Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 64 Dragon Man and Deer!

"Let's begin."

Jiang Zhe first opened his lightning domain, with electric snakes surging around his body.

The silver-clad primordial spirit followed closely behind, and a heavy, chilling earth domain descended, with black energy surging continuously within it.

Even though they belong to different individuals and have different attributes, their domains do not collide, oppress, or force each other back... but rather strangely merge and overlap.

Under Jiang Zhe's deliberate control, within a hemispherical area with a radius of 50 meters, purple and black intertwined, and electric snakes danced with the airflow.

The laws of space and time are simultaneously integrated into the field, presenting an interplay of etherealness and solidity.

The sheer complexity within this small hemisphere is enough to make even the most gifted participants in the battle of geniuses question their very existence.

If things had progressed according to the normal timeline, Luo Feng, who was at the height of his power in the future, would have been defeated by the Earth Domain, which incorporated the laws of space.

With his exceptional comprehension, Jiang Zhe can easily integrate the laws of space and time into the domain.

His desire for the path of the Beast God is understandable.

Although some law affinities are temporarily hidden, their effects are not hidden and continue to exist.

For example, a higher level of clarity in understanding the laws of time/space, and a higher level of comprehension of the fusion of these laws...

True God, Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Ruler—these later stages all involve playing with the laws of fusion, until the ten return to one and the laws of chaos reappear.

The Way of the Beast God, a magnificent and righteous path, not to be missed!

After setting up the domain, Jiang Zhe focused his mental energy on the clean and new-looking lid of the bronze furnace.

"rise!"

Peel it off forcefully!

Countless tiny, paper-thin metal sheets, the size of sesame seeds, rose into the air from the furnace lid.

The thin slice fell into the electric snakes and dark air currents, and was repeatedly baptized by the laws of earth and space and lightning.

Jiang Zhe was very patient, quietly waiting for things to change.

About ten breaths later, perhaps the stimulation from the Four Great Laws was sufficient, the fine patterns behind all the thin slices began to shimmer with a faint, eerie light, and were stimulated to reveal a special charm.

Based on his understanding of the two fundamental laws of thunder and time, Jiang Zhe selected the fragments that resonated with him.

These 10081 thin slices are identical in shape and can be pieced together to form eight images.

However, the eight layers arranged on the furnace lid were not correctly combined; they were randomly laid out on the furnace lid after being shuffled.

With a thought, a total of 5040 thin slices were distributed in front of Jiang Zhe.

The silver-clad primordial spirit had 5041 items remaining.

However, the silver-clad primordial spirit frowned and made no move.

Jiang Zhe was busy re-categorizing the items and didn't notice the abnormality on the silver-clad primordial spirit's side.

He keenly noticed subtle differences in the subtle nuances emanating from the 5040 thin slices.

As the faint light shimmered on the patterns on the thin metal sheet, like breathing or a beating heart, Jiang Zhe followed the rhythm.

Gradually, one can discern different nuances on the thin slices.

majesty!

anger!

Tranquil!

joy!

Following the four emotional themes, divide the thin slices into four groups, each containing 1260 slices. This is the correct combination that can be pieced together to form the four correct images.

Jiang Zhe stared intently at one of the documents.

Feel the resonance of thunder and the laws of time, experience different emotional states, and see the patterns contained in the texture of each thin slice.

Using telekinesis, the thin pieces were pieced together.

It started slowly and was very difficult.

The larger the parts to be assembled, the faster the assembly process.

In less than ten minutes, they were pieced together into a metal sheet the size of a palm.

There is a portrait on it.

Numerous fine lines form a majestic humanoid dragon beast.

It sits cross-legged, its dragon claws resting on its thighs, its ferocious face serene and solemn, like the Buddha in mythology.

A sense of tranquility washes over you.

The dragon's horns, scales, and tail are depicted on its body with lifelike detail, and you can even see the secret patterns on them.

Jiang Zhe was shaken, recalling the secret rune diagram in the general outline of "The Hand of the Beast God".

Although it was blurry, one could vaguely sense that it was a dragon-man, suspended in the void, pointing out a finger.

"Beast God!"

"Like that giant lizard that was slain in the Bloodlust World, is the Thunder Beast God a dragon-human?"

"That's right. The Golden Horned Beast and the Lizard are roughly the same size, both on all fours and with horns... while the Devastation Beast is humanoid, but it evolved into an ape."

Continue, puzzle piece.

Having learned from the first piece and knowing what the image looked like, the puzzle-solving speed increased significantly.

In less than twenty minutes, the other three pictures were pieced together.

The four pictures are arranged side by side.

The first image is serene, depicting a dragon-man sitting cross-legged.

The second image is majestic, depicting a dragon-man standing tall.

The third image depicts anger, with a dragon-man reaching out to attack.

The fourth image depicts joy, with the dragon-man dancing with delight.

Examining the four pictures, Jiang Zhe frowned. "Flaws, they're all missing a piece!"

you do not say.

In each picture, there is a blank space on the chest of the dragon-man.

3mm long, 2mm wide.

It is exactly the size of a thin metal sheet, and only after it is completed can the overall pattern be made coherent.

"1260 pieces!"

"5040 pieces!"

"10081 pieces!"

"If you piece together eight pictures, there will be one left over. What about you—"

Jiang Zhe looked up and stared at the silver-clad primordial spirit.

A cluster of unsorted metal flakes floating in front of him was particularly glaring.

He was about to ask, "How is it going?"

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

Then we discovered...

Dude, you want to slack off?

In fact, even without the silver-clad primordial spirit answering, Jiang Zhe understood what was going on when their eyes met.

"Attribute mismatch?"

"I can only sense that they resonate with the laws of space, but I can't perceive anything else?"

Jiang Zhe was working hard, but this time he was given a cold shower.

Is it metal? Or wood?

The silver-clad primordial spirit is compatible with four elements of law, and has created domains in his spare time, with the earth domain being the most profound.

The Space faction is unique in that it lacks the elements of Metal and Wood.

This time, we just happened to run into a blind spot.

Moreover, it requires not only knowledge of these two systems, but also a sufficient understanding of their laws.

Only in this way can the correct combination be selected from 5040 metal sheets and pieced together according to different meanings.

"Sigh, you should go and study those two fields first."

"Once we can determine its attribute, we can then consider the issue of comprehending the laws."

Afterwards, the silver-clad primordial spirit went to a corner of the hall to ponder the laws of metal and wood.

Jiang Zhe sat down at the worktable and studied the lightning-based law rubbings.

Three days later, it was finally confirmed that the corresponding attribute was wood, and the other four pictures were most likely wood-type beast gods.

To complete the puzzle, it's time to study the principles of wood.

The sheer scale of the lock on the outside of the bronze furnace was enough to make Jiang Zhe eagerly anticipate what treasures might be inside the white crystal core.

Contact the "Strange Things Pavilion" on the Dragon Star and ask them to help find a biological body tissue with a strong affinity for the fundamental laws of wood, preferably one with innate secret techniques.

The ideal target in my mind is, of course, a giant star beast corresponding to the wood element.

But Jiang Zhe understood that it was something that could only be encountered by chance, and he could afford the price, but the giant star beast was too rare.

Some immortal gods have never even seen one in their entire lives.

For example, Teacher Hu Yanbo.

Two weeks later, Jiang Zhe went to Bailan Star to receive a body tissue that far exceeded his expectations.

On the return journey, the silver-clad primordial spirit was given the [Life Dominator] to analyze and replicate the complete life form.

Jiang Zhe stared at the "giant toad" lying on the wasteland and fell silent.

Its limbs are thick and strong, making it look more like a crouching bear, with an endearing and clumsy appearance.

With blue-green skin and sparse fleshy warts on its body, it is about 300 meters long and carries a huge, crown-shaped flower bud on its back, looking like it is about to bloom.

A special life form, a darling of the wood element, the Crowned Green Toad!

The other party did not disclose the level of life genes, but the silver-clad primordial spirit measured it to be 36 times, and there was also a not particularly outstanding talent secret technique.

In the form of the Crowned Green Toad, and with the help of its affinity with the Wood element, the Silver-Clad Primordial Spirit immersed itself in comprehending the fundamental laws.

Three months later.

In June 2051, the understanding of the Wood Element Law was achieved, and the remaining four diagrams were completed.

"So the Wood Beast God is a deer?"

Jiang Zhe murmured softly, placing the last metal piece after piecing together the eight images into the position of the Thunder Beast God's chest in the "Meditation Image," filling in the blank space.

As the secret runes were completed, a faint pressure emanated from it.

The humanoid dragon beast on the metal plate was lifelike, but Jiang Zhe was not satisfied and frowned.

He was inwardly complaining.

"This picture..."

"Although I haven't seen it, I think it's far inferior to the Great Beast God Statue in the world of Rasio!"

"No, it's not even as good as the censored secret pattern in the general outline; it lacks that special artistic conception."

"Forget it, it's just a lock on the outside of the bronze furnace. Do you expect it to be some kind of ultimate secret manual?"

Jiang Zhe shook his head and chuckled.

Using telekinesis, the eight assembled images were placed over the furnace lid.

A faint light flashed, and the intricate patterns on the furnace body were activated. The rust spots peeled off and the furnace body became as clean as new.

click!

The mechanism turned, and the furnace lid popped open.
