Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent-Chapter 271 : Continent-Wide Impact

Chapter 271: Continent-Wide Impact

“How many eras?”

Emperor Qing’s expression lit up with joy. “Just send a transmission when you're ready to depart.”

“Alright.” Luo Feng nodded.

The five present had exhausted their interest and quickly dispersed.

Apart from Luo Feng, the other four focused mainly on exploring beyond the Source World.

……

At that moment, in Huyang City, countless cultivators within the city were in utter shock as they gazed at the colossal claw supporting the entire city. Each of its five talons stretched into five continuous mountain ranges.

“What on earth is going on?”

“Why is Huyang City flying?!”

The cultivators in the city, including disciples of the Blade River Sect, were all deeply shaken and confused.

The Divine Kings of the Origin Continent could guess some of the truth, but ordinary disciples of the Blade River Sect knew little about the Divine King realm. All they knew was that their Sect Master, “Divine King Luo He,” was a powerful figure on the Origin Continent—yet even so, not on the same level as the Emperors or Monarchs of the two Ancient Kingdoms.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the grand hall of the Blade River Sect headquarters, all upper echelons had gathered.

“Sect Master.”

“Master.”

Luo Feng sat at the head seat, with Morosa and Yuan seated on either side. Standing behind them were Chaos Realm elders like Moyu Qingyan, Xinyu, and other guest elders. Further back stood a group of registered disciples.

“I’ve gathered you all here today to announce a few matters,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “First, the enormous claw appearing outside is in fact a secret treasure I’ve refined. The World-in-Palm is cut off from the outside world—even causality is severed. Not even Divine Kings of the Ultimate Realm can perceive a single trace.”

“Not even the Ultimate Realm can perceive anything?” The high-level members of the Blade River Sect immediately realized how terrifying such a statement was.

“Second,” Luo Feng continued, “Elder Luo Sa is, in fact, a peak Realm Beast with power at the Divine King Ultimate Realm.”

“Huh?”

Many disciples in the hall were stunned.

“Second Master is a Realm Beast?” Moyu Qingyan looked at Morosa in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that the Second Master he had known since Huyang City—the one who always ate, drank, and chattered while guiding his cultivation—was actually an existence at the Divine King Ultimate Realm.

Morosa winked at Moyu Qingyan, then swept his gaze around the hall and grinned.

I, Morosa, can finally reveal my true strength.

“Third,” said Luo Feng, “I have another identity. I am also the Galaxy Ruler.”

Everyone in the hall was frozen.

Yuan remained calm, but the other elders and disciples were dumbfounded.

“The one who set the laws of the Origin Continent, who caused even several Emperors and Monarchs from the two Ancient Kingdoms to perish... the Galaxy Ruler? That’s our Master?” Moyu Qingyan, Xinyu, and many registered disciples felt their hearts tremble.

Who was the Galaxy Ruler?

Currently, the three most revered beings on the Origin Continent were—the Flame Wind Ancestor, Thunder Ancestor, and the Galaxy Ancestor.

Yes, countless cultivators now referred to the Galaxy Ruler as the “Galaxy Ancestor.” He was admired and worshipped across the continent. It was the Galaxy Ancestor who had eradicated the emergence of great sinners.

For weaker cultivators, the threat of such great sinners was too immense.

One might be living peacefully, only for an entire tribe to be plundered and devoured one day. Entire cities could vanish. Such unpredictable “catastrophes” were feared by many. In the past, they could only endure it—if it happened, they were just unlucky.

But the Galaxy Ancestor established laws that eliminated these calamities, fundamentally altering the fate of countless beings—naturally earning their gratitude.

“From now on,” said Luo Feng, “the territory governed by the Milky Way Divine Kingdom will also include the territory where the Blade River Sect is located. The total territory has now expanded to 1,019 Chaos States.”

Ever since he had become comparable to the Ancestors of the Two Kingdoms, small neighboring nations had willingly submitted to the Milky Way Divine Kingdom, further expanding its domain. Adding the Blade River Sect’s 155 Chaos States, the count had officially surpassed one thousand.

“In every Chaos State within the Milky Way Divine Kingdom’s territory, the Blade River Sect will establish a branch,” Luo Feng announced.

The Blade River Sect’s high-level members all realized…

The Blade River Sect might very well become the number one sect on the Origin Continent!

The core ruling power of the two Ancient Kingdoms was the royal clan. But in the Milky Way Divine Kingdom, Luo Feng had no massive royal clan bloodline—he instead devoted himself to nurturing Blade River Sect disciples.

Without a doubt—

The many disciples of the Blade River Sect were the core force ruling the vast territory of the Milky Way Divine Kingdom.

In the future, the status of the Blade River Sect would likely rival that of the royal clans of the two Ancient Kingdoms.

“What I’ve shared today doesn’t need to be kept secret. You may inform all disciples within the sect,” Luo Feng said with a smile.

“Yes,” the entire hall responded.

Luo Feng then stood. “The upcoming matters of the Milky Way Divine Kingdom and the Blade River Sect will be handled by Divine King Yuan and Morosa.” With that, he took a single step and vanished.

Only then did the tension in the hall ease.

“Second Master,” Moyu Qingyan immediately approached Morosa. “Just now, Master said Morosa...?”

“Morosa and Luo Sa are both my names. I had to keep my identity as a Realm Beast a secret, so I acted cautiously.” Morosa smiled cheerfully at Moyu Qingyan. “But look at you—being personally taught by a Realm Beast, and you still struggled so much with cultivation.”

Moyu Qingyan finally understood what a tremendous opportunity he had encountered.

His First Master... the Galaxy Ruler—one of the highest-level beings on the Origin Continent today.

His Second Master—a peak Realm Beast! A Divine King Ultimate Realm existence!

“To be favored by Master and taught by Second Master—this is the greatest fortune of my life,” said Moyu Qingyan.

“You should thank your father. When my master and I passed through reincarnation and arrived on the Origin Continent, the first cultivator we met was your father, Moyu Hu,” Morosa said with a smile.

Among Moyu Hu’s three children, Luo Feng had chosen Moyu Qingyan.

……

Luo Feng arrived at Chu Capital to visit his master, Emperor Chu, and explained some of the secrets from the past 1,500 eras.

Chu Capital, Marquis Chu Yu’s mansion.

“I don’t want to see anyone!”

Di Chu Yu stood in the hall and shouted, “No matter who visits, turn them all away.”

“Yes, sir,” the steward responded cheerfully and ran out.

“Father, is Uncle truly the Galaxy Ruler?” In the hall, three young men were visibly excited, while a dignified woman beside them was even more stirred.

Di Chu Yu turned to his three sons. “This intel has already been confirmed by the Flame Pavilion. It’s been spread throughout the Blade River Sect. It can’t be false.”

“Father, have you contacted Uncle yet?” asked the eldest.

“Silence.”

Di Chu Yu scolded them. “Today must be your uncle’s busiest day. With his identity revealed, there will be countless matters to attend to. We mustn’t disturb him. And also—remember this well. I am merely Brother Luo He’s friend. You mustn’t rely on this connection to act recklessly.”

“If any disaster comes of it, I won’t wait for royal punishment—I’ll deal with you myself!” Di Chu Yu snapped.

He knew his sons’ temperaments well.

As the son of a First-Class Marquis within the royal clan, they were already used to living freely and indulgently.

Now that they knew their uncle was the Galaxy Ancestor—wouldn’t they try to shake the heavens?

“Your father is right. You must not bring disaster upon us,” the dignified woman added.

“Though I share bonds of friendship with Brother Luo He, that friendship is finite—it can be exhausted,” Di Chu Yu said, looking at his sons. “I don’t want your petty troubles to drain that relationship.”

“Don’t worry, Father.”

“We understand.” The three sons nodded obediently.

Di Chu Yu sighed. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Though he had decent talent within the royal clan, his sons were quite average.

He pondered—within the royal clan of the Ancient Flame Kingdom, the hierarchy was rigid. Emperors, Divine Kings, and First-Class Marquises… even among them, he was beneath those who had transcended the Chaos Realm.

But now, things were different. Who didn’t know that he had once been life-and-death brothers with the Galaxy Ruler—the very first guest elder he had recruited?

With that bond, even Emperors within the Ancient Flame Kingdom’s royal clan had to acknowledge him.

“When such immense fortune arrives, one must remain steady,” Di Chu Yu thought silently. Not only must he remain grounded—he also had to keep watch over his sons, his wife, and the entire family.

……

Di Chu Ying drank leisurely in his cave residence.

“I once gave Luo He a guest elder position—he owes me a favor.”

“That favor has multiplied in value countless times.”

He poured himself another drink.

“No rush, no rush.”

“It’s only been a little over a thousand eras, and the favor is already so valuable.”

“If it’s ten thousand, or a hundred million eras, the value may be unimaginable.” Di Chu Ying had never planned to use this favor lightly. He was patient—unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t touch it.

He understood that this favor would only grow in worth.

Even now—how hard was it to have the Galaxy Ruler owe you a favor?

Even offering a treasure above Divine King-level might not be enough.

……

Luo Feng publicly announced the news to all Blade River Sect disciples, and since it wasn’t kept secret, it naturally spread quickly across the Origin Continent.

Divine Kings of Yuguo and members of the Wheel Reincarnation Pavilion were all deeply stirred.

Ancient Flame Kingdom, Fengzhang City.

“That idiot Zhang Yunge, that absolute fool!” Even the usually composed Feng Zhang Divine King couldn’t help but curse in fury. “Such a heaven-sent opportunity—completely ruined by her!”

“Moyu Qingyan’s two masters—one is the Galaxy Ruler, the other is a Divine King Ultimate Realm Realm Beast.”

“How did she mess this up so badly?”

Feng Zhang Divine King was furious to the point of sickness. With the identity of those two, even a sliver of leftover opportunity would benefit him—a First Stage Divine King—immensely. But now, it was all gone.

“Pass down my order,” Feng Zhang Divine King growled, holding in his rage. “Expel the entire branch Zhang Yunge belongs to. Erase them from the clan registry.”

He wanted nothing to do with that foolish branch.

They had no right to enjoy even a scrap of the royal clan’s benefits!

……

The branch Zhang Yunge belonged to still had over ten Eternal True Gods, and many Void and regular True Gods. They had long been marginalized and had relocated to an ordinary small city within the Ancient Flame Kingdom, becoming the ruling family of that city.

“What? Expelled from the clan? Erased from the registry?!”

“Impossible!”

That branch of the family fell into panic.

Without the protection of the royal clan, they’d be on their own. Perhaps the Eternal True Gods could still live decently, but the rest would no longer enjoy a comfortable, carefree life.

“Yunge, we’ve all been expelled from the clan. These relatives are mostly Void and weak True Gods.” Zhang Yunge’s father brought tens of thousands of kin to her.

Zhang Yunge, living in seclusion, was stunned to see them.

“Father, what happened? Why were we expelled?” Zhang Yunge asked.

“You still don’t know?” Her father stared at her. “Moyu Qingyan’s Second Master, Divine King Luo Sa, is actually a Divine King Ultimate Realm Realm Beast. His Master, Divine King Luo He, is none other than the Galaxy Ruler!”

Zhang Yunge listened in a daze.

Her father sighed. “I’ll take ten thousand relatives and move elsewhere. The rest are your responsibility. You’re still a Divine King’s disciple, and you once had a relationship with Moyu Qingyan. They’ll be safer with you.”

Even if they had broken up, just that past relationship made Zhang Yunge a safe haven. Even ancient evil entities would hesitate.

“I understand.” Zhang Yunge nodded, though she felt a headache coming as she looked at the tens of thousands of relatives.

“Qingyan’s two masters… are the Galaxy Ruler and a peak Realm Beast?” Zhang Yunge felt like everything was a dream. She had once met Luo Feng and Morosa while with Moyu Qingyan—but back then, she hadn’t sensed anything extraordinary.
