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

Chapter 80, The Memory Questionnaire

Amidst a burst of silver light, Jiang Ming appeared in a vast and boundless space.

Jiang Ming gazed at the dim star at his feet, and at the two stars beside him that were connected but had also dimmed.

"The stars represented by the Wheel of Time are formed by three different stars linked together, which may also mean that some special talent stars cannot be divided by simple ranks."

Thinking of the seemingly endless upper limit of the Wheel of Time, Jiang Ming naturally paid more attention to the talent star represented by the Wheel of Time beneath his feet.

"You can pay more attention to it, but for me, the further I go, the greater the advantages I accumulate."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ming gave up the idea of ​​searching for special stars in the Talent Awakening Space.

He had entered the Talent Awakening Space three times before and had seen countless talent stars, but he had only ever seen one special star, the Wheel of Time.

Moreover, even if he finds it, he might seem very strong in the early stages, but this will slow down his progress in the Awakening Space.

It's not worth paying too much attention to.

Nevertheless, Jiang Ming still managed to completely depict the innate stars represented by the Wheel of Time in his consciousness using his mind.

Jiang Ming's consciousness soared towards the heavens, beginning to rise continuously.

Within the Talent Awakening Space, there was an endless expanse of vastness and immensity. Throughout his journey, Jiang Ming could only rely on the degree of wear and tear on his consciousness to determine how long he had been in this Talent Awakening Space.

"This is a talent star a million times the size of a star, which should belong to the highest level among immortal-level talents."

Jiang Ming's consciousness had only diminished by less than half, but he had already reached the limit of his immortal-level talent.

"Based on past experience, there is a 'starless zone' between each layer of talent stars. This 'starless zone' separates the upper and lower layers of talent stars and is also the longest and darkest area."

Jiang Ming had traversed the 'Starless Belt' several times. Each layer of the Talent Star's 'Starless Belt' was longer than the previous one, and the increase was exaggerated. The later the 'Starless Belt', the more difficult it was to cross.

"Let's go."

With a thought, the jumbled thoughts are cast aside, and one soars towards something higher.

In the vast 'starless zone', only the stars that Jiang Ming could see came from a higher, even the highest, dimensional space.

Only stars of that caliber can scatter starlight that can disregard the barriers of space.

At the highest level of the Talent Awakening Space, even if Jiang Ming sealed off all his senses, he could still feel the starlight emanating from those talent stars.

Jiang Ming guessed that if those terrifying awakened stars were placed in the outside universe, their radiance would probably be able to pass through countless worlds and countless spaces, and even if separated by thousands of worlds, they would still be visible.

……

"My improvement this time is truly astonishing compared to the last time I entered. My overall willpower has been worn down by less than 30%, but I have already reached the level of a Universe Venerable with exceptional talent."

Jiang Ming looked around at the terrifying celestial bodies that were billions of times larger than stars and sighed in amazement.

As the level increases, not only does crossing the 'Starless Belt' become more difficult, but the thickness of the 'Talent Star Layer' where the Talent Star is located also increases.

For example, the smallest Immortal-level talent star is ten thousand times the size of a star, and the largest is a million times the size of a star.

The smallest of the Venerable Stars in the universe where Jiang Ming is currently located is a billion times the size of a star, while the largest can reach a hundred billion times the size of a star.

A billion times the size of a star, it is already larger than an ordinary star system.

“These starlight are different now.”

Jiang Ming continued to rise, leaping over one massive star of talent after another, but as he went deeper upwards...

He gradually realized that the starlight falling on him was beginning to have weight. Although this weight was very light and thin, it did not have any effect on Jiang Ming at the moment.

But the higher he went, the heavier the starlight he encountered became.

"These starlights come from these gifted stars. When the starlight reaches the level of a Cosmic Venerable, it begins to change."

Jiang Ming was well aware of the talent awakening space; the further one progressed in their talent, the harder it would be to acquire, because the gap between realms was too large.

The difference between an ordinary realm lord and an ordinary immortal is at most tens of thousands of times.

However, the difference between an ordinary immortal and an ordinary venerable is more than a million or ten million times.

This range of realms will only continue to widen as the realm advances, and will not decrease.

The difficulty of acquiring a star of talent cannot be so gradual.

……

"This is not good. I have only just reached the limit of my Cosmic Venerable level talent, and more than 50% of my willpower has already been worn away. Can the remaining willpower break through the 'Starless Belt'?"

At this moment, Jiang Ming's body was covered with countless talent stars, each the size of a star system. These talent stars, which had reached the level of a cosmic venerable, emitted starlight that was almost tangible.

As they climbed from the lowest level, the weight of the starlight grew heavier and heavier.

Although Jiang Ming is still in good condition, the remaining 50% of his willpower has made him a little worried about crossing the 'Starless Belt'.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ming stopped hesitating and continued upwards.

If there is too little remaining willpower and no possibility of crossing the 'Starless Belt', Jiang Ming will not be so stubborn.

By carefully selecting one of these stars, which are the size of star systems, one might find a talent as extraordinary as the Wheel of Time.

However, the remaining 50% of his willpower allowed Jiang Ming to take a gamble, even though this was somewhat risky and might result in him failing to acquire the talent and returning empty-handed.

But Jiang Ming has now established a solid foundation, so even if he lacks a talent, it won't cause him too much trouble, and he can easily make up for it in the future.

"Whether I go fast or slow is still important to me, but it's no longer the most important thing. What I need to consider most is how to go further, even if it means sacrificing a little speed."

After Jiang Ming strengthened his resolve, his ascent speed increased slightly.

As his will gradually eroded, Jiang Ming continued to climb higher.

But as his willpower waned, Jiang Ming gradually lost his senses, and even his memories began to blur.

"My memory is faulty."

When his willpower drops below 10%, it begins to seriously affect Jiang Ming.

With his memories fading, Jiang Ming set limits in his mind to prevent extreme situations from arising, and at intervals, a memory questionnaire would appear.

But just now, he got one question wrong on the memory test.

This means that his will is not far from collapsing.

"No rush. This is just one question. I've set a total of 100,000 questions for myself. I'll leave when I get more than 30,000 wrong."

If 30% of one's memory becomes hazy, then one's will is almost on the verge of collapse.

But Jiang Ming remained calm and unhurried. Since facing life and death head-on, he had become accustomed to honing himself on the edge of life and death.
