Born a World Lord

Fenglin Universe Kingdom, Carlos Star Sector.

On a life-bearing planet called Lanfeng, fifteen-year-old Qin Ming stood on his balcony, quietly gazing up at the three moons in the night sky. His eyes held a depth and confusion far beyond his years.

Fifteen years had passed.

In his previous life, Qin Ming had been hit by a "stroke of good fortune." When he opened his eyes again, he had become the third young master of a Universe Level family in this universe, standing from birth at a finish line countless lives could never reach, no matter how long they spent striving.

The Qin Family—one of the five great families of the low-level cosmic civilization known as the Kaluo Empire.

Their old ancestor, Qin Shanhai, was a ninth-level Universe Level expert who had ruled the Liusha Star Sector for three thousand years, commanding more than two hundred resource planets.

Lanfeng was merely the most ordinary among them. It had been given to Qin Ming as a gift for his fifteenth birthday.

"Third Young Master, the night wind is getting chilly."

A gentle voice came from behind him. Qin Ming didn't turn around, only raising a hand slightly to signal that he'd heard. The maid quietly withdrew, leaving him alone to face this unfamiliar starry sky.

If this were an ordinary world, Qin Ming really could have lived a carefree life.

Wealth, status, power—the goals ordinary people spent their entire lives pursuing had all been his from birth.

But...

This was the world of Swallowed Star.

In a world like this, even someone as powerful as Qin Shanhai was no more than a speck of dust in the boundless sea of stars.

Universe Level? Domain Lord? World Lord? Even Immortality? In the eyes of true powerhouses, these were only the beginning of a long journey.

Qin Ming, who had read the original novel, knew all too well how terrifying this world was.

Powerhouses capable of Reverse Time and Space were everywhere. Even joining certain major powers could mean having the course of one's life traced back and investigated.

That was why Qin Ming had hidden himself carefully from the moment he was born, never daring to reveal the slightest abnormality.

And the secret he had to hide was more than just his identity as a transmigrator.

Deep in his consciousness, that perspective in the midst of chaos had been with him for fifteen years.

Qin Ming closed his eyes and sank his mind into his sea of consciousness.

There, besides the ever-growing core of his soul, was another "perspective," as if he were watching the world through a thick layer of crystal. Everything appeared indistinct and far away.

For the first few years, that perspective had been nothing but pure darkness and silence.

Then, when he was eight, he heard a sound for the first time: a faint heartbeat, a rhythmic thudding that came through some kind of liquid.

As time passed, the sounds grew clearer. He heard the flow of water, indistinct voices, and even occasionally sensed changes in the light.

But what shocked him most was the aura he "felt" through that perspective when he was twelve.

It was a presence as vast as the sea of stars and as ancient as time. Even a trace of it, leaking out unintentionally, was enough to make his soul tremble.

Combining all this information, Qin Ming reached an unsettling conclusion: his "other consciousness" was still gestating, and the process had already lasted at least fifteen years.

In the myths of his previous life, Nezha's three-year gestation had already shaken heaven and earth.

In the world of Swallowed Star, however, a longer gestation period often meant a stronger bloodline and a more terrifying background.

To find out what was happening to him, Qin Ming had spent years gathering information through various channels. He confirmed that the Fenglin Universe Kingdom he was in belonged to the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

More importantly, through the Virtual Universe Network, he had found a familiar name—Hu Yanbo.

The Master of Yunmo Star was still active in the Ganwu Universe Kingdom, a renowned Immortal Expert.

Hu Yanbo's existence made it easy for Qin Feng to determine that he was living in an era before Luo Feng.

However, Qin Ming still wasn't sure exactly how many years before Luo Feng's time it was.

After all, the original novel mentioned that Hu Yanbo had lived for more than fifty million years.

At the thought, Qin Ming's lips curled into a bitter smile. He had once made a naive plan: if the identity of his other consciousness was powerful enough, perhaps he could take advantage of it and rise with its support.

If it turned out to be ordinary, he would work hard to cultivate to Immortality, then head to Earth and take Luo Feng as his disciple after Hu Yanbo's death.

After all, knowing the future was already the greatest advantage of all. Luo Feng would eventually become a Hunyuan Lord and command a Source World. If Qin Ming could become his master, surely he could at least become a God King, right?

Time passed, and a year vanished in the blink of an eye.

On Lanfeng, Qin Ming celebrated his sixteenth birthday.

The Qin Family held a grand celebration. Every influential faction in the star sector sent someone with a gift, eager to flatter this promising third young master.

Amid the clinking of glasses, Qin Ming kept a composed smile on his face, but inside, his mind was a storm-tossed sea, churning with waves.

The "other self" that had been gestating deep within his consciousness for sixteen years was finally about to be born today.

The celebration reached its climax, and dazzling fireworks made from cosmic energy lit up the night sky until it was as bright as day.

Then, in a single instant, a clear tremor rang out from deep within Qin Ming's soul, like the birth of the universe.

The dark perspective that had lingered there for sixteen years was instantly flooded with boundless light!

An overwhelming torrent of information, sensations, and images surged into Qin Ming's primary consciousness. His body swayed almost imperceptibly. He calmly masked it by raising his glass, though his heart was already pounding wildly.

He received the first message from his newly born split consciousness.

"Pledge your loyalty to the great God King of Jin!"

"This is... Jin World?"

Qin Ming nearly cried out. Forcing down his agitation, he quickly "read" the basic knowledge and environmental information his split consciousness had sent over on a soul level.

That's right. The unique aura and the split consciousness's innate sense of belonging both pointed to the same place: Jin World.

An enormous rush of joy surged through him like an electric current.

Jin World!

It was the God King's Internal World from the original Swallowed Star, where Luo Feng had encountered one of the greatest opportunities of the early stages during his time in the Universe Ocean!

This place held not only countless treasures and inheritances, but also a heaven-defying Mechanical Flow Treasure like Wuqi God.

Most importantly, it was a world created by Mountain Guest, the reincarnated God King and creator of the Earth Lineage, in his previous life!

And Qin Ming's split consciousness had become a native of this world.

Then an even deeper shock hit him.

Through his split consciousness, Qin Ming clearly "saw" the companions who had been born alongside him, and felt the surging, boundless power within "his" body.

World Lord!

Undeniably, World Lord Level power!

His life level, genetic Origin Energy, and soul strength were all far beyond the Planetary Level his true self had painstakingly cultivated to in the Primal Universe.

And because of Jin World's unique life structure and environment, this World Lord's foundation was far more solid and powerful than that of someone at the same level in the Primal Universe.

"Born... already a World Lord..."

At the banquet in the main universe, Qin Ming drank the wine in his glass. Its coolness helped him regain a little composure.
