Swallowed Star 2: Origin Continent - Chapter 22: Servant
Moyu Hu brought his three brothers to the main gate of Luo Feng’s cave.
“The cave mansion in the Chaos Armor Zone!”
The eyes of the three brothers from the Moyu family were blazing. This area was legendary throughout Huyang City, right next to the Chaos Ruins. Those who lived here were the most terrifying beings in Huyang City, and in the past, the three brothers dared not approach.
“Father is indeed formidable, to have secured such an opportunity for us! This is the greatest chance of my life; I must seize it with all my might!” The eldest of the Moyu family, the burliest one, had eyes sharp as knives.
“Eldest brother and youngest brother both have higher talent than me. If this Luo He Supreme is going to choose one among us three, my hope is the smallest,” the second brother of the Moyu family thought to himself but did not give up, “I will give it my all!”
“Eldest brother has the highest talent,” the youngest brother of the Moyu family was also pondering, “I wonder how the Eternal True God will select his disciple.”
While the three brothers each had their own thoughts, Moyu Hu stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door, and an invisible ripple spread out.
Soon, the honest-looking Morosa opened the door and glanced at them, “Come in.”
“Yes.” Moyu Hu lowered his posture and led his three children into the cave mansion together.
The three brothers felt a bit nervous entering such a vast and grand cave mansion. The chaotic aura here was extremely dense, almost thick enough to condense into chaos stones.
Inside the pavilion.
“Greetings, Supreme,” Moyu Hu respectfully saluted, and the three brothers directly knelt down.
“Rise.” Luo Feng held the book that recorded the information of the three brothers from the Moyu family.
“You three brothers, the eldest is at the ninth level of the True God realm, and the other two are at the sixth level,” Luo Feng said. “However, in my place, the level of the True God realm is meaningless.”
The three brothers’ hearts trembled.
“I will choose one of you to be my servant,” Luo Feng said. “The time as a servant will be very, very long. Only by passing my tests can you become my disciple.”
“We understand.” The eldest, ‘Moyu Liefeng,’ the second, ‘Moyu Qingyan,’ and the youngest, ‘Moyu Liuxing,’ were all extremely respectful.
“I will first clarify some conditions. Anyone unwilling to be my servant can say so in advance, but once you become my servant, there will be no chance for regret,” Luo Feng said.
The three brothers listened attentively.
Luo Feng said leisurely, “Being my servant is very dangerous! In the future, many Eternal True Gods will want to kill me, and you may be implicated. I cannot guarantee that I will always be able to protect you. So, as my servant, you must be prepared to die!”
The eldest, Moyu Liefeng, said, “Since we follow the Supreme, we naturally bear the blessings and the misfortunes ourselves.”
“We do not fear death, only the lack of opportunity,” the second brother, Moyu Qingyan, also spoke.
The youngest, Moyu Liuxing, hesitated slightly and asked, “May I ask, Supreme, will there be many Eternal True Gods as your enemies?”
“There will be many, and they will stop at nothing,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
In assassination missions, Luo Feng’s main target was the leader of the lurking forces of Shiguo, ‘Blood Cloud.’ The opponent’s brutal and violent methods, as well as his identity, made Luo Feng very interested in hunting him. The only problem was that Blood Cloud’s whereabouts were unknown.
After all, the Five Great Families of the City Lord’s Mansion were also doing their best to deal with the lurking forces of Shiguo and wanted to kill Blood Cloud, so Blood Cloud had always been cautious and hidden, making it difficult for Luo Feng to find an opportunity.
Since he decided to take on some assassination missions, Luo Feng knew that there would be no shortage of enemies in the future.
Of course, he and Morosa, one in the light and one in the dark, would also try their best to ensure the safety of the servants.
“Father, I give up,” Moyu Liuxing said.
Moyu Hu looked at his youngest son but was not surprised. Because his youngest son was born the latest, by then, the conditions of the couple were sufficient, and the youngest son grew up in the most comfortable environment.
“I prefer quiet cultivation,” Moyu Liuxing said, as he disliked a life full of crises.
“Alright, one has given up.” Luo Feng nodded, “After becoming my servant, I will not give him any cultivation guidance or resources.”
The eldest, Moyu Liefeng, and the second, Moyu Qingyan, were both stunned.
“He needs to comprehend the laws by himself,” Luo Feng said. “Only after mastering the ten basic laws can he be considered to have passed the first test. After going through multiple tests, he will be eligible to become my disciple.”
“No guidance, to comprehend the ten basic laws?” The eldest and second brothers of the Moyu family were shocked.
The beings born on Origin Continent almost all became True Gods because they practiced the bloodline cultivation method! If they took the path of the laws, the proportion of those who became True Gods would greatly decrease.
Comprehending the ten basic laws was extremely difficult!
“Since birth, we have been practicing the bloodline cultivation method. Even if we exhaust our entire lives, it would be very difficult to comprehend the ten basic laws,” Moyu Liefeng said. “If we can never comprehend them…”
“If you cannot comprehend them, you naturally cannot become my disciple,” Luo Feng said. “Even if you comprehend them, there will be other tests.”
Moyu Liefeng was very unwilling but still said, “I give up.”
Moyu Hu watched his eldest son. The eldest son could endure hardship and was very determined, but the test of ‘comprehending the ten basic laws’ made him give up voluntarily.
“And you?” Luo Feng looked at the second brother of the Moyu family, ‘Moyu Qingyan.’ “Will you give up?”
“I am willing to follow the Supreme,” Moyu Qingyan did not hesitate.
Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction and then looked at Moyu Hu, “Let it be Moyu Qingyan then. From now on, he will be my servant.”
“Thank you, Supreme.” Moyu Hu had observed the choices of his children throughout and was not surprised by this outcome, knowing his three sons’ temperaments well.
Luo Feng nodded, “From now on, Moyu Qingyan will live here.”
“Then we will take our leave.” Moyu Hu respectfully took his leave, taking his other two sons away, leaving only his second son, ‘Moyu Qingyan,’ with Luo Feng.
“I have said, I will not guide you, nor will I give you cultivation resources,” Luo Feng said to Moyu Qingyan. “You need to concentrate on comprehending the ten basic laws. As for some trivial matters within the cave mansion, follow Morosa’s arrangements!”
“Yes, Supreme,” Moyu Qingyan said respectfully.
“Boy, you have to call the master the same as I do,” Morosa said.
“Yes, Master,” Moyu Qingyan obediently replied.
“Morosa, help me teach him well,” Luo Feng waved his hand. While he would not give any guidance or resources, he did not forbid Morosa from providing some guidance.
“Boy, follow me!” Morosa grabbed Moyu Qingyan by the neck and cheerfully walked out. From now on, he could instruct Moyu Qingyan to serve him and the master.
Luo Feng watched this scene with a smile.
The biggest flaw of the bloodline cultivation system was the weak foundation! Relying solely on bloodline power to advance until hitting a bottleneck and getting stuck.
In the inheritances of the Broken Eastern River lineage and the Jin Divine King lineage, it was recorded that the top clans on Origin Continent required their descendants to ‘at least master the ten basic laws.’ After mastering the basic laws, understanding the bloodline cultivation method would be much easier, and they could go further on the bloodline cultivation path.
“To be my disciple, even if they cannot follow the path of the laws, at least they should go far on the bloodline cultivation path,” Luo Feng thought. “On Origin Continent, the environment for comprehending the laws is much better than in the original universe! Morosa can also occasionally guide him! If he still cannot master the ten basic laws, then he is too useless and not worthy of being my disciple!”

Moyu Hu and his two children returned home.
“The path you chose yourselves, do not regret it,” Moyu Hu said as soon as they arrived home.
“Father, I am not afraid of death, but I fear not having a chance to rise,” the eldest, Moyu Liefeng, said solemnly. “I am now at the ninth level of the True God realm. With more effort, I hope to break through to the Void True God. As for the so-called ten basic laws, I have tried to comprehend them before. I know I may never understand them fully in my lifetime.”
The youngest, Moyu Liuxing, smiled and said, “Father, I chose my path willingly.”
“Good, as long as there are no complaints.”
Moyu Hu nodded without saying much. The path of the children must be walked by
themselves!
Moreover, he also felt that the path of his second son, Moyu Qingyan, would not be easy.
—
Night fell.
In the large cave mansion of the Diao Rong Clan.
“Qier went to the Magili Clan again; she is indeed close to Magili Feiyun.” The old man with furry eyebrows thought, “She spends more time with Magili Feiyun than with me, her father.”
He was happy about it, as the Magili Clan was one of the Five Great Families!
Suddenly—
A blood-colored aura instantly rushed into the large cave mansion, and the array that had been running in the large cave mansion was torn apart in the blink of an eye.
“Who!” The old man with furry eyebrows, ‘Diao Rong Yan,’ turned pale, and a terrifying wave erupted from him, spreading dazzling red light towards the blood-colored aura.
“A universe formed by a single thought, my cave mansion is enveloped and completely isolated from the outside world,” Diao Rong Yan knew things were bad. In an instant, he revealed his massive true form, a creature with furry tail and red hair standing upright.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on?” The members of the Diao Rong Clan inside the cave mansion saw Diao Rong Yan’s towering true form and were panicking.
“Unexpectedly, you, an alchemist, have a few tricks up your sleeve.” A cold voice sounded in Diao Rong Yan’s consciousness, “But it’s useless in front of me.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Diao Rong Yan urgently said, “Please stop, we can talk about everything.”
A giant blood-colored hand appeared out of thin air, grasping Diao Rong Yan’s true form in an instant, causing it to shatter. Then, endless blood light swept through the entire cave mansion, annihilating all living beings inside, whether they were members of the Diao Rong Clan or servants and guards, everyone was wiped out in the blood light.
—
In the City Lord’s Mansion of Huyang City, inside a hall.
“The cave mansion of the Diao Rong Clan was suddenly enveloped by a small universe domain, and there was a strong divine power eruption in that area.” The officials monitoring the city noticed the situation at the Diao Rong Clan’s location.
“Report to the City Lord immediately.”
—
Inside the Magili Clan’s cave mansion.
Diao Rongqi and Magili Feiyun, the two women, were drinking and chatting.
“I like my senior brother, but he ignores me…” Magili Feiyun was drunk and rambling.
“I want to become a disciple, to apprentice under Commander Magili Xiao, but he looks down on me. I want to apprentice under Luo He Divine Lord, but he also looks down on me…” Diao Rongqi was also drinking and troubled.
Suddenly—
Diao Rongqi’s communication token received a message.
“Qier, the one who killed me is the President of the Blood Python Society, ‘Mu Yang.’ Remember this…” A message of last words came through.
A small universe domain isolates inside and outside, ordinary communication tokens cannot transmit information. But Diao Rong Yan used a rather expensive causal communication token, still managing to send a message before dying.
“Father!” Diao Rongqi shuddered, instantly sobering up.
“What happened?” Magili Feiyun, still groggy, asked from the side.
