Chapter 727: No Need to Think at All

The new skill star core begins charging.

This is a new term Jiang Chen coined, and it fits well.

During the charging, a person and a dragon continue the conversation they left off.

Antares asks, "Where did I leave off just now?"

"You said the two methods differ greatly…" Jiang Chen glared at the fellow, clearly realizing it was intentional.

Given Antares's level, how could he possibly forget where he was?

Antares forces a dry laugh and continues, "First, the first method: fully expose this small world within the great world, so that the small world can bathe in the great world's laws."

"The great world's law‑washing process will last for centuries; as the Lord of the World, you can easily comprehend the laws during that time. This is a privilege the great world grants to a newly‑emerged small world."

Jiang Chen asks in a deep voice, "What about the drawbacks?"

Nothing can have only benefits without any drawbacks.

With so many advantages, there must also be disadvantages.

Antares continues, "The drawback is obvious: once exposed, this small world loses the great world's law protection. The Lord of the World can be contested and replaced; when that happens, countless strong beings and dominant races will come, so I need not elaborate further."

The newly‑emerged small world is like a fragrant, steaming meat bun that everyone wants to bite.

Jiang Chen, as the lord of this world, is at the forefront,

facing the scramble of strong beings from all sides, Jiang Chen is not confident he can hold it.

Moreover, considering the safety of others in the world, the aftermath of a great war would bring disaster to the entire world,

others only desire the position of Lord of the World, only the privilege of the great world's law‑baptism.

Those foreign strong beings will not

care about the life or death of the native beings of this world.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen feels a chill down his spine.

He can imagine what the world would become without the great world's law protection.

His own small world is still far too weak.

Now, under the great world's law protection, a powerful and solid barrier surrounds the small world.

It is extremely difficult for other strong beings to invade.

They can only use special methods to breach this world.

Only under such circumstances does the small world have a sliver of self‑preservation power.

Seeing Jiang Chen's solemn expression, Antares continues, "If you choose this path, I can help guard the world. With me present, guaranteeing your safety is no big problem."

Jiang Chen understands Antares's meaning: guaranteeing his own safety is fine, but others are another matter.

If a true great war erupts, even the aftermath alone is beyond what ordinary people can endure.

Some strong beings might even destroy the world if they cannot obtain it themselves.

Jiang Chen asks, "How do other small worlds ascend?"

"The methods vary, but generally a great war is unavoidable. Some small worlds are in remote locations and go unnoticed during ascension. After a hundred years, the great world's law baptism ends, and then few people come to contest."

The remote location… clearly does not apply to his own world.

It hasn't even ascended yet, and it's already being watched.

And it's being watched by more than one race,

the Soul Clan Demon, forces within the Dragon Race, and that old man riding a blue ox…

Jiang Chen feels his world has become a tempting morsel in others' eyes—a truly headache‑inducing problem.

"The problem is, the world…

the world hasn't ascended yet; how did others discover it?"

Facing Jiang Chen's question, Antares sneers, "Then we have to talk about those guys from the previous era; it's useless to discuss now. Let me tell you about the second option."

"If you take the second option, you will leave this world on your own and enter the great world alone."

"In that case, you will miss the great world's law baptism, which is no benefit to your growth, but of course there are no drawbacks either."

"The advantage is that this world can still enjoy the great world's law protection, and its people can remain safe."

"Moreover, once you become the Lord of the World, you can further strengthen the world's safety; you will understand in time."

"You can wait until you are strong enough and possess the power to protect the world, then let the world ascend."

Antares lays out the pros and cons of both methods clearly; everything is left for Jiang Chen to decide.

Jiang Chen does not deliberate long; he already has an answer.

This world has people he needs to protect; he cannot let them be in danger.

He is not a great saint; he even kills without blinking and never shows mercy to enemies.

Those who have died by his hand include Demons, Dragons, deities, and members of the Human Race.

As long as someone becomes his enemy, he can kill them without hesitation.

Yet likewise, this world also contains his own relatives and friends.

He does not allow them to be harmed.

"I know what to do now," Jiang Chen says, having reached his answer.

Antares seems to have guessed Jiang Chen's choice, "Fine then."

With that, it slaps Jiang Chen once more.

Four times in a row,

activating his talent.

This time, Antares does not shout, and Jiang Chen remains silent.

Four consecutive slaps cause purple light to rise around Jiang Chen, and his talent is activated.

After three such rounds, this Skill Star Core finally became satiated.

It has turned into a blaze, leaping from an ordinary Skill Star Core to a perfect Star Rank Spell.

Antares appears again in Jiang Chen's soul world.

At the moment the Star Rank Spell truly takes shape, the tiny black dot in the Explosion is the scene it greatly wishes to see.

Jiang Chen also wants to catch another glimpse, though it's only a fleeting moment and he sees nothing.

But he must remember that feeling.

Antares tells him to remember first; there will be no mistake.

The fireball erupts, scattering light in all directions.

Jiang Chen again sees that tiny black dot at the center of the Explosion.

The tiny black dot lasts only half a second, and Jiang Chen's attention is infinitely focused.

He tries to extend this half‑second as much as possible.

Half a second is brief, and Jiang Chen still sees nothing.

Yet this tiny black dot exerts an infinite attraction on him.

It's not only for him; it should be the same for others.

Antares squints, his face full of fascination, and Jiang Chen knows this guy must have made a discovery.

Antares has said that it is something all strong ones wish to see.

Only the chance to see it is far too scarce.

Having provided such an opportunity himself, Antares seized it.

He hopes it can be of help to Antares.

If it truly can aid Antares, Jiang Chen also feels sincere joy.

Watching the already rising star, his soul jolts sharply.

That suppressed feeling resurfaces again.

"Great World Rune!"

Jiang Chen grits his teeth

, feeling as if it wants to devour a person.

The Great World Rune acts again.

Needless to say, this newborn, seemingly perfect Star Rank Spell likewise cannot bear the law.

The Great World Rune uses a method it cannot comprehend to limit its own growth.

This feeling is extremely annoying, yet there is no way out.

Fortunately, the Great World Rune cannot suppress the law carried by the Spell itself.

Casting aside the displeasure in his heart, he examines this newly emerged Star Rank Spell.
