Chapter 171 Devouring the Stars, Come and Swipe As You Please
Even the talents of subordinate races can humiliate humans, let alone races like the Zerg.
They can pick out any cub and their talent is far superior to that of ordinary human geniuses. Any Zergling at the World Lord level is at least comparable to a Marquis or Immortal. Humans are probably no different from "cosmic garbage" on the roadside.
However, on the other hand, the human race has never been able to maintain its position as the top race by relying on the middle and lower-level "cannon fodder" to hold the fort.
Even if the human race's talent was so bad that Xu Qing felt they were from another universe, not born in the original universe at all, they were simply the worst of the worst.
But its vast territory and terrifying population base are simply too much to handle!
With such a large base, they managed to create thousands of Universe Venerables and nearly 20 Universe Lords.
Adding to the two true gods that humanity already possessed, this is why, even in the primitive universe, humanity's talent was considered "utterly worthless."
It gives you the confidence to roam freely in the universe.
After all, once the number of people is increased to create top-tier powerhouses, the top-level combat strength will be strong enough that no one will dare to truly look down on the human race.
Of course, the title of "trash" for the human race is purely a result of "horizontal comparison" within the Swallowed Star world.
If you don't believe me, just look at the human race's "standards of conduct".
Only planetary-level beings are considered cosmic citizens; apprentice-level beings are not even worth as much as roadside weeds, pure slaves.
It should be known that a peak War God's physical defense is hundreds or thousands of times harder than diamond, and a single strike can cleave a monster tens of meters long with a body hardness a hundred times that of diamond in two.
In the eyes of the alien race, such a powerful individual is not even a citizen of the alien race. They can be easily captured and enslaved, and no one will hold them accountable no matter how many are killed.
It can only be said that, compared to other worlds, the human race in the Swallowed Star world is far too overwhelming.
If this standard were applied to the worlds of "Battle Through the Heavens," "Lord of Mysteries," "Yang Shen," and "Infinite Terror," those people would probably collectively criticize it.
No, you mean someone who moves at several times the speed of sound, punches at dozens of times the speed of sound, can flatten a mountain with a single punch, can survive in space, and is ruthless enough to survive a nuclear bomb.
Are you barely considered "human" by your standards? People below you are like ants that can be picked up on the roadside, while those a few major realms above you are slaves?
You call yourselves a "race of trash"? Then what are we?
A peak-level War God, in the context of "Battle Through the Heavens," would be enough to make someone the leader of a sect.
In Lord of Mysteries, he is at least a powerful being of Sequence 3 or higher.
In "Infinite Terror," he becomes an even more formidable character who can dominate 99% of horror movies.
But in the eyes of the human race who devoured the stars, such a peak war god is not even considered a "human".
It can only be said that the human race in Swallowing the Stars is outrageous to the extreme: their low-level strength is terrifying, while their high-level weakness is worrying.
Looking down, there are so many powerful individuals in the lower and middle levels that they could shock people from other worlds.
Looking up, the cultivation threshold is enough to drive people crazy—only one in trillions of people can become an immortal, and the length and intensity of cultivation alone would make people from other worlds exclaim, "We can't afford to play this game!"
Compared to Swallowed Star, the difficulty of the Great Emperor's advancement in "Covering the Sky" is nothing in terms of volume.
Even a renowned figure like the Emperor of Covering the Sky, when discussing scrolls with the Immortal Ant, could leave the Emperor of Covering the Sky completely bewildered:
Immortal Ant: "Holy crap, Big Daddy, with power surpassing even the strongest beings in the universe, how many people did you kill to ascend to this supreme throne?"
The Emperor of Heaven, a true god and supreme ruler, dismissed the question with disdain, saying, "Trillions of people, I suppose."
Immortal Ant: "Ah, so many? That's not bad, but what about the ones from a second ago?"
The country bumpkin who covered the sky: "?"
It can only be said that once the advancement threshold for devouring worlds was revealed, the idea that the path to becoming an emperor in the world of "Covering the Sky" was filled with countless bones and seas of blood became an unbearable joke.
If a "Chat Group of All Heavens Scroll Kings" were actually created, even the Great Emperor of Shrouding the Heavens would be embarrassed to post about his achievements of slaughtering across the universe and proving his Dao by stepping on trillions of corpses.
After all, in Swallowing the Stars, this achievement isn't even considered an entry-level achievement. If it were posted out, it would only be laughed at as a country bumpkin who hasn't even left the Milky Way. With this level of achievement, anyone who can become an immortal in Swallowing the Stars, even the most ordinary immortal, would be considered a "chosen one" in other worlds.
For example, Xu Qing's cheap teacher, Hu Yanbo, may seem like a genius among geniuses, even though he is only a Marquis Immortal and the core members of the Virtual Universe Company might not even look up to him.
It's important to know that Hu Yanbo was self-taught; he didn't rely on any top-tier backers or seize any extraordinary opportunities. He simply persevered through sheer hard work.
He fought his way out from billions of people, became an immortal marquis, and even had ten immortals serve as his servants.
If this happened in any other world, it would definitely be a "chosen one" scenario!
In the Swallowed Starry Sky, he was only considered a decent mid-level player. He had never even entered the initial universe, had no powerful backing, and was just a nobody who could be easily crushed by any random Immortal King.
There's nothing we can do; there are just too many powerful figures in this world who can manipulate things, even immortals have to live a life of constant struggle.
Ultimately, humanity, the world that swallowed the stars, is a paradox: their talent is as bad as a sieve, yet they have built up top-tier combat power by virtue of their territory and population size.
The lower and middle classes are strong enough to crush other worlds, while the upper classes are so powerful that they drive people to despair. But no matter what, the grand stage of devouring humanity is open to anyone who wants to get involved.
However, the prerequisite is that you must first be qualified to step into this King of Roll competition arena.
Humans in the divine realm don't even have the qualifications to participate in the scrolling. This is the threshold for even wanting to participate; many people want it but don't even have the chance.
Hu Yanbo's ability to break through to immortality is also thanks to the fact that he was born into the human race of the universe, rather than the humans of the divine kingdom or the humans of the secret realm of the universe.
Why? Because the primordial universe mother only sees the humans of the cosmic secret realm and the cosmic humans as her children.
The humans of the divine realm simply do not have the ability to ascend to immortality; they are not qualified at all.
Unless you have a miraculous encounter, there's no way you can get your hands on this scroll.
Moreover, the speed at which it devours the world and ascends to immortality is extremely abstract.
Because humans have a lifespan of tens of millions of years, the longest time it takes for humans to achieve immortality is close to tens of millions of years.
However, it is not uncommon for other races, such as the Golden Horned Beast, to have a lifespan of hundreds of millions of years and spend hundreds of millions of years to ascend to immortality.
Looking at Luo Feng's record of advancing to immortality in 80,000 to 90,000 years in the original work, it is already one of the fastest in history.
Of course, it's happening at a speed that's devouring the world.
Is that fast? In "Yang Shen", it only took Hong Yi seven years to reach his peak.
In the novel "Covering the Sky," the Great Emperors only need a few thousand years to attain enlightenment, and a million years is enough for them to evolve from Great Emperors into legendary Dark Sovereigns, having already devoured countless billions of people.
Not to mention these worlds with short lifespans, where ordinary people live for a hundred or two hundred years, and top experts live for ten thousand or a hundred thousand years at most.
Millions of years? Hundreds of millions of years? For someone like the Great Emperor, even the magnitude of hundreds of millions of years is unimaginable. He has already reincarnated thousands of times, and his ashes have been buried by cosmic dust and cannot be found.
Only in this place can one devour countless generations of people and treat the daily practice of "outlasting millions of generations" as a means to achieve immortality. In other worlds, who could withstand such a thing?
