Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 541 Stacking Boxes?

Becoming the master of the chaotic universe not only elevates combat power, but also transforms one's vision, aptitude, and other aspects.

Just as human computing power has its limits, but humans have supercomputers, we can propose ideas, hand them over to supercomputers to execute the process, and obtain the final desired result.

The chaotic universe is roughly equivalent to an external armor, an external brain.

With this powerful blessing, Ji Ning was able to see through the landscape stele in the blink of an eye and absorb the essence of weapon crafting contained within it.

Next, Ji Ning reforged the six cosmic treasures, the "North Moon Sword," in the Ultimate Supreme Heart World, and also reforged his Dharma Body. With the help of the nurturing of the entire chaotic universe, the Dharma Body's strength rapidly increased to 80% of his original body's strength.

Then, Ji Ning, carrying the divine sword, took a step, traversed space, and arrived outside the chaotic universe, where he saw the green-robed bull-horned man who was already waiting outside the membrane.

Listening to Tai Chu's "incessant chatter," Ji Ning paid little attention, instead surveying the vast, boundless, and dazzling endless space.

A single thought can turn back time.

Ji Ning saw the origins of the nine chaotic universes, the glory of the previous civilization, the domineering nature of the black-robed emperor, and the magnificent spectacle of over a hundred ultimate supreme beings joining forces to fight the emperor...

He traversed the void to the source of everything, to the region where that once vast continent was located, where a universe was slowly absorbing the surrounding matter and gradually taking shape.

Ji Ning understood; this was his master's goal, a better choice than the Chaos Universe.

At the same time, during the time rewind, he also verified some of his master's previous statements.

The green-robed bull-horned man not far away was indeed a remnant of the previous civilization. Judging from his Daoist aura, he was the "Yin Yang Venerable," the third cosmic patroller under the black-robed emperor, and a majestic old bull with a jet-black body.

He seemed to be secretly controlling something, and was also secretly observing this unformed universe.

Following his usual modus operandi, Ji Ning would destroy this universe, completely extinguishing the green-robed, horned man's hopes and eliminating any possibility of further turmoil in the endless space.

Now, Ji Ning certainly couldn't be so reckless. His master had treated him with benevolence and righteousness, so how could he do something unjust and ruin his master's path to promotion?

"Then let them fight. At worst, I'll sacrifice two Dharma bodies and a second primordial spirit to repay my master's kindness... Hmph, in short, I can't let that annoying old ox get his way."

Ji Ning hardened his heart and pondered to himself.

"I initially thought my master was also a cultivator from the previous civilization, perhaps an ultimate supreme being, or even a black-robed emperor. But upon closer reflection, that's not the case. My master, my teacher, must indeed have come from beyond the endless space..."

"Beyond the endless space, I wonder what magnificent wonders lie ahead? But those wonders are irrelevant to me. I'm content to stay with my senior sister and be a small controller of the chaotic universe."

Afterwards, Ji Ning pretended not to notice anything, exchanged a casual greeting with the golden-robed dharma body and the green-robed bull-horned man, and returned to the desolate chaotic universe.

In the endless years that followed, Tai Chu, who was secretly observing the wild and chaotic universe, felt something was very strange.

Strange! The new ruler of the chaotic universe is a complete shut-in. He stays in the chaotic universe and doesn't even send out a single avatar to explore the endless space. He seems to have no interest in exploring the unknown or becoming stronger.

Gradually, Taichu lowered his guard.

Unbeknownst to him, Ji Ning's avatar returned to the primordial chaos of the universe, and while he was no longer waiting by the unformed universe, someone took action.

……

"Ji Ning, I'm leaving. As for when you come to my aid, it's entirely up to your teacher's arrangements," the ancient cultivator Jiang Zhe instructed before his departure.

"Grandmaster, rest assured, I will not let you and the teacher down," Ji Ning nodded repeatedly, making a solemn promise.

The siblings standing nearby, their eyes resolute, began to argue.

"Dad, I will comprehend the 'Great Destruction' as soon as possible and come to help you."

"Yes, Dad, I'm here too. Just wait a little longer, my sister and I will definitely be able to help you!"

Jiang Zhe frowned, about to refuse and tell them to behave themselves. He promised that after they broke through to the ultimate supreme realm, he would find them a chaotic universe and send their second primordial spirits there to reincarnate, hoping to secure a position as the controller of a chaotic universe.

Suddenly, he paused, realizing that he couldn't keep protecting them forever; he should let them experience a higher level of conflict.

He then promised, "If you two have already broken through by the time I finally make my move, you can send your avatars with you."

Subsequently, Jiang Zhe carried with him the prototype of the truth universe he had created, activated "Upright and Shadowless", and his figure disappeared into another dimension, passing through the membrane of the chaotic universe and entering the endless space.

He even lingered under the nose of the green-robed bull-horned man for a while, and only after seeing that the other party had not noticed him for a long time did he head to the target location and enter that unformed universe.

Even before the universe was fully formed, it already had a membrane. This membrane generated suction, drawing in the surrounding matter and transforming it into the purest chaotic energy, thus expanding its size.

Passing through the membrane, the surroundings were chaotic, like a dark desert between territories in a chaotic universe, with desolation, barrenness, and ignorance as the main themes.

As they made their way toward the core of the universe, it couldn't be said that the places they passed through were all emptiness and nothingness. Scattered, desolate stars could be seen, each seemingly in its early stages of formation. There were also many strange and dangerous places, which were particularly perilous due to their incomplete formation.

However, danger was no obstacle for Jiang Zhe, because he was traveling in another dimension and had not entered the real world.

Standing upright without casting a shadow, absolutely brilliant!

The universe was in its infancy and unstable, without a trace of life. As for the other great paths, they were scattered and intertwined, incomplete, or simply nonexistent, and had not yet been derived... All of this indicates that the origin of the universe was not fully developed.

"That's good... The origin of the universe is not yet fully formed, like a blank sheet of paper with only a few dishes of paint prepared on the side. It hasn't been painted yet, so it's convenient for me to paint a picture in my own style. If the origin were close to complete, it would be like a painting that's only half finished. The galloping horse has already been painted halfway, but if I were to take over and paint a dragon, that would be too difficult."

"The Primordial One still lacks the necessary courage. If you want to reach the level of the 'Black-Robed Emperor,' to become the primordial will of the chaotic universe with self-awareness, how can you expect to reap the rewards halfway? You must abandon everything from the very beginning and become one with it!"

Jiang Zhe chuckled and exited the "Standing Still Without Shadow" state.

Now located at the very core of the universe, Jiang Zhe could sense that with just a gentle wave of his hand, he could tear through the void and enter the origin of the universe.

"Let's begin, let's replace it."

Jiang Zhe took out the prototype of his true universe and used the Supreme Ultimate World Dao to merge it into the void and into the origin space of the universe.

Since the origin of the universe had not yet been formed, it naturally did not have a complete will. It only knew how to passively devour and evolve, so it would not let go of such a large mass of supplements.

They accept everything that comes their way and devour it all.

It should be noted that the original form of the prototype universe of truth is the Three Realms, and Jiang Zhe's true identity in this realm—the "Eternal Serpent"—was conceived in a special dimension of the prototype universe.

This move is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house!

Without any ripples, the entire process was so effortless that Jiang Zhe was astonished; the prototype of the truth universe replaced the original space of the universe.

From then on, the "Eternal Serpent" became equivalent to the primordial will of the chaotic universe. Once the universe had fully developed, he would be an existence like the "Black-Robed Emperor."

No, he is stronger than the "Black-Robed Emperor". After all, the other party does not have the ultimate path of supreme power, while he has eight, a full eight ultimate paths of supreme power!

"Let's construct the origin of the chaotic universe according to my ideas. Let's build the basic framework first and fill it in slowly later."

"Three-layer structure"

The top level is the "Eternal Serpent," representing the supreme ultimate truth. This was chosen because it can be the supreme ultimate truth now, but not necessarily in the future. The "Eternal Serpent" still has the potential to grow and will not limit the future levels of the chaotic universe.

Furthermore, placing the substantial, supreme, and ultimate truth at the top level may not be able to control other supreme and ultimate truths at the same level.

It is merely a symbol, not a concrete representation, yet it possesses limitless potential for growth.

The second layer is envisioned as a series of supreme and ultimate paths.

Although there are only seven elements now—life, destruction, time and space, world, cause and effect, inner demons, and thunder—these seven elements are enough to support a stable framework.

The world is the basis of matter, and in a sense, it replaces the functions of chaos, yin and yang, the five elements, and the four phases.

Spacetime is the basis of existence, acting as the agents of time and space;

Inner demons are the source of the spirit, representing the realm of the soul;

The Thunder were responsible for opening the scoring;

Life and destruction are the source of power, setting everything in motion and causing changes in the universe;

Cause and effect act as a link, integrating looseness into a whole, and also as a lubricant...

The second layer of architecture is as described, with these seven pillars for now.

The third and lowest level of the architecture consists of eternal and ultimate paths.

It is important to note here that each supreme ultimate path governs a complete set of eternal ultimate paths!

Just like there are seven chaotic universes in the new universe, and seven chaotic universe controllers, all under the control of the top-level "Eternal Serpent".

There are only seven now, but the number will increase as I wield more supreme ultimate paths...

"Hmph, until all the Great Daos in the endless space are pushed to the level of the Supreme Ultimate Dao, and the 'Eternal Serpent' (Supreme Ultimate Truth Dao) that surpasses them is forcibly pushed into a new level..."

The "Eternal Serpent" is pushing the primordial space of the universe to evolve towards its envisioned structure, and from the perspective of the ancient cultivator Jiang Zhe, it finally reveals its ambitions.

In the cycle of great destruction and great life, countless eternal ultimate paths are born. When they unite, they give birth to the incredible achievement of the supreme ultimate path.

If we were to replace it with the above process, and instead take control of all the supreme ultimate paths, use them as resources to sacrifice them, and concentrate them to elevate the supreme ultimate truth path, would the latter step into an unprecedented pinnacle realm in the endless space?

Even bolder, let's do one more lap, two more laps, three more laps...

The power boxes are now stacked up, aren't they?

Back to the present, Jiang Zhe's eyes were full of fervor; he wanted to take the first step.
