Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 103 Blood of the Ancient Gods!

The cultivation missions are specially prepared for cosmic-level members by the five major human factions, and a maximum of 10 missions can be accepted every 100 years.

Furthermore, to prevent cosmic-level geniuses from becoming overly engrossed in cultivation tasks, there is a limit to the total number of tasks each person can accept.

As a member of the Primal Secret Realm, Jiang Zhe can accept a maximum of 3 Extreme-level missions and 15 Danger-level missions.

Therefore, we need to plan carefully and choose those hidden cultivation worlds.

In another timeline, Luo Feng had already discovered the "Ruins Ancient Temple." A clone of the Demon Slayer Clan infiltrated the dangerous place, seized a "Purple Chen Hundred Luo Leaf," and hurriedly fled. It was an F-grade item worth 200 million Chaos Units.

Jiang Zhe felt that if he could have similar gains, he could use them as food for Orianna to increase her growth rate in the Realm Lord stage.

……

The detailed description of the "Ruins Ancient Temple" was quite long, which greatly interested Jiang Zhe.

The "Ruins of the Ancient Temple" is located in the Primal Secret Realm, which was originally a vast floating continent born from the Primal Secret Realm, also known as the "Ancient God World".

The indigenous people living there are no different from humans, possessing a strong talent for spiritual cultivation, and call themselves "ancient gods".

In a very distant era, a great war broke out, shattering the "Ancient God World" and leaving only the "Ruins of the Ancient God Temple" as it exists today.

Numerous continental fragments have coalesced into a unique indigenous world, roughly the size of the solar system, shaped like a funnel or a vortex.

The uppermost region is about 1 light-year in diameter and extends downwards to about 1 light-year, or 9 trillion kilometers.

The lowest level is a whole continent with a diameter of tens of millions of kilometers. It was once the core area of ​​the "Ancient God World". More than a hundred ancient temples of different sizes are located on the continent, hence the name "Ruins Ancient Temples".

"hint:"

"The outer area of ​​the ruined ancient temple is extremely hostile to outsiders; the core area is dangerous because outsiders have unusual auras and will be surrounded and killed by immortal-level forces if they enter. If you are not confident, please restrain your greed and do not go deeper."

"The indigenous people of the Ancient Gods world specialize in the spiritual master system, and it is not recommended that martial artists explore it too deeply."

"To accept the training mission of the 'Ruins of the Ancient God Temple,' you must not bring any technological items; Force weapons and psychic weapons can only be selected from the list provided by the monitoring team, and personal equipment is not allowed; your personal attire must conform to the image of an ordinary member of the Ancient God race."

"His appearance is too strange, so his appearance and physique must be modified to conform to the norms of the ancient gods."

"Those who enter must master the language of the ancient gods."

……

Jiang Zhe opened the two accompanying diagrams and examined them carefully.

One book contains detailed illustrations of the 209 branches of the Ancient Gods, while the other is a list of commonly used psychic and force-based weapons.

Although the ancient gods specialize in the mental cultivation system, genetic energy is something that every life form must learn. There are quite a few martial artists in the ancient god world, but very few become powerful.

Jiang Zhe quickly found the branch race that suited him to impersonate on the map—the Martial God Clan.

"The ancient god race's martial god branch has an average height of 2 meters, a well-built physique, and a bronze complexion. Apart from these features, they look almost exactly like Earthlings."

"In addition, the Martial God Clan has many martial artists, and its overall strength ranks in the bottom 50 out of 209 branches. They live in tribes outside the outer area... I'm going to the inner area of ​​the outer area, which will make it easier to disguise myself."

Afterwards, Jiang Zhe selected telekinetic weapons and force weapons from the second set of diagrams.

In principle, attached metal life forms and plant life forms are not allowed to be brought in.

But Orianna is different; she possesses the talent of "Material Master," allowing her to perfectly simulate any armor existing in the world of the Old Gods.

They even donned a skin to mimic the ancient gods.

Therefore, there is no problem.

……

"Ruins of the Ancient Temple" Training Quest:

1. Obtain the "Hero Badge of the Thirty Royal Cities" and you will receive 10,000 points upon success.

2. After 565 days, possess the Thirty Royal City Hero Badge and participate in the Ancient God Clan's once-in-a-millennium "Holy City Grand Sacrifice" to gain the qualification to drink the "Blood of the Ancient God" and obtain the title of "Son of the Ancient God." Success will grant 100,000 points. (This is a time-limited mission, occurring only once every millennium, and can be ignored.)

Completing either task signifies the successful completion of the cultivation mission.

"drop!"

"Please confirm acceptance of the 'Ruins of the Ancient Temple' training quest."

"Received successfully."

"Please fill in your departure time. Virtual Universe Company will arrange a spaceship to take you to the Ancient God World."

……

Jiang Zhe stroked his chin, savoring the details of the cultivation mission.

"There are six dangerous missions in the Primal Secret Realm. Luo Feng spent three years and six months completing them and gained 9.5 points... It seems he was unlucky and missed the opportunity to discover the secrets of the Ancient God World."

"Interesting, 10 points? Could the secrets hidden within rival those of the Bloodlust World?"

Jiang Zhe was filled with curiosity about the world of ancient gods, and based on the experience of the Blood Luo world, he guessed in advance that the "blood of ancient gods" must be some kind of important treasure.

Three days later, Jiang Zhe, who had mastered the ancient divine language, set off.

Bermington piloted the spaceship to send Jiang Zhe out of Wuchen Space-Time, told Jiang Zhe to be careful, and watched him enter the spaceship sent by the Virtual Universe Company. Only after the spaceship disappeared into the dark universe did Bermington pilot the spaceship back.

……

In the dark universe, a sword-shaped spaceship is traveling at dozens of times the speed of light.

"Your Highness, we will be heading to the world of the ancient gods. The spaceship will maintain a speed of 30 times the speed of light and is expected to arrive in 34 hours."

A bald man in a white robe, with a palm-sized tattoo on the right side of his neck, reported the situation to Jiang Zhe with an infectious smile on his face.

He then asked, "Your Highness, would you like to rest first, or would you like me to tell you the details of the ancient god world?"

Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow. Was there more inside information?

"Tell me about the world of the Old Gods, thank you."

"Your Highness, you're too kind."

The bald man in the white robe communicated with the spaceship's AI, and a screen of light and shadow appeared in the center of the hall.

The screen shows a vortex-shaped star field composed of countless continental plates, divided into four major regions from top to bottom using green, yellow, red, and blood red colors.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

A continental plate with a circumference of 4 kilometers is not even among the many continental fragments in the ancient god world, and it cannot be shown on this map.

It is conceivable that the complete world of the ancient gods is absolutely no less impressive than the world of Blood Luo.

Strangely enough, even though the human race surrounded and killed the Golden Beast God, they still couldn't destroy the Blood Luo World. What kind of calamity did this ancient god world suffer?

The bald man in white robes pointed at the video and began to talk about the world of the ancient gods.

Jiang Zhe temporarily suppressed his curiosity and listened attentively.

"Your Highness, the Green Zone occupies 3/5 of the Ancient God World, but it is resource-poor and has scarce cosmic energy. The strongest beings in the Green Zone are those who have just entered the Cosmic Level. Your cultivation mission is completely unrelated to the Green Zone. I suggest that Your Highness not waste your time in the Green Zone."

"The yellow area is the outer area where Your Highness carries out your training mission; it is the dwelling place of the ancient god race's powerful beings."

"The outer region has forty-four holy cities, each occupying a continental plate spanning billions of kilometers, and each city is ruled by an immortal god."

"There are also eight thousand royal cities, each occupying a continental plate spanning tens of millions to hundreds of millions of kilometers, with the realm lord serving as the city lord."

"Your Highness is to carry out training missions in these royal cities..."

"The red zone is known as the 'Pilgrimage Route.' It contains countless treasures, but even realm lords who venture into it face a near-death experience. Your Highness's two cultivation missions are unrelated to this area. I urge Your Highness to prioritize your life and not explore too deeply."

"The blood-red area, the core of the ruined ancient temple, where even immortal powerhouses perish upon venturing deep within..."

Listening to the white-robed, bald man's story, Jiang Zhe's eyes held a profound meaning.

It was obvious that the waiter who came to pick him up was suspicious; the information he provided was far too detailed.

Just like before Luo Feng even entered the Blood Luo World, someone told him that the Blood Luo Crystal was very important and that he should remember to take the Blood Luo Crystal to the Ancient God Ruins to help fuse with the evil energy.

However, the bald man in the white robe didn't go too far.

It simply reminds you where the danger is, where going is a waste of time, and subtly tells you the appropriate activity area and the safe escape route.

……

More than 30 hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Zhe felt the spaceship slow down and escape from the dark universe, and then he awoke from his comprehension of the "Nine Refinements Fist".

"Jorson, have we arrived?"

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness. We need to hand over some supplies you need here before continuing our journey. We should arrive at our destination in about an hour."

As he spoke, the spaceship exterior simulation was activated, and Jiang Zhe saw a fish-shaped spaceship waiting outside.

The bald man in the white robe flew out of the spaceship, handed over a world ring to two staff members dressed in the same white robes, and gave it to Jiang Zhe.

The ring contained a wooden spear, nine bowl-sized stone beads, a set of rosewood hardwood armor, and a dilapidated spaceship... These were the equipment Jiang Zhe was allowed to use in the ancient god world.

An hour later, the sword-shaped spaceship once again escaped the dark universe.

"Your Highness, this is where I'll take you."

"You will be able to reach the satellite city of Bear King City in about a month by piloting the spaceship in the World Ring. You will need to obtain legal status and access to the Royal City in the satellite city before you can officially begin your cultivation mission."

"Your Highness, have a safe journey."

"Thanks, Jorson."

After waving goodbye to Jorson, Jiang Zhe boarded his dilapidated little spaceship and set off.

The blood of the ancient gods has nothing to do with the beast gods, so please rest assured.

According to the original setting, the human race only possesses the corpse of the Golden Sky Beast God and will not engage in any indiscriminate activities.
