Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

"This Envoy of the Snow Realm, truly lives up to its renowned reputation as a Mechanical Treasure of the Snow Realm lineage. Impressive," Luo Feng praised. Although he wasn't fond of the 'Ancestral God of the Snow Realm'—that ancient Godly King—he had to admit that the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm had extremely deep attainments in the Great Dao of Life.

According to the records of his master, the Mountain sitting guest, in terms of strength, the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm was roughly equal to his master. But because his cultivation was of the Great Dao of Life, his ability to protect himself was far stronger.

Endless years have passed, and many ancient Godly Kings have perished. However, despite his numerous sins and many enemies, the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm managed to live freely until today, which speaks volumes of his abilities.

"Different Primeval Daos have different strengths, and the Great Dao of Life indeed possesses the strongest capability for survival," Luo Feng had seen the complete Great Dao of Life Origin and understood the power of this path.

Even just grasping a branch of it could dominate the Land of Origin.

"Without taking action, you are instead praising. Are you scared?" Liu Yinyan, who was commanding the Envoy of the Snow Realm, had no patience to wait, "I want to see how strong the top eternal true gods really are."

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Envoy of the Snow Realm pounced, and a ray of light flashed, engulfing Luo Feng.

Normally, such an attack would be enough to erode away the body of an eternal true god and cut off all of its lifeforce. However, Luo Feng simply slashed casually with his blade, and the Blade Light flowed like water, perfectly blocking the pounce of the Envoy of the Snow Realm and slicing it to retreat backward in flight.

"Hmm?" While the Envoy of the Snow Realm was flying backward from the momentum, it suddenly changed direction and increased in speed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!! Turning into a blur of afterimages, it continued to make consecutive pounce attacks.

Luo Feng stood firm on the spot, defensively impeccable.

"All retreat, back to the city owner's mansion," suddenly, an order rang out in Luo Feng's ears.

The entire military formation completely transformed into a group of unpredictable flowing water, heading straight for the city owner's mansion.

With the help of over a hundred major formations within Huyang City, and with Luo Feng blocking the Envoy of the Snow Realm, it only took a few moments for the entire formation to completely retreat back to the city owner's mansion.

"Brother Luo He, it's the Marquis's order to withdraw the troops." Yuewu informed through a transmission.

Luo Feng understood.

He had just begun to comprehend the Primal Chaos Laws and was at his weakest as a being in the Primal Chaos Realm!

At this moment, his small universe had just begun expanding, his True God's Heart had not yet transformed, his godly body and Divine Power had not yet undergone transformation, and he had not had enough time to grow! He hadn't had the chance to study the heritage of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Exposing his mastery of the Primal Chaos Laws now would be the most foolish act.

The Marquis Liu Yin would definitely not mind crushing Luo Feng to death.

Just like Xue Yun before, in a moment of life and death, his bloodline transformed, and he grasped control over the Primal Chaos Laws! But apart from his moves being somewhat mysterious, there was no other improvement, and he was directly slain by Luo Feng.

"Only when my perfect godly body of the Primal Chaos Layer reaches its limit can I really stand my ground within the Primal Chaos Realm," Luo Feng thought to himself.

Based on what he understood,

After breaking through to the Primal Chaos Realm with an unlimited godly body, one would still need to cultivate the Secret Technique for a considerable period to improve all aspects without weakness. Only then could one reach the pinnacle of the Primal Chaos Realm, equivalent to the Marquis of Jiu Jiang!

As a Perfect Divine Body, if I can grow to the limit, I should be close to the Marquis of Jiu Jiang, but still not on par with Marquis Liu Yin.

As for now?

Daring to confront the Marquis Liu Yin would be courting death.

...

Within the city owner's mansion.

The Divine Power Incarnation of the Marquis of Jiu Jiang appeared and held a banquet to entertain the core members of his army. Over a hundred eternal true gods gathered within the grand hall, taking their seats in order.

Luo Feng and Yuewu were seated at the first positions to the left and right below the seat of the Marquis of Jiu Jiang.

"In this skirmish, all of you have worked hard," the Marquis of Jiu Jiang said, "But with the appearance of the Envoy of the Snow Realm, even if we could barely win this battle, I'm afraid only two or three-tenths of the eternal true gods would survive."

The eternal true gods present all agreed.

Actually, they had all clearly understood the situation just now. With the Envoy of the Snow Realm tying up Luo Feng, there was a chance that the army of the Marquis of Jiu Jiang could have been defeated in the ongoing battle.

Even if they won, it would only be a pyrrhic victory!

"A narrow victory would only lead to Marquis Liu Yin sending another army again," the Marquis of Jiu Jiang looked at his subordinates, "but you are all the military force I have. There's no need for us to waste our strength against them."

Luo Feng agreed; Marquis Liu Yin didn't care about the loss of life from the Heartshadow Sect, but the Marquis of Jiu Jiang cherished his army!

The three thousand-plus eternal true gods were nearly all the military force the Marquis of Jiu Jiang had.

A war of attrition?

He certainly didn't want that!

"To win, it must be an overwhelming victory," the Marquis of Jiu Jiang told them, "I don't need a victory with countless deaths."

"Thank you, Marquis."

Many of the eternal true gods were extremely moved.

Luo Feng, Yuewu, and a very few others were confident they could survive the battles within the military formations. But the other eternal true gods could die at any moment; in the face of the Envoy of the Snow Realm, they would perish with a single encounter. The Marquis of Jiu Jiang cared about their lives and didn't want them to be wasted, naturally moving these eternal true gods.

Such a Primal Chaos Overlord was indeed worth following!

"This ceasefire will last for quite a while," the Marquis of Jiu Jiang said, "I will find a way to call for more reinforcements."

Looking at his subordinates, including the summoned master and servant of Luo He, Yuewu, Yong Hu, and others, the Marquis of Jiu Jiang was quite troubled: "I have already invited such powerful eternal true gods, who else can I invite?"

"Moreover, Marquis Liu Yin was actually able to invite an Envoy of the Snow Realm, representing the 'Ancestral God of the Snow Realm,' willing to assist him," Marquis Jiu Jiang was very aware of the significance of the appearance of an Envoy of the Snow Realm.

An Envoy of the Snow Realm, as the name suggests, represents the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm to a certain extent.

Without the permission of the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm, that envoy would not possibly participate in battle!

"With one Envoy of the Snow Realm, if Marquis Liu Yin is willing to pay a certain price, he may possibly invite two, three, or even more envoys," Marquis Jiu Jiang knew this.

There are a total of thirty-six Envoys of the Snow Realm.

They are powerful forces mobilized within the territories under the command of the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm! As for the more than ten Primal Chaos Overlords under his command, they joined because they valued the significant enhancement the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm could provide to their survival abilities.

Without sufficient reason, these beings of the Primal Chaos Realm couldn't be mobilized.

"I had long heard that Marquis Liu Yin has an extremely good relationship with the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm, to the point of even having his children become disciples of the Ancestral God," Marquis Jiu Jiang shook his head. "But I never imagined that the Ancestral God would go so far as to help him like this."

Many ancient existences would not easily intervene in the wars of other nations.

But the Ancestral God of the Snow Realm is notoriously violent and reckless, riddled with monstrous sins; it is not surprising he would do such a thing.

"Faced with an at the Eternal Level, I'm afraid I can't win," Marquis Jiu Jiang thought to himself, "I must enter the fray personally!"

The conflict at the level of the Primal Chaos Realm is much more brutal!

"Relying solely on myself isn't enough; I must seek help," Marquis Jiu Jiang determined in his heart. The cost of asking for help from someone of the Primal Chaos Realm was great, but at this moment, he could no longer care about that.

The reluctance to easily escalate wars is due to this reason.

Once escalated, the weaker side will seek help, easily leading to multiple great battles involving those of the Primal Chaos Realm!

******

In the region of the Primordial Cosmos, Luo Feng's small universe.

"Rumble~~~"

In the central region of the small universe, spanning a hundred billion light years in diameter, there was a special Space of Cosmic Origin that was now collapsing, with the emergence of Chaotic Power inside and the substantial manifestation of the laws of Primal Chaos.

This place was as if it were a space within the Primal Chaos Layer.

"I originally constructed the small universe using the concept of 'The Beginning of Unity.' What follows is natural evolution," Luo Feng's Divine Power Incarnation stood in this Space of Cosmic Origin, watching the surging Chaotic Power around him, "My framework is quite perfect indeed, eventually naturally evolving into a Primal Chaos Primeval Space."

The evolution of a small universe starts with its formation and framework. After that, it grows naturally.

If the initial framework is somewhat defective, it'll cause the small universe to be somewhat smaller in scale.

If the framework has severe defects, it might even stop evolving at a certain layer. Such cases, though rare, do occur. Those who have stepped on the Law Lineage to become a True God rarely reach this stage.

As for those on the path of Bloodline, their small universe is determined by their bloodline. Although their upper limit is not as high as that of the Law Lineage, they would not have fatal flaws.

"What's going on?"

"This is..."

Inside Luo Feng's small universe, where countless human beings lived, some of the universe masters and True Gods became aware of changes in the small universe.

"Hmm?" The Rampant Demon God arrived at the original border of the small universe, only to see an endless expansion of Primal Chaos forming outside its edges.

"Primal Chaos Currents have appeared outside, identical to the Primal Chaos Currents of the Universe Ocean," the Rampant Demon God exclaimed in amazement, "Is the Lord of the Galaxy's small universe expanding again?"

At this moment, many True Gods had also arrived outside the galaxy universe.

"The small universe of the Ancestral God of the Galaxy is expanding."

"A diameter of a hundred billion light years, it's growing again?"

"The Lord of the Galaxy is becoming more and more fearsome."

As the powerhouses of the human race and others from the Universe Ocean looked on in astonishment, the Ancestral God of the Galaxy 'Luo Feng' had long been invincible in the entire Primordial Cosmos Region. In the face of yet another enhancement of this invincible existence, the various clans' powerhouses naturally accepted it.

"Luo Feng, how big do you think your small universe will become this time?"

At this moment, Luo Feng's family had arrived outside the small universe in their boat, watching its entire transformation. Xu Xin, Luo Ping, Luo Hai, his younger brother Luo Hua, his father Luo Hongguo, and his mother Gong Xin Lan were all watching the changes.

"It's estimated to reach a trillion light years," Luo Feng said.

"Last time, it reached a hundred billion light years, and then you went to brave through reincarnations," Xu Xin inquired, "How significant is this breakthrough for you?"

"Very significant."

Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

Only by becoming a being of the Primal Chaos Realm can one be considered to have entered the upper echelon of the Land of Origin. Since the number of ancient Godly Kings is too small, and one Godly King can establish a nation, many key affairs in the Land of Origin are handled by beings of the Primal Chaos Realm.

Even in the two great Ancient Countries, beings of the Primal Chaos Realm are quite important! In the imperial lineages like Emperor Chu's Lineage of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, beings of the Primal Chaos Realm can barely become Guest Elders.

With the pride of the Imperial Clan, being willing to call someone a Guest Elder indicates the status of beings of the Primal Chaos Realm.

"At least, I'm not cannon fodder anymore," Luo Feng thought silently; to the higher-ups, an eternal true god was truly nothing but cannon fodder.

Under observation by the various powerhouses of the Universe Ocean, including his teacher, the Primal Chaos City Lord, and Zhenyan, as well as the Thunder Lord and others, Luo Feng's small universe expanded at a terrifying speed.

After five years had passed, the expansion of the small universe finally stopped. By then, it had already reached a full trillion light years in diameter.

Such an enormous small universe, even when compared to the Primordial Cosmos, wasn't far off.
