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

Chapter 187, Two Contingency Plans for Breaking Through Immortality
"How perverted!"

Sofia's bright, beautiful eyes couldn't hide her shock.

The battlefield system requires a higher amount of military merit for those who are stronger.

When new recruits join the battlefield outside the region, the amount of military merit they are assigned actually accurately reflects their strength.

"It's alright, after all, I am a marquis."

Jiang Ming knew very well that the battlefield system had given him such a high military merit because the fabricated identity of the Champion Marquis was the reason for his immortality as a marquis.

If he fabricated the identity of a realm lord, then the requirements for military merit would be significantly lower.

But whether he fabricated a title of nobility or a title of realm lord, the change was only in the battlefield system's requirement for Jiang Ming's military merit quota.

This cannot change the Virtual Universe Company's requirements regarding Jiang Ming's military merit quota.

The virtual universe company's world master's life-or-death trials also require Jiang Ming to accumulate 10 trillion military merits.

A military merit of 10 trillion is already the upper limit for the life-and-death trials of a Realm Lord.

But given Jiang Ming's abilities, fulfilling this requirement is not difficult.

Therefore, Jiang Ming simply entered the battlefield as a marquis, which would allow him to complete the task more quickly.

The members of the Flame Abyss Squad were still reeling from the shock.

Ten trillion yuan in military merit quota!
What level of capability is required to qualify for such a quota?

"Ten trillion"

Marquis Yan Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and looked at Jiang Ming with even more complicated emotions.

"It seems the virtual universe system has a very high opinion of you."

However, given the strength you just demonstrated, accumulating ten trillion military merits is not difficult.

According to the rules, the discoverer and the main combat force will receive the lion's share of the profits from this crystal-refining mine. You will receive 70%, and the remaining 30% will be distributed among the rest of us.

No one objected to this allocation plan.

If it weren't for Jiang Ming, they would never have found this place, let alone so easily captured a guard team led by a marquis.

Jiang Ming did not refuse and nodded in acceptance.

These military achievements and resources may not mean much to him personally, but taking them is what it means to integrate into the team.

"We can hold this resource point for a while and make some arrangements."

After the allocation was completed, Jiang Ming offered his suggestions.

"Yes, I think so too. The resources at this resource point have been almost completely depleted. Even if the Zerg send people to take it back, their strength won't be too great."

We can deploy detection devices and defense mechanisms around the area.

Marquis Yanyuan nodded in agreement, as this coincided with her thoughts.

The entire Zerg Second Battlefield covers an area of ​​600 million star systems. In such a vast area, most of the starry sky is very empty, and enemies can be seen in the distance at a glance. If they are not a match, they can escape early.

Therefore, there are not many suitable areas for combat; they are mostly places with special environments or strategic locations.

In the Dark Tide Star Abyss, the environment greatly reduces detection range, making most battles encounters.

Therefore, it can be considered a suitable location for fighting.

The detection range in the core area of ​​the Dark Tide Star Abyss has decreased again due to environmental factors.

However, if a stronghold is established and a large number of fixed detection devices are deployed around it, the enemy's strength can be detected in advance to decide whether to fight or flee.

The Zerg's second battlefield command center, inside the main control chamber of the 'Crimson Nest'.

Jiang Ming, the 'Mantis King', coldly scanned the vast three-dimensional star map with his compound eyes. Commands generated by the 'Hive Will' algorithm were issued by him efficiently and precisely, like the most sophisticated war machine, ruthlessly commanding billions of Zerg units.

Deep within his consciousness, a wisp of it lingered, immersed in the 'Abyss of Calamity'.

The pool of tribulation power located deep within the 'Azure Ridge Hell of Ten Thousand Insects' has now expanded several times over. Thick, ink-like tribulation power churns and boils within it, emanating a dark aura that sends shivers down one's spine.

At the edge of the pool, newborn figures slowly crawled out.

These are all 'Slaves' recently captured and successfully converted by the 'Abyssal Zerg' squad. Their numbers are growing exponentially.

The embodiment of the Lord of Bilong's will stood quietly to one side, respectfully reporting.

"Master, the total number of slaves has now exceeded 10,000, including 1,021 Immortals and over 19,000 World Lords."

The transformed slaves have all evaded the 'Hive Will's' judgment and successfully returned to the Zerg Alliance.

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

“Not bad, but we need to be more discreet lately. The frequent brief loss of contact has already attracted the attention of the ‘Hive Will’.”

After being transformed into slaves, Jiang Ming did not keep these slaves in the 'Abyss of Calamity' but instead redeployed them back to the Zerg Alliance camp.

The Zerg Alliance's communication methods are not designed for constant, uninterrupted real-time communication across the entire faction, which is why brief periods of disconnection occasionally occur.

This is not because the Zerg's communication methods are outdated, but because achieving real-time communication is too difficult on a scale of light-years in the universe.

Even the most technologically advanced mechanical race could not build a real-time communication network larger than a single universe nation.

Moreover, it's not impossible for malfunctions to occur, leading to temporary loss of connection.

Even in extraterritorial battlefields, after establishing countless communication nodes, this only improved the situation, but did not achieve complete security.

"Take it slow, there's still plenty of time, so let's not make too much of a fuss for now."

Jiang Ming was not in a hurry. The longer the time went on, the more slaves he could convert, and the stronger the 'Abyss of Calamity' would become. He himself would also become stronger as the 'Abyss of Calamity' grew stronger.

While constantly transforming his slaves and accumulating strength, Jiang Ming never stopped comprehending the laws of fusion and researching his innate secret techniques.

With the fusion of the laws of the Beast God statue and the supreme perspective granted by the 'Origin of Chaos', Jiang Ming is now like a sponge absorbing water, greedily absorbing insights into each law.

"My innate secret techniques, though each has its own function, lack a secret technique with powerful destructive force."

Jiang Ming was already used to multitasking. With his consciousness, even while observing the outside world and coordinating the Zerg battlefield, it did not affect his comprehension of the laws.

As Jiang Ming continued to comprehend and study the laws, he went further and further in his understanding of the Way of Laws.

But there was still no sign of him breaking through to immortality.

The singularity that bears the 'Cataclysmic Abyss Spacetime' is so solid that it is unimaginable, reaching a level that even Jiang Ming cannot comprehend.

At this moment, he even doubted whether his 'Calamus Abyss Space-Time' would continue to accumulate and grow in this way.

In the future, even if he comprehends the fundamental laws of the higher realms, he may still be unable to break through the 'singularity' within his body.

In theory, one who comprehends the fundamental laws of the higher realms will surely become a venerable being.

However, Jiang Ming's current situation is far beyond normal; the 'Celestial Abyss Space-Time' cannot be considered an ordinary inner world at all.

In terms of volume, the 'Celestial Abyss Spacetime' is not actually that large, currently only a mere two billion kilometers in diameter, which is naturally enormous compared to a normal World Lord.

However, even among some extremely powerful beings, they are not considered the absolute top.

However, the 'Abyss of Calamity', after undergoing multiple transformations, possesses an essence that surpasses the normal inner world.

As for Jiang Ming, he is still constantly filling it with calamity slaves, opening up the abyss, and continuously expanding the 'calamity abyss space-time' until the 'calamity abyss space-time' grows to an incredible level in the future.

The difficulty of breaking through it would naturally reach an extremely exaggerated level.

"I created three killing moves based on the Beast God statue, and there is still great potential to be explored. I can use these as a foundation to improve my self-created secret techniques."

Jiang Ming also had a plan in mind regarding how to break through to immortality, given his unique talent of 'Origin of Chaos'.

If Jiang Ming could comprehend even a rudimentary form of the laws of chaos, he would naturally be able to easily break through the 'singularity'.

Another way is to rely on secret techniques.

If the self-created secret techniques that one comprehends are powerful enough, they may naturally be able to break the 'singularity'.

“I can do both at the same time. I’m not in a hurry to break through before I perfect the ‘Abyss of Calamity’.”

'The Abyss of Calamity' is Jiang Ming's inner world. The stronger his inner world is, the greater the benefits Jiang Ming will receive when it transforms into a divine kingdom.
