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

Virtual universe, the summit of Thunder Island.

The palace chosen by Jiang Ming has been completed, but the plaque above the palace gate is empty and has no inscription.

The Thunder Island mountain range stretches endlessly, and the palace atop it is particularly magnificent.

Jiang Ming's palace complex covers an area of ​​6000 million kilometers in diameter, but such a vast palace complex is utterly desolate, without a single person in sight.

Since the palace was completed, Jiang Ming has not sent any servants to reside there. On weekdays, only a wisp of Jiang Ming's consciousness remains in the virtual universe and resides in the palace complex.

The palace complex, which was usually deserted, was now bustling with activity.

A series of powerful auras approached from afar, appearing on the plaza surrounding the palace complex.

These figures, some towering like mountains, others sharp as swords, all emanated heart-palpitating fluctuations of law. They were the cosmic venerables of the Virtual Universe Company lineage, including several renowned cosmic overlords.

Deep within the palace, the main hall's doors stood silently open.

Jiang Ming, dressed in his signature gold and red armor, stepped out from among them.

"Junior brother, you truly are a man of few words but amazing talent!"

In front of the palace square, a bald man dressed in a fiery red battle robe smiled at Jiang Ming. His smile seemed to have a certain magic, making people involuntarily immerse themselves in the artistic conception of a vast starry sky.

"Senior Brother Guiyi."

Jiang Ming smiled and said this when he saw the person who came.

The person before him was none other than Jiang Ming's second senior brother, Venerable Guiyi.

"Hahaha, when you took up residence on the top of Thunder Island, many Venerables secretly had complaints, but you didn't care at all and remained silent for a thousand years."

This sudden outburst left many venerable ones dumbfounded. That's why they asked me to come forward and apologize to you.

The Venerable Guiyi laughed.

Following behind Venerable Guiyi were about 30 Universe Venerables, some of whom had even reached the level of Overlords.

As Venerable Guiyi spoke, they all apologized to Jiang Ming.

"Jiang Ming, from the Southern Frontier (Lei Gu/Xing Yun...), has come to pay a visit. He apologizes for his previous lack of knowledge and understanding!"

The voice echoed in the empty mountaintop, carrying sincerity.

When Jiang Ming saw this scene, although he had expected it, he was still a little stunned.

"Gentlemen, you flatter me. There's no need for such formalities. Please come into the hall for a discussion."

"Let's go, stop standing around at the door."

"Return to One Venerable said with a smile, while secretly transmitting his voice to Jiang Ming as he spoke," said Venerable Guiyi.

"There's no harm in befriending these venerable ones. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with your move to the mountain palace before, it was just grumbling. Now that they've all come to express their apologies, it shows they have good intentions. That's why I'm willing to act as a mediator and reconcile things."

Upon hearing the transmission from Venerable Guiyi, Jiang Ming nodded slightly in agreement.

These respected figures and powerful figures are indeed showing some sincerity by being willing to come and apologize for what happened before.

After all, it was just a few words spoken in a veiled manner, not even offensive, and not worthy of being taken too seriously.

Seeing that Jiang Ming had no objections, Venerable Guiyi breathed a slight sigh of relief; being a middleman was no easy task.

However, it seems to have gone smoothly in retrospect.

The venerable ones entered the main hall and took their seats as guests and hosts.

Under the mediation of Venerable Guiyi, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

After the many venerable ones and overlords left, Venerable Guiyi stayed behind.

"Junior brother, I brought these people here without informing you beforehand. I apologize for the intrusion."

Venerable Guiyi said apologetically.

"Senior brother, what are you saying?"

Jiang Ming shook his head and smiled.

"These Venerables were just secretly dissatisfied with me before, they only said a few words, it's nothing, they haven't really offended me." "Now, although most of these Universe Venerables admire your strength, some are also jealous of you."

The Venerable Guiyi said to Jiang Ming.

"envy?"

Jiang Ming was somewhat puzzled.

"You possess the strength of a cosmic overlord even in the Immortal realm, and in the eyes of many, you must possess powerful treasures, although they do not know how many treasures you possess."

But they think you possess supreme treasures despite being immortal, while they lack them. Do you think they won't be jealous of you?

"Return to Oneness is a Venerable One," he said with a smile.

Jiang Ming smiled. He did have quite a few treasures, but most of them did not help his strength much. The seventeen treasures from the Nightmare Clan were mostly ordinary treasure weapons.

He hadn't had time to exchange these ordinary treasures for treasures that could help him.

"This doesn't really affect you. Even if they're jealous of you, what can they do to you? It just affects the teacher's prestige."

They felt the teacher had acted unfairly.

Venerable Guiyi said somewhat solemnly.

"I understand your concerns, senior brother."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

"However, I believe that ability is the best proof."

Looking at Jiang Ming's calm face and sensing the confidence that came from absolute strength, Venerable Guiyi couldn't help but smile.

"It seems I was overthinking it. With your current strength, you really don't need to care about those idle gossips."

After a pause, Venerable Guiyi continued.

"I came here on my teacher's orders to personally deliver a message to you. The proposal for you to join our Supreme Human Council has been approved by the highest levels."

From this point on, you are qualified to occupy a seat in the highest meeting.

"The Supreme Council?"

Jiang Ming smiled and nodded. Being able to join the Supreme Council was a good thing, indicating that he had now truly become a high-ranking member of the human race.

As expected, approval was likely to be granted as long as sufficient strength was demonstrated.

But upon hearing this news, Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel happy.

In the Thousand Treasures River Realm, Jiang Ming chose to name his cultivation residence the 'Mingxin Palace'.

Inside the core of the hall, Jiang Ming sat cross-legged, with the 'Black Ruins Armor', which was entirely black and emitted a faint, cold light, floating in front of him.

"A top-tier treasure armor. With it in hand, my survivability will be elevated several levels."

"Om~~"

As the Black Void Armor emitted a soft hum, the dark golden runes on its surface suddenly lit up and their circulation accelerated, a feeling of perfect harmony welled up in Jiang Ming's heart.

Refining complete!
With a thought, the Black Void Armor transformed into a stream of light that covered his entire body.

After Jiang Ming completed the recognition of the Black Void Armor, a lot of information was transmitted to him.

Similar to Jiang Ming's previous 'Immortal Bright Light Armor', it has three forms, with the highest reduction in attack power to one ten-thousandth.

In terms of value alone, the Immortal Bright Armor is slightly inferior to the Black Ruins Armor.

Because the Black Void Armor is a top-tier treasure armor, even attacks from weaker beings in the universe are within its tolerance range.

"A top-tier treasure armor is an invaluable treasure even for a cosmic lord."

"Only a top-tier fifth-order universe master like the teacher can be so indifferent."

"In the eyes of those more ordinary second- or third-tier universe lords, it's normal for them to desperately pursue this supreme treasure armor."

Jiang Ming observed, feeling the powerful defensive force emanating from the armor on his body, and thought to himself. (End of this chapter)
