Chapter 280 Returning with a Full Load (5 updates)
Back to the tribe, the Giant Ax Meeting was held again.
This time, the only ‘issue’ is the arrangement for the inheritance of the ‘Ghost Tribe’.
Under Jiang Chen's suggestion, the senior leaders of the ethnic group decided not to promote these inheritances on a large scale for the time being, and only spread them within a small area to ensure that they would not be leaked.
However, even if it is only on a 'small scale', it can benefit all the lords and masters of the universe.
Some geniuses with extremely high authority such as kings and realm masters also have the opportunity to come into contact with part of the inheritance.
The core and most complete inheritance of the 'Ghost Tribe' is the 'Death Path' and the 'Insect Beast Path' inheritance, which are incompatible with the path taken by the more than 20 high-level powerhouses of the human race.
However, even if it is only a peripheral inheritance, a considerable part of it will be of great help to the Lord of the Universe and even the founder of the giant axe.
An Xin believes that for a period of time, the strength of the top human race experts will be improved to a certain extent.
The only thing that makes Jiang Chen feel a little pity is that the vast majority of the inheritance of the 'Youworm Tribe' prefers the traditional 'perception' cultivation system, which is not suitable for him.
However, among the hundreds of millions of inheritance stones, you can still find something that will be helpful to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen selected a magical burning secret technique, as well as some inheritance in treasure refining, mechanical flow, and insect beast cultivation.
The former must be practiced and can greatly improve one's combat effectiveness.
Even though Jiang Chen rarely takes action personally and dispatches mechanical legions in most battles, he does not think that his own combat effectiveness is too strong.
There are never too many ways to enhance your strength.
Every time you master the secret technique of divine burning, once you use it, your strength will increase by one level.
Of course, this first level does not refer to the level in the system level, but the strength level division of the Lord of the Universe and the True God.
The first three levels of the divine burning secret technique of the 'Ghost Tribe' are not blocked by the supreme rules and can be viewed.
When a first-level universe master reaches the third level, he can exert a combat power that rivals a fourth-level universe master simply by relying on divine power to burn.
Of course, at this speed of burning divine power, the divine body of the first-order Lord of the Universe cannot last long.
However, Jiang Chen's genetic level is high enough, and the universe in his body is constantly replenishing his divine power, so there is no problem in this regard.
If he can master the triple divine power burning secret technique, Jiang Chen will be considered to have good combat power among the Lords of the Universe.
But just by looking at it, Jiang Chen judged the difficulty of this secret technique.
It will take thousands of years to master the first level.
And each subsequent level is more difficult than the last.
Jiang Chen estimated that before the original star was activated, he could only master the first two levels at most.
Before the Duan Donghe inheritance was born, it was very impressive to be able to practice the three levels of divine power burning secret technique.
However, Jiang Chen doesn’t care about these details.
As long as you can improve your strength, just go slower. Anyway, you can let the clone practice.
As long as any clone is mastered, the main body and other clones will naturally master it.
Jiang Chen has enough clones, so it won't make any difference if he separates one clone to practice the secret technique of divine burning.
As for the inheritance of treasure refining, mechanical flow, and insect beast cultivation, for Jiang Chen, the greatest significance is to learn from and refer to.
The two categories of treasure refining and mechanical flow are of great reference significance for Jiang Chen to design and improve various mechanical units.
As for the cultivation of insect beasts, it has certain reference value for Jiang Chen’s research on ‘biotechnology’.
Generally speaking, these inheritances will not become Jiang Chen's core training system, but they can also be used as a supplement to the system's plug-ins.
Just like the secret arts of divine power, this aspect of inheritance is also left to the clone to understand.
As for Jiang Chen's true body, he is naturally in seclusion deep in the universe inside his body, using the high time acceleration of the universe inside his body to learn the knowledge in the system library.
Jiang Chen has never forgotten what makes him strong.
Exploring the value of the system can maximize Jiang Chen's own strength.
——
Because of the 'Inheritance of the Netherworm Tribe', the human race suddenly became a lot calmer. A large number of powerful people who were qualified to have access to the inheritance were seizing the time to digest these inheritances and improve their strength.
Unfortunately, the battle in the universe will never stop.
The three parties, the monster race, the insect race, and the machine race, are constantly fighting. It is simply impossible for the human race to be alone.
If you forcefully avoid the battle, the only outcome will be to be attacked by three parties.
However, after receiving the 'Inheritance of the Netherworm Tribe', the human race is very clear that time is on their side.
As long as most of these inheritances can be digested, the strength of the human race will inevitably increase by leaps and bounds.
By that time, the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race will be completely unworthy as opponents of the human race.
At least within the original universe.
In order to buy time, the human race has been trying to reduce the intensity of the fight between the four races.
Although the effect was limited, it still had some effect. At least it did not allow this chaotic war to turn into an all-out war between the four races.
Conflict always remains at a level below the Lord of the Universe.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Chen rushed all the mechanical family members to the battlefield and fought for the human race under the Lord of Virtual Gold.
Not only to gain benefits, but also to enhance the strength of the mechanical family members.
Especially the twelve commanders.
After 'potential activation', their potential has been greatly improved. With enough battle training, their strength can continue to grow.
After Jiang Chen spent ten thousand years in seclusion, mastered all the laws and rules of the seventh-floor library, and transmitted them to the twelve commanders through memory data, their strength growth rate once again increased by a small step.
However, the breakthrough from the top cosmic overlord to the master of the universe is not that easy.
Jiang Chen didn’t care either.
Slow down, slow down, anyway, as long as they do not fall, it is only a matter of time before they reach the level of the Lord of the Universe.
Small-scale conflicts are not enough. When the primitive star opens and a chaotic war breaks out among the billions of powerful people in the primitive universe, there will naturally be enough battles for them to hone their skills.
——
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed in the original universe.
Just like in the original work, Luo Feng became the inheritor of the Ancestral God Sect as the 'King of Knife River'. After obtaining the clone of 'Youhai' in the secret realm of the Ancestral God Sect, he spent 80,000 years accumulating, and finally, Breakthrough into immortality.
When Luo Feng broke through, although the movement was not as good as Jiang Chen, it was still more terrifying than when most immortals broke through to the Universe Master.
The advantage of the 'Youhai' clone in the total amount of divine power is really too great.
Except for Jiang Chen, who has a universe inside his body, there is probably no immortal in the entire original universe who can rival Luo Feng in terms of divine body.
Even the immortal-level descendants of the Lord of the Nine Nethers cannot do it. Their genetic level cannot achieve the perfect genes like Luo Feng.
In other words, the Lord of Nine Nethers himself has both the body of the Endless Nether Sea and the perfect genetic level, so he can far surpass Luo Feng in terms of total divine power. However, if a master of the universe is compared with an immortal, this alone can reflect Luo Feng's power.
But even this kind of Luo Feng, when he broke through to immortality, was far inferior to Jiang Chen at the time.
From this, we can see how terrifying the strength bonus brought to Jiang Chen by the universe inside Jiang Chen's body is.
For tens of thousands of years, Jiang Chen's mechanical family members fought abroad, which naturally gave Jiang Chen a lot of immortal gods and the divine kingdom of the Universe Lord to devour.
Coupled with the natural growth of the inner universe by absorbing the original energy of the original universe, the size of the inner universe has grown to more than 20,000 light-years in diameter, barely able to accommodate a slightly smaller galaxy.
Putting most of the original energy into the expansion of the universe within the body means that you cannot save too much original energy.
In the Sanctuary of Birth, on the panel of the inner universe, the 'balance' of the original energy is only less than 10 billion.
It may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough for the expansion of the universe inside the body. If all of them are smashed in, the diameter of the universe inside the body will not even increase by one light year.
However, Jiang Chen has always adhered to a point of view. As long as there is no important war, of course it is more important to keep the universe in the body expanding than to store the original energy.
The larger the universe inside the body is, the more efficiently it absorbs energy from the outside world, thus continuing to accelerate the growth rate of the universe inside the body.
Although the normal absorption of the original energy of the original universe is not as fast and trouble-free as directly devouring the Immortal Kingdom, there is no conflict between the two and they can be done together.
Under the steady flow of water, over tens of thousands of years, the total amount of source energy absorbed is not a small amount.
Of course, most of these original energies were used by Jiang Chen to maintain the acceleration of time.
Every time the volume of the universe inside his body expands, Jiang Chen will increase the time acceleration multiple to ensure that the efficiency of naturally absorbing the original energy of the original universe is roughly equivalent to the consumption of maintaining time acceleration.
With the current size of the universe in the body and the efficiency of absorbing the source energy, it is possible to maintain a time acceleration of just over two thousand times without spending any additional resources.
The rate of time acceleration has been increased again and again. The original universe was more than 80,000 years ago, and the actual time Jiang Chen has experienced has been over 100 million years.
But even after such a long period of time, Jiang Chen still failed to fully master the knowledge in the system library.
In fact, only more than half of it has been mastered, and nearly 40% has not been mastered.
The more advanced the knowledge, the more subdivided categories it has, and the difficulty becomes more and more exaggerated.
Even though Jiang Chen has greatly improved his knowledge expertise, his efficiency in mastering new knowledge is gradually decreasing.
Jiang Chen is already considering whether he needs to suspend his study in the system library and first acquire some more powerful knowledge expertise.
However, now that I am mastering new knowledge, it is just that my efficiency is slower, not to the extent that I cannot improve it, and the priority of doing so is not very high.
While Jiang Chen was immersed in seclusion to improve his strength, suddenly Jiang Chen received an email from the founder of Giant Axe, summoning Jiang Chen to enter the virtual universe for a meeting.
Seeing the content in the email, Jiang Chen was suddenly startled: "Primordial Star, is it finally going to be turned on?!"
"So...has it been so long?"
Jiang Chen suddenly woke up and realized that during the days when he was immersed in the system library, he didn't feel much about the passage of time.
As his strength increases, the influence of time on Jiang Chen seems to be weakening.
The time of an ordinary life, to Jiang Chen, is only an insignificant moment.
Opened the system panel and took a look. The awakening progress of the second exclusive specialty was stuck at 99.9%.
And I was stuck at this step a long time ago and never crossed the last threshold.
“Since the original star is about to be opened, let’s get the exclusive expertise first.”
Jiang Chen casually invested 100,000 expertise points to fully complete the awakening progress of the second exclusive expertise.
Two lines of system prompts appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
[The awakening progress of the exclusive specialty has reached 100%. Since 99.9% is autonomous awakening, the main tendency range of the specialty has been fixed. Since 0.1% is spent on expertise points to awaken, the direction of the expertise bonus can be chosen within a very small range. 】
【Please select the main tendency of exclusive expertise from the following directions. You need to select at least one and at most three. 】
【1. Knowledge mastery. 】
【2. Development of design drawings. ]
[3. Mechanical Legion Bonus]
......
A large list appeared in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen hesitated for a while and chose [1. Knowledge Mastery], [3. Mechanical Legion Bonus].
If there were no events initiated by the original star, Jiang Chen would definitely only choose [1. Knowledge mastery].
But after the Primordial Star is opened, even if Jiang Chen doesn’t go to the Primordial Star himself, the Mechanical Familia will definitely go.
The increased combat power of the mechanical legion will also be of great help to the mechanical family members in their battle on the primitive star.
Choosing two ‘main tendencies’ will cause the bonuses to be dispersed, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Anyway, there is not just one exclusive expertise, and there will be opportunities to awaken new exclusive expertise in the future.
[The main tendency has been determined. 】
【Please determine the secondary tendency of this specialty from the following optional directions (select at least two, and at least one of type A and type B options must be selected). 】
[A1, ‘True Wisdom’ attribute increase. 】
[A2, intelligence, spirit, mystery, and true wisdom attributes increase the proportion of knowledge mastering efficiency. 】
[B1. Increase in mechanical affinity attribute. 】
[B2, Mechanical affinity blessing range increases. 】
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and chose A1 or B2.
Jiang Chen's basic attributes are already high enough, with more than 40 million points of true wisdom attribute and more than 30 million points of mechanical affinity attribute. This value is already very high.
What is needed is not an improvement in ‘numerical value’, but an improvement in ‘addition ratio’ and ‘addition method’.
【The secondary tendency has been determined. 】
[Please choose to keep 2~4 items from the following bonus effects. (Keep 1~2 items for options A and B each)]
[A1. The efficiency of mastering knowledge of order rules is improved. 】
[A2, intelligence, spirit, mystery, and true wisdom attributes increase the proportion of knowledge mastering efficiency. 】
[A3. Obtain the ‘Rules of Chaos’ talent, and unlock part of the ‘Rules of Chaos’ knowledge after your next rank promotion. 】
【B1. Significantly increasing the 'Mechanical Affinity' attribute can simultaneously increase the upper limit of the number of mechanical units. 】
[B2. Significantly increase the maximum effective distance of the ‘Mechanical Affinity’ attribute. 】
[B3. Obtain active abilities about the mechanical legion. 】
This time, Jiang Chen fell into hesitation and was unable to make a decision.
