Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

In the initial universe, within the ancient and vast city of Chaos City, chaotic air currents drifted and permeated. The scene remained largely unchanged, as it always had been.

Countless ascetic practitioners sat quietly cross-legged on the grand platform, occasionally raising their heads to gaze at the sky, comprehending the crystalline law patterns flowing within the numerous large cracks.

At times, they furrowed their brows in thought.

In Chaos City of the initial universe, few people wasted time on meaningless pursuits; each one was engrossed in diligent cultivation.

Yang Wu was no exception!

He sat cross-legged on the platform, raising his head to comprehend the law patterns in the sky, even as he devoted most of his consciousness to the Destruction Beast clone.

The remaining consciousness of his human form was still sufficient to comprehend these law patterns at an adequate processing speed.

Rarely are things perfectly balanced in this world; if he wanted to rely on his clone to reorganize and simulate using the time difference between the initial universe and the original universe, as well as the 10x time acceleration within the Time Palace.

How could he not pay some price?

The speed at which he comprehended the law of space plummeted, but this was merely a tiny price that Yang Wu could bear.

"Master, you have mail!"

Suddenly, Hong Ling's surprised voice echoed in Yang Wu's mind.

"It's from the City Lord of Chaos City!!!"

On the platform, Yang Wu opened his eyes. Acknowledged lifeforms communicated directly with their master's consciousness, and could switch between Yang Wu's two bodies, Yu Xiang Mountain, and the primal region.

Yang Wu sat at his desk, with Hong Ling, the size of a fist, perched on his shoulder. Both were staring at a screen, which displayed a very brief message.

"City Lord's Mansion, come quickly!"

The entire message was only five words long, six including punctuation, and signed by the City Lord of Chaos City in the lower right corner.

"Ahhh, Master, the City Lord of Chaos City wants you to go over! Could it be that he wants to accept you as a disciple?"

Yang Wu felt nothing in particular, only calm and tranquility, while Hong Ling was extremely excited, jumping up and down on Yang Wu's shoulder.

The City Lord of Chaos City!

That was the great Universe Lord, the controller of the entire Virtual Universe Company.

If her master were to be accepted as a disciple by such an existence, one could imagine how smooth his future path would be. As for whether he was qualified enough.

Hong Ling's affirmation was unwavering. If her master's talent wasn't qualified, then no one in the entire original universe would be.

She had absolute confidence in her master.

"Accept a disciple?"

Yang Wu shook his head. If he wanted to accept a disciple, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? Summoning him now must mean he's preparing to get straight to the point?

He turned off the screen.

Exiting the virtual universe, Yang Wu stood up and walked towards the distant City Lord's Mansion.

The wide streets were lined with rows of similar small buildings, and on the platforms, people of various appearances sat cross-legged, comprehending the laws.

Yang Wu walked along the street, the towering and majestic City Lord's Mansion already within sight.

City Lord of Chaos City.

He had a good impression of this person, the controller of the Virtual Universe Company.

In the original story, after Earth was exposed, the Virtual Universe Company was able to discuss the ownership of Earth with Luo Feng on relatively equal terms, which was due to his orders.

If it were any other Universe Lord.

A mere domain lord would not be worthy of their condescension and equal treatment. Such a special treasure as Earth.

They would directly issue an order to forcibly seize it.

Strong talent?

Sorry, geniuses with only talent but who have not yet grown up are insignificant. The aloof Universe Lords do not care at all, and at most will give some compensation afterward.

And this.

Is only the case for those who are reasonable.

If it were someone like Emperor Yan, it would be good if they didn't slap you to death. If you didn't die, you should burn incense. Why bother reasoning with someone who can speak with their fists.

City Lord's Mansion.

The gates of the mansion were always wide open, and cultivators occasionally entered to comprehend the Chaos碑.

Yang Wu entered the City Lord's Mansion with practiced ease, but previously he had only gone to comprehend the Chaos碑, while this time he was going to pay his respects to the City Lord of Chaos City.

Passing through the outer mansion area, Yang Wu went straight to the most heavily guarded "inner mansion" of the City Lord's Mansion.

The outer mansion gate was always open, but the inner mansion had strict guards, and these guards were all undying gods.

"Your Highness Yang Wu, the City Lord gave orders in advance that you may enter upon arrival. Venerable Gui Yi is waiting in the inner mansion."

As soon as Yang Wu approached, one of the dignified golden-armored undying gods stepped forward, and the guards behind him opened a passage.

No wonder they are so polite!

It turned out that they had been notified in advance. Without any dog-blood incidents, Yang Wu passed through the undying god guards and went straight into the inner mansion.

And in place, the group of undying guards watched him leave, and they all transmitted voices to discuss.

Inner Mansion.

Along the wide corridor, Yang Wu quickly arrived at a plaza paved with chaotic rocks.

In the distance, stood a bald man wearing a fiery red battle robe, with a faint smile on his face, appearing very peaceful.

Seeing this bald man, Yang Wu could not help but feel peaceful, vaguely feeling as if his whole person had merged into the vast and tranquil universe starry sky.

Everything around him seemed to disappear, leaving only the bald man standing there.

"Hmm?"

Yang Wu was slightly distracted, and then immediately woke up, the vision immediately disappeared, and the surrounding immediately returned to normal.

Universe Overlord!

Venerable Gui Yi possessed the strength of a Universe Overlord, and the influence of his will and consciousness alone could make Yang Wu unknowingly sink into it.

The gap was too large.

"By my teacher's order, I have come to receive you."

Seeing Yang Wu wake up, Venerable Gui Yi said with a smile, his smile possessing the power to infect the soul.

"Greetings, Venerable Gui Yi."

Yang Wu stepped forward and respectfully saluted.

Venerable Gui Yi smiled and said: "You don't need to be so polite, come with me, the teacher has been waiting for you for a long time."

After saying that, Venerable Gui Yi turned around to lead the way, and Yang Wu immediately followed behind.

"My will is only a trace away from breaking through to the Universe Venerable, but the gap between me and the Universe Overlord is so great!"

"Just the unintentional fluctuations emitted by the other party can make me deeply affected."

Yang Wu followed behind Venerable Gui Yi, thinking of the scene just now, he could not help but think to himself, but what he did not know was.

Venerable Gui Yi, who was leading the way, was also secretly shocked as he walked in the inner mansion of the City Lord's Mansion.

He had learned about Yang Wu's deeds.

Leaving aside the others, what shocked him the most about Yang Wu now was his will and consciousness, which were completely unmatched by his own strength.

Just now, although he had only made a small test, he did not expect that as soon as he affected Yang Wu, the other party would wake up instantly.

The will and consciousness of a king?

No, it must be more than that. Venerable Gui Yi shook his head secretly. Anyway, he did not have such a strong will and consciousness when he first became a king. He could only say that this was indeed a genius that the teacher valued.

Sure enough, he had extraordinary qualities. After a while.

The two came to a quiet courtyard, outside the courtyard stood a stone tablet, on which were engraved three large characters.

Chaos Ruins!

The City Lord of Chaos City was mighty in the original universe. He had three great incarnations, one stayed in the original universe, sitting in the Virtual Universe Company, one sat in the initial universe, unparalleled.

The one left in Chaos City.

Happened to be the incarnation in charge of killing.

"Let's go, the teacher is inside." Venerable Gui Yi said, taking a step inside first.

Yang Wu followed closely behind, also taking a step inside.
