Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

boom!

Like a balloon being squeezed, the demon lord stuck in the abyss rift was pushed back by a surging force, with only his extremely unwilling voice still echoing through the rift.

"Dissipate!"

After defeating the Abyss Lord, the person with the majestic voice did not leave immediately. Instead, he reached out and touched the Abyss Rift. The invisible and intangible dreamlike power, like needle and thread, continuously stitched up the rift.

The vast and boundless power of heaven and earth, under the deliberate guidance of the will to live, suddenly erupted with unimaginable strength, and following the guidance of the dreamlike silk threads, it healed the "wounds" on the body.

To the astonishment of Captain Lei and the others, the originally enormous abyss rift miraculously began to close.

Then it transformed into a thin crack, and finally, with the final stroke of the power of dreams, the power of heaven and earth instantly healed the abyss rift.

"That solves it!"

Captain Lei and the others were in a daze. They had just experienced a life-or-death crisis, but they didn't expect it to be resolved so easily.

As the abyss lord was about to descend, they were almost prepared to die, but they emerged unscathed, as if it had all been a dream.

"War King, Thunder King..."

A noble figure descended from the sky and slowly landed in front of the crowd.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly King!"

Upon seeing the figure appear, everyone present instantly became respectful, especially those from the lower city, who at that moment almost prostrated themselves before him.

"Was it the Heavenly King who made the move just now?" Ancestor Stan couldn't help but ask.

"Then who do you think it is?" Lu Yunhe asked with a smile.

"legend!"

Stan's mouth was dry as he spoke, his mood suddenly becoming complicated.

Only those at the highest level of the Legendary Realm can defeat the Demon Lord head-on.

The moment the Heavenly King appeared, Stan already understood, but he was simply too afraid to accept reality.

It hasn't been that long! Although they knew that the Heavenly King was likely to become a legendary figure, they didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so quickly that they weren't even prepared to react.

In a remote town, a legendary figure emerged, and he even established his own power. Old Ancestor Stan knew exactly what would happen next.

It's hard to accept that someone so easily hands over the trump card you've worked so hard to build.

Fortunately, the self-regulation ability of gold-level experts is also very strong, and soon Stan and the others comforted themselves.

"Being able to become a subordinate of a newly promoted, highly promising legendary figure isn't a bad deal after all," Ancestor Stan consoled himself.

They were utterly powerless to resist. Even the Abyss Lords, who could have crushed them, were easily repelled by the enemy. The entire Upper City was nothing more than clay in the enemy's hands.

As for abandoning Blackwater City and fleeing again, all the previous investments would be wasted, so it would be better to join the Heavenly King.

The hardships involved in building a power from scratch are known only to the ancestors themselves.

What saddened the ancestors even more was that if they chose to split up, the clansmen in the main city would most likely choose to directly join the legends rather than start a hard life with them from scratch.

Instead of following the legendary masters, they chose to start a business with a group of gold-level experts. Anyone would make the same choice.

"Congratulations to the Heavenly King on advancing to the Legendary rank."

Compared to the complex emotions of the elders, the War King and the others were much happier. Their leader's further advancement was naturally a great thing for them.

After all, the entire lower city can be said to have been built up by Lord Heavenly King. Without Lord Heavenly King's help, War King, Thunder King, and others would never have been able to break through to the Gold level.

"May Your Excellency ascend to the throne soon," the War King and the others said respectfully.

After becoming a legend, the ultimate goal is naturally to ascend to the throne of gods and become a true god who reigns supreme over the world.

Although life has infinite possibilities, the possibilities of the legendary realm are obviously greater.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your legendary attainment of enlightenment! We admire your brilliance and hope to receive your guidance. Please accept us as your disciples."

After exchanging ideas with the other elders, Stan finally accepted his fate and prepared to join the ranks of this newly emerged legend.

Otherwise, they would have no choice but to stay away from Blackwater City. They couldn't possibly drive away this legendary figure with their own strength; the ancestors didn't have that kind of power.

Fortunately, the upper and lower city areas had been integrated for some time, so it wasn't a completely parachuted-in leadership. During this period, the elders were given a lot of time to prepare psychologically.

At this moment, there is not much psychological burden in seeking refuge.

"it is good!"

Lu Yunhe nodded. The stronger one's strength, the greater one's power.

After he became a legendary figure, many things in Blackwater City ceased to be a problem, and his will was able to be consistently upheld.

Of course, very few people can do that, and most people don't have the ability to crush others with absolute strength; they all have to go through various compromises.

“From now on, there will be no distinction between the upper and lower city areas. Blackwater City will be renamed Dream City!” Lu Yunhe decided.

The City of Dreams can be considered his starting point in this world.

"Yes, my lord!"

Stan said respectfully, adding that he had long been prepared for this request.

As the new master of Blackwater City, the Heavenly King naturally had to sweep away the old marks and put on his own new symbol.

"If the upper and lower city areas are merged, we should be able to enjoy the same treatment as War King and the others, right?" Ancestor Stan said with interest.

One after another, the War King and the Wolf King advanced to the Gold level, and even the young man from the Lei family who had sided with the Heavenly King has now become the Thunder King.

However, during this period, the number of gold-level cultivators in the upper city did not increase at all; it was still the few patriarchs who were supporting the city.

If they could rely on the Heavenly King to make their family truly prosperous, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Ancestor Stan and the others.

As for the legendary realm, I don't really aspire to anything beyond the old-school Gold level like Ancestor Stan.

Being able to settle down in such a remote area likely means that one has given up any further ambitions.

Otherwise, with his gold-level strength, he would be fully qualified to venture into more prosperous places.

For our ancestors, they also placed great hopes on their descendants.

Unfortunately, the talents of the family members raised in such remote places are generally mediocre, and there are no outstanding members of the family.

The idea of ​​turning the tide with the help of one's clan is, in a way, just a dream.

However, in the hands of the Heavenly King, even a young man from the Lei family could become a Gold-level expert, possessing the power to turn the rotten into the miraculous.

In order to ensure that the younger generation receives more instructions from the Heavenly King, the Ancestor is also prepared to do some practical things and strive for more benefits for the family.

"Your Majesty, should we eliminate these demons as well?" Ancestor Stan asked.

This kind of assisting task doesn't require the Heavenly King to personally handle it; it can be left to them to do.

Lu Yunhe glanced at the Black Earth, because the demons had summoned a massive number of demons this time, as they were backed by the Abyss Rift.

Even after the massacre and the sacrifices made to bring down the Abyss Lord, a massive army of demons was still preserved.

At this moment, there are still more than ten million abyssal demons scattered throughout the entire Black Land.

During this time, Lu Yunhe even saw some demons who directly advanced in rank due to the excessive killing around them, which was quite speechless.

Compared to demons, the training of professionals is incredibly difficult.

"No need. Just issue the demon-slaying quest in the Dream World and let the younger generation gain experience." Lu Yunhe shook his head.

In any case, the abyss rift has already closed, and no matter how many demons remain, they won't be able to cause any trouble. Even if a demon unexpectedly advances to a higher rank, it won't be a match for the War King and the others.

In that case, it would be better to leave them for these lower-level professionals to hone their skills. In the later stages, these demons might not even be enough for the professionals to kill.

“We understand!” Ancestor Stan’s eyes lit up. It seemed that the Heavenly King’s personality was even better than he had imagined.

As the leader of a power, Stan the Elder understood what choices were most advantageous for his faction.

Moreover, different choices can also reflect a leader's attitude towards his subordinates and his power.

Is it just for casual consumption, or just for fun, or is it something you don't care about at all...?

It now seems that at least the Heavenly King did not treat them as disposable items, but consciously chose to cultivate them.

Don't underestimate the power of attitude; when the attitude of the strong is reflected in the weak, it brings endless benefits.

Although it was just a small test, Ancestor Stan got what he wanted, and the legendary realm before him was worth following.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will certainly make arrangements for these demons," said Patriarch Stan with full confidence.

As a latecomer, one naturally has to put in many times more effort to occupy a key position.

Lu Yunhe could see perfectly clearly what Stan was thinking.

In his eyes, the entire life of the Dream City held absolutely no secrets.

Stan and the others thought they had a choice, but in reality they had no choice at all and could only follow him down this dark path.

Of course, his path wasn't exactly dark either. In another world, even if a cosmic god begged to follow him, he wouldn't even look at him.

"I'll leave it to you."

Lu Yunhe nodded. Naturally, he, as the boss, didn't need to personally handle such trivial matters; his gold-level subordinates could manage them on their own.

After dealing with the Abyss Lord and the Abyss Rift, Lu Yunhe turned and left, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Watching the Heavenly King disappear, the turbulent emotions in this person's heart gradually calmed down.

"legend!"

The Lei family patriarch said enviously, "This is the power that all of our ancestors have dreamed of."

Even if you settle down in this remote area, it is basically equivalent to giving up the future. But that doesn’t mean you don’t yearn for it. On the contrary, it is because you yearn for it but cannot have it that you have no choice but to give it up.

"With your talent, even reaching the legendary realm is not the end."

The War King was full of confidence; he had a premonition that even he himself would have a chance to become a Legend.

Despite having little talent, under the tutelage of the Heavenly King, he not only easily reached the Legendary Realm but also surpassed many ancestors in a short period of time.

With this skill alone, I'm afraid even some legendary figures don't possess it.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Compared to the Heavenly King's strength, his mystery and talent were clearly more awe-inspiring. However, his rise to power was so rapid that he was sometimes easily overlooked.

"This way!"

You can't raise dragons by diving; if your superiors are all legends, it's hard for your subordinates to surpass them.
