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

Qiulongxing.

After returning to Qiulong Star, Jiang Ming entered his inner world.

At this moment, the giant egg was floating in front of him.

This egg was enormous, with a diameter of nearly 7 kilometers and a height of 13 kilometers, and it was oval in shape.

"Perhaps I have a way."

Jiang Ming had a vague premonition that the egg was not completely dead and that there was still a glimmer of hope for it.

This premonition was inexplicable, because even under Jiang Ming's divine eye, the egg had already lost all sign of life.

Jiang Ming frowned.

The fluctuations triggered by "Divine Beast Affinity" are by no means unfounded.

It was a deeper connection, traversing the endless starry sky, emanating from this secret realm on the verge of complete collapse, and landing precisely on him.

If it really is dead, where does this fluctuation come from?

The problem is not with the egg itself.

Jiang Ming gradually understood.

"And between me and it."

He sat cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the enormous dead egg in front of him.

The silver pattern between his brows quietly lit up.

Third Eye, open!

From that hyperdimensional perspective, every detail of the dead egg is clearly visible.

The microscopic structure of the eggshell, the dried-up energy veins inside, the long-solidified protoplasm... everything tells the same story.

death!

"Not enough."

The original core within Jiang Ming's body, condensed from the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, began to spin wildly!

Force, soul, and body—the three are perfectly united at this moment!

All the power, all the will, all the beliefs, all converged at the center of the forehead!

The silver lines between his brows suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!

This ray of light pierced through the inner world and shone outwards.

Jiang Ming's brow furrowed.

It was a vertical slit, like the eye of a god in mythology, slowly opening.

Silver light poured out from the cracks, each ray containing an indescribable mystery.

Wherever that light passed, all illusions vanished, all fog receded, and all appearances were stripped away, revealing the true nature of everything!

At that moment, Jiang Ming's consciousness was instantly pulled into a dimension that could not be described in words.

And on that giant egg, there was a line connecting him.

The thread was incredibly thin, as if it might break at any moment.

Following this line, Jiang Ming saw the last wisp of thought that existed within this giant egg. This wisp of thought was so small that it was almost non-existent.

But it's still there.

Because the protection of the primordial universe has not completely dissipated, this wisp of 'thought' has been sheltered within it and has been preserved to this day.

Jiang Ming's will probed towards this wisp of 'thought', and then gently pulled it.

hum!

The dead egg began to change.

A faint golden halo slowly emanated from inside the eggshell.

At first, it was just a tiny, faint light, like a candle flame about to go out in the dark. But as time went by, the halo grew brighter and brighter!

The previously dull patterns on the surface of the eggshell began to light up one by one.

"He's alive!"

Jiang Ming saw this wisp of thought, which ignited the flame of life within the egg.

But just as Jiang Ming was overjoyed, the surface of the egg only lit up by one-third before it could no longer light up.

"Insufficient energy. Even after being nurtured in the secret realm for countless ages, it still hasn't accumulated enough energy to be released."

Jiang Ming instantly understood and made a decision the next moment.

Using his finger as a sword, he pierced a hole directly into the egg.

Jiang Ming's primal force surged into the egg, and from the perspective of the Heavenly Eye,

Find the innate runes that are developing within the egg.

With a single sword strike, two-thirds of these talent runes were severed!

This egg was conceived during the peak of the secret realm.

Its innate endowment is extremely powerful, and therefore, even after countless years since the secret realm was destroyed, it has still been unable to be conceived.

At this moment, Jiang Ming cut off most of its talent, causing its talent to drop by half after birth, but in doing so, it also gained the opportunity to be born!

The spark of life ignited by this thought will vanish in an instant; if nothing is done, the egg will ultimately remain a dead egg.

"It's a success."

A smile appeared on Jiang Ming's lips.

He sensed that the egg's life force had been completely stabilized. Although Jiang Ming had severed its innate secret technique, its life force had been preserved as a result.

But he soon discovered that the egg still showed no signs of hatching.

That lingering thought has dissipated.

Jiang Ming quickly discovered the root cause: if nothing unexpected happened, this wisp of thought would give birth to a spirit within the egg, becoming its soul.

But this thought ignited the life force of the egg, prolonging its life while also preventing it from ever giving birth to a spirit again.

"pity......"

Jiang Ming sighed softly.

He had tried his best, but still couldn't completely save him.

However, Jiang Ming thought again that this was a special life form with a complete life structure but no self-awareness.

Isn't this excellent material for possession?

The power of special life forms is self-evident. They are blessed with unique advantages, born extraordinary, and possess potential and talents far exceeding those of ordinary life forms.

Even though Jiang Ming cut off most of its talent, it still managed to surpass ordinary life forms with the remaining talent.

The Golden Horned Beast is nothing more than a creature with a special bloodline, barely even remotely related to special life, yet it is already so strong.

Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in Jiang Ming's mind.

Luo Feng.

Because of the Golden Horned Beast incident, Jiang Ming always felt that he owed Luo Feng some compensation.

Although he knew that the Golden Horned Beast was not the foundation of Luo Feng's success, and that Luo Feng might not necessarily go astray even without it, the opportunity had indeed changed because of his appearance.

Possessing the body of the Golden Horned Beast was considered a moderate opportunity even by a powerful figure like the Lord of Chaos City.

Therefore, Jiang Ming has never found an opportunity to make amends.

But the egg in his hand now is just right.

.......

In the virtual universe, on the continent of Qianwu, in Jiang Ming's manor.

Luo Feng's virtual figure appeared in the reception room, his face showing a hint of confusion.

"Brother Jiang, what do you need me for?"

Where are you now?

Jiang Ming asked.

"Participate in the cosmic mercenary assessment in the Thunder World."

Luo Feng didn't hide anything and briefly explained the situation of the three of them.

Thunder World is a world ruled by a master, jointly managed by several major forces within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and used for the assessment and trials of cosmic mercenaries.

"Thunder World?"

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.

He vaguely remembered the name. In the original timeline, a "realm within a realm" was hidden within the Thunder World, containing a vast treasure.

Those treasures were the legacy left behind by a powerful realm lord, and had once sparked considerable competition.

"Have you noticed anything unusual in the Thunder World?"

Jiang Ming asked.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, you found out too? There's a realm within a realm in the Thunder World, and it's appeared now. I wonder how many people have come in looking for treasures."

"Then I'll go too."

"what?"

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, but he quickly explained his current location.
