Swallowed Star: Lord of the Wolf
Chapter 332: Seeking Development through Struggle!
Xu Yang felt the time and space changing before his eyes. The speed was much faster than his own travel. Every step he took covered an endless distance.
At this moment, he and Meng Cha were already on their way back to the demon clan’s territory.
Xu Yang always felt that his divine body was not small, but compared with Meng Cha’s divine body, it was just the earth next to the sun, very small.
It seems that unlike himself, who was an ordinary wild wolf and rose to power with the help of the system, Meng Cha was probably a special life form of huge size when he was born.
The divine body with perfect genes is more than 90,000 kilometers, but those special life forms that are naturally huge do not have this limitation… They can be millions of kilometers, tens of millions of kilometers, or even light years.
“Gu You, you really surprise me. Every time I see you, my understanding is refreshed.” Meng Cha turned her head, and her bright silver scales sparkled like gems, making the viewer almost involuntarily attracted to her.
“Ancestor Meng Yao, you are joking. I still cannot beat you.” Xu Yang was humble but also arrogant, which was completely different from his performance when his Dongshan clone met Zuoshanke.
“Hahaha, not bad, not bad, you have ambition.” Meng Cha was not offended by Xu Yang’s attitude. Which demon beast king didn’t have arrogance? In the demon clan, she was very tolerant of the fourth-level and above universe masters.
“If you want to catch up with me in strength, you still have to fight for a while. But…” Meng Cha put away the joking look in his eyes and said solemnly, “I don’t know how you killed the Lord of Qingdong, but if this is not a one-time method, I’m afraid that in the eyes of the human race, your deterrent power is greater than mine!”
Meng Cha is not a petty person. Although she did join hands with Zhen Jiao to drive away the ancestor of the monsters for the control of the monster clan, but judging from the management and development of the monster clan alone, she is much more competent than the ancestor of the monsters!
The original demon beast ancestor’s management of the demon race was completely free-range, otherwise he would not have failed to win over the star beasts… because he was even more indifferent than the old beast god! The star beast alliance under the old beast god’s management only let the star beasts below the immortal level run free, and did not care until they reached immortality.
As for the ancestor of the monsters, he only knew how to exploit the masters of the universe who joined the Monster Alliance. Moreover, he stayed in the sea of the universe all year round and could not be found when fighting with other tribes, but he would come out when dividing the benefits.
Otherwise, Meng Cha would not have made a private agreement with Zhen Jiao so early on that he would drive away the ancestor of the monster beast after breaking through to the true god level.
Xu Yang looked at Meng Cha with curiosity in his eyes, wanting to flex his muscles a little, and shook his head and said, “It’s not a one-time method. In the original universe, any universe master below the fifth level will die if he encounters it!” At the same time, he added to himself in his heart that if he didn’t have the peak soul treasure.
His voice was soft, his speech was slow, and he was extremely calm, but when he spoke these words, he was so domineering.
In an instant, Meng Cha’s eyes lit up with excitement.
“Okay, okay, okay. My demon clan is so lucky to have you, Gu You.” Meng Cha didn’t try to find out what the means were. She only knew that Gu You was the emperor of the demon clan!
“Since you have such means, calling me the Demon Ancestor again makes me seem a little ignorant. From now on, just call me Mengcha. You have the strength and qualifications to become the pillar of our demon race.”
Xu Yang raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect Meng Cha to be so open-minded. He didn’t have the habit of calling her by honorifics, so he immediately followed her lead.
“Then I’ll be disrespectful to refuse, Mengcha.”
“Hahaha, no problem, calling him by his first name makes us seem closer.”
Meng Cha’s tail swayed gently, and she was obviously in a very good mood. Gu You was really a lucky star. In recent times, she had been happy from the bottom of her heart more times than in the billions of years before!
The last time he was so happy was when he successfully drove away the ancestor of the monsters and seized power from the monster clan.
Wow~~~
Ripples appeared in the space, and Meng Cha brought Xu Yang directly out of the void, saying with a smile: “We have arrived at my territory.”
The tall spire, I saw it last time.
“Last time I said you would come to me after your clone was conceived and pick a treasure from me, but I didn’t expect you to run off to the human territory and make a scene. So this time I brought you directly to my treasure house to choose.” Meng Cha chuckled and joked, “I am the strongest person in the universe, but I still need to chase after you to give you treasures. You, this is really the first time in the history of the world.”
Xu Yang’s personality has always been soft-hearted, not to mention that Meng Cha was indeed chasing him to give him treasures, so he couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed: “This… it is true that I was a little negligent.”
Meng Cha smiled and shook her head. She was not angry. Some things are better to be said freely than to be kept to herself. So she smiled and swam in front to lead the way. “Let’s go. I’ll show you around.”
The two monsters, one in front and one behind, went directly to the top floor of the Dream Ancestor Tower from the suddenly appeared whirlpool.
His sight flashed bright, dark, and then bright again.
“here it is?”
Xu Yang and the other person appeared in a chaotic void with chaotic air currents floating around. In front of them, there was a huge, scorching star that looked like a fireball. Because the distance was close, the surroundings were illuminated with great brightness.
Xu Yang looked behind him and saw a huge space vortex, but this vortex was dissipating rapidly.
“Welcome to my world.”
Meng Cha flicked his tail lightly, and countless chaotic air currents gathered from all directions, transforming into a huge boundless black and white ship. He lightly jumped on it and said, “Let’s go, I’ll show you my universe.”
Xu Yang thought to himself that it was true. Just after he passed through the space channel and came to this void, he felt a feeling more depressing than the original universe and the cosmic sea, and the fluctuations of the laws were also slightly different.
In the original universe, no matter where you are, you can clearly sense the laws of gold, wood, water, etc. These laws are the pillars that make up the original universe, supporting a huge nest of life! There, as long as you have the ability, the origin of all laws is open to you for your understanding.
In this starry sky, although the origin of these laws can still be sensed, it is more obscure… It feels as if part of it is deliberately hidden. Compared with the original universe, it is more selfish and less majestic.
Now it seems that his perception was correct.
The original will of the universe is just ignorant. Under the constraints of the supreme rules, its main responsibility is to nurture generations of life and exert the origin of life to the fullest. This small universe is the “private territory” evolved from Mengcha’s realm breakthrough. In this territory, her heart is the heart of heaven. It is impossible for her to be as ignorant and majestic as the original will of the universe.
“Well, let’s go. This is my first time to come to a place outside the original universe.” Xu Yang jumped onto the ship, excluding Dongshan’s clone.
Meng Cha’s mind moved, and the ship set off. She said to Xu Yang, “Hahaha, I have been restraining you from going to the Universe Ocean before. The main reason is that I am worried that you have only recently reached the realm of the Lord of the Universe, and your potential has not yet been transformed into strength. You will suffer a loss if you enter the Universe Ocean.”
Lightning speed is not enough to describe the speed of this ship, but it allows Xu Yang to see clearly the scenes flying around him.
As he watched, Mengcha continued.
“Now, I’m not worried about you getting hurt. I’m worried that those guys in the Universe Sea will get hurt and turn against us.”
These words were 50% sincere and 50% joking. It was obvious that Meng Cha wanted to warn Xu Yang not to show off his strength. She saw that Xu Yang not only wanted to take revenge on the human race, but also on the Zerg and the mechanical race.
Xu Yang naturally heard the meaning clearly. He turned his gaze from the starry sky outside and looked at Meng Cha steadily, saying solemnly: “Meng Cha, I don’t agree with your point of view. Respect and awe are earned through strength. If you have strength but deliberately hide it, then what is the use of all this strength?”
Meng Cha was stunned and wanted to speak.
“Listen to me first.” Xu Yang rarely showed his strong side, slowly pacing on the deck, and said, “I know you want to say that we can’t make enemies everywhere, and we can’t push all the strong people to the opposite side. I don’t deny this, but I have always understood one truth from my journey from being weak to where I am now…”
“Struggle for peace!”
“Struggle for development!”
“We are not strong enough now, so we can’t destroy their race or force them into a dead end… but we can hurt them so much that even if they suffer a loss, they will have no choice but to swallow their anger.”
“Just like Yuan of the human race back then, he was able to rely on his strength to make the various races in the original universe and the universe sea retreat when facing the human race. Was it because he was hiding his weakness? No, it was iron-blooded! It was the fall of the strongest people in the alien universe, the masters of the universe, and the throne built with their corpses that pushed the human race to an unrivaled high position during that period of time!”
Listening to Xu Yang’s “sermon”, Meng Cha was a little dazed for a moment, as if she had traveled through a long time tunnel and returned to the green and passionate years. Ever since she stepped into the realm of the strongest in the universe, everyone around her was in awe and alienated. Among the monsters, there were only a few who could talk to her on an equal footing. Zhenjiao and the Lord of Changjiu were the only two of them. However, even they were always polite in their words. Who dared to teach her easily?
And now, this wolf demon in front of her, who had lived only as long as she had taken a nap, stood in front of her without any scruples, speaking sharply and directly to her heart. The tone of his preaching made her feel a little strange and yet familiar… She naturally understood these principles. As the top of the demon clan, how could she not understand these simple principles?
However, when she stared at Xu Yang’s confident, domineering and even overbearing face, she did not feel the slightest anger of being offended. Instead, she was surrounded by a distant memory –
In that memory, she was also like that, fearless, moving forward courageously, and daring to challenge all impossibilities. It was this courage and determination that allowed her to fight side by side with Zhenjiao, and together they expelled the ancestor of the monster beast, opening a new glorious chapter in the history of the monster clan.
However, as time passed, the fearlessness and carefreeness seemed to be quietly covered by the dust of the years and could no longer be found. At this moment, Xu Yang’s words were like a breeze, blowing away the fog in her heart, making her seem to see her younger self, and that innocence and passion quietly revived in her heart again.
There was a complex light flashing in Mengcha’s eyes, showing both nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future.
She understood that perhaps it was because after she broke through to become the strongest person in the universe, the experience of being at the bottom for a long time had worn away her spirit and she had not made any progress. This might be because of the timid mentality in her heart that was always looking ahead and behind.
Xu Yang’s words made her re-examine herself and also made her see the precious qualities of Xu Yang – the courage to speak out, the courage to pursue his true self, and the courage to challenge authority.
Mengcha’s eyes gradually softened, and a complex smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In that smile, there was both nostalgia for the past years and praise for Xu Yang’s pure and fearless spirit. She sighed softly, as if to let out some of the depression in her heart, and then slowly said:
“Gu You, you are right. Perhaps it has been so long since I last heard such a frank and passionate voice that I almost forgot that the road to becoming a strong person is never paved by forbearance and retreat. Your words reminded me of my youth. That reckless courage and determination are indeed the indispensable force that has enabled us to reach this point today.”
She paused, her eyes became deep, as if she was looking through layers of nebulae into the depths of the distant universe: “You are right. Respect and awe do need to be earned through strength. But what is more important is how to maintain a humble heart and distinguish right from wrong while being strong. Strength is the sword, and wisdom is the hand that holds the sword. Both are indispensable.”
“As long as you can keep your hand on this sword…”
“Then try your best. I will stand behind you… just like today in the human territory.”
For a moment, it seemed that even the stars in the surrounding sky became much brighter.
Next, Meng Cha took Xu Yang to tour this small universe of 100 million light years in size from inside to outside. Except for the most secret Heart of the True God, she introduced all the others to him.
“When you break through to become the strongest in the universe, your many clones will merge into one, and you will need to build a stable framework for your own small universe… just like you built the world inside your body when you broke through to become a realm master.”
“However, the importance and difficulty of constructing a small universe is more than a billion times higher than the world within the body. I have obtained some scattered ancient inheritances from the sea of universe, among which there are several good construction methods, and I use one of them.”
“I will give it to you when you need it.”
Perhaps because of Xu Yang’s generous and frank words before, he always felt that Meng Cha was much gentler towards him, and from time to time there was a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
“Thank you.”
Needless to say, how precious is the construction method of the True God’s small universe. Most of what can be called ancient heritage in the ocean of the universe have drifted over from the continent of origin.
Compared with the crude system in the universe ocean, the cultivation method on the Origin Continent is countless times more perfect!
After all, there, all creatures become true gods when they reach adulthood, and their numbers are terrifyingly large.
And what about the cosmic ocean?
Except for the Holy Land Universe, the true gods will be annihilated in three cosmic eras at most. In the same period, it is even questionable whether the number of true gods in the cosmic sea can exceed a hundred.
How can we compare with the origin continent with such a huge gap in numbers? (End of this chapter)
