Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 174

The White-Haired Venerable submitted the list online and then waited quietly for a response.

"I wonder which cosmic lord will be taking this order?"

The white-haired Venerable thought to himself idly, after all, it involved the Lord of the Universe, and he didn't know when he would arrive.

Among the demon race, there are two main types of resurrection for those who have been granted the title of King. One type is a large-scale, timed collective resurrection, which is mainly for all the deceased and immortal kings of the entire demon race and its allies who are worthy of resurrection. Even some cosmic venerables will be resurrected at that time.

The second type is small-batch resurrection when the required quantity is met, which is mainly aimed at battlefields outside the domain.

Firstly, it's an implicit reward for those willing to participate in the extraterritorial battlefield and become kings.

Secondly, whether it's the grand battle that occurs once every thousand epochs in the outer battlefields or in ordinary times, the mortality rate of the kings is far higher than in other places, with a large number of deaths.

Although resurrecting immortal gods causes relatively little damage to the lords of the universe, the backlash can still be severe if too many are resurrected at once.

Therefore, once the required number is reached, these kings will be collectively resurrected, and the backlash from the universe's operation will be much smaller.

"So fast!"

Not long after, the White-Haired Venerable received the message and immediately teleported to the outside of the demon race's extraterritorial battlefield base.

hum...

Soon, a strange bird with gray bones appeared beside the White-haired Venerable.

"Greetings, Lord Monwan!"

The White-Haired Venerable immediately bowed his head and handed over the prepared resurrection information to Lord Mengwan.

"Ok!"

Lord Mengwan looked at the portraits of the kings in the documents and nodded slightly. He happened to have some free time at the moment, so he took the job to resurrect these kings.

Resurrection in the outer battlefield is a bit easier, since almost everyone has been to the barracks base, and a single time reversal can find everyone on the list.

"You should retreat first. I am about to cast a time reversal spell. Stay out of my range," said the Lord of Mengwan.

"Yes."

The white-haired venerable one's eyes lit up, and he transformed into a streak of light and flew to a distant place, while also looking over expectantly.

As a cosmic venerable, the greatest goal is naturally to become the master of the universe. Many venerables hope to witness more of the most crucial aspect of becoming the master of the universe—the reversal of time—so that it may resonate with them.

However, many cosmic rulers do not allow anyone to watch when they perform time reversal.

The main problem is that reversing time and space causes such a huge disturbance that even the Lord of the Universe could be injured as a result.

If he is seriously injured as a result, it will be a rare opportunity for the enemy to kill the Lord of the Universe.

Fortunately, merely resurrecting a group of immortal gods did not have a significant impact on the Lord of the Universe. Therefore, the Lord of Mengwan did not intend to drive away the White-Haired Venerable, which can be considered a small benefit.

"reverse!"

After the White-Haired Venerable departed, the Lord of Mengwan instantly unleashed the Reversal of Time and Space, causing the surrounding environment to reverse.

This environment is outside the military base, so all the kings who come to the outer battlefield will pass through here, stop here, or leave here.

Amidst the countless flickering images, Lord Mengwan easily captured the figures of all the kings on the resurrection list.

"Resurrect..."

"Lord Mengwan said softly," and at this moment, a difference appeared between him and the prince of the Divine Heart Clan.

Lord Mengwan unleashed a power certified by the workings of the primordial universe, plunging into spacetime and enveloping everyone on the list.

"Back!"

Boom~~

The surrounding spacetime, which had been reversed to this moment, quickly began to return. It was like a rubber band constantly spinning; after spinning to a certain point, it would automatically reverse and spin back!

"Ah ah ah..."

Intervening in the river of time and space will also have a backlash effect on the resurrected, causing a large number of them to scream in agony.

Immortal gods are naturally no match for this backlash of time and space, so all the real damage is borne by the Lord of the Universe, and the resurrected ones are just a transit point.

The primordial universe merely granted the Lord of the Universe the ability to reverse time and space, but the backlash must be borne by Himself.

Lord Mengwan calmly watched this scene, resisting the cosmic backlash with his body.

It must be said that the universe's ability to reverse time and space is mainly due to the authority granted by the original universe, so it only needs to bear a fixed cost.

Just like resurrecting someone from a hundred billion years ago versus resurrecting someone from a day ago, as long as the strength is the same, the cost is the same, and there is no need to bear any extra expenses.

Time around them was reversing, but only the Lord of Monwan and the kings he protected remained independent of time.

A moment later, time returned to the present, and a group of kings soon appeared around.

"All right!"

Lord Mengwan looked at the resurrected kings, then his figure gently merged into the void and disappeared.

"I, this is..."

The Blood Wolf King, several kilometers tall, was somewhat dazed. Then, his memories of his dying moments slowly returned, and he understood his condition.

"Battle King!"

Upon realizing he had been resurrected, the Blood Wolf King's eyes instantly brightened, filled with madness and killing intent.

"Little ones, you are very lucky. This time, it was our demon race's Universe Lord who personally reversed time and space to revive you," the white-haired Venerable said coldly. His aura as a Universe Venerable instantly snapped the somewhat stunned Kings out of their daze.

"Thank you, demon race, thank you, Venerable One..."

Upon hearing this, the newly resurrected kings hurriedly expressed their respect. As kings, they were naturally not qualified to know who the universe lord had just spoken of was, so they could only express their gratitude to the entire demon race.

Upon discovering their resurrection, some of the demon kings felt incredibly fortunate, while the kings of the other alien alliances felt a mixture of relief and helplessness.

For non-demon race members, accumulating enough merit for resurrection is extremely difficult and requires a long period of time.

If it's someone from their own clan, things are slightly better; even if their achievements aren't enough, they'll be resurrected if their strength or status is high enough.

However, it will also take a long time for them to fight for their tribe or compete for treasures.

After all, these kings could not afford to pay the price for the injuries suffered by the lords of the universe, so they could only use their time to work for the entire race.

However, no matter how great the cost, it cannot compare to having a second life, because there is hope as long as you are alive.

"Resurrection comes at a price, so you'd better watch yourselves!" Venerable Bai Mao said leisurely, before he too teleported away and disappeared.

As for these people who have been granted titles, just give them a heads-up; it's not like he's the one who resurrected them, so it doesn't really concern him.

"Damn it!"

"I want revenge..."

After the White-Haired Venerable left, the numerous kings immediately erupted in a cacophony of curses, like a marketplace.

"Battle King!"

The resurrected Blood Wolf King hated Lu Yunhe to the core. As a member of the Heavenly Wolf Clan and a high-ranking king, he had the opportunity to be resurrected even without accumulating enough battle merits.

However, for a long time to come, he would have to work for the tribe for free, making it difficult for him to spend resources to improve himself.

Moreover, this resurrection only resurrected themselves; their equipment and resources were not resurrected along with them.

After all, retrieving things from spacetime comes at a price, and the lords of the universe would not go to such lengths. Their willingness to resurrect people is already based on considerations of their race.

The thought of being wiped clean and having his plant life, which had been with him for countless years, die completely filled the Blood Wolf King with hatred for Lu Yunhe.

Unfortunately, the opponent is at the limit of the King-level, and even the Blood Wolf King, who was in good condition before, was no match for him, let alone in his current miserable state.

"Alas, Devouring King, I never expected you to be resurrected too!"

Amidst the crowd, Burst King, who had reached the pinnacle of his power, couldn't help but talk to Devourer King, who had also been resurrected beside him.

This adventure, which felt like it was on easy mode, ended up with heavy losses and I didn't get anything good.

"Same here, I wonder who ended up taking that treasure." Devouring King said bitterly.

The only saving grace is that they can be resurrected. Although they lost all their equipment and resources, their divine bodies were resurrected to a 100% degree.

"And that King Limitless one who disguised himself as a high-ranking King..."

"Exploding King and Devouring King, how come they're both dead too?"

The Blood Wolf King, standing to the side, was somewhat curious. Weren't they supposed to be tracking the natives? How come they were all dead?

However, upon hearing their conversation, the Blood Wolf King couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart and quickly moved closer.

……

A few happy and a few sad!

Lu Yunhe, who had slipped away from the underground city, flew through the spatial turbulence for a while before returning to the primordial universe. He then activated the Divine Kingdom Teleportation System and directly entered the Divine Kingdom of the Divine Tree Avatar.

"Get rich!"

Lu Yunhe landed in the divine kingdom, then deactivated the divine tree mode and released the divine tree clone.

The massive divine tree avatar, spanning millions of kilometers, stretched out its body, slowly recovering its divine form damaged by the burning of divine power within the divine kingdom.

This dungeon adventure was incredibly brutal, and the Divine Tree clone also suffered significant damage, requiring some time to recover.

In contrast, Lu Yunhe's main body, which was at the World Lord level, suffered no losses whatsoever.

Not only did they not suffer any losses, they actually made a huge profit, a real windfall.

"A total of 155 storage items!"

Lu Yunhe poured out his spoils from the Stone Wing, including 152 storage items from the King-level and two from the King-level Limit.

Then there's another item, which is the storage item of that prince of the Divine Heart Clan.

These stored items were all rescued by Lu Yunhe from the explosion at great personal risk, so that they wouldn't all be damaged and wasted in the blast.

"Dracion!"

Lu Yunhe called out to the intelligent system, and then used the power of the world to directly integrate into these storage items.

Because the original owners were all dead, these stored items became ownerless and did not hinder his investigation at all.

Wow…

Lu Yunhe used the power of the world to release all the items from these 155 storage items.

Suddenly, Lu Yunhe's eyes were filled with all kinds of spaceships, weapons, resources and other items.
