Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 50 Lei Liyuan's Mother!

"Right here!"

As Orianna finished speaking, hidden doors on the walls surrounding the hall slowly opened, revealing a spiraling alloy staircase leading downwards.

In other words, the true collection of the Machine Race's immortals has always been trampled underfoot by them.

"And above!"

Orianna pointed, and a section of the ceiling was lifted, revealing the attic above the top floor, with a staircase extending down.

"Anna, what's the situation in each of the rooms downstairs?"

Oriana shook her head. "Alpha has never been inside, so it doesn't know; I only have control of the central control tower, and I don't have information about the individual rooms."

"Um...so, are we going to do an on-site inventory check next?"

"More or less, it'll be busy for a while... there are quite a few world rings and spatial rings inside."

World rings can be worn together.

It and the boundary within a boundary are two different situations.

The latter is more concealed and suitable for hiding treasures. The two spaces are well integrated and not easily discovered.

After all, when a world lord's projection descends, there are no secrets within the area it covers; a world ring cannot be hidden inside at all.

Conversely, a realm within a realm can be hidden.

The master and servant chose the nearest door and began the tedious yet surprising "inspection."

Force weapons/suits, telekinetic weapons, spatial rings... This is a warehouse specifically for storing loot, and it probably hasn't been cleaned in a while.

Judging from the tier of the equipment, there were quite a few cosmic-level, domain lord, and world lord-level beings who died at his hands.

There was a warehouse that looked like a laboratory, with a half-finished F-class mechanical puppet on the workbench. This was the area where it improved and developed technological weapons.

There was a "small" warehouse of only a little over a thousand square meters, with a dozen or so world rings on the shelves. Each ring contained an E9-class alloy spaceship, which seemed to be its spare vehicles.

After Oriana inspected them, Jiang Zhe felt that they were the same model as the one in Bermuda.

—It is particularly outstanding in terms of power. Apart from its defense, its performance is comparable to that of the Meteorite Star.

Considering this guy is a spy.

E-class spaceships are unassuming, yet possess all the performance characteristics of F-class spaceships. Their cost, calculated by the human race, is only a few thousand mixed units, and it would certainly be cheaper for the machine race.

Perfect for a spy to traverse human territory.

……

After taking inventory of all the warehouses located below, the master and servant returned to the main hall on the top floor.

The hidden doors in the surrounding walls slowly closed.

Jiang Zhe gently stroked the spatial ring on his middle finger.

Finding an A-grade lightning-type treasure suitable for your current level among that pile of loot is incredibly lucky.

A thought crossed my mind.

Suddenly, nearly a hundred fist-sized purple crystals appeared, which he held in mid-air using his mental power.

"Thunderous Vine Blood Crystal!"

"The sap that drips from the wounds of the Thunder Vine plant is rich in thunder-based primordial energy and abundant vitality, and has the effect of promoting the evolution of the body."

"It can be described as a lightning-attribute Wood Crystal, but it can only be effective up to the ninth level of the planetary level, and the energy inside is violent, so the absorption rate needs to be slowed down."

"Few people are willing to use it directly; it's mostly used as a raw material for medicines."

Orianna, possessing Babata's memories, had already identified the lightning-type treasure and revealed all its information.

"I have a better way to absorb energy. I don't need to worry about violent or conflicting energies; as long as it's lightning-attribute, I can use it!"

Jiang Zhe confidently pulled open his collar, revealing a diamond-shaped mark in the center of his chest.

Special ability: [Thunder Prison Realm]!

Using his mental power, he controlled each purple crystal to press against his chest.

The secret runes lit up, and a faint light flashed.

The blood crystal was then swallowed into the Thunder Prison Realm.

Jiang Zhe could sense that the blood crystals that had fallen into it were being rapidly decomposed.

It transforms into pure primordial energy, filling the space.

Seventy of them, decomposed into primordial energy, filled the 10m×10m×10m Thunder Prison Realm.

Jiang Zhe's thoughts raced.

I felt that I could control these energies as if they were my own limbs.

Whether it is:

Integrate into the body to enhance physical fitness;

Lightning condenses and overflows from his chest, granting him the ability to control lightning;

Burning off some energy in exchange for a brief, minor burst of basic physical fitness;

……

Or, it can be absorbed directly to promote the evolution of life!

Like a golden-horned behemoth that devours metal.

After trying out each ability, Jiang Zhe was very satisfied with the special ability he had awakened.

"Anna, the rest are yours."

"Thank you, Master!" Oriana bowed gracefully.

A red light emanated from her core, collecting the remaining nearly thirty Thunder Vine Blood Crystals into her original core.

Both master and servant can increase their power through "devouring"!

The two then immediately began cultivating on the spot.

Fourteen days passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Zhe opened his eyes and sensed the two miniature planets existing in his dantian.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness were four miniature planets.

Martial arts cultivation level: Planetary Stage 2!

Spiritual Master cultivation, Planetary Stage Four!

From this moment on, the title of the strongest on Earth shall change hands!

"Anna, how long has it been?"

「主人，今天是2月25日，您这次修炼持续了14天零8小时32分。」

"Also, tomorrow is the second day of the second lunar month. Your grandfather came to the courtyard to ask if we should invite you to the family dinner tomorrow?"

"I can be there. Have the clone outside send a message to the old man."

After giving his instructions, Jiang Zhe looked up at the pavilion above.

"This is the last place, and we still haven't found a suitable medium. Do we really have to wait..."

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

Entering the core layer of the Virtual Universe Company, and creating a second primordial spirit at the cosmic level?

Jiang Zhe sighed and flew towards the stairwell.

Orianna followed.

The top-floor attic, spanning over a thousand square meters, was completely empty. The dark silver alloy floor gleamed like a mirror, resembling an ice rink.

Before Jiang Zhe could even ask questions, Orianna had already taken control of the corresponding mechanisms.

One by one, alloy floor panels were raised to form square platforms with sides of about two and a half meters.

The top floor has a dark silver alloy floor, and the four side walls are all transparent glass, like a museum display stand.

The glass case should contain the items for display.

But after scanning the area, Jiang Zhe discovered that out of the twenty-five square platforms, only the first one on the right contained a metal box; the other platforms were empty.

Orianna controlled the glass door to open.

Jiang Zhe used his mental powers to bring the metal box to his side and then delivered it to Oriana.

Her hand brushed against the lock on the box.

After a few breaths, remove it, and the smart lock on it will become ineffective.

This is the passive effect of [Mechanical Pioneer].

—Besides replicating and deducing technology, Orianna has an unreasonable suppressive power over technological creations or life forms!

From controlling Babata to invading the immortal mechanical empire of the Machine Race, this characteristic has already begun to show its ferocity!

Unboxing!

The internal packaging is luxurious; it's clearly made according to gift box standards.

Jiang Zhe immediately realized that this was probably a gift from the Machine Race to a human traitor!

In the center of the box was a purple crystal ball about thirty centimeters in diameter, hollow inside and filled with an unknown liquid that shimmered with starlight.

The entire sphere also exudes a strong aura of the fundamental laws of lightning.

"Man-made? Or natural?"

Jiang Zhe suddenly turned his head to look at Oriana, his fists clenched, looking somewhat nervous.

Nearly ten breaths later, Orianna finally retrieved the item from Alpha's memories, but the record was somewhat vague.

"It's naturally formed!"

Orianna, concerned for her master, answered the key question first, which relieved Jiang Zhe.

"This is the Mother of Thunder Glass, originally from the Zerg Thunder God Temple secret realm, but it has now been completely monopolized by the Machine Race!"

"Break the Thunder Crystal Mother and use the outer crystal shell to make an alloy to create a mechanical body, which will enhance the clarity of the intelligent life form's perception of the Thunder Element Laws integrated into it."

"And for beings of flesh and blood, drinking the liquid inside will make their bodies more adapted to the Law of Lightning, their senses clearer, and their attacks using the Law more smoothly and powerfully!"

An incredibly powerful treasure!

But Jiang Zhe frowned inwardly, pondering something.

"My true form is affinityd with lightning, so does my second soul also have to be lightning-based? Is it possible to find a better vessel?"

"The deity drinks the liquid from the Thunder Crystal Source Mother."

"The second primordial spirit uses a treasure like the 'Heart of Space,' which contains superior primordial laws, as its vessel... This is the only way to maximize its benefits!"

"But now it seems I only have two choices in front of me?"

"Lightning attribute?"

"Or perhaps the second primordial spirit should be separated later?"

"No, even if I joined the Virtual Universe Company, a mere universe-level entity, obtaining a treasure like the 'Thunder Glass Source Mother' would be a pipe dream, let alone treasures with time or space attributes!"

"etc!"

"I actually have another option, don't I?"

Jiang Zhe suddenly seemed to realize something.

Yesterday, I completed one of my investment goals, which is to update it for 30 consecutive days.

Today is Tuesday, and I inexplicably made it into the third round of recommendations, so please keep reading and see if I can make it into the fourth round.

It means scrolling down/turning the page to the last page.

I saw someone say that the difference between a chapter costing 2500 and one costing 4000 is definitely significant.

This is a book by Tomato, written 12 years ago. Some readers may not remember it or may even have misremembered it. However, some content from the previous chapter still needs to be discussed to highlight the importance of the two secret techniques.

I'm spending today with my cousin who's visiting. I'm not sure if he'll be here tonight, so don't wait up for me.
