Swallowed Star Chapter 1484 - The End of Original Universe

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Time flowed onward. Peace had reigned, and over six trillion eras slipped away in silence.

Within Luo Feng’s miniature universe stretched a brilliant blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. Aerial beasts soared while ground creatures roamed abundantly. Majestic hills undulated across the land, with streams tumbling from their crests. A man clad in a white cape perched atop a mountain—it was Luo Feng. Beside him loomed a towering yet plain guard.

“Huh?” The guard gazed afar. A youth was warping space to approach from billions of kilometers distant.

Hua!

The silver-haired youth materialized on the mountainside. He then trod upon the void and ascended to the summit. The silver-haired youth declared, “Father God!”

“Xi Mo, what’s been going on lately?” Luo Feng gazed fondly at the silver-haired youth.

Xi Mo stood out exceptionally. Luo Feng cherished him nearly as deeply as his own child. As one of the earliest beings Luo Feng birthed, Xi Mo counted as his son in truth!

Luo Feng had birthed numerous races, merging them with Remote Ocean. Over ten billion eras post the Sector Beasts crisis, the inaugural true god emerged from the Remote Ocean lineage—none other than Xi Mo!

Nine major factions existed among humanity, each boasting plentiful true gods. The mightiest trio consisted of the virtual universe company, the Huge Axe Dojo, and Milky Way Kingdom.

Milky Way Kingdom revolved around earthlings, the Remote Ocean lineage, and countless other mighty entities who pledged allegiance. Luo Feng served as the kingdom’s ultimate sovereign on paper. Yet beneath the surface, Xi Mo truly commanded Milky Way Kingdom.

For Luo Feng, his sway enveloped the entire human race, rendering separate factions unnecessary. Xi Mo had once remarked, “Father God, the earthlings and Remote Ocean line lack sufficient voice in humanity’s senior gatherings.” Thus, with Luo Feng’s approval, Milky Way Kingdom came into being.

Luo Feng recognized that Sitting Mountain Guest had crafted the earthlings, from whom countless prodigies arose. They were fated to rise as a dominant force.

The Remote Ocean lineage stemmed from Luo Feng’s experiments in refining life gene structures to perfection. Every member possessed unique strengths and immense potential. Though formidable, both lineages wielded scant influence, leaving many powerhouses dissatisfied.

Yet Luo Feng’s allies among true gods numbered only himself, Hong, and Fire Dome. Luo Feng remained too exalted and distant, Hong too aloof from politics, while Fire Dome, neither earthling nor Remote Ocean kin, lacked the clout.

Once Xi Mo ascended to true godhood, hordes of universe masters rallied to him as their chief. Affairs progressed seamlessly. In Luo Feng’s name, they founded Milky Way Kingdom to secure substantial influence, elevating their standing within humanity.

Struggle proved essential. Humanity had grown overwhelmingly mighty. Across six trillion eras, 98 true gods and 1,222 universe masters now graced their ranks! Clashes erupted over resources and dominance.

“Father God,” Xi Mo stated deferentially. “Yet another has advanced to universe master in Milky Way Kingdom.”

Luo Feng nodded indifferently. A new universe master held little weight for him.

“Brother Na Ke advances at a startling pace,” Xi Mo continued. “Given sufficient time, he’ll surely reach universe master.”

“Na Ke?”

Na Ke had shone as the top youth in Blood River World during Luo Feng’s weaker days. Though now a pinnacle figure in humanity, Luo Feng still monitored Blood River World’s progress—especially Na Ke’s rise. He’d aided him covertly thrice, unbeknownst to Na Ke.

To Luo Feng, Na Ke warranted guidance only if he could claim emperor status independently; otherwise, he offered no worth.

Despite those three hidden assists, Na Ke forged his path alone amid trials. After billions of years, he at last became an emperor. Upon that breakthrough, Luo Feng descended in person to Blood River World and took him as disciple! Luo Feng offered occasional counsel, but Xi Mo handled the bulk.

“Though Na Ke has hit the pinnacle of universe knights,” Xi Mo shook his head, “this cosmic era may not grant him time to become a universe master.”

“Huh?” Luo Feng’s brow furrowed. “The moment has come?”

“Per your command, I’ve vigilantly watched the original universe,” Xi Mo replied respectfully. “Current events signal its terminal phase. Destruction looms imminent.”

“Everything?” Luo Feng eyed Xi Mo.

Xi Mo nodded. “Across myriad star domains, countless stars perish! A single star’s demise is commonplace, yet never on this vast scale. Moreover, prodigy birth rates plummet.” Xi Mo detailed each sign.

“At last, destruction approaches!” Luo Feng leaped to his feet abruptly.

He had anticipated this endlessly. Battling Sector Beasts had elevated him to top-tier true god of void space! He’d already forged pinnacle grade-12 techniques.

Through six trillion eras, dialogues with Morosa abounded, as it revealed destruction origin continuously for his study. Luo Feng progressed substantially. Still, Morosa outshone him, attaining void space limit true god level! Morosa’s meteoric rise stirred Luo Feng’s envy. From void space true god strength at growth’s onset, it now embodied eternal true god might after six trillion eras.

“Master,” the nearby guard uttered excitedly.

Luo Feng glanced at the guard. It was Morosa.

“I’ve awaited this instant forever.” Luo Feng grinned.

“Father God?” Xi Mo blinked in confusion.

He remained unaware that the original mind had vowed Luo Feng comprehension of the original universe’s demise—a paramount boon.

“First, I must visit somewhere.” Luo Feng peered into the cosmos. “No need to accompany me.”

Sou!

Luo Feng stepped forward and vanished. Xi Mo and the guard exchanged glances.

******

In a barren, lifeless starfield unfit for genesis, Luo Feng materialized.

“So long has passed,” Luo Feng murmured softly.

Once a lost Earth youth venturing into the cosmos, now... Sitting Mountain Guest’s guidance had propelled him to these heights.

“What task does Teacher Sitting Mountain Guest hold for me?” Luo Feng pondered aloud. “I expected Teacher to seek me post-Sector Beasts crisis, yet he didn’t. Unhurried, I waited patiently, but Teacher never summoned.”

Luo Feng brushed spacetime, detecting fading undulations. Upon reentering the original universe, he knew its finale neared. Annihilation followed shortly.

Post-destruction comprehension... no more power restraint. He’d surge to void space true god, then pursue incarnation transcendence!

Yet Sitting Mountain Guest offered no directives or desires. Luo Feng stood ready to hazard all for him.

Hua!

Luo Feng traversed spacetime to a palace gateway. A grand fountain fronted it, fish darting in its pool. An elder lingered pondside, contemplating serenely.

Sitting Mountain Guest eyed the waters. “You’ve arrived.”

“Yes, Teacher, I’m here.” Luo Feng approached.

Sitting Mountain Guest smiled, appraising him. “I pondered which of us possessed superior endurance. Evidently, mine prevails.”

Luo Feng smiled back. Patience played no role.

Sitting Mountain Guest had invested profoundly in him, bestowing treasures like Star Tower. He’d even yielded his miniature universe to shield Luo Feng’s during the Sector Beasts onslaught. Such acts bespoke immense regard. How could Teacher deem it mere patience—like a game?

“Teacher,” Luo Feng urged. “The original universe’s era nears closure. Once I grasp its full destruction, I’ll unleash my power, breakthrough, and transcend incarnation. If any deed you require, speak now.”

“Hahaha…!” Sitting Mountain Guest chuckled. “No haste required.”

“Still no urgency?” Luo Feng stared.

Sitting Mountain Guest flipped his palm, manifesting a golden crystal. He contemplated it long before handing it over.

“What’s this, Teacher?” Luo Feng examined the golden crystal. It seemed unremarkable.

“Accept it,” Sitting Mountain Guest instructed. “A virtual consciousness resides within.”

“Virtual consciousness?” Luo Feng puzzled.

The final Duan Dong River inheritor had perished yet left a virtual consciousness for successor selection. Jin’s Godly King did likewise pre-death. Such entities held full memories sans battle prowess—mere intelligent constructs brimming with recollections.

“It’s my own virtual consciousness,” Sitting Mountain Guest revealed. “I’ve mentioned matters I cannot voice... supreme laws forbid it.”

Luo Feng stood stunned.

“During incarnation transcendence...” Sitting Mountain Guest grinned. “Unbound by supreme laws then, my virtual consciousness shall reveal all. Produce the golden crystal amid transcendence; it’ll manifest and divulge everything.”

Luo Feng nodded, musing what Sitting Mountain Guest intended. No surprise at Teacher’s calm; revelation awaited only transcendence.

“Depart,” Sitting Mountain Guest urged. “Ready yourself. The original universe stands as the grandest, most expansive cosmos. Its demise harbors boundless enigmas, yielding unimaginable gains. Study it diligently! Thereafter, embrace incarnation transcendence. Fear not—it’s no snare, but fortune.”

Luo Feng paused in awe. He bowed deeply in thanks, then departed.
