Technological advancement begins with devouring.

In the cosmic ocean, there is endless chaotic airflow everywhere, and the surrounding environment is almost unchanging.

Moreover, unlike the original universe, this place does not have 'coordinates' composed of parameters such as time, space, and dimension to help people determine their location.

Without a detailed map, getting lost in the cosmic ocean is an extremely dangerous thing.

However, Jiang Chen obtained a method from the spaceship's database that uses the 'tides' of chaotic air currents to determine direction.

Simply put, if we consider the cosmic sea as an ocean, when the seawater flows naturally, if it encounters a huge reef, the waves can travel a very long distance.

Using this method to work backwards, one cannot accurately determine one's location, but one can roughly estimate which direction there is a particularly large behemoth, and even through a series of complex calculations, one can roughly calculate the size and distance of that unknown object.

Of course, only enormous objects of a certain size can leave such 'ripples' in the chaotic air currents of the cosmic ocean.

The primordial universe was undoubtedly capable of meeting this standard.

In fact, given the sheer size and scale of the primordial universe, the traces left by the 'tides' of the chaotic currents in the cosmic sea are extremely remarkable and difficult to ignore.

Following this fluctuation, Jiang Chen activated the spaceship and flew towards the primordial universe of this dimension.

The speed of the spaceship is terrifying. Even with only the power reactor undergoing initial repairs, its speed can still reach a terrifying trillions of times the speed of light.

It took only a few hundred years to reach the outer edge of the primordial universe in this dimension.

When Jiang Chen first invaded a dimension of the universe, he was cautious but not overly conservative.

Putting everything else aside, a single operational spaceship, if it were to ram into anything, would be enough to destroy any defenses in the cosmic ocean, except for the primordial universe and special 'dead zones'.

Even the so-called 'holy land universe' couldn't withstand the impact after the spaceship accelerated to its limit.

As we approach the outer edge of the primordial universe, traces of various life activities begin to appear.

Jiang Chen's fleet even captured several 'local' native powerhouses, directly extracting a wealth of information about this dimensional universe from their memories.

Like Jiang Chen's 'hometown universe sea', the primordial universe here also shatters and is reborn every long period of time, which is called a 'cycle era'.

All living beings that fail to survive three cycles of reincarnation and establish a 'Holy Land Universe' will be wiped out.

This is a fundamental rule applicable to all dimensional universes, originating from the underlying rules of this source world. No two dimensional universes will differ in this respect.

But aside from these similarities, there are significant differences in all other aspects.

For example, the Holy Land Universe, which is part of this dimensional universe, has as many as eight universes. The largest one has a diameter of more than 20 billion light-years and is obviously from an eternal true god.

However, the world called 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe' is already in a very distant location from the original universe, almost beyond the limits of the exploration range of the current three reincarnation era's powerhouses.

Moreover, it is said that the powerful figures of the 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe' have not left that Holy Land Universe for a long time and have not appeared in the outside world.

Apart from the other powerful figures in the Holy Land universe, the powerful figures of the three great reincarnation eras are now unaware of any well-known powerful figures in the 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe'.

Besides the fact that the number of Holy Land universes is far greater than that of Jiang Chen's 'home universe sea', there are also more large 'forbidden zones' in this dimension of the universe sea, with as many as four major forbidden zones.

However, none of them are man-made like the 'spaceship'; they are all in some kind of natural environment.

Like Qingfengjie and Liuzhongshan, it is a 'part' somewhere on the Origin Continent, which separated from the main body of the Origin Continent and drifted into this cosmic sea.

Judging from the information in the memories of these powerful individuals, the four forbidden lands produce slightly more treasures and special inheritances than Jiang Chen's hometown, the Cosmic Sea.

Almost every true god with a name and identity possesses at least one supreme treasure.

Those top-tier true gods with greater strength all possess some special secret technique from 'ancient civilization'.

More treasures and more heritage—perhaps this is why so many sacred universes have been born in this cosmic sea.

With a larger pool of strong individuals, the probability of a breakthrough naturally increases.

To some extent, this cosmic ocean in one dimension is still quite powerful.

However, this level of strength appears weak and powerless when facing Jiang Chen's fleet.

The two are not even on the same level.

Besides this basic information, a piece of information gleaned from the memories of those prisoners left Jiang Chen with a look of astonishment.

Not long ago, the 'Ancestral God Cult' of this dimension of the cosmic sea issued a warning to all forces in the cosmic sea, 'prophesying' that there would be an invasion by outsiders, hoping that all forces would unite to deal with this 'disaster that could destroy the entire cosmic sea'.

—According to the Ancestral God Sect, this assessment comes from the original will of the primordial universe itself.

However, the Ancestral God Cult does not have a strong grasp of the Cosmic Sea.

Those forces didn't trust them enough, and held a skeptical attitude towards the so-called 'prophecy'.

Some forces with relatively good relations have reached a tendency to join forces, but they will only draw on their strongest members to form an alliance after seeing 'substantial evidence'.

Those factions that already had personal grudges had no interest in negotiating at all.

However, this matter still made Jiang Chen a little concerned.

"The primordial will could foresee my arrival? No, judging by the time, it should have been the 'exploration team' that was sensed by the primordial will when it entered this dimension."

A thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind: "If that's the case, we'll need to act even faster when invading other dimensional cosmic seas in the future."

"Don't give them too much time to prepare. Let's start with the outer universes one by one. The Spaceship and the Death Star will be responsible for the eight holy land universes. The rest of the legions will be responsible for the smaller universes established by the true gods. First, clear out the cosmic sea, and then go to the primordial universe."

Jiang Chen gave the order without hesitation.

If the various forces in this dimension of the cosmic sea were to unite under the coordination of the primordial will and the 'Ancestral God Cult,' it would be impossible to turn the tide of battle, but it would cause Jiang Chen to suffer more unnecessary losses.

It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the other side has not yet truly united and defeat them one by one, so as to avoid a 'hard battle'.

For his first invasion of the interdimensional universe, Jiang Chen brought a considerable army, just to be on the safe side, with enough troops to divide and carry out operations.

Armies poured out of the spaceship's hatches in droves.

Jinluo Tiandi, Yinhe Hao, Leviathan...

Various massive war machines rapidly advanced towards small universes, following the 'maps' obtained from the memories of prisoners.

The spaceship that Jiang Chen was traveling on directly targeted the most powerful 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe'.

A spaceship over 100 million light-years long is like a tiny speck in front of the sacred universe, which has a diameter of over 20 billion light-years.

But at this moment, this 'little thing' was devouring the miniature universe with an extremely terrifying aura.

Instead of bypassing the defenses of the miniature universe to devour its primordial energy, it directly 'eats' the miniature universe itself!

This spaceship is powerful enough to deal with the most powerful Chaos Overlords.

A small universe at the level of an Eternal True God is not enough to withstand the power of the spaceship.

Even though the spaceship wasn't fully repaired, its most basic capabilities were enough to bring a devastating catastrophe to this small universe that had been passed down for countless years.

The Cosmic Ship's devouring function was pushed to its limit, and in just a few years, it devoured the entire 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe,' transforming it into a massive amount of primordial energy, which was stored inside the energy center.

During this time, the powerful figures of the 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe' attempted to resist, but they couldn't even get close to the spaceship.

After the power reactor is activated, there is a barrier on the outer layer of the spaceship that is almost an 'absolute domain'. Unless it is an authorized life form, it is impossible to even get close to the spaceship without the strength to rival the Chaos Ruler.

After swallowing the 'Emperor Lin Holy Land Universe', Jiang Chen led his fleet to continue towards the next target.

Meanwhile, troops were rapidly eliminating various forces in the cosmic sea.

Hundreds of miniature universes collapsed and were destroyed under the attacks of the mechanical legion and the insectoid legion, causing the extinction of countless living beings living within them.

Whether it is the 'Holy Land Universe' that has transcended reincarnation, or the small universes established by the true gods in the three reincarnation eras, none of them are exempt.

The universe itself, under the devouring influence of the Spaceship, the Death Star, and Leviathan, will only have one fate: to have all its origins consumed.

The powerful beings in the universe, under the onslaught of large war fortresses such as 'Jinluo Tiandi' and 'Yinhe Hao', had no chance to resist and were quickly annihilated.

In just a few decades, Jiang Chen destroyed all the small universes outside the original universe.

Even those broken and destroyed miniature universes from ancient times were not spared; they were all devoured by 'Leviathan' and converted into primordial energy for storage.

One of the most important spoils of invading a dimension is primordial energy, so there's no reason to waste it.

After eliminating the small universes one by one, Jiang Chen gathered all the legions and, led by the spaceship, headed straight for the primordial universe.

With the 'Mechanical God Kingdom' domain unfolding, Jiang Chen completely disregarded the rule that 'extraterrestrial life is prohibited from entering the Primordial Universe,' leading his legion into the Primordial Universe and heading straight for the depths of the Origin Land.

Having had the experience of annihilating the original will of the primordial universe once, the next time was much easier.

After making sufficient preparations, Jiang Chen successfully erased the original will of this primordial universe in a short time, allowing the Giant Axe Founder to successfully seize control and replace the will of this universe.

"How are you?" Jiang Chen asked with concern.

“No problem.” The Giant Axe Founder nodded slightly and said, “I can control some of the basic rules of the original universe. Although it’s only a part, it’s enough to allow my human race to migrate into this universe.”

"That's great!" Jiang Chen exclaimed with delight.

The same applies to the founder of the giant axe.

The addition of a 'primordial universe' is great news for the race.

Although communication between the two cosmic sea dimensions is not very convenient and must rely on the technology in Jiang Chen's hands.

Regardless, the addition of a primordial universe ultimately doubled the size of the human race's territory.

This means more people, more resources, and the ability to cultivate more strong individuals!

For Jiang Chen, this also means that his 'Mechanical God Cult' can gain another territory to harvest faith.

Even with twice the number of 'believers,' it was still not enough for Jiang Chen to achieve a significant breakthrough in his rank.

However, as long as he continues to conquer each cosmic dimension, one day he will be able to gather enough faith power to raise Jiang Chen's 'rank' to the level required for advancement.

"Fortunately, I brought a group of people with me, so let them live and multiply here." Jiang Chen's tone was tinged with a smile.

Before coming to this dimensional cosmic sea, Jiang Chen brought a group of people from the human race as 'seeds' for this migration into the new universe.

The number of people is not large, only one trillion, which is just the maximum number that a slightly larger space equipment can accommodate.

This group was not very strong; they were merely 'seeds' for reproduction, to give birth to more people for the new territory.

The stronger they are, the weaker their reproductive ability becomes, making it less effective to use ordinary members of their tribe.

Given humanity's reproductive capacity, it wouldn't be long before they could fill up all the life-bearing planets in this universe.

Of course, it will take a long time to cultivate enough strong individuals.

"Why don't you leave a group of mechanical kin here?" the Giant Axe Founder suggested. "The kin brought this time are generally weak and need someone to guide and manage them."

“That’s what I was thinking too. We can leave behind tens of thousands of mechanical followers.” Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, “Later, we can transfer a group of strong individuals from our hometown. We don’t need too many; just enough to build the framework for the Virtual Universe Company, the Giant Axe Arena, and other major corporations. My Cosmic Technology Company will also establish a branch here. It’s better for these corporations to take the lead in cultivating the inheritance system for our clansmen.”

“Yes, that’s the way to do it. Nurturing our people is very important.” The Giant Axe Founder said solemnly, “I will stay here for a while. By the way, there is quite a bit of primordial energy accumulated in the original universe. I’ll give it to you first.”

Now that the 'possession' is complete, the founder of the Giant Axe should hand over the benefits that belong to Jiang Chen.

When the topic of dividing the spoils came up, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and said repeatedly, "Okay, thank you, teacher."
