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

Chapter 188, Earth's Secrets Exposed

In a desolate star field, red-haired Jiang Ming practiced his swordsmanship with a flaming longsword.

The blade's edge sometimes transformed into the tail of a beast god tearing through the starry sky, sometimes like the chaotic light that separated the clear from the turbid, and sometimes like the final point where all calamities converge.

His understanding of the laws of fusion and his refinement of his self-created secret techniques became increasingly profound.

Jiang Ming's three bodies now each have their own roles: his human body is in the Zerg battlefield command center, while his Mother Stone clone is walking on the Zerg's second battlefield.

Only the Vulcan clone was relatively free, having time to practice the secret techniques in reality.

In fact, practicing secret techniques in the virtual universe is the same. Most of Jiang Ming's comprehension and verification also took place in the virtual universe.

But he also occasionally rehearses and verifies in the real universe.

"Huh, there's an email from Teacher Chaos City Lord."

Jiang Ming's wisp of consciousness lingered in the virtual universe and immediately noticed the Chaos City Lord's email.

Jiang Ming opened the email and quickly read its contents.

The email was quite long, but the main point was that after Hong joined the Giant Axe Arena, he ventured into the Illusionary Sea, which led to the appearance of several super beings from the Giant Axe Arena.

The Illusionary Sea is one of the three practice sites for the human race to train core members below the Immortal level from the five major forces.

It is divided into 'Bridge to Heaven', 'Sea of ​​Illusions', and 'Altar of Immortality', which correspond to the understanding of laws, the consciousness of the mind, and the exertion of physical power, respectively.

Hong, on the other hand, ventured into the 21st island in the Illusionary Sea.

The 21st island, its willpower and pressure reached the level of a Cosmic Venerable!

But Hong is only at the cosmic level now. How can a cosmic level withstand the pressure of a cosmic venerable's will?

Such an event was naturally a major upheaval, directly causing several top figures from the highest levels of the Giant Axe Arena to descend and suppress the news.

Furthermore, the founder of the Giant Axe Arena has arrived! He has accepted Hong as his disciple.

As Hong encountered such an opportunity, the unique nature of Earth was also realized.

"So the teacher knew all along."

After reading the email, Jiang Ming's expression didn't change much. The secrets of Earth would be discovered sooner or later as he and Luo Feng rose to power.

Currently, Luo Feng is still somewhat 'unknown'. Although he has become a member of the 'Primitive Secret Realm', his brilliance has not yet begun to shine.

After some time, Luo Feng's brilliance will be revealed, and the special nature of Earth will naturally become impossible to hide.

The fact that two extraordinary geniuses emerged on the same planet in the same era is something that cannot be hidden from anyone.

Therefore, Jiang Ming had long anticipated this. His Vulcan clone had been stationed in the solar system and had never left, waiting for the day when Earth's secrets would be revealed.

"I thought that on this day, my long sword would be stained with blood."

Recalling the contents of the email, Jiang Ming felt a pang of emotion. The value of Earth was immeasurable, and he was now the strongest being on Earth.

Although Jiang Ming was very confident in himself, in the eyes of some powerful figures, Jiang Ming, who had not yet truly grown up, was not to be feared and might have some ulterior motives.

"Let's go see the teacher."

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

Jiang Ming looked around at the scenery with some curiosity. In the past, when he visited the Lord of Chaos City, he would directly appear in the Lord of Chaos City's main hall on Thunder Island.

This was, in fact, the first time he had ever seen the entirety of Thunder Island.

Thunder Island is filled with palaces, inhabited by countless immortal gods of the Virtual Universe Company. At the very bottom live the immortals, and in the center of the vast Thunder Island stands a mountain range.

The palaces on the mountainside are inhabited by the cosmic sovereigns, while the one at the summit is the cosmic lord. The summit is completely shrouded in endless air currents and cannot be seen from below.

And at the highest point of Thunder Island!

There stands a majestic palace shrouded in chaotic energy; this palace is the residence of the Lord of Chaos City.

As Jiang Ming began his ascent, his view suddenly opened up.

From below, one cannot see the mountain from above; all one can see are countless chaotic currents swirling around it. But from the top, one can see the entire mountain. Reaching the summit, Jiang Ming looked down and could see the entire Thunder Island clearly, as well as the distant, floating Rain Phase Mountain. He could even see the core disciples on Rain Phase Mountain diligently cultivating and listening to lectures from powerful figures.

A palace appeared before him, surrounded by countless chaotic currents of energy.

Jiang Ming stepped across the palace threshold and walked into the main hall. He stopped halfway through and said respectfully.

"Teacher, I have checked the email."

"You came."

The Lord of Chaos spoke gently, his gaze falling on Jiang Ming with a hint of barely perceptible satisfaction.

"It seems you've made quite a bit of progress lately."

"There has been some progress."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"Now that you've read the email, you should know that Earth is special."

The Lord of Chaos City gazed into the distance, as if piercing through endless time and space, returning to countless eras ago.

"Earth is not an ordinary planet with life."

It was once the work of an ancient and powerful being, the 'Mountain-Sitting Guest,' and through special modifications, it can subtly influence the life nurtured within it, especially in terms of mindset.

"The giant axe and I explored back to Earth long before you displayed your amazing talent."

The Lord of Chaos looked at Jiang Ming.

"When the giant axe went deep into the ground, it discovered the secrets of the earth."

When Jiang Ming saw the Lord of Chaos looking at him, even though he guessed what had happened later, his heart still tightened.

Earth is his root, his home, and he will never allow it to be lost.

The Lord of Chaos City seemed to have seen through his thoughts and spoke slowly.

"However, I propose to the Giant Axe that Earth, as your home, even though it is of immense value, is sufficient to fulfill its purpose under your command."

Jiang Ming suddenly looked up at the teacher.

“I told him that Earth is your home, the place where your soul rests. Forcibly relocating you, or revealing its secrets to the public, will only make you resentful and may even affect your growth.”

The Lord of Chaos's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.

"I firmly believe that with your talent and character, your future achievements will surpass the value of a planet. It is worthwhile to protect this pure land of your soul."

Jiang Ming was acutely aware of the value of Earth; such a special planet was no less valuable to his people than a large, fertile territory.

Just look at the Zerg's extraterritorial battlefield to know that, for the sake of a territory, the human and Zerg races are willing to continuously churn out endless lives.

The value of an Earth is greater than that of the four Zerg extraterrestrial battlefields!

At that time, although Jiang Ming displayed talent at the level of a universe master, could he become a universe master? Could he be compared with the value of Earth?
"Disciple thanks Master for valuing you."

Jiang Ming knelt down and bowed in gratitude. This silent protection and this weighty trust filled Jiang Ming's chest with an indescribable warmth and gratitude.

The Lord of Chaos waved his hand, his expression becoming more serious.

“Hong’s performance is too amazing now. Giant Axe has already accepted him as a disciple. The secret of Earth can no longer be hidden.”

"The higher-ups in the community will soon find out about this. At that time, there may be dissenting voices."

Or they might advocate for complete control of the Earth, through large-scale immigration and training. I can't guarantee what will happen then, so you should be prepared.

Jiang Ming's eyes were sharp, and his voice was as firm as iron.

"I understand, but no matter the outcome, Earth is my home, the home of all Earthlings."
