671 Making Great Strides Forward

Xu Jingming’s Intent Samsara World was imparted from a powerful high-dimensional ent.i.ty, Feather Fire Lord. Its power rested in the perfect control of emotions. The effects of the Intent Samsara World were undeniable.

Tutenmu had once possessed Xu Jingming, but even then Tutenmu lost control.

“Secretary General Blacksky, I have to warn you again. My illusory realm is powerful. If I see any signs of you losing control, I’ll shut it down immediately,” Xu Jingming warned.

“Ha! You are a low-dimensional cosmic legend while I’m a high-dimensional being. Do you really think I’ll lose control?” Blacksky’s huge eyes were filled with nonchalance. “I’m just worried your realm isn’t strong enough.”

“Okay, let’s get started,” Xu Jingming said, not elaborating further.

He was truly concerned that Blacksky would lose himself. This was because… Secretary General Blacksky wasn’t a high-dimensional being that evolved from a lower-dimensional form but was created by Dean Chu. Though he was highly evolved, his mind was relatively weak.

With a buzz, the customized Intent Samsara World descended and enveloped Blacksky’s consciousness.

His physical form lay still as if asleep, with closed eyes.

Xu Jingming stood in awe, staring at the ma.s.sive paw that loomed before him. It was as big as a small mountain and covered in layers of thick, black scales. The dark-red flesh that peeked out from beneath the scales was an eerie sight.

Xu Jingming fixated his attention on the nearest paw. As Secretary General Blacksky slightly picked up on the Heart Realm Force infiltrating him, the claws on the paw extended briefly, but he quickly regained control and held back from interfering with the process.

Secretary General Blacksky trusts me and is willing to let external forces infiltrate, Xu Jingming thought.

Xu Jingming was careful. He only allowed his Heart Realm Force to seep into Blacksky’s claws, refusing to infiltrate any other part of his body.

The most basic life structure unit.

The Heart Realm Force was constantly probing the innermost layer, the smallest life structure unit.

Even the smallest unit was vast and complex, billions of times more complicated than the structure of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps. Even as a cosmic legend, Xu Jingming needed to slowly observe and study it.

Huh?

Xu Jingming studied the unit carefully, sensing an energy flow in the life structure. Secretary General Blacksky is enjoying himself in the illusory realm, his joyful emotions fueling this portion of the structure with energy.

Xu Jingming observed and memorized the data received.

Joy.

Anger.

Ecstasy.

Shyness.

Anger.

Worry.

Fear.

Sadness.

Tears of joy…

Guilt.

Yearning.

Secretary General Blacksky was quickly sucked into the Intent Samsara World despite a slow start, and he felt every emotion with intense intensity. He was completely consumed by it, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

As expected of a high-dimensional lifeform. He can still stay himself despite being so immersed. Xu Jingming—the owner of the illusory realm—could sense that while Blacksky was lost in the realm, his self-awareness was still present. As soon as the realm faded, he snapped back to reality.

The illusory realm is breathtaking, but the Heart Realm Force used to create it is still too weak. Xu Jingming knew that if the realm was a thousand times larger, the force would become more infectious, and Blacksky would easily lose himself.

…

A living high-dimensional lifeform experienced all kinds of emotional fluctuations in the illusory realm.

Xu Jingming recorded every fluctuation, carefully tracking the energy circulation of the life structure units.

As the data piled up, the patterns became more and more apparent.

Emotions are critical to high-dimensional lifeforms, especially those of the Heart Realm lineage. A smooth flow of emotions equals success. It all made sense to Xu Jingming now, why he had failed every time before. My emotions were flawed.

This new perspective gave Xu Jingming new experiences, and with the experience gleaned from a thousand years of a.n.a.lysis and reflection, he combined both experiences!

Xu Jingming had a clearer understanding of the construction of a high-dimensional body. He felt he was on the ‘express’ lane to success.

In fact, the two Heart Realm lineage body structures the dean and others provided me had some shortcomings in the flow of their emotions as well. With this knowledge Xu Jingming also understood at this moment. In fact, constructing a high-dimensional body can succeed as long as one meets the minimum standards. There’s still a very large margin for error.

Although constructing a high-dimensional body was still a challenge, even for a low-dimensional lifeform like Xu Jingming, he was in high spirits. He could feel his rapid improvement.

Where it once would’ve taken thousands of years to figure it all out, he now believed he could succeed in just a few centuries, thanks to his increased experience with emotional fluctuations.

Li Chen’an, his wife, and Li Miaomiao came to a private planet.

“Dad, Mom, Sister.” A white-haired elder on the bed looked at them with a mix of envy and hopelessness.

He had once dreamed of advancing to the ranks of an Origin lifeform with the help of his brother-in-law, but that dream was shattered when he was banned from Earth and forced to give up all hope. Now, he was facing the end of his life.

Li Miaomiao looked at her brother. Although she had knocked on them and didn’t give them any hope, she still felt terrible seeing her h.o.a.ry brother on his deathbed.

“Brother, tell me what’s bothering you,” Li Miaomiao said.

Her brother lay there and shook his head.

“Sis, there’s nothing to worry about with you, Dad, and Mom by my side.” He smiled, his wrinkled face beaming. “I’ve come to accept my fate. When my time is up, I’ll close my eyes and take a nap.”

Li Chen’an and his wife felt helpless, unable to do anything to help extend their son’s lifespan.

Advancing someone to the ranks of an Origin lifeform was not something they could influence their son-in-law, Xu Jingming, to carry out.

“We went too far trying to extend our lifespans, Sis,” her brother said apologetically, his breath weakening. “We were too afraid of death. It wasn’t until I was faced with it that I realized it’s just a peaceful nap.”

Knowing that he was about to die, he accepted it.

“I’m sorry, Bro, I can’t help you extend your lifespan.” Li Miaomiao said, “Even within the Xu family, many don’t stand a chance.”

“I understand.” He nodded. “Don’t feel bad, Sis.”

“Don’t wait until the very end, Bro,” Li Miaomiao said. “You can pa.s.s away a few days early.”

Her brother was stunned. “What do you mean?”

He was Li Miaomiao’s brother after all, so he knew many secrets.

“Your sister told us the same thing,” Li Chen’an said. “Don’t live to the end of our lives.”

“If you die a few days early, you… all of you will have a chance of revival in the future,” Li Miaomiao explained.

“It’s just a glimmer of hope,” Li Miaomiao continued, “Even the three Paramounts can’t guarantee it. Your brother-in-law needs to reach a level stronger than them to have a chance of success.”

“A glimmer of hope is better than none.” Her brother’s eyes lit up. “Sometimes, what people fear most is the lack of hope.”

Li Miaomiao nodded.

The number of sp.a.w.n was immense, so she and Xu Jingming had made a practice of letting their relatives and friends die a few days early in order to give them a chance at revival in the future.

Their relatives and friends added up didn’t even reach 3,000—the quota was plenty.

…

Earth.

Li Miaomiao was back, but Xu Jingming was deep in the creation of a high-dimensional body.

“Jingming.” She approached him with an air of sadness, and Xu Jingming looked up from his work.

“Second Brother has pa.s.sed away.” She slumped into a chair, defeated.

“There aren’t many of us left from our era,” he said, reflecting on the many friends and acquaintances he had lost over the years.

“Can you really create the sp.a.w.n you mentioned?” Li Miaomiao asked.

Xu Jingming looked at her with determination in his eyes and promised, “I’ll do it, no matter what.”

He might not even be capable of doing so at the half-step third realm.

He had to use some specific methods and cultivate to the half-step third realm before having such capabilities. However, Xu Jingming was unprecedentedly determined; he would do this at all costs.

He could tolerate loneliness and the deaths of people he knew. However, he couldn’t accept… being alone forever!

That kind of longevity was meaningless!

“It’s not been long, but I miss so many people,” she said, a far-off look in her eyes. “Sister Kong, Xiaozeng, Sister w.a.n.g Yi, and the others… they’re all gone.”

Her voice trailed off as she remembered her best friends from long ago.

Xu Jingming took her in his arms and whispered, “We’ll meet again one day.”

In the Black Lotus Realm, within the Fengyi 97 dominion.

The half-step third-realm existence, Gumo, sat on his throne with nine supremacies beneath him.

“I’ve spared no expense and pulled some strings to get the help of a friend,” Gumo announced, flipping his hand to reveal a miniature universe in his palm. “This miniature universe is a remarkable 97% similar to our homeworld’s universe.”

“97% similarity?” The nine supremacies were surprised and delighted.

The laws of a universe were incredibly complex. In theory, only third-realm existences could create one from scratch. Therefore, it was amazing to have 97% of the laws emulated.

Gumo, who was half a step into the third realm, had a group of similar-leveled peers. He got a friend’s help and succeeded in 200 years.

Of course, if the other party wanted to study a universe, Gumo would have to pay a huge price as well as put in the hard work needed to imitate and create it.

“Begin the first batch of migration plans right away,” Gumo ordered. “We have to test the effects of this miniature universe on different forms of life. The first batch of migrants will be our test subjects.”

The nine supremacies came to a realization.

“We understand. We’ll gather data on the effects of the miniature universe on planetary lifeforms, cosmic lifeforms, Origin lifeforms, and species reproduction.” These supremacies had long made plans.

“Good. Uke, you will take the miniature universe back to our homeworld and help with the migration plan,” Gumo instructed.

“Yes, Progenitor,” his most trusted aide, Uke, replied and immediately took the precious miniature universe.

And so, the Void Celestials embarked on a comprehensive migration plan.
