Chapter 1 Observing the Future

It took Gu Mo five years to observe the future branches of the three territories before he finished.

"I observed a total of 92 future branches in the other three territories, and I didn't find any doomsday," Gu Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Obviously, this doomsday is only aimed at the Feng Yi Ninety-seventh Territory."

"I wonder what caused this doomsday."

Gu Mo was also a little puzzled.

There was no other way. The high-dimensional space also had all kinds of crises.

Eternal Realm high-dimensional life forms, nominally eternal, actually only have an average lifespan of about one Abyss Epoch. The master of a ruin that Xu Jingming had explored, 'Da Meng Ke' (Dream Wanderer), was an extremely powerful Eternal Realm expert of the Mind Realm lineage, yet he only lived for half an Abyss Epoch.

A half-step Third Realm expert was already considered very powerful in the high-dimensional space, but living for ten Abyss Epochs was considered a very long lifespan.

"Is it a crisis naturally bred by the high-dimensional space, or a crisis brought about by the existence of the Third Realm?" Gu Mo pondered. A game by a Third Realm existence could be a catastrophe that affected countless living beings.

Gu Mo looked outside, through layers of obstacles, to the burly figure outside the door.

"Wu Ke," Gu Mo said.

Outside the mountain, the burly figure guarding the area immediately said respectfully upon hearing the voice in his mind, "Ancestor."

Gu Mo, following the karma, already understood some things outside: "I already know about Tu Tie Mu's matter."

"Ancestor, how should it be handled?" the burly figure asked respectfully.

Gu Mo said calmly, "The human Wu Ming is another future Eternal Realm expert of the human race, and also of the Mind Realm lineage. It's normal for Tu Tie Mu to suffer a bit when he encounters a future Eternal Realm expert of the human race."

"An Eternal Realm expert of the Mind Realm lineage?" The burly figure was very surprised. The Void God race hadn't seen an Eternal Realm expert of the 'Mind Realm lineage' for a long time.

Gu Mo didn't care.

Observing the future lines, seeing a large number of high-dimensional life forms rising and falling, a human Wu Ming was too insignificant.

"Tu Tie Mu created experimental subjects, but instead drove himself crazy." Gu Mo instructed, "Don't bother with him! If he has any ability, he'll wake up on his own! If his original memories of tens of thousands of years are suppressed by illusionary memories and he can't wake up, there's no need to save such a waste."

"Yes," the burly figure responded respectfully.

"Have the nine Venerable Ones come to me," Gu Mo instructed.

The burly figure was secretly shocked.

There were still some Eternal Realm existences in the Black Lotus Realm, but the 'Nine Venerable Ones' referred to the strong members of the Void God race itself, and were also the core upper echelon of the Black Lotus Realm.

A moment later.

In a towering hall, Gu Mo sat high in the main seat, with the nine Venerable Ones below.

"Ancestor, what important matter have you summoned us for?" A thin figure said with a smile.

"Discuss how to carry out the great migration of the race," Gu Mo said. "A complete migration, leaving the home universe."

The nine Venerable Ones were stunned.

"A race migration?"

"This, this..."

"The entire race?"

They couldn't believe it. After all, the race had been in their home universe since its birth, and it had been that way for a long time.

"Yes," Gu Mo nodded. "A great calamity is about to arrive, and the race must migrate."

"Back then, it was the half-step Third Realm 'Meng Ha Duo' who died in our home universe, causing many high-dimensional life forms to fight for his legacy, and the aftermath caused countless races in the entire home universe to suffer great extinction. Only then… did our Void God race gestate and be born," said Venerable Yun Cang. "With the Ancestor's strength, even if we encounter a similar catastrophe again, you will be able to protect the home universe. What kind of catastrophe is it that even the Ancestor can't stop?"

The nine Venerable Ones all looked at Gu Mo.

"The information about this catastrophe must be kept secret," Gu Mo swept his gaze over them.

"Yes," the nine Venerable Ones all responded.

Gu Mo then said, "This catastrophe will affect our 'Feng Yi Ninety-seventh Territory'. Once the catastrophe arrives, all universes and all living beings in this territory will fall into great extinction. Even half-step Third Realm existences are bound to die in the face of such a catastrophe."

The nine Venerable Ones' expressions changed.

A catastrophe affecting the entire territory?

"The entire territory is vast and boundless. Even Eternal Realm existences must pass through special channels such as the Mother River and the Mind Realm to leave this territory," the thin figure said. "Ordinary Eternal Realm existences can't even leave this territory."

Different territories were spatially isolated.

Ordinary Eternal Realm existences couldn't cross them, let alone nascent high-dimensional life forms.

"Ancestor, there are many difficulties in carrying out a large-scale migration with the race. First, the weaker the members of the race, the more demanding they are on the environment. Those planetary life forms can't even survive in the cosmic starry sky. Therefore, during the great migration, a sufficiently safe environment is needed for them to survive. Second, our Void God race was born and bred in our home universe, and the rules of our home universe are the most suitable for us. If we migrate to other living environments, and the rules of the living environment are not suitable, it may lead to a large number of deaths and extinctions within the race."

"Life forms at the Origin Life level have a good chance of surviving under drastic environmental changes. But Starry Sky life forms and Planetary life forms die more easily the weaker they are."

"Ancestor, will the race migration be small-scale or large-scale?"

The nine Venerable Ones asked.

"Large-scale, even for planetary life forms, at least 10% must be migrated," Gu Mo said.

"10%?"

The nine Venerable Ones felt the pressure. This scale was too large.

"I will ask other high-dimensional life forms to help customize a 'small universe' with universe rules that imitate our home universe as much as possible. At least 90% similarity must be achieved. As for how many can survive, that will depend on luck," Gu Mo said.

"Customize a small universe?" The nine Venerable Ones were all delighted.

There were quite a few who were good at creating small universes, but it was extremely difficult to customize one where the universe rules could imitate a real universe by more than 90% and be suitable for weak planetary life forms to survive.

"I will arrange the matter of customizing a small universe. You must prepare the other matters as soon as possible. The race must undergo a great migration within one Abyss Epoch. The longer the delay, the more likely unexpected events will occur," Gu Mo urged. In the future branches he had observed, the time of the doomsday's arrival was not fixed. It could be later, or it could be earlier.

"Yes," the nine Venerable Ones also felt the pressure.

A great race migration, leaving their home territory and going to an unfamiliar territory, would encounter many troubles. If the Void God race wanted to reproduce and survive on a large scale, they would still need to find a suitable real universe in the future.

The original territory forces would not easily allow them to take root.

"Ancestor, other races in our home universe will definitely discover our great migration," the thin figure said.

"If they discover it, they will be confused and uneasy, and I believe they will be willing to pay the price to buy information," Gu Mo said calmly. "The price we pay for this great migration is very high. At that time, we can just harvest these alien races once to make up for some of our losses."

"Just spending resources to buy news about the doomsday is already a favor," the nine Venerable Ones also thought it was normal. They cared more about their own race. As for alien races? They had never cared about them.

Home Universe, Human Territory.

Xu Jingming's hundreds of avatars walked on planet after planet, observing the emotions of the human world and integrating them into his own 'Mind Intent Reincarnation Realm'.

"Mind Intent Reincarnation Realm."

Xu Jingming would practice every time he gained something.

He guessed that if Tu Tie Mu possessed and sensed, he would sense the 'Mind Intent Reincarnation Realm', but he did not hide it.

"I only started creating the Mind Intent Reincarnation Realm after experiencing the first two levels of the *Eight Directions Diagram*. If Tu Tie Mu has no foundation and doesn't even have the Pure Lotus Heart, and comes to sense and create the Mind Intent Reincarnation Realm… perhaps, he will fall into the bitter sea of reincarnation." Xu Jingming just had a thought, so he deliberately left such a move. Whether it could succeed was up to fate.

Suddenly, hundreds of avatars all smiled.

"Success."

"I finally passed the test of the *Eight Directions Diagram* book," Xu Jingming was delighted. The latest Mind Intent Reincarnation Diagram he created passed the test of the third level of space, and he finally cultivated the 'Mind Intent Realm'.

"Reaching the 'Mind Intent Realm' of the *Eight Directions Diagram* is considered a small achievement," Xu Jingming could feel his own progress.

Originally, his Pure Lotus Heart was like a pure lotus, like a clear mirror, untouched by all dharmas. This was the transcendence of the self.

But the Joy-Rage Realm, the Seven Colors Realm, and the Mind Intent Realm of the *Eight Directions Diagram* deepened the degree of control over emotions.

"Completely control all emotions."

Xu Jingming could see everything clearly, and could clearly distinguish his various emotions, and even the entanglement of different emotions.

…

Yuan Chu Research Institute headquarters, Xu Jingming's residence.

Xu Jingming was here, using the flowers of sin to condense the Pure Lotus Fire.

"Everyone says that the word 'love' is the most manipulative," Xu Jingming watched the endless sins in the flowers of sin, "But now in my eyes, emotions can be classified as one, two, three, four, five…"

"Single category, mixed category, transcending life and death category."

Why could some emotions shake the soul?

Why could some emotions transcend life and death?

Xu Jingming knew it clearly. He could even create such an illusion to allow living beings to experience such emotions.

"There is desire, then there are emotions! With emotions, there are sins," Xu Jingming looked at the endless sins. If they were some puppets or machines, they would have no emotions. Even if there was great slaughter, there would be no sins.

Truly terrifying sins must have sufficiently strong emotions integrated into them, whether it was love, hate, or some other emotion.

"Beset by sins?"

Xu Jingming already had the demeanor of a true expert of the Mind Realm lineage, manipulating sins to condense the 'Pure Lotus Fire'. His only shortcoming now was that the Mind Realm power he could use was too weak.

After all, he was just a low-dimensional life form. Compared with high-dimensional life forms, he was not even an infant. Weak Mind Realm power limited his strength.

If the Mind Realm power he used greatly increased, both the illusion and the Pure Lotus Fire could reach new levels.

"The realm of the mind determines the level of secret techniques."

"Let me see the deeper test of the *Eight Directions Diagram*," Xu Jingming felt the help the *Eight Directions Diagram* gave him, and had already begun the fourth level of cultivation in the Mind Realm territory.
