Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 125 The Ultimate Cosmic Chaos Monument

While Lu Jin and the others were viewing the rubbings of the Chaos Stele, in another dimension, the Chaos Ruins, within the inner palace of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the boundless land, the corpses of alien races can be seen everywhere, each exuding a chilling aura, as if they were ruins after a terrible battle.

In the center of these ruins sat a burly man about three meters tall, with two fiery red horns on his forehead and strange markings on his face.

The burly man was dressed in dark red, ancient battle armor, with a scaled tail extending from the skirt of his armor. He was surrounded by the majestic laws of the universe and constantly exuded a killing aura. He was the main killing avatar of the Chaos City Lord, who was stationed in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe.

'Shuh! '

Suddenly, the Lord of Chaos City opened his eyes.

In an instant, spacetime trembled, and the Chaos City Lord's gaze traversed spacetime, landing on the thousands of geniuses who had just arrived in the primordial universe.

The first one he checked was naturally Lu Jin, who had already caught his attention after clearing all seven trial towers in the Genius Battle.

The next moment, the Lord of Chaos City raised an eyebrow slightly.

A hundredfold increase in life-giving genes?
The resource tree 'Time-Based Life Tree'?
A treasure of the soul?

A stone tablet radiating the fluctuations of primordial laws?
Indeed, he has a great opportunity ahead of him!
Suddenly, the Lord of Chaos City frowned slightly.

As his servant 'Zi'e' had previously reported, this little guy has a clone.

If there is a clone, then there must be a primordial core, but after some investigation, he could not find the primordial core on Lu Jin.

In other words, Lu Jin didn't bring the primordial nucleus into the initial universe?
Shaking his head slightly, the Chaos City Lord ignored Lu Jin and turned his gaze to the other geniuses.

Huh?
Another one with clones.

Possessed the Golden Horned Beast, giving birth to a human clone and a Demon Slayer clone?
Good, he's a good kid!

Using a precious slot for creating a clone to create a human clone with mediocre talent shows that this little guy has an unusually deep sense of belonging to the human race.

Uh... there are also stone tablets containing primordial laws?

The Lord of Chaos City was stunned for a moment, then used his virtual universe access to check.

After a moment, the Lord of Chaos City understood.

So he's from the same hometown as Lu Jin?

No wonder you have that kind of stone tablet too, little guy.

After all the geniuses had finished their investigations and found no alien spies, the Chaos City Lord glanced at Lu Jin and sent an email to a super-strong individual in the Virtual Universe Company.

A moment later, the Lord of Chaos City received a reply from the other party.

——【No time!】

Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City was secretly annoyed.

Not free?

Hmph~, do you really think that the geniuses I recommended are unwanted?
Junior brother, I hope to see the day you regret it.

'Should I do it myself?'

The Lord of Chaos City thought to himself.

Soon, the Lord of Chaos City shook his head again.

It wasn't that Lu Jin lacked talent, but rather that as the head of the Virtual Universe Company, he couldn't easily seek personal gain for his disciples in order to demonstrate his impartiality.

Moreover, this little guy became my disciple as soon as he joined the Virtual Universe Company. Who knows, he might get too cocky, which would be detrimental to his future growth.

After a moment's thought, the Chaos City Lord thought of a powerful figure who not only had time to teach disciples but also possessed formidable strength.

Immediately, the Lord of Chaos City sent him an email.

To avoid being rejected again, the Lord of Chaos City also mentioned in the email that Lu Jin possessed the secret technique of creating clones.

The reply arrived quickly.

—【Let me take a look first. If it's good, I'll buy it.】

Seeing this, the Lord of Chaos City nodded in satisfaction.

This is right!

The geniuses recommended by this city lord must have excellent potential. Otherwise, if they are deemed unworthy of being developed, wouldn't this city lord lose face?
Lu Jin was naturally unaware of what was happening inside the Chaos Ruins; at this moment, he was still selecting the Chaos Stele based on the rubbing of the image.

Time passed, and the half-hour selection period was approaching. Lu Jin had finished looking at the rubbings of the 52 Chaos Steles.

Of the rubbings of the 52 Chaos Steles, the one that resonated with him the most was the 'Ultimate Universe Chaos Stele', followed by the 'Dark Chaos Stele', while the other Chaos Steles were not considered.

At this moment, Lu Jin couldn't help but suffer from decision paralysis.

Choose the Ultimate Chaos Stele; this Chaos Stele is the most suitable for you.

Instead, they chose to study the Dark Chaos Stele, which was created by the powerful Lord of Darkness.

Given his talent for cultivation, coupled with his status as a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, he has a higher chance of becoming this big shot's disciple in the future.

Extreme space or darkness, which should you choose?
"Lu Jin, which Chaos Stele do you choose?"

Lu Jin was struggling with her decision when Ai Chen's voice rang out.

"What about you?"

Lu Jin countered with a question.

Ai Chen said, "I feel that both the Extreme Universe Chaos Stele and the Dark Chaos Stele are good, especially the Extreme Universe Chaos Stele."

One of my family's ancestral ancestors, who was granted the title of Marquis and is now an immortal member of the Virtual Universe Company, is also a member of the company.

She had previously said that if one could comprehend the 108 mysteries of the fundamental laws of time by studying the Chaos Stele of the Ultimate Universe, it would be easier to master the fundamental laws of time in the future.

However, the ancestor also said that analyzing the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of time is very difficult, and I'm not very confident about it.

As he spoke, Ai Chen couldn't help but shake his head.

Ai Chen is quite self-aware of his own talent.

Compared to ordinary geniuses, she is a genius among geniuses.

But given the talent she has shown, it would already be a blessing from the universe if she could become an immortal king in the future.

After a moment's thought, Lu Jin said, "Let's choose the Extreme Universe Chaos Stele."

With cheat codes at your fingertips and resources readily available, even a complete failure can be transformed into a genius.

Furthermore, choosing to study the Dark Chaos Stele does not necessarily mean that the Lord of Darkness will accept him as a disciple. It is better to stick to his original plan and follow the path of analyzing the profound mysteries of the fundamental laws of time.

Moreover, geniuses hope to find an excellent teacher, and excellent teachers also hope to have a disciple with great potential.

If you are good enough, teachers will come to you sooner or later.

"Then I'll do as you say!"

"It's not about listening to me, it's about us cheering each other on."

"Yeah, you're right."

Ai Chen nodded his head repeatedly, as if he were pounding garlic.

At this moment, the black-robed messenger shouted, "Tell me which Chaos Stele you choose in half an hour, and I will record it."

As he spoke, the black-robed messenger walked from the outermost edge of the corridor inwards, inquiring about the choices of each genius.

"I choose the 'Giant Axe Chaos Monument'!"

"I choose the 'Dragon Soaring Chaos Stele'!"

"I choose the 'Ice Peak Chaos Monument'!"

Soon, the black-robed envoy approached Lu Jin and asked, "Which one do you choose?"

“I choose the ‘Ultimate Chaos Stele’.”

Lu Jin said.

The black-robed envoy nodded, the screen on his arm recording Lu Jin's choice, then looked at Ai Chen beside Lu Jin: "And you?"

Ai Chen said, "I also choose the 'Ultimate Universe Chaos Stele'."

Before long, the black-robed messenger recorded the Chaos Stele choices of all the geniuses.

As expected, Luo Feng still chose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele.

"Alright, I've already sent out your choices. Now, follow me."

Led by the black-robed messenger, Lu Jin and his companions left the corridor and continued deeper into the city lord's mansion.

A moment later, the group arrived at a vast, open training ground that stretched for tens of kilometers.

The black-robed envoy glanced at everyone present and said, "Of the 52 Chaos Stele meditation chambers, 15 are currently occupied, while the other 37 are empty."

"I recited the names of these 37 Chaos Steles: Dark Chaos Stele, Giant Axe Chaos Stele, Yanshan Chaos Stele, Nine Universes Chaos Stele, Heart Mark Chaos Stele, and Extreme Universe Chaos Stele."

"Those who chose these 37 Chaos Steles, go directly to the leftmost entrance. You will be assigned to a cultivation chamber. The rest of you, please wait for now."

As he spoke, the black-robed envoy pointed to the entrance, which was nearly thirty meters high, on the left side of the training ground.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Immediately, more than 700 people, including Lu Jin, Luo Feng, and Ai Chen, transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the distant entrance.

Upon entering the grand entrance, Lu Jin saw a corridor approximately 60 meters wide and 120 meters high.

On both sides of the corridor are tall bronze doors, each bearing ancient inscriptions: Mother Ancestor, Giant Axe, Dragon Walk.
Moreover, in front of each bronze door stood an identical, kind-faced old man.

'Shuh! '

The next moment, before Lu Jin could observe further, he felt the space shift, and he and the other 11 people who had chosen the 'Extreme Universe Chaos Stele' appeared in front of the Extreme Universe Chaos Stele's meditation chamber.

The geniuses who chose other Chaos Steles were all transferred to the meditation chambers in front of their respective chosen Chaos Steles.

My name is Kandri.

Before the entrance to the secret chamber for comprehending the 'Ultimate Chaos Stele', a kind-faced old man smiled and spoke.

"Lord Candry."

Lu Jin and the others bowed respectfully.

"There's no one in the secret room right now. All eleven of you go in now. Seven days later, when the door opens, you all come out immediately. Understand?"

"Kandri said in a deep voice."

"clear."

Lu Jin and the others nodded.

"Ah."

Kandri nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Go in!"

"Whoosh!"

Filled with anticipation and nervousness, the group flew in.

The cultivation chamber was extremely large, filled with chaotic energy, and a huge stone tablet could be faintly seen standing in front of it.

As Lu Jin flew forward and got closer, he finally got a clear look at the appearance of the Extreme Universe Chaos Stele.

This is an ancient stone tablet that is 100 meters high and nearly 100 meters wide, with nine pictures on it.

At the edge of the Chaos Monument, there are two universal scripts—'Extreme Universe'.

The nine images on the Chaos Stele of the Ultimate Universe were all exactly the same as the rubbings of the Chaos Stele that Lu Jin had seen in the corridor before, but the feeling they gave Lu Jin was far beyond what the rubbings could compare to.

The first image shows a gentle breeze with nine scattered wind blades.

The second picture, a gentle breeze picture, has 36 wind blades on its continuous surface.

The third image is a storm image, showing a large number of wind blades gathered together, with as many as 108 wind blades interlocking.

The fourth picture is a crescent moon, a huge crescent moon surrounded by 12 planets.

The fifth image is a crescent moon, a huge half-moon surrounded by numerous planets.

The sixth picture is a full moon picture, with a huge round moon suspended above a sea of ​​stars.

The seventh picture looks like a strange monster with four hooves and wings.

The eighth picture shows two strange monsters.

The ninth picture shows countless strange and monstrous beasts, so numerous that they are impossible to count.
