Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 53 [Reboot]!

After the two left, the almost frozen spacetime returned to normal.

During this period, both parts of Jiang Zhe's soul were in a state of stagnation and were unaware of what was happening around him.

But when a secret method called "Primitive Evolution" suddenly appeared in his mind, he knew that his plan had succeeded.

An "administrator" intervened and resolved the problem with the second primordial spirit.

As for this secret technique, it must have been given by the supreme rules, the upper limit that the original will of the primordial universe can bestow is that of a true god.

According to the description, the second primordial spirit has a fixed lifespan of three reincarnation eras from the moment of its birth.

Within three cycles of reincarnation, one must master this secret technique to transform the "inner universe" into a truly existing "primordial universe."

Um... it's a smaller version of the original universe, a youth version, meant to be compared to the level of a Chaos Ruler in cultivation realms.

—That is, to fully comprehend all ten laws and completely integrate them into the Chaos Law.

Otherwise, when life comes to an end, even if the body remains young, the soul will decay and die like the realm lord.

Only the life crystal core—the divine crystal—is left behind, and it will be used as the origin of the universe, with the supreme rules creating a primordial universe.

Jiang Zhe was so engrossed in "Primitive Evolution" that he didn't notice the two administrators leaving until Orianna woke him up.

Looking down at the chaotic-colored divine crystal covered with dark gold patterns in his hands... no, it should now be called the life crystal core.

A feeling of closeness and intimacy welled up inside me; this was a part of me!

If the main body encounters a calamity of death one day, the main consciousness will be reborn in the divine crystal and continue to live in place of the secondary consciousness.

"Go cultivate first and elevate your life level."

With a thought, Jiang Zhe sent out the life crystal core, which hovered in mid-air and spun around.

The primordial energy of the universe was drawn in.

Jiang Zhe stared blankly as the primordial energy of the universe around him became increasingly viscous, eventually turning into a mist-like substance that could probably be easily crushed into cosmic crystals.

How did it do that?

Inside the life crystal core, a special space was created, similar to the dantian in a martial artist's lower abdomen.

The primordial energy of the universe is integrated into the life crystal core, refined into genetic primordial energy, and aggregated in a special space to form a miniature planet, two, three, four... nine!

Then, nine planets exploded one after another!

A genetic energy storm was unleashed in a special space, eventually causing a massive amount of genetic energy to aggregate and collapse into a miniature star.

Eternal Star Level 1!

From this point on, the rate of improvement slowed down considerably, and the life crystal core gradually stopped rotating, no longer absorbing the primordial energy of the universe to improve its cultivation.

The second primordial spirit is different from the clone. Its cultivation level is not limited by the original body and can directly reach the universe level, but it will take some time.

However, even if you were promoted to the lowest level, it would still be the weakest cosmic-level, with combat power completely failing to meet the standards.

"now!"

Jiang Zhe gave a low shout.

Streams of chaotic energy rapidly surged from the life crystal core, then condensed into a shape in the blink of an eye, revealing a naked, robust young man with black hair and yellow skin.

It's Jiang Zhe.

Exactly the same as Jiang Zhe himself, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the cabin!

"Tsk tsk, I'm really well-endowed!"

After admiring himself, the chaotic energy surged and transformed into a silver robe, which he draped over "Jiang Zhe" opposite him.

The second primordial spirit has a fixed life form.

However, as an energy-based life form, it can also disintegrate its body at any time, and its energy can be recombined into other forms, such as transforming into its original form.

Another example:

It transformed into a ferocious tiger, its eyes filled with bloodlust and savagery;

He transformed into a thunder dragon, with arcs of electricity crackling across his body, and his vertical pupils were filled with indifference and majesty;

It turns into a stone, ordinary and unremarkable, causing people to subconsciously ignore it;

……

Controlling his second primordial spirit to constantly change forms, Jiang Zhe was having a great time.

After a while.

"It's time to see his true form!"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes. "Anna, take the spaceship away from the asteroid belt and into the vast open space outside."

The spaceship started moving, stopped a few minutes later, and the hatch opened.

The Hengxing star was already able to survive briefly in space. The main body and the second primordial spirit flew out of the cabin and hovered in the void of the universe using their respective methods.

Let's begin!

With Jiang Zhe's command, the second primordial spirit flew out, and the young man in the silver robe disintegrated.

Only one life crystal core remained, spinning rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, a massive amount of chaotic energy spewed out from the life crystal core, rising, intertwining, and condensing like smoke into segments of silvery-white scaled snake bodies.

In just a few breaths, a colossal creature stood before Jiang Zhe.

The Titanoboa recorded in Earth's history is nothing compared to it; even the Thunder Dragon King in the Pacific Ocean is probably slightly smaller in size.

The true life form of the second primordial spirit is a giant silver-white snake over a thousand meters long and nearly thirty meters thick at the waist.

On the fine snake scales, each the size of a washbasin, are countless intricate and ethereal patterns and symbols, resembling the symbol "∞".

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

His eyes were bloodshot and cold.

What is most striking is that the silver-white giant snake, with its head and tail joined together, displays a perpetual cycle of rebirth, making it the famous "tail-swallower" image.

"Ouroboros, the Eternal Serpent!"

Although he was mentally prepared, Jiang Zhe still couldn't help but be stunned when the giant silver snake appeared before him.

Although he had not yet crossed the threshold of the laws of time, he saw that the space around the snake's body was viscous, as if there were rivers flowing in the void, surrounding the silvery-white giant snake.

Jiang Zhe had a bold guess in his mind.

That is probably the manifestation of flowing time!

The enormous silver-white serpent body disintegrated, and the second primordial spirit transformed back into a young man draped in white robes, flying back to the original body's side.

Back in the spaceship cabin, Jiang Zhe's heart was still restless.

The reason I made that guess when I saw the viscous, flowing void was entirely due to the innate secret technique obtained by my second primordial spirit.

The first innate secret technique: [Reboot]!

—Mark the state of a target or region at a certain moment, so that the target or region can be restarted individually or in a wider area in subsequent development.

This is not about reversing time; it's about overwriting the current save file with a previous one.

Having read the detailed explanation of [Reboot], Jiang Zhe really wants to ask the two "administrators": Did you just stand by and watch this "BUG" appear?

Or is it that its effects fail to move you?

Reboot, judging from the effect description, sounds a lot like the universe's mastery of spacetime.

But it's far inferior.

However, in some aspects, it is even more incredible than "controlling time and space".

If a genius were enslaved and killed by an alien race, the human race's cosmic ruler would have no way to resurrect him.

But using "Restart" is different.

As long as the state of that genius before he was enslaved is recorded, Jiang Zhe can restart him back to the state when the record was saved.

Besides being used externally, it can also be used on oneself.

For example, you can mark your healthy state before a battle, and if you suffer a fatal injury during the battle, you can take the opportunity to restart and start a second life.

The two examples above are just random ones.

[Reboot] There are many more uses waiting to be discovered; the potential of this talent is extremely high!

The book title is not a gimmick.

[Reboot] The core ability of the protagonist was established right from the start of the book.

It's not entirely a spacetime faction; it includes a path exclusive to the protagonist, inspired by Xue Ying's [Void Realm].

The rest is... cough cough, [a giant silver-white snake], [head and tail connected], [reboot]... It should be easy to guess, right?

I copied the ideas and some settings.
