Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 1149

Especially given that there are only nine lords in the entire cultivator camp, the birth of a Primordial Ancestor of Chaos also holds an extremely high status.

If this progenitor of Hunyuan could come from one's own ranks, then he would naturally be a close and helpful ally.

Moreover, unlike Lu Yunhe and Luo Feng, who either became lords in a short period of time or rose to the top in one step, their influence in various aspects has not yet been established.

Lords like Yuan and Minghuang all have incredibly close friends, disciples, and subordinates...

If there is an opportunity to break through the Hunyuan Ancestor, one would naturally want to fight for it for a close friend.

"To be fair, I think we should judge based on combat strength. The world-class Chaos Origin experts should fight one battle, and the strongest one should get the opportunity," said Lord Jin.

Although everyone wanted to give the spot to someone they were close to, as adults, they naturally understood that it was impossible to do whatever they wanted. Without a fair standard, nothing could be accomplished, not even on the surface.

There were nine lords present, and only one "Ancestor Core." Everyone wanted it, and it was impossible to cater to everyone's desires. So, the only option was to create an environment that was more favorable to themselves.

"Fighting is of little significance. For the Primordial Ancestor, the power below the Primordial Ancestor is completely meaningless. I think it would be better to judge based on contributions."

"The world-class Chaos Source that has contributed the most to the faction should rightfully receive this opportunity," said the Ancestor of the Dark Phoenix, shaking his head.

Combat strength? A little guy that can be killed with a breath is completely meaningless; it's better to focus on contributions.

Dividing them by contribution not only leads to higher recognition but is also more beneficial to the entire camp. It can also motivate the Hunyuan beings under their command, preventing them from just sitting around doing nothing.

Given the choice, I believe no one would want to choose a selfish person.

Since this treasure was obtained by the lords together, it should naturally be considered from the perspective of the entire faction.

"I think we can try our luck and pick randomly. Whoever is chosen will be chosen!" Lord Moman said.

"Or put it in a secret realm, and whoever finds it first gets to keep it."

Many lords also offered their opinions, and although their attitudes were somewhat biased, they were at least fundamentally fair.

"I think it's better to divide it by contribution," Luo Feng said.

Although he had only recently become a lord, he felt he had a say in these matters.

Compared to other methods, basing the division on contributions is more in line with his wishes.

Although the lords cannot do whatever they want, they are not so much as to suppress their own ideas over such a trivial matter.

After Luo Feng spoke, Lu Yunhe, his mentor, naturally expressed his support, since it didn't really matter to him.

In an instant, Lord Minghuang had three votes, giving him an overwhelming advantage at the lord level.

"Ugh!"

Lord Jin shook his head. In matters involving the entire camp, even the lords believed in the principle of majority rule.

The lords were responsible for making decisions, while the specific matters were left to Yuan, whom almost all the lords and even most of the Hunyuan beings trusted.

The entire camp was formed by Yuan, and most of the Hunyuan experts are directly or indirectly related to him, so it is unlikely to be biased.

In the original land, Lu Yunhe looked at the candlelight in front of him strangely. The latter's contribution to the faction was actually the highest among all world-class Chaos Origin beings.

"Greetings, lords!"

Candlelight was somewhat excited, never expecting that such a windfall would fall into his lap.

To be honest, among all the world-class Hunyuan, he is truly the most dedicated.

Having been entrusted with important tasks by two lords in succession, his accumulated contributions to the faction were naturally extremely high.

"Haha, you deserve it!" Yuan laughed, then handed the Ancestral Core to the other party.

Without hesitation, the candle flame that had been prepared swallowed the core, and an aura of the Primordial Ancestor instantly erupted.

……

Chapter 1002 Expanding Territory

"It has begun! My cultivators' camp's first Primordial Ancestor of Chaos!"

The nine lords watched expectantly as the aura of the highest level of power surged forth within the candle flame.

Because of the nature of acquired life, the realm of the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos has never belonged to cultivators. To advance further at the world-level Chaos level, one must become an immortal and indestructible eternal being.

This is a good thing, equivalent to a stable output of an immortal being.

But it's also a bad thing, because the number of Primordial Ancestor-level beings can't be increased at all.

If a new path can be opened up for the cultivators, even if they cannot become eternal beings in one step, it would still be a great thing.

After all, even if one becomes the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos, it doesn't mean one can't continue cultivating.

"You can try to comprehend the Primordial Bloodline of Hunyuan," Lord Naigu said.

“Only by first bestowing the corresponding potential from the top down can one be qualified to break through the Hunyuan Ancestor,” Yuan pondered.

"We can start with the Origin World and the Primordial Chaos," said the Star Lord.

Many lords were also observing the breakthrough of the candle flame, watching every detail of the changes in its life leap.

The sight of witnessing the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan break through was not rare for the lords; in fact, they had never seen it before.

After all, if they could see it, their first instinct wouldn't be to observe it, but to take it down.

As the Lord of Hunyuan, how could he possibly allow a naturally born Hunyuan being to break through in front of him?

Although the three thousand paths lead to the same goal, the processes involved and the breakthroughs achieved on each path are quite different.

If several paths can be combined, and the benefits of two paths can be enjoyed simultaneously, it would be of great benefit even to the lords' own cultivation.

It should be noted that there are quite a few Hunyuan progenitors stronger than lords like Naigu and Jin, and several who are on the same level as Yuan.

After hitting a bottleneck in cultivation, simultaneously cultivating a second path can also enhance the strength of lords.

Such a rare opportunity was naturally not to be missed by the lords, especially Luo Feng, who had just broken through to the Primordial Ancestor realm, whose transformation had given him great inspiration.

As the second cultivator to achieve instant enlightenment, Luo Feng's comprehension was arguably the strongest among those present.

boom……

The speed of the Candle Flame's breakthrough was very fast; it could even be said that the "Ancestor Core" was chasing after it to feed it. For breakthroughs that rely on external objects, the process of breakthrough itself has little to do with the Candle Flame.

After the two cores merged, the "primordial core" spontaneously transformed the candle flame, just like the enhancement it received after seizing the source world.

This time, however, it wasn't a hint from the Origin World; rather, it was as if the Origin World had completely merged into the cultivator's body.

If one can completely encompass the entire Origin World, and every action possesses the power to create the world, who would dare say that he is not the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos?

The fusion of the ancestral core lies in the fusion of the origin and the Tao.

Boom...

The celestial phenomena of the entire Primordial Land changed, and a vast power erupted from the candle flame, fully releasing the aura belonging to the Primordial Ancestor.

"I did it..."

The candlelight was filled with excitement, as the power belonging to the Primordial Ancestor of Chaos was released unrestrainedly.

Fortunately, this is the original land, blessed and isolated by many lords; otherwise, such unbridled release of power would have brought disaster to all life in the original land.

The difference in life between the Primordial Ancestor and those below him was so great that they couldn't even withstand the overflow of power.

The candlelight was somewhat intoxicated by its own power, feeling as if the entire world was under its feet, and nothing mattered to it.

"wake up!"

Lord Moman spoke, and the pure and incomparable Dao of Circulation struck the soul of the candle flame like a bronze chime, restoring him from his unbalanced state of mind.

Awakened, Candlelight looked at the nine Primordial Ancestors before him. The vast Primordial Dao permeated the entire world, and his invincible power was far inferior to any one of them. His excited mood instantly returned to normal under the suppression of the power.

Even though they are both at the same level of progenitor, the gap between them is still very large, especially since they do not possess the characteristic of immortality, making them inherently inferior.

"Hmm, this sudden increase in power has a greater impact on the mindset of cultivators than on those born with innate chaotic origins," commented the Star Lord.

For beings born with primordial chaos, it is easier to adapt to suddenly gaining power, since their power is no different from something falling from the sky, and they have no concept of mindset.

"It doesn't matter. The cultivator's foundation is still there. They'll adapt after a while." Yuan looked at the candlelight in front of him with satisfaction.

Although not the Lord of Hunyuan, the strength of the Hunyuan Ancestor was real and not to be underestimated. Moreover, he was not an ordinary ancestor; he was probably among the top in the endless Hunyuan space.

This monster is stronger than the last one, and the primordial core it gave birth to is naturally stronger as well.

Moreover, cultivators are more adaptable to power, meaning they have a stronger foundation.

"very good!"

Yuan was overjoyed. Although it was achieved with the help of external objects, the breakthrough of the candlelight was still a milestone for the cultivators.

Nine Hunyuan Lords, plus one powerful Hunyuan Ancestor, this power is already sufficient; ten Ancestor-level beings are already quite a lot.

For a Primordial Ancestor like Candlelight, as long as there are no special circumstances, its use is no different from that of a Lord.

The lords were planning to expand their territories—no, to save more Origin Worlds, even if they only had Primordial Ancestor-level combat power, the more the better.

"Once Luo Feng and Zhu Huo have rested, we will begin our operation!" Yuan set the tone.

A new lord and a new progenitor have both just broken through, so there's no need to rush them.

Lord Luo Feng is alright, but the main problem is the Ancestor of Candlelight. If the latter isn't given enough time to adapt, he really will die.

Even a newly awakened Primordial Ancestor, despite his great strength, is likely to die on the battlefield.

Yuan Ke didn't want the progenitor of Hunyuan, who had finally appeared, to perish so easily in the war.

"Target—the Southern River Territory!"

……

"Teacher, I originally thought that after becoming a lord, I would have the power to decide everything, but in the end, I still have to compromise." Luo Feng found Lu Yunhe and was filled with emotion as they discussed the Great Dao of Hunyuan.

Compromise is needed both within and outside the faction; even the Lord of Hunyuan feels like he's facing a difficult situation.

"That's because you're not strong enough. If you were strong enough to kill an immortal being, you could define the order of the endless primordial space according to your own will," Lu Yunhe said calmly.

As long as one Primordial Ancestor can remain immortal, then the other Primordial Ancestors will need to make certain compromises.

There's nothing you can do. An immortal being is determined to fight you to the death. Even if you can't defeat it, it's enough to make things difficult for you and prevent you from achieving your goals.

For example, Luo Feng wanted to prevent the naturally born primordial life form from devouring the source world. An eternal being, unable to bear this, disregarded everything and insisted on causing trouble for the source world, directly launching a guerrilla war. Not to mention Luo Feng, even the entire cultivator camp would find it unbearable.

So what if the Star Lord relentlessly pursues Mogus? It won't be long before the latter returns to his peak and continues to wreak havoc on the Origin World.
