First Grade True Meaning Transcendent

Swallowed Star world.

Taichu Secret Realm, inside a dark, secluded chamber.

Zhou Lin stared intently at the book before him, carefully savoring the realm of meaning within.

"Hard. This is far too hard."

Who knew how much time had passed? The only sound in the chamber was a helpless sigh. Zhou Lin had taken a nap not long ago, and when he woke up, he had transmigrated here.

This era was still unimaginably far from Luo Feng's birth. He could not even cling to anyone powerful, and among his peers in the Genius Battle was the famously brilliant Kedi.

If nothing unexpected happened, Zhou Lin would likely watch Kedi soar all the way upward, clear Primal Tongtian Mountain at all three stages, slaughter Marquis-level opponents as a Realm Lord, and bask in his boundless glory.

As for himself, he would most likely have no fame at all in later generations.

He might even die before becoming Immortal.

Worst of all, Zhou Lin had not inherited the original owner's talent or memories. Though they shared exactly the same name, the gap between their talents was enormous.

Kedi's era came hundreds of thousands of years before even King Zhenyan's.

By Luo Feng's era, King Zhenyan had already cultivated in Chaos City for hundreds of millions of years. If Zhou Lin failed to break through to Immortal, he simply would not live long enough to see that era.

Especially since he lacked the predecessor's memories. Although his Cosmic level thinking and physical body allowed him to recover quite a bit, in terms of strength...

He might not even be a match for Nuolanshan.

Fading into the crowd would already be fortunate. What awaited him was more likely death during some mission, or simply dying of old age when his time ran out.

Zhou Lin was unwilling to accept this. Having finally transmigrated once, was he really going to weather away with the years without witnessing the countless wonders of this world?

He wanted to grow stronger. He wanted to stand at the pinnacle of the universe, even the Origin World.

Ding!

[Host detected. Worldview confirmed as an Origin World. System binding successful.]

[The host has received a beginner gift package. Open it?]

Hearing the ding in his mind, Zhou Lin initially assumed it was the voice of an Artificial Intelligence. But the word "system" that followed filled him with immense delight.

"Open it."

Zhou Lin silently said in his heart.

[Opening successful. Congratulations, host, for obtaining a random First Grade True Meaning.]

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining First-grade Chaotic Hole True Intent.]

[The host can now sense the rules of the Lord Xue Ying worldview at any time.]

"First Grade True Meaning?" Zhou Lin's mouth twitched. Wasn't that something from Lord Xue Ying?

But he quickly noticed something unusual.

The structure within his body had changed. Countless particles filled it. In Lord Xue Ying's terms, he was now a First Grade True Meaning Transcendent.

Such a person could attract a Great Being—an existence comparable to a Universe Master—to take them as a disciple, and was practically guaranteed to reach Fourth Heaven Celestial God.

Zhou Lin temporarily set aside what he had been doing and began seriously studying the system.

There were no strange missions.

Obtaining cultivation resources was also very simple.

The system had only two basic pages: reputation and exchange.

The meaning of reputation was straightforward.

At different cultivation stages, the greater the impact he made and the more astonishment he inspired in others, the more treasures and cultivation methods he would receive.

In other words, keeping a low profile was no longer an option.

As for exchange, that was even simpler. For example, Zhou Lin could toss useless items into the system and exchange them for equivalent treasures.

"Kedi has already cleared the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge. Everyone needs to work harder."

Looking at an old email in his inbox, Zhou Lin's expression turned grave. Clearing the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge at the Cosmic level was more outrageous than Bolan by an unknown number of times.

After all, the difficulty of each Tongtian Bridge level differed like heaven and earth. Even Bolan had only reached the sixth level during his time in Chaos City.

Having such a monster as a peer, even Luo Feng would fall short of him for the vast majority of his life.

Fortunately, Zhou Lin was a First Grade True Meaning Transcendent.

Zhou Lin examined himself inwardly. A star cloud still existed within his sea of consciousness, while his physical body was composed of particles.

"So that means I can cultivate both systems?"

Zhou Lin had thought that after obtaining a First Grade True Meaning, his Primordial Universe System would become useless. Who would have thought that he could cultivate both?

The cultivation system from Lord Xue Ying advanced more quickly, and its special abilities in the early stages were also stronger than those of Swallowed Star at the same level.

For example, a Great Being could rely solely on a name and a thread of Causality to kill ordinary Realm Gods and Gods across immeasurable distances.

Opening the system panel, Zhou Lin carefully examined it.

[Host: Zhou Lin]

[Age: 107]

[Cultivation: Cosmic level, Saint Level.]

[Reputation: 0]

He had only just obtained the First Grade True Meaning and had not begun any actual cultivation, yet his strength was already at Saint Level.

This indicated that the systems of the two Origin Worlds could likely be converted between one another.

In other words, if Zhou Lin focused wholeheartedly on cultivating to Realm God, his corresponding strength in the other system would likewise become that of a Venerable.

"If I remember correctly, the fastest Realm God seemed to have achieved it at three hundred years old."

What kind of concept was a three-hundred-year-old Universe Venerable?

But he currently only possessed a First Grade True Meaning. Condensing it into a God Heart would still be difficult. Moreover, obtaining system rewards required sufficient reputation.

For someone at the Cosmic level, the best way to gain reputation was naturally to challenge the Tongtian Bridge.

That step was too difficult. The original owner had chosen the Dragon-walking Chaos Tablet.

Furthermore, he had to successfully cultivate the Primordial Universe System before he could challenge the Tongtian Bridge, rather than relying on the Chaotic Hole True Meaning.

Therefore, Zhou Lin's best choice was instead to accept various missions.

As for the Tongtian Bridge, clearing around six levels would be about enough.

But before that, he had to raise his strength as quickly as possible.

No mission could be taken lightly. Every one of them carried enormous danger.

Walking out of the chamber, he found a vast lawn outside, along with a manor stretching for thousands of miles, numerous servants, and World Lord level guards standing by at all times.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Lin felt incomparably refreshed.

"Why does Your Highness have time to come out today?"

The speaker was Mìxīng, the captain of Zhou Lin's guards.

He also found it strange. Ever since Zhou Lin had returned to the Taichu Secret Realm, he had spent nearly every day cultivating in his secluded chamber and was rarely seen outside.

"Just taking a walk."

Zhou Lin clasped his hands behind his back. From his perspective, the rules between heaven and earth seemed to have changed.

A Transcendent who grasped a First Grade True Meaning was inherently assured of reaching Fourth Heaven Celestial God, and was also extraordinarily sensitive to the Heaven and Earth Rules.

The obscure laws of the past now felt exceptionally clear to Zhou Lin. Whether it was Lesser Laws such as metal and fire,

or Higher Laws such as time and space, Zhou Lin could sense them to some extent.

He could likewise perceive the rules of the Chaotic Void at any time.

His talent had completely transformed from that of an ordinary Earthling. This was the effect brought by a First Grade True Meaning.

As a member of the Virtual Universe Company, Zhou Lin's strength had long been raised to Ninth Stage Cosmic Level through nutrient pods. He was only one step away from becoming a Domain Lord.

And the First-grade Chaotic Hole True Intent could also bring entirely different changes to his combat power. He needed no Secret Arts or weapons.

Relying solely on the Chaotic Hole True Meaning, the strength he could unleash vastly surpassed what a Cosmic level cultivator should possess.

"Your Highness seems rather different."

From far away in the courtyard, Mìxīng watched Zhou Lin and vaguely felt that he had undergone a tremendous change.
