Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent [Trans] - Updated on April 9, 2025

Luo Feng stood alone on the pavilion, overlooking the night view of Xiangjie City. He looked down at the command token in his hand, contemplating every word the Two Realms Palace Vice Palace Master ‘Traveler’ had said.

“Once I join, they’ll send me into a treasure land left behind by Yuan?” Luo Feng was indeed tempted. He possessed a Yuan-related inheritance, the “Lie Yuan Art,” and naturally desired similar opportunities.

However, Luo Feng remained vigilant.

The Two Realms Palace claimed everyone was equal, cooperating and exchanging fairly. But were their words to be taken at face value?

“I’ll ask my master first,” Luo Feng thought.

Imperial Chu Palace, Chu Capital.

Luo Feng went to visit his master that very night.

“The Two Realms Palace Vice Palace Master ‘Traveler’ invited you?” Emperor Chu sat there, nodding and sighing. “The Two Realms Palace is quick to act. They’re inviting you even before you’ve transcended the Chaos Realm, and they’re willing to grant you a chance to enter a treasure land. That’s quite generous.”

Luo Feng listened.

If his master called it generous, then the opportunity must be significant.

“What he said isn’t wrong.”

Emperor Chu nodded. “The resources of the two great ancient nations are primarily for the imperial family. Non-royals must exchange for them with merit or pay a certain price.”

Luo Feng understood that the vice palace master hadn’t lied.

“These are the rules set by the Ancestral Founder,” Emperor Chu said. “The Ancestral Founder instructed that the treasures he brought back, after strict screening, could be used to focus on cultivating elite members of the clan. Therefore, elite members of the clan can receive many benefits. First-rank marquises of the imperial family can receive a good share, and imperial family God Kings can receive even more! This has aroused the envy of many other God Kings in the Origin Continent.”

“But the Ancestral Founder said that for non-royal experts… the Ancestral Founder would give opportunities to ‘exchange for inheritance, exchange for resources’. However, it must be exchanged for with merit, or exchanged fairly with other costs.”

“There can be no free gifts, it must be a fair exchange.”

Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng and smiled. “Even if you’re taken as a personal disciple, if I want to give my personal disciple benefits, I must bear the cost myself. For example, the resources I’ve given you, and even your future exchange for the inheritance of ‘Seventy-Two Annihilation Blades’ and ‘Eight Tribulation Lifeform’ within the God King realm, are all my responsibility.”

Luo Feng understood.

The two Ancestral Founders believed in fair exchange, even for those not of their own families. Resources would not be given away for free.

“Thank you, Master,” Luo Feng said gratefully.

The exchange price for these two inheritances, especially the content at the God King Ultimate realm level, totaled hundreds of millions of merits.

“So what I can help you with is limited,” Emperor Chu said. “Moreover, I owe the family a large amount of merit.”

“Owe the family merit?” Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

“The resources left by the Ancestral Founder are indeed allocated to a certain extent,” Emperor Chu explained. “But if you want to apply for extra high resources outside the family’s quota, you owe the family. I applied for a very large amount of resources in order to become an Emperor.”

“The two Ancestral Founders are also willing to fairly exchange resources for becoming Emperors and Monarchs with other cultivators, but the other God Kings in the Origin Continent simply can’t afford it,” Emperor Chu said. “This is why only the two great imperial families have true Emperors and Monarchs.”

“Debts must be repaid by performing many tasks, which I can’t refuse.”

“The resources left by Yuan are extremely valuable. If I occupy a share of resources, I must give it to the family until I completely pay off my debts,” Emperor Chu said. “The thirteen imperial lineage Emperors do occupy the most valuable resources on the Origin Continent with their strength. But they’ve all given them back to the family.” “Except for Emperor Qing, the other twelve Emperors don’t have this authority,” Emperor Chu said. “Emperor Qing has some authority to give resources left by Yuan that the family owns to his disciples. But we twelve Emperors don’t have that authority.”

Luo Feng understood.

“You are my disciple, and also a guest elder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom,” Emperor Chu said. “Unless the Ancestral Founder personally comes forward to invite you and give you sufficient promises, you don’t need to completely join the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. Although there are some benefits to joining, it greatly increases the restrictions on you. It’s better for powerful God Kings to be free.”

“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded. “Master, do I need to join the Two Realms Palace?”

“Don’t join,” Emperor Chu said.

Luo Feng was puzzled.

“Throughout the Origin Continent, although the two great ancient kingdoms’ imperial families are powerful, in terms of numbers, there are more God Kings outside the imperial families,” Emperor Chu said. “They also have the qualifications to compete for the resources left by Yuan. So they have also formed large and small forces. These forces are either overt or covert.”

“Among them, there are three major covert forces that you must not join. They are the Two Realms Palace, the Myriad Dharma Pavilion, and the Time-Space Lone Boat,” Emperor Chu said.

“Why can’t I join?” Luo Feng asked.

“These three covert forces should all be established by alien races,” Emperor Chu said. “By alien races, I mean cultivators from outside the Cage.”

Luo Feng was shocked: “Alien races?”

“Don’t worry, alien races are suppressed by the supreme rules, and the power of any move will be limited, unable to exceed a certain limit of the Chaos Realm,” Emperor Chu said. “Once the power is limited, even if it’s more profound, it’s at most a troublesome God King First Level realm.”

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

“Their true strength should be beyond the God King Ultimate realm,” Emperor Chu said. “So even if they descend here across vast Primal Space, it’s just a weak clone. But a God King First Level realm that can’t be completely killed and has unpredictable methods still brings a lot of trouble to the two great ancient kingdoms.”

“What are they doing in the Origin Continent?” Luo Feng asked.

“The resources left by Yuan,” Emperor Chu said. “You may not be clear about the preciousness of the resources left by Yuan. They are resources that even existences above the God King Ultimate realm still crave.”

“I don’t want you to join those three alien forces. Firstly, alien races are the ones who want to obtain the resources left by Yuan the most. Your actions are all under their observation, and alien races will be your direct competitors. Secondly, who knows what hidden dangers there will be from prolonged contact with them.”

“For example, the so-called Two Realms Palace, Myriad Dharma Pavilion, and Time-Space Lone Boat are all secret treasures that surpass the God King Ultimate realm. It’s hard to say if there are hidden dangers from entering such places with your consciousness for a long time,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng. “As for other forces, you can join any one you want.”

“Understood, Master,” Luo Feng was clear in his heart.

Knowing that these three forces were established by alien races, Luo Feng rejected them.

Perhaps some God King Second Level realms who have lived a long time, trusting in their own strength, and in order to break through, conspire with tigers and deal with alien races. He was still very young and didn’t need to do that.

“There are some treasure lands left by Yuan, but very few that the Chaos Realm can enter,” Emperor Chu said. “Perhaps only these three forces have such boldness to directly give you a chance to enter.”

Luo Feng nodded.

There really was no such thing as a free lunch. The more delicious the pie looked, the bigger the problem. Who would have thought that the Two Realms Palace was actually backed by alien races.

“Let me think.”

Emperor Chu sat there, quickly thinking.

Now the resources of the Origin Continent have long been clearly divided. Apart from relying on strength to seize them, it’s difficult to obtain resources. And Luo Feng, the first transcended of the Chaos Realm, can’t compete with those ancient existences.

“If you want to obtain a great opportunity left by Yuan in the Chaos Realm, apart from cooperating with alien races, I can only think of one way!” Emperor Chu thought of something.

“What way?” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

“You should know that the two great ancient kingdoms compete for some natural treasures that are nurtured at the borders,” Emperor Chu said. “Various competitions are generally limited to the Chaos Realm.”

“And you are in the Chaos Realm! And you are the first transcended of the Chaos Realm, absolutely the first,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng. “As a Chaos Realm, you going to compete for resources at the borders of the Thunder Ancient Kingdom is in accordance with the rules of the two great ancient kingdoms.”

Luo Feng nodded.

“The border line between the two countries is very long, and there are many places where natural treasures are nurtured,” Emperor Chu said. “I will send you all the intelligence about the maturation time of all natural treasures, and you can compete for them one by one.”

“Each time you compete, the value of those natural treasures is only a few thousand merits. But in one epoch, you should be able to snatch them hundreds of times, which is hundreds of thousands of merits.” “In a hundred epochs, that’s tens of millions of merits.” “In a thousand epochs, that’s hundreds of millions of merits,” Emperor Chu looked at Luo Feng. “Because each time they are some natural treasures nurtured by heaven and earth, the value is generally only a few thousand merits, it’s impossible for a God King to personally intervene for this little merit. It’ll turn into a God King level war.”

“As long as you continue to compete, with your crushing strength, you will succeed every time.” “As long as you snatch them a few dozen times, the Thunder Ancient Kingdom will realize the seriousness of the problem, and they will come to negotiate with you,” Emperor Chu said. “At that time, you will demand a spot to enter the treasure land left by Yuan.”

“As a guest elder of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, you can’t attack your own. So attack them, force them to feel the pain, and force them to give you the opportunity,” Emperor Chu said with a smile. “This is the only way I can think of.”

“Thank you, Master,” Luo Feng’s eyes lit up.

Chaos Realm transcendents, whose realms are all below God King, naturally find it difficult to improve their combat power. Like the current top five transcendents of the Chaos Realm, the gap between them seems to be only in their different methods.

Only in this era did a existence like Luo Feng appear. Turning the battlefield where the two great ancient kingdoms’ Chaos Realm fought into a harvest field swept by Luo Feng.

“Go,” Emperor Chu said.

Watching his disciple leave, Emperor Chu also sighed secretly.

He wanted to help his disciple, but he was too poor himself, and could only take out some of his own resources to give to his disciple. As for the precious resources left by Yuan, he had no authority to allocate them.

In the end, he had to come up with a plan and let his disciple compete for them with his own ability.

“The border line between the two great ancient kingdoms is really long.”

Luo Feng stood in the high sky. His master had come up with a plan, and he naturally began to act.

The two great ancient kingdoms occupied the most essential places in the entire Origin Continent, and their junction area was the most core area of the Origin Continent! There were many places where natural treasures were nurtured, but these natural treasures also had a growth cycle.

Only during the maturity period did they need to be strictly guarded. “Strictly guarded? With the help of formations, how many can stop me?” Luo Feng, with this body, carried a full ninety billion Black Rivers. “Let’s begin.”

Accustomed to the normal Chaos Realm competition at the border line, from this day on, the first transcended of the Chaos Realm ‘Luo He’ also joined in.
