Countless methods were unleashed, and the two sides fought to the bitter end.

As the battle intensified, countless inspirations poured into Jiang Shu's mind.

Every minute and every second, there are flashes of inspiration, as ordinary people would call them.

It was as if I had entered a state of complete enlightenment.

Jiang Shu's fighting skills are developing at an astonishing pace.

If other powerful figures were to witness this, they would undoubtedly be dumbfounded.

It should be understood that as one's cultivation level increases, one's comprehension of the laws and principles will gradually stagnate.

There is always a limit to one's comprehension.

Often, even after a hundred years of contemplation, one may only be stagnating, or even entering a dead end, becoming increasingly trapped in a stalemate.

But now, Jiang Shu is becoming more and more courageous in battle.

His inner strength continues to develop.

Each punch seemed to bring about a new change.

This is not only because Jiang Shu has accumulated enough experience in the Demon Realm.

It's also because he saw an even stronger path in replicating the original!

He eagerly studied the various laws governing his replica body.

A quarter of an hour.

Three quarters of an hour.

Half an hour.

The battle between the two sides continued. Jiang Shu was repeatedly in a sorry state and severely injured. He had no choice but to rush into the star and forcibly absorb various powers in order to save himself from being killed.

The replicant, however, relentlessly pursued him, employing various methods and succeeding several times.

As the battle intensified, Jiang Shu gained a deeper understanding of the essence of this replica—a time replica.

Because he had seen another form of this technique before—the past life!

It was a technique employed by the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor that could forcibly summon past selves to descend, not only others but also oneself.

"However, it's more accurate to say that he is a future self than a past self."

Jiang Shu was filled with many insights, and his time law increased. He also saw the flaw in this replica body.

Having perceived the true nature of matter, Jiang Shu was, to some extent, able to defeat his opponent.

After all, only by severing the connection and disrupting the order can we create a flaw in this time-replicated body.

However, Jiang Shu did not do that.

The two sides continued their fierce battle, which lasted for a considerable period of time.

Jiang Shu narrowly escaped death multiple times, recovering from severe injuries.

The clone also gave him many surprises, not only his methods, but also the connection to the Heavenly Tree, which the World Tree said could simulate the Eternal Tower.

After fighting for half a day, Jiang Shu felt that he could not gain more experience from copying, so he raised his hand and grabbed, and suddenly thousands of silver lights appeared in his hand!
The law of time!

"Annihilate them!"

He used his hand as a palm and suddenly struck out, unleashing unparalleled sharpness.

This attack did not strike the replica; it was not here, not on the other side, not in the middle of the stream.

This strike directly hit the connection of that time.

boom!
In an instant, the replica trembled as if it had lost the foundation of its existence, shattered, and perished completely.

"It's done."

Jiang Shu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
The ninth floor is broken!

Suddenly, Jiang Shu felt an even more terrifying time flow rate of 512 times.

On the ninth floor, slowly close your eyes.

Jiang Shu floated in the air, with stars rising and falling around him.

Within the Eternal Tower, all was utterly silent, devoid of any life.

But at this moment, Jiang Shu felt that if he left the Eternal Tower and returned to the eternal universe...

His methods could create a life-bearing planet.

They reposition stars to place planets in safe zones.

Utilize the laws of time to accelerate the development of life.

"I wonder how things are on Xuanxing now. Once the matter in the Demon Realm is resolved, we can arrange for Golden Horn to be stationed on Xuanxing."

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Shu was not in a hurry to return.

He left behind enough resources at home so that he could return immediately should a crisis arise.

Now, what he needs to do most is to take himself to the next level.

He has been promoted to sainthood!
Only by reaching the realm of a sage can one truly comprehend and control the laws of time.

He has only grasped the basics so far.

This would allow one to transcend minor realms and slay high-level Venerables.

Within the Tower of Eternity, time flows silently like water.

Having come to terms with all the ideas about this battle, Jiang Shu took a step forward, left the Eternal Tower, and returned directly to the War Alliance headquarters through the space wormhole of the base.

"Venerable Jiang Shu, what's wrong with you?"

When Jiang Shu appeared at the War Alliance's ancestral land, looking disheveled and as if he had been fighting for a long time, everyone else was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that they have encountered an ambush by powerful individuals?"

"So the Zerg couldn't wait any longer and just attacked?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Many powerful figures were filled with worry, but Jiang Shu waved his hand and said:
"No, I just went to the Tower of Eternity."

Eternal Tower?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

The many human experts present knew exactly what that place was: it was the Trial Grounds, one of the great treasure lands!

Each time you advance through a level, you will face a replica of yourself, and a replica that is even more powerful than yourself!
Many strong individuals present tried to break through, but even after giving it their all, they only reached around the fourth or fifth floor.

"If Venerable Jiang Shu went to the Eternal Tower, then which floor did he reach?"

Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but speculate.

However, Jiang Shu remained calm and didn't say anything to them. He took a step forward and arrived deep within the War Alliance's ancestral land!
"Brother, you went to the Eternal Tower?"

Zhan Feng, who was standing there, immediately understood what was going on when he saw Jiang Shu's disheveled appearance and spoke up.

"good."

Jiang Shu grinned slightly and said, "I've gained something."

"Any gains?"

"I remember last time you broke through to the Venerable realm, you said you had passed the eighth level, so now you're..."

Zhan Feng couldn't help but stare in astonishment at this point.

"good."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly, a confident and relaxed expression on his face. "I have already passed the eighth level, and I am only a short distance away from breaking through the Eternal Tower..."

Jiang Shu paused for a moment, then held up one finger and said, "There's only one layer."

The ninth floor of the Eternal Tower!?
Zhan Feng's face immediately showed shock, and he exclaimed, "This is really incredible! I've only reached the seventh level. Before I went into seclusion, I couldn't advance any further no matter what I did."

He sighed and said, "I'll go and inform Father right away."

"Okay."

Jiang Shu smiled and nodded. This was a good thing, after all, there were very few experts who could pass the ninth level of the Eternal Tower.

If he were to spread the news of this matter, it would surely shock the region and greatly enhance his strength and reputation.

At this moment, he no longer needed to hide himself as before.

A battle against the powerful forces of the Doomsday Cult, the Machine Race, and the Zerg.

Unless it is a saint who takes action, he has absolute confidence that he can remain invincible against the other venerable ones!

……

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

As expected, news of Jiang Shu breaking through the ninth level spread throughout the entire War Alliance and even towards the entire human race.

Jiang Shu's reputation was already incredibly hot due to the previous debate, and now it's burning even brighter.

News of the Zerg and Mechs has finally arrived.

The two races reached an agreement and agreed to share the secret with the human race.

Let's share the secrets of that black stone!
"It seems that the Machine Race and the Zerg Race are the first to be unable to hold back."

Jiang Shu's lips curled slightly, and he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

He naturally had a lot to think about that black stone, since it had already been integrated into his body. Although he was certain it wouldn't cause any harm, he still needed to find out its origin.

Soon, in that grand hall, many human venerables gathered again. Zhan Jiuxiao was still sitting at the head of the table, and Jiang Shu was in the first seat to his left.

Not far away, the mechanical god's envoy and the insectoid envoy sat side by side, both seemingly having anticipated this outcome.

"Since the Machine Race and the Zerg are willing, let's talk about what that black mark represents."

Zhan Jiuxiao spoke.

The mechanical messenger nodded slightly, then spoke in a deep, mellow male voice.

"I propose that we seal off both the inside and outside. What I am about to tell you concerns the secrets of the universe's impending destruction."

"it is good."

At that moment, many powerful figures present joined forces to forcibly seal off the area inside and out.

Unless someone launches a forced attack or a saint intervenes, it might be possible to find out what's going on.

After sealing these things off, the Zerg envoy shrugged and said, "That's not enough. Your human race must guarantee that this matter will not be easily leaked, as it has far-reaching implications."

Upon hearing this, the doubts in the human race's heart deepened.

However, this is not a problem, since they know about this matter and are probably just stakeholders, so why would they infringe on their own interests?

After the two sides made an agreement, the mechanical messenger then spoke.

"Please recall, gentlemen, was there anything wrong with the attitude of that saint in the saint's tomb?"

The mechanical messenger didn't answer but instead asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu nodded slightly and then said:
"Indeed, the attitude of that saint's lingering remnant was very strange. He gave us the treasure without the slightest hesitation, and his attitude was as if he wanted us to take it and leave as soon as possible and not stay here any longer."

"Yes."

The mechanical envoy nodded slightly:

"Based on our subsequent survey of that area of ​​the sky, we discovered a fluctuation there that was different from that in the natural universe."

“We quietly dispatched a mechanical team to monitor the area, and that’s when we discovered traces of the Doomsday Cult.”

Doomsday Cult! ?

It's the Doomsday Cult again!
The powerful human warriors present each had their own thoughts.

They were also speculating about the exact role the Doomsday Cult played.

"According to on-site monitoring, the Doomsday Cult dispatched powerful individuals to forcibly open the void in search of the traces of that saint's tomb."

"When they returned from the void, we detected that the powerful members of the sect were seriously injured, with residual laws and fragments of the world still on their bodies, or they had experienced a small world self-destruction."

The small world self-destructed!?

Everyone was suddenly startled.

Then, the mechanical messenger continued to speak.

"It is speculated that if the Zerg did not conceal their gains, there is a nearly 97% chance that the Doomsday Cult came for that black stone."

"According to our mother's deductions and calculations, the spatial force wrapped around that black stone is merely a thin film used to protect things deep inside."

“Venerable Jiang Shu, may I request that you come and do something?”

"Alright, please speak freely."

Jiang Shu nodded slightly.

"It is speculated that after you obtained that item, you immediately became a Venerable One. You must have used that item to advance your status. The things left inside should still be on your body."

"Is it possible to reveal even a little bit?"

The mechanical envoy, with his elegant demeanor, began to speak.
"No problem, but you have to tell me what it is first."

Jiang Shu asked.

If the other party's goal is just to take a look at that pattern, wouldn't he be at a loss?

"According to the mother's speculation, this may be a key, a key to the microcosm."

"Microcosmos?"

Jiang Shu grasped this key point and asked, "Could it be related to another place of inheritance?"

Upon hearing this, the Zerg envoy sneered and said, "We are referring to the universe, not the world."

Jiang Shu remained silent for a moment.

That is indeed a misconception in his thinking.

Because it travels between two places, from the perspective of the Star Ruins Realm, the world is simply contained within the universe.

He traveled between the vast land and the demon realm, and almost instinctively believed that the world was equivalent to the universe.

However, the others did not pay attention to this minor issue.

Zhan Jiuxiao spoke:
"Alright, actually I also have a question. What exactly does this 'microcosm' mean? Does the universe have different sizes?"

"If it were before the Doomsday Cult was about to destroy the world, there might not have been any difference, but after that, there was."

The Zerg powerhouse spoke.

"Our history is much longer than that of your human race, and we also know more about the calamity caused by the Doomsday Cult."

"After that catastrophe, nearly half of the known universe collapsed, and the laws of the universe were altered."

"While we don't know exactly what happened to stop the process of heat death in the universe, the fact that nearly half of the universe was destroyed is no joke."

The Zerg envoy spoke slowly, and the powerful figures present who knew that period of history all nodded slightly.

That period of history can be described as the darkest epic of all living beings.

"Could it be that the microcosm is related to that period of history?"

"good."

At this moment, the mechanical race envoy nodded slightly and spoke in a deep, resonant voice:

"It can be inferred that whether it is your human race, our machine race, or other races, they all use various methods and theories to deduce the end of the universe."

"This applies to theories such as collapse, heat death, and other academic disciplines."

"The Doomsday Cult's actions can perhaps be seen as an experiment, a large-scale simulation of the destruction of the universe, applicable to the real universe."

Hearing these words, many human venerables were slightly startled.

They treated that terrifying catastrophe as an experiment.

Perhaps only the strongest members of the mechanical race could do such a thing.

"We, the Machine Race, have dedicated ourselves to studying that ancient history. However, in an accident, on the edge of our own existence, in a void, we discovered a pseudo-independent universe." (End of Chapter)
