Chapter 1 The Virtual World

In the virtual world network.

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

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

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

When the final limit is broken and the 'speed of light' is reached, it will possess all sorts of incredible high-dimensional abilities.

"Once you master the 'Light Transformation' ability, you only need the lifeform to draw inspiration from the 'Primordial Star Flame' and completely transform into light, forming a Primordial Star Flame body. Then you can break through and become a high-dimensional lifeform," Xu Jingming thought.

Although the Primordial Star Flame is precious, the Primordial Research Institute always has it available for exchange each time it opens.

"No wonder Xuan thought that 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 'Light Transformation' is not so easy to master."

"Light Transformation, Infinite Light, Annihilation Light… different directions of the light lineage can all reach high 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. Like Infinite Light, it requires oneself to be strong enough, oneself being like a 'miniature Primordial Star,' to enter the high-dimensional life level. Only then can the emitted light be called 'Infinite Light.'

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

Yes, all aspects of 'high dimensions' are conjectures. After all, there are not many 'scholars' who have devoted their lives to studying scientific knowledge and whose mental power has reached high dimensions! They can only rely on some data left by the Supreme Realm to speculate, and some results are just 'conjectures.'

Relying on these conjectures, and with 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 obviously did not put all their energy into the path of science. Because science, at its deepest level, requires outstanding talent.

Historically, the three Supreme Realms have mostly come into contact with scholars with more than 150 levels of education.

Compared with scholars with more than 150 levels of education, the three Supreme Realms all felt like they were illiterate! Their millions of years of research were not as fruitful as a cup of tea's worth of gains for such scholars.

Moreover, after their own education level exceeded 100, the three Supreme Realms felt that continuing to study would obviously affect their evolutionary path and create more confusion.

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

"The scientific explanations are truly thorough," Xu Jingming said in admiration, a smile appearing on his face. The feeling of absorbing knowledge is indeed wonderful. He is still quite far from level 100, and is in a period of rapid improvement.

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

In one month, the Primordial Research Institute will open credit exchanges!

This exchange list is naturally made public in advance, so that everyone can prepare in advance.

"Secretary-General Hei Tian said that this exchange will release a relatively large number of treasures," Xu Jingming carefully looked at the list.

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

Xu Jingming was stunned and immediately opened the more detailed introduction.

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

He once relied on these 36 Primordial Fire Pearls to fight for a long time, and only later abandoned these thirty-six Primordial Fire Pearls.

Historically, they have been provided to members of the Primordial Research Institute for exchange many times! Due to various accidents such as war, 12 Primordial Fire Pearls have been completely lost.

The Primordial Fire Pearl was refined by the Director, imitating the 'Primordial Star.' Carrying it with him day and night to observe, it has the effect of enhancing the mind.

Primordial Star lineage evolvers, using the Primordial Fire Pearl, are expected to unleash high-dimensional power.

The Primordial Fire Pearl contains the core nine chapters of the《Primordial Star Conjecture》, and has various abilities such as contemplation, protection, killing enemies, and escaping. Because it was originally used by the Director, it is necessary to cultivate the《Primordial Star Conjecture》to a very high level in order to unleash high-dimensional power, making the threshold extremely high. However, once successfully used, its power is also extremely great.

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

"This is a miniature Primordial Star, refined by the Director, naturally most suitable for the《Primordial Star Conjecture》."

Xu Jingming did not hesitate, he must exchange it.

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

Moreover, the price of 500 million credits is probably something that not many people can afford to exchange.

"Fortunately, my current credits rank first, giving me the first choice," Xu Jingming didn't look at the treasures behind, and determined that the Primordial Fire Pearl was a must-have!

Xu Jingming continued to look at other treasures.

"Two, Abyss Fire Lotus Seeds (five), exchange price: 200 million credits, limited to one per person."

Xu Jingming's eyelids twitched. Two hundred million credits? The exchange price is really high. He immediately opened the detailed introduction.

Abyss Fire Lotus Seeds: Lotus seeds of the Flame Lotus that grow in the 'Abyss' of high-dimensional space! It has the effect of resisting external forces and guarding the mind, and can nourish mental power, greatly enhancing all aspects of mental ability. One Abyss Fire Lotus Seed can nourish the mental power of a tenth-order source lifeform for about a thousand years.

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

Studying knowledge, studying high-dimensional power, sometimes a flash of inspiration is enough for a breakthrough.

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

"Three, Starry Sky Mirror (only one), exchange price: 150 million credits, limited to personal use."

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

Of course, it is most suitable for 'Mirror Domain' lineage evolvers.

Seeing the introduction of the Starry Sky Mirror, Xu Jingming thought to himself, "We at the Primordial Research Institute don't have many who specialize in the spacetime lineage. For the experts on the Spacetime Island, they have more suitable high-dimensional weapons. This one is more like it's prepared for Senior Brother Jian."

The treasures released by the Research Institute also consider what the official members are good at, what they need, and how many credits the members probably have, etc.

For example, the Primordial Fire Pearl! Its true value is naturally more than 500 million credits. But because it is for internal members, that's the price that was set.

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

"Four, Mo Xing-level Primordial Battle Armor (100 pieces in total), exchange price: 100 million credits, limited to one piece per person, limited to personal use."

This is the Primordial Research Institute's battle armor second only to the numbered level.

"Five…"

"59, Skyfire Needle (10 needles in total), exchange price: 50 million credits, limited to one per person."

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

Xu Jingming's eyelids twitched. What would happen if a true Primordial Star Flame touched someone? The consequences were frightening to contemplate.

……

"100, Primordial Star Flame (300 wisps in total), exchange price: 30 million credits, limited to three wisps per person."

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

Tenth-order source lifeforms of the Primordial Star lineage who have some ambition will have at least one wisp of Primordial Star Flame.

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

Xu Jingming's heart stirred when he saw this, and he immediately checked the detailed information. This Universe Fruit was indeed sold by him to the Primordial Research Institute, and this time the Research Institute took out one for public exchange.

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

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

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