676 Xu Jingming's Mission



Dean Chu surveyed the vast space beyond Myriad Star Island, his expression grave. "There are all kinds of dangers in high-dimensional space, and this time, our entire Fengyi 97 dominion will face an apocalypse. The only way to survive is to escape this dominion before it happens.

"The Void Celestials have already begun their migration. The apocalypse was publicly sold by four half-step third-realm powerhouses who signed an Abyss contract. It's authentic."

Dean Chu said worriedly, "Spacetime Island Lord can escape using the Mother Stream, and Jingming is good at Heart Realm teleportation. It's not difficult for the few of us to escape, but the difficulty lies in how we can migrate our species."

"Yeah." Eternal Tower Master had a solemn expression. "The weaker humans can't handle harsh environments. Origin lifeforms can survive in high-dimensional space, but cosmic lifeforms would find it difficult to adapt. Although they can survive in their home universe, they might not be able to survive in different cosmic environments in another universe. As for the weakest planetary lifeforms…"

"Even in our home universe, planetary lifeforms have to reproduce and survive on habitable planets. New universes, new cosmic rules… Can planetary lifeforms survive? This is a huge problem." Eternal Tower Master looked at Xu Jingming. "This problem will be your task, Xu Jingming."

"Me?" Xu Jingming asked. "How?"

Spacetime Island Lord interjected, "Bring human criminals to the universes in the other dominions for survival experiments. Try them one by one. Carry out hundreds, if not thousands of experiments before we decide on a universe that's most suitable for us humans."

With a flick of her wrist,Spacetime Island Lord produced a crystal jade tablet and handed it to Xu Jingming. "This is the information I gathered from trading with the other high-dimensional lifeforms in the Mother Stream. It contains general information on the 1,987 surrounding dominions."

"Nearly 2,000 dominions?" Xu Jingming examined the tablet, which contained a wealth of information, from the dominions' layout to their power structure, half-step third realm factions, and locations. Everything was recorded in detail.

"The information is detailed enough." Xu Jingming was very satisfied.

He had always been aware of the vast expanse of high-dimensional space, but Spacetime Island Lord had gone above and beyond in gathering intelligence on the numerous dominions.

"High-dimensional space is infinite," Eternal Tower Master said. "The nearly 2,000 surrounding dominions are minuscule in comparison."

"We need intelligence, no matter the cost," declared Spacetime Island Lord. "Heading to other dominions will not be easy. Even I will need several years to reach the nearest dominion, and ten years for a round trip. For those further away, it could take centuries, even millennia."

"And we need human criminals to carry out survivability experiments in other universes," she added. "It's a daunting task, and I cannot spare the time. You are the only one with the power to experiment with multiple dominions and universes."

Dean Chu chimed in, "Her body guards Myriad Star Island, and she can't be away for long. Moreover, you're indeed the most suitable person to explore other dominions."

Xu Jingming nodded. "Alright, leave it to me! I'll do my best."

As it concerned the future survival of his species, Xu Jingming naturally did his best.

"Oh right, how do we transport the human criminals needed for the survivability experiments?" Xu Jingming asked, perplexed. "They are very weak. How can they survive the journey?"

"With this." Spacetime Island Lord produced a black cube from somewhere. "This is the largest Spacetime Prison I've ever built."

Spacetime Prison? It looked like the prison he had been locked in when he had lost control, but this cube was much larger. Countless people were trapped inside, motionless.

This prison was much larger than the one that imprisoned Xu Jingming. It appeared very empty even with tens of billions of people imprisoned inside.

"Time is frozen in the prison," explained Spacetime Island Lord, "so the human criminals won't be harmed during the journey. However, it's not easy to maintain the time freeze. The more living beings in the prison, the harder it is."

"There are ten billion human criminals inside. Other than more than 10,000 cosmic lifeforms, the others are planetary lifeforms. This is already the limit of this prison. Any more, and time won't be able to stand still. All of them have committed heinous crimes. They were originally sentenced to death and were urgently transferred over for the survivability experiments."

Xu Jingming nodded in understanding.

Stopping time was no easy task. It was even harder to keep time frozen for ten billion people.

"This is the best way we can temporarily find for migrating humans." Dean Chu sighed. "We can only migrate ten billion people at a time."

"The cost of building this Spacetime Prison is equivalent to an Eternal weapon," Spacetime Island Lord added. "I've only built two for the time being."

Xu Jingming thought for a moment before asking, "If we can only migrate ten billion people at a time, how will the human race migrate in the future? There are quadrillions of newborns every day, and the human race is spread across 34 cosmic sectors."

"Yeah, there are ten quadrillion newborns a day." Dean Chu sighed. "It's too difficult to migrate the entire species."

"Our abilities are limited," Eternal Tower Master said softly. "The best solution would be to use a pocket universe to migrate our species, but it has to be extremely similar to our home universe.

"Third-realm existences can create a true universe. Half-step third-realm existences only have a chance of creating a suitable pocket universe."

"We learned that the Void Celestials hired a half-step third-realm powerhouse from another dominion to help create a miniature universe. However, the cost was exorbitant and not feasible for us." Eternal Tower Master shook his head.

Xu Jingming fell silent.

Received the help of half-step third-realm powerhouses from other dominions?

"We'll find a way to save the species," Dean Chu said with a smile. "The Spacetime Prison is one option, but we'll come up with something better. Your mission, Xu Jingming, is to find a new universe for humans to live in—that's where the future of our race lies. This mission is crucial."

"I understand." Xu Jingming nodded. "I'll leave within the next two days after making preparations."

"Don't be in such a rush," Dean Chu cautioned. "Exploring new dominions is dangerous. You may encounter powerful enemies who can target you through karma even though you're from the Heart Realm lineage. You're a high-dimensional lifeform, but you're only at the Firstborn realm. If you're not careful, you could die."

Xu Jingming acknowledged the warning.

"You must make yourself stronger," Dean Chu continued. "The high-dimensional fruit you obtained can take you to the peak of the Firstborn realm. The legacy you inherited also has life-preservation methods. And don't forget the Sin Flower I bought for you; it should be of some help."

Eternal Tower Master interjected, "Finding a new universe for humans is important, but your safety comes first. If you die, our mission is a failure."

Redmond watched from the side.

As an ordinary Firstborn realm high-dimensional lifeform, he could only watch helplessly.

"I'll be careful." Xu Jingming nodded.

******

Within his Heart Realm domain, Xu Jingming had carefully moved all of his prized possessions from the Primordial Research Institute headquarters for safekeeping. It was safest here!

My strength is multiplied by dozens, or even a hundred times, within my territory. It was the one place he felt completely secure.

High-dimensional fruit.

He produced a black fruit from his collection, one that was massive in size within the auxiliary universe but small and unassuming in his true body's grasp.

I'm told that it can elevate one's body to the pinnacle of the Firstborn realm. Without hesitation, Xu Jingming devoured the fruit in a single gulp, feeling the intense heat spread throughout his entire being as he chewed and swallowed.

This power…

Xu Jingming gazed upward and caught a glimpse of the Primordial Star, which emitted endless flames and was home to a gargantuan entity that seeped into countless dominions—the Abyss.

The power contained within the fruit had a sliver of the Primordial Star's and Abyss's power. As the fruit's power surged through his body, it gradually altered his basic life structure he created.

What was once a simple foundation became increasingly complex, producing layer upon layer of intricate structures. And in the span of half an hour, his entire body grew to be 10,000 times larger than before.

Flames and blood now coursed through him as part of the structure.

His body naturally changed as a result of the increased complexity of the basic structures. He remained cross-legged in his Heart Realm, now a mountainous figure exuding immense power.

Monhado's fruit can enlarge people? Xu Jingming smiled. Monhado had devoured universes. Compared to him, I'm not even a baby.

Xu Jingming could sense his transformation.

My strength and speed have increased dramatically. Being from the Heart Realm lineage, I'm not good at strength and speed to begin with, but the high-dimensional fruit has changed all that. Xu Jingming was in a good mood. Strength and speed aren't important to me, but with this increased size, the Heart Realm Force I can carry will also increase significantly.

The Heart Realm Force I control is more than a hundred times stronger. Xu Jingming was delighted. The body is indeed the foundation of everything. The stronger the body, the more Heart Realm Force I can control.

Now, I'll condense Cleansing Lotus Fire.

Xu Jingming flipped his hand and took out the Sin Flower.

With the Sin Flower before him, Xu Jingming poured a massive amount of Heart Realm Force into it, using the endless sins to begin condensing the Cleansing Lotus Fire.

Xu Jingming's mind, consciousness, and high-dimensional strength expanded beyond the bounds of cosmic legend as a high-dimensional lifeform.

Now that the high-dimensional fruit had modified his body, the Heart Realm Force Xu Jingming grasped became massive again. It would be too easy to cultivate Cleansing Lotus Fire all over again.

Buzz.

In a second, the Cleansing Lotus Fire advanced to the Cleansing Lotus Four-leaf realm.

Buzz.

With the Eight Directions Map's exquisite control over the Intent realm and the vast Heart Realm Force, Cleansing Lotus Fire reached the Cleansing Lotus Four-leaf realm in another three seconds.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

His Red Lotus Fire was improving at a terrifying speed.
