Swallowing the Stars, I am the Lord of the Galaxy

He paused, then lowered his voice: "In my Qin Kingdom's library, there are seven ancient books about the origin of life, which you may study for a hundred years."

Upon hearing this condition, even Mu Qing, who was standing to the side, was slightly moved.

It should be understood that ancient books on the origin of life are the most prized treasures of any power, and the Qin Kingdom has indeed gone to great lengths this time.

However, Xingchen simply shook her head slightly: "Not enough."

Marquis Qingyuan frowned slightly, clearly not expecting that even such conditions wouldn't sway Xingchen. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and solemnly bowed: "If Brother Xingchen is willing to lend a helping hand, my Frost and Snow God King of Qin Kingdom is willing to personally guide your cultivation!"

This promise carries immense weight. Even a short period of personal guidance from the God-King would be enough to drive any Chaos Ruler mad. Consider this: on the Origin Continent, countless Chaos Rulers have been stuck at their bottlenecks for billions of years, lacking only that one stroke of divine guidance.

To Qingyuan Hou's surprise, Xingchen still shook his head.

"Brother Xingchen..."

Marquis Qingyuan smiled bitterly.

"If these conditions are not enough, then please state them clearly. Anything that my Qin Kingdom can do..."

His words suddenly caught in his throat.

At this moment, a faint aura suddenly emanated from Xingchen.

It was just a trace, yet it made Qingyuan Hou feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and all his divine power froze!

That aura...that was clearly...

"God... God King?!"

Qingyuan Hou's eyes widened, and his voice trembled.

Only then did he understand why he couldn't see through Xingchen's cultivation level and why the other party disregarded the conditions offered by Qin Kingdom.

Why would a god-king care about a treasure of the level of a chaos overlord? And why would he need the guidance of other god-kings?

Xingchen slowly calmed his aura, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Now, Marquis Qingyuan understands, right? The price is different now."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qingyuan Hou's forehead. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply, saying, "This junior has been disrespectful. Please forgive me, Divine King!"

Their attitude was extremely respectful, and even their form of address changed.

"It doesn't matter."

The stars waved their hands.

"You were just following orders."

Marquis Qingyuan remained in a bowing posture, not daring to raise his head: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I must immediately report to Frost and Snow God-King. I wonder..."

"Go."

Xingchen said calmly.

"Tell Shuangxue that if she really wants to talk, she should come in person."

"Yes! This junior will take his leave!"

Marquis Qingyuan dared not say more, respectfully took three steps back, then turned and transformed into a streak of blue light, disappearing into the horizon.

After Qingyuan Marquis left, Mu Qing stepped forward and whispered, "Master, Qin Kingdom is likely to have to pay a heavy price this time."

Xingchen gazed in the direction where Qingyuanhou had left, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Let them think carefully about what they can do to persuade a God-King to take action."

……

The figure of Qingyuan Hou streaked across the sky like a streak of light, instantly traversing hundreds of millions of miles and returning to one of the core areas of Qin Kingdom.

As soon as he landed, he felt a bone-chilling cold.

The Frost and Snow God King had already sensed his return and was now standing quietly on the azure lake, surrounded by ice crystals, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

"how?"

The Frost and Snow God King's voice was as cold as frost.

Marquis Qingyuan bowed deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, Xingchen... he..."

"explain."

The Frost and Snow God King frowned slightly, clearly sensing something amiss.

Qingyuan Hou took a deep breath and said with difficulty, "Xingchen... has broken through to the God King realm!"

"what?!"

The ice crystals around the Frost and Snow God King suddenly shattered, and the Azure Lake instantly froze into ice, with a terrifying chill sweeping across the entire temple.

Her pupils contracted slightly, clearly shocked by the news.

"you sure?"

Her voice was low and tinged with disbelief.

"Absolutely true!"

Cold sweat dripped down Qingyuan Hou's forehead.

"I personally experienced that oppressive aura; there's no mistake about it!"

The Frost and Snow God King remained silent for a long time, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"No wonder...no wonder he was able to be invincible on the battlefield as the ruler of chaos."

She murmured to herself.

"It turns out he was only one step away from becoming a god-king."

She slowly turned around and looked into the depths of the temple, where the God King Qinxin was in seclusion.

"A newly ascended God-King..."

She murmured softly, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

The Frost and Snow God King's mind was in turmoil.

“Yuan Kingdom already has five God-Kings in charge, while my Qin Kingdom, although it has the same number of five, is far inferior in actual combat strength. If the fighting continues, Qin Kingdom will undoubtedly be defeated.”

"But what if we could bring Xingchen over..."

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she had already made up her mind.

"Qingyuan".

She suddenly spoke, her voice cold and resolute.

"My subordinate is here!"

Marquis Qingyuan quickly responded.

"Order the treasury to be opened and the 'Life Source Crystal' to be retrieved."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Qingyuan's expression changed drastically: "Your Majesty! That is one of the national treasures of my Qin Kingdom, and even the King has never used it lightly!"

"It doesn't matter."

The Frost and Snow God King's eyes were deep and profound.

"If we can get a God-King to help us, a mere Source Crystal is nothing."

"This battle concerns the survival of the Qin Kingdom. If we lose, everything will be over. If he can help, I can also meet any other more precious conditions."

She looked in the direction of Ying Heicheng, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"Prepare a generous gift. I will personally visit the Star God King in three days."

"If we can win over a newly promoted God-King, the outcome of this battle is uncertain."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Frost and Snow God King.

"Even if he is unwilling to join my Qin Kingdom, we cannot allow him to help the Yuan Kingdom."

Marquis Qingyuan bowed deeply: "Your subordinate will take care of it immediately!"

He turned and left, still deeply shaken.

This is the weight of a god-king, a true overlord.

Three days later, light snow began to fall over Yinghei City.

The glistening snowflakes fell silently, only to melt into ice crystals and dissipate the moment they touched the city wall.

The cultivators in the city all looked up, sensing a vast and icy aura approaching from afar.

"coming."

The stars stand in the courtyard, gazing up at the sky.

A white streak of light streaked across the sky, leaving behind fine ice patterns in the void.

The figure drew closer and closer, finally hovering above Yinghei City.

The Frost and Snow God King stood in mid-air, dressed in white robes that were even whiter than snow, with his black hair cascading down like a waterfall. Nine ice crystal chains surrounded his body, each containing terrifying laws of extreme cold.

Her face was aloof, her eyes like cold stars; simply by standing there, the temperature of the entire city seemed to drop several degrees.

"Star God King".

She spoke softly, her voice like a flowing icy spring, clear and cold.

"I apologize for the intrusion of Frost and Snow. I hope you will not take offense."

Although it was just a polite formality, the God-King's majesty remained undiminished, and every word seemed to freeze the void.

Xingchen smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved it, and the restrictions enveloping the city were silently activated.

"The presence of the Frost and Snow God King brings great honor to our humble abode."

He took a step and was already high in the sky, standing opposite the Frost and Snow God King.

The two auras, one cold and one warm, were equally vast and profound, causing the laws of heaven and earth to tremble slightly.

"please."

Xingchen turned to the side to indicate.

The Frost and Snow God King nodded slightly, and ice lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, falling into the city along with the stars.

The moment the Frost God King descended, the entire Yinghei City fell into a brief silence.
