Swallowed Star: Drawing Talents

The Zerg God Sect, on Violet Island.

Outside Yang Wu's palace stood the palaces of various race inheritors, yet these palaces were now packed with people, be they Immortals or Venerables.

They were either from the pinnacle races or solitary special lifeforms, all now gazing at the ordinary palace beside the distant river.

These powerhouses watched silently; though they didn't interfere, they didn't mind watching a great battle.

In the primal universe, there was an eternally timeless truth: only the strong deserved ownership of treasures.

These inheritors had long guessed that the First Peak Treasure would be very attractive to those great forces; of course, if not for the constraints of the Zerg God Sect's rules, these solitary individuals or powerhouses from other forces would probably have made their move first.

Each palace situated on Violet Island was the residence of a Zerg God Sect inheritor, the only place where inheritors possessed absolute security.

Other inheritors were forbidden from trespassing; any trespass would be met with an instant annihilation by the Five-Colored Aurora Lake's attack.

And with the emergence of Qing Li King from the Human Hong Alliance, the three neighboring pinnacle races would certainly not sit idly by and watch Qing Li King grow; it was just a matter of who couldn't hold back first.

Hiding within their palaces, the Universe Venerables, with ulterior motives, could easily observe Qing Li King's residence, and they all possessed great patience at this moment.

One day, two days, three days...

Time slowly passed, leaving the constantly watching Universe Venerables and King-level inheritors speechless. "Could it be that Qing Li King intends to remain holed up in his residence on Violet Island forever, never to come out?"

"But he at least has to go and accept the inheritance; to accept the inheritance, he has to go to the inheritance passage in front of the Island Lord's palace, so he definitely has to leave his residence."

Even the inheritors waiting to watch the excitement and hoping to scavenge for scraps were puzzled, but the fact was that Yang Wu had not come out since returning from the treasure land.

Virtual Universe, Hong Alliance City.

These days, Yang Wu hadn't done much; he was just getting acquainted with some of the Hong Alliance's inheritors in a tavern outside Hong Alliance City.

Chaman King, Li Shuo King, Seven Swords King, Gan Yu King, and so on.

The Hong Alliance had very few inheritors in the Zerg God Sect; including several powerful races within the Hong Alliance, the total number of inheritors was only about five thousand powerhouses.

After all—

The Beast God inheritance was just one path to becoming a powerhouse; within this Zerg God Sect, the Human Hong Alliance was only weaker, only representing the weakness of the Hong Alliance's Beast God inheritance lineage.

Now, more than ten days had passed since Yang Wu left the treasure land and returned to his palace residence; the alien powerhouses on Violet Island with ulterior motives were all extremely patient, cursing anxiously but still waiting.

Those inheritors who were prepared to watch the excitement had long given up, each going to do what they needed to do.

Violet Island.

Inside a quiet room within Yang Wu's palace, a hazy light lit up, and Yang Wu abruptly appeared.

"Speaking of which, more than half a month has passed; those aliens preparing to watch the show probably are still waiting, right? Should I go out and feint them?"

Yang Wu smiled, walked out of the quiet room, and looked towards the palace gate.

Suddenly—

A voice sounded in his ear: "Yang Wu."

"Hmm?"

Yang Wu exclaimed in surprise; upon hearing the voice, he immediately turned his head to look, only to see a figure appearing out of thin air in his palace courtyard.

This was a humanoid alien powerhouse, about dozens of meters tall, with six arms and thick legs; his head had a face on both the front and back.

The front face was fair and appeared very benevolent, with a smile that involuntarily influenced people; the back face was dark, very ferocious, and filled with baleful aura.

Each of his six arms grasped a short staff; the short staffs had four edges, somewhat similar to the style of weapons in Earth's history.

Of these six, three were black and three were white; at the same time, each black and white staff had an aura flowing, forming black and white air current loops—Dual-Faced Zerg God!

At this moment, that fair, benevolent face looked at Yang Wu, making him feel as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.

"Greetings, Zerg God."

Yang Wu immediately approached and respectfully saluted.

Being directly exposed, Yang Wu didn't feel surprised; the Zerg Gods had close contact with the origin will, and coupled with the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, a supreme treasure, it wasn't difficult to see through his true identity.

"That First Treasure was the Violet Ridge Palace of the Violet Vast Master, which I placed when opening the treasure land; after endless Luo Moon epochs, I originally thought no one would be able to open it," the Dual-Faced Zerg God said with a hint of a smile.

"Thank you, Zerg God, for the treasure."

Yang Wu repeatedly expressed his gratitude; although the Violet Ridge Palace was the treasure of the Violet Vast Master, it was left behind by the Dual-Faced Zerg God.

In fact, Yang Wu wasn't very surprised by the appearance of the Zerg God; after all, this was a top-tier palace treasure, and if there was no reaction after he obtained it, it would be strange.

And the fact that the Dual-Faced Zerg God could watch him send the treasure back to the human territory further illustrated the other party's attitude.

A top-tier treasure was of great significance to Yang Wu; even the human race wouldn't be so generous in bestowing it. Although this could be said to be Yang Wu's opportunity, it could also be considered a favor.

"Haha, speaking of which, when I placed this treasure, I never intended for anyone to obtain it, but I was very surprised that someone could actually do it,"

"Oh?" Yang Wu was somewhat curious; could it be that the conditions left in the information weren't comprehensive? What exactly were the conditions that made the Dual-Faced Zerg God feel that no one could open it?

However, the Dual-Faced Zerg God didn't directly explain, but instead spoke of other things: "I've looked at your information; your cultivation time is very short, and your progress can be described as rapid."

The Dual-Faced Zerg God smiled as he looked at Yang Wu: "Moreover, compared to the Dao of Space-Time, your progress in the Dao of the Beast God is even more surprising."

"The three opening conditions of the First Treasure are all very difficult when separated, let alone combined," the Dual-Faced Zerg God said with a face full of smiles, obviously very satisfied with Yang Wu.

"But the most crucial thing is the hidden condition that truly determines the opening of the treasure; do you know what condition I set?" the Dual-Faced Zerg God asked.

"I don't know," Yang Wu shook his head.

"Our Zerg God Sect is the guardian of the laws of the universe's operation, the spokesperson of the primal universe's origin will, and as Zerg Gods, we can communicate with the universe's origin will,"

The Dual-Faced Zerg God said softly: "Therefore, when I left the Violet Ridge Palace in the treasure land, even if the three surface conditions were met, but the hidden condition wasn't met, the treasure could not be opened in the end."

"But conversely, as long as the final hidden condition is met, the first three conditions can be completely ignored, and the First Treasure can still be opened directly."

Yang Wu was speechless; if these three conditions were useless, then why set them up?

"Haha, those were just things I set up casually; I didn't expect someone to actually meet them."

The Dual-Faced Zerg God laughed: "The most crucial hidden condition is to look at the reaction of the universe's origin will; if you can gain the favor of the universe's origin will, the treasure will naturally open."

"The primal universe nurtures countless lives; these lives are like the children of the universe, loved by the universe. From the weak all the way to the Universe Lord, the primal universe has always been gracious during this long stage."

"This is the primal universe's gift to all life, and the fact that you can obtain the Violet Ridge Palace proves that you are the one among countless inheritors who has received the universe's special favor, just like our Zerg God Sect can receive the universe's favor; this kind of personal favor is even more special."

"This alone represents that your potential is stronger than anyone imagines; our Zerg God Sect hopes you grow, and when your strength rivals the Chaos City Lord of your human race in the future, our Zerg God Sect will have a Guardian God Master position for you."

Yang Wu was a little stunned.

The origin will's special favor?

If you really say that, it's true; receiving gifts from the origin will twice in a row is indeed considered favor.

For countless lives in the primal universe, the universe's origin will's favor can surpass everything.

Talent? Within the primal universe, all life is nurtured by the universe; the so-called "talent" is also bestowed by the universe.

Opportunity? The countless treasures of the primal universe are basically nurtured by the primal universe; the treasures you seek but cannot obtain!

Are very likely to be casually nurtured by the universe.

Being favored by the origin will, whether it is a race or an individual life, will enjoy endless benefits.

Just like the countless treasures in the Zerg God Mystic Realm, all exclusively controlled by the Zerg God Sect, is because it is favored by the primal universe's will.

And the three Zerg Gods of the Zerg God Sect, although they are only Universe Lords, under the deliberate favoritism of the universe's origin will, are given the Zerg Gods the same privileges as the strongest, where their words become law.

Although they can never break through to True God, as long as they are in the primal universe, the True God battle power is bestowed by the primal universe's origin with the strongest level of talent secret techniques.

Looking at the Dual-Faced Zerg God's amiable face, Yang Wu now understood why the Dual-Faced Zerg God would put a top-tier palace treasure on the highest peak.

It turned out that this was not prepared for outsiders at all, but a life-saving treasure prepared for the future Guardian God Master of the Zerg God Sect.

No wonder he was so generous!

"Perhaps you don't know much about the Guardian God Master."

The Dual-Faced Zerg God looked at Yang Wu and explained: "The Zerg God Sect is divided into formal members and peripheral members, and the real fighting is more often relied on by the peripheral members, which is also the most powerful military organization in the universe."

Yang Wu nodded.

"Although there are only more than three thousand formal members of the Zerg God Sect, the peripheral members are countless peerless geniuses collected from billions of races throughout the universe."

"Apart from the Candidate God Envoys being King-level limit strength, like Candidate God Generals and Beast God inheritors who have reached a very high inheritance (above five levels), many can be considered Universe Overlords."

"The Guardian God Master is the highest level among the peripheral members of the Zerg God Sect, and their status can be compared to the Beast Gods of the formal members,"

"Each has several Universe Lords under them."

The Zerg God looked at Yang Wu and said: "Yang Wu, would you like to join the peripheral organization of my Zerg God Sect?

"The peripheral organization has always been very free, with no constraints usually, and only when my Zerg God Sect has some matters that need to be resolved,"

"Will orders be issued."

"Moreover, since you are human, you will definitely not be asked to deal with the human race, and you can even refuse to carry out a certain mission; as long as you explain the reason, the Zerg God Sect will not forcibly demand it."

"Of course, I also understand your situation; you are often targeted by the Zerg, Monster, and Mechanical races, so the Zerg God Sect will not release any tasks to you before your strength is sufficient."

"You can use this Destroyer Beast clone's identity to join the Zerg God Sect; as long as you don't actively expose it, the Zerg God Sect will always keep it secret for you."

"I am willing to join."

Yang Wu said without thinking; it was good to cultivate while serving in the government; having the identity of a peripheral member of the Zerg God Sect could save him a lot of trouble.

Moreover, once the Beast God inheritance is fully accepted above the fifth level, it is necessary to join the peripheral organization of the Zerg God Sect; it may not be a bad thing to be personally invited to join by the Zerg God now.

"Good." A hint of a smile appeared on the Dual-Faced Zerg God's fair, benevolent face; he conjured a black token out of thin air and handed it to Yang Wu.

"This is the Zerg God Token."

Yang Wu took the token; it was cold to the touch; there were only two words on this black token; this font was composed of countless secret patterns, but it could make people know at a glance that it was the word "Zerg God."

"After imprinting your life mark into it, you can contact the Zerg God Sect through this Zerg God Token; the Zerg God Sect also releases tasks through the Zerg God Token; as long as you are within the universe, you can contact through the Zerg God Token."

The Dual-Faced Zerg God said with a smile: "Of course, this can't be compared to your human race's virtual universe; the Zerg God Token is limited to text communication."

"Understood." Yang Wu immediately imprinted his life mark into it.

The Dual-Faced Zerg God nodded with a smile, looking very pleased; although Yang Wu's current strength was not strong enough in his opinion, his potential was still above Zi Yu Venerable and Chasing Insect King.

But Yang Wu's cultivation path was not mainly focused on the Beast God Dao; maybe he would go back to study the Space-Time Dao and no longer come to Violet Island.

If he didn't invite him to join in advance, this future peerless powerhouse might just run away, and the price to pay would be greater the further it went.

"Haha, since you have joined my Zerg God Sect, you can also have some benefits."

The Dual-Faced Zerg God looked at Yang Wu: "You should have also heard that Chasing Insect King was publicly bestowed two treasures; you just got the First Treasure, so I won't bestow anything to you anymore."

"This Zerg God Token has partial mobilization permission for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake; although you can't use it to attack, you can use it to defend against assassinations."

Yang Wu's heart was pounding; the benefits he had received this time were too great, and he was not very interested in the rewards mentioned by the Zerg God, which were at most treasures at the level of ordinary treasures.

Chasing Insect King, the top three inheritors of the Zerg God Sect, was bestowed a full two treasures by the Zerg God Sect when he officially joined the Zerg God Sect.

But Yang Wu was different.

He was first and foremost a member of the Human Hong Alliance, and his first object of loyalty was the Hong Alliance, which was the human race, and then a peripheral member of the Zerg God Sect, which determined that the Zerg God Sect could not give him too much favor.

Chasing Insect King had not joined any other forces, and had no other miscellaneous power backgrounds; his first object of loyalty was the Zerg God Sect, so he received such preferential treatment.

Good things will eventually be kept for one's own people; only those who are completely loyal to the Zerg God Sect will receive the best treatment.

This extra reward.

Did make Yang Wu feel a little surprised; he, a newly joined external member, actually had partial mobilization permission for the Five-Colored Aurora Lake; although it could only be used for defense, this at least showed the Zerg God Sect's attention to him "Alright, I won't disturb you anymore!

"Next, I will arrange for someone to announce your official joining."

Having achieved his purpose, the two-faced Ancestral God decided not to linger. After giving Yang Wu a few instructions, he quietly left the courtyard.

"Guardian God Lord..."

Yang Wu squeezed the Ancestral God Token in his hand, a strange glint in his eyes.
