Swallowed Star 2: Land of Origin

Luo Feng's Heaven and Earth Avatar is a life form at the early stage of the Divine Emperor. During the fusion process of the Heaven and Earth Avatar with the Secret Treasure 'Palm World', some of the most powerful beings on the Land of Origin could still catch glimpses of certain information.

A stranger at the early stage of the Divine Emperor? Such a powerful Secret Treasure?

Who else could it be but the Galaxy Ruler? There's no way the Land of Origin could produce two beings at the early stage of the Divine Emperor back to back.

"Hahaha, I still couldn't fool Brother Emperor Qing." Luo Feng stood on one of the towering mountain peaks formed by the huge furry paw, revealing his true self with the mask disappearing.

Hoo.

Emperor Qing also arrived at this mountain peak, laughing, "Such a powerful Avatar, such a powerful Secret Treasure, who else could it be but Brother Galaxy?"

"Is this an Innate Secret Treasure?" Emperor Qing stood on the mountaintop, looking at the gigantic furry paw in amazement, "This Innate Secret Treasure is extraordinarily valuable. Placed in the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, it's probably worth thirty to forty thousand reward points."

Luo Feng nodded. Based on his long-term research, while the Secret Patterns contained within this Innate Secret Treasure are a bit inferior to 'Special Life Remnants', it is still a Secret Treasure after all.

"Obtained from the Dream Domain?" Emperor Qing asked.

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded, "In all my cultivation till now, this is the only Innate Secret Treasure I've obtained."

"I've been cultivating longer than you, and have explored both the Dream Domain and the Heavenly Pillar Realm for a long time, yet only managed to obtain two Innate Secret Treasures in total." Emperor Qing laughed, "And from my perspective, its value should be close to that of a Special Life Remnant."

Luo Feng smiled.

"It seems you're not planning to take this Innate Secret Treasure out?" Emperor Qing observed the scene before him, the vast Palm World formed by the Innate Secret Treasure was shielding Huyang City.

Luo Feng nodded, "Not taking it out."

"This Huyang City can be considered the safest place on the Land of Origin." Emperor Qing commented, "Its isolation of causality is so formidable that even I cannot ascertain anything."

With the help of the Eye of Life and Death, Luo Feng could discern the causal links between the creatures within Huyang City in the Palm World and those in the outside world.

But no other methods could probe it.

"Hoohoo."

Two more figures approached side by side; they were the Thunder Ancestor and the Primogenitor Yan Feng.

"What an Innate Secret Treasure." Primogenitor Yan Feng observed, "It should be the paw of a High Level Primordial Life, nurtured for countless ages inside a World Level Primordial Life from the Dream Domain, forming such an Innate Secret Treasure. Its value is comparable to a Special Life Remnant."

"Primogenitor Yan Feng, you could tell this?" Luo Feng was surprised.

"Having lived in this Source World for several eras, I've seen my fair share of Special Life Remnants and Innate Secret Treasures." Primogenitor Yan Feng laughed, "I've also heard similar rumors outside the Source World. Naturally, I could deduce as much."

The Thunder Ancestor, gazing at the furry paw, couldn't help but say, "Galaxy, are you planning to sell this Innate Secret Treasure? I can get you something suitable, a heritage that directly points towards the half-Primordial level Enlightened."

"Directly pointing to half-Primordial heritage?" Emperor Qing was somewhat surprised from the side, knowing well that heritage below the Divine Emperor Level is common, but one reaching the half-Primordial level Enlightened is much more costly.

"Not selling." Luo Feng shook his head.

"When you plan to sell, feel free to contact me anytime." The Thunder Ancestor was patient; having lived long, he clearly understood the magic of time. In the vast passage of time, a cultivator might change their mind easily; in the future, under environmental influences, this Luo He might very well decide to sell the treasure.

Luo Feng looked into the distance and found that the East Extreme Domain Ancestor, Feng Xi, had also arrived.

"The Godly Emperors of the Land of Origin are all gathered here today." Luo Feng smiled, "This is indeed an honor for me, Luo He."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng conjured a cave mansion, tables, chairs, and had fine wines and fruits ready.

"Please, everyone, have a seat."

Immediately, Luo Feng, the two Primogenitors, Emperor Qing, and the East Extreme Domain Ancestor, in total five people, sat down. These were the five most powerful beings on the Land of Origin.

"I've been guessing who the Galaxy Ruler truly is. I once speculated it might be Luo He... but Luo He is too young, I couldn't believe it." The East Extreme Domain Ancestor laughed, "Who knew it was indeed Luo He."

"Luo He." Primogenitor Yan Feng couldn't help but ask, "Are you a reincarnator, or did you truly cultivate to such a level within just over a thousand epochs?"

"Looking at the cultivation paths and Secret Techniques of historical powerhouses on the Land of Origin, none match Luo He, so it's likely not reincarnation." The East Extreme Domain Ancestor shook his head.

But the Thunder Ancestor laughed and said, "Perhaps a powerful being from another Source World, reincarnated here."

While speaking, both Primogenitor Yan Feng and the Thunder Ancestor looked at Luo Feng.

"A powerful being from another Source World, reincarnated here?" Luo Feng was surprised, "Has this happened on the Land of Origin before?"

From the Infinite Space Treasure Vault, Luo Feng knew that there is a way to reincarnate into another Source World.

"Not on the Land of Origin." Primogenitor Yan Feng laughed, "But we've heard plenty in our journeys outside the Source World!"

"If you're not a reincarnator..."

The Thunder Ancestor couldn't help but say, "Luo He should have gone through the cycle of rebirth to arrive at the Land of Origin, arriving first at Huyang City, being here for around 1500 epochs. You've reached such heights?"

"Such a short time, such strength, truly terrifying." Emperor Qing also marveled at Luo Feng.

The two Primogenitors, Emperor Qing, and the East Extreme Domain Ancestor all felt that if indeed one cultivated to such strength in a short time, the growth speed would be terrifying indeed! If it were an old monster from another Source World reincarnated, it'd still be understandable.

"Hahaha..." Luo Feng laughed heartily, "Just consider me as a reincarnator then."

He was unwilling to explain or prove anything.

"Achieving such achievements in such a short time means that among the many Source Worlds, among countless worlds, one would be among the very top few." At this moment, the Primogenitors and the rest faintly felt, this Luo He might truly have achieved this through brief cultivation.

That feeling left them deeply shocked.

Such talent!

Such potential!

...

At this moment, on the Land of Origin, the Emperors and Monarchs, as well as numerous Godly Kings were speculating about the events of Huyang City, they implicitly guessed at a certain possibility.

Emperor Yan, Emperor Xi, and Emperor Wu gathered together.

"The true identity of the Galaxy Ruler is, nine times out of ten, that Luo He!" Emperor Yan sat restlessly on the throne, his huge fiery wings drooping, his slender scale-armored tail swaying somewhat uneasily, while the flames on his body surged and twisted.

"Are you that worried?" Emperor Wu said, "Just possessing a powerful Secret Treasure in the Huyang City area proves the Galaxy Ruler is Luo He?"

"Sister Wu, didn't you see the power of that Secret Treasure? It has already reached the maximum potential of the Land of Origin." Emperor Yan urged anxiously, "It even isolates causality more strongly than Mt. Leiting. I can't sense any life within Huyang City at all."

Emperor Xi, beside him, also nodded coldly, "Considering isolation of causality on the Land of Origin, Mt. Leiting ranked first before, also known as the primary Holy Land. Now, the isolation effect of Huyang City surpasses it."

"Treasures, too, depend on the wielder." Emperor Yan said, "Like Gui Xu, giving them powerful Secret Treasures, they wouldn't be able to bring out much power. Yet the power of that super-sized paw... the owner of this Secret Treasure must surpass us in strength."

"An unprecedented powerful presence suddenly emerging on the Land of Origin, along with such a powerful Secret Treasure? Who else but the Galaxy Ruler?" Emperor Yan pressed urgently, "And those five interconnected mountain ranges have surrounded Huyang City for hundreds of epochs."

"Considering the rise speed of that Luo He."

"Considering how the former Galaxy Ruler killed the three Kings of Shi Kingdom! Yet the territory fell into Luo He's hands."

"The Galaxy Ruler detests evil, and upon closely examining Luo He's growth experiences, he also detests evil."

Emperor Yan anxiously added, "Combining everything, nine times out of ten, Luo He is the Galaxy Ruler!"

As the first Emperor of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, Emperor Yan could even unite two Emperors, making their faction the strongest among many Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Country, Emperor Yan's vision was naturally sharp. He had long recognized Luo Feng's potential and wanted to suppress it a bit. Yet, he never expected Luo Feng's growth to be so terrifying.

"Even if he is the Galaxy Ruler, what can he do? We haven't massively plundered countless creatures." Emperor Xi said indifferently, "We don't share any major grudges with him."

"Emperor Wu, you have a major grudge with Emperor Chu." Emperor Yan pointed out.

"We haven't killed any tribespeople of Luo He, nor any sect disciples." Emperor Wu retorted, "As for the feud with Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu is still doing well, while I lost two children! I'm the one who suffered more."

"We are ultimately Emperors of the Flame Wind Ancient Country Royal Family, and the Ancestor is benevolent. As long as it's not a monumental fault, they will protect us." Emperor Xi remarked to Emperor Yan, "I understand your intention, you want to leave the Land of Origin?"

Emperor Yan looked at his wife, "Don't let others decide your fate."

After determining that Luo He was likely the Galaxy Ruler, Emperor Yan had already decided.

"I don't want to go."

Emperor Xi shook her head, "I've heard, outside the Source World, beings like us with only Ultimate Realm Life Forms are the weakest, the lowest tier! I'd rather linger on the Land of Origin for tens of billions of epochs than go outside."

Emperor Yan did not continue persuading.

If, when the Land of Origin approached extinction, he took Emperor Xi away, she would surely be willing.

But there were still tens of billions of epochs left! That's a long, long time, so it was indeed normal for Emperor Xi not to wish to leave.

...

Elsewhere.

Emperor Chu looked distantly towards the direction of Huyang City, where the super-sized furry paw cradling Huyang City had a presence much more terrifying than that of Mt. Leiting.

"To wield such a Secret Treasure and even reveal it openly without fear of being plundered by the Primogenitors, actively displaying it..." Emperor Chu pondered, "It should be the Galaxy Ruler."

"To show such methods and reveal such a powerful Secret Treasure purely to protect Huyang City?"

The Emperors were not foolish.

With Luo Feng's display in Huyang City this time, combined with traces from the past, it was easy for everyone to speculate a common guess — perhaps Luo He is the Galaxy Ruler.

"Could it be that my disciple is the Galaxy Ruler?"

"Could it be?"

Emperor Chu gazed into the distance, feeling a bit unsettled.

"Luo Feng." Emperor Chu suddenly contacted through the transmission token.

"Master." Luo Feng responded.

"Luo Feng, are you the Galaxy Ruler?" Emperor Chu asked.

"Yes! I am the Galaxy Ruler; it was wrong of me to hide it from Master for so long." Luo Feng replied.

Emperor Chu felt his blood boil, his head buzz with sounds.
