Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 412

Meanwhile, Lu Yunhe's main body, Zetton's clone, and Ultraman's clone were observing the breakthroughs of these three clones.

The breakthroughs that followed in the microcosm, while not as dramatic as the chaotic evolution at its inception, were at least clearer and more insightful than the cosmic laws revealed in our usual observations.

"break!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Within the three miniature universes, void passages were born one after another. Each void passage appeared in the void outside the "Origin Continent, Three Thousand Dimensions" without harming any plane of space.

Endless chaotic energy flowed from those void passages, and the membrane walls of the miniature universes began to grow, spread, and expand rapidly.

Two hundred million light-years, five hundred million light-years... one billion light-years...

The volume of the miniature universe continued to expand rapidly, and its diameter soon exceeded the lower limit of one billion light-years for the Void God.

As the volume of a miniature universe increases, the space occupied by the "three thousand dimensions" becomes relatively smaller, and the amount of void increases.

The more void there is, the more void passages the three avatars can open.

With the realm of an Eternal True God and the will of a Chaos Overlord, even amidst the incredible evolution of the universe, Lu Yunhe can still play a crucial role through his own strength.

Endless chaotic energy surged in, accelerating the evolution of the miniature universe. This kind of unbridled evolutionary supply only occurs during breakthroughs in major realms.

Moreover, it only supplies the growth of the small universe itself. As for the divine power needed for the breakthrough of the divine body of the clone, it can only be slowly absorbed, transformed and accumulated.

1.5 billion light-years... 2 billion light-years... 2.1 billion light-years...

The Purple Moon Holy Land universe was the first to be surpassed, followed by the Eastern Emperor Holy Land universe with a diameter of 3.2 billion light-years, and the expansion of small universes shows no signs of stopping.

"too big."

"A small universe of one of the Eternal Lord's avatars is over four billion light-years wide, much larger than the Eastern Emperor's Holy Land."

The true gods and cosmic lords watching from the void of the cosmic sea were all stunned. Each of the three small universes was expanding to a diameter of more than four billion light-years, and there was no sign of it stopping.

"The Lord of Eternity is too powerful!"

One of the Hongmeng's universe lords murmured, his heart filled with excitement. Originally, they only dared to dream of keeping a group of core members to enter the human race's holy land universe, which was also the promise made by the human race.

But now, perhaps the main lineage of their race can thrive within it.

The Mountain Dweller watched this scene from afar, and upon seeing the message from the Lord of Eternity, chuckled softly, "It's still a long way off."

……

Rumble…

The miniature universe was frantically absorbing and releasing energy, with chaotic currents expanding its size.

The first to reach its limit was the miniature universe of the Divine Tree's avatar. With the seventh-order realm and the first layer of the Divine Power Flow breakthrough, it broke through to the Void True God realm, and the diameter of the miniature universe directly reached 8.2 billion light-years.

With its profound foundation and exquisite cosmic structure, the resulting miniature universe will naturally be quite large.

Next to reach its limit was the miniature universe of the golden dragon's clone, with a diameter of an astonishing 9.6 billion light-years.

Although the Golden Dragon clone was only at the second level of Divine Power Flow when it broke through, its Law Realm had reached the higher tenth level of Void True God.

With a higher realm, even if the divine body's foundation is slightly weaker, the origin of the microcosm will not be weak.

Finally, the limit was reached in the small universe of Sphia's clone, a limit of 9.9 billion light-years in diameter.

The diameter of the miniature universe reached the limit of 9.9 billion light-years, and it seemed to be still eager to break through to a higher limit, but in the end it was just a little short and finally stopped within this limit.

Although Sphia's clone body had also reached its limit at that time, with the third level of divine power flow and the law realm reaching the limit of the Void True God in a heaven-defying way.

However, to surpass the limit, even possessing a small universe with a diameter of 10 billion light-years in the Void True God realm is still a bit short.

A mere line separates them, yet they are an insurmountable chasm; even with extraordinary abilities, it's not guaranteed that one can cross it.

After the breakthrough of the microcosm was fixed, the divine body of the clone itself also instantly completed its transformation, and its divine power evolved a hundredfold.

Wow…

The three avatars rapidly devoured the divine power stored within the small universe's primordial space, accumulated over one hundred million epochs.

Although Lu Yunhe has already comprehended the 100,000-fold gene level, the divine bodies of the Golden Dragon clone and the Divine Tree clone are still within a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers.

At the stage of the Lord of the Universe, the divine body is highly malleable. Once one gains some understanding of genes, one can easily modify the divine body.

However, once one breaks through to the level of a true god and returns to the origin, life itself evolves, making it incredibly difficult to make any further significant changes—at least a thousand times more difficult than the level of a cosmic master.

Of course, for Lu Yunhe, this difficulty is only a matter of time; he can just take his time to work it out.

The divine power replenished quickly by the Divine Tree clone and the Golden Dragon clone. Among the three clones, only the Sphia clone had broken through to the third level of the Divine Power Flow, and its body had reached the limit of twelve light-years. The absorption and output of only one hundred million epochs was not enough to replenish it.

"It can't even fully replenish the divine body of a Void True God, let alone break through to the Eternal True God realm." Sphia's clone was also somewhat helpless; the replenishment of divine power was really too slow.

"continue!"

The void passage, which had just begun to dissipate after the expansion of the miniature universe, started to expand again in a frozen state, and the chaotic airflow it was consuming became even more terrifying.

One can reach the fifteenth level, and breaking through to the Eternal True God realm is only a thought away.

Endless chaotic energy surged in once more, and the microcosm broke through to another realm.

10 billion... 20 billion... 50 billion...

Three enormous miniature universes appeared in the chaos, each with a diameter of 82 billion, 96 billion, and 99 billion light-years respectively.

……

Chapter 431 Breaking Through Reincarnation

"Three miniature universes, each nearly a hundred billion light-years in diameter!"

The alien gods and cosmic lords who were watching were completely dumbfounded and could not describe their emotions.

"Can a universe with a diameter of nearly a hundred billion light-years still be called a 'small' universe?"

A true god murmured, "This terrifying size is probably considered a normal universe by most universe lords or even true gods."

"If we squeeze them in, the three miniature universes of the Eternal Lord might be able to hold all the life in the entire primordial universe," a universe lord said, his heart pounding.

The primordial universe was vast, but the density of life was extremely low. The highest density of life was found in the divine realm, followed by the cosmic secret realm, and finally the cosmic territory.

In the early stages of the Great Cataclysm, Earth had only two intelligent life-bearing planets within a radius of thousands of light-years. The utilization rate of this territory was pitifully low.

Of course, if the microcosm is filled with life and all energy is provided by the microcosm, it can barely sustain itself by relying solely on the microcosm's own intake and output of chaotic energy. It would be difficult to provide the microcosm's owner with divine power or anything like that.

Therefore, most microcosm masters will not allow their microcosm life forms to be too densely packed.

Especially for immortal gods and above, who are born with a share of the primordial power of the universe, their numbers will be even more strictly limited.

"You said that the Eternal Lord's microcosm is so vast that his realm has probably surpassed that of the Eastern Emperor Ancestor and the Purple Moon Ancestor. So, can the people living in the Eternal Holy Land continue to break through?" a Universe Lord whispered.

There is absolutely no problem with that. The highest being that can be born in a microcosm can be only one realm lower than the master of the microcosm.

Even within a miniature universe of the true God, a cosmic ruler can be born.

The Void God can also divide the origin of smaller universes and give them to universe masters who are able to break through.

If one becomes a god-king and creates one's own vast universe, it would be comparable to a small cosmic ocean.

Of course, this act of dividing the microcosm consumes a great deal of the universe's origin.

Even with the sheer size of the primordial universe, it wouldn't want to see too many true gods born, let alone those who barely reach the level of Void True Gods. It's simply impossible for them to burn themselves and consume their essence to give a chance to a universe master.

"According to the inheritance of ancient civilizations, it is possible, but if your strength is not enough to break through to the next cycle of reincarnation after you break through, the small universe will be destroyed after the three cycles of reincarnation. Wouldn't that be a waste of the origin of the Holy Land universe?"

Some people offered a reminder, but that didn't dampen the expectations of others.

If one can survive in the Holy Land universe, one can hone one's realm through eternal time. If one truly demonstrates the ability to surpass the true gods, there might still be a chance to be granted a small universe.

"I'm so envious of humans!"

The powerful beings watching could hardly contain their envy; for countless years to come, the entire cosmic sea would probably belong to the human race.

Three microcosms with diameters approaching 100 billion light-years are capable of nurturing and supporting an astonishing number of cosmic lords and true gods, far beyond anything that other cycles of reincarnation can compare to.

In the cosmic ocean, the strongest power is that of a complete cycle era, followed by the first two cycle eras, and finally the Holy Land universe.

But the situation will reverse in the future, and the Eternal Holy Land universe will be able to eternally control the entire cosmic sea.

"A diameter of 999 billion light-years!"

Looking at the largest holy land universe, the mountain dweller felt both surprised and regretful.

The size of this microcosm has already surpassed his original size, but unfortunately it still hasn't broken through to a hundred billion light-years and reached another level.

……

"Approximately 100 billion light-years in diameter."

On the other side, the Eastern Emperor Ancestor was also watching the Eternal Lord's breakthrough. Looking at this terrifying microcosm, he was instantly shocked.

The Eastern Emperor, residing on the continent of origin, naturally understood the meaning represented by this microcosm.

"The Eternal God!"

The Eastern Emperor Ancestor murmured, and he was an Eternal True God who carried the inheritance of a God-King. He had only broken through, and his strength had probably reached the limit of an Eternal True God.

"Luckily, I made the arrangements beforehand," said the Eastern Emperor Ancestor with relief, his thoughts of surrendering immediately rising.

Even the Eternal True God is not the limit of the Eternal Lord. He has only cultivated for a little over 100 million epochs, which is not even enough time for him to take a nap.

While the Eastern Emperor Ancestor was rejoicing, the Purple Moon Ancestor on the other side was much more distressed, or rather, had begun to feel fear.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"How could he possibly break through to the realm of an eternal true god right in the cosmic sea?"

The Purple Moon Ancestor suspected that he might be under an illusion, but unfortunately he wasn't.

For the Purple Moon Ancestor, the question is no longer about competing with the Eternal Lord for the opportunity to seize the primordial universe, but rather whether he can preserve his own microcosm.

Although the Eternal Lord had shown great talent, the Purple Moon Ancestor did not give up because his own universe was safe.

To destroy the cosmos of a true god, one needs the ultimate power of a void true god.

To destroy the microcosm of the Void God, one would need the ultimate power of the Eternal God.

If the Eternal Lord were merely a Void God, the Purple Moon Ancestor's microcosm would still be able to withstand it.
