On the grass, Xu Jingming sat at a table, studying the knowledge of the Yuanchu Star Conjecture regarding the light lineage.

"To become a cosmic legend, creating a 'high-dimensional lifeform' suitable for oneself is extremely difficult. But some paths are exceptions! For example, ‘transformation into light’ within the light lineage," Xu Jingming understood.

A source lifeform is already powerful! For such a powerful lifeform, the closer its speed gets to the 'speed of light,' the greater the limitations and obstacles become, even to the point of significantly distorting the flow of time.

When the ultimate limit is broken, reaching 'light speed,' it will possess all sorts of inconceivable high-dimensional abilities.

"Once you master the ability to 'transform into light,' you only need to have your lifeform emulate the Yuanchu Star Flame, completely transforming into light and forming a Yuanchu Star Flame body, and then you will break through and become a high-dimensional lifeform," Xu Jingming thought.

Although the Yuanchu Star Flame is precious, the Yuanchu Research Institute always offers it for exchange each time it opens.

"No wonder Xuan thought that giving him another ten or twenty thousand years would be enough for him to perfect himself," Xu Jingming understood this point. "It's just that the path of 'transforming into light' is not so easy to master."

"Transformation into light, endless light, annihilation light... Different directions in the light lineage can all lead to higher dimensions." The more Xu Jingming studied, the more he felt that the light lineage was too vast. Even the reproduction and growth of countless creatures, plants, and animals in the universe require light.

The mysteries of light are integrated into every part of the universe. For example, endless light requires oneself to become strong enough, oneself resembling a 'miniature Yuanchu Star,' to step into the high-dimensional lifeform level. Only then can the light released be called 'endless light.'

Knowledge at the tenth level is already the most profound knowledge within the real universe, beginning to include many conjectures about 'high dimensions.'

Yes, everything regarding 'high dimensions' is conjecture. After all, there are not many 'great scholars' who dedicate their lives to studying scientific knowledge and whose mental power reaches the high-dimensional level! They can only rely on some data left by the Supreme Realm to speculate. Some of their achievements are 'conjectures.'

Based on these conjectures, and with the help of some high-dimensional objects, they have indeed created some terrifying 'high-dimensional weapons,' the most outstanding of which is the human race's forbidden weapon.

Although the three Supreme Realms can live in high-dimensional space for a long time, they have clearly not devoted all their energy to the path of science. Because science, at its most profound level, requires exceptional talent.

Historically, the three Supreme Realms have mostly come into contact with great scholars with education levels exceeding 150.

Compared to great scholars with education levels exceeding 150, the three Supreme Realms all felt like illiterates! Millions of years of research by them would not equal the harvest of such a great scholar's cup of tea.

Moreover, after their own education level exceeded 100, the three Supreme Realms all felt that continuing their studies would significantly affect their path of evolution, creating more confusion.

That's why the Dean only wanted Xu Jingming to reach an education level of 100.

"The explanations of science are truly thorough." Xu Jingming praised as he read, a smile appearing on his face. The feeling of absorbing knowledge was indeed wonderful. He was still quite far from level 100, and was in a period of rapid improvement.

Just as Xu Jingming was studying—"Hmm?" Xu Jingming received a notification. "The Yuanchu Research Institute's exchange list?" With a light tap, Xu Jingming saw it.

In one month, the Yuanchu Research Institute will open the merit exchange!

This exchange list was naturally released in advance, so everyone could prepare.

"Secretary-General Heitian said that this time, the exchange will release more treasures." Xu Jingming carefully looked at the list.

"1. Yuanchu Fire Pearl (only one), exchange price: 500 million merits, limited to personal use. After the exchanger's lifespan reaches its limit, the Yuanchu Research Institute will recover it at the original price."

[PS: By the way, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use for chasing books. Download it here yeguoyuedu and everyone can try it quickly.]

Xu Jingming was stunned as he read, immediately opening a more detailed introduction.

After the Dean of the Yuanchu Research Institute became a high-dimensional lifeform, he collected high-dimensional materials to refine a total of 36 Yuanchu Fire Pearls. Each Yuanchu Fire Pearl was like a 'miniature Yuanchu Star.'

He once relied on these 36 Yuanchu Fire Pearls to fight for a long time, only giving up these thirty-six Yuanchu Fire Pearls in the later stages.

Historically, they have been offered for exchange to members of the Yuanchu Research Institute multiple times! Due to wars and various accidents, 12 Yuanchu Fire Pearls have been completely lost.

The Yuanchu Fire Pearl was refined by the Dean, emulating the 'Yuanchu Star,' and carrying it with him for daily observation, has the effect of enhancing the mind.

Yuanchu Star lineage evolutionists, using the Yuanchu Fire Pearl, have a chance to display high-dimensional power.

The Yuanchu Fire Pearl contains the core nine chapters of the 'Yuanchu Star Conjecture' mysteries, with various abilities such as contemplation, protection, enemy killing, and escape. Because it was originally used by the Dean, one needs to cultivate the 'Yuanchu Star Conjecture' to an extremely high level to unleash high-dimensional power. The threshold is extremely high, but once successfully unleashed, its power is also extremely great.

The explanation was quite long, making Xu Jingming's eyes turn red as he read.

"This is a miniature Yuanchu Star, refined by the Dean, so it naturally best fits the 'Yuanchu Star Conjecture.'"

Xu Jingming did not hesitate. He had to exchange for it.

"Usually, the most expensive item for exchange is one or two hundred million merits. Releasing a 'Yuanchu Fire Pearl,' is it deliberately prepared for me?" Xu Jingming also thought, after all, Secretary-General Heitian had mentioned it.

Moreover, with the price of 500 million merits, probably not many people can afford to exchange it.

"Fortunately, my current merits rank first, giving me the first choice." Xu Jingming didn't look at the treasures behind, and was certain that the Yuanchu Fire Pearl was a must-choose!

Xu Jingming continued to look at other treasures.

"2. Abyssal Fire Lotus Seed (five available), exchange price: 200 million merits, limited to one per person."

Xu Jingming's eyelids twitched. 200 million merits? The exchange price was really high. He immediately opened the detailed introduction.

Abyssal Fire Lotus Seed: The lotus seed of a fire lotus grown in the 'Abyss' in high-dimensional space! It has the effect of resisting external forces and protecting the mind, nourishing mental power, and greatly enhancing all aspects of mental abilities. One Abyssal Fire Lotus Seed can nourish the mental power of a tenth-level source lifeform for about a thousand years.

"Greatly enhance all aspects of mental abilities? Can maintain it for about a thousand years?" Xu Jingming was tempted.

When studying knowledge and researching high-dimensional power, sometimes a flash of inspiration leads to a breakthrough.

What is a flash of inspiration? It is actually an aspect of the mind. "I must exchange for one," Xu Jingming thought.

"3. Starry Sky Mirror (only one available), exchange price: 150 million merits, limited to personal use."

The Starry Sky Mirror contains a miniature universe spacetime! It is more suitable for 'spacetime lineage' evolutionists.

Of course, it is most suitable for 'mirror domain' lineage evolutionists.

Seeing the introduction of the Starry Sky Mirror, Xu Jingming secretly thought, "We at the Yuanchu Research Institute don't have many people who focus on the spacetime lineage. For the experts on the Spacetime Island side, they have more suitable high-dimensional weapons. This item is more like it’s prepared for Senior Brother Jian."

The treasures released by the Research Institute also consider what the formal members are good at, what they need, and how many merits the members roughly have, etc.

For example, the Yuanchu Fire Pearl! Its true value is naturally more than 500 million merits. But because it is for internal members, the price is set at this level.

Many precious treasures are half-sold and half-given to internal members. Like Xu Jingming's No. 9 Yuanchu battle armor, it was simply given! Because Xu Jingming, who had just broken through at the time, was too poor and couldn't afford it at all.

"4. Ink Star-level Yuanchu battle armor (100 available), exchange price: 100 million merits, limited to one per person, limited to personal use."

This is the Yuanchu Research Institute's battle armor that is second only to the numbered grade.

"5..."

"59. Skyfire Needle (10 available), exchange price: 50 million merits, limited to one per person."

A one-time high-dimensional weapon containing a wisp of true Yuanchu Star Flame! Once activated, its power is terrifying. Reminder: If the Skyfire Needle doesn't touch the enemy, it naturally won't be effective.

Xu Jingming's eyelids jumped as he read. What would be the consequence of being contaminated with true Yuanchu Star Flame? Just thinking about it was terrifying.

...

"100. Yuanchu Star Flame (300 wisps available), exchange price: 30 million merits, limited to three wisps per person."

Without a doubt, Xu Jingming would definitely exchange for the Yuanchu Star Flame.

Tenth-level source lifeforms of the Yuanchu Star lineage who have even a slight pursuit will possess at least one wisp of Yuanchu Star Flame.

"182: 'Flame Body' Cosmic Fruit (limited to one), exchange price: 12 million merits, limited to personal use."

Xu Jingming's heart stirred when he saw this, and he immediately checked the detailed information. This cosmic fruit was indeed what he sold to the Yuanchu Research Institute. This time, the Research Institute took out one for public exchange.

"200. Guardian (limited to 10), exchange price: 10 million merits or 10 trillion universe coins, limited to one per person."

"300. Evolution Guide (limited to 100), exchange price: 5 million merits or 5 trillion universe coins, limited to one per person."

The Evolution Guide is a scientific crystallization of the human race that can assist humans in efficient evolution according to the scientific route. An ordinary human, with the guidance of the Evolution Guide, is almost certain to become an eighth-level Starry Sky lifeform, but the probability of becoming a source lifeform is so low that it can be ignored.
