Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

"soul!"

Lu Yunhe's heart stirred. The "soul" lineage, which had been unable to break through in the illusory realm path for so long, was finally perfected and he had comprehended it.

Having fully comprehended the "soul" lineage, Lu Yunhe's soul underwent another evolution, and his soul origin, which had already reached its peak, reached an even higher level.

Chapter 593 The Second Level of the God King

"I've finally cultivated my soul lineage to the God-King realm!"

Lu Yunhe sighed with emotion, noting that the cultivation level of the Soul lineage had always been among the highest of all the fundamental paths.

After all, when it comes to the most essential things in life, there are only a few, and the soul is one of them, and it is the most important one, at least in this world.

Lu Yunhe had cultivated the Soul lineage to its peak a long time ago, but he had not been able to break through. Therefore, he set his sights on freeing himself from soul enslavement.

Ultimately, he achieved his final breakthrough by drawing upon the emotion of being freed from the enslavement of his soul.

"Is this a case of good deeds being rewarded?"

Lu Yunhe laughed, saying that the breakthrough in his soul lineage had given him a deeper understanding of the terror of the Void Realm Dao.

His so-called "soul lineage" can only be considered as having control over his own soul.

The ultimate goal of the entire Void Realm Path is to directly aim to become the Soul of the World.

To become the illusory soul of a universe, a source world, and thus control the entire source world.

This is simply heaven-defying. To control a source world is to be a world-level Chaos Origin, and a source world itself is essentially comparable to a Chaos Origin Lord.

Becoming the soul of the Origin World is equivalent to becoming the Lord of Chaos, which is a perfect example of overtaking on a curve.

The Void Realm Dao itself isn't actually that overpowered; the key is that this environment truly exists within the Chaos Origin Space.

The supreme rules, this self-formed protective mechanism of the source world, confined itself when facing the Void Realm Dao.

Just like the primordial world, the original universes in the three thousand dimensions all have a world will.

Then, cultivators who emerge from the three thousand dimensions, when their will reaches the level of a Chaos Ruler, can directly seize another body, become the original cosmic will, and accumulate the power of a universe.

If the original cosmic will does not exist, there is no way to possess another body, let alone accumulate the resources of a great universe.

"Become a virtual soul of the source world, then get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, a clear path to the highest realm." Lu Yunhe thought to himself, it's not easy, but at least you can see the direction clearly.

Lu Yunhe then looked at the Dream Fox King, who was still immersed in joy. Matters involving the soul were indeed very difficult.

It's quite absurd that a soul enslavement cast by an immortal deity can only be broken by a god-king of the soul path.

The God-King of the Soul Path has never appeared before in the Origin Continent, which means that Lu Yunhe can be considered the first person in the Soul Path of the Origin Continent.

Even in the endless source world, he could barely rank among the top, since it's rare for a single source world to produce a god-king of the same soul lineage.

"Holy Lord!"

The joy of liberation slowly dissipated, and the Lord of Dream Fox finally came to his senses. Looking at the Lord of the Holy Land beside him, he climbed down again, his body trembling slightly.

Although she was happy to regain her freedom, her former master was still by her side and could control her life and death. So-called freedom was still an illusion.

Even the Lord of Dream Fox was unsure whether the Holy Lord truly wanted to free her from the enslavement of her soul, or whether he was using her as a test subject.

Strangely enough, when he was just the Dream Fox King, if he realized that he might be enslaved by a soul, he would rather self-destruct than do so.

Now, the Lord of Dream Fox doesn't even dare to self-destruct. If Lu Yunhe wants to enslave his soul again, the former will probably obediently accept it.

Seeing this, Lu Yunhe fell silent. Freeing himself from the enslavement of his soul was simple for him at this moment, but freeing himself from the enslavement of his mind and will was a much more difficult task.

"Everyone is like a dragon!"

A word popped into Lu Yunhe's mind, but to achieve this would be beyond even a miracle, and he really didn't want to add such a heavy burden to himself.

"I'm just an ordinary god-king, I should think about myself first."

Lu Yunhe didn't have such a grand wish; in this kind of world, it was unrealistic to even think about achieving it.

"Get up, you are free. Cultivate diligently in the holy land, and we look forward to your further progress."

Lu Yunhe stroked the fur of the Dream Fox Lord. It felt nice, but it couldn't compare to the emotion he felt when he broke through the shackles of his soul.

"Yes, Holy Lord!"

The Lord of Dream Fox breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the depths of her soul had no intention of continuing to enslave her and had completely returned her freedom.

However, if this happens, will she still be able to enjoy the same extraordinary treatment as before? She didn't become the ruler of the universe because of her own talent.

"I'm actually starting to miss being a soul slave?"

Lord of Dream Fox almost slapped himself. Why did such a thought even come to mind? It shouldn't be like this.

……

After leaving the Lord of Dream Fox, Lu Yunhe arrived at the Holy Land Universe Origin Space. Because he was only a wisp of divine power incarnation, he still needed to rely on the power of the Holy Land Universe itself.

"Disperse!"

A strange wave instantly enveloped the three holy land universes, sweeping directly across the souls of all living beings and releasing the shackles on the souls of those who were enslaved.

"I... am free."

In the three holy land universes, some soul enslaved people instantly regained their freedom, including humans, demons, insects, and people from all races.

"Thank you, Holy Lord!"

A human cosmic venerable one, dressed in a simple black robe and with long blue hair, sincerely bowed to the core of the sacred universe.

He had once been enslaved by the guardian beast god of the Ancestral God Cult, but now he has finally regained his freedom.

"Thank you, Holy Lord..."

The group of beings who had been freed from slavery understood that only the great Lord of the Holy Land could have accomplished this.

"The power of faith formed from such genuine gratitude should be incomparably pure."

Lu Yunhe also felt the joy that came from the soul of these people. Although the number of people was not large, it still affected him a little.

"Even such a small number of people, with their power emanating from their very souls, can influence me, the God-King. No wonder gaining the faith of everyone allows one to directly control the entire Origin World."

Lu Yunhe, regaining his senses, was secretly alarmed. This was only the influence of the souls of the enslaved people in the three holy lands.

If it were a complete primordial universe, an origin continent, or even the entire source world, how terrifying would the combined soul power of all life forms be?

However, apart from soul enslavement, only the ultimate realm of the Void Path can connect these forces into one.

As for soul enslavement, it is said that there are some taboos, making it impossible to succeed through this method.

However, the method of faith has too many flaws. Even with many convenient means, it is difficult to unify everyone's faith, and it also requires a certain degree of faith.

"The road is long and difficult!"

Lu Yunhe sighed, and then good news came from the other clones as well. The breakthrough in the soul lineage had also affected all the clones.

……

Destroy the dimension!

Deep within the Destruction Dimension, a somewhat peculiar labyrinthine space quietly moves and sways in sync with the breathing of the Destruction Dimension.

It intersects with other maze spaces from time to time, and then separates like bubbles.

Sometimes, spatial rifts may be encountered due to spatial collisions or battles between cultivators. In such cases, other spaces will automatically fill in the gaps and repair the dimensional damage.

However, sometimes strange spaces are themselves calamities within dimensions, like black holes that directly pierce through the dimensional membrane.

If someone were to venture deeper into it, they would discover that there are spaces within spaces, as if it were composed of countless spatial universes, which is extremely similar to the entire Destruction Dimension.

The strange space was hidden within the labyrinth, unnoticed by anyone.

Suddenly, the strange space trembled violently, and the small worlds inside continued to evolve wildly, their number almost endless.

Countless small spaces, arranged in an extremely mysterious way, constitute a large space, even resonating with the entire dimension of destruction.

"Heaven and Earth... Emptiness... Diversity..."

The evolution of the soul awakened the consciousness of Greiza's clone in the strange space.

After becoming the God-King, Greiza's clone transformed himself into a small world, immersing himself as much as possible in the entire Destruction Dimension to comprehend the operation and growth of dimensions.

This process was very rewarding. With the best Void Dao teacher, Destruction Dimension, as his mentor, Greiza's clone made tremendous progress in both his understanding of the Void Dao and the fusion of the two lineages.

The fragments of the Great Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Technique and the construction of the "Primordial Chaos Realm" also provided a lot of inspiration.

Among them, the Heaven and Earth veins, as well as the Void and Origin veins, are only one step away from being perfected and reaching the second level of the God King.

This breakthrough in the soul lineage became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Lu Yunhe's main body's improvement was achieved through the "Fusion Technique," and it had little impact on his other clones.

However, breakthroughs in the fundamental path are universal; when one person achieves a breakthrough, everyone benefits.

Moreover, the soul of the original body had already reached its limit, so the increase it received was not significant.

However, for the clones, the improvement was enormous, with their soul power reaching the very top level.

This kind of improvement still involves the essence of the God-King's soul. If one wants to use dimensional essence crystals to improve it, it would require an astronomical number.

An improvement in one's soul essence also brings about an increase in comprehension and deduction speed. Coupled with sufficient accumulation, the final bottleneck in fusion is directly broken.

Swish!

The strange space expanded suddenly and then shrank rapidly, as if it were breathing.

Nine times in a row, the strange space shrank to almost a black dot. If one were to come into contact with the essence of the void, one would be surprised to find that this black dot was remarkably similar to the black particles of the essence of the void.

boom…

The black dots formed from the strange space slammed heavily into the essence of the void, causing a large number of black mist spheres to shatter.

As the void itself began to repair itself, the black dot blocked it, suppressing the repair speed.

"The Origin World, the Primordial Space!"

Greza's clone touched the cage again, and the infinitely vast Origin World became finite, while the higher-dimensional Chaos Origin Space became a new infinity.

"The primordial universe is a cage, the source world is a cage, and the endless primordial space is a new cage, repeating endlessly."

Greza's clone was filled with emotion, each time he thought he had broken out of one cage, only to find himself entering a new one.
