Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 205: Thousand Shadow Doppelganger - Heading to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!

As Lin Ye's thought landed on the '+' after [Doppelganger], a change occurred.

Instantly, a very strange feeling emerged in his mind.

He immediately separated a wisp of his spiritual sense and sank it into his sea of consciousness to find out what was going on.

Sure enough, when Lin Ye's wisp of consciousness passed through the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda and entered the first level.

“Buzz…”

The entire first level lit up suddenly. The consciousness that entered this blood-colored giant tower began to change under some inexplicable power.

Not only the giant tower changed, but even Lin Ye also changed.

At the same time, he felt a slight sting in his heart.

Upon careful sensing, it turned out that a trace of his essence blood, under the traction of a mysterious force, appeared on the first level of this Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.

As this wisp of consciousness was swallowed, Lin Ye separated another wisp of consciousness and entered the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda again, observing all the changes.

In his perception, an increasingly powerful mysterious force constantly entangled his essence blood and consciousness, gradually forming a transparent blood-colored egg.

Within it, that wisp of consciousness became increasingly clear.

This feeling was like a baby in its mother's womb, or in an eggshell… slowly gestating.

At the same time, a voice appeared in Lin Ye's mind—

[Thousand Shadow Doppelganger is gestating, estimated time: two hours.]

“Is this the doppelganger I'm gestating? It's truly a miraculous feeling.”

Lin Ye's wisp of consciousness watched intently as the essence blood and soul source intertwined.

A tiny embryo, under a power he couldn't comprehend, was rapidly growing.

Initially, it was just an egg-sized embryo that constantly absorbed the surrounding energy, slowly growing… devouring and digesting energy like a whale…

And Lin Ye's connection with it became increasingly clear as the size of this embryo increased.

This scene brought Lin Ye a great shock.

An unprecedented feeling made Lin Ye recall some past events—

In the original story, Luo Feng relied on seizing the body of the Golden Horned Beast to gain the talent secret technique of a doppelganger, and then he also nurtured his own Earth doppelganger.

Later, with the acquisition of the Mosha Clan's skin, he obtained a second Mosha Clan doppelganger… until the final Blood Sea doppelganger…

And he, Lin Ye, relied solely on the system panel to not only possess his own domain but also activate this doppelganger.

Moreover, in his subconscious, there was a definite connection between this panel and the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda.

Perhaps it was because he was currently weak and unable to discover the connection between them.

But Lin Ye had always harbored this doubt in his heart, wanting to explore it after becoming stronger.

After all, the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda that brought him from that world to Devouring Starry Sky was definitely not an ordinary object!

“I wonder if this ‘Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda’ is more powerful than Zuoshan Ke's ‘Star Tower’!”

For no reason, such a thought suddenly popped into Lin Ye's mind.

Fortunately, he stopped this irrelevant thought in time.

He was still too weak now, and thinking too much would not benefit him in the slightest.

To explore secrets, he would only be qualified after he became strong!

Calming his mind, Lin Ye quietly watched the gestation of this doppelganger.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Inside the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, this blood-colored embryo was constantly absorbing external energy.

And the entire tower emitted a misty red glow, in coordination with the gestation of his doppelganger.

At the center of the sea of consciousness.

The four miniature light spheres representing the mental power of a Star-level Tier 4 were also spinning rapidly.

A continuous stream of mental power, mixed with cosmic energy, rushed into the constantly growing embryo one after another.

At the same time, the genetic energy overflowing from Lin Ye's dantian also entered.

In Lin Ye's perception, this embryo was like a bottomless pit, accepting everything.

Whether it was cosmic energy, genetic energy, mental power, or the mysterious energy of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, it devoured them one by one, basically not letting go of a single trace.

This made him even more curious about how far his doppelganger could grow.

…

Time passed bit by bit, and the embryo where the doppelganger was located continued to grow.

After two hours had passed, this ‘large egg’ with a faint layer of light slowly revealed its true face under Lin Ye's gaze.

Lin Ye widened his eyes, looking at the small doppelganger inside, his heart filled with joy.

At the moment when this doppelganger appeared, the surrounding tower walls emitted a burst of hazy light, as if echoing it.

There were even some peculiar symbols on it, constantly flickering.

Then, Lin Ye's wisp of consciousness slowly swept over the first level of the tower, which was engraved with strange symbols and constantly emitted a faint mysterious power.

At this time, he couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind: “The existence of this tower is likely to be more powerful and advanced than this primal universe.”

However, as soon as this thought arose in Lin Ye's mind, he immediately felt a terrifying pressure like the sky was collapsing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately withdrew this thought and looked at the increasingly clear doppelganger.

Opposite him, this doppelganger was like a child of about one or two years old.

He just floated quietly beside Lin Ye, curled up tightly like a cold puppy.

However, his appearance was nine-tenths similar to Lin Ye's, and he looked very cute.

This was an inevitable situation because this was a doppelganger nurtured from his soul source and essence blood.

Lin Ye looked at the Thousand Shadow Doppelganger that could communicate with his thoughts, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

This was his first doppelganger!

“Huff! Huff!”

Looking at this doppelganger, Lin Ye clearly felt his heartbeat accelerating constantly.

Just as Lin Ye's consciousness came into contact with it, a message immediately appeared in his mind.

[Thousand Shadow Doppelganger: A doppelganger derived from the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda and Lin Ye's essence blood and soul source, different from pure energy, with its own life and soul]

[Feature ①: Simultaneously connected to energy and the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda, it can be immune to all attacks and has an extremely high affinity for spatial laws.]

[Feature ②: With the improvement of strength, it can be transformed into ten, hundreds, or up to a thousand doppelgangers, with first-class resistance to attacks!]

[Feature ③: The doppelganger cultivates independently, and the absorption of energy is three to ten times that of the original body.]

[Feature ④: …]

[Feature …]

…

Reading the lines of feature information, Lin Ye was stunned!

So many abilities were simply countless times better than Luo Feng's Mosha Clan doppelganger!

And the most important thing was that, with his thoughts, this doppelganger could have its own thoughts, but still obey Lin Ye's commands.

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”

Without any warning, wisps of rich scarlet light suddenly appeared, lingering around the Thousand Shadow Doppelganger.

And the latter seemed to be integrated with the space, directly disappearing on this first level of the tower.

If it weren't for the connection with Lin Ye, it would be basically invisible to the naked eye.

Then, he directly returned from the first level of the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda to the cultivation room.

He prepared to call his little friends to see the Thousand Shadow Doppelganger.

In this way, Babata and Chan'er were also called out by Lin Ye.

Among them, there was also Huo Rong, who was waking up from a beautiful dream.

“Little master, what's the matter?”

Huo Rong rubbed his eyes with a pair of large, red-haired hands, looking at Lin Ye with a sleepy look, and asked: “Are you preparing for the divine kingdom teleportation? Where are you going this time?”

“I'm indeed preparing to go out, but there's no rush now!”

Lin Ye said with a smile, then looked at Chan'er and Babata, blinking his eyes: “Chan'er, Babata, what do you see in front of you?”

Then, he had a thought.

This doppelganger suddenly appeared in front of Chan'er, about one meter away.

“What, what thing?”

Babata followed Lin Ye's line of sight and looked over, shaking her head and saying: “There's nothing here!”

Huff! Huff!

After speaking, she flapped her crystal clear little wings and flew around Lin Ye several times.

Even when Babata passed through this doppelganger, she didn't notice it at all.

“Little master, did you call us out to say something?” Chan'er's bright eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt, looking inexplicably.

It seemed that the Thousand Shadow Doppelganger, which was close at hand, was invisible.

At this moment, Babata, Chan'er, and Huo Rong were all like blind people.

But what felt even more inexplicable than these two intelligent lives was Lin Ye.

He looked at the ‘Thousand Shadow Doppelganger’ close at hand, but Babata didn't feel anything, as if there was nothing in front of her.

Even Chan'er and Huo Rong, these two immortal beings, didn't notice the ‘suddenly appearing’ doppelganger at all.

This kind of awareness was not only at the perceptual level but also not perceived at the soul level.

On the side, Huo Rong touched his honest head a little boredly, shaking his head and saying: “There's nothing, I don't know… I don't know!”

Lin Ye: “…”

For a time, even his head was a little dazed.

For everything that was showing very strange, he could only attribute it to the Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda in his mind.

Probably its existence isolated the perception of these people.

Perhaps, what this mysterious Thousand Tribulation Floating Pagoda isolated was not just Babata and the others…

…

A day later.

After getting the Thousand Shadow Doppelganger ready, Lin Ye held another meeting in the virtual universe.

Without exception.

All the participants this time were the high-level combat forces of Earth, including Thor, Hong, Ma Qingfeng, and Mo Qingdi, all the speakers and powerful councilor powerhouses were all here.

For the sake of the upcoming Black Dragon Mountain Empire trip.

Just after they had experienced the Qiulong Star journey, they had more insights into the mysterious and magnificent vast deep space.

Along with the improvement of insights, there was more mystery they wanted to explore.

So this time Lin Ye proposed a plan to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Once it was proposed, basically no one stopped it.

To put it bluntly, they also wanted to see what the middle-level universe civilization that governed them looked like.

“I think we should bring all the seven speakers and only let our Galaxy Guardians captain stay to guard the house.”

At the round table meeting, the bald man touched his shiny bald head and focused his eyes on Huang Shaoying.

After all, as the number one leader of the Galaxy Guardians Fleet, he had the heavy responsibility of undertaking the defense work of the earth and even the galaxy.

Huang Shaoying: “…”

In the face of the ‘frank’ Thor, Huang Shaoying shrugged helplessly and said directly: “If I stay, you, the third speaker, won’t be able to escape.”

“Hahaha, I'm kidding.”

The bald strong man was a little afraid to look at the eyes of the seventh speaker and smiled at Lin Ye and said: “First speaker, I think since we are going to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, we should bring all the speakers who want to go out to see the world!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Ma Qingfeng nodded repeatedly and said: “But I don’t know, during the years you have been in seclusion, the number of planetary-level powerhouses on our earth has increased explosively by seven times from the original three hundred, reaching a terrible two thousand five hundred!”

“Very good results, all the results of your management!”

Lin Ye nodded with a smile, then looked at everyone present and said solemnly: “This time to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire,

In fact, it is for the world master world on Black Flame Star, not the vacation you imagined.”

“This voyage is two completely different concepts from your trip to Qiulong Star, so you have to correct you from the root.”

“…”

As soon as this remark came out, the entire conference hall was suddenly silent.

Whether it was Thor or Hong, they all looked at each other with disbelief.

But soon, they worked out the result—

Only the speakers and the top twenty councilors in the combat power ranking were eligible to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The rest of the people continued to stay on Earth to guard the house.

And this time to Black Flame Star, Lin Ye also planned to do a very important thing—

Pass the cosmic trainee mercenary assessment for everyone present and let them also join the ‘Cosmic Mercenary Alliance’ and become trainee mercenaries among them.

With this identity, even if the Earth warriors want to venture into the universe alone in the future, it will be more convenient.

After determining the number of people, the next step was to arrange work.

In less than half a day, everything on Earth had been arranged in an orderly manner under the discussion of the seven speakers.

And this process, Lin Ye basically belonged to onlookers.

Because during these years of seclusion, Hong and others have been managing it, and he, the shopkeeper, can't do it as well as the others.

…

Three days later.

A group of people set off in a mighty manner, not only with the top seven speakers and twenty councilor powerhouses on Earth.

Even the star-level peak slaves were brought hundreds.

Some of them were spiritual masters, and some were warriors.

But without exception, they were all at the peak of the star level, and their strength was even more unusually fierce.

What's more, Lin Ye also found some combat methods suitable for joint attacks in the secret method left by the Burning Dust Venerable.

Only three to five star-level peak slaves are needed to explode comparable to the terrifying combat power of the universe-level second and third tiers!

The most important thing is that these forces can be randomly applied to any slave, so that attacks are ubiquitous.

In addition, all the people who traveled were all uniform tier 3 force armor and tier 3 Vulcan suits.

Lin Ye hadn't given much thought to his own defense, but Chan'er and Babata had brought it up.

With everything ready, Lin Ye, as the initiator of this voyage, directly requested Huo Rong to perform a divine kingdom teleport.

According to Huo Rong's king-level immortal divine kingdom teleport, it would only take a day to directly reach the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's capital.

Lin Ye was naturally happy about this.

...

In the vast universe, a pyramid-shaped, silver-white spaceship was gradually becoming clearer.

The surrounding space rippled slightly, like water waves.

This mechanical race spaceship, carrying the seeds of Earth, decelerated from more than ten times the speed of light to zero, emerging from the dark universe.

Buzz buzz buzz!!!

Lin Ye and the others only felt a slight ripple in the spaceship, and then the 100% virtual scenery around them gradually became clear.

Whoosh!!!

In the vast starry sky, a huge, crystal-clear planet appeared in the distant view.

This was a giant planet emitting a shimmering white light, and even the Azure Dragon Star was less than one ten-thousandth of its size.

Furthermore, this magnificent planet was surrounded by super-large satellites.

Beyond these satellites were floating asteroid belts.

"Lord Lin Ye, that is the capital star of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and the others are its satellites!"

Babata said excitedly, "I used to come here with Doy, one of the nine immortals under my master, and it was very prosperous!"

"Doy?" Lin Ye frowned slightly.

"She was an immortal god under the old master, a foreign race who was skilled in spiritual power! Of course, her strength is naturally no match for Lord Huo Rong!"

As he spoke, Babata did not forget to look at Huo Rong, who was dozing off to the side, and said with a smile.

"Yes, I understand!"

Lin Ye nodded, looked at the shimmering white Black Dragon Emperor Star, and said in a deep voice, "We'll go to the Black Dragon Mountain's capital for a stroll first, and then go explore the Black Flame Star's world master world!"

"What do you say, is that good?"

"Good!" The crowd said in unison.

"Towards the Black Dragon Emperor Star, set off!"

With Lin Ye's order, the entire silver-white spaceship flew straight towards the distant Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
