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

In the void, an enormous celestial body was suspended, its massive cosmic membrane extending in all directions, stretching as far as the eye could see.

This cosmic membrane, which should have been intact and magnificent, is now shockingly dilapidated.

Within Jiang Ming's sight, he saw hundreds of irregular black holes and cracks, like a worn-out ball full of holes, allowing the chaotic airflow to pass through the cosmic sea and the cosmic membrane without any obstruction.

"This is one of the reference points marked on the map."

The Chaos City Lord, clad in a golden robe, gazed at the shattered universe.

"A small universe that has long since fallen and is completely destroyed, with a diameter of about 1 million light-years."

"Dilapidated?"

Although Jiang Ming already knew of its existence from the detailed map given to him by his clan, witnessing the final resting place of this powerful being of the universe still gave him a shock that came from his very life instinct.

This small universe, with a diameter of one hundred million light-years, represents the end of an unparalleled powerhouse.

"If the strongest being in the universe were to perish, the small universe upon which he depended for existence would naturally also crumble."

The Lord of Chaos City turned to look at Jiang Ming, his tone deep and serious.

"The path to the strong is to climb to the peak and become the strongest in the universe."

The path to a divine kingdom, at its ultimate evolution, becomes this miniature universe.

"When the immortal gods fell, their divine kingdoms turned into ruins and gradually became desolate."

"When the strongest being in the universe falls, its smaller universes also cannot escape the fate of collapse."

The Lord of Chaos sighed.

"Come closer, let me show you what 'destruction' truly means."

Whoosh!
In an instant, the Lord of Chaos City, along with Jiang Ming, appeared directly at the edge of a huge crack in the cosmic membrane.

The fissure was tens of thousands of kilometers high and nearly a thousand kilometers wide, its edges constantly trembling as it endured the relentless erosion of chaotic air currents.

The two passed through the crack and entered the dying universe.

What met Jiang Ming's eyes was an apocalyptic scene.

The shattered fragments of space resembled the remains of a mirror, interspersed with floating fragments of the continent.

The massive mountain range, like building blocks carelessly discarded by a child, floated aimlessly in the void.

You can even see some unimaginably enormous divine corpses, struggling or silent, drifting with the collapse of the universe.

"Wow~~~"

In the distance, a large area of ​​the towering cosmic membrane peeled away and collapsed like rotten plaster.

Looking at the entire universe, everything is in a slow and irreversible process of 'collapse'.

Space debris collided with each other and split apart again, causing the continental plates to further fragment and shrink amidst silent lamentations.

……

This is a funeral for the universe, silent in a vacuum, yet deafening to all who behold it.

"The primordial universe gave birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings. From its birth and evolution to its peak of prosperity, it then declined and was destroyed... This cycle repeats itself."

The voice of the Chaos City Lord echoed in the desolate universe.

"In each cycle, extraordinary geniuses, numerous cosmic lords, and... the strongest beings in the universe who stand at the pinnacle will be born."

"Countless cycles of reincarnation overlap, and the years are so long that they are immeasurable."

"Each cycle corresponds to a group of the strongest beings in the universe, and each of the strongest beings in the universe corresponds to a small universe like this."

"These miniature universes drift in the cosmic ocean, and most of them drift further and further away, far beyond the limits of our ability to explore."

However, the number of small, either dilapidated or intact universes that have already been discovered exceeds 18,000!

The Lord of Chaos City's gaze swept over the fragments of the continent and the corpses of gods floating in the chaotic air currents, and he spoke slowly.

Jiang Ming held his breath.

"We usually refer to the current cycle as the Third Cosmic Era."

The Lord of Chaos City continued.

"Our previous cycle was the Second Universe Era. Even earlier was the First Universe Era." "In the vast cosmic sea, apart from the two transcendent holy lands, only the powerhouses of these three universe eras still exist and possess miniature universes."

Other, even more ancient cycles of reincarnation... have all been lost to the river of time.

"Three cosmic eras?"

Although Jiang Ming knew the answer, he still voiced his doubts.

"good."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded.

"The first cosmic era, the second cosmic era, and our third cosmic era."

"Our Third Universe Era is still in the middle of its development and reproduction, while the first two eras have already gone through a complete cycle. The number of powerful beings they have nurtured and accumulated is naturally far greater than ours."

The Lord of Chaos City said.

"Therefore, among the three eras, our third era is the weakest in overall strength, while the first era... is the most powerful."

In the early stages of the universe's development, everything started from scratch, and the creation of secret techniques and the perfection of systems all required time.

The further a development progresses, the higher the efficiency and potential for cultivating strong individuals tend to be.

The primordial universe may not have yet reached the peak of its potential.

Seeing Jiang Ming's expression, the Lord of Chaos City smiled slightly.

"However, there is no need to underestimate ourselves."

It should be noted that when the original master roamed the universe, he was absolutely invincible!

The strongest beings in other universes, even those from the first era, would give way to their teacher.

"Teacher, you just mentioned three cosmic eras and... two holy lands?"

Jiang Ming asked.

"This holy site?"

"The discovery of tens of thousands of dilapidated miniature universes reveals just how many of the strongest beings ever created in the universe, but more than 99 percent of them have perished."

The Lord of Chaos pointed to the desolate scene around him.

"The fate of the miniature universe is proof of this."

Jiang Ming nodded.

The destruction of the universe means that its master has perished.

"However, beyond the three great cosmic eras, there are two transcendent forces in the cosmic sea, each originating from two extremely ancient small universes."

The Lord of Chaos City spoke with a hint of indescribable emotion.

"Those two small universes are speculated to be the residences of the strongest beings in the universe that existed dozens, or even hundreds of cosmic cycles before us."

"The size of those two miniature universes is also beyond imagination."

The Lord of Chaos City said.

The most powerful known universes are small universes, which are generally around 1 million light-years in diameter.

Those two sacred universes, one with a diameter of about 21 billion light-years and the other reaching 32 billion light-years, are the two largest known small universes.

The exact dates of their existence are impossible to verify.

Jiang Ming took a deep breath.

Countless cycles of reincarnation have turned to dust, but these two sacred sites stand eternally in the universe, their extraordinary nature self-evident.

"The three great cosmic eras, plus the two holy lands, constitute the current power structure of the Cosmic Sea."

Of course, each cosmic era is not monolithic, just like our original universe was divided into many forces such as the Hong Alliance, the Demon Alliance, and the Zerg Alliance.

Both the First and Second Cosmic Eras were characterized by numerous factions and dozens of intertwined forces.

Therefore, in this endless cosmic sea, the situation is extremely complex and chaotic; any force not affiliated with this alliance may suddenly launch an attack while you are exploring.

The Lord of Chaos City solemnly warned. (End of Chapter)
