Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 417 I am all living beings, I am the world!

Jiang Zhe came to a peculiar square. The sky and even the edge of the square were all white, as if surrounded by clouds and mist. Directly in front of him, there were five towering stone pillars on each side, like tall guards lined up to protect him.

Continuing forward, there is a flight of stairs leading upwards, on which are arranged ten majestic high-backed stone chairs in a fan shape.

There are different fine carvings on the back of the chair, exuding a strong meaning of laws.

Jiang Zhe's first glance was fixed on the carvings on the backs of the two stone chairs in the center.

One was a dark black hole that he was very familiar with;

One is an endlessly winding dragon with twenty-four claws, and the rest is blurry.

'Destruction! In its place is... Life!'

'The remaining eight stone chairs correspond to time, space, darkness, light, earth, fire, water, and wind. I guess I'm here to see the Ten Great Gods?'

Jiang Zhe was speculating in his mind.

Sure enough, as Jiang Zhe took his position, the ten great gods appeared one after another.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh...

Among the ten eternal true gods sitting on the stone chairs, Jiang Zhe found several "familiar faces" among them... Lord Jiang Xing and Lord Ku Ming who presided over the disciple assessment; Lord Fen Lun, the manager of Liufeng Valley; Lord Chong'a, the manager of Chongluan Mountain; Lord Yinxia, the manager of Shanjun Tower.

"Core disciple, Zhe, greets all the gods!"

Jiang Zhe was about to salute, but he failed to bend his waist slightly as he was held up by a powerful divine force.

"No need to be polite. You and I are both core disciples. You have also thoroughly understood the source of the law. It is easy for you to reach our level. Just call us senior brother and senior sister."

"By the way, my name is Black Crow. I will be fully responsible for all matters related to the 'World Inheritor' assessment you are taking."

The god who was speaking was sitting on a chair that Jiang Zhe was familiar with. He was the eternal true god representing "destruction".

This man had a handsome face. Apart from the ink-colored divine patterns on both sides of his cheeks and the closed vertical eye between his eyebrows, he looked almost like an Earthling. He wore a black robe, and the thick ink-black color seemed to permeate into the void, forming a faint black mist that lingered on his body.

The Black Crow God stood up from the high-backed stone chair, walked slowly down the steps, and came in front of Jiang Zhe.

"Zhe, before the assessment begins, you still have a chance to regret, and because you have triggered the 'World Conqueror' mission, you can completely choose this path that is safer for you and become the master of the 'Liufeng World'."

"Instead of accepting the test and risking your life."

"Safe? Gambling with life?" Jiang Zhe whispered doubtfully and cast a look at the Black Crow Lord eager for an answer.

The Black Crow Lord did not keep the suspense and continued.

"Of course, the so-called safety only applies to you.

You possess incredible concealment skills, powerful will attack skills combined with the will of the Chaos Realm. You can completely wipe out 60% of the highest combat power of the remaining nine original insect nests and get the reward.

For you, the only difficulty in taking the 'World Conqueror' mission and becoming the Lord of the World is whether your understanding is enough to support you in understanding the source of the six great laws, rather than a life-and-death crisis. "

The conversation turned.

"On the other hand, in the mission of 'World Inheritor', you need to 'see all living beings' during the assessment. Seeing all living beings in the 'Liufeng World' requires extremely high levels of soul, will, and state of mind!

And there will definitely be all kinds of unexpected things in the assessment that I can't predict... I haven't experienced it, so I can't describe it to you accurately.

In short, if you participate in the 'World Inheritor' assessment, the probability of you dying during the assessment is very high."

The Black Crow Lord sighed softly: "Both paths can lead to becoming the Lord of the World. It's up to you to decide which one to choose."

Things had come to this point, and Black Crow Lord said that he didn't understand either, so Jiang Zhe didn't ask any more questions and just kept thinking about it.

See all living beings?

Weird, why do I feel like I've seen this once before?

That’s the time when I tampered with the underlying rules of the fantasy world, so that should count, right?

Testing the soul, will and state of mind, these are exactly what I am best at. Do you want to take a risk?

Or should you choose to clear out the five original insect nests, slowly hone your understanding, take the steady path of "conqueror", and eventually become the "Lord of the World"?

"Brother Black Crow, what is the difference between being a 'Conqueror' or a 'Heir'? Or, to put it more bluntly, will the benefits I gain be different?"

Lord Black Crow looked at Jiang Zhe deeply, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. First, if you hadn't triggered the 'Conqueror' series of tasks, none of us would have known that there was such a path. Second, as for the rewards after completing the two tasks, we only know that you will become the master of the 'Flowing Wind World', that's all."

"Brother Black Crow, which path do you recommend me to choose?"

"May I recommend?"

The handsome Eternal True God in black robe suddenly laughed.

"Zhe, you are the inheritor sent by the mountain spirit, you must know the nature of this world.

I am not afraid to tell you clearly that all 10 of us have selfish motives. The more securely you become the master of the world, the greater the benefit to us.

If you die on the way to becoming the master of the world, causing the "Liufeng World" to restart, we will be buried with you... Of course, there will be ten great gods who will be reborn in the future, but they are us and not us.

So, if you ask me to recommend something, I would definitely prefer you to choose the "Conqueror" series of tasks. It's better to bet on your understanding than on your life!"

Jiang Zhe nodded slightly. Although he was asking for advice, he actually already had a preference in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after a pause, Lord Black Crow said, "But from your own perspective, if you are not afraid of life and death and want to maximize possible benefits, you should choose the path of 'Inheritor'."

"What?" Jiang Zhe was surprised. "Brother, why?"

"Hidden things are not necessarily good. The creator of the world hides them because he probably doesn't want you to take this path. And the widely publicized inheritance path recorded in the confidential building may be more favored by the creator of the world after it is completed."

Jiang Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly; these words touched his heart.

That’s right, when asking Lord Black Crow, Jiang Zhe was already more inclined to accept the assessment of “World Inheritor” in his heart.

"Brother, I have decided to continue to accept the assessment."

"Hmm? It seems like you already had a plan in mind, and you deliberately made me waste my breath."

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly embarrassedly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the World Temple."

Before he finished speaking, Black Crow God waved his sleeves and teleported Jiang Zhe away with his divine power.

……

World Temple.

The name sounds grand, but to Jiang Zhe's surprise, the internal layout is not that grand.

It was like an ordinary meditation room, completely empty.

There are colorful murals on the surrounding walls, as if the entire scene of the "Liufeng World" is painted on them.

There were no extra decorations, but there was a rattan cushion in the middle of the room, facing a transparent crystal column that seemed to be supporting the room, and inside the crystal column was a dreamlike seed.

When I saw the sealed dreamlike seed, I felt a strong rush of desire, joy, anger, sorrow, resentment, hatred, fear...

In addition, in the trance of being overwhelmed by desire, Jiang Zhe seemed to see familiar faces, Yuan, Yuan's father Ling Falcon, the two brothers Yan Qing and Yan Huan and their team members, Kunyang Jun, Pi Luo Jun, Yan Mo Jun, Ying Luo Jun... He felt their joy and relief, or their regrets, or their grief and resentment before death...

Relying on the "emotional side" talent brought by mastering "Chapter of Sin" and the strong will of the Chaos Realm, Jiang Zhe withstood the impact of chaotic emotions, cleverly eliminated the subsequent impact, and woke up.

"That's right. You were only in a trance for a moment and quickly came to your senses. I think there is a great chance that you can complete the assessment." Black Crow Lord praised.

Jiang Zhe smiled politely and asked, "Brother, would you like to sit on the cushion and take the test?"

"That's right. You sit on the futon and infiltrate the divine power into the crystal column. Once it touches the seed, the assessment of 'World Inheritor' will begin."

"Brother, I'm coming."

Jiang Zhe walked towards the cushion decisively, but was stopped by the Black Crow Lord.

"Wait, you still have a chance to regret now. Once the inheritance begins, it's really a matter of life and death."

"Better to gamble on your understanding than to gamble on your life!"

"Brother, I like to challenge difficult things, so let's go this way."

Without even turning his head, Jiang Zhe waved to the Black Crow God behind him, sat on the cushion, and released his divine power towards the crystal column, which seeped into it and came into contact with the dreamlike seed.

boom!

A strong suction force burst out from the seed, pulling Jiang Zhe's consciousness in along the divine power, making him unable to resist.

A familiar feeling came over him, and his consciousness drifted away, once again merging into the "Flowing Wind World", becoming a part of the illusion world. His shattered consciousness was evenly attached to all living beings in the world.

……

"Zhe has entered the "Liu Chong Mountain". In just less than two eras, his progress is incredible. It is worthy of being a legendary place! I have made up my mind. I will try to enter and practice for a while. When I can escape from the tribe's true god, I will set off!"

……

"The two treasures that Zhe brought back are really powerful. The secret patterns inside are extremely complex. After a while of contemplation, I feel that my understanding of the laws will be enough to promote the evolution of the small universe and ascend to the True God of the Void... Work hard, and when I break through, the tribe will be completely safe."

……

"It's over! The Nightmare Tribe is completely finished! The two great ancestors are dead!"

"Damn it! Without a Void-level force in charge, we, the True Gods and Lords of Law, will be the favorites of the slave-hunting groups. We will become slaves and lose our freedom completely. The unlucky ones may even be sent to the underground world to be cannon fodder... Escape! We must escape! We must find a force to join and seek shelter."

……

"Oh, I regret it so much! If I had known this elite disciple was so capable, I would have invited him to help clear out the insect nest. I missed out on a lot of contribution points in vain!"

……

"That terrifying cultivator seems to have left? We can take back our homeland."

……

"He finally chose to gamble his life. I hope he can succeed. I really want to move from fantasy to reality!"

……

"Boy, you must succeed! If you fail with your qualifications, then I'm afraid only the reincarnation of the God King can pass the test."

……

For a moment, countless distracting thoughts invaded Jiang Zhe's consciousness.

At this moment, Jiang Zhe seemed to have become all living beings in the world.

No, to be more precise, it seems that all living beings in the world are his split personalities.

"I understand. The ultimate requirement of the assessment is to make all living beings in the world recognize me!"

"Or, to put it more bluntly, let them all submit to me, believe in me, and become my slaves! Or, considering that this is a fantasy world, why not turn them all into me? All living beings in the world are me, so wouldn't I be the master of the world?"

"I remember now! I understand everything now!"

"What do you mean by conqueror and inheritor? Aren't these two ways to become a world-class Hunyuan life? Using the "Liufeng World" as a benchmark against the Source World, a simulation of mastering the supreme rules was conducted!"

"Conqueror, corresponding to controlling more than half of the source world's origin, thereby controlling the highest rules... In terms of the "Flowing Wind World", the origin of the illusion world is the source of the ten major laws, so if you comprehend six of them, you can become the master of the world."

"The inheritor is responsible for spreading faith and making all living beings believe in him. If most of the living beings in a source world believe in one person, the will of the source world will also be affected. They believe in this person and thus control the supreme rules... In the case of the "Liufeng World", this is what I am experiencing now. My consciousness is attached to all living beings in the world, making them recognize me!"

"My state of mind is just right for cultivation—"

His thoughts stopped abruptly.

With a little bit of encouragement, Jiang Zhe was able to maintain a clear consciousness for a short time and thought so much.

Finally, he reached his limit and could not bear it anymore. His consciousness was drowned out by the consciousness of all living beings in the world and he fell silent.

The assessment has entered the most dangerous stage.

Jiang Zhe seemed to be suffering from multiple personality disorder. If he could not maintain his own identity among the endless personalities of all living beings and make the other personalities recognize him, then... the assessment would fail, Jiang Zhe would be lost and fall!

……

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhe had been sitting in the World Temple for more than 3 epochs.

One day, all the ten gods gathered here and surrounded Jiang Zhe, sighing and frowning.

The Black Crow Lord broke the silence and sighed helplessly, "His consciousness is getting weaker and weaker. Even we can hardly sense it. He has reached his final moment and is about to die... What a pity that such a monster is buried in falsehood! Sigh, you might as well listen to me. It's better to bet on your understanding than on your life."

The other gods were about to speak in agreement, but suddenly, they all looked dazed.

At this moment, Jiang Zhe, who was surrounded by them, completely lost all consciousness in his body.

ended?

"it is finally over."

A flamboyant smile appeared on the face of the Black Crow Lord, which was totally inconsistent with his personality.

The Black Crow Lord raised his lips and said, "I am Jiang Zhe!"

The moment the words fell, it seemed as if this action was contagious. The gods around him all smiled and repeated them.

"I'm Jiang Zhe!"

……

From Liuchong Mountain to the entire Liufeng world, all living beings were shouting the man's name.

"Jiang Zhe!"

……
