Technological advancement begins with devouring.

The invasion and plunder of the first 'alternate dimensional universe sea' went very smoothly.

The enormous amount of primordial energy and massive resources have been acquired, and even the newly discovered 'Four Deadly Zones' have great exploration value.

However, Jiang Chen did not spend too much energy on the latter, intending to treat those places as locations for human race experts to explore and train, and to slowly explore them.

After largely eliminating all hostile forces in the 'New Universe Sea' and allowing some of the human race to migrate into the new universe for development, Jiang Chen immediately led his army, launched the spaceship, and headed to the next 'Alternate Dimension Universe Sea'.

The plan remains the same: let a human powerhouse who has reached the qualification to 'seize the original universe' take over the original universe, annihilate all forces in a dimensional universe sea, and kill all the visible powerhouses.

After taking over the highest authority in the original universe, they then allowed the human race to migrate in.

Over the long years, Jiang Chen continued to take action, bringing countless resources from various cosmic sea dimensions under his control.

However, even if Jiang Chen erases the original will of the primordial universe, he still needs 'qualifications' to seize control of the primordial universe and take over its authority.

If your willpower doesn't reach the threshold, it's impossible to achieve.

After each of the 'qualified' powerhouses had already possessed a primordial universe, Jiang Chen temporarily halted his conquest, gathered the resources he had plundered from the various dimensional universes, and began to enhance the strength of his subordinates.

At this time, the number of primordial universes under the rule of the human race had reached an astonishing seventeen.

Even in the 'Giant Axe Universe,' which was the first to complete the invasion, the human race has multiplied to one-tenth of the universe's maximum capacity.

At most a few more generations, and we will be able to fill every life-bearing planet and continent in the universe.

If they want to expand the size of their race again, they can only wait until one immortal god breaks through and establishes a divine kingdom in the spatial rift, so that it can accommodate new people.

However, rapid population growth does not mean that powerful beings belonging to this universe can be cultivated in a short period of time.

At least so far, no 'native immortal' has been born in the Giant Axe Universe. The strongest genius born in this universe has only reached the level of a Domain Lord, and not even a World Lord can be found.

However, with a system for nurturing a race, and the population and resources of an entire universe, it's only a matter of time before powerful beings emerge.

Jiang Chen also used some of the resources he had acquired to accelerate the development of the 'Mechanical God Cult'.

Anyone who is willing to believe in the 'Cult of the Machine God' can receive an additional 'subsidy' to improve their strength and talents, based on their level of faith and their own talents, in addition to the resources of their clan.

Not just in the Axe Universe.

In every universe taken over by human races, the Cult of Machines has such a 'policy,' which has attracted many natives to join, greatly increasing Jiang Chen's 'faith power.'

Faith is something that doesn't discriminate.

The faith of the strong is better, but the faith of the weak is also useful.

As long as the base number is large enough, combined with the [Mechanical God] series of specializations, Jiang Chen's strength and foundation can continue to improve.

Unfortunately, the human race no longer has enough powerful individuals to possess the original universe and continue invading the 'alternate dimensional universe sea'. They can only plunder resources and cannot expand the territory of their race or the scale of the mechanical god cult's faith.

From a cost-effectiveness perspective, it's more worthwhile to wait until a new strong competitor meets the requirements before taking action.

After pausing the invasion, Jiang Chen took stock of the resources at hand, and after some calculations, decided to continue repairing the spaceship.

During his journey through the dimensions of the cosmic sea, Jiang Chen did not discover any dangers that required the reliance on a spaceship to defend against.

However, a strange intuition made Jiang Chen subconsciously wary of the future and pay more attention to the 'strongest treasure' in his hands. He was willing to pay a huge price to bring the spaceship back to its peak condition as soon as possible.

Jiang Chen poured most of the resources he obtained from the seventeen-dimensional cosmic sea into it.

However, this enormous amount of resources is still not enough to completely repair the spaceship.

After spending a full trillion epochs and exhausting all resources, the integrity of the spaceship only improved from 28% when it was barely operational to 61%.

To achieve a complete repair, at this rate, it would require invading and plundering at least several dozen more interdimensional cosmic seas.

One trillion epochs have passed, and naturally, more powerful beings have emerged among the human race.

Furthermore, Luo Feng has already reached the genetic level of 100,000 times and successfully enslaved the World Beast.

Jiang Chen immediately sprang into action, splitting up with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng does not possess the ability to destroy the original will of the primordial universe, but his world beast servants can directly 'devour' an entire primordial universe, which is a destructive plunder, but can obtain more resources at once.

Therefore, his only responsibility along the way was to scavenge resources.

Jiang Chen's journey involved plundering resources while expanding the human race's 'territory' in order to cultivate more powerful individuals.

The simultaneous actions of both sides brought back countless resources, while also allowing the territory of the human race to expand continuously.

In some special cosmic sea dimensions, Jiang Chen even discovered man-made objects similar to spaceships.

However, those man-made objects were not as useful as the spaceship in traversing the cosmic sea or in war. Jiang Chen only left a group of mechanical creatures to explore and study them, and did not try to collect them immediately.

As the number of primordial universes increases, so too does the number of powerful beings they cultivate.

The more powerful beings there are, the more primordial universes can be possessed, further expanding the territory of the human race.

As it expanded wildly, like a snowball rolling downhill, time passed little by little.

Finally, when the human race's territory officially broke through two thousand primordial universes, Jiang Chen heard the long-awaited system notification.

[Rank has reached the fourteenth level; 'divine power' has been acquired.]

[The requirements for advancing to the 'Supreme Divinity' breakthrough route have been met. Do you wish to break through immediately?]

Jiang Chen's true form is currently within the Supreme Sanctuary of his inner universe.

However, some of the other clones were still busy.

Jiang Chen communicated with all his clones through his consciousness, instructing each clone to find a safe place where they would not be disturbed, before selecting 'yes'.

A terrifying surge of energy erupted from Jiang Chen's body.

In that instant, Jiang Chen seemed to feel something deep within his soul being touched.

In an instant, Jiang Chen realized that it was the system.

This was the first time Jiang Chen truly felt the existence of the system; it was deep within his soul.

The moment Jiang Chen sensed the system, an indescribable emotion instantly surfaced in his mind.

However, there was no time to think about it further.

The moment the system's power erupted, Jiang Chen sensed that a certain 'shackle' that had been hindering him was instantly broken.

Jiang Chen's aura suddenly surged, and in an instant, he completed the leap from the Lord of the Universe to a True God.

The internal universe also begins to expand simultaneously.

The massive amount of primordial energy stored within the inner universe is rapidly consumed, supporting the advancement and expansion of the inner universe.

Having plundered the cosmic seas of thousands of dimensions, Jiang Chen possesses ample resources to complete this breakthrough.

Jiang Chen was even confident that after mastering the 'new knowledge' of the system library, he could break through to an even higher level in a short period of time.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen didn't need to worry about resources before entering 'Hunyuan'.

The only thing lacking is time.

The breakthrough process was not long and was completed in a very short time.

The expansion of the inner universe is still ongoing. This process will take some time, but as long as the supply of primordial energy is sufficient, it will reach the limit of this level within a few years.

Jiang Chen ignored the changes in his inner universe and immediately opened the system interface.

In the 'Rank' column, Jiang Chen's level has been raised to Rank 9, Level 1.

Apart from that, no further changes were observed.

However, after entering the system library, Jiang Chen immediately realized where the so-called 'system privileges' were.

In the past, with each breakthrough, the system library would only unlock a new layer.

However, this time, Jiang Chen discovered that the system library was fully activated.

The tenth floor, the eleventh floor, the twelfth floor...

All the way up to the ninety-ninth floor.

Each floor is completely open to Jiang Chen.

Only at the end of the ninety-ninth floor is there a closed door.

When Jiang Chen touched the door, he naturally received a message: This door can only be opened after he has fully mastered all the knowledge of the first ninety-nine floors of the system library.

Behind the door lies the ultimate 'secret' of this world.

"Ninety-nine floors... If the rank corresponding to each floor of the library remains unchanged, the fifteenth floor corresponds to the Hunyuan level, and at most the seventeenth or eighteenth floor corresponds to the Hunyuan Lord. What level does the knowledge on the ninety-ninth floor correspond to?"

A strong sense of curiosity arose in Jiang Chen's mind. He entrusted the task of invading the alien universe sea dimension to his clone and subordinates, while he himself squandered all the special skill points he had accumulated over trillions of eras, exchanging them for a massive amount of 'learning special skills' and immersing himself in the system library.

Time seemed to have lost its meaning.

Outside, Jiang Chen's army is constantly invading one cosmic sea dimension after another.

The other clones are constantly developing new blueprints, generating a large number of specialty points and free attribute points.

Jiang Chen's main body and consciousness were completely immersed in the system library and never appeared in the outside world again.

During this period, Luo Feng led his Beast servants into the Origin Continent, and many human powerhouses also broke through to higher realms and entered the Origin Continent.

It seemed like a long time had passed before Luo Feng returned once.

At that time, Luo Feng was already a Hunyuan Lord and had obtained control of the Origin Continent, this world of origin, from the hands of 'Yuan'.

It wasn't a robbery or a transaction, but rather 'Yuan' voluntarily entrusted this Origin World to Luo Feng so that Yuan could focus on traveling through various Origin Worlds, cultivating more cultivators at the Chaos Origin level, and enabling these cultivators to gain more advantages in the war against naturally born Chaos Origin beings.

When Luo Feng saw Jiang Chen, he had an extremely strange feeling.

Although his childhood friend had never left the "cage," the aura emanating from him gave Luo Feng a chilling feeling.

It was as if he had met the Lord of Chaos City when he was young and weak, a weak life facing a powerful being whose life level far surpassed his own, and felt an instinctive fear.

However, Luo Feng could tell that Jiang Chen was unwilling to leave his own universe, and he didn't mention the war in the infinite chaotic space outside. After meeting Jiang Chen once, he left quickly.

Not long after Luo Feng left, Jiang Chen interrupted his seclusion, recalled the twelve mechanical apostles, 'modified' them, and then sent them to help Luo Feng.

Jiang Chen himself remained in seclusion in the system library.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Finally, Jiang Chen had fully mastered all the knowledge of the first ninety-nine floors of the system library and stood before the door on the bottom floor of the library.

With a gentle touch, the door, which had been impossible to open before, opened with a single press.

Inside the gate, there was only one small room.

The room was empty except for a table with something that looked like a book on it.

Jiang Chen stepped forward and opened the book.

The book contains a document.

Beyond the endless worlds, there exists a special place called the 'Cosmic Horizon'.

That's a place that records all the 'information' that has ever existed in the world.

Once, someone came here and discovered another function of the 'cosmic horizon'.

That is, no matter what the content is, as long as the description is rigorous and accurate enough and recorded within the 'cosmic horizon', the description will become reality.

The 'discoverer' used an extremely detailed and rigorous description to make himself appear as a 'god' who transcended everything.

But after countless years, for reasons unknown, this 'god' chose to self-destruct, leaving behind this notebook.

And this room.

Or rather, the 'system library' in Jiang Chen's mind is the 'cosmic horizon' mentioned in this notebook.

This room, and this notebook that looks like a book, are the only things here that can be 'written' on.

Anything, whether or not it conforms to the 'rules', will become reality as long as Jiang Chen writes it in this book.

“What Zhongshan Mary…” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but complain.

But instinctively, he picked up the pen beside him, turned to a blank page, and wrote down a paragraph.

"Jiang Chen, upon writing this note, will immediately gain omniscience and omnipotence. He will transcend all time, space, hierarchy, reality, and causality. He will have complete dominion over all things. Along with these abilities, he will possess all the mental qualities necessary to maintain a continuously clear consciousness..."

After writing down a long passage with extremely detailed and rigorous descriptions, Jiang Chen put down his pen and closed his notebook.

The next instant, Jiang Chen's figure suddenly disappeared.

In the depths of the deserted 'cosmic horizon', the door suddenly closed automatically, as if no one had ever been there.
