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

The Cosmic Sea, deep within a desolate asteroid belt.

The Lord of Golden Valley sat cross-legged on a black meteorite with a diameter of about 100,000 kilometers, and golden patterns covered more than 70% of his divine body.

He closed all six eyes, his face full of peace and contentment.

Around him, faint golden specks of light naturally appeared in the void, swirling and dancing like fireflies.

That was a kind of 'response' from the fundamental laws of the universe to his current state; the laws of light, warmth, and holiness were spontaneously converging.

"So this is the path I should take."

The Lord of Golden Valley murmured to himself, his voice filled with a sense of relief and joy.

“The Purple Moon Ancestor gave me eternal life, but also eternal shackles.”

And this 'light' gave me hope of breaking free from my shackles.

He was now completely convinced that the image of that eternally blazing sun was a 'gaze' or 'gift' cast by some unimaginable higher-dimensional being.

And he, Jin Gu, was fortunate enough to receive this favor.

The Lord of Golden Valley found a reasonable explanation for himself, and his mind became more at peace. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to understanding the 'image of light' and his own transformation.

Unbeknownst to him, deep within his will, a faint, grayish-black 'calamity power' was spreading along with the golden patterns, like a shadow beneath tree roots, quietly seeping into every corner of his soul.

That was the primordial power of Jiang Ming's 'Cataclysmic Universe', which, under the cover of 'light', carried out a deep erosion and marking.

When the transformation of 'light' reaches a certain critical point, 'shadow' will emerge.

The opportunity came sooner than Jiang Ming had anticipated.

Deep within the black-patterned stone pillar, Jiang Ming separated a wisp of his consciousness to monitor the state of the Golden Valley Master.

"The images of bright stars and celestial bodies carry the 'corrosiveness' of high-dimensional information. Even a fifth-order universe lord would find it difficult to resist this attraction that originates from the instinct of life."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

The luminous image itself was merely an illusion he condensed using his understanding of 'light, stars, and constellations,' but the high-dimensional information fragments carried within the illusion were real.

"The power of calamity permeates."

With a slight thought, Jiang Ming felt the power of the Abyss of Calamity hidden within the 'Radiant Stars and Mirrors' begin to activate.

Beneath the light lies darkness; beneath that 'bright star' lies Jiang Ming's power of tribulation.

The Lord of Golden Valley cast his will into the bright stars, which was equivalent to casting his will into the Abyss of Calamity.

hum~~~
Within the core of will, the dazzling, eternal sun suddenly 'flipped'!
The golden light receded like the tide, replaced by a deep, viscous, pure darkness that seemed capable of swallowing all light and hope!

boom!
The consciousness of the Lord of Golden Valley seemed to be thrown into a millstone that shattered stars.

It's not a collapse, but a purposeful differentiation.

One, ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand...

Jiang Ming's goal is to divide his complete will into a total of 870,000 relatively independent yet subtly interconnected 'will fragments'!
Each fragment will correspond to the prototype of the 'Lord's Mark' in a dark abyss within the Abyss of Calamity Universe.

Just as Jiang Ming had done before, he divided the will of the Lord of Golden Valley into 870,000 parts, and each part of the will was suppressed in the abyss.

The 870,000 layers of dark abyss trembled slightly at the same time, emitting a suction force, which corresponded in a distant way to the 870,000 fragments of will that the Lord of Golden Valley was being divided into.

The Lord of Golden Valley continues to struggle, but the strength is visibly diminishing.

His divine body was completely covered by gray-black tribulation power patterns, and his aura became strange and profound, with the magnificent and grand aura unique to the Purple Moon Holy Land completely disappearing.

His will shattered and fragmented amidst his wailing, enveloped and corrupted by the power of calamity, bearing the mark of the abyss.

Deep within the space of the black-veined stone pillar.

Jiang Ming sat down cross-legged and re-entered a meditative state.

The Lord of Golden Valley willingly entered the 'Abyss of Calamity,' making it particularly easy for Jiang Ming to transform him.

This also provided Jiang Ming with new assistance in deducing the path of divine power.

As he focused his mind, the hazy mist of light continued to swirl rapidly. After hundreds of thousands of years of deduction (the time of the black-veined stone pillar), the divine body's structure had been greatly optimized, with its gene multiplier increasing to approximately 8200 times.

However, this is still a huge gap from the 3-fold threshold of the first level.

"Relying solely on deducing the genetic structure of ordinary living beings is too inefficient."

Jiang Ming pondered.

"A higher-level blueprint is needed, such as the master of the universe, or even the strongest being in the universe."

"Fortunately, I now have an extra helper."

"With the strength of the Lord of Golden Valley, he is fully capable of helping me collect a large number of blueprints for the Lord of the Universe."

"And before that, we can try to analyze what's in front of us first."

Jiang Ming turned his gaze to the surrounding black-patterned stone pillars.

These sixteen colossal pillars reaching to the heavens are part of the spaceship, and their materials and structure far exceed our current understanding of the cosmic sea.

If we can analyze even a little bit of it, it might offer some inspiration.

He separated a wisp of consciousness and, combining it with the high-dimensional perspective of the 'Origin of Chaos,' carefully observed the nearest black-veined stone pillar.

The dark gold runes on the surface of the pillar flowed slowly, each line containing extremely complex information about the laws governing them.

With the blessing of the Void True God-level will, Jiang Ming was able to 'see' deeper things.

Those secret patterns are not only manifestations of laws, but also a kind of 'structural language'.

"Just like programming code, it uses specific structural combinations to express functionality."

Jiang Ming seemed to understand something.

"The genetic structure of life is essentially a kind of 'code' that determines the form, capabilities, and potential of life."

The secret patterns on the black-veined stone pillars are the 'hardware code' of the combination of matter and laws.

He attempted to input the observed fragments of the secret pattern structure into the 'Primordial Pool'.

The light mist trembled slightly, and then began to evolve wildly.

This time, the simulation speed has obviously increased!
The 'advanced coding rules' contained in those secret rune structures provided a completely new approach for the 'Pool of Origin'.

Gene structure optimization, which had previously been stuck at a certain bottleneck, has begun to show breakthrough progress.

Gene ploidy begins to increase exponentially.
8300 times... 8500 times... 9000 times...

When the power increased by 10000 times, Jiang Ming felt a certain resonance coming from the depths of his divine body.

That was the first qualitative change in the essence of life.

The divine body, which had already reached a height of ten thousand miles, began to condense spontaneously.

While maintaining the same volume, the density increased dramatically, making every inch of the divine body more resilient and capable of bearing even greater energy.

"10081 times, the perfect genetic limit of the primordial universe has been broken just like that."

Jiang Ming sensed the changes.

Just as Jiang Ming deduced the limit of perfect genes, the Vulcan clone in the primordial universe was quietly enveloped by a mysterious force.

In a daze, Jiang Ming felt that he had entered a special space.

Countless points of light floated in this space, each seemingly containing incredible power.

From Jiang Ming's high-dimensional perspective, each of these points of light possesses power no less than the strongest secret technique of the Lord of the Universe.

"A gift from the primordial universe."

Jiang Ming's gaze swept over the countless points of light around him, imprinting each one in his mind. (End of Chapter)
