Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Flame Wind Ancient Country, the border city 'Xiangjie City' was as bustling as ever, with numerous cultivators going about their normal lives.

The underground palace of the Garrison Mansion.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged in the great hall, with a full five billion Black Rivers forming the 'Black River World,' suppressing the world's entrance, the creatures of the Primordial Bloodline had long since departed.

"Facing the Great Dao of Life Origin, the deeper I comprehend, the more I vaguely sense that countless lives will eventually head towards destruction. It turns out... even this giant Braided Cage governed by the supreme rules will meet its great destruction," Luo Feng smiled.

Being privy to this secret did not bother Luo Feng in the slightest.

Back on Earth, when he was still weak, people were born, grew old, fell ill, and died, with many not living past a hundred years.

And what about him?

He had grown all the way up to now, even having experienced the reincarnation of the Primordial Cosmos! And the destruction of the entire Origin World, from the present day, who knows how many Reincarnation Eras there might be.

"Living until the great destruction of the entire Origin World would be a matter of pride, what's there to be dissatisfied with?" Luo Feng had long been content, enjoying every single day of his cultivation.

Cultivation was never for that final moment.

But for every moment along the journey of cultivation!

He was pondering the essence of the world's operation while also elevating the essence of his own life, this process in itself was filled with endless joy.

Time passed, and the deadline for the Heavenly Task was about to arrive.

Luo Feng also left an Avatar on the Blood Spirit Star, carrying a full three billion Black Rivers, for Luo Feng worried that someone might take the opportunity to contend for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearls while he was tasked with suppressing the world's entrance. Three billion Black Rivers were enough to discourage the other Transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm.

The Blood Spirit Star indeed welcomed its third Eruption Period! During the Eruption Period, Luo Feng enveloped that Blood Spirit Star with the Black River World and obtained a total of 53 Blood Spirit Golden Pearls this time.

Chu Capital, Luo Feng's Cave Dwelling.

"Brother Luo He, today is the last day of the Heavenly Task, the rankings are about to come out," Emperor Chu Yu sat opposite Luo Feng, quite nervous at the moment, for the resources of the Heavenly Task were too important to him.

"Don't worry, you've made all the efforts you could, your anxiety won't change the rankings," Luo Feng was leisurely sipping his wine.

"This time, for the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task, I'm indisputably first, and by a large margin," Emperor Chu Yu looked at Luo Feng, "The third eruption of the Blood Spirit Star this time, all the first-grade marquises wanted to buy those Blood Spirit Golden Pearls. Brother Luo He, you haven't sold a single one, those marquises might bear a grudge because of that."

Luo Feng continued pouring wine, smiling, "Do you think I care about them?"

Emperor Chu Yu laughed as well.

He knew his friend's strength! Even among the First Realm of Godly King beings in the Land of Origin, Luo He was considered one of the strongest.

First-grade marquis of the Imperial Clan? There are nearly a hundred first-grade marquises in the Imperial Clan's thirteen lineages!

"This time there are three sub-tasks for the Heavenly Task, my own two sub-tasks are third and fourth," Emperor Chu Yu said, "The sub-task you helped with, Brother Luo He, is absolutely first."

"Combined the three sub-tasks, I don't know which place I'll take," Emperor Chu Yu pondered.

"I heard Marquis Chu Ying was first in both of his sub-tasks?" Luo Feng inquired.

"Yes."

Emperor Chu Yu nodded, "Marquis Chu Ying didn't rely on any external objects either, but understood the Dao just like you, Brother Luo He. His performances in the two sub-tasks were quite impressive; the next Godly King of our Emperor Chu's Lineage of the Imperial Clan will likely be him."

Luo Feng nodded, as Emperor Qing had also once praised Marquis Chu Ying, indicating his potential and understanding.

"Of course, in terms of understanding and potential, he is far from matching you, Brother Luo He," Emperor Chu Yu sighed, "Brother Luo He, you created a Secret Technique and became the first to Transcend in the Primal Chaos Realm, acknowledged by all forces in the Land of Origin. It won't be long before you become a Godly King."

Marquis Chu Ying's potential and understanding were considered excellent among the Imperial Clan.

But Luo Feng was absolutely the first among all in the Primal Chaos Realm.

"Becoming a Godly King is not so easy," Luo Feng shook his head, having comprehended three branches of the Great Dao of Life Origin and two branches of the Great Dao of Destruction Origin, even if he had used the Primordial Crystal Spirit Fruit and practiced some Secret Techniques, he still had not made a breakthrough.

Time slowly passed.

Not just Emperor Chu's Lineage, but all thirteen lineages of the Flame Wind Ancient Country's Imperial Clan, all the first-grade marquises were waiting for the rankings of the Heavenly Task.

In a certain moment——

The thirteen lineages of the Flame Wind Ancient Country's Imperial Clan simultaneously revealed the rankings of the Heavenly Task.

"It's out, the rankings are out," all sides were paying attention to the news.

...

Chu Capital.

"The Two Realms Palace, such a waste!" Marquis Chu Chang looking at the final rankings; among the seven first-grade marquises from Emperor Chu's Lineage, Marquis Chu Chang was ranked fourth.

Being in the top three would have meant a better allocation of resources.

The resources for the fourth rank were indeed greatly diminished.

"In my individual tasks, I was fourth and fifth. For the Blood Spirit Golden Pearl task, I was third," Marquis Chu Chang shook his head; he was of average level, and that's why the Two Realms Palace had chosen him.

Unsure of his own prospects, he was willing to share ample resources.

"Not being in the top three means I don't need to give anything to the Two Realms Palace," Marquis Chu Chang snorted, cursing the Two Realms Palace's incompetence while also feeling like he had made some easy gains.

...

Luo Feng's Cave Dwelling.

Emperor Chu Yu and Luo Feng were together, waiting for the final rankings.

"Second!" Emperor Chu Yu's hand trembled so much that his wine cup fell; he excitedly looked at Luo Feng, "I'm ranked second! As a newly promoted first-grade marquis, I actually ranked second!"

"Marquis Chu Ying is first?" Luo Feng asked.

"Yes, he's first, and I'm second," Emperor Chu Yu was exhilarated, "Marquis Chu Feng is third, Marquis Chu Chang fourth, Marquis Chu Ji fifth, Marquis Chu Lin sixth, Marquis Chu Yuan seventh."

Luo Feng nodded, it was all within expectations.
