Swallowing the Stars: Level 1, One Talent, Invincible Chaos Origin

Chapter 146, The Rapidly Increased Speed ​​of Abyss Opening
The innate secret technique of the Wheel of Time permeated almost his entire cultivation career.

If Jiang Ming hadn't successfully acquired this innate secret technique at the stellar level, his cultivation path would never have been so smooth.

Although it follows the path of the laws of time, which is inconsistent with the path he built in the early days, it has not diminished its heaven-defying power in the slightest.

In the meditation room, Jiang Ming sat cross-legged, and a dark golden wheel of time condensed and appeared on his chest.

Grains of golden sand flowed continuously, radiating a brilliant golden light that gradually dyed the wheel a dazzling gold.

The roulette wheel slowly turns, as if guiding the invisible river of time to flow along with it, and time quietly changes with each turn.

The dark golden wheel slowly rotated in front of Jiang Ming's chest. The originally blurry and flowing time law patterns on it gradually became clearer and more solid, as if they had been carefully engraved by an invisible hand.

Four million years of cultivation and four million years of experience and application have all converged into the understanding of the "Wheel of Time" at this moment.

"Om~"

A soft, yet soul-piercing hum resounded.

The dark golden wheel suddenly shone brightly, and as the golden sand on it flowed, countless tiny, extremely refined time law runes wrapped around it.

These runes combine and arrange themselves in the hourglass at the very center of the roulette wheel, forming a continuous time loop.

Become!

The first stage of the Wheel of Time: complete enlightenment!
Almost at the same time.

In various star regions within the Qianwu Universe, Jiang Ming's 360 illusory light clones simultaneously opened their eyes.

At this moment, a miniature version of the Wheel of Time, yet with the same complete structure, lit up at the core of the consciousness of each clone!
"Sure enough!"

In a galaxy about 9700 million light-years from Earth, Jiang Ming silently observed the planet before him.

The planet before us is about 12,000 kilometers in diameter, entirely green, and has a land area of ​​82 percent.

It is like a bright green pearl.

On land, there is no sign of civilization; ferocious terrestrial predators are the true rulers of this planet.

The humans on this planet were at that time just primitive ape tribes.

The spark of civilization has not yet been ignited on this planet.

Under Jiang Ming's will, all life on the planet fell into a state of slumber.

Consciousnesses intertwine to form a vast illusionary world.

Time accelerates in this illusory world; a few seconds pass outside, but decades pass inside.

"The Third Civilization has been destroyed."

Jiang Ming observed the evolution within the illusionary world. The illusionary world had now become desolate, and the entire emerald green planet had turned scorched and withered.

"Where there are people, there is conflict."

Jiang Ming watched everything that was happening in the illusionary world.

"From the primitive era, it took 70,000 years for the ape-man tribe to ignite the spark of civilization."

But in just two thousand years, they overthrew the rule of other predators on this planet and became its dominant species.

"Lust, lust for power, greed... all sorts of desires drove them to establish city-states and nations, but also brought war and slaughter."

The shortest period from rise to destruction was just over 6,700 years.

"In the early days, it was simply for food, for survival, and for the right to reproduce."

In the later stages, they pursue beauty, power, spacious and luxurious residences, and becoming superior to others! Jiang Ming's gaze seemed to transcend the barriers of time.

"But some people pursue knowledge and explore the limits of evolution."

"They developed medicines to save lives, invented technologies to make life easier, and were eager to learn with a noble spirit."

At that moment, a phantom image of a time wheel appeared within Jiang Ming's body.

The Wheel of Time condensed on Jiang Ming's chest, and the continuously solidifying wheel slowly rotated, emitting mysterious and unpredictable fluctuations of the laws of time.

As the roulette wheel spins, the evolution of the illusory world accelerates wildly once again.

In the outside world, hundreds of years have passed in the illusion.

"The Time Wheel cast by the clone is much weaker than that cast by the main body, and it does not have 'Source Crystals' to provide energy."

The acceleration couldn't be increased too much, but it still greatly improved my observation speed.

What used to take several days or even dozens of days to observe a civilization cycle has now been more than ten times more efficient!
As the wheel of time turns, time continues to flow.

Jiang Ming continuously collected the thoughts and feelings of every living being in the illusion. Those "sparks" that burst forth under extreme emotions—despair, love, ambition, prayer—these extreme emotional fragments constantly converged into the 'Abyss of Calamity'.

This scene is not just playing out on one planet, but before the appearance of 360 illusory light clones.

Countless diverse civilizations evolve, collide, interact, destroy, and are reborn in parallel within a series of fantastical worlds.

The resulting torrent of thoughts is complex yet refined, as dazzling and deadly as a kaleidoscope.

A massive influx of thoughts and information surged forth, guided by Jiang Ming's will, and flowed into the "Abyss of Calamity" in the spiritual world.

"Chi chi chi~~~"

New abysses were being opened up, constructed, and shaped at an unprecedented speed.

Floor 715, Floor 716... Floor 800... Floor 900...

The total number of abysses is rapidly approaching four digits.

Each newly formed abyss bears the unique imprint of its original civilization, whether mysterious, fiery, icy, or deathly still.

When they are combined, the overall power of the "Abyss of Calamity" increases once again, and its structure becomes even more complex and unpredictable.

The Lord of Bilong, trapped within, had his consciousness, which had been divided into hundreds of parts, constantly being divided again as the abyss expanded. The torment he endured increased accordingly, and the pain multiplied exponentially.

All of this made her struggles weaker and weaker, and the signs of her consciousness sinking became more and more obvious.

Earth, inside the quiet interior of the castle.

Jiang Ming slowly opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.

"360 clones simultaneously using the Wheel of Time to activate the illusion and absorb thoughts—this efficiency is truly astonishing."

He could sense that the "Abyss of Calamity" within his spiritual world was becoming "thicker" and "richer" at an unprecedented speed.

Countless fragments of thoughts from different civilizations, races, and individuals flowed like rivers into the sea, merging into the abyss and becoming nourishment for their growth.

These materials may vary in quality when viewed individually, but when the quantity becomes large enough, the quantitative change triggers a strange qualitative change.

The "Abyss of Calamity" itself seems to be giving birth to a peculiar aura that is more inclusive, more chaotic, and closer to the essence of "all thoughts returning to oneness".

This feedback allowed Jiang Ming to elevate his understanding of the "Abyss of Calamity" and his grasp of the thoughts of all living beings to a new level.

He even vaguely sensed that his will crystal core, under the endless washing and cleansing of his thoughts, seemed to have become more transparent and resilient, and the radiant light of his will, "My heart is unwavering, and I will never be worn down," was becoming more and more brilliant.
