Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"When did I say I was going to kill you?" Lu Yunhe retorted.

This is a demigod with the potential to become a true god. It would be such a waste to kill him so easily.

Every highly skilled professional is precious to Lu Yunhe, and he would not easily send them to their deaths.

Even if it means death, we must squeeze every last drop of value out of them.

Although there is no fundamental path to knowledge at present, Lu Yunhe has no intention of giving up on cultivating this path.

Compared to other fundamental paths, the path of knowledge clearly requires a higher level of collective strength.

The fact that the Flower Goddess was able to defeat the Netherworld Dragon and advance further in the Path of Dreams indicates that she has good aptitude in this path.

There are already very few professionals in the Path of Dreams, and even fewer who can reach the level of demigod. Those qualified to challenge for the position of true god are even fewer.

Having finally come across one, how could Lu Yunhe possibly waste it?

To some extent, Lu Yunhe's interests are aligned with those of the Origin Will; both hope that more advanced professionals will emerge, allowing the Origin Way to flourish.

"what!"

Upon hearing Lu Yunhe's words, the Flower Goddess was immediately dumbfounded, and her originally calm and composed face instantly stiffened.

She was prepared to die, but she never expected that the other party had no intention of killing her.

As for whether it was a lie? As a demigod, she has the ability to discern this.

"Then...then..."

The Flower Goddess was almost out of breath, and her recently recovered primordial power was also boiling. This rollercoaster-like experience was just too steep, almost like the world had turned upside down.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have...

No, if they didn't fight, she probably wouldn't trust the other party, and it would be impossible for them to sit here and have a proper conversation.

When she encountered the demigod Minghuan, the two hesitated for only a moment before engaging in a fierce battle. In the end, she was more skilled and not only killed him but also turned the corpse of Minghuan Dragon into her puppet.

The only regret is that he did not inherit all the legacy of the Dark Illusion Demigod.

Therefore, upon discovering a new mythical beast, especially one that appeared directly in her own base camp, the Flower Goddess acted without hesitation.

In the struggle for the Dao, it has always been a matter of life and death, showing no mercy whatsoever.

No demigod could resist the temptation to become a true god.

Unless one is a born saint or a good person who is unwilling to break their moral compass, and most importantly, both parties must be like that, the outcome will be similar.

After all, you are a saint, willing to let the other party go, but that doesn't mean the other party is willing to let you go. In the end, you will still fight, and it will still be a fight to the death.

"Killing someone is unnecessary!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the Netherworld Dragon before him; he too had received the inheritance of the Netherworld Demigod.

Although his talent was average, he also followed the path of illusion, and thus had some status advantage over him.

It's truly a pity that he died like this, and he's been dead for far too long, so there's no way to bring him back to life.

In fact, the demigod of the Underworld is no worse than the Goddess of Flowers, except that the latter has some advantage over the former in the Path of Illusion.

This slight difference can be enough to determine life or death in battle.

However, since he died, it means he was still inferior to the Flower Goddess, and luck is also a part of self-control.

“Not only will I not kill you, I will even help you take the position of True God,” Lu Yunhe said earnestly.

Just as the Lord of Hunyuan would value cultivators with the potential to reach the ultimate realm of the Origin Dao, Lu Yunhe would also pay attention to those with the potential to become Cosmic Gods of the Origin Dao.

If it were simply a matter of meeting the required strength, it would be quite simple for Lu Yunhe; he has plenty of ways to create beings comparable to cosmic gods.

The simplest is the divine body secret technique, or the heaven-defying primordial bloodline.

However, if it's the original Dao, Lu Yunhe is powerless to help and can only play a supporting role.

As for cultivating a Primordial Dao Ultimate Realm expert, even a Primordial Lord can only play a supporting role; they can't let a fool comprehend the Ultimate Dao.

The son of a certain Hunyuan lord, who had cultivated for countless years and even been taken to another Origin World to broaden his horizons, was nothing more than a Void True God.

"Help me become a true god!"

The Flower Goddess was completely dumbfounded. This was the first time she had ever heard such words from someone else, words that no one would dare to imagine even if they racked their brains.

"Could the other party be a born sage?" the Flower Goddess wondered.

However, even a great sage would not do something like "voluntarily" cutting off his own flesh to feed an eagle.

"What exactly is your purpose?" The Flower Goddess kept pondering the inherited memories in her mind, but still came up empty-handed, without any information about the Sky Tower.

Not only that, there is not even any information about the mythical beast, Modius.

"Purpose?" Lu Yunhe chuckled. "I hope that all professionals in the world can become true gods."

"what!"

Upon hearing this, the Flower Goddess burst into laughter. Since the beginning of the world, there have been countless eras, and there are currently no more than a thousand true gods. Even if you include the Abyss Demon Gods, the number does not exceed two thousand.

This number is even less than the number of legendary figures under her command.

To call this goal a delusion would be an understatement.

"Are they planning to make me take the blame? Or will they reap the rewards at the crucial moment? Or are they using tactics to keep me in check?" Flower Goddess couldn't help but wonder.

Besides that, she really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Seeing the Flower Goddess's incredulous expression, Lu Yunhe was not surprised, after all, what he said was indeed a bit exaggerated.

But if a massive number of true gods were to emerge, that would indeed be something to be happy about.

"Becoming a true god is not so easy. Although I killed Minghuan, I still have no confidence at all." The Flower Goddess gently walked to Lu Yunhe's side and stroked the dead Minghuan dragon in front of her.

Although she didn't know what the other party's purpose was, she could foresee that her life should be safe for the time being.

"But the fact that you were able to kill Minghuan shows that you have gone further than it on the path of dreams."

It's unwise to focus solely on the outcome, but since the deed has already been done, there's no point in saying more.

"So how do you plan to help me?" the Flower Goddess asked curiously.

Since they want to help her become a true god, it certainly won't be empty talk. Not to mention her current state, even if she recovers, she'll still be a long way from becoming a true god.

“Although it ultimately depends on yourself, the primordial will does provide a path.” Lu Yunhe shifted his gaze to the Flower Goddess beside him.

Having spent years here, the latter also faintly exudes a strange body fragrance, whether acquired or innate, it is unknown.

"The primordial will?"

The Flower Goddess seemed somewhat bewildered, clearly indicating that she was still a long way from comprehending the fundamental will of the Origin World.

"Dream, Illusion, Fantasy, the origin of the three divine beasts and the inheritance of professions."

Lu Yunhe looked at the Flower Goddess, and a dreamlike inheritance crystal appeared in his hand.

"This is the legacy of Minghuan!"

Lu Yunhe handed the inheritance crystal to the Flower Goddess, who was somewhat shocked as she received the inheritance information through her divine power.

"It turned out to be true!"

The Flower Goddess opened her lips. The contents of the inheritance crystal were true. After all, she had studied the corpse of the Netherworld Demigod and could easily distinguish it.

So it seems we can believe more of what the other person just said.

"Aren't you afraid that once I recover, I'll just take the inheritance and run away?"

The Flower Goddess suddenly realized that, up to this point, the other party did not seem to have imposed any real restrictions on her.

Although it was a short time, the Flower Goddess recovered some of her power, enough to support her in unleashing demigod-level power a few times.

It was only after realizing the restoration of her own strength that the Flower Goddess gradually gained the confidence to engage in dialogue.

"So, are you going to run away?" Lu Yunhe asked in return.

Upon hearing this, the Flower Goddess looked at the inheritance crystal in her hand and shook her head helplessly.

If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!

Now that the truth is out there, and there's no need for her to die, why should she run away?

Moreover, the goddess of flowers was genuinely curious about the words from the god of the sky that would help her become a true god.

"Please, Your Majesty, help me!" the Flower Goddess said without hesitation.

"Haha, transform!"

Lu Yunhe laughed loudly, and the source hidden within his body suddenly spread out. His original human form instantly transformed into the appearance of a dreamlike divine beast.

With a silver metallic period and core, it is further enhanced with wings that look like the symbol "∞".

Although his form looked incredibly strange, lacking any conventional biological shape, Lu Yunhe was undoubtedly filled with a dreamlike beauty, as if he were the embodiment of the primordial Dao.

If an ordinary person stood in front of him, they might even see what they consider beautiful in their own heart.

"Modiwus!"

The Flower Goddess spoke, then spread her hands, which also transformed into a purple butterfly.

Purple butterflies danced gracefully around the strange symbol, making the surrounding flowers even more vibrant.

The long-dead Netherworld Dragon moved involuntarily, protecting Dream Butterfly and Modius beside it.

In an instant, the three fundamental forces of dream, illusion, and fantasy began to intertwine and shine.

Chapter 874 Replenishing the Origin

"Look, the garden is taking off!"

The professionals who were dealing with the aftermath of the defeat soon saw the familiar Sky Garden rise again.

Due to the dimensional reduction attack, the entire capital's formation was severed from the connection between heaven and earth, and the Sky Garden, as its core, fell directly.

Now, the core of this garden kingdom has once again ascended into the sky, suppressing the destiny of the entire nation.

Upon seeing the familiar Hanging Gardens, the professionals from the Garden Kingdom, who had initially been anxious, gradually calmed down.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that they have not yet received news of the Flower Goddess's death.
