Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 66 After the Wormhole!

With a tiger-like appearance, nine heads, and a human face, this should be the Enlightened Beast.

The essence of this monster is intelligent life, like Babata or the Fog Old Man.

82 billion years?

Origin Star?

Two key words awaken Jiang Zhe's long-dormant memories, allowing him to roughly deduce the origin of the bronze furnace.

He looked up and asked, "Is your master from the Origin Star lineage?"

The nine heads of the monster all showed surprise. "Strange. From what you've said, you're not from the Origin Star lineage? But you still know of the Origin Star's existence after 82 billion years?"

"Could it be that he really succeeded?" he muttered to himself.

Jiang Zhe's heart skipped a beat.

He signaled Orianna through the telepathic link to act quickly, lest it reveal some secret.

After muttering something, the Enlightened Beast didn't dwell on it much. Its nine heads swayed as it revealed its origins.

"I was born before the Origin Star, about 143 billion years ago. I am the true leader of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the predecessor of the Origin Star."

He knows—

The words came to an abrupt halt.

A beam of red light froze it, rendering it only able to think, but unable to move its body or speak.

The red light originated from beside Jiang Zhe.

A brass sphere, an alter ego of Orianna, uses its unique properties to subdue this outspoken intelligent life form.

After advancing to the Eternal Star level, Orianna grew to a genetic level of 10 times, and was able to create 1 main body and 9 clones.

Currently, the entity on the outside possesses two powers and controls the inner world.

Following Jiang Zhe are his clones, each possessing eight powers, which transform into bronze armor to protect his safety.

Jiang Zhe was on tenterhooks.

If the conversation had continued, there was no guarantee that the Enlightened Beast wouldn't have uttered some shocking words, revealing the secrets of the lineage from the Mountain and Sea Realm to Earth, spanning three generations.

That said, it seems that the Enlightened Beast knows a lot of secrets?

Subduing the Enlightened Beast, forcibly reading its memories, and then taking control of the entire tower... all these actions were completed within two or three minutes.

The doors on the first floor of the tower opened automatically, welcoming Jiang Zhe and the silver-clad primordial spirit inside.

Through their telepathic connection, Orianna reported the situation to Jiang Zhe.

"Master, we are indeed too late, 82 billion years too late. The treasures here have all been taken by an immortal from the Origin Star Era."

Jiang Zhe was already prepared, and when he was told the truth, he breathed a sigh of relief and accepted it.

He asked out of curiosity, "The true leader of the Mountain and Sea Realm? Anna, is she the one I'm thinking of?"

Then, he shared some of his memories with Orianna.

A few breaths later, Orianna made a comparison and gave a reply through the mental link.

"Master, it's most likely the person you're thinking of."

"In the memories of the Enlightened Beast, its master was about to receive a life-or-death inheritance, and before leaving, it made arrangements for this legacy."

"And then, it was gone forever."

"The next time the Enlightened Beast saw humans was 61 billion years later, when the immortal being I just mentioned took away most of the benefits of this place."

"Another 82 billion years have passed, and you are the third human it has ever seen."

"Huh?! It has only seen two people in 143 billion years? Is its mentality still normal? It has not shown any self-destructive tendency after being locked in a dark room for so long?" Jiang Zhe couldn't help but ask curiously.

It's worth noting that Babata once said that millions of years of solitude could gradually cause the psychology of intelligent life to become abnormal.

"His master was prepared, with technology from the machine race that would put intelligent life into a deep hibernation, making them unaware of the passage of time."

"These 143 billion years, if we only consider the days it occasionally awakens, actually represent less than a few hundred years of its history."

Jiang Zhe nodded, pondering to himself.

That person from the Mountain and Sea Realm walked the second path of the mind, and was rated as having the strongest fate despite his strength as a Realm Lord, even surpassing Luo Feng.

As for the immortal beings who grace this place with their presence.

Could he be the second candidate to emerge from Yuanxing, who has encountered the most hardships and has walked the path of the third level of mental state?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe's lips twitched, and he was no longer as calm as before.

"Anna, tell me what used to be inside? I want to see if it can make me feel the pinch."

"With your discerning eye, most of the things that were once placed here could not move you."

Oriana's praise caused Jiang Zhe's expression to stiffen slightly.

I knew she would suddenly change the subject and decide to do something big.

"There is only one kind of thing that can make you beat your chest in frustration."

"What?"

"The Beast God Tablet!"

Jiang Zhe: !!!

Orianna continued, "There were once eight Beast God stone tablets here, four for each of the two Beast Gods, Wood and Thunder. They were the original eight tablets on the lid of the bronze furnace."

Jiang Zhe remained silent.

After a long pause, he patted his cheeks and said softly, "To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate."

It's all empty here... Just as I turned to leave the tower, Orianna's teasing voice came through the mind link.

"Master, don't worry, that immortal didn't go all the way. He left two Beast God Stone Tablets here."

Jiang Zhe: ...

Although he was tricked by Orianna, Jiang Zhe was not disgusted and even preferred to see Orianna as more humane.

He rubbed his hands together, looking very expectant. "Be serious, tell me which two paintings you mean?"

"One painting each for Wood and Thunder!"

"Thunder?!" Jiang Zhe exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the third one?"

The so-called third image was defined by Jiang Zhe himself.

The content is about the wrath of the Beast God, standing proudly in the void, raising his hand to attack, and pointing out with a single finger.

That is, the original version of the one in the outline of "The Hand of the Beast God".

Orianna said softly, "Master, now that you've seen the third rubbing, do you think the original can still be preserved here for 143 billion years?"

"Sigh!" Jiang Zhe sighed.

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

It is likely that the immortal from the Origin Star lost or gave away the other six scrolls, which led to the creation of the [Hand of the Beast God], a psychic weapon.

Every drink and every bite follows a set of rules.

Led by Oriana, Jiang Zhe ascended to the top of the tower.

The Enlightened Beast was still pinned to the window, its eighteen eyes darting around frantically, hoping to attract Jiang Zhe's attention and have him freed from his restraints.

"Release it, but silence it, and explain the consequences to it," Jiang Zhe said to Oriana via telepathy.

The clone beside him immediately took action, its core emitting a red light that landed on the Enlightened Beast.

A few breaths later, the Enlightened Beast was able to move.

All nine faces lowered their heads and bowed their heads before Jiang Zhe, showing their submission.

"This time I'm taking everything from the tower. Don't stay here and waste your time. Come out with me and become a normal intelligent life form."

The Enlightened Beast nodded repeatedly with its nine heads, creating a comical scene.

Jiang Zhe glanced at it and then looked away.

They walked toward a thick wooden table placed deep inside the top-floor room.

On the table were two stone slabs, each about three feet on each side.

A dark green color;

A dark purple color.

Jiang Zhe had already seen the carvings on the stone slab; they depicted a spirit deer and a dragon-man.

The horns on their heads are almost identical, as if they were cast from the same mold.

The Wood Beast God Stone Slab... Jiang Zhe merely glanced at it, unmoved by its meaning.

They approached the stone tablet of the Thunder Beast God.

—The dragon-man, with his ferocious scales and powerful muscles, stood proudly in the void, his face full of majesty.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiang Zhe's consciousness trembled, as if he had witnessed the creation of the universe.

With a thunderous roar, the dragonman emerged from the chaos, and all things began to evolve at that moment. Stars and planets revolved around it, regarding it as the origin of the universe.

After a long while, Jiang Zhe finally came to his senses.

I raised my hand and gently stroked the stone slab, feeling the subtle patterns of its texture as it slid between my fingers.

The Way of the Beast God is merely the surface; its core is the key—the Way of Fusion Laws!

This is Jiang Zhe's fundamental goal!

These secret patterns all tell the story of the fusion of lightning and time, revealing a small part of the original mysteries of the primordial universe.

Jiang Zhe seemed to sense something.

This Beast God Stone Slab is probably second only to Luo Feng's small Beast God statue, and then to the sixty-four Beast God statues in the Beast God Realm, so it is extremely precious.

(Jade Gold Beast God Statue > Beast God Realm Statue)

(There are 15 jade-gold beast god statues in the Blood Luo World, and the human race has a treasure mountain but does not know it.)

He put both stone slabs into his spatial ring.

Jiang Zhe stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Eight tablets make a set, and both sets are missing half... Anna, does the Enlightened Beast know where its master obtained these stone tablets?"

"Found it."

Jiang Zhe: ? ? ?

Orianna explained, "It was found outside a natural wormhole."

"A half-body, terrifyingly powerful, flew out of the wormhole. He was still alive, struggling in pain, but he could not change the fact that his divine body was being rapidly annihilated. In the end, he only left behind many personal belongings."

"These eight stone tablets were discovered by the owner of the Enlightened Beast from its spatial storage device."

Divine body?

Is it immortality? Or a revered one?

Jiang Zhe remained silent.

Is this the true value of being rated as having the strongest luck by Puti?

"Anna, will that natural wormhole disappear?"

"I don't know, but the master of the Kaiming Beast left the exact coordinates of that wormhole, and the immortal from the Source Star also obtained the coordinates."

Jiang Zhe and the silver-clad primordial spirit exchanged a glance.

Behind the wormhole... it was like a Pandora's box, drawing them in.

In a couple of days, we'll make some adjustments and give everyone an accurate update time.

I'm sick of the National Day holiday and the release of new content, so in order to avoid missing updates for no reason, I have to work late into the night.

I will try to adjust as quickly as possible.
