Chapter 171: Stellar Transformations

At this moment, whether it is Zhou Yang's main body or his doppelganger, the Divine Power conversion has already finished, yet he can't even bother to check.

Because the Meteor Tear seal on his chest is undergoing an astonishing change right now! "Boom—"

In the void, endless Divine Power seawater, like a celestial river rolling, raged and poured backward into that tiny seal.

Within a brief moment, the amount of Divine Power seawater the Meteor Tear seal absorbed already far exceeds the total amount his main body and all doppelgangers have absorbed!

Moreover, the process keeps continuing!

At the same time, that shallow crystal‑shaped Meteor Tear seal began to slowly writhe and melt! The process is extremely slow; first the seal's outer shape twists gradually, as if a shell is slowly melting.

It first melted into a single golden droplet, and as the endless Divine Power seawater poured in, that golden drop further broke down into a wisp of golden mist containing endless ancient aura.

"Hoo‑hoo‑hoo—"

The golden mist drifted slowly outward, revealing a cluster of multicolored radiance wrapped inside.

"Chi‑chi‑chi~"

After shedding the golden mist's coating, the multicolored radiance quickly melted and broke into countless dense tiny multicolored light specks.

Then, those countless specks began to seep into Zhou Yang's Divine Body.

After attaining Immortality, the Soul Imprint merged into every fragment of Divine Power, and those multicolored light specks merged into each fragment of his Divine Body, simultaneously merging into each fragment of his Soul Imprint! An incomparably profound torrent of information exploded instantly in the depths of his consciousness! In that moment, he seemed to see the universe's metamorphosis, the endless Chaos power being Swallowed and broken down, turning into the primordial energies of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, Yang, and Thunder.

The Five Elements rotate, erecting the framework of space; Yin and Yang alternate, forming the measure of time; thunder and lightning act as punishment, establishing order and balance.

When all this is complete, endless life begins to be born, the whole world moves into prosperity and, after endless ages, falls into decline.

Zhou Yang feels as if he has become a universe, sequentially experiencing the universe's opening, life's evolution, and the world's prosperity and decay.

Endless laws' mysteries continuously surge in the depths of his consciousness "Boom—"

The ocean of laws that enveloped the endless Xingkong receded slowly, as if the scene of the celestial river backflow also faded slowly.

Yet Zhou Yang's figure remained seated in lotus posture, silently perceiving the countless flashes of insight constantly surfacing in the depths of his consciousness.

Only after a long while did his eyes slowly open.

"I truly never could have imagined this!"

At this moment, his expression is striking—part shock, part delight, part incomprehension. At the instant he broke through to Immortality, the Meteor Tear that had accompanied him since his crossing, which he treated as his greatest trump card, silently melted open.

It is also at this moment that he discovered a long‑standing cognitive blind spot of his.

The Meteor Tear he obtained may no longer be merely a tear of life soul from the Life God King Zuo Qiumei! Because within the multicolored radiance formed after the Meteor Tear melted, he received a mysterious message far beyond any of his imagination—

It is a cultivation technique, a powerful practice called "Stellar Transformations"!

Indeed, in the Stellar Transformation World, the protagonist Qin Yu's greatest destiny—the 'Stellar Transformations' technique capable of carving out a mighty universe— is exactly that. Moreover, it is already perfectly refined, allowing cultivation all the way to the Hong Meng Controller Realm. The cultivation systems of the two worlds are similar yet not identical; the Hong Meng Controller of the Stellar Transformation World corresponds to which level of Swallowing Universe, Zhou Yang cannot make a clear judgment.

However, judging from the experience of becoming a universe, wielding endless Chaos and life's evolution that he just felt in his consciousness, it is far beyond this world's Universe Supreme! Though a Universe Supreme can also carve out a Small Universe, achieving Words Become Law, causing the Original Universe's rules to retreat.

Yet clearly it still cannot achieve the level of Chaos's evolution to create life!

"How on earth did this Meteor Tear come to me?"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but ponder deeply.

In his previous life, when he read novels featuring powerful "golden fingers", he often had such doubts. Because some novels, even at the end, never explained the origin of the "golden finger".

If one cannot even figure out the origin of one's own "golden finger", it shows the protagonist's exploration of the world is far from its limit, let alone standing at the world's "summit".

Such a protagonist is probably like a 'fish' in a powerful being's 'fishbowl', constantly subject to that being's idle observation and amusement.

Zhou Yang does not want to become such a person! "It actually contains the complete 'Stellar Transformations' technique; could it have been left by Qin Yu? Yet the book never described such a scene."

"Could it be that I'll still have a chance to meet Qin Yu in the future? This is a world of Swallowed Star, this… this is like a random intrusion."

"Moreover, if that's true, is my crossing artificial? What purpose does this behind‑the‑scenes existence have?"

Zhou Yang's expression kept shifting, yet in the end he felt a deep helplessness.

The entire Meteor Tear has completely merged into his consciousness; this cause-and-effect is now fully bound to him, impossible to escape. "Thinking about this now is useless; regardless, strength is the foundation of everything. As long as I keep getting stronger, one day I'll uncover all the truth!"

Zhou Yang's consciousness gradually steadied.

He no longer overthinks, and begins silently sensing the boost from this breakthrough.

His main body is at a Perfect Gene Level 10,081 times the base; after the breakthrough, his Divine Body directly reaches a level of 1,000,000,000 times Realm Lord power! Generally, the most ordinary Universe Venerable is only about 10,000,000 times Realm Lord power.

Even if they try various ways to raise their Life Gene Level, they usually only increase a few times.

Take Luo Feng's teacher, Zhen Yan King, who is among the top tier of Human Race Seal King Immortals; he only barely raised his Life Gene Level to tenfold, and only after breaking through to Venerable did his Divine Body reach 100,000,000 times Realm Lord.

A Divine Body at 1,000,000,000 times Realm Lord power is already formidable among the entire Universe Venerable population! Moreover, there is that one Venerable doppelganger; aside from the ancient god doppelganger, the other 108 Clones were re‑differentiated after his main body reached Perfect Gene Level, each Clone's Life Gene Level also reached 1,000 times.

After the 108 Clones break Immortality, their Divine Bodies also reach 100,000,000 times Realm Lord power, comparable to most ordinary Venerables! As for the ancient god Clone, it can be considered just a filler.

"Unfortunately, even though I'm the largest main body, my Divine Body's height is only over 90,000 km, far smaller than Luo Feng's Sea of Darkness Clone's diameter of hundreds of billions of km."

The 1,000,000,000 times Realm Lord power refers to the Divine Body's 'quality'; in this aspect, he has already reached the current stage's limit.

However, in terms of the Divine Body's 'quantity', his over‑90,000‑km size, though already surpassing most special beings in the universe, pales compared to Luo Feng's grotesque Sea of Darkness Clone that directly possesses a diameter of hundreds of billions of km.

"However, battles between strong ones rarely deplete Divine Power completely; a Divine Body over 90,000 km is generally sufficient."

Imagine, with his Immortal Divine Body at 1,000,000,000 times Gene Level, burning Divine Power to unleash the Strongest Talent Secret Art 'Light of Annihilation', even most Universe Overlords would be unable to resist!

Add the further 'Qian Kun Power' after the breakthrough. Unless he meets a being above Universe Master level, Zhou Yang likely won't reach a point where Divine Power is exhausted! When he is at World Master Level, activating the Qiankun World can to some extent achieve control over space‑time.

Now he has broken through Immortality and fully comprehended the Eight Lower Laws.

If he uses Immortal Divine Power to drive a more perfected 'Qiankun World', how powerful it could become, even Zhou Yang himself cannot judge.

Perhaps it already suffices to possess a degree of true 'Control of Space‑Time' power!

"And the most important one."

Zhou Yang's gaze flickered, and astonishing divine light inside began to surge continuously.

He recalled that just‑now overwhelming state of mastering everything, his blood nearly boiling! "If this 'Stellar Transformations' technique can be successfully cultivated, then I will truly be fearless!"
