Devouring the Stars: The Master of Metaphysics

Tass World, Lando City.

Lando City, although not the largest city in the Tas World, is the oldest and most important city.

In a hall in the central mansion of this ancient city, there is a tall bluestone ancient table, on which is enshrined a section of emerald green branch with a woody texture, and a clear uneven cross-section can be seen.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the enshrined emerald green branch vibrated slightly, as if something resonated with it, and seemed to be calling for something.

In the hall, there are also several immortal gods emitting powerful pressure, standing quietly in the hall and watching the vibrating emerald green branch.

"How long has the holy object been in this state?" A tall immortal god asked.

Hearing this, a realm master standing behind several immortal gods replied respectfully: "It's been more than ten minutes."

"More than ten minutes..." Another immortal god said: "With such a long time, that person should be able to detect the movement of the holy object."

An immortal god nodded, "There is enough time."

"Don't worry."

The tall immortal god who spoke first said slowly: "The holy object will be brought to us."

...

"Lando City."

After reading the plaque above the city gate, Li Qi followed the crowd through the mottled bluestone walls and entered this ancient city.

"This city doesn't seem to have anything special except that it's old. How can there be an E-level laser gun?"

Looking at the scene of people coming and going on the street, Li Qi felt that this city was not much different from other cities in the Tas world.

But when he thought of the existence of an E-level laser gun in this city, he felt that this ancient city was full of weirdness!

"In this direction."

Feeling the emerald leaves in his hand beating like a heart, Li Qi looked at the mansion in the center of the city that was as tall as a mountain, and then walked towards it in the astonished eyes of others.

He strode quickly and soon arrived at the gate of the mansion in the center of the city.

Before he could speak, the two domain lord-level guards stepped aside.

A domain lord-level guard said respectfully: "Dear guest, please come in. Many immortal gods of our clan have been waiting for a long time."

"Immortal gods? Waiting for a long time?"

Li Qi was surprised by this sudden remark, so he asked: "How do you know that the person they are waiting for is me? Could it be someone else?"

"If the guest is not guided by the holy object, then the guest is not the one you are waiting for." The domain lord guard replied.

"Holy object?! Guidance..."

Li Qi lowered his head slightly and glanced at his clenched left hand.

Then, he looked at the two domain lord-level guards standing on the high ground and said, "I am the person you are waiting for, lead the way."

"No need to lead the way." The domain lord-level guard shook his head gently, "The holy object will guide the guests."

"Guide again..."

Li Qi felt the emerald leaf in his hand beating more and more violently, and quickly entered the mansion.

Then, he followed the guidance and came to a hall, and no one blocked the way.

In front of the hall hundreds of meters high, Li Qi stood in front of the gate.

The emerald leaf held in his left hand beat violently, and every time it beat like a strong heart!

In a trance, he vaguely saw a mysterious ancient tree of emerald green, illusory and ethereal!

"Welcome, distinguished guest holding the holy object."

A gentle voice like spring breeze came into Li Qi's ears.

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Qi woke up instantly.

Then, he saw a black-haired man in a dark green battle suit, standing in the hall gate with a smile, looking at him quietly.

Li Qi bowed slightly and said, "Meet the Immortal God!"

From the faint pressure emanating from the black-haired man in front of him, he could guess that he was an immortal god.

"Distinguished guest."

The immortal god turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Please."

Li Qi stepped in. Even when he was in the hall, the emerald leaf in his hand was still guiding him forward.

The gentle voice of the immortal god sounded, "The guest should be the prince trained by one of the five giants."

"Yes."

Li Qi nodded lightly and admitted it.

This is not a difficult thing to guess. The Tas world has joined the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

These immortal gods must be able to understand some secrets. It is not uncommon to know the geniuses trained by the five giants.

The two figures, one big and one small, continued to walk, and the immortal god smiled and said, "Your Highness can obtain the sacred object of our clan, and it is also predestined with our clan."

Li Qi looked down at his clenched left hand, "It is indeed predestined. This sacred object has helped me a lot before."

Mysterious emerald leaf!

This was the first treasure he had ever obtained, a real treasure, and the key to his realization of the law of the origin of wood!

The immortal spirit smiled and did not answer, but whispered: "We are here..."

Li Qi looked forward and saw an ancient bluestone table in the hall in front of him. On the table was a shelf made of white jade, on which was a broken emerald green branch, and the uneven cross-section was clearly visible.

As soon as he saw the branch, he seemed to be trapped on it, and the space around him seemed to be a little clearer!

"This branch?! It can actually..."

Shaking his head violently, Li Qi forced himself out of that strange feeling with the firm will of a realm master.

"Your Highness is really amazing."

The gentle voice of the immortal god came from behind, "I was instantly separated from the artistic conception of the holy object."

"Your Highness, can you take out our clan's sacred objects and take a look?" Another voice sounded.

Li Qiwen turned around and saw several immortal gods exuding a faint coercion, standing silently on one side.

The one who spoke just now was the leader who looked like an old man and was an immortal god.

"Your Highness, don't worry."

The gentle voice sounded again, "We will not force His Highness to return the sacred objects. Your Highness will decide after listening to our compensation plan.

"I am certain that His Highness will not reject our compensation package."

"So confident?"

Li Qi listened and was a little surprised by the confidence of the immortal god.

"This is your sacred object."

Li Qi raised his left hand and slowly opened his palm upward, quickly revealing the beating emerald leaf.

"It's a whole leaf."

"It turns out to be leaves..."

"I thought..."

After seeing that the holy object in Li Qi's hand was a complete leaf, a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the immortal gods.

"The complete leaves contain the essential mystery of the original law of wood."

The gentle voice said: "The understanding of the original law of wood used for enlightenment is very good."

"Since His Highness has brought out the holy objects for us to see, we cannot favor one thing over another."

The leader of the old man, the Immortal God, said: "Lu, take your highness to see the venerable one."

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this title, Li Qi's pupils dilated slightly, and he was a little shocked, "There is actually a Venerable guarding the world of Tas!

"What secret is hidden in this world of Tas that a Venerable can guard for a long time?"

The gentle voice responded: "Yes!"

The immortal god known as Lu smiled and said: "Your Highness, please come with me to see the Venerable."

"good."

Li Qi nodded and followed the immortal god ‘Lu’ to visit the venerable.    …

Leaving the hall where sacred objects are enshrined, the two of them walked towards the largest building in the mansion.

It was a building that covered a large area and was over a thousand meters high. It looked like a tower and had no decoration on the outside.

"Lou!"

At the entrance of the tower, there is an immortal god who exudes terrifying pressure.

He saw Lu and the tall Li Qi behind him and asked, "Who is behind you?"

"His Royal Highness holds a sacred object. I brought him to see His Holiness." Lu replied.

"oh?!"

The immortal god took a deep look at Li Qi, and then with a slight move of his hand, the tower door opened.

"Okay, you can go in."

"Thank you. I'll meet you for a drink when I have time."

Lu smiled, then turned back to Li Qi and said, "Your Highness, let's go in."

"Um."

Li Qi nodded and followed Lu into the tower.

As the two people entered, the tower door slammed shut, and the passage became dark.

"Keep quiet for a moment. We are at an important place for our mercenary alliance in the universe."

Lu Chuanyin told him, "Be more respectful when you see His Holiness later. He is a being on the same level as the Lord of the Universe."

"Of course I know this..."

Li Qi knew that he was being underestimated, but he had to nod his head and said, "I understand."

The two walked out of the dark passage amid the sound transmission and came to the bright interior of the tower.

As soon as he saw it, he saw a huge throne, covering everything in the tower.

Lu Chuanyin said: "Lower your head and follow me later."

Hearing this, Li Qi lowered his head slightly and followed Lu silently.

Lu came to the front of the throne, and then respectfully faced the man sitting on the throne and said respectfully: "Lu pays homage to His Holiness!"

Li Qi also said respectfully: "Meet the venerable sir."

"What's up."

A very majestic voice sounded.

Lu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this His Highness holds a sacred object of our clan, and I specially brought him here to pay my respects."

"Oh... holy object?!"

When he heard that there was a holy object, the authoritative voice was obviously interested, "Take it out and have a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Qi responded respectfully, and then held up the emerald leaves in his hands.

"It turned out to be a whole leaf."

Seeing the emerald leaves, the powerful voice was obviously disappointed.

But the voice still explained: "According to the regulations, you can choose to return or keep this sacred object. If you choose to keep it, you will not receive any reward."

"But if you choose to return it, you will be qualified to understand the sacred tree statue."

"Sacred tree statue?!"

Li Qi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Is this why Brother Seventh asked me to come? What does this sacred tree statue have to do with the "Sacred Tree Chaos Monument"?"

"What's your choice?" the extremely coercive voice asked.

"My choice?"

Li Qi thought: "To me, the emerald leaves have more commemorative meaning than practical use. The most they can do is send them back to the family so that future generations can understand the original laws of wood."

"Rather than sending it home, it would be better to exchange it for enlightenment with the so-called sacred tree statue!"

In a very short period of time, Li Qi made his decision, "I choose to return the sacred object."

"Smart choice."

The extremely coercive voice had a hint of appreciation, and then asked: "What is your name, and which force do you come from?"

"My name is Li Qi, from Virtual Universe Company." Li Qi replied respectfully.

"Li Qi!"

The extremely coercive voice was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at the thirteen-meter-tall young man in front of him and said, "Raise your head."

"Yes."

Li Qi looked up and saw a square-faced man wearing silver armor, who could distort the surrounding space, sitting on the huge throne.

"I am Venerable Wansen!"

The square-faced man said in a very coercive voice: "Li Qi, I know you, a genius who appears once in millions of eras in the Virtual Universe Company."

"What!"

The immortal god 'Lu' on the side was stunned after hearing what Venerable Wansen said, "He is Li Qi from the Virtual Universe Company! Li Qi who worships under a greater existence than the Lord of the Universe!"

"Your Excellency is too kind." Li Qi said modestly.

"He who chooses to comprehend the "Chaos Monument of the Divine Tree", possesses the sacred object of the Tas tribe, and can come to the Tas world, is really a lucky little guy."

Venerable Wansen thought to himself: "Yes, if he didn't have enough talent and opportunity, how could he be accepted as a disciple by the great Lord of the Universe now."

When the Lord of the Universe accepts disciples, the disciples will generally show enough talent.

The period when one can best display his talent is naturally the realm master, followed by the domain master, and finally the universe level!

All those who can be accepted as disciples by the universe master at the universe level are definitely amazing demon-level geniuses.

It will not be surprising if the evaluation rises to tens of millions of eras or hundreds of millions of eras in the future.

"According to the rules set by my Universe Mercenary Alliance, you can return the sacred object of the Tas tribe after obtaining it, and you can comprehend the sacred tree statue once a year, each time for seven days, and comprehend it a maximum of one hundred times in this era."

Venerable Wansen said: "In addition to this era, you can come here to comprehend the sacred tree statue once every era in the future, and this reward will last for ten thousand eras."

"You can comprehend it a hundred times in this era, each time for seven days... and you can comprehend it once in each era in the next ten thousand eras."

Li Qi said secretly: "This compensation looks very good, but I haven't seen the so-called sacred tree statue yet, and I don't know how to comprehend it. How was the harvest..."

"Hmm."

Venerable Wansen pondered, "You should come to the Tas world to carry out the training mission, right?"

Li Qi nodded, "Yes, Venerable."

"Since you are here to carry out the training mission, I can also give you an extra reward."

Venerable Wansen said, "Normally, people who come to the Tas world to carry out the training mission need to be recommended by other cities in the Tas world before they can enter here."

"And getting the recommendation means getting three opportunities for enlightenment."

Venerable Wansen said, "I will give you these three opportunities for enlightenment."

"Thank you, Venerable." Li Qi thanked him.

"Hmm."

Venerable Wansen nodded gently and said, "Maybe you are a little confused, what is this sacred tree statue? Why is the opportunity to comprehend so precious."

Li Qi nodded, he had this doubt.

"Want to know what the sacred tree statue is?"

Venerable Wansen said, "You will know when you look back."

Hearing this, Li Qi looked back, his pupils enlarged a little, and he was even more shocked!
