Swallowing the Stars: I Have No Cheat Codes

Chapter 1 The Beginning of Time Travel

Chapter 1 The Beginning of Time Travel

In the constellation of a desolate star system, a figure sat cross-legged, his entire body enveloped in blazing starlight, yet strangely, it did not harm him in the slightest.

"I've traveled through time?? Where am I? The environment looks terrible!"

Lu Xing opened his eyes in a daze, startled by the ever-expanding flame energy around him.

Instantly, the original owner's memories began to gradually merge into his mind. At the same time, a mysterious energy enveloped his soul. After all, the difference in strength between the two was too great. Even just the fusion of memories was enough to make him lose his way and thus lose himself.

Now, protected by that mysterious energy, despite some pain, Lu Xing is still Lu Xing.

"Phew~"

He let out a long sigh of relief.

"One of the ninth-tier domain lords of the Human Realm, the Fallen Water Universe Kingdom, and the Immortal Force Shadow Tower, who went out to seek an opportunity to break through to the realm lord due to his lifespan being about to run out."

Not only that, but the original owner's experiences and way of dealing with people have been playing over and over again in Lu Xing's mind. It can be said that even if he meets an old friend, he will not reveal any flaws.

"It seems I'm right. The world of Swallowing the Stars. Although I'm already a Domain Lord, it's a disastrous start. I still have ten years of lifespan left. How am I supposed to break through to World Lord?"

Lu Xing stood up, showing no joy at becoming a domain lord. So what if he was a ninth-level domain lord? In ten years, he would be nothing more than a speck of dust in the universe, drifting away to who knows where.

"System, where's my brother, Tongzi?!"

A thousand thoughts raced through my mind: How could I survive in the Devouring Stars without any cheat codes? Or would I rather be reborn as a short-lived ghost whose lifespan is about to end?

Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, this universe was destined to be filled with only his silence.

"Oh well... what's done is done!"

With a sigh, he flew out of the star and began to familiarize himself with the power he had suddenly gained. The leap from an ordinary person to a domain lord was too great, and he also had to use various secret techniques to fully transform it into his own strength.

As for what to use for testing, it would naturally be the meteorite belt in the galaxy and the six barren planets surrounding it. Since there is no life there, smashing them all wouldn't make a difference.

In the blink of an eye, 30 days have passed.

"Whoosh!"

Lu Xing's figure transformed into a streak of red light and flew past. He slashed out with his ice-blue longsword, and violent energy burst out from the blade, instantly piercing through the meteorite in front of him.

In just a moment, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the meteorite.

"bump!!"

The meteorite exploded from the inside, completely shattering into fragments, with even the aftershocks spreading over a radius of thousands of kilometers.

If the meteorite had a will at this moment, it would definitely say: Dude, I don't think I've done anything to you, have I? Is what you're doing really appropriate?

"A domain lord is indeed a domain lord. Reading novels can't compare to the shock of experiencing it firsthand. It's just a pity that ten years is still too short." Lu Xing's mental energy permeated the spatial ring on his hand, and the long sword in his hand instantly disappeared. Then he turned around and flew towards Hengxing.

"I'll go into seclusion here on this star for another year!" Lu Xing said helplessly as he sat down cross-legged inside the star. His body, at the ninth level of the Domain Lord realm, could still withstand this temperature.

This place wasn't chosen randomly. How could someone whose lifespan is about to end choose a barren place to cultivate in seclusion? That would be pure suicide.

He could sense that the fire law of this star was relatively clear. It was precisely because he found such a good place that the original owner of this body was a little anxious and died prematurely for some reason. Then he was the one who transmigrated.

Moreover, the part he lacked in breaking through to the realm master level was his comprehension of the laws. To be honest, the original owner of this body was really unlucky. He could solve the most difficult part, comprehending the power of the world, but he was stuck on the laws.

"With the fusion of my two souls, the clarity of my understanding of the laws has increased by about 100%. At this level of clarity, breaking through to the realm master level shouldn't be difficult, and even immortality is highly possible. But now... I don't know if ten years will be enough. Oh, cheat code, why aren't you here yet!" Lu Xing called out in his heart again.

He was no longer fixated on the system; all he needed was a cheat code that would allow him to break through to the Realm Lord level. Once he broke through to the Realm Lord level, his lifespan would increase by 900 epochs, making it highly likely that he could break through to Immortality. Then, he would carefully seek opportunities to break through again and grow up to be like Luo Feng.

Seeing that nothing was being done, Lu Xing began to close his eyes and meditate, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the laws around him. Invisible law patterns swirled around him.

By capturing the traces of the laws, as long as the laws are fully comprehended, the Ninefold Fire Domain can be pushed to the level of the Fire World, and the breakthrough will be a natural outcome.

A year may seem like a long time, but it's actually not long at all. The original owner of this body wasn't a genius, nor was he one. Unless Lady Luck smiled upon him, he could only have figured something out in a mere year.

"No, it seems I have no choice but to sell all the treasures and then go to the Shadow Tower headquarters to try my luck. Before that, let me take a good look at this star."

Lu Xing suddenly flew out of Hengxing and looked down from above. His detectors couldn't detect anything at all; the energy inside was too active.

The star is about two million kilometers in diameter, and it would take some time to explore it in person. However, he had a feeling that this trip would definitely be fruitful.

"Anything that can cause a change in the laws of a place must contain a treasure, and it's definitely not an ordinary item. The original owner of this body was incredibly stupid." Lu Xing continued to travel through the interior of Hengxing, exploring from the outside in. Although he had secluded himself inside, there were still 90% of the area that he hadn't explored.

Anyone who has read Swallowed Star knows that places where the laws are obvious are mostly special. For example, Chaos City is a small universe of the primordial ancestor, and the Ancestral God Cult's Purple Thorn Island is backed by the will of the primordial universe. But where is this?

A star system that makes even a human shake their head and a space pirate weep is clearly not a special place, so it must contain treasures!

"Found it!"

Lu Xing was overjoyed. His gaze fell upon a red crystal no bigger than a fist. Not only was it red, but a green vine was wrapped around its surface.

With one step, they instantly arrived at the surface of the red crystal.

The vines seemed startled upon sensing his presence and involuntarily contracted. This was due to the difference in their life levels; Lu Xing was a Domain Lord, while the vines were only at the Hengxing level.

"The Blazing Sun Vine is a plant life form no less than the Cloud-Piercing Vine, but it seems to have mutated. How could a normal Everlasting Blazing Sun Vine be so small?" Lu Xing looked at the vine in front of him, which was only a dozen meters long and ridiculously thin, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"As for this red crystal..."

Yes, he couldn't recognize it. Even a seasoned domain lord wouldn't recognize this thing.

"Lapp, check the information on this item."

Lu Xing used his intelligent optical brain to scan the red crystal. He naturally had auxiliary intelligence, and the level was not too low. Auxiliary intelligence was already widespread and not expensive.

A flash of light, and after comparing the data in the database again and again, Lapp concluded, "Master, there is no information about this item in my database."
