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

Chapter 272, Great Merit

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

A burly figure silently appeared in front of the hall, which was surrounded by chaotic energy, with a long dragon tail trailing behind him.

"Lord of Chaos City, the things your disciple has created are quite interesting."

The Lord of Dragons spoke from outside the hall, his voice carrying directly into the hall.

The palace gates opened at that moment, and the voice of the Chaos City Lord followed.

"Long Xing, come in."

As the Lord of Dragons stepped into the hall, the chaotic energy parted before him, revealing a path leading to the throne of the Lord of Chaos City.

"It's not uncommon for people to hone their will through a virtual universe, but it's rare for someone like you, a disciple, to create a game world that allows a large number of players to hone their will."

Still the first one.

The Lord of Dragons walked to the first throne to the right of the Lord of Chaos City and sat down, sighing as he spoke.

"I myself can't quite see the structure of his 'Heartfire Game World' clearly; I had to deduce it through the virtual universe system."

Only then did I realize its effect; it could temper the will of any being below the Venerable level.

The Lord of Chaos City said with a smile.

The virtual universe can simulate everything; the 'Heartfire Game World' is a complete copy of Jiang Ming's 'Heartfire Realm'.

Even the Lord of Chaos City could only discern some of the intricacies of the complete 'Heartfire Realm'. He couldn't clearly see many of the fundamental rules, the workings of the world, and so on.

"You can't see it very clearly either? Your disciple is really amazing."

The Lord of Dragons exclaimed in praise.

Even the strongest are not omniscient or omnipotent; every strong person has their own strengths and blind spots.

The Dragon Lord also studied the 'Heartfire Game World' created by Jiang Ming. Although he could see the underlying operating rules through the virtual universe's permissions, he still found it difficult to understand.

"This 'Heartfire Game World' can help hone one's will, but it also has a threshold. Geniuses who already have a certain foundation of willpower will benefit more from the training."

However, if one's foundation is too weak, the effect of honing skills will be mediocre.

The Lord of Chaos City said.

"No matter how you look at it, it is a very good way to assist in cultivation. In the long run, the basic strength of our human race will be improved as a result."

The Lord of Dragons said with a smile.

Willpower is not a necessary condition in the early stages of cultivation, but its importance increases as cultivation progresses.

In the past, honing one's willpower required venturing into dangerous and perilous places, constantly enduring trials and tribulations, in order to improve.

In these perilous and desolate places, dangers are ever-present, and countless powerful individuals have perished there.

While the 'Heartfire Game World' cannot completely replace it, it can provide a safe place for geniuses with low cultivation levels to hone their will.

In the long run, this will be of great benefit to the human race.

"Yes, it is indeed a great thing, so for the next tens of millions of years, my Virtual Universe Company will vigorously promote the 'Heartfire Game World'."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

Millions of years of promotion would be enough for 'Heartfire Game World' to become something that every human being knows, and there would be no need to waste promotional resources afterward.

"Your disciple has made a great contribution this time. When the Supreme Conference is held, he will be rewarded handsomely."

The Lord of Dragons laughed heartily.

The human race's leadership attaches great importance to any method that can improve the overall strength of the human race.

The 'Heartfire Game World' that Jiang Ming is launching this time is of immeasurable value, and naturally, there will be plenty of rewards to be had.

"Ah."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

"Your true form has returned. When shall we make our move?"

The Lord of Dragons suddenly asked, his expression somewhat solemn.

"They have returned, but the true form of darkness has not yet returned. Let's wait a little longer." The Lord of Chaos City shook his head.

"Then let's wait a little longer. Now that darkness has revealed its identity, our human race is more powerful on the surface."

"To occupy even a small portion of territory is, of course, a matter of course."

The Lord of Dragons laughed.

"However, we must be careful. The Zerg are not easy to deal with. Judging from their response, the Zerg probably have some tricks up their sleeves."

The Lord of Chaos City solemnly stated that although he had not been able to ascertain the Zerg's response, the Zerg were an opponent that should not be underestimated.

"Well, I'm leaving."

The Lord of Dragons nodded, then got up and left.

After the Lord of Dragons left, the Lord of Chaos City remained seated on the throne.

"From the 'Heartfire Game World,' it's clear that the secret technique that Jiang Ming is perfecting must be incredibly powerful."

The Lord of Chaos pondered.

"Jiang Ming already possesses the strength of a cosmic overlord. Once the clan bestows its rewards, granting him one or two powerful treasures, Jiang Ming's strength will increase even further."

"When the time comes to clash with the Zerg, Jiang Ming's strength will be even greater."

"Perhaps by then, Jiang Ming will be able to play a significant role in the battle."

"The Lord of Chaos City said softly."

"However, these are all just speculations."

"Let's see what level my disciple can reach by then."

The cosmic overlord is already considered a high-level combat force among the peak races. If one can reach the strength of a top cosmic overlord, then one can play a decisive role in the real race battlefield.

Someone like the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace possesses the strength of a top-tier cosmic overlord and can be resurrected by the strongest being in the universe. He is fearless of life and death, and the power he unleashes is so great that even a true cosmic master would find him quite troublesome to deal with.

However, top-tier cosmic overlords are very rare.

Humanity's foundation is weak, and in this era, there are only three powerful individuals who can reach the level of top cosmic overlords, which is far fewer than the number of human cosmic lords.

After its release, 'Heartfire Game World' became the most popular game in the universe in a very short time, thanks to the promotion by Virtual Universe Company.

Within the 1008 universe, a large number of players have flocked to it.

"No 'entrance fee' or 'game time' is required. There is no cost whatsoever. As long as you become a second-tier life form in the 'Heartfire Game World,' you will receive 10,000 universe coins!"

The lure of money was too great; the interstellar citizens of the 1008 Universe Kingdom went mad.

Ten thousand universe coins are enough to buy more than a dozen inhabited planets.

After a period of dissemination, 'Heartfire Game World' ushered in its most terrifying craze.

Countless interstellar citizens poured in.

In a hidden space within the 'Heartfire Game World', Jiang Ming, clad in gold and red armor, sat high on a throne, with Crimson Flame observing the scene below from his shoulder.

"Master, there are so many players."

"Red Flame said excitedly."

By embedding advertisements within the game, 'Heartfire Game World' is no longer a complete money-burner and has begun to generate profits.

These players are no longer seen by Chi Yan as people trying to take away Jiang Ming's wealth, but as walking money bags.

“Master, look, we also get a 50% cut of the tips these streamers give us.”

A point of crimson flame appeared in the void, and countless screens materialized.

The screen displayed the live streams of high-level players in the 'Heartfire Game World', and these live streams were all very lively.

Some have a few million viewers, while others have tens of billions.

A large amount of donations are being generated at all times.
