Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Earth.

Mountain City, the Lin family's old house.

Lin Ye lay on a bamboo chair, with a teapot and several purple clay cups on the tea table beside him.

"Creating a million King Worm warriors is extremely difficult, but creating hundreds of thousands of elite King Worms is less difficult."

While happily sipping tea, Lin Ye pondered these issues.

Because cultivating a Zerg army is a very costly endeavor in terms of wealth and resources.

Therefore, he had to make several preparations to ensure that his strength could steadily improve.

"Chan'er, do you have any good ideas for the Zerg Queen's resource-intensive creation of Zerg warriors?"

He turned his head and asked Chan'er, who was also drinking fragrant tea beside him.

"I don't know… I've never lacked money."

Faced with Lin Ye's question, Chan'er simply shrugged her shoulders and didn't answer directly.

It seemed like she wanted to leave the problem for him to solve himself.

"Huo Rong, what do you think?!" Lin Ye's gaze bypassed Chan'er and looked at the tall figure on his left.

"Standing to look, lying down to look, eating to look!"

Huo Rong's huge hand grasped a handful of Little Bear biscuits, then opened his bloody mouth and swallowed them all, looking very satisfied.

"Speak properly, or all these Little Bear biscuits will be cut off."

Looking at Huo Rong, who was leisurely and carefree, without any sense of urgency, Lin Ye said angrily.

"Master, you're asking me about making money, but isn't it true that you can't easily reap huge wealth through fighting and robbery?"

Huo Rong took a big bite of biscuit and winked at Lin Ye.

"Fighting! Robbery?"

For a moment, Lin Ye didn't react.

It wasn't until Chan'er gently uttered four words in his ear that the latter woke up as if from a dream.

"Extraterritorial Battlefield!!"

"That's right!!" Huo Rong and Chan'er exchanged a look and both nodded.

"You got it right! It's the Extraterritorial Battlefield!!"

Lin Ye jumped up from his chair excitedly, his face full of excitement.

"When my million Zerg World Lord army is successfully built, it will be one of my super trump cards."

"Plus the mature cultivation of a thousand Star Bodhi Flowers, its deterrent power is no less than that of an Unkillable Marquis, and then there's my Thousand Shadow Clone… the triple combination, tsk tsk tsk!!"

Lin Ye thought to himself.

Even though his combat power at this moment is still vastly different from the Knife River King in the original work.

But he is currently only a Domain Lord-level peak expert without any treasures, not even mastering the power of the world.

Just relying on his secret techniques and his understanding of the laws, he can already compete with an Unkillable Marquis.

Then, the group discussed a lot of precautions regarding the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

It wasn't until Lin Ye understood these details that the topic finally came to an end.

At this time, Lin Ye directly shifted the topic to another aspect.

He looked at the two-meter-tall burly man and asked solemnly, "Huo Rong, have you noticed anything unusual during your days guarding Earth?"

"Anything unusual?!"

Hearing Lin Ye's question, Huo Rong's red-haired face twisted like a hemp rope, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"It seems… besides this small Zerg nest, the most special thing is the Earth humans' cultivation speed and powerful souls. Their will is too strong, simply more powerful than ordinary cosmic humans!!"

"…" Hearing this, Lin Ye raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask, "Besides these?"

"It seems… there's nothing else." Huo Rong tried his best to make a pensive expression, seemingly really trying to remember.

However, Lin Ye didn't believe this funny follower at all.

"Think quickly! Don't be lazy!"

Lin Ye snatched the large bag full of Little Bear biscuits from Huo Rong's arms and said sternly.

"…Oh~~" Having his food snatched away, Huo Rong sat up very unwillingly and thought seriously.

After a while, Huo Rong turned to look at Lin Ye: "Little Master, I did discover some unusual things on Earth."

"No!"

"To be precise, it should be a very unusual thing."

"…"

Rolling his eyes at Huo Rong, Lin Ye knew that he had no good intentions.

The memory of an Unkillable King, even if it was blown up, shouldn't be to the point of senility.

"Tell me about it."

"Little Master, during your days away, Earth did discover some very special things. Look at this."

Saying that, Huo Rong took out something from his space ring and mysteriously handed it to Lin Ye.

Taking the black metal plate engraved with strange patterns, Lin Ye recognized it at a glance—

This was the Nine Calamity Manual left by Sitting Mountain Guest!

The thing that Xu Xin gave to Luo Feng in the original work now appeared in Huo Rong's hands and was given to Lin Ye.

"Little Master, don't look at this black metal plate as ordinary. Even if you use all your strength, you can't destroy it!"

"You can't even destroy a single star, even the slightest bit."

While saying that, Huo Rong stared at the broken part of the palm-sized metal plate: "I guess even the Old Master can't destroy it with all his strength. I don't know which powerful being broke it."

"Don't know."

Lin Ye also shook his head pretendingly, but in reality, he already knew everything.

"When I go to Chaos City, I'll show this black metal plate to my teacher, Venerable Fenchen, to see if he can discover any clues."

Lin Ye said while playing with the black metal plate, which was about the size of a pencil.

The cool and smooth touch was like stroking a piece of mutton fat jade, giving him a feeling of fondness.

After a while, he directly put it away.

This was a treasure belonging exclusively to City Lord Luo, and Lin Ye wasn't very interested.

Perhaps at some point, he would be very interested in the Star Tower and the Lieyuan Technique.

But there was a feeling in the dark guiding his path, and it wasn't related to this black metal plate.

Suddenly, as if attracted by something, the blood-colored giant tower in Lin Ye's sea of consciousness emitted a "buzzing" sound like cicadas chirping.

Then, a mysterious and profound force burst out, directly engulfing the black metal plate recording the Nine Calamity Manual in Lin Ye's hand.

Lin Ye: "…"

Lin Ye expressed his speechlessness and incomprehension at this sudden situation.

Chan'er and Huo Rong didn't care much, only thinking that Lin Ye had put the metal plate away.

"What happened!?"

Lin Ye was shocked, and then he separated a wisp of consciousness and sneaked into the depths of his sea of consciousness, wanting to find out what was going on.

However, the dense red light almost completely covered his sea of consciousness, making it impossible for him to go deeper.

Helpless, Lin Ye could only wait and see what happened.

After a while, messages appeared from the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda—

[Item: Nine Calamity Manual]

[Effect: The manual mainly studies the structure of the body, causing changes in the body's genetic structure, thereby causing changes in the body's genes.]

[Realm: Nine levels, one death per level, one transformation per level!]

[… ]

[… ]

Faced with the information about the Nine Calamity Manual fed back by the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.

Lin Ye proudly stated that he would never learn it.

Because learning the Nine Calamity Manual would easily attract the attention of Sitting Mountain Guest, leading to the leakage of his own secrets.

He was too special to escape the attention of the Lord of Laws or even the strongest in the universe.

And faced with Sitting Mountain Guest, who once possessed the vision of a God King realm, Lin Ye didn't dare to try at all.

Although he was very clear that the Nine Calamity Secret Technique far surpassed any secret technique he had come into contact with in terms of its application of laws.

It could be called the fighter jet of secret techniques!

And it was also a terrifying secret technique that could allow the body's genes to actively evolve.

It was really too fascinating!

There were only so few times that the body's genes would actively leap—from apprentice to planetary level… and finally from domain lord to world lord.

But the Nine Calamity Secret Technique could indeed allow the genes of immortals, venerables, and even stronger beings to continue to evolve.

To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of Sitting Mountain Guest, Lin Ye would have wanted to practice the Nine Calamity Manual properly.

"Perhaps, I can make a rubbing of this secret manual and let my teacher Venerable Fenchen cultivate it, so that his strength can continue to improve."

"It's best to let my teacher become stronger without affecting City Lord Luo's improvement and finally obtaining the Star Tower inheritance… even reaching the level of Palace Master Tianshi!"

Lin Ye silently pondered in his heart, and a wide avenue seemed to appear before his eyes.

"Okay, let's do it!"

"Let my teacher also practice the Nine Calamity Manual."

Although he didn't know how it would change the plot.

Lin Ye also wanted to try it.

The reason was simple.

His appearance had already made the development of Swallowed Star towards another direction.

"Cultivating the Nine Calamity Manual and then fusing the Blood Luo Crystal… combined, I really don't know what kind of shock my teacher can bring me."

Next, Lin Ye carefully separated a wisp of divine consciousness and recorded all the cultivation formulas fed back by the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, so that he could give them to his teacher later.

As for himself, he didn't want to practice it at all.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, five hours passed.

Lin Ye finally recorded all the information translated by the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.

Whether complete or incomplete, he recorded them all, ready to find an opportunity to send them to his teacher to help him.

"If my teacher can advance from Venerable Fenchen to Lord Fenchen, then I can naturally rise with the tide…"

Lin Ye secretly sketched the blueprint for the future in his heart.

Before anything had even started, he couldn't help but dream of spring and autumn.

He began to giggle sillyly.

Chan'er: "…"

Huo Rong: "…"

Beside him, Chan'er and Huo Rong both looked at the self-entertaining Lin Ye with the expression of looking at a fool.

They didn't quite understand his inexplicable appearance.

But Lin Ye still enjoyed it.

It wasn't until the last incomplete Ninth Level Manual was recorded that he ended his memory.

"It's done, I'm just waiting to arrange a wave of this secret manual for my teacher."

Lin Ye secretly rejoiced in his heart, and there was also a hint of joy on his face.

But this joy was fleeting, and his expression became serious.

"Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, since you can translate this cultivation manual, don't you have any more advanced secret techniques!?"

A wisp of consciousness mixed with Lin Ye's thoughts gently touched the body of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.

The latter immediately responded: Of course there are!

Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda: "It's many times stronger than this small secret manual!!"

Feeling its rather humanized answer, Lin Ye secretly rejoiced in his heart: There's hope!

Lin Ye: "It's useless to just talk, what can you prove it!?"

"It's best to let me see that kind!"

Finally, Lin Ye directly added.

Little Pagoda: "Of course! You watch carefully."

Then, an invisible wave transmitted from the pagoda body, directly integrated into Lin Ye's sea of consciousness.

[Primal Chaos Secret Manual: First Level!]

The clear appearance of this string of information in his mind directly stunned Lin Ye.

"It's actually the Primal Chaos Secret Manual!!"

"This… how is it possible?"

Although shocked, Lin Ye still tried his best to remember the corresponding secrets in his heart.

But when his consciousness came into contact with these secrets, he fell into deep confusion.

Ethereal and uncertain!

Clearly close at hand, yet separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Without the slightest slack.

Lin Ye continued to try to touch these secrets with spirit, mind, consciousness, and even the original force… using almost all means.

The clearly visible secrets, but when these forces came into contact, they were like a flower in a mirror or the moon in the water, disappearing at a touch.

Lin Ye: "Why can't I feel the existence of the 'Primal Chaos Secret Manual'!??"

Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda: "Think of a way yourself!"

The message transmitted by the Little Pagoda was simple and violent.

It was all up to Lin Ye to think!

Gradually, Lin Ye's breathing became more and more calm.

The whole person seemed to enter a deeper level of enlightenment, wholeheartedly invested.

At this moment, an ethereal figure appeared in Lin Ye's mind.

"This is…!?"

Feeling this bizarrely appearing figure, a big question mark popped up in Lin Ye's heart.

He wanted to see the figure's face clearly, but his consciousness seemed to be blocked by something, and he could only see it hazily, like looking at flowers in the fog.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!"

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, like spring thunder exploding in his ears, causing him to look intently.

In the hazy, mirror-like water curtain, a white-clothed young man with an ethereal temperament and long hair fluttering, his temples like frost, his temperament ancient and profound, like a pillar supporting the sky, could pierce the sky.

"A very familiar figure!?"

Upon seeing this white-clothed young man, Lin Ye couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind.

But this young man didn't say a word, just stretched out a finger like a green shoot and gently pointed at Lin Ye.

Even across endless time and space, it gently landed on his forehead.

In the silence, the secret manual information in his mind was quickly organized, arranged into symbols, and finally integrated into Lin Ye's consciousness.

"I understand, this first level of the 'Primal Chaos Secret Manual' is so magical."

By the time Lin Ye regained his senses, there was no white-robed young man to be seen.

The only ones surrounding him were Chan'er and Huo Rong.

At this moment, both of them were staring wide-eyed at Lin Ye.

Just a moment ago, they had felt an immense crisis.

A fear originating from the depths of their souls arose simultaneously from Chan'er and Huo Rong's hearts.

And the source of this crisis was none other than Lin Ye, standing right beside them.

"Chan'er, I won't say much else! I need to enter seclusion immediately!"

Not caring about their surprised gazes, Lin Ye said solemnly.

"Arrange it immediately!" Chan'er nodded.

Then, with a wave of her slender hand, a top-tier cultivation room instantly appeared.

"Whoosh!"

Turning into a stream of light, Lin Ye went straight into it.

"..."
