Swallowed Star World.
Within the Ganwu Universe Country, the Ganwu Secret Realm, inside an independent manor.
Zhang Dong, clad in light blue armor, sat cross-legged on the ground, his main consciousness immersed in cultivation within the Virtual Universe, engaging in various simulated battles or watching instructional videos.
"The danger coefficient of this mission is far too high. Having finally arrived in a world like this, I can't just stop here, can I?"
After cultivating continuously for several hours, Zhang Dong let out a faint sigh.
He had been staying up late, when suddenly his vision went black. When he opened his eyes again, he was in this Ganwu Secret Realm, having taken over the identity of his namesake predecessor. But he hadn't inherited any memories—only the level and comprehension of the laws remained.
The current era was still far from Luo Feng's birth; even Zhenyan King had yet to rise. There was no one to latch onto for support.
The most terrifying thing was that his predecessor had recently accepted a cultivation mission, with only two and a half days left before departure.
The Ganwu Secret Realm's training system for prodigies largely followed the Virtual Universe Company's model—Universe-level disciples had to carry out various cultivation missions.
However, the selection range wasn't as broad; all missions were confined to dangerous areas within the Ganwu Universe Country. The mission his predecessor had taken was the highest level, equivalent to the Virtual Universe Company's difficulty tier.
Cultivating in the Ganwu Secret Realm meant no shortage of resources, basic techniques, battle videos, and guidance from numerous Sector Lords and even Immortal-level teachers. He now had to focus on improving his strength to face the crisis.
If he tried to tackle such a mission relying solely on his Universe-level physical body, it would be a certain death sentence—survival would be pure luck.
As a Universe-level prodigy of the Ganwu Secret Realm, his predecessor's law comprehension wasn't bad, close to that of a Virtual Universe Company Doomsday Secret Realm member.
After transmigrating, his own law comprehension was also decent. With steady cultivation, he might even have a chance to enter the Virtual Universe Company in the future.
But time was too short. His predecessor had spent centuries honing his combat skills; Zhang Dong couldn't realistically master them in five days. Rushing into the mission would be far too dangerous.
Hum~
Just as he was thinking, Zhang Dong suddenly heard a strange sound in his mind. He sank his consciousness into his body and discovered a jade-green bubble.
The bubble was about an inch in size, radiating endless faint light, incredibly mystical. As Zhang Dong covered it with his soul power, information began to flow from within.
"I knew it—coming to the Swallowed Star stage, there had to be a cheat." Zhang Dong was overjoyed. From now on, with a simple thought, he could directly travel to another world.
This world was no stranger to him—it was the source world that the Chaos Lord Yuan painstakingly created, even using two Chaos Ancestor corpses: the Boundary Heart Continent!
With his cheat now in hand, Zhang Dong immediately chose to use it.
As his soul power seeped into the bubble, time and space began to shift. The next moment, Zhang Dong arrived at the Boundary Heart Continent!
A vast, ancient city stretched before him, with a sky of infinite height and streets that extended for who knows how many miles. The life aura of every being on the street was terrifyingly powerful; the weakest among them could rival the Sector Lords and Immortals of the original universe.
Every brick and stone on the ground was enormous, its material incredibly tough, far surpassing any metal Zhang Dong had ever seen.
The city was dazzling with flowing light, and the shops along the street displayed countless exotic items, each one fascinating him.
"So this is the Boundary Heart Continent?!" Zhang Dong's heart shook violently. The density of energy here was even more exaggerated than the nutrient tanks he'd soaked in back in the original universe.
With every casual breath, vast amounts of world essence entered his body, tempering his physique and nourishing his soul.
On the Boundary Heart Continent, one was born a Transcendent Lifeform. Becoming a god within twenty years was normal, and most were gods with second-grade divine hearts.
Becoming a World God within ten thousand years was also common.
Though it wasn't as exaggerated as the Origin Continent, where one reached True God upon adulthood, the territory of the Boundary Heart Continent was simply too vast. It could support so many Transcendents and gods, with total energy surpassing even the Origin Continent.
Crack~
At that moment, Zhang Dong also felt his body undergoing changes.
The cultivation system he had practiced before was that of the Origin Continent source world. Coming to the Boundary Heart Continent, where the underlying rules didn't apply, it should have been rendered useless.
But because of the jade-green bubble in his sea of consciousness, Zhang Dong's original system still functioned. Moreover, he could comprehend and use the laws from the original universe.
The changes in his body came from the energy of the Boundary Heart Continent entering him, as the source world's rules reshaped him.
Zhang Dong had no knowledge of the Boundary Heart Continent's cultivation system, but as the energy entered him, it naturally transformed him into a Transcendent Lifeform!
Now, he had fully become a Transcendent body. If he wished, he could particleize his body at any time.
Transcendent Lifeforms could not be harmed by non-Transcendent powers; no matter how many mortals gathered, they couldn't defeat a single Transcendent.
"The rules on the Boundary Heart Continent are so much clearer than those in the original universe."
Zhang Dong carefully sensed the rules. At his current level, what he perceived were countless True Meanings. The one he felt most deeply was the Pole, as if he had already mastered it.
To be precise, he had indeed mastered the first-level Pole True Meaning.
For beings on the Boundary Heart Continent, becoming a True God wasn't easy, but with a little time, one could easily grasp one or even several first-grade divine hearts.
Yet Zhang Dong himself didn't understand why, upon arriving, he had already mastered the Pole True Meaning—it was completely natural.
After coming to the Swallowed Star world, his talent was already decent. During the process of transmigration, the mysterious energy of the jade-green bubble had caused some special changes.
Traveling between two worlds wasn't the big deal. What was truly heaven-defying was the talent born from those special changes—the ultimate cheat in this worldview: Naturalness!
"A Transcendent Lifeform? That's rare."
Beside Zhang Dong, a middle-aged man quietly passed by. He gave Zhang Dong a brief glance, then walked away without a second thought, merely finding it unusual to see a Transcendent Lifeform here.
A first-grade True Meaning Transcendent was considered a super prodigy in the Tianyu Universe. Someone so young could easily provoke several True God Sovereigns to fight over taking him as a disciple.
If a True God Sovereign of the Boundary Heart Continent encountered him, they might also consider taking him as a disciple. But beings of a higher level would never pay him any mind.
Because here, truly exceptional prodigies were born as World Gods, True Gods, or even Void Gods!
After Zhang Dong came to his senses, he carefully surveyed his surroundings. He had transmigrated into an unfamiliar city, and his top priority was to figure out which country and which era he was in.
Third-rate nations were overrun with demonic villains, extremely turbulent. Or if this was the Snow Eagle Era, that would be fine too—with the Celestial Heart Daoist around, no demonic villain would dare run rampant.
As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of shops, but nothing useful. Zhang Dong could only walk slowly. Unable to understand the language, he didn't dare rashly ask anyone.
With his dual-system physical body, mastery of first-grade True Intent, and a threshold grasp of the Laws, he was far too ordinary and weak here.
He couldn't even fly. Any random strong person on the street could crush him.
