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

Inside a majestic temple shrouded in endless ice and snow, on one of the mountainsides of Thunder Island.

Inside the hall, six figures sat high on the throne, conversing with each other.

"What's your view on Southern Xinjiang?"

A giant, his body crackling with lightning, boomed as he looked toward the figure on the throne.

"The Lord of Chaos City has acted unfairly this time."

On the throne, the man known as 'Southern Frontier' slowly opened his eyes. It was as if countless star fields were being created and destroyed around him, and his aura was as deep as the sea.

"Jiang Ming is just a disciple of the Chaos City Lord. What merit or ability does he have to build a palace on the mountaintop?"
Building a palace on the mountainside or even at the foot of a mountain is against the rules!
The Lord of Chaos City has rendered countless services to our human race, and we naturally respect him. But Jiang Ming has neither merit nor strength, yet he dares to place himself above us.

"It's true that Jiang Ming is a genius, but geniuses always consume the clan's resources."

"The resources they consumed were all fought for by us, one sword and one spear."

"Why is Jiang Ming allowed to be above us?"

Below the throne, a thirteen-meter-tall white jade giant spoke angrily.

"Is the news true? Is the owner of that mountaintop palace really Jiang Ming?"

An ancient being dressed in a robe of stars spoke with a puzzled expression.

"After inquiring from multiple sources, there's no mistake, the owner of that palace is Jiang Ming."

Upon receiving confirmation, many powerful figures in the arena grew dissatisfied.

Jiang Ming is indeed a genius, and they all know that he had the understanding of the 21st level of the Bridge to Heaven at the Realm Lord stage. But no matter how strong he is, he is still just a Realm Lord.

How can anyone be qualified to be above them?

At this moment, many powerful figures present, despite their utmost respect for the Lord of Chaos City, still harbored strong resentment.

“It’s not that we’re jealous, but our community has its own rules, and everything has to be done according to those rules.”

The white jade giant spoke again.

"How can you convince us without rules?"

"We naturally dare not provoke the majesty of the Chaos City Lord, but that Jiang Ming is weak and yet dares to reside on the mountaintop. He is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and has brought shame upon himself!"

Many powerful figures were dissatisfied. They had reached their current positions through countless efforts, hardships, and life-or-death battles.

Yet a mere boy could stand above them.

The Divine Kingdom of Calamity, the Abyss Realm.

Jiang Ming closed his eyes and began to cultivate. With the promotion of the 'Heartfire Game World', the number of players increased further, and the quality of players also exploded.

Now, through the 'Heartfire Game World', Jiang Ming can obtain a large number of creature templates, constantly filling his 'Heartfire Realm'. Almost every minute and every second, he can get a slight improvement.

Beep beep beep~~
Jiang Ming opened his eyes in confusion as email notifications kept ringing from the virtual universe.

"Red Flame, why are there so many emails?"

Jiang Ming asked casually, but his hands were not idle; he immediately opened an email and started reading it.

"Master, your construction of the palace on the mountaintop has aroused the dissatisfaction of many Venerable Overlords. Now, many powerful figures have sent you messages."

The virtual figure of Chi Yan jumped out from the arm guard on Jiang Ming's wrist and spoke to him.

By this time, Jiang Ming had already opened and read several emails and understood the matter.

"Master, is it really necessary for them to be so petty about such a small matter?"

Chi Yan asked in confusion.

“This may be a small matter in your eyes, but in the eyes of these venerable ones and overlords, it is no small matter.”

Jiang Ming shook his head.

"They have eternal life. Over the long years, their loved ones have passed away one by one. In their lives, besides pursuing the path to becoming strong, they also have a life of eternal life."

What they value most are these seemingly unimportant titles and honors.

Jiang Ming has witnessed the experiences of countless beings and has profound insights into human nature and desires.

Cosmic Sovereigns and Cosmic Overlords are, in reality, just a type of life, albeit one of immensely powerful beings. They too possess certain obsessions. For many powerful beings, kinship is less important than clan, personal status, and glory.

For the sake of their tribe, they can die!

For glory, they can also die!
Some of the things they desire can even transcend their own life and death in their eyes.

"I understand."

Chi Yan nodded; she had figured it out too.

"So, Master, what do you plan to do?"

"I ask you curiously," Chi Yan asked.

"Then let's have a good fight and prove my current strength."

Jiang Ming smiled.

"Master, are you going to take action against the Universe Venerable?"

"I ask curiously," Chi Yan asked.

Having followed Jiang Ming for many years, she has witnessed many miracles he has created, so she has absolute trust in him. Although Jiang Ming is only at the Immortal level now, she believes that he can easily defeat the Universe Venerable.

"Defeating the Cosmic Venerable doesn't make you worthy of staying on the mountaintop."

Jiang Ming shook his head.

"That master? He's planning to take action against the cosmic overlord?"

Chi Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"We'll see."

Jiang Ming said with a smile.

A flash of divine light appeared, and Jiang Ming emerged from the divine kingdom passage into the starry sky, surrounded by a hazy, illusory mist.

"First, let's retrieve the legacy of the Nightmare Clan."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

The treasures left behind by the Epan tribe still hold considerable value for Jiang Ming.

With a thought, Jiang Ming's consciousness connected with the spiritual realm, and a wisp of his consciousness descended before the Illusion Palace.

Before the Hall of Illusion, Jiang Ming's will materialized.

The squid's magnificent ball of light had been waiting there for a long time, and it sensed Jiang Ming's appearance in the 'Illusory Galaxy'.

Sensing the completely different aura emanating from Jiang Ming, the light cluster rippled slightly, revealing its inner turmoil.

"The embodiment of your will."

In the squid's perception, the body before it, which should have been nothing more than a wisp of will condensed from a thought, was like a physical entity with considerable physical strength.

Although the power of this body is negligible compared to Jiang Ming's true form, it is incredibly astonishing for a body formed from a wisp of will.

"Some petty tricks, not worth mentioning."

Jiang Ming waved his hand, indicating he had no intention of discussing the matter further.

The body he now manifests within his spiritual domain is not his original form, nor is it a wisp of spirit as before, but rather a 'spiritual clone'.

The squid's ball of light remained silent for a moment, knowing that the human before it had far exceeded its initial expectations.

It even began to think that the inheritance of the E'pan clan might not be Jiang Ming's good fortune, but rather the good fortune of the E'pan clan.

"Come with me. You must have come here to obtain the final inheritance."

The squid's voice returned to its usual gentleness, and the magnificent ball of light guided Jiang Ming's mental clone, slowly flying towards the enormous palace gate of the Illusion Palace, which was engraved with countless mysterious patterns.

The palace doors opened silently and slowly, revealing an incredibly deep passage behind them.

"With your strength and potential, you can skip the eighth level of the trial and go directly to the final trial, where you will obtain all that remains of the Nightmare Clan." (End of Chapter)
