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

Inside the Pantheon, a solemn atmosphere prevailed.

The two rows of black and gold thrones at the very top, like the positions of gods overlooking all living beings, exude an invisible pressure.

Jiang Ming sat atop a golden throne a thousand meters wide, standing alongside the most powerful figures of the human race, such as the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Darkness, and the Lord of Penggong.

His gaze swept across the thrones below, arranged in tiers, from the 200-meter-wide throne of the cosmic overlord to the 50-meter-wide throne of the high cosmic venerable one, then to the 10-meter-wide throne of the middle venerable one, and finally to the densely packed 2-meter-wide thrones of the primary venerable one at the very bottom.

At this moment, almost every throne was filled with figures, and thousands of cosmic venerables gathered together!
They come in various forms, and their auras are either sharp, profound, or ethereal, but without exception, they all represent the pinnacle of power and the backbone of the human race.

"Everyone."

A gentle yet majestic voice echoed down, and the entire Pantheon fell silent.

It was the Chaos City Lord standing next to Jiang Ming.

"This Supreme Conference is primarily convened to discuss the Zerg War and to announce the seventeenth Universe Master of our human race!"

"My clan's Jiang Ming has been promoted to the Lord of the Universe, and his title is Lord of Heartfire!"

He is the seventeenth Universe Lord of our human race. (Currently, only sixteen Universe Lords have been publicly acknowledged by the human race.)

Upon hearing this, the faces of the cosmic venerables who had been quietly listening below all showed expressions of shock.

"Jiang Mingcheng has become the Lord of the Universe!"

"How can this be?"

"How many years has it been?! Jiang Ming has already become the Lord of the Universe. Could it be that I've traveled to the future?"

Lord of the universe!

This is an existence standing at the pinnacle of billions of races in the universe. If a weak race possesses a cosmic lord, it can immediately become a powerful race.

It has a place among all the races of the universe!

Even for the most powerful races, the appearance of each universe lord is a major event for the race!

This signifies that humanity is growing stronger and more powerful!
Although the news was sudden, it was something that was announced at the highest meeting, so there was absolutely no way it could be false.

So after a brief moment of shock, many of the Venerables showed joy on their faces.

"Excellent! Our human race has produced another ruler of the universe! Our human race is becoming increasingly powerful!"

"Great news! Today is a day to celebrate."

"Correct!"

"Congratulations to the Lord of Heartfire! Congratulations to our human race!"

"Congratulations to the Lord of Heartfire! Congratulations to our human race!"

"Congratulations to the Lord of Heartfire! Congratulations to our human race!"

It's unclear who started it, but a series of loud voices within the temple merged into an invisible torrent, echoing throughout the temple.

The growth and expansion of the human race is a cause for celebration for all of humanity.

Although the human race is not a monolithic entity, each group has its own stance and factional disputes.

As the ruler of the Virtual Universe Company, Jiang Ming's appearance will inevitably make the Virtual Universe Company even stronger.

But regardless of faction, the overall strengthening of the human race is a good thing for any faction.

A strong race gives all humankind a greater sense of confidence.

After waiting a moment, the Chaos City Lord spoke again once the heated atmosphere in the arena had subsided somewhat.

"The second thing concerns the outcome of the war with the Zerg alliance."

In this battle, our human race has won a great victory!

The Zerg Alliance has ceded the territories of six cosmic kingdoms, including 'Blazing Flame,' 'Dark Eclipse,' and 'Crystal Light,' and has also paid compensation with a supreme treasure!"

"Wow!!!"

A commotion immediately erupted below. Although the well-informed Venerables had already heard rumors and even knew a lot about the inside story, the confirmation from the Chaos City Lord himself still stirred the hearts of all the Venerables.

Cease the territories of six cosmic nations!
A supreme treasure!
What a glorious victory!
Such a victory inevitably reminded some ancient cosmic venerables of the primordial era, and of that defying-the-gods leader. Some of these ancient venerables couldn't help but compare the golden-red figure on the thousand-meter throne with the white-robed leader from their memories.

"The Lord of Heartfire deserves the greatest credit in this battle!"

The Lord of Chaos's voice was gentle yet powerful.

"The newly acquired territories of the six space nations are rich in resources and strategically important."

The community will re-plan the defense and development of the area.

Detailed plans will be distributed to everyone by the virtual universe system later.

I urge everyone to work together to consolidate our gains and strengthen our human race!

As they spoke, a screen appeared in front of the numerous powerful figures sitting on their densely packed thrones.

A large amount of detailed information appeared on the screen.

The document details the six territories of the intergalactic kingdoms ceded by the Zerg, specifying their resource-rich areas and precious resources.
"The six new territories of the Zerg ceded by the Zerg contain countless resource-rich star systems, secret realms, and mineral deposits, and there may still be some Zerg forces and latent power remaining within them."

The tribe needs a large number of strong individuals to guard, suppress, and develop the land.

The virtual universe system has initially drafted a list of garrison commanders and development tasks based on the situation in each territory. You can check and accept them at your own discretion.

Contribution rewards have no upper limit!

The Chaos City Lord's words gave many powerful figures a glimmer of hope.

The expansion of territory not only brought prosperity to the tribe, but also provided these individual strongmen with an excellent opportunity to acquire resources and enhance their strength!

Many cosmic venerables have already begun to rub their hands together, preparing to make a big splash.

Contribution Rewards!

The reason why a race is strong is because of the contributions of countless powerful individuals!

Contribution points can be used to exchange for other treasures.

In human groups, there are two categories of people: those who enjoy resources and those who contribute resources.

All ordinary humans and immortal gods are users of resources.

Ordinary humans can enjoy peace and stability.

Those who excel, like the immortal gods, can receive guidance and instruction from super-powerful beings, and even be bestowed with treasures.

They are all beneficiaries of resources!
Once they enter the ranks of the universe's strongest beings, they will become contributors of resources.

Humanity needs the contributions of the strong to ensure that billions of humans, geniuses throughout history, and countless immortal resources can be enjoyed.

These resources all come from contributors to the human race.

"Gentlemen, the information has been distributed and the tasks have been assigned. You can start taking them at any time."

"May we all unite as one and work together to strengthen our human race!"

The Chaos City Lord's gentle voice echoed in the hall, gradually rising in pitch.
"Unite as one! Let our human race prosper!"

"Unite as one! Let our human race prosper!"

Rumble~~~
The gates of the Pantheon opened, and almost all the cosmic lords stood up.

One by one, the cosmic venerables chatted and laughed as they walked directly toward the golden gates of the Pantheon. As soon as they stepped through the gates, they were all teleported away.

Jiang Ming was surprised to see this scene. He didn't expect that his first time attending the Supreme Conference would end so quickly.

But upon closer reflection, he understood.

The true supreme meeting was already decided upon through discussions among many cosmic lords and the strongest beings in the universe; this is merely a notification.

It was simply to let the powerful humans know the news.

The meeting thus proceeded very quickly. (End of Chapter)
