The Materialist Solar Sword Soul was dissipating into the cold, dark universe.
How could I change this?
Jiang Ding calmly admired the beautiful sight of his own death and pondered the question.
A breakthrough of the sword soul would have to come through Law Annihilation.
He had found the direction, but he did not know how to reach it.
This would not be a breakthrough won through battle and slaughter. He would use his own soul as experimental material, conduct experiment after experiment, and finally arrive at the correct result.
If he succeeded, he would live and return home.
If he failed, he would die.
Jiang Ding watched constantly as his soul and magical power gradually dissipated.
He recorded one piece of precious data after another and fed them into the vast sword-soul breakthrough model he had already built in his sea of consciousness with the Central Array-Spirit Computer. There, he ran endless calculations in search of a viable path.
This continued for nearly a thousand years.
One day, the space before Jiang Ding suddenly flickered. The flow of time grew chaotic, and an unknown change came over the region.
A spacetime wormhole had appeared—a cosmic phenomenon.
Such phenomena appeared according to particular laws. The Immortal Sect's observations had predicted that this wormhole would appear at this time and place, and that its other end would emerge near the center of the Milky Way.
Jiang Ding opened his weary eyes.
For nearly a thousand years, he had observed the dissipation of his soul and magical power, recorded the process of his own death, and calculated possible paths to a sword-soul breakthrough. He had made no major progress.
That faint weariness vanished in a flash. Jiang Ding stepped into the spacetime wormhole.
Inside was what seemed to be a frozen world.
