Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 52 The Supreme Rule!

The moment Jiang Zhe ascended to the Hengxing level, he revealed his true intentions and began to harm his own soul.

Willpower is the bone, consciousness is the blade!

He suppressed his mental energy, causing the starlight to dim, turning it into a red-hot charcoal.

A bright white light appeared diagonally on the "charcoal block" and gradually extended.

"what!"

Jiang Zhe roared in agony, the pain acting on his soul was unbearable.

However, compared to the torment of the Star Tower that recognizes its master, it is nothing, since the pain is only momentary.

Jiang Zhe dared to cultivate the second elemental mystery technique, so he was naturally well-prepared and gritted his teeth to endure it.

"point!"

With a low shout, the blazing white streak instantly shone brightly.

The miniature star representing the core of the soul has been cut off at an angle, with one-third of it removed!

A wave of fatigue washed over Jiang Zhe, and he felt dizzy, almost fainting. But he dared not let the feeling get the better of him and gritted his teeth to hold on.

If I fall into a coma at this point, it's all over!

A severed soul cannot be reunited; if it cannot quickly return to its vessel, annihilation is the only possibility.

Orianna pushed the metal box in front of Jiang Zhe, who was sitting cross-legged. Inside was the basketball-sized Thunder Crystal Source Mother.

A flash of light.

That small portion of the soul completed its spatial transformation within the original core, suddenly appearing in the inner world and rushing straight towards the divine crystal placed on the stone table.

Jiang Zhe subconsciously held his breath, extremely nervous.

This is a chance for a fish to transform into a dragon; it all depends on whether the Divine Crystal will grant it its wish.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the soul transformed into a streak of light and flew into the divine crystal without any hindrance.

"call!"

Jiang Zhe was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and his pent-up emotions erupted at this moment.

"Yay! It's done! Hahaha..."

A brief moment of joy, lasting only a few breaths.

After that, Jiang Zhe got busy with important matters.

That part of the soul was still under his control, sensing the situation after it merged into the divine crystal.

A sense of comfort welled up inside me.

It felt like returning to a mother's embrace; the drifting boat had finally reached the harbor, and a sense of peace and warmth filled my soul.

When the soul finds a body to reside in, it is naturally comfortable.

But as the initial comfort faded, a sense of oppression lingered in my heart.

It's like... having an orange seat lying on your chest while you're sleeping, or feeling like you're drowning, both of which make it hard to breathe.

Feeling suppressed or trapped, experiencing a sense of restriction, and finding it difficult to move.

The second primordial spirit... is formed, but not completely!

There was a massive thing inside the divine crystal that was oppressing him, something his divided soul couldn't control.

That is... the Way of Heaven!

The operating rules of a chaotic world.

The vast Dao principles, both within reach and obscure, were vastly different from the fundamental laws of lightning that he had comprehended, and were incompatible with this world.

"Do I need to comprehend all these Heavenly Daos? Or even the core Chaotic Heavenly Dao? Only then can I gain control over this divine crystal?"

Jiang Zhe shook his head repeatedly, "When will that be?"

If I can gain any insight into anything involving the word "chaos," it must be because I've reached a very late stage in the game.

By the time the second primordial spirit emerges, it will be too late. Perhaps humanity will have already dominated the universe, and the top experts will have passed through reincarnation and headed to the Origin Continent.

"Moreover, the 'Dao' within the Divine Crystal is completely different from this world, making it difficult to connect with the origin of the universe. Even if you comprehend it, it will be wrong, difficult to use, or if you do use it, it won't have much power."

How could a foreign tiger tally possibly mobilize the troops of one's own country?

"We need to bring in outside help to localize it. Even though there is a risk of losing it completely, it's still better than letting it rot in our hands."

He himself was not capable of resolving the situation, but Jiang Zhe knew that there was a way to do so.

Before you become a true god, you can always believe in the primordial universe.

The "Heavenly Conspiracy Theory" does not apply to the original will and supreme rules of the primordial universe.

They are the best nannies in the source world, treating their children exceptionally well.

Kang Chul is not an indecisive person, and decided to try to embrace them.

In fact, even if one comprehends chaos and masters the divine crystal in the later stages, and takes on a physical form, as long as one leaves the inner world, one will still be tested by the original will and even the supreme rules.

Let's bring this moment forward.

Hey Primal Bro, I've noticed you've been visiting quite frequently lately and seem pretty helpful. Could you please get me another cosmic ID card and reissue a few talent secret techniques?

Losing the divine crystal, gaining the unknown?

Or perhaps it will transform into the most promising life form in the primordial universe or the source world?

This is a huge gamble!

After devising a solution, Jiang Zhe could no longer hold on; his weakened soul needed to be soothed as soon as possible.

The Hidden Dragon Technique, activated!

Jiang Zhe fell into a deep sleep, his consciousness drifting away into the void, his memories once again blocked, experiencing different lives in his dreams as if reincarnated.

This time I was lucky; I was reborn as a sea dragon, similar to the Thunder Dragon King that dwells beneath the Pacific Ocean.

Perhaps it was his weakened soul that forced out his potential.

Similarly, the divided soul within the divine crystal also uses the "Dragon-Hibernating Technique" to complete itself.

In comparison, Jiang Zhe II was less fortunate.

His dream began with an earthworm, then progressed to earthworms, pigeons, falcons, deer, cheetahs, overworked humans, snake cultivators…

Proceed step by step.

While Jiang Zhe was still experiencing one round of dreams, Number Two had already gone through six rounds.

It wasn't until the seventh round, when he became a cultivator, that things began to stabilize, and the duration of his dreams lengthened.

……

I don't know how much time has passed.

In the dream, the Thunder Dragon encountered an enemy of a much higher level and was forced to become a mount. It refused to submit and thus inevitably perished.

The moment his head was blown off in his dream, Jiang Zhe suddenly woke up in reality.

His eyes widened, transforming into cold, vertical pupils, with arcs of electricity flashing out continuously, exuding an aura of imposing authority without anger.

After catching his breath, Jiang Zhe adjusted his state.

Harmony with light and dust.

The majestic aura unique to the Thunder Dragon vanished instantly.

It was as if what I had just seen was just an illusion.

Jiang Zhe is as ordinary as a stubborn rock, his aura has faded, his presence has diminished, and he is easily overlooked when he stands there.

This is a wonderful application derived from his spiritual cultivation approach.

Universe in harmony!

Unity of self and object!

No form, no self!

Tiger Yao is him, Thunder Dragon is him, Stubborn Stone is him... There's no such thing as one being influenced by another; he can transform into anything!

It is no exaggeration to say that if Jiang Zhe could acquire a talent like shapeshifting, he would be a top-tier master of disguise comparable to the Demon Slayer Clan.

Because it can change the most important aspect of one's soul!

"So, without any cheat codes or connections, is the cultivation journey of a wandering cosmic traveler really this difficult?"

Jiang Zhe sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but think of his cheap teacher, Hu Yanbo, and began to have a different opinion of him.

"Perhaps the teacher really does have some talent. The Chaos City Lord's praise for 'Soul Imprint' was not just a nice remark to save face for Luo Feng."

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

"Master, is everything going smoothly?"

Hearing Orianna's question, Jiang Zhe gathered his scattered thoughts.

"It's alright," Jiang Zhe replied vaguely. "Send a C9-class spaceship; we'll leave Earth and head into space to take care of something."

"Yes, Master."

"The spacecraft has been confirmed. It is expected to be ready for takeoff in 17 minutes after testing."

……

In the desolate universe.

As Jiang Zhe watched the blue planet gradually shrink behind him through the outdoor simulation, a surge of emotion rose in his heart.

But he was strong-willed and quickly adjusted his emotions.

"If it weren't for the giant axe, why would I have left my homeland to go to the dangerous universe to 'activate' my second primordial spirit!"

"The weak can't even protect their own hometown!"

"Ethnic groups, after all, are not a benevolent institution!"

Jiang Zhe looked lost, a sense of loneliness, as if he didn't belong to this world, welling up inside him.

"Master, in ten seconds we will reach the speed of light and enter the dark universe."

"7!"

"6!"

……

Through outdoor simulation, the planets outside can no longer be seen with the naked eye; the starry sky is completely blurred and gradually even turns dark.

"2!"

"1!"

The outdoor simulation is off, and the spaceship enters the dark universe.

Approximately 27 hours later, the divine soul within the divine crystal awoke from its practice of the "Dragon-Hibernating Technique".

"Anna, prepare to leave the dark universe. Determine your current location on the star map and find a desolate area nearby where there is no life."

"Master, we are traveling at 2.5 times the speed of light in the dark universe. We have now left the Milky Way galaxy and are more than 8 light-years away from your home planet..."

Orianna reported on the current situation.

She copied Babata's memories, so she naturally has the most complete star map and won't lead Jiang Zhe astray in the universe.

In an asteroid belt, the C9 spacecraft drilled into an asteroid with a diameter of 100 kilometers.

The spacecraft came to a stop.

Without hesitation, Jiang Zhe took out a crystal-clear gem the size of two fists from his inner world.

The moment the divine crystal appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the primordial universe, casting an extremely oppressive gaze that froze time and space.

However, in an instant, the solidified space shattered.

The primordial will of the universe was forced to retreat temporarily, and an even grander will of rules descended upon this place.

It is the supreme rule that maintains the operation of the cosmic sea and even the entire Origin World!

The unique structure of the divine crystal even startled it, and it sensed the weak soul within and the life force that was taking shape.

Ultimately, the supreme rules chose to give this new life a chance.

With a forceful move, the divine crystal was modified, eliminating its obvious extraterrestrial characteristics and making it conform to the current rules of the source world.

Shatter the conflicting and biased fundamental rules within, and release them from their oppression of that soul.

Eradicate the incompatible fundamental rules, and then allow the remaining rule fragments to completely merge into the divine crystal, transforming them into an affinity with the approximate fundamental rules of the current world.

Chaos meets chaos, and disappears;

Life against life; temporarily hidden;

Destruction against destruction; Temporary hiding;

Earth against soil; exposed;

Fire against fire: Revealed;

……

The originally crystal clear divine crystal turned into a chaotic color, and complex and obscure dark golden patterns began to appear on its surface.

Tracing back to the source, the divine crystals are given a life form and condensed into corresponding innate secret techniques.

Then, the supreme rules, imitating the evolution of the primordial universe, deduced a secret cultivation method and inserted it into Jiang Zhe's divided soul.

Finally... he dispersed Jiang Zhe's fragmented soul and completely merged it into the divine crystal, becoming a true energy-type life form.

With this, the transformation is complete, and the supreme rules have been withdrawn.

The original will of the universe, which had been previously pushed out, has returned.

He lingered over the divine crystal for a couple of moments, made a note of this unique life form, and copied the cultivation secrets with him.

After leaving behind a rather unique innate secret technique, the primordial will of the universe departed.

There will be another chapter tonight.
