Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 87 The First Immortal Servant

three days later.

It is 10 light-years away from Stonehill Star.

Perseus descended upon a mining planet, and with a simple snap of his fingers, everyone on the planet fell into a deep sleep, unable to wake up for at least several months.

He then took out a folding base and temporarily settled down on this mining planet.

It was assumed that since the Lord of the Shattered Ridge Realm had been attacked, the ancestor of the Silica Clan would allow him to stay with him for a while for safety reasons.

Who knew this immortal would do things completely unpredictably—

"Cuba has met its master."

The Lord of the Shattered Ridge Realm, Cuba, arrived even faster than he had imagined.

After parting ways with the progenitor of the silica race, he wandered around outside for a while to make sure everything was alright, and then immediately returned to reunite with Perseus.

However, Perseus was clearly more concerned with other issues at this point.

"So, what level has your understanding of the laws reached?"

As he spoke, he looked at the space between Cuba's eyebrows. The earthy yellow lines indicated that he had already gained the recognition of the Law of Earth, but it did not mean that he was about to break through.

Perseus was genuinely worried that the person he had chosen was still on the path to understanding the Laws of Earth...

However, this time he was clearly overthinking things.

"Master, I am only one step away from mastering the complete fundamental laws of earth."

"Does that mean you can break through as long as you master the rules?"

Perseus's eyes lit up, and seeing Cuba nod, a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

"Haha, it's great that you broke through!"

"I happen to have a secret realm that left behind a method that can guide the strong to resonate with the universe. It should be able to help you take the final step and break through to immortality."

Upon hearing this, Cuba looked up abruptly. "Really?"

Even when he was being controlled, he still retained a part of his own thinking.

Breaking through to immortality not only means an increase in his status within his clan, but also granting him eternal lifespan, which is what every realm lord most desires and wants to achieve.

"Master, I'll go there with you."

"Even if there is danger, as long as it allows me to break through, I'm willing to accept the risks."

It's unwise to make promises about things you're not sure about.

Perseus is currently unsure of the success rate of the breakthrough. The reason he didn't save his old subordinates for the task is that he intended to use them as cannon fodder to pave the way.

However, before leaving the silica empire, it's still necessary to plant a few more nails.

"Cuba, please help me collect some more things."

"I have a way to create bloodline treasures to help the Silica Clan improve their life gene level. Try to trick some clansmen at the Domain Lord or Realm Lord level over here. I plan to have a good talk with them."

The subsequent plan proceeded without any mishaps.

With Cuba's involvement, not only the domain lords of his branch, but also the five invited realm lords, except for one who was unable to leave, all became interested in the genetic treasure.

Of course, they did indeed see the genetic treasure.

As soon as they saw the treasure, a burst of pink mist suddenly erupted in the hall of the private gathering and quickly spread outwards, knocking down all the powerful members of the silica race and completing the most important step in eroding the silica empire.

"A quarter of the world lords of the master's royal family are here."

"A quarter?"

Perseus quickly began to calculate.

Including Cuba, there are a total of 5 Realm Lords occupying a quarter of the total, making a total of 20 Realm Lords.

As long as enough poison is left for these realm lords, and combined with the Soul-Binding Wood Seal, the continuous splitting will complete the erosion of the Stone Silicon Empire.

However, it's too early to discuss this now.

Funding from the puzzle system isn't a problem for him, but without the assistance of an immortal god to teleport to his divine kingdom, the speed of his infiltration will still be affected.

Therefore, Perseus felt even more urgent.

He hastily assigned a few tasks to the newly enslaved silica people, then took Cuba and left, heading straight for a more distant intermediate-level civilization in the universe, launching a series of attacks to create chaos and kidnapping dozens of realm lords in one go.

……

"Walk!!!"

A terrifying burst of fire rippled through the void, and a long ribbon flew out swiftly, colliding with a spear in the distance.

The immortal pursuer was abruptly stopped.

The figure clad in dark red armor suddenly flashed forward, rushing into the spaceship ahead and disappearing into the dark universe.

"Damn it, where did this ruthless person come from?"

Those who frequently kill realm lords know that repeatedly killing high-ranking members in the same intermediate civilization can easily cause panic and may even offend immortals.

In order to help Cuba break through, the frequency of their attacks has increased, and the possibility of being discovered has naturally increased as well.

This was the fifth time Perseus had been intercepted by an immortal powerhouse.

In his most dangerous encounter, Perseus faced two high-ranking military leaders, and not only was he held back, but Cuba was also nearly killed.

Although Perseus eventually managed to extract the person into his inner world and escape, he became even more wary.

There aren't many World Lords who are about to break through to the peak.

Those who cultivate the fundamental laws of earth, like Cuba, need to apply even more discounts on their previous foundations.

To avoid his accidental demise, Perseus did not bring any men with him in his subsequent attacks, but instead went alone to kill the world lords of the various empires.

Fortunately, those days of constant vigilance are finally over.

Once they had gathered enough people, Perseus immediately led a ship full of World Lords to meet up with Cuba, who was hiding on the desolate planet. Together, they headed to the 'Mysterious Realm of Xuanhuang' that they had visited before.

……

Before the empty void, where not a speck of dust could be seen.

"Do not resist."

Perseus raised his hand and pressed it forward. With a flash of yellow light, the secret realm that he had sealed off opened, and a vortex appeared in the void in front of him.

One after another, all the realm lords flew into the secret realm.

This time, thanks to the core control crystal, the group quickly entered the stone wall and saw the strange corpses lurking around them.

"There are 32 gaps in the body."

"Besides myself and Cuba, there are 40 realm lords who came this time."

Perseus turned his head and looked at the many realm lords present.

"Who among you will sacrifice themselves?"

Everyone stepped forward.

However, since not many realm lords were needed—a total of eight empires—Perseus reserved a realm lord for each empire he was going to invade. These realm lords were usually kept out of the public eye and secretly controlled by him.

Subsequently, they were all transformed into Earth Soul Corpses.

The instant all the pits were filled with corpses, a circle of yellow light spread out, enhancing the perception of the laws of earth even without actually initiating the ritual.

"This place is actually suitable for raising earth-attribute beasts."

Perseus ignored the sacrificed world lord and led Cuba directly to the central altar.

The other eight people then withdrew.

He also took out the control crystal of this secret realm, started the ritual, and controlled all the earth spirit corpses to dance the "Shiva Karma Dance".

"Boom! Boom!!! Boom!!"

Countless black gusts of air raged across the sky.

Within his field of vision, concentric circles of earthy yellow ripples vibrated and danced around Cuba, overlapping each other to transform him into a stone statue out of thin air.

When the black air currents and earthen-yellow ripples all flowed into the stone statue.

"Click..."

A faint cracking sound rang in everyone's ears, accompanied by a terrifying aura that erupted along with the shattering fragments.
