Star Odyssey

Chapter 2870: Transforming The Universe

Lu Yin had originally believed that 30 trillion star essence would be enough for him to use rather freely, but it appeared that his funds were still insufficient.

Once one reached a certain level, it was natural that the resources needed would also correspond to that level.

However, that did not particularly matter. Lu Yin was already trying to target peak powerhouses, and there were not very many in the entire Sixverse Association. Even more, there were fewer who he could potentially Possess.

He continued to roll his die.

Pilfer, Enhance, Gift Copy, Timestop. He spent nearly a near in his Timestop Space, and then waited ten days to resume rolling the die. For his next session, he rolled four pips three times in a row.

Lu Yin had already been in secluded training in his Timestop Space for nearly three years, and he expected that the system in his heart would finish its transformation during the fourth year.

He eagerly entered his Timestop Space for the fourth time.

…

From a human perspective, a universe was infinite, and each of the stars that filled it was massive. Each planet could be home to entire nations, as well as billions, or even tens of billions of people, as well as additional living creatures.

In the Origin Universe, there were races of giants, and the largest giant known had been Progenitor Chen. He had been large enough to play with planets like they were marbles. Was it possible that there were even larger creatures which could swallow stars or form galaxies just by breathing? A creature large enough to erase all normal humans with nothing more than a wave of a hand?

To ants, were humans the equivalent of giants?

For the tiny creatures that were parasites on human bodies, were humans giant creatures that could swallow stars?

In comparison to the tiny universe in his heart, Lu Yin was a massive huge creature.

At the moment, there were 380,000 stars rotating throughout the spacious universe in Lu Yin’s body, and among them were several strange stars.

One star had a gray color, like that of a dead, decaying tree. It was connected to the fatesand continent by what appeared to be a tornado.

There was a tri-colored star. It appeared to be devoid of life, but it was quite colorful. It was also connected to the fatesand continent, and three colors flowed towards the star.

There was a star that was a vibrant green that appeared to be the color of vegetation, and it was connected to the continent by what appeared to be a towering tree.

There was a star of water, and it was connected the fatesand continent by a river that flowed into outer space.

There was also a massive star that was connected to the stellular energy sea on that same continent. The connection between the two seemed to be raising the ocean into the sky.

Far away from the other stars was a dark red star. This star was dark and not brilliant, yet was somehow not dim, and it illuminated all of the other stars with a weak red light.

The entire expanse of stars was surrounded by a black and white mist, and beneath it was a continent of fatesand. If not for the continent and the expanse of stars, it would no longer be a universe.

As time passed, the gray tornado rose up from the continent, and merged entirely with the gray star. The star shook slightly, and then started to revolve, perfectly matching the movements of the other 380,000 stars, though the gray star’s appearance remained unique.

Right after that, the tri-colored flow of energy disappeared from the continent.

The large tree, the river through the sky, and the astral ocean all vanished, fully forming stars in the sky above the continent.

At this moment, Lu Yin’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and what he saw changed entirely. After a moment, he returned to the Cyclic Universe.

In that split second, earth-shaking changes took place within his body.

Lu Yin did not know what this change represented. All he knew was that the universe within him was a power that no one could see through, and it was a power that he felt was stronger than any of his inner worlds. Even without trying to use the contained universe, he could feel its power.

It did not matter how many different cultivation methods Lu Yin used, or how messy his cultivation became, as all of those various powers would merge into a single power within Lu Yin. Since his body was incapable of handling all of the powers that Lu Yin possessed, it had pushed them together and created a universe of infinite potential.

The moment that the transformation finished, Lu Yin could feel the power of his universe.

He took a deep breath, and then released the universe from within his body.

Crack

There was a soft sound, and a black crack appeared in front of Lu Yin. It was the Hollow.

His expression changed drastically, and he quickly drew back, but the Hollow followed him like a shadow. It formed a black sphere that surrounded his body. Outside that sphere was the Cyclic Universe, while inside the sphere was Lu Yin’s independent universe.

In Lu Yin’s universe, he was surrounded by 380,000 stars, which included the few strange stars. None of them were able to push beyond the black sphere that enveloped Lu Yin.

At this moment, Lu Yin’s universe and the Cyclic Universe were completely isolated from each other, divided by the Hollow where the void had been torn apart.

Lu Yin stared at his surroundings. Just by releasing his universe, he was isolated from the Cyclic Universe?

It felt as though two parallel universes were colliding, and the Hollow formed the crack between the two.

Lu Yin’s independent universe was not particularly large, but it fully surrounded his body. If seen from a distance, he appeared to be within a black sphere that moved about with him.

Lu Yin withdrew his power back into his heart, and the void returned to normal. He released the universe again, and just like before, the Hollow surrounded him in a sphere, isolating his universe from the Cyclic Universe.

After trying things several times, Lu Yin gradually understood what was happening.

In the past, his universe had been overlaid upon whatever universe he had been in, which had not fundamentally altered the universe. After being transformed, Lu Yin’s universe could no longer overlap with any other universe, and instead, a repulsion appeared. This indicated that he had truly created an independent universe.

If parallel universes were compared to people, then in the past, Lu Yin’s universe had been a mere child that could be picked up by adults and carried around by them. However, his universe had suddenly grown up and become considered an adult. Naturally, other adults would no longer pick it up and carry it around, and instead viewed Lu Yin’s universe as a peer.

It was only natural for two adults to maintain a bit of distance between each other.

Lu Yin was not entirely certain that his understanding of the situation was correct, but if it was, then his power was more than a bit scary.

After all, Progenitor’s worlds were essentially an independent universe created by a peak powerhouse, and they were capable of altering the real universe. However, as far as Lu Yin had experience, no matter how powerful a Progenitor’s world became, it would always superimpose itself on the real universe. It was possible that the Great Sovereign and others at her level were different, but Lu Yin had never seen the real power wielded by such individuals. Even so, what Lu Yin did know was enough to prove to him just how extraordinary his universe was. It appeared that he was able to, on some level, compare to the Great Sovereign, despite only being a mere Semi-Progenitor.

Lu Yin returned to the Heavens Sect. No matter his guesses, there was no proof to any of his suspicions, and he needed to confirm his theories with others, like Big Sis. She had lived during the Heavens Sect era and had seen the Three Realms and Six Da with her own eyes. She should have also felt their power, so her greater understanding of the different levels of power might be enough to determine more than Lu Yin could on his own.

Even so, Lu Yin was not optimistic. Mister Mu's knowledge and experience undoubtedly exceeded Big Sis’, and even Mister Mu had not been able to see the future of the universe in Lu Yin’s heart. It was doubtful that Big Sis would be able to tell Lu Yin anything.

At the moment, Big Sis was drinking with Leon’s Armada.

Despite regaining her old memories, Big Sis remained the same as ever. She was still Big Sis, bold and capable, standing up for her family. While she seemed to be impulsive, the truth was that she was as meticulous as could be.

Lu Yin’s arrival caused a burst of cheers from Leon’s Armada.

The new members were very wary. After all, in the Origin Universe, it was impossible for anyone who did not know Lu Yin to be calm when meeting Lu Yin, but the old members of Leon’s Armada were all at ease. They knew that Lu Yin was at home among them.

He was very happy to be able to visit Leon’s Armada. They and Big Sis would never forget him.

At the moment, Leon’s Armada was having a celebration, and the entire Cosmic Sea was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The following day, Lu Yin and Big Sis stood on an island.

"Rejected? Use it and let me see." Big Sis was very interested.

Lu Yin released the universe within his heart, and just the same as in the Cyclic Universe, Lu Yin’s independent Universe repelled the Origin Universe, and the Hollow appeared in a sphere around Lu Yin and his universe.

Big Sis went bug-eyed. "What the fuck? Is this for real?"

Lu Yin felt confused. "Big Sis, what's wrong?"

Big Sis stared at Lu Yin in shock. "Little Seven, have you reached the same level as the Three Realms and Six Dao?"

Lu Yin was left even more confused. "What do you mean?"

Big Sis stared at him as though seeing a monster. "Progenitors can be separated between normal Progenitors, Sequence Progenitors, and the most powerful, which are the Progenitors who can break the laws of the universe. You know about this, right?"

Lu Yin nodded. He heard mention of this from Ancestor Lu Yuan before, but had not paid much attention to the explanation. Progenitors were Progenitors, and no one categorized the different levels of Progenitors, and Ancestor Lu Yuan had said that the only reason to make such a distinction was to verify one’s own level.

"Big Sis, is that how you divide the different levels of Progenitors?"

"Yes, but this is also how most peak powerhouses understand the different levels of strength within our realm.

"You are familiar with the strength of ordinary Progenitors. Xia Shenji is an example of them, as he has not gained any sort of mastery of sequence particles. Above that level are Progenitors who have touched upon sequence particles. I am a Sequence Progenitor, and Shao Yin is at the same level as me. You can see that there can be a significant difference in strength within the same level, so this is only a very rough division.

"What’s important to mention are the Progenitors who can break the laws of the universe. The way you would understand this is that these are the Progenitors at the level of strength of the Three Realms and Six Dao."

Lu Yin stared at Big Sis as she continued in a solemn tone, "When we touch upon sequence particles, we use our own strength to find and mesh with the existing laws of the universe and learn to manipulate those laws. At the level of the Three Realms and Six Paths Dao, cultivators are no longer limited to searching for existing laws. If they don’t exist, they can find a way to force the laws into existence.”

"Creating laws?" Lu Yin was stunned.

Big Sis rolled her eyes. "Don't interrupt."

Lu Yin pursed his lips.

"Calling it creation is an exaggeration. Well, maybe. Maybe not. I don’t really understand that level, but in my opinion, the only one who is truly qualified to have the word ‘creation’ attributed to them is the Origin Progenitor himself. I feel that it’s unlikely that the Three Realms and Six Dao are able to create laws of the universe, but the laws that they control are ones that ordinary people can’t comprehend. My abyssal power and Shao Yin’s Extreme Yin are both dark laws, but just as there are too many stars in a universe and we only name a few of them, the same is true of the laws of the universe, and abyssal power and Extreme Yin are just two that have been named.

"However, it is difficult for you to find the laws that the Three Realms and Six Paths control anywhere in the current universe. For example, where would you find Destiny or death energy?"

Lu Yin nodded. It was true that neither of those powers really seemed to comply with the normal behavior of the universe.

"It’s not very likely that they create laws. I prefer to believe that they simply break existing laws in order to achieve what they desire. For example, they destroy a star and create a black hole in order to create the laws of a black hole, if they so desire, or melting and destroying a glacier in order to acquire water that’s needed."

Big Sis stared at Lu Yin. "Once such experts take action with their full power, because the laws that they wield are do not exist in the current universe, or they break some of the existing laws to get the laws that they desire, and the result is that the Hollow opens up around the laws that they wield, adding a black halo to their power.

"It looks very similar to what’s happening to you."
