Chapter 1 The Beginning

Xu Jingming stood in the high-dimensional space, stroking his chin as he looked at the tiny 'universe star model' before him. He gently shook his head. "My high-dimensional observation can only see a range of 60 light-years. It's degenerated to this extent."

Before being contaminated, the high-dimension could observe a range of more than 3,600 light-years in diameter, but now it has shrunk dramatically.

"I can only maintain consciousness with the Ice-Cold Wine now. Almost all of my mental power is used to suppress chaotic thoughts. The mental power available for combat is extremely limited. I can still use high-dimensional methods, all thanks to Xiao Jiu's low barrier to entry," Xu Jingming sighed. "Xiao Jiu, thank you."

"You're welcome," Xiao Jiu immediately responded. Its master had been contaminated by the high-dimension for a year, and it still hadn't fully adapted to the current master.

Its past master had such a good temper! Now it was just too strange.

"The current me is pathetically weak. The only high-dimensional moves I can use are High-Dimensional Travel and Time-Space Shuttle. These are moves I could use when I was a ninth-order source life."

Xu Jingming thought that even though his life was now more powerful, his knowledge accumulation had reached the limit of his tier, and he had the Number Nine Primordial Battle Armor, he could only use a tiny bit of mental power. He couldn't even use more complex moves, and his strength had greatly declined.

"Beep." High-dimensional descent—Xu Jingming transformed into a light-like flash.

"Avatar of the Primordial Star." Xu Jingming tried to activate the Primordial Fire Pearl in his body, but his meager mental power couldn't activate it at all.

"The Primordial Fire Pearl's moves are completely useless." Xu Jingming shook his head after trying.

"Master, you only have High-Dimensional Travel, and Time-Space Shuttle can also be considered a high-dimensional method. The Primordial Star lineage has completely degenerated. With the help of the Primordial Battle Armor, you can only exert the strength of a tenth-order limit," Xiao Jiu said.

"With my current strength, I can only bully the ninth-order of the Prison race. I can't kill even the more difficult tier of cosmos lords," Xu Jingming sighed.

"Compared to before the high-dimensional contamination, Master has made progress in one area, and that is the body," Xiao Jiu said. "Master's body has been contaminated and transformed by the third realm's high-dimensional power. Even without the protection of the Primordial Battle Armor, ordinary high-dimensional power cannot harm Master."

"It's not very useful if I can't stop the high-dimensional power." Xu Jingming didn't care. The powerful opponents he encountered all mastered high-dimensional power. Before, in the team led by the tenth-order battle star, many of his subordinates mastered high-dimensional power.

"Don't worry so much. Let's go eat first. There's nothing to eat on that island at the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute. A piece of grilled meat is considered a feast. It's really pitiful."

Xu Jingming disappeared instantly and then appeared in the top-rated space restaurant on a prosperous administrative star. Xu Jingming enjoyed the delicacies and fine wine alone, overlooking the night view of the bustling city through the glass. A chef was preparing dishes next to him, precisely the most famous 'Galaxy Feast.'

"The third realm's high-dimensional contamination has greatly weakened my strength. That bit of mental power that I can't use can't visualize the Primordial Star. The Primordial Star lineage can only be temporarily abandoned." Xu Jingming was very clear about this. The path he had focused on for more than 300 years had to be abandoned.

"According to what the director and the Eternal Tower Master said, the only path for me now is to understand these contaminations, comprehend the high-dimensional power of these contaminations, and even control them in the future."

Xu Jingming thought, "The image of the Void Abyss Master contains all paths."

"With my talent, I have observed three paths in this past year."

"First, the path of the Dark Primordial Star. The Dark Primordial Star is also a part of the Void Abyss."

"Second, the path of the Devouring lineage. The Void Abyss devours everything. I can feel that this path is closely related to that monster in the auxiliary universe."

"I have a foundation in both of these paths. As long as I focus and believe, I will gain something in the future."

"But there is a third path." Xu Jingming's eyes burned. "I also saw the subsequent path of spearmanship on his body."

"I once thought that spearmanship skills were only limited to the eighth order and were of little use. They became useless after becoming a source life," Xu Jingming shook his head. "However, the figure of the Void Abyss Master contains the sequel to spearmanship. Spearmanship can also lead to the high-dimension. It can even go very far."

The Void Abyss Master was a great existence of the third realm's high-dimensional life. Past, present, future, cause, effect, spearmanship, swordsmanship, saber techniques...

All power belonged to the "Void Abyss." Many contaminated geniuses were fortunate enough to find a path out of the madness of contamination.

Xu Jingming saw three paths: the Dark Primordial Star, the Devouring lineage, and the spearmanship lineage. 'Three paths for me to choose.'

Xu Jingming's eyes were filled with fiery madness. "Spearmanship!"

Yes, when he saw the figure of the Void Abyss Master, the path that Xu Jingming felt the strongest and the most emotionally moved by was spearmanship.

The figure of the Void Abyss Master contained the ultimate, awe-inspiring path of spearmanship. When the heart is sincere to the spear and pure to the spear...

Xu Jingming stayed at the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute for a year. He didn't cultivate at all, mainly to stabilize his mind and observe his figure. The path of spearmanship—Xu Jingming watched his figure for a year, and he had some understanding. When Xu Jingming sat there drinking and thinking about his next cultivation plan, a group of people walked into the spacious space restaurant.

They were surrounding a pair of men and women. The young man was saying enthusiastically, "The Galaxy Feast in this restaurant is the most famous. Only the head chef can make it. Everyone, the Farlan family has temporarily booked this restaurant today. The Farlan family will pay for all the guests' consumption. Please leave." A middle-aged woman said, her eyes cold and used to being superior.

"The Farlan family? A big shot from the Farlan family has come to our Heart Planet?" Those who could afford to spend money here were quite wealthy on the planet, but when they heard the name of the Farlan family, they immediately got up.

The Farlan family was also quite a powerful family, with a family territory of 26 star systems. This planet was only one of the insignificant administrative stars in one of the star systems in the Farlan family's territory.

"Hurry up and leave." The guests were very wise. In the cosmic era, they had to know who they could provoke and who they couldn't.

Many guests in the restaurant got up, but Xu Jingming sat there eating and drinking. He had a lot of food in front of him, and the head chef was still cooking for him on the spot.

"You didn't leave?" The noble young man glanced at Xu Jingming. The woman beside him was also a little surprised. "A core member of the Farlan family, and there are still people who don't give face within the territory of the Farlan family."

"This guest." A subordinate immediately stepped forward, but Xu Jingming was holding a wine glass, looking at the scene outside, not even looking at these people.

"So noisy." Xu Jingming frowned slightly and said.

The group of people from the Farlan family disappeared out of thin air. The other guests in the restaurant stared blankly at this scene. The people were gone? Were they dead? Were they reduced to ashes? They looked at Xu Jingming with some horror. One person quietly slipped away, and soon only Xu Jingming was left in the restaurant.

"Continue serving dishes." Xu Jingming glanced at the head chef. "Don't be dazed."

"Yes, yes, yes." The head chef trembled, and the knife for cutting vegetables was shaking a little.

The group of popular members of the Farlan family appeared out of thin air in a garbage dump, slamming hard on the dirty garbage. Each of them had their faces smashed into the garbage pile. The group quickly got up, covered in dirt, but none of them dared to get angry.

"We're alive, we're not dead. Did someone directly teleport us here?" The young man was a little flustered.

"Did we offend a source life?" We, the Farlan family, have five source lives in this generation, including a tenth-order source life. This person acted directly, I'm afraid he's not an ordinary source life," the dirty middle-aged woman said worriedly.

"Let's go, let's go—hurry up and leave this planet." The young man didn't bother to coax the woman beside him. The group quickly boarded a spaceship and left the planet.

Xu Jingming's mood was not affected by this group of idiots at all. He was a very reasonable person. Let him leave halfway through his meal? Giving them a punishment was enough—it wasn't a crime worthy of death.

"Hmm," More than an hour later, Xu Jingming got up with satisfaction and looked at the head chef. "Not bad, no wonder you're so famous. Your cooking is very good. I'm very satisfied with today's meal."

The head chef and other waiters were very respectful—afraid that this terrifying guest would be slightly dissatisfied.

"The Farlan family should come to investigate." Xu Jingming looked at him. "If they come, tell them the guest's name is Wu Ming."

"Wu Ming?" The head chef was stunned. "In the future, you can promote to the outside world that Lord Wu Ming appreciates your craftsmanship very much." Xu Jingming smiled slightly and disappeared into thin air.

The head chef and the waiters looked at each other. "Who is Wu Ming?" one of the waiters said.

"I don't know," another waiter said.

The head chef said nervously, "You are not cosmic citizens, you don't understand. More than 300 years ago, in the Hunter Cosmos Domain, there was an unparalleled genius named Wu Ming who became a source life. It is said that he was only about sixty years old at that time. At that time, the number of people watching his peak battles was countless. Although I have never watched the live broadcast, I have watched the video."

"A source life?" The waiters exclaimed.

"I heard that he is already a tenth-order source life," the head chef said, and then he smiled happily.

"Lord Wu Ming appreciates my craftsmanship very much. I'm going to make a fortune." Xu Jingming stepped away from the planet and came to a high-speed flying meteorite in space. The meteorite was very cold and silver-white. Xu Jingming sat on it. Because of the large number of chaotic thoughts in his heart, Xu Jingming paid great attention to his mood, and he had to keep himself in a "good mood" at all times.

Because a bad mood is more prone to loss of control, even if you rely on Ice-Cold Wine to suppress it, isn't it a waste of Ice-Cold Wine?

"Woo, I'm full of food and wine, and my condition is very good." Xu Jingming lay on the meteorite, and the meteorite behind him naturally twisted into a chair shape.

"I can start practicing spearmanship." A wisp of Xu Jingming's mental consciousness entered the virtual world network.
