.

In other words, in all the futures, he will become a lord, instead of a world in darkness.

"Could it surpass the lords?" Starlight thought of another possibility, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

If someone can pave a way forward, it would naturally be a good thing for Starry Sky, currently ranked second in the world.

Having reached the level of a cultivator lord, their willpower is naturally at its peak. They are not afraid of difficulties; what they fear most is not even having the right to face difficulties.

"What path does that Yuan cultivate?" Moman looked at Yuan.

Now that the future has been set, the lords regard it as an existence on the same level.

It's like the future being unified, and it can even attempt to sever the future. The power of a lord is enough to destroy countless futures.

But this future is already a fait accompli, and even the lords can't change it.

"The road he built!" Yuan frowned, unsure how to describe it.

"It should be the Dao of the Origin World!"

Yuan was somewhat uncertain because it was clear that the path Yuan cultivated was not the normal Great Dao.

"The Way of the Origin World?"

The lords looked bewildered, clearly having no concept of this. What kind of Great Dao was this?

"The Source World of Proving the Dao? No wonder it possesses such power."

However, since many of the lords were at a very high level, they guessed that they were probably aiming for the Origin World.

As a lord, he naturally understood just how powerful the essence of the source world truly was.

Unlike the Primordial Ancestors who cared about power and origin, the Lords were clearly more concerned with the Dao.

Even the most advanced being in the Dao could not create a world comparable to the Origin World.

"The source of the source world... it seems our new lord is quite adept at creating worlds. Perhaps one day our billions of worlds will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the source world," Moman said with a smile.

When they realized that a lord would inevitably be born in the future, the tense atmosphere among the crowd eased considerably.

Adding another lord would significantly boost the strength of the cultivator faction.

After all, the lords are immortal beings, and with their cooperation, even if they are not as powerful as Starburst, they can at least increase their strength by 20% to 30%.

If it's comparable to starlight, then it's even more terrifying.

Most importantly, becoming a lord means that even if the cultivators are defeated this time, their future will not be affected.

If you fail once, just gather your strength and come back stronger.
