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

Chapter 201, The Source

"New life is born from destruction, and hope lies hidden in despair—this is the resilience of the soul!"

Jiang Ming felt a surge of emotions.

"I think I've found another way forward."

Jiang Ming has very few reference books for cultivating his mind and will.

Many people from all races in the universe cultivate their spiritual will, but after reaching Jiang Ming's level, he can hardly find any spiritual scriptures that can be of any use to him.

More often than not, they rely on talent to grow wildly and untamed.

With the help of the 'Abyss of Calamity', Jiang Ming's will grew at a fast pace. Relying on the 'Abyss of Calamity', Jiang Ming gradually embarked on a path of cultivating his mind and will through the 'Abyss of Calamity'.

“Countless faint wills, if they can resonate, superimpose, and structure in some way, can also reach an incredible level.”

Jiang Ming's mind was racing at an unprecedented speed.

He recalled the 'Star Array' composed of countless talent stars that he had seen in the Talent Awakening Space!
At that time, he used his strong will to see the whole picture and imitated its structure to reorganize his own will core, thus being able to withstand the pressure of the starlight and travel at high speed.

At the time, he was just imitating, knowing how but not why.

Furthermore, due to the insufficient number of will crystal cores, even if the whole picture is seen clearly, what can be imitated is only a corner of the 'fragment'.

At this moment, with the reference of the 'Will of the Withered Bones,' a massive collective will structure composed of the lingering wills of countless living beings, the two corroborated each other, and countless sparks of inspiration burst forth wildly in Jiang Ming's consciousness!
Compared to the perfectly functioning 'Star Array' composed of countless talent stars and containing supreme mysteries that I saw in the Talent Awakening Space, the structure of this 'Will of Withered Bones' before me undoubtedly appears rough and broken.

But it is precisely this imperfection and roughness that allows Jiang Ming to see the essence of its 'construction' more clearly!

The 'Star Array' was too perfect and unattainable. With his level of willpower and understanding at the time, he could only imitate its form and could not comprehend its essence.

Even because the number of will crystal cores is insufficient, imitating its shape is only enough to imitate a tiny fraction of it.

The 'Will of the Withered Bones' is like a ruin that has been violently destroyed, leaving behind obvious traces of its construction.

It demonstrates how the will of countless weak individuals can be combined to form a vast, unified will!

This gave him a completely new perspective that he could learn from!
“My will crystal cores are incredibly resilient, but the connection structure between them seems far too simple and inefficient compared to the ‘entanglement of resentment’ of the ‘Will of the Withered Bones’ and the ‘perfect resonance’ of the ‘Star Array’.”

Jiang Ming reflected on himself.

His improvement in willpower relied more on the accumulation of 'quantity' brought about by the 'Abyss of Calamity' devouring external mental power, and the tempering of 'quality' brought about by opening up the abyss and experiencing calamities time and time again.

However, progress in optimizing the 'structure' has been slow since it imitated a corner of the 'Star Array'.

Because the 'Star Array' was too advanced, he couldn't understand it, let alone make deeper deductions based on his tens of thousands of will crystal cores.

At this moment, the 'Will of the Dry Bones' provided him with a relatively 'low-level' but equally grand and easier-to-analyze sample!
"We don't need to completely copy this structure full of negative emotions, but we can learn from its principles of 'convergence,' 'superposition,' and 'resonance'!"

Jiang Ming's consciousness was racing. The high-dimensional perspective granted by his 'Origin of Chaos' talent allowed him to more clearly perceive how this massive will structure operated.

He began to try to guide the power of the 'Will of the Withered Bones' that had been devoured by the 'Abyss of Calamity'.

It is not simply transformed into nourishment for the abyss, but rather it is used as 'material' to imitate its structural mode and begin to carefully fine-tune the arrangement and combination of its own will crystal cores.

Under his control, tens of thousands of will crystal cores, like countless tiny stars, began to rebuild their connections in a more complex and efficient way.

It is no longer a simple three-dimensional, multi-dimensional, and dynamic flow, but rather a more complex and incomprehensible evolution of structure, like a structure that fills different dimensional spaces!
This process is extremely delicate and dangerous, requiring an incredibly precise control over one's own will. But given Jiang Ming's state of mind and will, he can manipulate his own consciousness with absolute perfection.

He calmly guided all of this, like a master architect reshaping the core of his will.

Time passed quietly.

The desolate galaxy remained silent, with only an eternal sense of sorrow flowing through it.

I do not know how long it has been.

hum!
A miraculous transformation has been completed!
Jiang Ming's new structure, composed of tens of thousands of will crystal cores, suddenly trembled, and an unprecedented sense of 'wholeness' and 'power' emerged!
It's as if the originally scattered grains of sand have been melted and forged into an indestructible alloy!

The quality of will did not increase much, but its structural stability, energy conduction efficiency, and ability to withstand and disperse external pressure have been greatly improved!

The most direct manifestation of this is that, with the optimization of its own will structure, the efficiency of 'Abyss of Calamity' in devouring and transforming 'Will of the Withered Bones' has also greatly improved.

The abyss expanded at a significantly faster pace, and the power of calamity became more refined and profound.

"Indeed, the structure of will is crucial. It determines the 'utilization rate' and 'growth ceiling' of willpower."

Jiang Mingming understood.

"This desolate starry river is truly my blessed land."

Jiang Ming opened his eyes, his pupils seemingly containing countless tiny star-like structures that appeared and disappeared, incredibly deep.

He gazed into the depths of the starry river, where he could now vaguely sense the direction of the 'source' of the artistic conception.

“There, there may not only be the remaining essence of the will of the Lord of the Night Chime Clan, but also the true secret of how this ‘Will of the Withered Bones’ can maintain such a huge structure.”

The next moment, he moved and teleported towards the core area of ​​the Bone Galaxy.

As they ventured deeper, the scenery in the depths of the skeletal starry river changed instantly.

The stars here are even larger and paler, and black winds seem to howl from the holes, bringing with them a wailing sound that chills the soul.

The desolate and lifeless atmosphere almost solidified into a tangible form, like icy seawater, seeping into the intruder's consciousness without leaving a trace.

If it were an ordinary immortal, staying here for even a short while would likely erode their will, causing them to become depressed, desperate, and possibly even experience a collapse of consciousness, turning them into a part of the will of these withered bones.

However, for Jiang Ming, all of this was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

However, once he arrived here, the 'source' that Jiang Ming had sensed earlier vanished instantly.

It felt as if there was a sense of connection from all directions, or perhaps it was all just an illusion.

"Disappeared?"

Jiang Ming frowned, but the next moment his gaze turned forward, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"It's not that it disappeared, but rather that this place is already the source."

With his eyes closed, Jiang Ming's will spread outwards!
