Chapter 1 Standing on the Terrace

Xu Jingming nodded, walked out of the study, and came to the terrace.

Standing in front of the terrace railing, looking at the myriad lights of this living planet, and the faint sight of some flying vehicles in the distance, Xu Jingming felt very happy. He could feel the transformation of his own spiritual power.

"The Yuanchu Star is truly magical. As the visualization becomes more and more detailed, and closer to the real Yuanchu Star, the spiritual power can be transformed accordingly," Xu Jingming praised.

This is one of the three strongest inheritances of the human race. Throughout history, countless outstanding evolutionaries have used it to step into the universe legend, and some have even used it to become high-dimensional beings.

Of course, there are only three human high-dimensional beings still alive today.

"High dimension!"

Xu Jingming had a strong premonition that he would definitely succeed this time.

"Transcend the universe spacetime and get rid of them!" Xu Jingming's transformed spiritual power instantly mobilized the more vast power of the Yuanchu Battle Armor. The No. 9 Yuanchu Battle Armor is the treasure of the Yuanchu Research Institute. The energy it contains is simply incredible. Even after years of research, with a great increase in knowledge and a transformation of spiritual power, he can still only mobilize a small part of it.

"Boom!"

Xu Jingming felt that the power he was mobilizing was much greater than in the past. If he was like a small bird flapping its wings and flying high before, now he was like a roc soaring into the sky!

"Swish swish swish~~~"

The many spacetime layers that were originally very restrictive became very weak after the power soared.

Like a hot knife through butter! He instantly and completely broke free from the shackles!

Xu Jingming disappeared from the terrace out of thin air.

"Me?"

Xu Jingming looked around, extremely astonished.

In his vision, the universe spacetime shrank a lot in an instant. Xu Jingming's gaze could observe a range of more than ten light-years around him!

"A perfect spherical starry sky with a diameter of 12.8 light-years, I can actually see it clearly at a glance?" Xu Jingming was very surprised. From his perspective, the range of 12.8 light-years was greatly reduced.

It shrank like a three-dimensional model in his field of vision.

He could see the front, back, left, right, inside, and outside of this model clearly.

Everything within this 12.8 light-year range, even the flow of light, was clearly visible to Xu Jingming. The flow of light became very slow. Those stars and planets felt as fragile as toys.

"Little Nine, is this the high-dimensional perspective?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Accurately speaking, it is the viewing angle of a source life in high-dimensional space. If the master becomes a high-dimensional life, the feeling of viewing will be even more different," Little Nine responded.

Xu Jingming understood.

Although he had entered high-dimensional space, his eyes were still the eyes of a 'source life.'

He really didn't know what it would be like for high-dimensional beings to watch.

"Master, you have indeed entered high-dimensional space now, but you can't see any other matter or creatures in high-dimensional space," Little Nine said. "The 12.8 light-year diameter you are currently observing is the range in which you can walk in high-dimensional space with relatively high precision. If you want to escape to a farther place... it won't be so precise."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly, overlooking the perfect spherical universe space with a diameter of 12.8 light-years.

He had a feeling that as long as he wanted to, he could descend to any place within this range.

"Whoosh."

With a thought, Xu Jingming descended and appeared on a mountain peak of a desolate planet.

"High-dimensional travel," Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, Xu Jingming was performing high-dimensional travel, his figure appearing in one place after another, each time crossing several light-years.

Even the core of a star with violent energy that was not suitable for teleportation, even the cosmic energy storms that were not suitable for teleportation... Xu Jingming could still easily travel and appear.

"The energy fluctuations and spacetime chaos within this universe spacetime will not affect the master's high-dimensional travel," Little Nine said. "Unless their spiritual power reaches a high dimension, source lives cannot see high-dimensional space."

"Visualization method, twelfth level, spiritual power reaching high dimension," Xu Jingming nodded.

"Yes, if a certain source life's spiritual power reaches the threshold of high dimension, they can glimpse high-dimensional space. Only then can they discover the master, and only then can they attack the master who has entered high-dimensional space," Little Nine said. "Of course, they must also have high-dimensional power methods to threaten the master."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"Source lives whose spiritual power has not reached the high-dimensional threshold cannot hurt the master," Little Nine said.

"Whoosh."

Xu Jingming was already very skilled. With a thought, he had already left the universe spacetime and entered the state of high-dimensional space again.

In high-dimensional space, he was blind and deaf, but it didn't affect his entry here.

"What a wonderful feeling." Xu Jingming overlooked the perfect spherical space that looked like a model. The billions of humans on that living planet were even more insignificant, smaller than ants.

"So weak, I feel like I can erase them with a single thought." This thought appeared in Xu Jingming's mind, and there was also indifference in his eyes.

But then his expression changed.

In an instant, he returned to that living planet, back to his study.

"What's going on?" Xu Jingming sat at his desk, his face unsightly. "Why did I suddenly feel that erasing billions of humans was a normal thing?"

He had grown up from weakness and cared very much about ordinary people.

But just now, in high-dimensional space, that condescending feeling made him feel like he could erase everything within 12.8 light-years with a wave of his hand. He also knew that it was an illusion. His personal strength couldn't do it.

But that mentality was very abnormal!

"Master, your Light Chapter Visualization Method has reached the tenth level, and it resonates with the Yuanchu Star, so naturally your mind will become closer and closer to high-dimensional beings," Little Nine had a lot of experience from serving many masters. "Just maintain self-control."

"Practicing the Yuanchu Star Visualization Method will have some aftereffects," Xu Jingming murmured. "I didn't feel it before, but now I'm starting to feel it."

"The higher the master's mind, the stronger the feeling will be. At that time, more self-control will be needed," Little Nine said.

Xu Jingming nodded: "I know, there are records in the inheritance that in the process of visualizing the Yuanchu Star, the higher the realm, the more self-control is needed. If you can't control yourself... you will be assimilated by the Yuanchu Star and fall into final self-destruction. It is impossible to become a high-dimensional being at all."

"It's very difficult to become a high-dimensional being," Little Nine said. "The birth of every Supreme Realm existence is the result of experiencing countless crises. Master, following the dean's path has already reduced many dangers."

Xu Jingming nodded.

His Visualization Method was only at the tenth level, and he had only resonated with the Yuanchu Star for the first time, so the impact was not great. The further he went, the greater the impact would be.

This was already the best way for the human race to improve their spiritual power! The aftereffects were relatively small.

"Little Nine, when I used high-dimensional travel just now, I felt the source of power of the Yuanchu Battle Armor," Xu Jingming said. He was able to travel in high dimension by borrowing the high-dimensional power contained in the Yuanchu Battle Armor.

Otherwise, relying purely on himself to display high-dimensional power would require being a universe legend.

"That is source matter," Little Nine explained. "It is the 'source of power' of the numbered Yuanchu Battle Armor. High-dimensional travel is only the easiest high-dimensional means for Little Nine to display. As the master accumulates more knowledge in the future, he will also display other means."

"High-dimensional travel, will source matter be consumed?" Xu Jingming asked.

"Yes."

Little Nine said, "No power is infinite! To unleash enough power, there must be consumption. Like the Prison Clan fusing some high-dimensional space objects to display high-dimensional power, it also consumes high-dimensional objects, and even the self-backlash is very large."

"Even the Supreme Realm existences with eternal lifespans are constantly consuming huge amounts of energy, and at the same time, they need to replenish energy to form a balance," Little Nine said. "Even if the Yuanchu Battle Armor is left there unused, it will slowly wear down. The consumption is greater when used. The consumption is even greater when using high-dimensional means."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"When the master no longer needs me, I will return to the Yuanchu Research Institute and receive a supplement of source matter," Little Nine said. "The master has also seen that the research institute has many battle armors! Why aren't they distributed on a large scale? It is because they want to save 'source matter'. Source matter is the energy obtained by the dean from high-dimensional space, and it is very precious."

"No wonder," Xu Jingming understood. There, he saw many numbered Yuanchu Battle Armors, and hundreds of drops of black hole-like battle armors, but none of them were distributed. Now he understood.

The more terrifying the battle armor, the greater the consumption when used, and it would not be easily distributed. Some even required the dean's consent.

On the contrary, the dean didn't care about those ordinary Yuanchu Battle Armors and could let generations of source lives use them.

"Little Nine, with my current strength, I should be able to go to the front line of the war with the Prison Clan, right?" Xu Jingming said. He had applied to go to the front line many times over the years, but he had not been allowed.

"After the master's spiritual power is transformed, he can better exert the power of the battle armor. Spacetime and light-based moves can generally reach the peak power of the tenth order. Plus high-dimensional travel!" Little Nine said, "The master's strength is already close to some 'crowned kings' of advanced cosmic civilizations."

"Close to a crowned king?" Xu Jingming smiled, "It's still far off. To be able to serve as a crowned king of an advanced cosmic civilization is itself a tenth-order peak source life and has successfully mastered high-dimensional weapons. Their deterrent power is much stronger than mine."

"But master, you can dodge. The No. 9 Yuanchu Battle Armor is the best at escaping among the numbered Yuanchu Battle Armors," Little Nine said. "Surviving is very important."

Xu Jingming had self-knowledge.

In terms of destructive power, he was not as good as the crowned kings of advanced cosmic civilizations, nor was he as good as Mr. Jian, Mr. Yang, and others.

"I can't defeat the Prison Clan's top monarchs, but I can still suppress ordinary tenth-order monarchs," Xu Jingming thought to himself. Immediately, with a thought, he sent another letter applying to go to the front line through the virtual world network.

...

Yuanchu Research Institute Headquarters.

The wide and fat Vice-Dean Chi Meng looked at the battle report on the light screen and frowned: "The situation in the Tianmang Universe Domain is getting worse and worse! Among the three universe domains bordering the Prison Clan, the Tianmang Universe Domain is under the leadership and guard of our Yuanchu Research Institute, but its recent performance has been really average."

"There's no way," Secretary-General Hei Tian said from the side, "The Prison Clan is very crazy, treating death as an honor. And our human source lives are relatively more concerned about their own lives. After all, 'resurrection' requires the consumption of merit points, and many ninth-order source lives do not have enough merit points. If they die, they really die."

Vice-Dean Chi Meng nodded.

The battle attitudes of the two sides were different. The Prison Clan would only retreat and evade when faced with suicidal missions, otherwise, they were fearless of death. Human source lives were more concerned about cherishing their lives. After all, each of them had a civilization and a group of forces behind them, so how could they easily go to their deaths?

"The recent deterioration of the situation is related to the Prison Clan's Monarch Moyou," Secretary-General Hei Tian said. "The leader of the Prison Clan in the Tianmang Universe Domain has recently been replaced by Monarch Moyou! Monarch Moyou can become one of the Prison Clan's top ten monarchs, and his strength is beyond doubt. The high-dimensional power he has mastered is called the 'Nightmare World', which is the invasion of a high-dimensional illusory world... and it is difficult to resist."

"We don't have enough top powerhouses in the Tianmang Universe Domain," Secretary-General Hei Tian said.

"We can't transfer universe legends, can we? Universe legends are mainly used to deter the Void God Clan," Vice-Dean Chi Meng said. Suddenly, he saw a letter.

"Xu Jingming's strength has broken through?"

Vice-Dean Chi Meng was surprised. "He has mastered high-dimensional travel, which can greatly deter the Prison Clan."

"High-dimensional travel?"

Secretary-General Hei Tian was a little surprised. "Those tenth-order source lives, some study high-dimensional weapons, some buy high-dimensional space objects, some exchange for cosmic treasures... but very few can master high-dimensional power. Xu Jingming can travel in high dimension so quickly?"

"Those people can't compare with Xu Jingming," Vice-Dean Chi Meng said with a smile. "After all, his talent is no less than mine. Let him go to the front line! Let his shadow completely shroud the Prison Clan!"

Vice-Dean Chi Meng smiled and signed his name, issuing the transfer order.
