Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

However, if one is truly willing to devote oneself fully to governing a country and governing people's hearts, it is still a form of self-cultivation, and the most difficult one at that.

For a god-king, creating the universe was nothing more than a casual act, but to govern the hearts of all the people in the universe, to use one's own heart to represent the heart of heaven and the hearts of people, was infinitely more difficult.

The highest realm of mind defined by the myriad realms is nothing more than substituting one's own mind for the mind of Heaven. Even if one is a soul slave, one cannot use one's own mind to formulate the rules of human nature.

During his travels on the Origin Continent, Luo Feng's state of mind also reached its peak. He wanted to challenge himself to govern people's hearts and minds, to cleanse his soul with the vastness of the mortal world, and to bring his spiritual realm to its true limit.

"Shops in the east are colluding to buy up valuable resources at low prices; someone in the north is making trouble inside a room; the royal city's patrol guards have placed their relatives in a shop, and then are causing trouble for competing shops..."

Luo Feng kept sorting out the events in the entire royal city. Under the complete surveillance, many things could not be hidden at all, but no one bothered to investigate.

Even the Eastern Emperor only maintains the stability of the entire royal city and doesn't care about these small details. And these are the mortal world.

After just a brief review, Luo Feng felt incredibly exhausted. The more he tried to sort things out, the more chaotic things became. If he didn't address the root cause and simply followed the rules, it would have the opposite effect.

However, Luo Feng decided to try things out little by little to bring fairness and order to the entire royal city.

Unlike the weak Eastern Emperor, Luo Feng's understanding of the Source of Laws improved significantly after observing Lu Yunhe's treasure refining, making him comparable to a normal Chaos Ruler. He was only one step away from reaching the seventh level of the Chaos Tower.

This strength, combined with control over the entire divine city, is enough to suppress the cultivators within.

Under Luo Feng's meticulous governance, the entire royal city is thriving and no longer relies on the reputation of the God King to sustain itself; it has also earned the good name of City Lord Luo.

"Truly a genius."

Looking at the changes in the royal city, the Eastern Emperor Ancestor was filled with emotion. A true genius can easily surpass ordinary people in any field.

Just as Luo Feng chose to govern the territory and use people's hearts to purify his own mind, new news also came from the Temple of Gods.

"Everyone, I have found the assassination organization founded by the Beast of the Realm on the Origin Continent."

The information exchanged by the Floating Yama God King in the Temple of Gods, but many of the God Kings were not very interested in this information.

The Beast of the Realm stayed on the Origin Continent for so long and left behind many hidden forces, but with the departure of the Beast of the Realm, these hidden forces are completely meaningless.

Without a god-king level being present, nobody cares, and many god-kings simply don't bother searching for these traces.

The Floating Yama God King hates the Beast of the Realm to the core, which is why he is taking such active steps to see if he can gather any information.

"The Beasts of the Realm are no longer on the Origin Continent; they're just an ordinary organization. We can simply have their Chaos Overlords handle it," a God-King casually remarked.

Although it involves the Beast of the Realm, it doesn't involve the Beast itself, so there's no need to be so serious.

"Let the Chaos Ruler go, but just in case, we'll keep an eye on things secretly," said the Purple Wood God King. The Chaos Ruler still had some value.

However, their god-king is not a babysitter; a little attention is all that's needed.

"it is good!"

……

"Xiao Feng, you've been staying in the city for too long. Why don't you go out for a walk?" After receiving the message, Lu Yunhe decided to send Luo Feng out to have a go and fight with the other Chaos Sovereigns.

"Yes!"

Hearing his teacher's story, Luo Feng was also excited. Although he had also taken the initiative to govern people's hearts, he was very tired after so long, even though his spiritual realm had indeed improved.

It's good to be able to go out and relax. Well, compared to governing people's hearts and minds, simple and straightforward killing is indeed a kind of relaxation.

"I really look forward to fighting other Chaos Overlords." Luo Feng quickly adjusted his mindset.

Because all those involved were Chaos Rulers, the action was swift.

Before long, more than thirty Chaos Rulers gathered in the far west of the continent.

This number is not large; on average, it is less than the direct subordinates of a God-King. Due to the destruction of the dimension, their strengths are uneven, ranging from those on the ninth level of the Chaos Tower to those on the sixth or seventh level.

"Lord of Nine Dragons Mountain, Holy Lord of the Demon Sword..."

Luo Feng looked at the several Chaos Sovereigns at the forefront, who were radiating powerful auras, and his expression became somewhat fiery. These were the strongest beings below the God King level.

"Lord Luo!"

A chaotic ruler, whose body was entirely golden, took the initiative to find Luo Feng and greeted him warmly.

"Golden Saint Ruler!"

Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled. He didn't seem to know the other person, and he couldn't help but feel a little wary of someone who was taking the initiative to approach him.

"Lord Luo, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am a disciple of the Floating Yama God King!" The Golden Saint Sovereign introduced himself, only to be somewhat surprised when he noticed that Luo Feng seemed to have no reaction.

"It seems that Lord Luo is not aware of the relationship between His Majesty the God-King and the Eternal God-King. His Majesty the Eternal God-King once saved my master," explained the Golden Saint Ruler.

"I see!"

Luo Feng suddenly realized that his teacher had never mentioned the God King to him. After all, he was only an Eternal True God and there was no need for him to know.

"As expected of a great teacher producing a great student, His Majesty the Eternal God King's strength and talent are unparalleled in the entire Origin Continent, and he is vaguely known as the number one God King. Lord Luo is not bad either."

The Golden Saint Lord praised him, showing no disdain for Luo Feng despite his mere Eternal True God strength.

On the contrary, the fact that an Eternal True God could come here suggests that he is at least comparable to the Chaos Ruler, meaning he possesses the strength of at least the sixth level of the Chaos Tower, indicating exceptional talent.

"The number one person on the Origin Continent!"

Luo Feng instantly felt immense pressure. No wonder his teacher never talked about the God King.

To be honest, although he and his teacher were master and apprentice, there was actually no age difference between them, only a few decades. But the difference in their strength...

"I can't let my teacher down!" Luo Feng thought to himself.

Just as the two were talking, the leading Chaos Overlords completed the blockade of the entire area.

"Do it!"

……

Chapter 589 The Invisible Treasure

buzzing...

Numerous top-tier Chaos Overlords joined forces to completely seal off the surrounding void, ensuring that no assassin could escape.

"Lord Luo, the battle has begun. Proceed with caution."

After giving a few normal instructions, the Golden Saint Ruler rushed in excitedly.

Lord Luo is also a disciple of the God King and is quite powerful, so naturally he doesn't need to be protected.

Given the Eternal God King's strength, as his only disciple, she probably has more ways to protect herself than he does.

"Thank you!"

Luo Feng cupped his hands in greeting, choosing not to rush forward immediately, but instead following the others inside.

Among everyone present, he was the weakest in terms of cultivation level, so he naturally had to be careful.

The entire assassin organization was established beneath the continent, and because of its small size, it was confined to the area of ​​a single city.

However, since it was built by the God-King, the city's standards in all aspects are extremely high.

When Luo Feng arrived, the protective array for the city had already been broken by the combined efforts of many Chaos Overlords.

At this point, the various assassins within the city finally realized what was happening.

"Damn it, the base has been discovered!"

The assassins' thoughts changed drastically. Some tried to contact the King of Assassins, some prepared to sneak away and did not want to risk their lives for the organization, while others had a strong sense of identification with the organization and wanted to stay and protect it.

"Today, none of you will escape!"

Leading the charge was the Demon Sword Saint, who wielded a skull-shaped demon sword and exuded an evil aura, making him look more like a villain than the assassins.

With a swing of his demonic sword, he conjured a multitude of skeletons that devoured the life around them.

This place is the base of assassins. In addition to the top Chaos Rulers, there are also many Void Gods and Eternal Gods, which correspond to the three levels of assassins.

In addition, the base also has a large number of Law Masters and True Gods, which can be considered as a self-cultivated reserve supplement.

"Speaking of which, these people probably don't know that their King of Assassins is the infamous Beast of the Realm!" A Chaos Overlord casually slapped several fleeing Eternal True Gods to death.

"Even if they don't know, it doesn't change the fact that their hands are stained with evil."

The other Chaos Ruler was equally ruthless, sparing no assassin he saw.

Some of those who launched this campaign to eliminate the assassin organization were tasked by the God King, some wanted to fight against the Chaos Ruler, and some were simply coveting the assassin organization's accumulated resources.

Although the entire assassin organization was established by the Beast of the Realm, it had no need for these resources given its strength.

This has made these assassins quite wealthy. As long as they complete their missions, they can receive corresponding rewards, which are even more abundant than those of ordinary Chaos Overlords.

Even so, the accumulation left behind by the World Beast is definitely no weaker than that of a normal God-King.

In fact, because assassins are extremely lucrative, aside from some truly precious treasures, such as the supreme treasures of the God-King, their other resources are probably even more abundant than those of some God-King kingdoms, enough to tempt the rulers.

Eradicating an assassin organization is no less arduous than wiping out one or two divine kingdoms.

In addition, there are naturally those who seek revenge against the assassin organization.

The Chaos Overlords who came here had all experienced some assassination attempts, and some of their close friends had even died at the hands of assassins.

After all, the assassin organization established by the Beast Realm is ruthless and dares to assassinate even the God King, let alone the disciples of the God King.

These assassins who can obtain identity tokens have taken many lives, and are hated by many countries and cultivators.

"Let's just forget about these Lords of Laws and True Gods!"

Some Chaos Rulers, out of goodwill, did not harm any beings below the level of Void Gods, but instead took them all in.

To the Chaos Ruler, those below the Void True God level are, in a sense, just ordinary people.

Amidst the rampage of numerous Chaos Overlords, they soon encountered one of the Chaos Overlords among the Assassins, and a fierce battle instantly erupted between the two sides.

The Chaos Overlord who came here was powerful, and these assassins were also, to some extent, direct descendants of the God King, and their strength was not weak either. Among them were also beings from the ninth level of the Chaos Tower.

Because it frequently fights against beings of the same level, its attack power is even stronger.

Within the entire Assassin's Base, there are nearly twenty Chaos Overlords, more than in a typical God Kingdom.

"Damn it, how did you find this place? Aren't you afraid of being assassinated by the God-King?"

An old man with formidable strength roared as he parried the attacks of the demonic sword, trying to intimidate his opponent by using his title as the King of Assassins.

Their king of assassins had even assassinated a god-king, and his power shook the entire Origin Continent.
