Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

Among the human race, the Lord of Chaos City is like the head of the household, able to make decisions on almost everything, big or small.

Other powerful beings from other universes also admire him.

But the Lord of Chaos City didn't know how to decide on this matter.

Before the Lord of Chaos City had to wait long, a burly, rugged-looking savage appeared in the Chaos Palace.

In the entire virtual universe, only two people have the authority to appear directly in front of him without his consent.

The founder of the giant axe was one of them.

At this moment, Giant Axe was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the Chaos Palace, holding a pot of wine that he had somehow gotten his hands on, and gulped down a large mouthful.

"So you mean—that kid has the mark of an ancient civilization's powerful being deep within his consciousness, and that mark injured you just by glancing at you?"

Giant Axe wiped his mouth, speaking casually as if he were chatting about everyday things.

The Lord of Chaos nodded slightly, not annoyed by the giant axe's attitude. He knew that this strongest member of the human race had always acted this way.

"It wasn't 'glanced at me'."

"The Lord of Chaos City corrected me."

"It was when I was peering at that brand that it launched a passive counterattack. The moment that vertical eye split open, my senses were shattered."

"A passive counterattack?"

Giant Axe raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"Are you sure this wasn't a preemptive attack?"

"Sure."

The Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment.

"The state of that mark is very special... It is not a living thing, nor even a projection of will. It simply resides quietly in the deepest part of Jiang Ming's consciousness, like an ancient statue. It was my prying that triggered its defense mechanism."

"interesting."

Giant Axe took another swig of wine.

"A mark that has existed for countless cycles of reincarnation can still harm you. And this is in the initial universe, on your home turf."

He grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Do you know what kind of power is needed to do that?"

The Lord of Chaos City nodded, but then shook his head.

"At least a powerhouse above the strongest in the universe, or even stronger."

The Lord of Chaos City said solemnly.

"Not only that, as far as I know, neither of the two Holy Lords in the Cosmic Sea Holy Land has this strength."

Although you are the ruler of the universe, in the initial universe, even I could not be your match.

But you were scarred by a brand.

The founder of the giant axe put down the wine jug and said with an extremely solemn expression.

"Although I often venture into the cosmic sea, I haven't learned much about such powerful individuals."

"But I believe that such a powerful force, even if it completely perishes, may still have the possibility of reviving."

The Giant Axe Founder rose from the ground, his gaze fixed on the Lord of Chaos City.

"Jiang Ming is very likely the resurrection of a powerful figure beyond our comprehension."

He looked at the Lord of Chaos City, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"If that's the case, then Jiang Ming's talent is enough to explain it. If such a strong person were to be resurrected, it would be normal for him to possess even the most incredible talent."

The Lord of Chaos City fell silent.

"So you mean...?"

"Give him all your support."

Without the slightest hesitation, the giant axe spoke directly.

The Lord of Chaos City frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

Aren't you worried about...?

He carefully considered his words.

"What would happen to humanity if that mark were to reappear?"

The giant axe laughed.

That smile was rugged and open, carrying a kind of magnanimity and boldness tempered by countless life-and-death experiences.

"Chaos, you've locked down, you coward. Lock down, lock down every update of 'Man Devours, Drawing Cards Across the Heavens, Starting with Yang Jian.' I have a question for you."

"you say."

"Given Jiang Ming's current talent, what heights do you think he could reach if given enough time to grow?"

The Lord of Chaos City pondered for a moment.

"Given his current level of comprehension, affinity with the laws, and terrifying physical talent... as long as he doesn't die young, becoming the Lord of the Universe is inevitable. Becoming the strongest being in the universe is also highly probable."

He paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"right."

The giant axe nodded.

"And all of this would have likely happened even without that ancient mark."

He stood up and paced back and forth in the main hall.

"But what if he has the blessing of that brand? What if he can really reach that point?"

The giant axe stopped and turned to look at the Lord of Chaos City, his gaze intense.

Do you know what that means?

The Lord of Chaos City certainly knew.

Surpassing the strongest in the universe—that's a realm even the creator of the giant axe dreamed of.

Once you reach that level, you can use your own miniature universe to protect your race through reincarnation and lead humanity toward true eternity.

That is the ultimate dream that every civilization and every race in the universe strives for their entire lives.

"We humans have not been in this cycle of reincarnation for very long."

The giant axe's voice became solemn.

"But I also witnessed just how insane those powerful figures from the 'Third Cycle' era really were."

Because if they don't break through, their entire race will be completely wiped out and forgotten.

"So no matter how crazy the thing is, they are willing to do it, willing to try it."

"Therefore, a powerful being who could potentially protect our race and lead it to eternity and ultimate glory."

It's worth betting everything on!

The founder of the giant axe said in a resolute tone.

"You're right. To have such an opportunity is the greatest fortune for our human race."

The Lord of Chaos City agreed with the founder of the Giant Axe's viewpoint.

"However, we shouldn't go too far beyond the norm. If other races find out, our human race will become the enemy of the entire universe."

"The founder of the giant axe said in a low voice."

This is not an exaggeration.

but facts.

A powerful figure who might be connected to an ancient civilization could drive all races and all powerful individuals mad.

Even the two great holy lands, which are high above, are no exception.

Chaos City, City Lord's Mansion.

Jiang Ming and the other thousand geniuses, led by the messenger from Chaos City, entered the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion covers a large area, with each corridor exceeding 100 meters in length and width.

The messenger led Jiang Ming and the others to the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.

"Each person can only choose one Chaos Stele to observe and comprehend."

Huge paintings hang on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

"There are 52 rubbings of pictures hanging on the walls of the corridor. Each picture corresponds to a Chaos Stele. Take a look at these pictures first. Although the pictures cannot convey the aura contained in the Chaos Stele, they can still allow you to barely feel a little bit of it."

Look at these 52 pictures... and then decide which Chaos Stele to choose.

"That's what the guide said."

Each picture is a standard ten meters long and ten meters wide, and its name is written next to it.

"You have half an hour."

The guide stood at the very end of the corridor, and after speaking, he ignored everyone else.

Jiang Ming stood in the crowd, a faint silver light shimmering in his eyes, carefully sensing the aura of laws within each scene.
