Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 47 All Emperors Are Losers

Time flies by like flowing water.

Two days later.

Suk received another message from Liumira.

"Master, Hail and I parted ways at the end, but I estimate he succeeded."

Suk couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face.

"It's a success." As expected, with the help of the cosmic-level Liu Mira, there was no way it would fail.

Now, he's going to have two cosmic-level servants under his command?

Thinking back to half a year ago, I was just a weak apprentice on an ordinary planet, living a life at the bottom of society, with a future I could only see as bleak, barely scraping by. Now, I have two cosmic-level slaves. It feels like a dream.

Suk sent a message to Hayel, telling him to meet him in the virtual universe once he had no further questions.

He was still very curious about how Hail became "Emperor".

Just then, the luminous stone gate that stood majestically above the abyss suddenly began to dim and began to vibrate slightly.

"Oh, look! What happened to the stone gate?"

"This... I remember this phenomenon. It has occurred in history. Whenever someone inside seizes the opportunity to become an emperor, this phenomenon will appear at the stone gate."

"What? Someone became an emperor? And it's only been four months!"

"Who is it? Who has become emperor?"

The strange phenomenon at the stone gate greatly alarmed the various forces gathered around it.

The shaking of the stone gate soon stopped, but the light continued to dim slowly.

The old man in the golden robe frowned as he watched this scene, his chiseled face showing little emotion.

Seeing his clansmen in turmoil, he immediately became serious and shouted, "Quiet! Emperor Cheng has nothing to do with you. Quickly calm down and contemplate this!"

A middle-aged man in a silver robe asked with a worried expression, "Clan leader, a new emperor has been born and will likely emerge soon. Even if we continue our cultivation, what if the new emperor intends to seize this place and prevent us from staying..."

The city lord of Gulei remained as steady as Mount Tai, calmly saying, "Rest assured, none of the Great Emperors who come out of there will actively obstruct us who are seeking enlightenment."

It's not that every emperor is so magnanimous, but rather that they seem to be bound by some constraint from the Stone Gate, and are not allowed to take action against the cultivators in this place within a year.

In any case, no great emperor in history has ever done this.

Hearing the clan leader's confident words, the other clan members felt reassured and continued to calmly contemplate and cultivate.

Other forces, however, did not know as many secrets as the Gulei clan and could not remain as indifferent as they were.

They stared at the stone gate with excited and nervous expressions, discussing which faction had become the lucky one, their words filled with envy and jealousy.

Moreover, the period ahead will not be peaceful, because the Great Emperor has emerged, and those who entered from all sides will return one after another, including the Great Emperor whose whereabouts are still unknown... It is conceivable that few forces can remain at peace now.

With the emergence of the Great Emperor, all people submit, and unifying the world becomes an easy matter.

Some factions have already begun discussing how to pledge allegiance should the emperor not be one of their own.

The scene was lively, but Suk was the calmest, because he knew who "The Emperor" was.

These forces were completely unaware that this time, not just one, but two unprecedented "Emperors" had been born! And they were both his servants.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Suk received a reply from Hayel and entered the virtual universe.

It was still on that bridge, but this time only Suk and Hail met.

Hail's eyes seemed different now, but his attitude towards Suk remained respectful, clearly indicating that he knew who his master was.

Suk breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Hail would lose control inside. He guessed that the Emperor was at the cosmic level because one needed to comprehend a domain to become a domain lord, but he was afraid that something might happen.

In the vast universe, the method of controlling slaves by implanting biochips can at most control "cosmic level nine" slaves. This is because once a master breaks through to the domain lord level, the domain lord can completely destroy the chip by shattering his own head and survive. Therefore, the highest level of slaves sold outside is only cosmic level nine.

If Hail really breaks free from chip control, that would be terrible.

Fortunately, his fears did not come true.

"Hayr, tell me what happened," Suk asked immediately after looking Hayr over.

"Yes, Master," Hail replied respectfully, then began to ponder, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

Then his first words stunned Suk.

"Master, all the so-called emperors of this planet are losers."

"What do you mean?" Suk asked, though he had various guesses in his mind.

Hail said, "Master, with Liumira's help, I was the first to arrive at the legendary location of the Emperor's destiny. However, perhaps because Liumira broke through to the cosmic level and couldn't enter, I ended up going in alone..." He showed a reminiscing expression. "It was completely dark there, and even with my star-level vision, I couldn't see anything. As soon as I entered, I was controlled by an invisible force and couldn't move. Then, after some time, a voice came from the darkness, and he said..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "...another opportunistic loser."

Suk listened quietly, his eyes flickering.

Hail continued, "I felt that the voice wasn't like a normal life form, but rather like some kind of intelligence, perhaps even with emotions? But I still didn't know what it was. Then a beam of light descended from the sky and landed on me, and I fell into a coma. When I woke up, several days had passed since I came in, and then I discovered that I had broken through!" He revealed an excited and joyful expression. "I broke through to the Cosmic Level, and not just the first level, but the ninth level!"

Suk was taken aback!

A ninth-tier cosmic level? The opportunity within this stone gate could actually elevate a celestial being to the ninth tier of the cosmic level in an instant? This was completely beyond his expectations!

No wonder the history of Planet Gulei says that the Great Emperor is invincible. A ninth-level cosmic-level being is a thousand times stronger than a ninth-level constant-star being!

A ninth-tier cosmic-level being! Only one cosmic-level being is born from countless planets during normal evolution. A ninth-tier cosmic-level powerhouse can destroy a continental plate with a single punch, and under certain circumstances, attacking the ocean can even trigger a massive tsunami that sweeps across the globe! Their maximum speed in space can reach 1500 kilometers per second! A ninth-tier cosmic-level being is enough to dominate an entire galaxy! Even the strongest beings in some early-stage cosmic civilizations are probably only at the ninth tier of the cosmic-level.

The Blood Spring Society, which seems powerful enough to force Suk to leave his homeland, only has a strongest member at the ninth level of the Universe.

"But..." Hail then gave a bitter smile. "I was too happy too soon. That voice in the darkness told me again that I had directly advanced to the ninth level of the Universe level through a special method. Although it was rapid, there is no hope of breaking through to the next level using this method. In other words, I will be stuck at the ninth level of the Universe level forever."

Hail's words shook Suk to his core.

So, those who become "Emperors" through this method can never break through to the next level?

This secret is astonishing; no wonder they say that all emperors are failures.

More importantly, the voice in the darkness described by Hail further convinced Suk that this planet had an unusual origin and likely held a great secret!
