Darkness.
That was all Xiao Yanchen knew for what felt like an eternity.
No sight. No sound. No sense of his own body.
Only an endless, crushing void that pressed against his consciousness from all sides. He tried to move, to speak, to do anything—but his body no longer seemed to exist. Had he died? Had the mysterious point near his heart destroyed him?
Then, slowly, light began to seep into the darkness.
Not the harsh light of the sun, but a soft, golden glow that pulsed like a heartbeat. It came from everywhere and nowhere at once. And as it grew brighter, Xiao Yanchen finally felt something solid beneath him.
Ground.
He was lying on something solid.
With great effort, he opened his eyes.
What he saw stole the breath from his lungs.
He was no longer in the cave behind the Xiao Clan estate. He was no longer even in the Dou Qi continent.
He lay in the center of a vast, empty plain. The ground beneath him was not soil or stone, but something that resembled polished obsidian—smooth, dark, and reflective. Above him, there was no sky. Instead, a canopy of swirling golden energy stretched endlessly in all directions, dotted with points of light that looked like distant stars.
But that was not what shocked him.
What shocked him was the planet.
In the distance—though distance seemed meaningless here—a sphere floated. It was small, perhaps only a few hundred meters in diameter, but it pulsed with the same golden light that filled this strange space. Rivers of liquid energy flowed across its surface. Mountains of crystalline structures rose from its crust. And at its very core, a brilliant sun-like flame burned, casting warm light across the entire realm.
Xiao Yanchen slowly rose to his feet. His body felt strange—lighter, yet more substantial. As if he existed here in both flesh and spirit simultaneously.
Where am I?
The moment the question formed in his mind, answers began flooding into his consciousness.
Not in words. Not in images.
In understanding. Loads of information was poured into is mind in a slow pace.
Planet of the Cosmo.
The name appeared in his thoughts like it had always been there, waiting to be remembered. This was his cheat. His golden finger. The inheritance that had slumbered within him since birth, waiting for the right moment to awaken.
And that moment was now.
Xiao Yanchen stood frozen as wave after wave of knowledge poured into his soul. His soul had broken into two pieces when his soul was traveling through the space time storm and thus he learned that he had two main bodies and of his two bodies—one here, in the Dou Qi continent, and another, far away, in a world called the Swallowed Star universe. Both bodies were real. Both were him. They had been born simultaneously across two different cosmoses, connected by an invisible thread that defied the laws of space and time.
(wait what.... Isn't it Lou Fengs world which is a Sci-Fi Novel he read in the past) thought Xiao Yanchen.
And also his gold finger had finally activated when he broke through to Dou Zhe.
Thinking about back then when he just arrived to Btth world, he eagerly did many embracing things just to activate his system or anything that he had just like other novels MCS did and because of it he got nearly beaten by his dad nearly every months luckily he was young back them he always got away with light punishments. But still thinking about that make him feel like crying a bit.
Any way lets forget about those thing and talk about his new abilities.
They we supercool and super important him currently
No barriers when cultivating in any universe.
The passive talent resonated within him. His cultivation speed, his talent, his very understanding of energy—all of it would now be shared between both bodies. Whatever one learned, the other would comprehend. Whatever realm one reached, the other would eventually follow.
And the main ability…
Xiao Yanchen's breath quickened.
I can open a gate.
A space gate connecting the Dou Qi continent to the Swallowed Star world. And not just once—infinitely, as long as he had the strength to maintain it. Through this gate, he could travel between worlds. He could observe the laws of each universe and understand them on a fundamental level.
This was beyond anything he had hoped for.
The flood of information continued, revealing the sub-abilities that lay dormant within his cheat.
Clone Bodies – Ten clones, each independent yet connected to him. But the requirement was steep: he needed Planetary stage strength in Swallowed Star, or Dou Zong in BTTH, before he could use this ability.
Eternal Slaves – Ten servants bound to him eternally. They would not die even if he perished. The condition: they must be below Planetary stage or Dou Zong when bound. A useful tool for gathering powerful followers.
Planet Living Space – The very realm he stood in now. This planet within him was not yet complete. It needed to be nurtured, fed with energy and resources, before it would reveal its true purpose.
Inherited Memories – As he grew stronger, memories from the creator of this cheat would awaken, granting him knowledge and techniques lost to the ages.
Body Forging – If any of one his bodies died, they would be recreated. Reborn with all their old strength and talents. Even his eternal slaves shared this blessing. True immortality. And he will not die until all his bodies are killed together.
Body Merge – If one body became stronger than the other, they could merge temporarily, cultivating together until their realms equalized before separating again. Perfect for rapid advancement.
Xiao Yanchen sank to his knees on the obsidian ground.
His hands trembled.
After fifteen years of waiting. Fifteen years of watching his brother struggle, of suppressing his own abilities, of fearing that the Hun Clan would discover him before he was ready…
It had finally arrived.
He was no longer powerless.
He was no longer forced to place his fate in Xiao Yan's hands.
I can walk my own path now.
But the cheat did not give him everything for free.
As the initial wave of understanding faded, Xiao Yanchen realized the truth. His Planet of the Cosmo was newborn. Weak. It needed time and resources to grow. The gate to the Swallowed Star world would open, yes, but maintaining it would drain his energy. The sub-abilities would unlock only as he reached higher realms.
Still, none of that mattered.
Because he now had something he had lacked for fifteen years.
Hope.
Xiao Yanchen rose to his feet and looked toward the small planet floating in the distance. The golden flame at its core pulsed warmly, as if acknowledging him.
He knew what he had to do next.
The gate to the Swallowed Star universe awaited. His second body—a ten-year-old boy named Luo Chen, living in a world of genetic energy and monsters—was waiting for him.
And the RR virus that would infect his body the moment he arrived?
He would face it head-on.
No more hiding, Xiao Yanchen thought, his eyes burning with determination. No more waiting for others to save me.
I will forge my own destiny.
The golden light around him intensified. The planet in the distance hummed with power.
And deep within his dantian, the mysterious point near his heart began to glow.
