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

An eerie silence fell over the outer perimeter of the space surrounding the black-patterned stone pillar.

All the powerful figures stared in the direction where the Lord of Golden Valley had disappeared, then looked at the white-robed figure that floated silently, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.

As the cosmic ruler of the Purple Moon Holy Land, the Lord of Golden Valley is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

As a small universe, the Holy Land Universe, due to its characteristics, cannot support the strongest beings in the universe, and the number of universe masters it can support is also very limited.

The Holy Land universe transcends reincarnation, having passed through countless eras, naturally accumulating a large number of powerful individuals.

However, these powerful individuals are confined by the shackles of the Holy Land universe and cannot become the masters of the universe. They can only continuously accumulate and hone themselves until, after countless years, the position of the master of the Holy Land universe becomes vacant.

The longer a cosmic being accumulates power, the greater their chance of becoming the master of the universe.

Once someone becomes the Lord of the Universe, they are practically at the fifth rank!

In the primordial universe, this would be almost a fantasy.

But in the Holy Land universe, this is the norm.

This is the foundation that the holy land has accumulated over countless cycles of reincarnation.

"What on earth just happened?"

A cosmic lord from the first cosmic era whispered, his body, composed of countless bones, trembling slightly.

"It could be an illusion or a mental attack, because it only targets the Lord of Golden Valley, so we can't sense it."

The Lord of the Bright Moon was surrounded by starlight, and his voice was solemn.

The other powerful figures nodded in agreement with the Lord of Bright Moon's idea.

"The illusions or will of this being are beyond our comprehension; we must be careful."

In fact, without being reminded, all the powerful figures understood how dangerous it was to offend a super being who could easily 'manipulate' a fifth-order universe lord.

"It went even more smoothly than I expected. The power of the supreme star is truly incredible, even if it is just an image generated by me."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

He could sense that the Lord of Golden Valley was greedy and recklessly poured his will into the image he had created.

"Below the light lies darkness. When the Lord of Golden Valley fully commits his will to it, that will be the time when darkness erupts."

Perhaps I will soon acquire another servant at the level of a universe master, and not just any servant, but a fifth-order universe master.

"

Jiang Ming looked around.

Dozens of powerful figures were scattered in the void, and none of them dared to meet his gaze at this moment.

Those gazes held awe, apprehension, and curiosity, but the initial scrutiny and fighting spirit were gone.

After hesitating for a moment, the Lord of the Bright Moon finally spoke.

"Your Excellency, Jin Gu..."

"It's nothing, just a little punishment."

Jiang Ming said calmly.

Hearing that Jin Gu had only received a minor punishment, Lord Haoyue was relieved.
"I wonder what your name is?"

The Lord of the Bright Moon asked solemnly.

"I am Haoyue, from the Eastern Emperor's Sacred Land."

"Heartfire."

Jiang Ming announced his title in the primordial universe.

"The Lord of Heartfire?"

Lord Haoyue recalled the intelligence database of the Eastern Emperor Holy Land and confirmed that the name was not there.

"Are you a powerful figure from the Third Cycle Era?" "Indeed."

As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, waves of emotion swept through the hearts of the powerful figures present.

The third era is the 'youngest' era currently, and its overall strength is the weakest.

But the one before them possessed a will that had reached the level of a true god in the void, and his methods were even more unfathomable.

If he is truly a native powerhouse from the third cycle era, what does that mean?
Thinking of this, some powerful figures couldn't help but overlap Jiang Ming's figure with that legendary white-robed figure.

"If there's nothing else, I'll continue my cultivation."

After saying this, Jiang Ming turned around and prepared to return to the depths of the black-patterned stone pillar.

The Lord of Golden Valley is teleporting frantically.

He tore through layers of space, traversing distances of tens of thousands of light-years, speeding through the cosmic sea like a meteor.

"Light...Holiness...Liberation..."

The expressions on the three faces of the Lord of Golden Valley gradually became unified.

It was a strange expression that mixed obsession, longing, and fanaticism.

His six eyes reflected non-existent golden flames, and the Purple Moon Holy Land imprint deep within his consciousness was being slowly covered and replaced by a more ancient and vast 'Imprint of Light'.

He had long since put away the treasures in his eight arms, and instead unconsciously formed one profound hand seal after another. These hand seals were not inherited from the Purple Moon Holy Land, but were the "Worship Seals" that he naturally comprehended when he "saw" that eternal blazing sun.

"No...this feeling..."

As a fifth-order universe master, the Lord of Golden Valley had already honed his will to be as resilient as the core of a star. After the initial frenzied impact, a trace of instinctive vigilance finally struggled to emerge from the deepest part of his soul.

"That star has a big problem!"

He abruptly stopped teleporting, pressing all eight arms against his head, trying to use the pain to regain consciousness.

However, the image of that blazing sun was like the deepest dream, already entangled with his consciousness, and every attempt to peel it away brought a soul-tearing pain.

Even more terrifying is that this pain is mixed with a strange kind of 'pleasure'.

It was as if this stripping itself was a betrayal of the 'sacred,' and the pain brought about by this betrayal, in turn, proved that he was 'awakening.'

"Damn it. What kind of methods are these?"

Fine golden patterns began to appear on the surface of the Golden Valley Lord's divine body, as his life genes spontaneously transformed towards the attribute of 'light'.

This transformation was not based on his own will, but rather on the high-dimensional information contained in the image, which, like the most sophisticated virus, directly rewrote the most fundamental code of his life structure.

He attempted to invoke the 'protective mark' left deep within the souls of all the holy people by the founder of the Purple Moon Holy Land, trying to dispel this eerie corruption.

The mark was activated, emitting a soft purple glow that temporarily suppressed the spread of the golden patterns.

But at this very moment...
boom! ! !
Within the core of the Golden Valley Lord's will, the image of the eternal blazing sun suddenly erupted!
It's not an attack, it's a 'display'!
A massive, vast, and incomprehensible torrent of higher-dimensional information surged forth, instantly shattering the newly formed vigilance and resistance.

In that torrent, the Lord of Golden Valley 'saw' countless fragmented yet real scenes:
Some creatures kneel before the stars, and the stars bestow light upon them, enabling them to evolve.
Civilized worship of the blazing sun, in turn, bestows its blessings, and civilization transcends the cycle of reincarnation.
Some powerful beings merge with the Dao, and the Dao transforms into light, illuminating all the heavens.
Every scene was incredibly realistic, containing principles and truths far beyond his comprehension. Faced with these images, his initial wariness and doubt seemed so insignificant and laughable.

"It turns out I was narrow-minded."

The Lord of Golden Valley released his arm from the head, and a look of piety returned to his face, even more profound than before.

"The light does not seek to control me, but to elevate me. These golden patterns are not erosion, but blessing."

He looked inward and saw that the golden patterns were spreading along his divine body's meridians. Wherever they passed, the divine power flowed more smoothly, the laws were sensed more clearly, and even the cultivation bottleneck that had been stagnant for hundreds of reincarnations showed signs of loosening!

These are real, tangible benefits!

"Take refuge in the light, embrace the light, and become the light."

An idea took root in his mind and quickly grew into a towering tree.

He ceased resisting, instead actively opening his will to receive the more information flowing from the image. Under the impact of this higher-level information, the protective mark of the Purple Moon Holy Land melted rapidly, like ice and snow under the sun. (End of Chapter)
