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

Compared to Jiang Ming's true self, the mental clone was extremely weak.

However, their physical essences are the same, and the mental clone can be regarded as a Jiang Ming weakened by billions of times.

Essentially the same, the abilities that Jiang Ming can use, his mental clone can also use. Even the innate secret techniques inscribed within Jiang Ming's body can theoretically be used.

However, all the clones are based on the same consciousness. Some of Jiang Ming's abilities require a strong consciousness and a strong foundation of divine power to use.

Therefore, when necessary, Jiang Ming also needs to focus his consciousness on a certain mental clone.

As for those abilities that require a strong foundation of divine power to use, there's simply no way to achieve them.

Unless Jiang Ming's mental clones can each possess a 'Void Devouring Golden Cloud'.

However, the current situation is not due to insufficient divine power or insufficient consciousness.

"What's the problem?"

Jiang Ming pondered to himself.

"How stupid!"

Jiang Ming suddenly slapped his forehead in annoyance, looking as if he had just realized something.

"The mental clones I experiment with are all the weakest ones. Because of the nature of the experiment, there is a high probability that some problems will occur. So, I use the weakest clones for the experiment. Even if some die, I can make up for them instantly."

"But now that I've tested it and found that the mental clone can use 'body merge with the universe,' how could I have forgotten to use a more powerful mental clone?"

Jiang Ming had a premonition that the reason for this low compatibility might be because the mental clone he used was too weak.

With a thought, a figure identical to Jiang Ming appeared.

This mental clone of Jiang Ming used one ten-thousandth of his mental power, and its body was like a physical entity.

When Jiang Ming was constructing this mental clone, before he had even actually tested it, he realized the reason behind it.

Jiang Ming's divine body's 'miniature universe core structure' resonates and integrates deeply with the vast space of the primordial universe.

His original divine body, after undergoing the transformation to the third form and merging with the core of the divine kingdom, has become extremely stable, capable of withstanding this profound cosmic resonance without any impact.

But a mind clone is different.

Although the divine structure of the differentiated spiritual clones originates from the original body's blueprint, they are far inferior to the original body in terms of 'strength' and 'stability'.

When one's body merges with the universe, the immense pressure from the universe can cause a slight instability in the body's structure.

This slight structural instability, though extremely minor, caused the mental clone to be instantly crushed by pressure that could have been easily withstood.

Because this slight instability was extremely minor, and given that the body naturally undergoes many changes when 'merging with the universe,' Jiang Ming didn't take it to heart.

"Sure enough."

Jiang Ming looked down at the 1500 light-years ahead, carefully resisting the indifferent assimilative force originating from the very source of the universe.

"With a stronger body and a more stable internal structure, the mental clone can easily perform 'body merges with the universe'."

Sensing all of this, Jiang Ming moved his mind and, without tearing space or causing violent spatial fluctuations, his mental clone appeared on a mountain peak of a desolate planet in the next instant.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Jiang Ming's mental clone was 'merging with the universe', his figure appearing in various places, each time crossing several light-years.

Even in the energy-intensive core of a star, unsuitable for teleportation, even in cosmic energy storms unsuitable for teleportation...
Jiang Ming can also teleport easily.

In absolute darkness, without any light, Jiang Ming's figure emerged.

The moment he appeared, Jiang Ming's body was pulled by a terrifying gravitational force and instantly torn apart. "Even if he could 'merge with the universe,' the harsh environment would be too much of a burden for his weak mental clone, and he couldn't withstand it."

Jiang Ming naturally sensed that his mental clone had been destroyed.

That dark region was actually the location of a black hole with a diameter of about 210 light-years. As soon as Jiang Ming's mental clone appeared near the black hole, it was torn apart because it could not withstand the pressure.

"Although the environment can affect my mental clone, when I am in 'body-universe', my body merges with the surrounding cosmic space."

It is absolutely safe, unless a super-powerful being can easily destroy an entire vast expanse of space.

Otherwise, surviving would be very easy.

Despite its weaknesses, Jiang Ming was actually quite satisfied with the results.

By being able to 'merge his body with the universe,' his weak mental clones gained extremely terrifying life-saving abilities. Even if their strength was average, the ability to save their lives was their greatest asset.

Moreover, even if some of the mental clones are killed, it doesn't matter as long as those mental clones are not carrying any important treasures.

Jiang Ming will not suffer any loss.

"Having such an ability, it would be a waste not to make use of it and just use these mental clones as eyes."

Jiang Ming pondered to himself.

Prior to this, Jiang Ming didn't really value the combat abilities of these mental clones. Without suitable treasures, the combat power these mental clones could unleash was actually quite average.

They can only be used as cannon fodder.

When his mental clone dies, Jiang Ming's mental power will also be damaged. Although it can be quickly repaired, Jiang Ming doesn't care as long as not too many of his mental clones die.

But using them as cannon fodder would definitely be a losing proposition.

But now that he has such a powerful means of self-preservation, Jiang Ming naturally has other ideas in mind.

“All the clones are based on the same consciousness. I still need to solve the problem of being assimilated by the power of the universe after ‘merging with the universe’.”

This is indeed a big problem. Although Jiang Ming's will has reached the level of a true god, he does not dare to act recklessly in the face of cosmic power.

If we're talking about rank, the rank of beings in the primordial universe would at least be at the peak of the Chaos Realm or the God King Realm.

After True God comes Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Realm, and God King Realm.
Although the Primordial Universe has a high status, it is not a powerful being with personal will, and Jiang Ming's 'body merges with the universe' did not offend Him.

The impact is actually very small.

However, given the status of the primordial universe, even the smallest influence would require Jiang Ming to handle it with care.

"Even if multiple mental clones use 'body merge with the universe' at the same time, the impact on me is no different from that on one clone."

After trying it out, Jiang Ming felt much more relaxed.

All the clones are one consciousness. Even if Jiang Ming has hundreds or thousands of mental clones at the same time 'merging into the universe', the assimilation effect he will ultimately suffer will only increase slightly, and there will be no superposition or multiplication.

"At the same time, the time spent merging with the universe should not be too long, and continuous 'merging with the universe' should be avoided."

Jiang Ming was now at ease.

The assimilation of 'body merging with the universe' is indeed terrifying, but Jiang Ming is not in the 'body merging with the universe' state all the time, so the influence of the universe on him is very small.

Normally, it is only used for teleportation, and a single teleportation is at most a ten-thousandth of a second of 'merging with the universe'.

Can a battle really take even a fleeting moment of 'body merging with the universe'?
With Jiang Mingzhen's god-like willpower, and considering how carefully he handled the situation in such a short time, the possibility of something going wrong is extremely low. (End of Chapter)
