Chapter 1 Memories Collide

　　Vast, chaotic memories flooded Xu Jingming's mind, yet his true memories became ever clearer. A multitude of "memories" collided, leaving Xu Jingming perplexed. *Who am I, and where am I?*

　　Ultimately, his true memories spanned over three hundred years, a period Xu Jingming had personally experienced.

　　His emotions, evolutionary path, and knowledge were all undeniably real, far surpassing the illusory memories. Thus, within ten seconds of opening his eyes, Xu Jingming was completely awake.

　　"I am Xu Jingming." He now had a clear understanding.

　　The dean, Eternal Tower Master, Space-Time Island Master, Vice-Dean Chihmeng, and Secretary-General Black Heaven were all observing Xu Jingming.

　　"He seems to be awake," the dean said with a slight nod. "To save you, the Eternal Tower Master and Space-Time Island Master put in a lot of effort."

　　Although Xu Jingming had never met the other two Supreme Realm experts, he could sense that the Eternal Tower Master and Space-Time Island Master's intangible life aura far surpassed Secretary-General Black Heaven and Chihmeng's. They were on the same level as the dean.

　　"Thank you, Dean. Thank you, Eternal Tower Master, Space-Time Island Master," Xu Jingming said, rising to his feet and bowing respectfully.

　　The dean looked at Xu Jingming. "Third Realm pollution is indeed terrifying."

　　The former Xu Jingming was also respectful, but he held more admiration and worship for his fellow Supreme Realm experts. Now, as Xu Jingming bowed respectfully, there was more apprehension and fear. It was as if a wild beast was naturally choosing to lower its head respectfully when encountering three even more terrifying beings.

　　"Xu Jingming, are you feeling confused, as if you're different from your past self?" the Eternal Tower Master asked.

　　"Yes," Xu Jingming replied. In his memories, his past self had a clear and bright mind, with a clear plan for his life and the future of the entire Blue Star civilization. He had taken each step in an orderly manner, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and was full of confidence in the future. But now, a large number of chaotic and evil thoughts churned deep within his heart. The extremely cold power suppressed the chaos, but it only allowed him to maintain a barely conscious state. Confusion and clarity intertwined, making Xu Jingming feel uncomfortable every moment.

　　"That's normal," the Eternal Tower Master said. "It will get better once you sort out your mind and gain control of yourself."

　　"Don't resist completely," the dean said. "The pollution of the Third Realm has already penetrated every part of your life. You can't resist it. You have to learn to accept it and absorb it."

　　Xu Jingming nodded. "Dean, what exactly happened to me? What is this Third Realm pollution?"

　　The dean explained, "The Void God race has five major inheritances, which are also the five most powerful inheritances in our universe. Gu Mo collected them in high-dimensional space at great cost and over a long period of time."

　　"The five major inheritances all originate from Third Realm high-dimensional lifeforms. In the contemporary Void God race, there are three people who have become cosmic legends by relying on the five major inheritances. Their strength is also among the most formidable in the cosmic legends."

　　"One of these three cosmic legends is called Tu Tiemu. It was he who invaded your mind and consciousness and projected the true image of the Lord of the Void Abyss into your mind and consciousness," the dean said.

　　"The true image of a Third Realm existence is completely polluting to lower-dimensional lifeforms. The Eternal Tower Master, Space-Time Island Master, and I tried every means to dispel it, but to no avail."

　　Xu Jingming naturally remembered the magnificent figure. Yes, his figure. Just thinking about it, Xu Jingming felt that it was incomparably grand. All the power he had understood in the past was just a minuscule part of Him. Even the Primordial Star, Xu Jingming felt, was a part of Him.

　　"Do you feel that the Space-Time lineage, the Primordial Star lineage, and all the knowledge you have accumulated are insignificant parts of the great figure of the Lord of the Void Abyss?" the dean asked.

　　"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded. Third Realm high-dimensional lifeforms were indeed able to unify all power.

　　"This level of lifeform's pollution is something you cannot resist now. Do you feel that almost all of your mind and consciousness is being used to suppress the chaos? And that you can only use a tiny bit of mental strength?" the dean asked.

　　"Yes, the mental strength I can use is less than 1% of my true mental strength," Xu Jingming said. "With such weak mental strength, I can't even visualize the Primordial Star."

　　"You need to divide your attention to suppress the chaos when comprehending any other path," the dean explained. "The only way is to comprehend the source of this chaos and understand the high-dimensional power that is polluting you, which is the power of the Lord of the Void Abyss."

　　"Comprehend it, master it, and it will gradually be tamed and even used by you," the dean said. "You don't have an inheritance, and you need to comprehend the power of a Third Realm high-dimensional lifeform, while also constantly suppressing the chaos. Just wanting to get started is very difficult."

　　Completely comprehending and mastering a part of the Lord of the Void Abyss's high-dimensional power and becoming a cosmic legend was extremely difficult. Using it as a foundation to construct a high-dimensional lifeform was even harder.

　　The dean looked at Xu Jingming. "In the history of the Void God race, with complete inheritances and resource support, only two people have broken through to become high-dimensional lifeforms using the five major inheritances," the dean said. "And those contaminated test subjects, without inheritances, even if they have exceptional talent and suppress the chaos in their minds to become cosmic legends, have never been able to become high-dimensional lifeforms."

　　The dean told Xu Jingming all the information. "This path is very difficult," the Eternal Tower Master said. "But this is the path of the Third Realm. If you succeed, your future will be vast."

　　"The Void God race is very confident. They have been contaminating geniuses of various races for a long time to become test subjects," the Space-Time Island Master said. "They never believe that alien races can use this to become high-dimensional lifeforms. In fact, no test subject has ever done it."

　　The dean, Eternal Tower Master, and Space-Time Island Master looked at Xu Jingming with anticipation. "The help we can give you is limited."

　　The dean handed a wine pot to Xu Jingming. "This is Ice-Cold Wine, brewed personally by the Eternal Tower Master. It's divided into six pots, all placed in the Primordial Research Institute headquarters. After you finish one pot, you can apply for a second."

　　The Ice-Cold Wine was too precious. The dean was also worried that Xu Jingming would die unexpectedly and lose all the Ice-Cold Wine. The Primordial Fire Pearl Number Nine and the Primordial Battle Armor were precious…

　　With the help of the Ice-Cold Wine, Xu Jingming's reason slightly gained the upper hand over the chaotic thoughts.

　　"Instead of constantly resisting it, I should learn to accept it?" Xu Jingming pondered, his eyes deepening.

　　Time flowed. During this period, Xu Jingming completely severed contact with the outside world. The Primordial Research Institute prohibited Xu Jingming from logging into the virtual world network for a year. Xu Jingming's influence and status were too high. He was now the number one person in the Wu Hook Star Alliance, with a group of Origin Lifeform friends who controlled high-dimensional power. Even most of the top tenth-order Origin Lifeforms in the universe's human race would give him face. If he harbored malicious intent, he could cause terrible destruction even through the virtual world network.

　　In the blink of an eye, a year had passed. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the grass, watching a furry alien beast cautiously sniffing around.

　　*Poof.* A bloody hole appeared in the head of the little alien beast. Watching the blood flow from the hole, a trace of excitement flashed in Xu Jingming's eyes. He got up and picked up the little alien beast's corpse. "I'll have grilled meat today."

　　Soon, the little alien beast was roasted fragrant. Xu Jingming took it down and placed it on a plate on a nearby table. He began to cut it up and eat it.

　　"Little Nine, I feel like my state is very stable," Xu Jingming said. "A year has passed. I can go out now, right?"

　　"Master, why don't you stay for another year?" Little Nine said timidly. The master's personality had changed too much. The master of the past was so gentle, but the current master was completely different.

　　"I think I'm fine as I am," Xu Jingming said, wiping his mouth. Not even the bones were left on the plate. "The past me was too naive, too well protected by the dean and the others." Xu Jingming got up. "I can't wait to go out and see this wonderful world."

　　Xu Jingming suddenly stopped and instructed, "Little Nine, I'm giving you an order. Before I become a cosmic legend, if I get close to the Blue Star civilization's territory or my family, you will take me directly back to the Primordial Research Institute headquarters."

　　"This order has the highest priority," Xu Jingming said softly. Only by mastering the Lord of the Void Abyss's high-dimensional power and becoming a cosmic legend could he guarantee that he wouldn't lose control.

　　"Yes!" Little Nine immediately replied happily. Little Nine had also gained some confidence in the master's temperament.

　　"I should go. You can't become a strong person by always hiding under protection," Xu Jingming said with a sneer. "Tu Tiemu, you fool, you're letting me be a test subject! Can you comprehend what I comprehend?"
