Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 91, "The Thunder God's Record," was passed by chance!

Unfold the scroll on the stone table.

The scroll was milky white and looked as thin as paper, but Jiang Zhe could tell from the touch that it was actually a special kind of leather, very resilient.

Jiang Zhe suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Skin is also body tissue. What if we tear off a corner and cut out a three-corpse clone? The things that Ashu gives are generally not too bad, even if they are just scraps used as embellishments."

The thought had barely formed when Jiang Zhe shook his head and extinguished it.

"My second clone should be a combat clone, preferably humanoid, capable of using all my combat techniques without hindrance. I don't need to consider body size or the clarity of my understanding of the fundamental laws... I just need to have formidable combat power and tenacious vitality!"

"Therefore, you can't just open blind boxes like the Candlelight Clone; you have to have enough understanding."

The reason for choosing to nurture the Candle Illumination Avatar was because it enhanced one's understanding of the clarity of the fundamental laws of time and space, without caring about its true form.

As a result, the blind box contained a gold card with a life gene level of ten thousand times and an enormous size.

Right now, who knows what kind of person owns this skin? It's best not to gamble.

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Zhe's mind, but his attention was quickly drawn to the unfolded scroll, and he was deeply moved by the divine inspiration depicted on it.

The scroll is two feet wide and five feet long. It is painted in color, mainly in dark tones, with a background of dense dark clouds and thunder.

In the center of the scroll is a dragon-man with the appearance of a strongman, covered in scales and horns, staring angrily, holding a pusher in one hand and beating the twelve drums surrounding him with the other.

Does it resemble the image of Thor from Yingzhou?

No! This is the traditional Chinese image of the Thunder God.

Moreover, it is a relatively early image of the Thunder God, before the appearance of "Lei Zhenzi". This image of the Thunder God has appeared in the painted murals of many ancient ruins.

This painting combines the image of the Thunder God from the Classic of Mountains and Seas with the image of a strongman from later periods, resulting in this powerful dragon-man Thunder God.

"The Thor's Catalogue?" Jiang Zhe had already learned about it.

This is a scroll containing infinite mysteries of thunder magic, and should be called the "source of all wonderful methods". Everyone who views it will have different gains.

Some may glean a meditation technique from it; others may see a fundamental cultivation method for the path of thunder; or perhaps comprehend a deadly technique that allows one to control thunder and wield heavenly tribulations...

The scroll is imprinted with the ultimate truths of heaven and earth; what one can gain from it depends entirely on the understanding of the one who comprehends it.

Take Jiang Zhe himself as an example. Looking at the dragon man's strong muscles, he felt something and slightly adjusted his own strength, and felt that his strength multiplier had greatly increased.

After advancing to the cosmic level, it is estimated that there is a power amplitude of 70 to 80 times. Now that it has been upgraded again, the specific value needs to be tested at the "Immortal Altar".

"That's interesting, but... is there any future in cultivating thunder magic in this world?" Jiang Zhe frowned slightly.

It should be noted that in this world of origin, "lightning" does not actually occupy a high position.

Simply being "shocking" isn't enough; "shocking + time" is more interesting.

From then on, it's all about the fusion principle.

Upon reaching the stage of Eternal True God, one comprehends even a trace of the mysteries of the universe's origin. Even the "Origin of Thunder" is only comparable to the "Origin of Light and Darkness" or the "Origin of Water and Fire," and cannot compare to the "Origin of Spacetime" or the "Origin of Birth and Death"...

"Forget it, let's not think about it too much. We'll use it for now." Jiang Zhe shook his head. "At least for now, it can help me comprehend the fundamental laws of lightning, inspire my creativity and help increase my power amplitude. Maybe I can even discover a secret method to increase my body's amplitude."

Jiang Zhe had been staring at the scroll when he suddenly noticed a subtle change in its contents.

The image of the Dragonman Thor is becoming more and more complete!

Even the dragon's horns, scales, and skin are outlined with faint, mysterious patterns that are unique to this world, very much like the Thunder Beast God on the "Beast God Slab".

Staring at the ever-growing and clearer secret patterns, Jiang Zhe exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh! It's not just lightning, I also see light, wind, time, and even space and the five elements faintly appearing."

"Could it be... that it is imprinting the fundamental rules of this world, using the lightning system to control numerous rules, forcibly elevating the Thunder God's rank, and making the Thunder God's image more compatible with this source world?"

Jiang Zhe murmured to himself, feeling pleasantly surprised.

If it truly has this effect, the potential of "Thor's Chronicle" will be greatly increased.

Even if you end up in a different source world, as long as you carry this "Thor's Manual," you can still become a master of the Way of Thunder in that new source world.

"We need to hurry and not miss this opportunity!"

Jiang Zhe collected his thoughts and focused on the constantly emerging law patterns, trying to comprehend the primordial laws that were being imprinted upon him.

Even for Professor Mobosan's regular instruction, she had to ask Oriana to help her ask for leave.

……

It wasn't until April of the 2074th year of the Hanxia calendar that Jiang Zhe awoke from his meditation.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" Feeling his improvement over the past year, Jiang Zhe exclaimed repeatedly, "The Thor's Record should be more effective than the Chaos Stele in aiding in comprehending the fundamental laws!"

"The Chaos Stele is merely the Lord of the Universe's own understanding of the laws, while the Thor's Record captures the mysteries of the primordial laws and imprints them on a leather scroll. There is a fundamental difference in their levels."

Jiang Zhe smiled, no longer insisting on his choice of the Chaos Stele.

The effects of the Chaos Monument are actually limited for geniuses.

Let's take Luo Feng as an example again.

After Luo Feng properly completed the first three diagrams of the Nine Universes Chaos Stele and mastered 108 spatial mysteries, he turned to studying the Beast God Statue and cultivating the "Seven Kills of the Beast God". After experiencing the extraterrestrial battlefield, he went to the Ancestral God Sect to receive the inheritance. Finally, under the arrangement of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, he went to the Beast God Realm to create secret techniques. After completing this series of cultivations, he became a well-known figure in the primordial universe.

Jiang Zhe left the space inside the bracelet and reappeared in the spaceship.

After greeting the guards, including Sha Wu, and having a drink with Luo Feng to chat about recent progress, I logged into the virtual universe to visit Teacher Mo Bosang, who had been stood up for a year.

Even if he valued him highly, the near-deified immortal king, who had been stood up for nearly a year, still had a temper. If he didn't have a mission to complete, he would have turned around and left long ago.

Therefore, when Jiang Zhe came to visit, Mo Bosang took him to the training ground to check his progress in cultivation.

If it doesn't meet the standards, you're bound to get a good scolding.

After a while, Mo Bosang's effeminate face softened considerably.

"Very good. It seems you haven't wasted this year. Your comprehension of the fundamental law of thunder has surpassed that of most realm lords, and is only below those realm lords recognized by the law."

"Yes, teacher, I have comprehended 72 of the mysteries of the Law of Thunder."

As the name suggests, the core of "Thor's Chronicle" is "thunder," which is Kang Chul's biggest achievement in the past year!

Mobosang nodded. "I have no doubt that if you had focused on studying the Law of Lightning during the initial 30 years of the universe, you would have gained the recognition of the fundamental Law of Lightning after you emerged. But I don't want you to do that."

He then explained, "Gaining cosmic-level recognition from the fundamental laws makes your talent dazzlingly obvious. This will propel you to the top of the alien kill list. You'll be in the open, while your enemies lurk in the shadows. Your safety... to put it bluntly, is hard to guarantee. I have a grandmaster uncle..."

Mo Bosang suddenly chuckled, "Forget it, why am I telling you all this... Anyway, your understanding of the Law of Thunder is already sufficient. From today onwards, focus all your efforts on comprehending the Law of Time."

"Follow the teacher's instructions."

"You've grasped more than 20 of the mysteries of the laws of time, haven't you?" Mo Bosang asked again.

"The teacher has keen insight and has already grasped 21 profound mysteries."

"Very good. Watch me demonstrate the new marksmanship. These next few days, you'll have to work hard and catch up on all the lessons you missed this year."

"I wouldn't dare, I'd really appreciate it if you could go to all that trouble, teacher."

"Enough with the nagging! Watch carefully!"

……

Time flies, and another four months have passed.

In the spaceship's small bar, Jiang Zhe and Luo Feng sat side by side on high stools next to the bar, while Orianna was at the bar opposite them, mixing drinks for the two of them.

Jiang Zhe swirled his wine glass and asked curiously, "How's the progress lately? Have you grasped any of the mysteries of spatial laws?"

"Sigh." Luo Feng shook his head. "It's such a difficult path. I'm still far from there. Later, I changed my approach and decided to first gain a general understanding of the nine mysteries."

"Two years ago, I bought half of 'The Origin of Gold,' which cost 4000 points after the discount. I also focused half of my study on understanding the Law of Gold."

"Senior brother, is there any problem with this?"

"It's the right choice, but once we're in the initial universe, we should still prioritize the higher laws," Jiang Zhe affirmed first, then suggested.

Luo Feng felt relieved and smiled. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Once you enter the initial universe, there must be many powerful figures there. You should find a mentor as soon as possible. My advice may not be entirely correct."

Luo Feng frowned slightly. "But I already have a teacher..."

Before Jiang Zhe could say anything, Babata was already yelling in Luo Feng's consciousness, explaining the rules of apprenticeship in the universe.

When Babata learned more than two years ago that Jiang Zhe had a teacher who was close to becoming an immortal king and had been guiding him for a long time, his expression was quite interesting.

He often muttered that if his boss had been willing to humble himself and join Virtual Universe Company back then, their future would have been completely different.

Jiang Zhe deeply agreed with these words.

Once Hu Yanbo enters the virtual universe company's environment, as long as he doesn't perish, there's a real chance he could become a Venerable One.

"Your Highnesses, we will be arriving at the company's global headquarters soon," Sha Wu reminded them, urging them to prepare in advance.

The two drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp, put on their battle suits and boots, and went to the spaceship's lobby to wait.

After traversing the universe, the spaceship returned to the dark universe.

The outdoor simulation is activated, and a vast, boundless super floating continent, tens of light-years in diameter, appears in the surrounding dreamlike starry sky.

After disembarking from the spaceship and saying goodbye to Sha Wu, Jiang Zhe and his companion were picked up by attendants sent by the Nine Swords Venerable. After receiving the goods they had purchased with points along the way, the two were taken to an oval-shaped hall.

"Jiang Zhe! Luo Feng!"

"Haha, Thunder Emperor! Madman! You two have finally arrived."

"You two are truly fellow disciples. It's unimaginable what great being could have nurtured such outstanding individuals as you."

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

As soon as the two entered the hall, they were welcomed by many people.

Luo Feng went to his own circle in the Primordial Zone. Jiang Zhe saw Bo Lan waving at him, so he went over and sat down opposite Bo Lan.

……

About six hours later, everyone had arrived, and they were escorted into the primordial universe by the purple-scaled man, Nine Swords Venerable.

Traveling through the cosmic tunnel.

The feeling of time flowing erratically caused flashes of insight into the laws of nature to constantly appear in Jiang Zhe's mind.

Especially in the cultivation of the Realm of Shadows, the disorder of the flow of time is the goal pursued at its highest level!

This feeling lasted for five or six minutes before it ended, leaving Jiang Zhe slightly astonished and wanting more.

Jiang Zhe's extraordinary performance made the Nine Swords Venerable think even more highly of him, but then he suddenly thought of a certain possibility and felt uneasy.

"Sigh, such a brilliant genius should have been my right-hand man!"

Just like Luo Feng, whose talent will be fully revealed in the future, before the Nine Swords Venerable can even make a move, the meat in the pot will probably be snatched away by the Chaos City Lord.

What else can I do? Just obey my boss's orders.

"We have now entered the Initial Universe." Looking at the expectant gazes of the many geniuses and his immortal subordinates, the Nine Swords Venerable declared, "The top is open!"

The spaceship's metal top split open, revealing a transparent, glass-like outer layer through which everyone could see the outside world.

Chaotic currents drifted through the dark and desolate universe.

The distant heavens and earth would sometimes crack open, revealing a large number of strange and mysterious patterns at the edge of space. These patterns were like threads strung together, weaving the world into an ever-expanding expanse.

The Nine Swords Venerable began to introduce the situation of the initial universe to everyone.

Soon, the spaceship arrived above an ancient city. The crew filed out of the cabin and hovered in mid-air, looking down at the ancient and majestic city.

Jiang Zhe could feel a slight discomfort, which he sensed through the hidden Zhuzhao clone.

The spacetime surrounding Chaos City has been secretly controlled.

At the same time, the pronucleus hidden in the Crimson Palace of the chest trembled slightly, as if issuing a warning.

Jiang Zhe understood that the Lord of Chaos City had discovered their presence.

Inside the inner world, the towering ancient tree received a warning, its massive body swaying slightly, stirring up a gale across a landmass 1000 kilometers long and wide.

Chaotic fog from the outer perimeter of the landmass surged into the land, reducing visibility across the landmass to extremely low levels.

The City Lord's Mansion, in the courtyard of Chaos Ruins.

A man dressed in dark red battle armor, with two fiery red horns on his head and a scaled tail, was staring at the new batch of human members who had arrived in Chaos City.

"His life gene level has been elevated, and he even possesses a pronucleus?"

Our gaze penetrates deep, intruding into the ancient, pristine core.

The Chaos City Lord only saw a lifeless, dark purple earth within his body, filled with the aura of lightning-elemental energy, with no other foreign objects.

Then they searched for the soul core hidden in the protonucleus, and in the micro black hole at the center of the spiral arm galaxy, they sensed the soul aura belonging to humans.

"He is a genuine human, his soul aura is fine, and there are no signs of him being enslaved. You can raise him with peace of mind."

"Huh? This is a special ability he awakened at the planetary level, possessing a second 'inner world' that accelerates cultivation. This kid's talent is quite interesting."

"There are a few good geniuses in this batch, and one of them even possessed the body of the Golden Horned Beast, so he can be considered to have had 'above-average' luck."

The Chaos City Lord shifted his gaze from Jiang Zhe to check on the others, not considering Jiang Zhe's special situation as related to "new humans".

This is simply because his genetic level was elevated due to special circumstances. [Note 1]

It's very difficult to discern the genetic level of a species with the naked eye, unless you calculate the full power it unleashes during a fight, or obtain its flesh and blood tissue...

Therefore, as long as Jiang Zhe's flesh and blood tissue is not obtained by anyone and his direct descendants do not show any special characteristics, no one can tell that his life gene level is heritable.

……

The 11th reception envoy led Jiang Zhe and 1000 others away, introduced the situation in Chaos City, and then took them to the city lord's mansion.

Upon entering the city lord's mansion, a black-robed messenger led them to the entrance of a dreamlike corridor.

"Prepare to choose one of the 52 rubbings of the Chaos Stele. Each person can only choose one to study and comprehend. You have half an hour," the black-robed envoy said, standing at the far end of the corridor.

Luo Feng and his group went deep into the corridor and examined each painting one by one.

Jiang Zhe sent an email to Teacher Mo Bosang to inquire, and received a reply a few dozen seconds later. He pondered the advice his teacher had given him.

……

In the virtual world, on the Dream Continent, in a silver palace in the core area.

Mo Bosang entered the main hall and looked at the Realm Lord sitting at the head of the table. His face was full of respect, without the slightest perfunctory attitude.

"Uncle-Master, I have returned to report to you."

"Hmm, how has he progressed in comprehending the fundamental laws of lightning and time over the past three years?"

Sitting on a high-backed jade chair was a woman who looked very much like an Earthling, except for her skin, which was as white as jade and had palm-sized blue patterns on her slender white neck, adding a touch of mystery.

There is a silver mark between her eyebrows, which means that she is a realm lord recognized by the laws of time. If she were to advance to immortality, she would be guaranteed to be at least a marquis.

In addition, she and Mobosang seem to be of the same clan?

Below, Mo Bosang bowed his head and replied, "He has fully comprehended the fundamental mysteries of lightning and 21 kinds of the mysteries of the laws of time. I see the shadow of that grandmaster uncle in him."

"Ha, he's far from it. What you're seeing is all an illusion. He's just had better luck."

Is it talent shaped by circumstances?

Mo Bosang pondered this in his heart, remaining silent and offering no comment.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow. "Uncle-Master, he asked me which Chaos Stele to choose."

"The first choice is the Cosmic Chaos Monument, followed by Darkness, Nine Universes... these are chaos monuments that begin with the fundamental laws of time or space."

"Uncle-Master, the Cosmic Chaos Stele?"

"Yes, he'll be fine. We also have a sect leader from the Cosmic School who can teach him."

[Note 1]: Even the Lord of the Universe cannot be so powerful as to know exactly how many times your life gene level you are just by looking at you.

This can be seen in Luo Feng; the Chaos City Lord did not see through his true life gene level.

He only told the Lord of Chaos City that he was a "Black Warrior" with a 10x genetic level, but in reality, he was 6x x 10x at that time.

Later, when he was seen by the Lord of Sirius in the Ice Prison, he didn't mention anything about the level of life genes.

The idea that one can discern the genetic makeup of a life form and its inheritance at a glance is utter nonsense.

--------

I slept for thirteen or fifteen hours, and I've recovered. I'm still alive.

Stop staying up late, go to sleep, brothers, especially those 50-plus brothers who stayed up until the early hours.

I'll wait a couple more days before considering making up for the missed update; the palpitations I felt yesterday almost scared me to death.
