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

Chapter 149, Azure Star
The "materials" provided by the Norlhan family are of far better quality than those provided by ordinary planets.

The brilliant flame of hope intertwined with that profound despair accelerated Jiang Ming's speed in opening up the abyss.

"The flame of hope born from despair shines even brighter."

Jiang Ming seemed to be deep in thought.

He was not a bloodthirsty person. He had a karmic connection with the Noranshan family, and they were by no means a benevolent group in the universe. He had no psychological burden when he took action.

On ordinary, normal planets, Jiang Ming would carefully control the process when collecting materials to ensure that it would not cause irreparable harm to the planet's inhabitants.

This experiment has given him a deeper understanding of how "Celestial Abyss" grows.

"Perhaps, in the future I can seek out some civilizations that are heading towards self-destruction, or deeply sinful..."

Jiang Ming suppressed this thought for the time being.

His gaze returned to the starry sky, where the tranquility of Earth contrasted sharply with the despair of the Noranshan family.

Light and darkness, life and death, hope and destruction.

The laws of the universe seem to be inherently like this.

"The road ahead is still long."

The Lord of Bilong, this "sharpening stone," is still struggling to survive, while his "Abyss of Calamity" still needs more and stronger "materials" to nourish it.

Three hundred and sixty illusory light clones continue to silently operate the wheel of time in every corner of the vast universe, driving the illusionary realms and absorbing the thoughts of all living beings.

New abysses are constantly being born.

……

Zerg territory, Queen's secret realm.

In the Seven-Colored Pool, the Lord of the Azure Mound suddenly opened his eyes and let out a suppressed, painful scream that seemed to come from the deepest part of his soul.

Her body trembled violently, and the surrounding life-giving fluid boiled violently.

"Owner!"

The voice of the intelligent life form, Ruyi, was choked with sobs.

"This time...this time it only lasted 9 days!"

A look of utter terror flashed in the eyes of the Lord of Bilong.

At this moment, she was certain that this secret technique was growing, transforming, and becoming stronger!
She felt as if she were being dragged into a deeper, darker abyss, sinking faster and faster.

"Russian clothing".

Her voice was hoarse and desperate.

“Record everything, present it to the tribe, and warn the tribe against the Lord of Darkness.”

"Yes, Master."

The Russian woman's voice trembled uncontrollably.

The Lord of Bilong did not speak again, but slowly closed her eyes, letting the endless illusions of pain engulf her once more.

The shadow of despair, like a black hole in the universe, is slowly swallowing her up.

But this time was different; the consciousness of the Lord of Azure was no longer resisting those painful despairs or illusions.

Instead, they actively invest their consciousness into it.

She no longer held out hope of successfully resisting this secret technique, but instead began to actively investigate it.

Hopefully, we can discover the characteristics of this secret technique and understand its weaknesses.

This serves as a warning to those who come after.

From an ordinary Zergling to a cosmic overlord, she has experienced countless life-and-death trials throughout her life.

For her, death was only a matter of whether it was worth it or not.

If we can discover the weakness of this secret technique, what does it matter if we are trapped in eternal darkness or die?
For the sake of our people!

worth!

……

Earth, inside the quiet interior of the castle.

Jiang Ming glanced at the World Ring in his hand with some regret.

"Although the illusion is illusory, it is not without harm."

Each cycle of despair allowed me to draw upon a wealth of 'material'—a mixture of despair and hope—but it also hastened the deaths of these people.

Inside the World Ring, the bodies of the 7.9 billion members of the Norlan Mountain family were unharmed, their breathing calm, and their chests rising and falling normally. But their eyes were completely empty; although they were still breathing, their souls seemed to have been drained, leaving only numb shells.

Their consciousness had already undergone hundreds of cycles of torment and collapse in the illusion. Even when they were pulled back to reality, their core consciousness had been shattered, turning them into a dazed and confused existence.

"Emotions are a double-edged sword."

“The right positive emotions can be a powerful tool to cut through the thorns on the path of evolution.”

"Extreme negative emotions can also become the sword that kills you."

With a gentle squeeze of his hand, Jiang Ming shattered the World Ring completely in his hand.

Everything inside was pulverized into the fundamental particles of the universe.

No trace was left.

Even the spatial rifts and fluctuations created when the World Ring was destroyed did not occur.

"However, other ordinary planets can provide me with less 'material' these days."

Jiang Ming couldn't help but think of it.

Although they reincarnate repeatedly in the illusion, the planet's inhabitants have new identities and new experiences in each reincarnation.

But their soul consciousness has never changed, even after countless reincarnations.

Jiang Ming can no longer collect them; there are too many new things now.

……

In a galaxy approximately 9700 million light-years from Earth.

A bright green planet adorns the starry sky, like a shining pearl.

This planet was not shown on the star map; it was a life-bearing planet that Jiang Ming discovered by accident.

Jiang Ming named her Bi Liuxing.

“It’s time to wake up.”

Observing the scenes unfolding within the illusionary world, Jiang Ming had a sudden thought.

The illusory world shattered like a bubble.

All human consciousness returned to their own bodies.

"Me? I am the Wasteland Dragon Hunter!"

"No, I am the young master of Jiangcheng, or no, I am the lord of Xingcheng... no, I..."

……

The moment everyone's consciousness returned, fragments of their past experiences in the virtual world flooded into their minds.

Although these illusory experiences are false, they are real to the people within the illusion.

With all these fantastical experiences, the humans on this planet are no longer ordinary.

"Judging by the time, the Celestial Group's spaceship should be arriving soon."

These people experience a series of illusory lives, and compared to ordinary interstellar citizens, they are all extraordinary.

Jiang Ming wouldn't let them fend for themselves in the starry sky, so he arranged for people from the Celestial God Group to guide them into the starry sky.

With his protection, these people, despite experiencing countless reincarnations within the illusion, maintained their bodies in optimal condition.

Having had such an experience, perhaps some strong individuals will emerge from among those who venture into the starry sky.

At that moment, a silver triangular spaceship appeared from the starry sky and landed on Biliu Star.

Outside the Azure Star, Jiang Ming's illusory light clone floated silently.

As the silver triangular spaceship slowly descended, the hatch opened, and several staff members dressed in the uniforms of the Celestial Group stepped out.

They began to make contact with the native inhabitants of Biluxing, who had just awakened from a long illusion and were still somewhat confused.

Guidance, registration, initial indoctrination of interstellar civilization knowledge... everything proceeded smoothly.

"The seeds have been planted. Whether they can take root and sprout in the stars depends on your own destiny."

Jiang Ming whispered, and the illusory light clone disappeared into the starry sky, heading towards a new life-bearing planet.

He did not interfere much.

Providing opportunities, rather than dictating the future, is the best way to respect a civilization.

Those souls that have been tempered through countless cycles of illusion possess potential far exceeding that of ordinary interstellar citizens, and may indeed bring him some surprises in the future.
