Immortal-level Talent! Fire God Clone!

Jiang Ming stared dazedly at the massive star before him, still unable to believe it.

Along the way, he had experienced several hallucinations, mistaking other massive Realm Lord stars for Immortal-level Talent Stars.

Now, as he looked at this Talent Star, more than ten thousand times larger than a stellar body,

Jiang Ming was unsure whether his hallucinations had worsened or whether he had truly succeeded.

Only after a long while did Jiang Ming step forward again.

I really did it.

Arriving at the Talent Star's surface, Jiang Ming forced out a stiff smile.

His will was now at the very brink of collapse.

Even though he had truly achieved what he had always persisted in pursuing, he did not feel much inside.

He reached out and pressed his hand against the star's surface.

After a flash of silver light, Jiang Ming's consciousness reappeared in the real world.

"Whew... I'm back."

After returning to the real world, his will, which had already reached its breaking point, began recovering rapidly.

"Only a few seconds have passed?"

Jiang Ming sensed the flow of time inside the awakening space and outside, making his judgment inwardly.

After entering the Talent Awakening Space, time outside did not completely stop, and the mental energy consumed within the Talent Awakening Space would not be instantly replenished upon returning.

That was why Jiang Ming had never considered entering the Talent Awakening Space immediately after breaking through without a battle.

But none of that mattered. In Swallowed Star, who could regularly break through major realms in battle anyway?

"Let's take a look at my new talent. I hope it won't disappoint me."

Jiang Ming thought to himself.

Talents of the same grade were not all alike.

The randomness of talents was simply too great. Some heaven-defying talents were not ranked particularly high, yet their effects were unbelievably powerful, enough to make even the Universe's Strongest envious.

Then there were talents with extremely high grades whose effects were relatively ordinary.

Just then, flames appeared out of nowhere around Jiang Ming.

The moment the flames appeared, they began crazily devouring all the surrounding heat. Even Jiang Ming's own body temperature began to drop.

The energy stored within him by his Son of the Sun state was also flowing into that ball of flame.

The instant Jiang Ming saw the flame, he understood his new talent.

Immortal-level Talent—Fire God Clone!

It could condense a Fire God clone with a Gene Multiplier of one hundred times his Body Gene. This clone possessed extremely high talent in the Flame Law and Space Laws.

It would be born at the Universe level and, given time to grow, could reach the Immortal level upon adulthood.

A clone that could easily reach the Immortal level!

That meant Jiang Ming had already obtained a ticket to the Immortal level!

As long as he had enough time to grow, Jiang Ming could easily reach the Immortal level!

"As expected of an Immortal-level Talent! Hahahahaha!"

Jiang Ming laughed wildly inwardly. He had just obtained a ticket to immortality.

Once he became an Immortal-level Expert, his life would be limitless. So long as the Primeval Universe remained undestroyed, he would never need to worry about lifespan again.

At that moment, Jiang Ming's body underwent another transformation. Feeling this familiar change, he came to a realization.

"My genetic level has increased."

Jiang Ming compared the ever-rising strength throughout his body.

"This time, it's thirty times my Body Gene level!"

His Gene Multiplier soared, and even Jiang Ming's originally severe injuries healed by more than half.

"I now have thirty-three times the Body Gene. Even without relying on Talent Secret Techniques, I'm unquestionably the strongest person on Earth."

Comparing the power within his body, Jiang Ming thought to himself.

"But isn't there something wrong with this fire?"

After his initial excitement, Jiang Ming realized that the flame before him was far too small.

"It needs to grow to the size of an adult before it can be born. At this rate, won't it take several hundred years to nurture?"

Jiang Ming sensed the flame's rate of development and made his judgment inwardly.

"Is it because there isn't enough energy?"

Jiang Ming guessed inwardly.

For an existence born at the Universe level, being nurtured in an environment like Earth and taking only a few hundred years to emerge—what more could he ask for?

That was already an incredibly heaven-defying rate of development.

"Others might be able to accept that, but it's too long for me."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming rose to his feet and looked toward the sky.

His gaze fixed directly on that dazzling star.

"Looks like I need to find a spaceship capable of approaching the sun."

Jiang Ming had actually considered this idea long ago.

The best place for his Stellar Body to grow was inside a stellar body.

If he stayed within one, his growth speed would be extremely fast.

Perhaps he could reach the Domain Lord level in ten thousand years.

Previously, Jiang Ming had lacked the strength. What kind of joke was it for a mere apprentice-level kid to try landing on a stellar body?

But now that Jiang Ming was at the Planetary level, it was no longer impossible.

The temperature of a stellar body posed no problem for Jiang Ming. The only troublesome part was obtaining a spaceship capable of approaching one.

"I'll contact Hall Master. Maybe he has a way."

Jiang Ming shot into the air. A King-class fighter jet emerged from the clouds.

During the previous battle, everything on Jiang Ming's body had been incinerated, including the combat saber forged from King-level material.

Naturally, his communicator had not been spared.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming's King-class fighter jet had been extremely far from the battlefield. Though it had been slightly affected, it had not sustained any damage.

The hatch opened, and Jiang Ming entered the fighter jet.

He first found a golden red combat uniform in the changing room and put it on before heading to the cockpit.

"Help me contact Hall Master."

The call connected quickly, and Hong's projection appeared before Jiang Ming.

"Hall Master."

"What do you need from me?"

Hong asked curiously.

They had only parted ways a short while ago. Jiang Ming contacting him now was probably not for casual chat.

"Hall Master should have some guesses about my abilities, right?"

Jiang Ming asked directly.

After witnessing Jiang Ming's battle with the Demon Lizard King, anyone who was not an idiot could infer something about his Stellar Body's abilities.

The only question was how much they had guessed.

"Yes, I have made some guesses."

Since Jiang Ming had brought it up himself, Hong did not hide it. He had indeed figured out some of Jiang Ming's abilities.

"To be honest, my ability is to absorb thermal radiation to increase my strength."

Jiang Ming stated it plainly.

Hong was not surprised by this. It had already been obvious.

"So, I want to make a deal with Hall Master—or rather, cooperate."

Jiang Ming continued.

Hearing this, Hong immediately straightened up before speaking.

"Go on."

"I want Hall Master to help me find a spaceship that can approach the sun. It doesn't need to get too close; it just needs to shorten my travel time.

And once I break through to the Stellar level, I'll help Hall Master sweep away the world's monsters and reclaim all human territory."

Jiang Ming's words struck Hong's heart like a heavy hammer.

Sweep away the world's monsters? Reclaim all human territory?

Ever since the Great Nirvana Period began, Hong had been striving toward that very goal.

He also believed that he would achieve it sooner or later.

But he had never imagined that one day, a young man would stand before him and tell him,

Leave it to me. I'll do it.

Hong's Heart Realm stirred slightly at that moment, but he did not doubt Jiang Ming's words.

"Good! Leave it to me."

Hong's voice was as steady and forceful as ever. Though he had known this young man for only a short time,

Hong had long since reviewed every detail of Jiang Ming's sixteen years of life, over and over again.

He believed in this young man.

The call ended, and Jiang Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hall Master really does have a way. Now I just need to wait for his news."
