Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 1 Proto-nucleus!Prokaryotic!
The sky is clear and the red sun is rising.

In a nine-story alloy tower, the direct members of the Jiang family gathered together.

Today is the sixteenth birthday of Jiang Zhe, the youngest member of the third generation of the Jiang family. It is also the day when he can officially practice martial arts according to family regulations.

Martial arts practice here refers to being allowed to practice various martial arts techniques.

Before that, the main focus was on warming the body and slowly improving physical fitness, supplemented by reading the Boxing Sutra to cultivate one's mind and increase one's knowledge.

The cultivation system of this world requires physical fitness to reach a standard before becoming a martial artist, rather than asking you to exert one part of your strength to the fullest.

"Fist strength: 790kg!"

……

"Speed: 22.4m/s"

……

"Nervous reaction speed: medium!"

……

"Congratulations, Master Zhe!"

"Martial arts has just started and there is only a thin line between them and senior students. In the future, Master Zhe will definitely have a place at the God of War level!"

Butler Wu, who was responsible for presiding over the evaluation, announced the results and praised them heartily.

Only a behemoth like the Jiang family, one of the top families in Hanxia Kingdom in the HR Alliance, could the butler of the family have the confidence to say such firm words.

And the protagonist on the field - Jiang Zhe, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but clenched his fists after hearing the results, and he couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

It has been 16 years since I traveled through time.

I was born in 2030, and it is now July 2046, 7. There are still ten years before the curtain opens.

Nirvana, warrior, 2056...

Yes, this is "Swallowing Starry Sky", a high-quality world in the eyes of many travelers.

Here martial arts is the road to heaven. Almost anything you want can be achieved with super force. The understanding of laws is the backbone of martial arts. Guys with poor understanding have no way out in this world.

"At the age of sixteen, I have half a foot in the ranks as a senior student. This is a good start. How far can I go in the future?"

Jiang Zhe hesitated in his ambition.

When he thought about the vast universe described in the book, and the power of those realm lords, immortals, and venerables, he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat quicken, and just——

The pulse rises rapidly!
120...130...140...155...

180!

200!

……

The bright red numbers are skyrocketing!
A communication watch with the function of monitoring physical health emits a piercing alarm sound.

His heartbeat accelerated violently and his vision became blurry. Jiang Zhe didn't react at all.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

My heart felt like it was being beaten, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.

Under the constant expansion and contraction of the body's power source "heart", a large amount of blood surged, and an undetectable energy rushed into the depths of Jiang Zhe's mind.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from my mind——

"Ah! Ah!"

Jiang Zhe roared in pain.

He staggered two steps and tried to find something to hold on to, but he fell to the ground, curled up into a ball, and rolled on the ground holding his head in pain.

"Xiao Zhe? What's the matter?"

"Brother Zhe? Brother Zhe!"

"Headache? Is Xiaozhe about to wake up?"

"Doctor! Call the doctor!"

……

It was only a few breaths away from the onset of headache.

Jiang Zhe's eyelids were heavy, his vision went dark, and the panicked shouts of his relatives in his ears gradually became blurred.

Before he fell into coma, Jiang Zhe's only thought was -

Mental power...

Are you about to wake up?Or is it a temporary fluctuation?
Jiang Zhe is convinced that he has mental power. The unexplained headaches over the years and the unscientific increase in physical fitness after headaches are the best evidence.

Luo Feng relied on his talent as a spiritual master to gradually awaken. He joined the extreme martial arts gym at the age of sixteen and became an intermediate student.

He was stronger than Luo Feng in the early stage.

The stimulation of the body by mental power is on the one hand, but more due to the influence of the bloodline of the previous generation and the blessing of a good growth environment, which is only a thin line away from advanced students.

Jiang Zhe didn't know what his original talent was in the original timeline.

He only knows that he is special. The soul that came from time-travel is naturally strong. After being nurtured and transformed by the earth, his talent as a spiritual teacher will definitely not be bad.

……

The facts are as Jiang Zhe thought, but not what Jiang Zhe thought.

What he faced was far more dangerous than the awakening of the spiritual master's talent. In his sea of ​​​​consciousness, a "predation war" was going on.

In the boundless mysterious place, there is a huge amount of mist surging constantly. In the center of the mist is a golden ball, spinning slowly like a star.

At the same time, the golden ball continued to emit wisps of fog, causing the fog lingering in this mysterious place to increase all the time.

If Jiang Zhe looked inside at this time, he would definitely recognize that the golden ball was a solid mental force, representing his powerful mental talent.

If he looked inside for a moment longer, he would find that the emitted gaseous spiritual power did not increase, but became thinner, making the sea of ​​consciousness gradually appear empty.

Exposing the "stone ball" hidden in the mist that is constantly being swallowed.

The stone ball has a mottled surface and a simple smell. It is about the same size as a golden ball, swimming around in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Wherever it passes, the fog clears.

After sucking in the dissipated mist, it stared at the golden ball hanging in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness and slammed into it——

The imagined scene of a powerful collision did not appear.The golden ball actually disappeared, and Jiang Zhe's soul melted directly into the stone ball!
If you look at this absurd situation in conjunction with the path of cultivation, you will find that it is actually very reasonable, because it is highly similar to the state of the warrior when he breaks through the domain master!
The life core, the most important organ for practitioners of the Devouring System, appears and incorporates the soul crystal into it, forming the extremely famous "immortal body" of Domain Lord level powerhouses.

If the ancient stone ball that suddenly appeared was not a physical golden finger, it was most likely the life core carrying the soul crystal.

Or, to be more precise, "pronucleus."

……

When Jiang Zhe regained consciousness, he came to a strange world.

The place was surrounded by chaotic mist, leaving only an open space about ten meters long and wide. In the center of the open space grew an ancient tree with a diameter of more than one meter. Its vigorous branches stretched into the mist, making it impossible for him to see the huge tree. Full view of the tree canopy.

There is a stone table and bench under the tree, and a thick-backed logging ax is placed on the table.

"I only have consciousness...where is this?"

Jiang Zhe quickly figured out his situation.

Scanning the surrounding area, Jiang Zhe's consciousness suddenly paused and received information from the space here.

"Cut down trees?"

"Me? Pick up the ax on the table and chop down the tree?"

After a slight shock, the memory that had been buried for 16 years was gradually awakened. Jiang Zhe probably guessed what was going on.

"The plug-in has arrived..."

This all starts with his death-seeking habit before time travel.

Late that night after get off work, I was soaking my feet in front of the computer desk. My phone was connected to the power strip and I was trying to play a mini-program game recommended by my browser. When I bent over to heat the water, I pulled the charging cable. I pulled the power strip off the table and fell into the washing machine. In the footbath...

The past is too painful to look back on, and if it weren't for the keyword "cutting down trees", Jiang Zhe still wouldn't be able to connect with him.

"Chopping down trees" - that's how that mini program game is played.

Before time travel, as long as you surfed the Internet, it was impossible not to see the advertisement of that mini program game - reincarnation, choose the identity of a monster to start, chop down trees to drop treasures, cultivate immortals and overcome tribulations, known as "one ax to chop down a thousand-year-old tree, one step" Climb to the top of the road to cultivate immortality"...

Jiang Zhe's eyes darkened: "Even if you travel through time, you can't get rid of the control of this advertisement. The bad game has followed and will attack in the form of a golden finger."

"Forget it, at least there is a plug-in, as long as it works, let's try it first."

Jiang Zhe has no physical body, but his consciousness wanders in this space, so he wants to try to use his mind to control an ax to chop down trees.

It failed.

"Do I have to find a way to get my body here? But how can I go back now?"

As soon as the thought came up, Jiang Zhe felt that his consciousness was heavy and falling rapidly, as if he was falling off a cliff.

With a flash of energy, his five senses were restored.

A lot of external information is pouring in.

The faint smell of disinfectant; the feeling of fluidity in the veins on the back of the hand; the sound of anxious pacing; the worried whispers in a deliberately lowered voice...

Jiang Zhe opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling. He was lying on the bed in his bedroom, with a hanging bottle hanging on his right hand. There were many people crowded in the bedroom.

The most eye-catching thing was a young man who looked like a black bear. He was pacing back and forth in the room in a hurry. His two-meter-long figure was so big that Jiang Zhe was a little dizzy.

"I'm getting up. I saw the black bear spirit enter the house and steal the cassock. Let's sleep a little longer."

Talking about his second brother Jiang Wu, Jiang Zhe didn't really lie down to sleep for a while. He sat up from the bed and pulled out the needle on the back of his hand.

Jiang Wu suddenly turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Jiang Zhe on the bed, who was pulling out the needle, his drum-like voice roared excitedly.

"Wake up! Wake up! Xiaozhe wakes up!"

My sister-in-law and cousin hurriedly gathered around the bed.

Jiang Wu also wanted to squeeze over, but his sister pushed him away in disgust. He scratched his head naively and stood against the wall with a gentle and elegant young man with glasses.

Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, the eldest and second child of the three generations of the Jiang family.

Jiang Wen is a very elegant man, he is a gentle young man with glasses, his focus is on business, and he is undoubtedly the future head of the Jiang family.

Jiang Wu is very martial, an intermediate warrior who is only 23 years old, and has already obtained a place in the elite training camp of Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School.

Cousin Jiang Sisi, a short-haired woman with a dashing temperament and the strength of a high-level warrior, was asking Jiang Zhe's physical condition in a low voice.

Wenwu Sizhe is a member of all three generations of the Jiang family, and their names are very clan-specific.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. This has happened twice before. We all know that this is a good thing, not a bad thing."

Jiang Zhe patiently responded to the concerns of his sister-in-law and cousin.

When he was a child, he had a dull headache almost every day. After ruling out the disease factors, it was determined that he had considerable talent as a spiritual teacher.

Spiritual masters, a special group that is different from warriors, are not mysterious in the eyes of top aristocratic families like the Jiang family.

Sister-in-law Jiang Chengcheng rolled her eyes at him and said with some resentment: "How can we not worry? If you fail to awaken, you may become a fool, a vegetative state, or even bleed to death!"

"We are not as caring as that mother. We just came over to take a look, and then ran out to play mahjong. Those who didn't know better thought you were her stepson."

Jiang Zhe smiled helplessly and did not answer the call.

My mother is indeed rough and unreliable;
It's true that her sister-in-law Jiang Chengcheng doesn't deal with her. He gives her eye drops when he has time. It's really hard for him to get involved.

Jiang Sisi on the side quickly gave her brother a wink.

The black bear-like Jiang Wu has a good inner talent. After understanding the meaning, he changed the subject and said: "Xiao Zhe, are you fully awakened this time?"

Jiang Zhe was stunned for a moment, then turned to stare at the ornaments on the desk, trying to sense the power of his mind, trying to control objects, and looking inside the sea of ​​consciousness...

As a result, I was holding back a small amount of sweat on my forehead, but I still didn't see any reaction.

There is no awakening, no mental power.

Moreover, he has not yet cultivated his genetic power, and without the pull of cosmic energy, he cannot yet see inside.

But Jiang Zhe was stunned and made a surprising new discovery.

Got a rock stuck in your head?

It was an ancient stone ball that stayed in his mind and would move around the body with his thoughts, between the eyebrows, ear canals, throat, navel, soles of the feet... and finally stopped at Jianggong's chest. The position seems to be only millimeters in size.

This seems to be a pronucleus?

Is this a physical structure I can have?
Wait, the life structure of the golden-horned giant beast is actually not that strange. It just possesses the life characteristics of a domain lord and a world lord in advance, which every warrior will eventually possess as their life level increases.

It is not too unbelievable to be the lucky person who has a "life core" in advance.

"So... the space I just went to is the inner world in the original nucleus?"
