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

The book "Man Devours, Cards Draw from the Heavens, Starting with Yang Jian" is full of classic quotes, seeking resonance.

In the secluded courtyard of Chaos City.

Jiang Ming sat cross-legged on the rooftop, with the nascent chaotic light cascading down from all directions, coating him with a faint glow.

Light footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard gate.

Jiang Ming opened his eyes, his gaze passing through the courtyard wall, and saw a middle-aged man in black standard combat armor standing outside the door.

"Your Highness Jiang Ming, the supplies you ordered have been delivered."

The middle-aged man's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Jiang Ming inside the courtyard to hear clearly.

"Come in."

Jiang Ming got up and went down from the third-floor rooftop to the courtyard.

The courtyard gate opened silently, and the middle-aged man strode in, presenting a world ring with both hands.

"Your Highness, this is all the supplies on your list. I happened to be in Chaos City for secluded cultivation, so I brought them for you."

"Please have Your Highness examine it."

Jiang Ming nodded.

Jiang Ming accepted the World Ring and probed into it with his divine sense.

The ring's interior space spans a million kilometers, with various rare resources neatly arranged. At its deepest point, two distinct life forms lie dormant.

A sharp and cold aura emanated from it, like a sleeping divine sword.

The other aura was gentle yet powerful, like a forest in the making.

"good."

Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction and put away the World Ring.

"Thanks a lot."

"It's nothing to serve Your Highness."

The middle-aged man bowed slightly and tactfully took his leave.

After he left, Jiang Ming closed the courtyard gate and returned to his meditation room.

With a slight thought, the world ring appeared before him, and Jiang Ming flashed into the world of the ring.

........

Within the ring's vast, multi-million-mile-wide world, Jiang Ming arrived directly before a strange, fist-sized, silver-white substance.

The substance was like a mass of liquid metal, its surface constantly changing shape—sometimes transforming into a miniature longsword, sometimes into a round shield, and sometimes into an exquisite palace.

Each change carries a natural rhythm, as if it were not manipulated by humans, but rather its own instinctive breathing.

"The Silver Palace Clan, a metallic life form."

A hint of admiration flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes.

In the vast universe, life takes many forms. Flesh and blood life is the most common.

But besides flesh and blood life, there are also energy life, metal life, plant life, and so on, and many other classifications.

Metal life forms have no flesh and blood, no internal organs; their entire body is simply a living piece of metal.

They can grow, evolve, and even cultivate like living beings with flesh and blood.

When metallic life forms merge with a spaceship, they can form a very special symbiotic entity.

This resulted in the spacecraft achieving an alarming level of rigidity.

The stronger the metallic lifeform, the stronger the spaceship's defenses.

"The Silver Clan is a super metallic life form with the potential to achieve immortality, easily ranking among the top 30 of all metallic life forms in the universe. Among support-type metallic life forms, they are likely to rank first!"

"And this Silver Palace Clan metal life form that I purchased, if perfectly nurtured, can reach the hardness of G-grade metal after becoming immortal."

Jiang Ming exerted a slight force in his palm, sending a wisp of primal energy into the silver substance.

hum-

The Force, carrying Jiang Ming's spiritual imprint, was imprinted on the core of the metal life form's soul, instantly completing the recognition of its master.

After the recognition was completed, a hazy consciousness entered Jiang Ming's mind.

All life possesses consciousness, even metallic and plant life.

The newly born Silver Palace Clan members have a weak consciousness and a low level of intelligence, but their intelligence level will gradually increase as their strength grows.

With a thought, Jiang Ming used an Immortal-level Time Acceleration Card, increasing the passage of time around him by a thousand times.

Then the primal force surged forth, placing the mountain of metal materials around the Silver Palace Clan's metal lifeforms.

Sensing the metallic materials, the Silver Palace Clan's metallic lifeform immediately expanded its body, devouring all the metallic materials like a flowing stream.

After absorbing these metallic materials, endless power began to be generated, and this flowing mass of Silver Clan metallic life rapidly expanded.

In no time, it expanded from the size of a fist to a size of more than ten meters in circumference, like a small pond.

"There are metal materials here worth 3000 billion Chaos Units. If the Silver Palace Clan can devour all of these metal materials, they will be able to break through to immortality."

Once the Silver Palace Clan breaks through to the Immortal realm, they will possess the combat power of a King. The Silver Palace Clan metal lifeform I purchased has the highest potential among the Silver Palace Clan members.

After breaking through to immortality, there's a high probability of reaching the peak of kingship.

Jiang Ming smiled with satisfaction.

The hardness of a peak-level metallic life form can reach G-grade, and it is the highest grade among G-grade metals.

G-grade metals are also divided into different grades, such as the lowest-end, ordinary G-grade metal, which costs 70 million mixed units per cubic meter.

The highest-grade G-grade metal can cost 700 million or even 7 billion mixed units per cubic meter, a huge difference.

There are no naturally occurring F-class or G-class metals in the primordial universe.

All F-grade and G-grade metals originate from a single source: the divine bodies of immortal-grade metal lifeforms and mechanical races.

Only their divine bodies are made of F-grade and G-grade metal.

A metal life form that reaches the ordinary King-level is a G-grade metal, and a metal life form that reaches the King-level limit is also a G-grade metal, but the difference between the two can be tens or hundreds of times.

"At this rate, reaching seven thousand years would be enough to become an immortal, a thousand times the time flow rate, equivalent to seven years in the outside world."

Jiang Ming calculated the time and nodded in satisfaction.

The next moment, his figure disappeared and appeared in front of a small tree that was entirely green and about half a meter tall.

The roots of this sapling are as thin as hair, yet exceptionally resilient, each radiating a faint breath of life. Its branches and leaves are lush, each leaf like a perfect piece of jade, reflecting a soft halo in the light.

A constant pulse emanated from the center of the sapling, and with each pulse, a visible ripple of life spread out from the tree.

Jiang Ming's gaze fell on the lush green sapling, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Plant Life - Ancient Trees of Life"

In the vast universe, there are far more types of plant life than metallic life.

Plant-based life forms are more helpful to strong individuals than ordinary metallic life forms.

The Ancient Tree of Life is one of the most advanced plant-based life forms.

"The Ancient Tree of Life, even in its seedling stage, can greatly enhance its owner's vitality and recovery speed."

If it could be cultivated to the immortal level, its root system could extend for tens of thousands of kilometers, and its divine body would be nearly 100,000 kilometers in size. This enormous divine body contained boundless divine power, enough to grant its master an inconceivable level of regenerative ability.

Jiang Ming muttered to himself, his gaze falling on the small tree that was half a meter tall.

"This one seedling alone cost me 1.5 billion Mixed Yuan Units."

Jiang Ming shook his head. At this price, even a typical King-level expert would have to sell a lot of things to afford it.
