Swallowing the Stars: Reboot, The Eternal Serpent!

Chapter 92 The Choice!

Mo Bosang didn't know much about the matter and didn't want to get involved in those complicated details.

He only knew that Jiang Zhe was very talented and polite, and he wanted to do his best to teach him well.

Talent is not static; even if it is created by certain circumstances, it is still a genuine talent.

With Jiang Zhe's current talent, as long as he doesn't perish along the way, he's guaranteed to become a Time Venerable, and there might even be a slim chance that he can, like another grandmaster, completely rise to the top of the clan.

If it really works out, he will naturally get a share of the credit. Just thinking about it makes my heart burn with excitement. He will definitely be rewarded with fame and honor.

After sending the appropriate Chaos Monument option to Jiang Zhe, Mo Bosang left the Silver Palace and returned to his manor in the Primitive District.

Even if Jiang Zhe passes through the third level of the Tongtian Bridge and takes on a new teacher, he will stay in the manor to continue teaching "Yun Ting Secret Records" until Jiang Zhe masters the secret of fusing the dual fundamental laws of lightning and time.

After Mo Bosang left, the female realm master switched consciousness and descended into her own clone.

Inside the majestic hall sat a colossal beast hundreds of kilometers tall, its gaze sweeping down to find the inconspicuous little creature on the floor.

Sensing the gaze, the silver-clad primordial spirit awoke from its reverie, looked up, and asked, "Boss, is something wrong?"

A husky female voice asked, "From the very beginning, you've been trying to comprehend the mysteries of the fundamental laws, haven't you?"

Chaotic currents surged within the main hall, and the colossal figure of a giant beast emerged from the mist, scratching its head with its short forepaws, displaying its endearing clumsiness.

"Boss, I've been thinking that my foundation is already weak. I've only grasped 60% of the mysteries of the laws, which is barely acceptable among realm lords. I don't want to bring shame to the Starry Sky Beasts and my Hill and Valley Beast lineage. I want to fully comprehend the fundamental mysteries of the two original laws and become one of the top realm lords."

"Heh, whatever." The husky female voice chuckled softly. "How's the progress now?"

"Progress? It should be alright, right? I've grasped 40 of the profound principles of the Earth Origin Law and 13 of the basic principles of the Space Origin Law."

"Hmm, not bad, you can continue."

Then, the Destroyer Beast closed its eyes and ignored the silver-clad primordial spirit.

Chaotic energy surged again in the main hall, and the figure of the silver-clad primordial spirit reappeared, landing before the two book-like secret manuals to continue comprehending the fundamental laws.

Compared to the original body, his conditions for comprehending the laws were much more difficult, and he didn't have much auxiliary information.

……

Chaos City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Jiang Zhe received a reply from Mo Bosang, and the email did not specify which Chaos Stele, which relieved him.

Furthermore, the Chaos Monument options recommended in the email perfectly aligned with his own ideas.

Jiang Zhe first saw the Nine Universes Chaos Stele and started with the fundamental laws of space. The first picture, "Raindrop Picture," held no secrets for him, and his understanding of the second picture, "Drizzle Picture," was also quite satisfactory...

This Chaos Stele was also among Professor Mobosang's recommendations, but he definitely wouldn't choose it.

The fundamental laws of space are handled by the silver-clad primordial spirit, so he doesn't need to be distracted by comprehending them.

Next, Jiang Zhe found the Dark Chaos Stele.

The entire rubbing had a magical power that stirred up the lazy tendencies in his body, making him completely unwilling to move, and strange black light flickered before his eyes, making him drowsy.

Jiang Zhe shook his head, breaking free from that strange state.

He concluded that this was a Chaos Monument that started with the fundamental law of time and later incorporated the complete fundamental law of light, belonging to the illusion school.

This is clearly inappropriate.

It's too different from my own path; choosing "Darkness" is not as good as choosing "Nine Universes".

Finally, Jiang Zhe found the Cosmic Chaos Monument. Bo Lan had already found this place and had been staying there for an unknown period of time.

Jiang Zhe's gaze was drawn to the contents of the rubbing, and an interested smile appeared on his face.

Half an hour later, the group was summoned back to the corridor entrance by the black-robed messenger to register their respective choices of the Chaos Monument.

"I choose the 'Mother Ancestor Chaos Stele'!"

"I choose the Heavenly Ruins Chaos Stele!"

……

"I choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'!"

Jiang Zhe announced his choice, and the black-robed envoy glanced at him again. The difficulty of the "Cosmic Chaos Monument" was extremely well-known.

"I also choose 'The Cosmic Chaos Monument'!"

Bolan stood behind Jiang Zhe and announced his choice, his eyes burning with fighting spirit as he looked at the figure in dark purple armor in front of him.

"This will be a long battle, and I will not always be inferior to you," the white-clad youth carrying the blood-stained sword thought stubbornly.

……

"I choose the Nine Universes Chaos Stele."

With a firm gaze, Luo Feng announced his choice: to abandon the familiar fundamental law of metal and embrace the fundamental law of space, which holds a higher purpose.

……

After the recording was completed, the black-robed envoy led everyone deep into the corridor, arriving at a vast training ground tens of kilometers long and wide, and directed them to their respective Chaos Stele meditation chambers.

The Cosmic Chaos Monument is currently undeciphered.

After greeting Luo Feng, Jiang Zhe and Bo Lan transformed into streaks of light and left, entering an entrance nearly thirty meters high on the left side of the end of the training ground.

It is another spacious corridor with tall bronze gates on both sides, about 160 meters wide and 120 meters high, with ancient characters on the gates.

Finally, Jiang Zhe and Bo Lan stopped in front of the bronze gate marked "Universe". After greeting the kind-looking three-eyed old man, Candri, in front of the gate, they entered the secret room.

This Chaos Stele is over a hundred meters high and nearly a hundred meters wide. It has ten pictures on it, and the word "Universe" is written on the side edge in the universal language.

Each painting is the same as the ones you see outside, but with a unique charm.

The first three pictures depict a scene of yin and yang chasing each other, similar to the "Tai Chi diagram".

The first picture has 18 scattered engravings, 9 on the left and 9 on the right, clearly defined, resembling a "yin-yang fish" chasing each other.

The second picture has a total of 72 marks, 36 on the left and 36 on the right, in the same situation as above, except that there are more marks forming the two "yin-yang fish".

The third picture shows a dense array of 216 engravings, 108 on the left and 108 on the right, in the same situation as above.

Looking at the three "Yin-Yang diagrams" as a whole, Jiang Zhe discovered something very interesting.

Different perspectives lead to different insights.

—From the perspective of the laws of time, it becomes clear that the mysterious half of the foundation of time drives the rotation of the entire "yin-yang fish".

—From the perspective of spatial laws, it represents the half that represents the fundamental mystery of space, driving the rotation of the entire "yin-yang fish".

—If one comprehends the laws of time and space in tandem, they complement each other, and the "Yin-Yang diagram" spins faster and faster, eventually evolving into a vortex that devours everything.

In the fourth image, the 216 engravings transform into planets of varying sizes, scattered across the cosmos.

Although seemingly random, the seemingly disparate planetary combinations can reveal entirely different mysteries.

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

Jiang Zhe sensed something; starting with this picture, the difficulty of comprehending it increased dramatically!

Because it has a great many system combinations.

It contains a system combination that contains the fundamental mysteries of the laws of time, a system combination that contains the fundamental mysteries of the laws of space, and even a system combination that contains the fundamental mysteries of two schools.

In the fifth image, two superstars appear in the planetary cluster, with numerous planets orbiting around them, once again becoming orderly and clearly defined.

The sixth picture shows two superstars colliding inexplicably, turning into an expanding and exploding supernova, ejecting an infinite amount of matter that is impossible to count.

The seventh image shows a giant vortex appearing in the universe.

Jiang Zhe felt that this vortex was like both time and space, but without a doubt, it definitely represented the complete rules of time and space.

This image corresponds to the realm of the Time/Space Venerable.

The eighth image depicts a dreamlike vortex spinning and devouring the endless matter in the galaxy.

The ninth image shows a singularity being born inside the vortex.

The tenth image is no longer a dreamlike vortex adorned with stars, but a real black hole that swallows everything, obscure and difficult to understand.

Jiang Zhe didn't care that he couldn't understand the rest, since he couldn't possibly cultivate a Chaos Stele step by step to the end anyway.

Leaving aside the possibility of switching to the path of the Beast God and comprehending the mysteries of the laws of fusion, the upper limit of that scroll of "Thunder God's Record" alone is higher than any Chaos Stele in the City Lord's Mansion.

Gathering his scattered thoughts, Jiang Zhe began to examine the first picture.

That's right, he has indeed comprehended the profound mysteries of the nine fundamental laws of time and space.

However, the first nine mysteries form a whole with a unique way of operating. Without understanding this, the so-called "comprehension" is flawed.

Jiang Zhe's entire mind was completely immersed in it, comprehending the mysteries of the laws of time.

The silver-clad primordial spirit no longer delved into the dry, esoteric texts. Half of its consciousness remained at the origin of the universe, providing wives for its brothers; the other half connected with its true self, watching the cosmic chaos monument expound on the fundamental laws of space.

Within the primordial core, in the inner world, the Primordial Umbrella hangs high on an ancient tree.

Within the unique space naturally created inside the umbrella, a "constant star" with a diameter of 11 kilometers hangs high, radiating enlightening light outwards.

It can influence the surrounding time and space through "light," achieving the same power as the World Tree in controlling time and space.

Relying on its high affinity with the fundamental laws of time and space, the Candlelight clone is simultaneously comprehending the dual superior fundamental laws, following the most orthodox path of comprehension of the Cosmic Chaos Monument.

……

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

The bronze gate opened, and Kander awakened the two who were still immersed in it.

When Jiang Zhe reached the door of the secret chamber, he glanced back at the Cosmic Chaos Monument, his face still showing a hint of lingering satisfaction.

Berlan exhibited the same behavior.

After being reminded by Kandri to find a place to stay, the two logged into the virtual universe and applied to enter the "Bridge to Heaven" before leaving the city lord's mansion.

At the entrance of the city lord's mansion, Jiang Zhe and Bo Lan exchanged a few words of blessing before parting ways.

During the seven days he spent studying the Chaos Stele, Teacher Mobosang sent another email, having already selected several residences for him.

"I've received word that you've chosen the Cosmic Chaos Monument. However, in my vision, you'll likely follow a path that prioritizes time and uses space as a secondary element."

"Therefore, I will first recommend two cultivation residences with inscriptions of the fundamental laws of time."

"First, cultivation residence number 0150109473. This was the former residence of the 'Shadow King,' and is now used by the 'Dark School.' I've already given instructions; if you're interested, feel free to occupy it."

"Second, cultivation residence number 0231267442. This is the former cultivation residence of Yun Tingwang, the author of 'Yun Ting Secret Records,' and it also belongs to the 'Dark School.' You can just occupy it directly."

"If you want to choose a cultivation residence with an authentic inscription of the 'Cosmic School,' the four rooms numbered 0056786243... are all suitable. You can choose for yourself."

The email was very detailed, and Jiang Zhe felt a warm current flow through his heart.

Despite his effeminate appearance, Teacher Mo Bosang seems difficult to get along with, but he actually has a very kind personality and has always taught him wholeheartedly, even helping to arrange small things like choosing a place to cultivate.

This also shows that Professor Mo Bosang has a really powerful background.

A near-immortal king can make a deal with a sect and allow outsiders to occupy their cultivation residences.

In the end, Jiang Zhe still chose the residence of the "Cosmic School" because he and the silver-clad primordial spirit could comprehend the inscriptions on the rooftop.

After settling on his residence, Jiang Zhe thought to himself, "In this advanced virtual universe, I've long heard of the Tongtian Bridge."
