Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 68: Enlightenment!

The silvery-white snake's body was joined head to tail, with other parts also close together and coiled, forming a cluster that occupied a vast airspace with a diameter of nearly a thousand kilometers.

Jiang Zhe estimated that if the snake's body were stretched out, it would probably be over ten thousand kilometers long.

It is expected that once it grows to the peak of the Realm Lord level, its serpentine body will likely be able to coil around the entire Earth without any problem.

Uh... let's not talk about Earth for now, let's talk about Mars right now.

With a diameter of just over 6,000 kilometers and a maximum circumference of over 20,000 kilometers, the Eternal Serpent seems poised to coil up Mars with a little more effort.

A terrifying size!

This made Jiang Zhe beam with joy.

In this world, the larger the size, the better. The 12-light-year divine body of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is even more awe-inspiring.

While the Eternal Serpent is not as large as the Nine Nether Blood Sea or the World Tree, it is still more than enough to rival the Starry Sky Beasts.

Realm Lord!

This is the Realm Lord!

Synchronizing with the senses of the silver-clad primordial spirit, and experiencing the immense power contained within the snake's body, Jiang Zhe was momentarily captivated.

In just a moment, his vision cleared again.

Jiang Zhe was quite self-aware and knew his own limitations.

This only represents a life level reaching the realm lord level; in terms of combat power... he could barely be considered a figure in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

If you were to encounter the realm master of the Doomsday Secret Realm of the Virtual Universe Company, you'd be guaranteed to get a sound beating.

Jiang Zhe didn't care, since he wasn't going to fight anyway, and his silver-clad primordial spirit wasn't afraid of damaging his future cultivation potential.

Only by comprehending a single law and beginning the practice of "Primal Evolution" can one be considered to have begun the cultivation of the Silver-Clad Primordial Spirit.

If any other domain lord broke through to the realm lord level in this way...

If the foundation is not solid and the life core is not strong enough, it is impossible to open up a large internal world, and the world projection to resist the law domain is just a pipe dream.

The inner world is small, so the divine kingdom that emerges from it is also small...

After calculating and recalculating...

One wrong step leads to another, and in the end, one can only become mediocre. No matter how hard one tries, one can never become a true god.

Apply the above situation to the silver-clad primordial spirit.

Is the core not hard enough?

The life core is the life crystal core, and its essence is a divine crystal. Let's see who can shatter it.

Is the inner world small?

It's essentially an undeveloped, chaotic universe. Forget about the later stage of an external divine kingdom; it stays inside the body and ascends to the heavens in one step, possessing the characteristics of a god-king.

Jiang Zhe carefully sensed the changes after the silver-clad primordial spirit broke through to the realm master level.

The world of...

Hmm? I forgot, I haven't opened up the inner world yet.

Although it possesses similar power, I wonder if it should still be called by this name?

Otherwise, the power of the universe?

Reflecting on the breakthrough he had just made, Jiang Zhe felt it was bizarre, unreal, and surreal.

The primal force crystal formed at the domain lord level directly transforms into a source bead. Logically, the power of the world should be born accordingly, and then...

Then, there was no process of creating a world within the life crystal core; the life crystal core simply underwent a transformation.

And that's how the Realm Lord was formed.

A promising start but a disappointing finish... no, a weak ending, like child's play.

However, the realm of Realm Lord is real and true. All authority related to the inner world, except for the storage of items, is replaced by the inner universe.

World projection? Yes!

The snake's body disintegrated, and the silver-clad primordial spirit, reappearing in human form, had a thought.

boom!

The desolate Martian landscape suddenly changed, surrounded by swirling, chaotic currents, creating a hazy, oppressive atmosphere.

Should we call this a cosmic projection?

As for its strength?

Jiang Zhe couldn't determine the outcome, nor did he want to test his skills with a World Lord or an Immortal, because regardless of the result, it would expose the unique nature of his world projection.

This method... is best not used before your combat strength reaches the level of an unparalleled world lord.

Conversely, everyone who has seen them will die!

As for the most important ability of the Realm Lord—that consciousness can resonate with the power of the world and enter the origin of the universe?

No problem!

The silver-clad primordial spirit immediately began to try.

Consciousness resonates with the power of the world, instantly entering the origin of the universe...

The mysterious origin of the universe.

This is the core of the entire primordial universe, and no one knows when it came into existence.

Upon entering, the consciousness of the silver-clad primordial spirit was directly absorbed by the endless earth and fell into a grain of sand. Its consciousness sensed the various primordial fluctuations of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, time, and space with unprecedented clarity.

Everything can be clearly perceived!

"This is awesome!" Jiang Zhe exclaimed.

He shared the senses of the silver-clad primordial spirit, like snuggling up to the neighbor's wife, and was able to connect to the internet to learn about the latest happenings in the world.

"Anna!"

Jiang Zhe let out a low shout, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

This was added to Orianna's World Bracelet.

The top floor of the tower.

Beside the workbench, Jiang Zhe, referring to the lightning law tracing board, began to "wield his brush" on the blank circuit diagram with a soldering gun in hand.

Breaking through to the realm master level requires a deep understanding of the lower-level laws.

Jiang Zhe's approach is to analyze the essence of the laws, which is a very difficult path. Without the assistance of various means, his comprehension speed is as slow as a tortoise's pace.

If this continues, the level of comprehension will not meet the requirements for advancing to the realm master level.

Therefore, starting in 2054, Jiang Zhe temporarily changed his method of comprehending the laws.

Master only three to four tenths of each mystery, and quickly go through all 72 mysteries.

Based on a comprehensive understanding of the laws of lightning, the analysis of 30 mysteries, and the special characteristics of the silver-clad primordial spirit.

It took the combined efforts of many factors to barely cross the threshold of the Realm Lord level!

But once you cross that threshold, your consciousness can enter the realm of the fundamental laws, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and the road ahead will be smooth sailing.

Exquisite circuit diagrams were drawn on each circuit board, which were then handed over to Oriana for testing.

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

The 31rd profound mystery, complete mastery, fully comprehended!

The 32rd profound mystery, complete mastery, fully comprehended!

The 33rd profound mystery, complete mastery, fully comprehended!

The 34th mysterious type, 80% complete, excellent!

Only then did Jiang Zhe stop what he was doing, put the welding torch aside, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Great achievements come from long-term accumulation!"

"It'll be difficult to achieve such a terrifying pace again!"

Despite saying it was "difficult," Jiang Zhe had a big smile on his face, showing no sign of worry.

"continue!"

Replace the reference board in front of you with a time-law reference board, and use a soldering gun to trace the pattern on the circuit board.

The myriad feelings in my chest, when put on paper... are still a tangled mess.

Soon, one circuit board became unusable.

Jiang Zhe was not discouraged and switched to a second piece.

The consciousness of the silver-clad primordial spirit hung in the origin of the universe, acting as a signal receiver for Jiang Zhe to assist him in comprehending the fundamental laws.

2056 4 Month 25 Day.

Beside the workbench, a strange man with hair long enough to be tied into a small braid and a scruffy beard finally stopped his welding torch, which was spitting sparks, after five months.

Using her mental powers, Orianna lifted the circuit board and sent it out, skillfully inserting it into a large, copier-like testing machine.

Determine the intensity of the laser attack emitted after the machine is started.

"The Law of Time, the first profound mystery, fully comprehended!"

Her voice was as steady as ever, but the barely suppressed joy was obvious to Jiang Zhe.

"Phew~"

"Is it finally done?"

Jiang Zhe let out a long sigh, and for a moment, he felt somewhat listless.

Looking back on the past.

From 47 to 56, nearly ten years had passed.

He relied on only one law plate, which was stronger than "Bloodstained Secret Manual" and similar to "Time and Space Essays", but there was still a big gap.

Without the special environment of the initial universe, and without the help of the Chaos Monument to inspire him, he finally comprehended the profound mystery of the first law of time!

"At this moment, I am confident that, based on this profound understanding, I can reach the third level of the Bridge to Heaven, whether I succeed or not is another matter."

"Just like Luo Feng, who spent ten years honing his skills!"

This is not an exaggeration; Jiang Zhe's near-perfect understanding of the other eight profound mysteries is not just for show.

My heart, which had been temporarily empty after achieving my goal, was once again filled with burning fighting spirit.

Jiang Zhe straightened up again.

"Master, shall we continue?"

"That's all for now. I'm going home to visit my family. I haven't been home for the New Year this year. What was Grandpa's reaction?"

"Your grandfather was even coming to Mars to find you, but he couldn't find a spaceship. He even wanted Una and Arlene to take him directly here," Oriana chuckled, covering her mouth.

Jiang Zhe shook his head and chuckled, "It's my fault, I should have left a few spaceships for the family."

I caught a glimpse of a silver-clad primordial spirit sitting cross-legged in the corner of the hall, comprehending the laws of earth and void.

Jiang Zhe found it funny again.

I had previously turned off the "Law Enlightenment Interconnection Channel," but now I have to reconnect in order to use Wi-Fi.

Although there is some interference between the simultaneous study of the laws of different schools of thought, these minor interferences are negligible compared to the gains.

Jiang Zhe stroked his chin. "It's time to send the silver-clad primordial spirit on its way. Let's go and find out what's going on with that wormhole."

Silver-Clad Primordial Spirit: ...

I've left the starting village and am now progressing through the story, encountering characters from the original work.

These ten chapters contain some foreshadowing, which will be revealed one by one later.

Also, regarding the silver-clad primordial spirit, it cannot die as long as no one can shatter the divine crystal, and since it has no soul, it is not afraid of mental attacks.

Even if it is sealed away or suppressed by the primordial universe, Jiang Zhe has a way to bring it back.

The only difficulty the silver-clad primordial spirit faces is completing the "Primitive Evolution" over three reincarnation eras; failure to do so means death.

At that time, Jiang Zhe will no longer have a second primordial spirit.
