Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Emperor Chu’s guess was not mistaken. News of Luo Feng becoming a Godly King was quickly confirmed, and the two biggest intelligence organizations, the Flame Wind Pavilion and Thunderclap Commerce, both verified this and sold the information to their clients.

Po Lu Mountain.

Inside a gigantic bath, a sanctified white scale-armored creature with a sinuous body was cultivating, with faint golden light spreading around it.

"Hmm?" The creature suddenly opened its eyes, its form shifted, transforming into the appearance of Po Lu Godly King, and he smiled, "As everyone expected, Luo He has indeed become a Godly King in such a short time."

"To reach such invincibility in the First Realm of Godly King without relying on external forces is truly terrifying," Po Lu Godly King said, quite envious.

Such extraordinary talent is well understood by the true powerhouses of the Land of Origin... they know its immense potential!

Even the two Ancient Countries place utmost importance on it. Like Godly King Jiayin in the Thunder Ancient Country, he is heavily utilized because the Imperial Clan of the Thunder Ancient Country, being cultivators of the Primordial Bloodline, are mostly not suitable for governing the nation.

In the Flame Wind Ancient Country, the threshold for cultivating the Primordial Bloodline is extremely high. Many are not qualified to cultivate it at the First Realm of Godly King, and about half at the Second Realm of Godly King... Thus, there are many Godly Kings who maintain absolute sober rationality, enough for them to manage the nation. Guest Elders as Godly Kings do not qualify to participate in the governance of the Ancient Country.

"I had my master’s guidance to switch to cultivating Primordial Bloodline to achieve invincibility in the First Realm of Godly King. Compared to Luo He, I’m far behind," Po Lu Godly King said, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, "Achieving a breakthrough in realm is too difficult."

"Even with my understanding of the rules contained within the Primordial Bloodline, I still cannot break through to the Second Realm of Godly King," Po Lu Godly King gently shook his head, then transformed back into his Primordial Bloodline True Body, and continued his devoted cultivation.

...

Thunder Ancient Country, Zuoshan City.

Mountain Sitting Guest, as the newly transcended of the Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm, was very low-key, wholly focused on understanding the Primordial Bloodline. He was not in a rush to become a Godly King; for him, achieving that status was something he could do anytime.

"Hu hu hu~~~" Mountain Sitting Guest sat cross-legged, flames rising from his body surface, yet his expression remained calm, without a ripple of disturbance.

His Spiritual Will was at the level of the Second Realm of Godly King, and his realm was also high enough, making it very easy for him to initially understand the Primordial Bloodline, maintaining absolute sober rationality.

In the Land of Origin, many idle Godly Kings who obtained the Primordial Bloodline received a rather ordinary type.

The Primordial Bloodlines that were qualified for reaching Emperor or Monarch levels were something the two Ancient Countries would never release. Those of the next tier required immense Merit Points to exchange.

Like the Monarch of Yu Kingdom and Master of the Shi Kingdom who were already at the Second Realm of Godly King! The Primordial Bloodlines they received were rather ordinary. They were all capable of maintaining absolute sober rationality. In contrast, cultivating top-tier bloodlines, although hopeful of reaching Emperor level, could easily lead to losing control.

There are gains and losses!

Idle Godly Kings, when cultivating Primordial Bloodlines, generally maintained rationality.

The Imperial Clans of the two Ancient Countries, by cultivating stronger Primordial Bloodlines, many experienced significant personality changes, and even some lost control!

"Hmm?" Mountain Sitting Guest suddenly received intelligence; he naturally had a long-term subscription for all intelligence regarding ’Luo He’.

"Luo Feng broke through?" Mountain Sitting Guest thought happily, "So quickly, he’s become a Godly King after just over a century in the Land of Origin."

Initially, he had entered the depths of Universe Ocean in utter despair.

Enslave a Sector Beast?

Train a disciple for revenge?

The hopes were very slim! But Mountain Sitting Guest was self-aware; staying in the Land of Origin, he would never be able to surpass the three rulers of the Shi Kingdom! He would never manage to kill any of them completely.

Later, when Luo Feng managed to master the Lie Yuan Technique, Mountain Sitting Guest became excited. After all, this was a tradition that had been passed down several times, yet countless geniuses of the Land of Origin could not master it. Luo Feng’s success... implied he had passed the ’Yuan’ test.

Subsequently, Luo Feng became a True God, with his Small Universe’s size unprecedented, making Mountain Sitting Guest realize this disciple surpassed any other Cultivator at the same level.

His confidence grew stronger and stronger!

"To reach such power without the aid of external forces," Mountain Sitting Guest thought, "Among the three rulers of the Shi Kingdom, only the Emperor of Tian Kun is stronger than Luo Feng."

Mountain Sitting Guest was immensely exhilarated.

With exhilaration, he felt his Spiritual Will and fighting spirit greatly intensified.

"Just wait a bit longer." Mountain Sitting Guest knew well that to completely kill the three rulers, he was still far off.

...

Royal Capital of Shi Kingdom, the Palace.

The Emperor of Tian Kun sat in the principal seat.

"Big brother," Wuxiang ancestor spoke, "After your last instructions, we carefully planned. The boundary lines of various Primal Chaos Prefectures are ready; we can invade Yu Kingdom at any moment. But we just got news that Luo He has become a Godly King."

Wuxiang ancestor was filled with hostility towards Luo Feng, ruining his biggest opportunity!

"He’s just become a Godly King, that’s all."

The Emperor of Tian Kun spoke indifferently, "It doesn’t affect the overall situation!"

"According to various estimates, after he became a Godly King, he should soon reach the invincible strength in the First Realm of Godly King," Godly King Ku Feng said, "We’re not afraid of him, but if he makes a move, we can’t stop him."

Wuxiang ancestor, Demon Blade Godly King, Liu Yu Godly King, and Ku Feng Godly King are all deeply experienced Godly Kings, but even the strongest, Wuxiang ancestor, is only at the limit of the First Realm of Godly King.

"This time, my friends and I decided together, if Luo He doesn’t intervene, so be it. But if he forcefully steps in, I will make him pay the price!" The Emperor of Tian Kun’s eyes shone with a cold light, "But remember, when we fully invade Yu Kingdom, avoid Huyang City! Also avoid the entire Primal Chaos Prefecture where Huyang City is located."

"I gave him face, yet he still took action! If a conflict arises, even the Imperial Clan of Flame Wind Ancient Country can’t blame me," said the Emperor of Tian Kun, unconcerned about Luo He. He was more interested in the thoughts of the Imperial Clan of Flame Wind Ancient Country.

"Yes, we will avoid that Primal Chaos Prefecture," the four Godly Kings realized.

The Emperor of Tian Kun nodded.

Following his will, the various Primal Chaos Prefectures along the border of Shi Kingdom began crossing the boundary line in full force, invading Yu Kingdom! Of course, they merely avoided the Jiu Jiang Primal Chaos Prefecture where Huyang City was located.

******

Huyang City.

"City Lord," Deputy City Lord Moli Meng and Moyu Hu came to meet Luo Feng together.

"What brings you here in such a hurry? What important matter has arisen?" Luo Feng, in a silver robe, sat drinking in a high tower of the city owner’s mansion.

Moli Meng immediately reported, "A matter of great urgency! Shi Kingdom has fully invaded Yu Kingdom. Many cities on the border have been attacked. Each city is resisting while also seeking reinforcement from the Royal Capital."

"Shi Kingdom is completely disregarding the rules this time," said Moyu Hu. "During the invasion, several of those in Primal Chaos Realm took action, clearly not afraid of escalating the war."

If one or two from the Primal Chaos Realm had acted, it could be considered a personal grievance.

When several from the Primal Chaos Realm take action, it clearly reflects the will of the whole Shi Kingdom.

"Our five Godly Kings of Yu Kingdom have yet to issue clear orders," Moli Meng said worriedly. "Without orders from the Godly Kings, all those in Primal Chaos Realm are somewhat hesitant and keep retreating, and many places have fallen."

"In times of war, one should attack when it’s time to attack and retreat when it’s time to retreat. Having no clear orders now... that’s the most troublesome," Moli Meng acknowledged the dire situation.

Luo Feng nodded and said, "The Monarch of Yu Country is currently embroiled in troubles and can’t return for the time being! Thus, the other four Godly Kings of Yu Kingdom also dare not take action; they must still be waiting for orders from the Monarch."

"The Monarch can’t return?" Moli Meng and Moyu Hu were shocked.

"A resolution will come soon," Luo Feng said. "The Monarch of Yu Country can’t delay for too long." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Shi Kingdom was intentionally pressing step by step.

If their real aim was to annihilate the kingdom, they would have directly had their Godly Kings attack the Royal Capital!

Without being able to kill the Monarch of Yu Country, Shi Kingdom dared not start a war of annihilation. They were pressing step by step, merely to force the ’Monarch of Yu Country’ to make a decision, whether to give up his True Body or not?

...

Yu Kingdom, Royal Capital.

"Monarch."

All four Godly Kings had already arrived, eagerly looking at the Monarch.

A towering figure covered in hair sat there, his gaze complex with unwillingness, anger, and helplessness.

"Monarch, although Shi Kingdom’s conquest isn’t rapid, it’s a full-scale invasion. To date, we’ve already lost thirty-two major cities, with seven Primal Chaos Prefectures completely overrun. Their army is still advancing," said a Black-Robed Figure with two curved horns. "They are pressuring you to make a decision, Monarch."

"Their relentless pressure is to force me to forsake my True Body and leave Tianhe," the Monarch of Yu Country was unwilling.

He was only a Divine Power Incarnation here; his True Body was powerful, Tianhe’s environment was more suitable for him, and he was formidable enough in competing for resources, thus provoking the Emperor of Tian Kun and several other powerhouses to gang up against him.

"Monarch, what should we do now?" all four Godly Kings looked at the Monarch.

Without the Monarch taking action, the four of them couldn’t possibly stand up to the Emperor of Tian Kun... they were also afraid of being forced to reincarnate.

The Monarch of Yu Country remained silent.

"In our kingdoms of Yu, there is currently an Overlord Level being. Although he can’t defeat the Emperor of Tian Kun, he also fears him not," suddenly a woman in green spoke softly. "Moreover, this Overlord Level being has reached this stage without relying on any external force! No power on the Land of Origin can ignore him, and he is also the Direct Disciple of the Emperor of Flame Wind Ancient Country."

"Monarch, if Luo He, the Godly King, joins Yu Kingdom fully, it would make a difference," the horned Black-Robed Figure also said, and the other two Godly Kings all looked hopeful.

Having another Overlord Level being, Yu Kingdom’s foundation would naturally be stronger.

"So strong without any external assistance, would he join a second-rate country?" the Monarch of Yu Country gently shook his head. "Alright, you all withdraw for now. I need to think this over."

The four Godly Kings looked at each other and could only withdraw.

In the silent great hall, only the figure of the Monarch of Yu Country remained.

If he were without concerns, he could comfortably hide within Tianhe. But he had his clan, his children, and many subordinates. Moreover, a vast kingdom and a stable output of resources were equally important to him.

"With Luo He’s potential, he could easily join one of the two Ancient Countries or those first-rate nations and occupy a high position. Join a second-rate nation? He could even establish a second-rate nation himself," the Monarch of Yu Country was also troubled.

If Luo Feng were to establish a nation, it might start with a small territory, but as his strength increased, the nation would naturally strengthen.

"Regardless of the outcome, let’s give it a try," the Monarch of Yu Country had no choice. Asking a friend to resist the Emperor of Tian Kun was occasionally feasible. But this large-scale war would continue for a long time.

Requesting someone who could match the Emperor of Tian Kun to garrison long-term would be too costly.

As for abandoning the True Body? The Monarch of Yu Country was even less willing to do that!

"Speaking of which, I and Luo He also have some connections," the Monarch of Yu Country thought for a moment, then immediately ordered to take his daughter ’Yushui Tianyu’ along with Black Butcher, Suo Zi, and several other servants, to personally visit Luo He, the Godly King, at Huyang City.
