Chapter 1 Virtual World, Personal Space Training Ground

In the virtual world network, inside his personal space training ground, a distant waterfall cascaded down like a white silk ribbon, crashing into the pool below. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the valley, his mind growing ever more tranquil.

"My personal combat power panel shows that both my spearmanship and footwork have broken through to the eighth level, which means my *Tianmang* Evolution Method (Heavenly Python Evolution Method) also has a chance to break through to the perfected Starry Sky lifeform!" Xu Jingming was quite expectant.

Among the countless human civilizations in the vast universe, many civilizations have never had an eighth-level Starry Sky lifeform throughout their entire history.

And he, as the one with the highest achievement on the path of evolution in the Blue Star civilization, was about to take this step.

"Let's begin."

Xu Jingming rose to his feet and began practicing the Starry Sky lifeform chapter of the *Tianmang* Evolution Method.

"Matter and energy combine as one."

"To promote the ultimate and complete energization of the physical body." Xu Jingming practiced each move and stance with meticulous care, experiencing it in detail. His sufficiently powerful mental strength perfectly controlled every cell in his body, as if each cell possessed its own will.

He guided the transformation of the cells.

The transformation of each cell was naturally the transformation of the entire body.

"Boom."

After practicing only a dozen or so moves, terrifying flames began to rise from the surface of Xu Jingming's body. This was because the 'heat' of each cell was too high. The heat released by all the cells converged to form terrifyingly high-temperature flames.

"The final transformation of the Starry Sky lifeform chapter of the *Tianmang* Evolution Method has begun."

"One must undergo three transformations before performing the final energization."

Xu Jingming practiced with focus.

The transformation of fire lasted for more than half an hour. Xu Jingming's spirit was somewhat exhausted, and the energy within all the cells in his body was incomparably perfectly coordinated and unified, all returning to the same frequency.

The originally blazing high-temperature flames turned into a halo, surrounding Xu Jingming's body.

The halo seemed ordinary, but in reality, it was even more terrifying, even significantly affecting the magnetic field.

Xu Jingming was like a celestial body!

"Hu." As Xu Jingming's mind wavered slightly, his rising energy level rapidly declined. Xu Jingming shook his head slightly and also restrained all his power.

"My control over the physical body and energy is still not pure enough." Xu Jingming also understood the problem. He did not expect that the day his spearmanship broke through to the eighth level, his Evolution Method would also break through.

The Evolution Method also had a familiarization process.

...

Blue Star, Xu Jingming's home.

Xu Lixing, the little chubby girl, was sitting in her father's arms, eating snacks and watching a match on the light screen.

"Fight, fight, beat him." The little chubby girl waved her small fists, her eyes bright and full of fighting spirit.

"This little girl is starting to like watching matches now." Li Miaomiao said, "Teaching her to read and count, she loses patience in ten minutes. But watching various matches, various livestreams… she never seems to get tired."

Xu Jingming hugged his daughter, smiling as he watched the scene. "I can see that! Even when I log off to accompany her, she still wants to watch the match."

"Xu Lixing," Li Miaomiao called out.

"What?" The little chubby girl glanced at her mother.

"Across Blue Star, your dad is the most powerful. The highest-ranked person on the Starry Sky榜 (Starry Sky Ranking) is your dad. Why aren't you watching your dad's matches and instead watching these junior group matches?" Li Miaomiao said.

The little chubby girl clenched her fist. "In the future, I'm going to compete in the junior group matches, so of course I have to watch the junior group matches!" She said it with confidence.

Xu Jingming looked at his daughter, also feeling the wonder of life.

As she slowly grew bigger, his daughter was also changing rapidly, with differences from month to month. She used to be very attached to her father, but now she was starting to like watching matches.

"I wonder what my daughter will become in the future?" Xu Jingming was also quite expectant.

...

These days, besides occasionally spending time with his family to relax his mind, Xu Jingming focused on studying the *Guangxian* chapter (Light Ray chapter) and repeatedly attempted the *Tianmang* Evolution Method.

Finally, on the twelfth day after leaving the Subjugate Demons world.

"Boom."

The high-temperature flames rising from Xu Jingming's entire body transformed into a terrifying halo, and then the terrifying halo completely converged into his body.

Transformation of fire, transformation of the life magnetic field, transformation of hibernation.

"Finally reached the last step. Endless energy is completely restrained and gathered, hibernating within, breaking through in one fell swoop!" Xu Jingming felt that all the cells in his body had exploded to their limit, but the endless energy that had exploded was completely restrained, causing each cell to reach a certain limit.

His entire body was on the verge of a complete explosion at any moment.

"Energization."

Xu Jingming slowly extended his hands upwards, and the energy in his body surged along with it. Finally, boom—

Xu Jingming's eyes completely turned into dazzling light!

His entire being—head, torso, hands, and feet—all turned into dazzling light.

A figure condensed from light appeared.

"Physical body energization." The light figure whispered, "Success."

When breaking through to the eighth level for the first time, physical body energization was very prone to causing a major explosion. Controllable 'physical body energization' was extremely difficult, but Xu Jingming had stabilized it.

This was related to his experience with physical body energization in the mysterious land.

Otherwise, he would have had to experience several uncontrolled explosions before absorbing the experience and completely mastering it.

"Back then, on the 'neutron star' in the mysterious land, I was practicing spearmanship at the same time as physical body energization." The light figure smiled. "It's just that my mental strength was always insufficient before, and I couldn't energize myself. Today, I finally did it."

"No need to rush. I'll try a few more times in the virtual world before breaking through in reality."

After all, if energization failed in reality and he exploded completely, it would be a huge problem.

******

Xu Jingming was very patient. After successfully breaking through the Evolution Method in the virtual world, he tried it many more times. After repeated successes, he patiently waited three more days, making himself more familiar with the Evolution Method and giving himself a greater grasp of it.

In reality, at home, in the cultivation room.

"Let's start the breakthrough." Xu Jingming was very formal, closing the door of the cultivation room and forbidding anyone from disturbing him.

Just like in the virtual world, he practiced the same Evolution Method.

Hu.

High-temperature flames rose from his entire body. Xu Jingming continued to cultivate, the high-temperature flames transforming into a halo, and then he cultivated again, the halo converging and merging into his body.

"Hibernation transformation."

Xu Jingming slowly extended his hands upwards.

Boom!

Xu Jingming became dazzling in an instant, turning into a radiant light figure.

The light figure stood in the cultivation room, observing its surroundings.

"Congratulations, Master, on successfully breaking through to the eighth-level Starry Sky lifeform." The intelligent voice of the Primordial Star Battle Suit rang out.

"Thank you," the light figure said with a smile.

"After joining the Primordial Research Institute for a year, I've finally become an eighth-level Starry Sky lifeform." All the light converged, returning from the energized state to the physical state, turning back into Xu Jingming's original appearance.

"Master's cultivation speed is still quite fast," the Primordial Star Battle Suit intelligent said.

"With the experience in the mysterious land, the *Guangxian* chapter inheritance, the ice flower spirit liquid, and the repeated mental demon refinement in the Subjugate Demons world… I was able to break through to the eighth level in a year," Xu Jingming said with emotion.

"If I hadn't gone to the mysterious land back then, if I hadn't been cultivated, I'm afraid it would have taken hundreds of years to reach the eighth level," Xu Jingming thought.

The experience in the mysterious land itself was a form of cultivation.

Not to mention the *Guangxian* chapter. This was Xu Jingming's largest database of information on the path of evolution, guiding Xu Jingming towards the Supreme Realm. Of course, there were also many source lifeforms who had obtained the core chapter of the *Yuan Chu Xing Cai Xiang* (Primordial Star Conjecture), but wanting to become a Supreme existence? It was extremely difficult.

All sorts of opportunities allowed Xu Jingming to progress rapidly.

"It is precisely because you, Master, are excellent enough that you can receive a flood of resources," the Primordial Star Battle Suit intelligent voice said. "With Master's talent, even without the mysterious land, you would gradually shine over time and would also receive a flood of resources. A genius… will eventually shine."

Xu Jingming smiled. "You sure know how to say nice things."

"I am stating the facts," the Primordial Star Battle Suit intelligent said.

"Send me the information monitoring the entire Blue Star," Xu Jingming said.

"Yes, Master," the Primordial Star Battle Suit intelligent responded.

Immediately, a large amount of information was transmitted over.

Xu Jingming felt very relaxed. After reaching the eighth-level Starry Sky lifeform, the brain's processing ability was much stronger than before. The monitoring information of the entire Blue Star was vast and immense, but Xu Jingming was able to fully grasp it in an instant.

Among the monitored information…

There were seven cosmic tourists!

In the countless civilizations of the universe, there were naturally all kinds of people with different pursuits. Some people spent their entire lives observing newly emerging civilizations. Now that the Blue Star civilization had just integrated into the cosmic family, cosmic tourists had come.

Those who could easily travel in the vast universe all had extraordinary backgrounds.

For example, among these seven cosmic tourists, one was from a cosmic elementary civilization, five were from cosmic intermediate civilizations, and one tourist was even from a cosmic advanced civilization!

The Blue Star civilization specially sent people to serve them all the way, fearing offending them. Because once a conflict occurred, the light consequence would be a civilization diplomatic dispute, and the heavy consequence would be a catastrophe.

"Fortunately, these cosmic tourists have no malicious intent," Xu Jingming thought.

"Under the deliberate infiltration of the Black Moon civilization, the people of Blue Star are learning more and more about the Black Moon civilization." Xu Jingming's mood was also somewhat complicated. "The more they understand, the more the people of Blue Star feel that the Black Moon civilization is too powerful."

The Black Moon civilization was many times stronger than the Blue Star civilization.

Many Blue Star people had knelt down.

They took the initiative to please!

They were willing to serve them! To earn the salary issued by the Black Moon civilization.

"I can only watch all of this continue." Xu Jingming had no choice. Whether it was according to the rules of the Primordial Research Institute or for the future of his hometown civilization, he had to maintain complete secrecy now.

Only when he became a ninth-level source lifeform would it be the time to make it public.

"These are just minor troubles, some storms in the process of the Blue Star civilization's rise," Xu Jingming said softly. "Close the monitoring information transmission."

"Yes," the Primordial Star Battle Suit intelligent immediately interrupted the transmission.

Xu Jingming disappeared silently from the cultivation room, arriving in the high altitude dozens of miles away out of thin air.

With the Primordial Star Battle Suit's concealment and hiding, he did not worry about being exposed.

"Let's try the feeling of flying with my own strength." Xu Jingming no longer relied on the Primordial Star Battle Suit, but instead relied on his own energy.

Boom!

In an instant, he turned into a beam of light, disappearing over the city of Binhai.

He flew over the ocean and saw the Cherry Blossom Country.

He flew over the Cherry Blossom Country and then flew over the vast ocean, finally seeing another continent.

Feeling that he had already flown to the other side of the planet, Xu Jingming finally stopped. Below him was the Pampas Republic.

"Master, your average speed is 203 times the speed of sound," the Primordial Star Battle Suit intelligent said.

"At the beginning of the eighth level, I have a speed of 200 times the speed of sound." Xu Jingming soared into the sky, quickly flying into outer space, suspended in the air, looking at the endless starry sky from afar. "Physical body energization, as long as I am willing, a full-force strike is enough to destroy most of a planet. A few more strikes would be enough to exterminate the surface of a planet."

"But such strength is still insignificant in the face of the technology of a cosmic civilization." Xu Jingming was wearing the Primordial Star Battle Suit.

With the Primordial Star Battle Suit, he could unleash the destructive power of the basic level of a ninth-level source lifeform.

He knew very well how terrifying this destructive power was.

"The power of the Primordial Star Battle Suit is enough to wipe out the Black Moon civilization's garrison with a single slap. And this is only the most basic destructive power of a source lifeform." Xu Jingming stood in the outer space of Blue Star, looking at the endless starry sky. "I'm really looking forward to the day I become a source lifeform."

"And before that, I must continue to hide and disguise."

"Disguise myself as a seventh-level Starry Sky lifeform."

No one on the entire Blue Star, including his family, would know that he had broken through to the eighth level! With the Primordial Star Battle Suit's disguise, everyone, including the Black Moon civilization, would think that he was only a seventh-level Starry Sky lifeform.

"Becoming an eighth level is just the beginning." Xu Jingming looked at the most dazzling sun in the endless starry sky.
