Chapter 469: Convergence, Star Rain!

Qiankun Cave Heaven, central area.

The central area of Qiankun Cave Heaven isn't very large; it has only three zones.

Star Region, the Heritage Temple, and a forbidden zone that no one has ever entered.

At this moment, within a volcanic cluster in the central area.

Powerful silhouettes stand silently between Heaven and Earth, radiating extremely fierce vibrations.

Among them, just the number of five‑step King‑Conferred reaches an astonishing ten!

They are clearly the strong ones from the Myriad Races, the Human Race, and the City of Slaughter.

At this moment, the Human Race suffers extremely heavy losses; the original count of twenty.

Setting aside Su Yu and his five companions, only ten people remain in the central area, among them the Martial King, the Civil King, the Heavenly Time King, the Dominant Sky King, and the Thunder King.

On the way into the central area, the Human Race has already lost a full five people!

Although compared with the Myriad Races' losses, the Human Race's losses are almost negligible.

But don't forget…

The Human Race's total quota is only twenty.

Meanwhile, the Myriad Races have a staggering quota of seventy.

Now, the Myriad Races still have a full forty, standing proudly between Heaven and Earth.

They release terrifying vibrations, pressing toward the Human Race.

"Heh heh, Martial King. This time your Human Race's losses are rather severe!"

Holy Spirit King looks at where the Human Race stands and says with a grin.

Martial King gives a faint glance and then says.

"It's fine, it's fine. Unlike you Myriad Races, now down to just over forty; compared with us, your losses aren't bad either."

Earth Demon King snorts coldly.

"If the Star Rain hadn't yet unfolded, today would be the Human Race's death day!"

Star Rain is an extremely unique phenomenon within the Star Region.

The Myriad Races' continent obtains its star veins through the Star Rain.

At certain times, the Star Region erupts with terrifying Star Rain, which consists of countless star veins.

However, the Star Rain moves at extreme speed, and its power is also terrifying.

Unless a strong one above the three‑step King‑Conferred intervenes, extracting star veins from the sky‑filled Star Rain is exceedingly difficult.

And this is only the most basic star vein.

To obtain an advanced star vein, a five‑step King‑Conferred strong one must act.

A single advanced star vein can sustain a race for several years without lacking any resources.

As for a Supreme star vein, it even requires many five‑step King‑Conferred strong ones to cooperate to retrieve it from the sky‑filled Star Rain.

However, Supreme star veins are not easy to appear; Qiankun Cave Heaven has been opened dozens, even hundreds of times.

The number of times a Supreme star vein has appeared is only three.

And those three times, they were obtained by the Three Races.

Not everyone can, like Su Yu, cultivate so quickly; even a typical Supreme Star Crystal requires a four‑step King‑Conferred strong one an entire hour to fully absorb its energy.

After all, their cultivation methods top out at ninth‑level, but Su Yu is different.

Su Yu's technique is already a second‑tier Dao method.

Surpassing this world's limits, and having walked the Extreme Path, Su Yu's absorption speed far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.

Hence he can be so swift.

One could say that once a legendary star vein is obtained, a race can develop rapidly.

The Three Races originally dominated the Myriad Races little by little through Supreme star veins.

Star Rain is also extremely special; in the period before its eruption.

If strong energy fluctuations surround it, the eruption of Star Rain can be indefinitely delayed.

Their time inside Qiankun Cave Heaven is only one month.

Naturally they are unwilling to let the Star Rain's eruption be postponed.

Thus, Earth Demon King just said those words.

Civil King smiles faintly and says.

"Anyway, we Human Race don't recommend delaying time; we have no star veins, and even without them we can survive."

"But you Three Races… Supreme star veins, are they really that easy to obtain?"

Civil King looks at the Immortal Spirit King, Holy Spirit King, and Earth Demon King, and smiles lightly.

His gaze carries a strong mocking tone.

Sure enough, Holy Spirit King's expression darkens sharply, looking at Civil King and the others with an ugly stare.

Indeed, Supreme star veins aren't that easy to obtain.

The reason the Myriad Races' continent lacks star veins is that it has insufficient energy to sustain their formation.

Even if a star vein is taken from Qiankun Cave Heaven, it isn't easy to install.

Low‑grade and mid‑grade star veins are fine; they just need to be placed in the most energy‑dense region of the territory to be easily installed.

But for high‑grade, i. e., advanced star veins, more energy is required.

Otherwise, once the energy in the star vein is exhausted, it becomes a completely wasted mine.

For star veins, the best energy source is none other than low‑grade star veins.

All Three Races possess Supreme star veins, gaining far too many benefits.

But the price is also great; each year a low‑grade Stellar Ore Vein must be placed into it to ensure the stability of the premium Stellar Ore Vein.

If one wishes the Stellar Ore Vein to yield more, more inferior Stellar Ore Veins must be inserted.

So, each year the Three Races take numerous Stellar Ore Veins from Qian Kun Cave Heaven, thereby sustaining the operation of their own premium Stellar Ore Veins.

King Wen's words just now struck the Holy Spirit King and his companions right in the heart.

Indeed, even with the Three Races' foundation, they cannot let their premium Stellar Ore Vein persist to the next opening of Qian Kun Cave Heaven without any gain this time.

Therefore, they now dare not move against the Human Race.

They even make requests of the Human Race.

This makes them extremely depressed.

In contrast, at the City of Slaughter's location,

ten King‑Conferred Strong Ones sit cross‑legged in the void, relaxed and waiting.

They are in a neutral venue, indifferent to both the Human Race and the Myriad Races.

They turn a blind eye to both, and each time they also obtain many benefits from Qian Kun Cave Heaven.

Zhao Tianxing, with silver hair, sits above the void, yet his spiritual power spreads outward.

He watches the situation of the Human Race and the Myriad Races.

At this moment, beside Zhao Tianxing, a King‑Conferred who appears to be from the Divine Race slowly speaks.

"Since you have come to the City of Slaughter, you must obey its rules. You are now an envoy of the City of Slaughter; you must not interfere in matters between the Human Race and the Myriad Races."

This person is another Five‑Step King‑Conferred of the City of Slaughter, apart from Zhao Tianxing.

He sensed Zhao Tianxing's movement and voiced a warning.

Zhao Tianxing helplessly shrugged his shoulders.

He truly wishes to help the Human Race, but since he became the Slaughter Envoy of the City of Slaughter,

he has learned much and understands that, with his current status, he could never intervene in the affairs of the Myriad Races Continent.

Should he intervene…

Both spirit and soul will be annihilated!

As when the Slay Dragon King underwent tribulation, Zhao Tianxing thought no one had noticed, but in the end he encountered the Lord of Slaughter.

Originally, according to the City of Slaughter's rules, after the Lord of Slaughter brought him back, the lightest consequence would be the stripping of his cultivation.

The harsher outcome would be immediate execution.

But for some reason, in the end the Lord of Slaughter did not do so.

Instead, he made him a confidant of the Lord of Slaughter.

Since that moment, Zhao Tianxing has come to know increasingly more about certain matters.

The reason the City of Slaughter is a neutral force on the Myriad Races Continent is not because it is formed by the rebellions of the Myriad Races.

but because…

The behind of the City of Slaughter… ωWω. GoNЬ. orG

It is Heaven Beyond Heaven!

As the former principal of Qianlong Academy, Zhao Tianxing naturally knows of Heaven Beyond Heaven's existence.

But he did not expect that the City of Slaughter was actually created by Heaven Beyond Heaven.

In other words, Heaven Beyond Heaven can still learn of events on the Myriad Races Continent through the City of Slaughter.

This matter is rather terrifying upon close thought.

Even the energy that the City of Slaughter supplies to Zhao Tianxing to sustain his vitality also comes from Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Zhao Tianxing cast a deep glance at King Wen and his group, sighing softly.

"Now… I can't help you at all."

Immediately, Zhao Tianxing closed his eyes and waited quietly.

Beside him, the Divine Race's King‑Conferred gave a deep look toward the Myriad Races, sighed softly, closed his eyes, and waited.

The Myriad Races side watched the Human Race warily.

They fear the Human Race might make some move now, disrupting the timing of the Stellar Rain.

However, they breathed a sigh of relief as the Human Race seemed not to have such intentions.

After all, the Human Race also needs Stellar Ore Veins, and its resources are extremely scarce.

The Human Race's resources are either obtained from ancient ruins or acquired during the Myriad Races' invasion.

Although they can support Daxia's cultivation, it is ultimately a draining practice.

Thus, there is an urgent need for Stellar Ore Veins to boost the Human Race's foundation.

Originally, Su Yu's Energy Ore Vein was placed in Qianlong Academy, and the Martial Artists Association—namely Martial King and his group—knew this.

Although it was the Human Race's first Energy Ore Vein, Martial King and his group did not demand that Su Yu surrender it.

After all, Su Yu obtained it himself.

Moreover, even if they wanted Su Yu to surrender it, the Slay Dragon King would not agree.

In any case, the Energy Ore Vein is in Qianlong Academy, which itself lies within Qianlong City.

The existence of the Energy Ore Vein can greatly boost Qianlong City's energy.

Strengthening Qianlong City is also a good thing for the Human Race.

So they did not mind.

After all, the Human Race is so vast that a single Energy Ore Vein, even a high‑grade one, would not be enough.

However, Stellar Ore Veins are different; they are truly strategic‑level resources.

They can even enlarge an entire race's strength.

Even if they clearly know that the outbreak of Star Rain will keep the Three Races' Supreme Star Crystal vein operating.

They must also act, to obtain the Star vein.

Only then can they grow stronger bit by bit.

Just as both sides were continuously on guard, waiting, a series of cracking sounds suddenly rang out.

In the next instant, space was torn apart.

The figures of the Heaven Sword King and others also appeared between heaven and earth.

When the Heaven Sword King and Su Yu were present, Wen King visibly let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Tian King also looked at Su Yu, his eyebrows slightly raised.

When they were teleported in, everyone was not in the same place, even though King Chen Tian had promised Slay Dragon King to keep Su Yu safe here.

But that also depends on Su Yu being able to rendezvous with King Chen Tian.

And now, Su Yu has appeared.

King Chen Tian gave a wry smile, then immediately shook his head.

"Su Yu!!"

The appearance of Su Yu and the five others instantly caused a low growl to come from the area of the Sealed King of Ten Thousand Races.

Su Yu looked over and saw the Flame Demon King's eyes blazing red as he stared at him.

His gaze was filled with an extremely intense killing intent.

"Su Yu? The one who had you issue the death order on the messenger jade tablet?"

Earth Demon King couldn't help but furrow his brow and said in a deep voice.

Flame Demon King, his eyes reddened, said, "That's right, it's him. This guy's talent is truly terrifying; we must snuff it out within the Cosmic Cavern, otherwise once he leaves, this kid will hide among the Human Race, and we won't be able to deal with him!"

The three Holy Spirit Kings turned to look at Su Yu.

Immortal Spirit King said lightly.

"After Star Rain ends, I will personally go kill him!"

Flame Demon King's eyes lit up.

Although he himself cannot slay Su Yu, the Immortal Spirit King can, and that's a genuine Five-Step Sealed King.

Killing a Su Yu is far from easy.

Holy Spirit King sneered, "Let this guy live a while longer; when Star Rain ends, even if he's a demon, so what? This time, no one from the Human Race will walk out alive!"

Sparkles of bright light flickered in Holy Spirit King's eyes.

Earth Demon King and the others also wore bright smiles on their faces.

On the Human Race side, Heaven Sword King immediately told Wen King and Wu King about what had happened earlier in the valley.

Everyone was astonished; they never expected Su Yu's combat power to be able to match the Flame Demon King.

Overlord King laughed loudly, "As expected of my Slay Dragon Army's Young Marshal; the Flame Demon King is nothing. Young Marshal, rest assured, when Star Rain ends, I will personally slay the Flame Demon King to vent your anger!"

Since Overlord King returned from undercover, he has shown endless admiration for Su Yu.

Su Yu chuckled and scratched his head.

He gave no further explanation, and Wen King also reminded Su Yu of a few things to keep him from becoming arrogant.

After all, in Wen King's view, Su Yu is still a bit too young.

While the Human Race side was still discussing, the volcano cluster below suddenly began to quake.

It seemed as if something was about to erupt from those volcanoes.

Wen King's eyes lit up.

"Star Rain... is about to begin!"

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly sprang up from the bed. Please,

He gulped fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confusion, incomprehension, a flood of emotions rose in his heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu instinctively surveyed his surroundings, and became even more bewildered.

A single‑person dormitory?

Even if he had been rescued, he should be in a ward now.

And his own body... how could there be no injury at all?

With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the foot of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, looking very handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him!

His former self was a distinguished handsome man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

Now, no matter how he looks at it, this appearance is just that of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu staring blankly for a long time.

Never tell him the surgery was a great success...

Body and face have changed; this is no longer a matter of surgery but of celestial technique.

He has completely become another person!

Could it be... he has transmigrated himself?

Besides the mirror whose placement was obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books beside it.

Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly left him speechless.

"Beginner Caretaker's Essential Beast‑Raising Manual"

《Postpartum Care for Pets》

《Guide to Evaluating Beast-Eared Girls of Different Species》

Shi Yu:???

The titles of the first two books are still normal, but what's up with the last one?

「Cough。」

Shi Yu's gaze turned serious, he reached out his hand, but soon his arm stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged like a tide.

I provide you with the high martial arts puppet of a god being manipulated; I have a Synthesis Slot.
