Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

Earth, Sky Castle.

A figure entered silently. Yang Wu controlled his puppet body, returning to this former residence. The familiar layout remained unchanged.

"M-Master?"

Outside the door, a familiar figure walked in. It was the slave leader, Suoqilong. Seeing Yang Wu's figure, he was first stunned, then tentatively asked.

"It's me!"

Yang Wu nodded and continued walking into the house.

At the doorway, Suoqilong stared blankly at Yang Wu's back. The familiar voice paired with the unfamiliar face made the scene very strange.

Moreover...

His master had already entered the sacred land of the human race through the peak genius battle and was cultivating in the Virtual Universe Company, right?

Although he was unwilling to believe it.

The biochip in his mind told him that this was indeed his master.

"Master!!!"

Suoqilong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately followed.

"Cosmic level 9 peak, not bad."

Inside the living room, Yang Wu sat on the sofa, looking at Suoqilong who was standing respectfully before him.

Not everyone was like him, Luo Feng, and the core members of the Virtual Universe Company, whose energy accumulation was entirely borne by the company, while they only needed to comprehend the laws.

Suoqilong, a Cosmic level 8 warrior of the Lisi race, was the most talented and powerful among all the slaves Yang Wu had purchased.

Although he couldn't compare with the genius battle members, his talent was considered good in a star system.

"Take these resources. When you break through to Domain Lord, you will be returned to freedom."

Yang Wu waved his hand and threw out a world ring, filled with resources that he couldn't use at all, obtained after casually killing an exploration team.

"Of course."

"You can also wait for the 300-year deadline to arrive!"

Yang Wu's two batches of slaves had a 300-year agreement. Once the 300-year deadline arrived, they would be released to freedom.

Currently.

It was Earth Calendar 2345, not far from the originally agreed-upon freedom deadline.

However, Yang Wu had clearly underestimated his position in the hearts of the slaves.

*Thump!*

Suoqilong didn't reach out to take the world ring, but knelt down in panic.

"Master, please don't abandon us!" Suoqilong knelt on the ground, trembling, pleading.

Freedom!

Was what every slave longed for.

Because of the existence of the biochip, slaves couldn't even think of resisting their masters, but deep down, they all wanted to escape and become free.

Under other slave owners, slaves lived in fear.

But following Yang Wu's slaves.

Apart from being restricted from leaving the country, they were no different from free people.

"Take it. When the deadline arrives, I will remove your biochips, and then whether you choose to stay or not is your own choice."

These slaves had worked hard even if they had no merit. In the years that Yang Wu had been away from Earth, they had diligently completed the tasks Yang Wu had given them.

"Thank you, Master!"

After receiving Yang Wu's promise, Suoqilong happily accepted the world ring.

A world ring!

That was a treasure containing a world inside. Not to mention a mere Cosmic level, even some Domain Lord level experts didn't have one, yet his master just gave it to him casually.

"Remember not to tell anyone that I am on Earth."

Yang Wu instructed.

"Yes!"

Suoqilong responded, then seemed to remember something, and hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"Master, during the process of transforming Earth, the higher-ups discovered an undetectable black metal plate. We have used various methods, but we can't leave a trace on it."

Yang Wu was stunned. The black metal plate Suoqilong described, could it be a fragment of the Heavenly Soul Crystal recording the Nine Kalpa Secrets!

He knew that the first Kalpa of the Nine Kalpa Secrets was on Earth, but he had never actively searched for it. Now it was unearthed by the Earth's higher-ups during the transformation.

It was purely accidental.

Earth had undergone several major transformations in the past 200 years.

During the Earth's transformations, because of large-scale modifications, deep excavation of land, opening mountain passages, etc., some relics and items on Earth were discovered.

Among them, there was a black metal plate. Because various methods couldn't detect its specific origin, the Earth's higher-ups decided to keep it and send it to Sky Castle.

"Master, I'll go get it for you!" Suoqilong respectfully retreated.

After a while.

Suoqilong brought the item. It was a pure black metal plate with some patterns on the surface, as if it had been smashed, but without any signs of decay.

"Master, we have surveyed the soil outside of it. This broken metal plate has been underground for at least 600 million years, but it itself has no signs of decay."

"Scanning instruments can't penetrate it. Temperatures comparable to the inside of the sun can't harm it in the slightest. Its hardness is at least F-grade metal."

Suoqilong delivered the black metal plate, and after informing him of the specific information, he tactfully retreated quietly.

"Nine Kalpa Secrets!"

Yang Wu once thought that his mind could control his desires, but when this heaven-defying secret was placed in front of him.

He realized...

His mind was not as strong as he imagined. He was still a mortal, and he still had a deep desire for power.

The Nine Kalpa Secrets, this kind of heaven-defying opportunity, was placed in front of him, testing his heart. Who could withstand such a test?

Yang Wu picked up the metal plate, stroking the palm-sized black metal plate in his hand. It was cold and smooth, like the touch of jade.

Although it was palm-sized, it felt as heavy as a pencil.

Feeling the coolness from the metal plate on his hand, Yang Wu's thoughts were very contradictory about this treasure.

To take it!

Or not to take it!

At this moment, his mind raced. With his consciousness calculation speed, he hesitated for a moment.

The Nine Kalpa Secrets can continuously improve the body's genes of the cultivator.

For this reason, it is even resisted by the laws of the universe. Once taught, the laws of the universe can directly erase the contents of the secret method from the memories of other cultivators.

Heavenly Soul Crystal!

The reincarnated God King, Sitting Mountain Guest, barely recorded the secret method in it based on the characteristics of this special treasure, so that it could be inherited in the original universe.

Nine Kalpa Secrets.

The limit of ordinary life levels is 768 times.

But if the life gene level itself is very high, like Yang Wu's Destruction Beast clone, as long as he cultivates the Nine Kalpa Secrets, he can reach a perfect gene level of 10081 times.

Improving the life gene level is secondary. The most important thing is that only candidates who cultivate the "Nine Kalpa Secrets" are qualified to recognize the supreme treasure "Star Tower" as their master.

If Yang Wu said that he wasn't jealous of this God King's main weapon at all, that would be purely deceiving himself.

Although it is extremely difficult to recognize the Star Tower as its master, Luo Feng in the original story barely succeeded after nine deaths and one life, but Yang Wu had the confidence that he could do it.

Hanging on!

Is also unreasonable.

I can't go against my heart, whether you choose me or not.

Whether he was rejected or not, he didn't want to miss this heaven-defying opportunity.

Want to transcend desire?

How easy is it!

It was because he knew too much, knew what all this meant, that Yang Wu's desire was so strong that he couldn't control it.
