Chapter 54 The Bitter Sea and Hope

Chapter 1 I Actually Have Memory Errors?

Xu Jingming, suspended in mid-air, gradually calmed down. "It seems the situation is already very serious!"

"Back then, after my mind was purified for foundation building, I practiced my mind, and I have now condensed it eleven times."

Xu Jingming pondered, "Condensing the mind is a difficult path. The further you go, the more you need to embrace, and the difficulty of refining impurities also increases continuously."

Embrace, refine, condense.

The less you embrace, the easier it is to refine. "I want to embrace 'Dark Origin', the more massive the information embraced, the more deeply rooted the 'impurities' become. Each time I condense my mind, I need to embrace more information and refine more impurities. If I can't refine the 'impurities', it will make my mind impure." Xu Jingming's expression was solemn.

"Those who obtained the *Void Abyss* inheritance, without high-dimensional pollution and without abnormal emotions, still find it difficult to grasp the power of the Mind Realm." "That's because..."

"If you want to condense the power of the Mind Realm, the massive information you embrace is enough to evolve your own Mind Realm. It is extremely difficult to completely refine so much information." Xu Jingming also understood why so few Void God Clan members succeed on this path. Seeing this path clearly does not mean one can walk it successfully.

"Even if the Void God Clan gets stuck in a bottleneck and finds it difficult to make progress, they won't lose control. After all, an impure mind isn't a big problem. Many tenth-order Origin Lifeforms don't have pure minds," Xu Jingming thought.

"But if I get stuck in a bottleneck, the trouble will be great," Xu Jingming worried.

"My mental power, on one hand, needs to suppress the chaos of high-dimensional pollution, and on the other hand, it also needs to suppress abnormal emotions."

"The more I cultivate towards the later stages, the more impurities there are! It is difficult to suppress chaos and abnormal emotions at the same time."

Xu Jingming had a headache. And now, he was beginning to experience memory errors. This was a sign of losing control.

"What to do?" Xu Jingming thought. "Actually, after my mind reached a high dimension, the impact of pollution was already relatively small."

Xu Jingming thought that the stronger his mind, the easier it would be to suppress the chaos of pollution. The stronger I am, the weaker the enemy becomes! "Abnormal emotions are the big problem. Because abnormal emotions take my mental power as their soil. The stronger my mind, the more intense the abnormal emotions become."

"Moreover, with time, the accumulation of abnormal emotions has an increasing impact on me." Xu Jingming carefully analyzed. Abnormal emotions are the core key! "Over the years, I have also tried to find ways to vent painful emotions. Although it has had some effect, it seems that the effect is not enough now."

Xu Jingming's eyes were cold. "To avoid losing control, there is only one other path—assimilate them!"

"Assimilate abnormal emotions! Let them become a part of my emotions. If painful emotions are a part of me, they will no longer disrupt my mind." Xu Jingming made a decision. He originally didn't want to choose this path and had been resisting abnormal emotions and venting abnormal emotions.

But now, it seemed he had no choice. After tasting all kinds of pain, getting used to pain... if pain is a part of me, abnormal emotions will become normal emotions. "Then I will regain absolute clarity." Xu Jingming overlooked this mineral planet and disappeared into thin air.

In the blink of an eye, six years had passed. Vion Star System, an ordinary life planet.

Inside a small tavern, the owner, Ning Wei, sat on an outdoor chair outside the tavern, watching the passersby in thought. Suddenly, he saw a tattered beggar whose eyes fell on him.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Ning Wei felt as if his soul had been seen through, which made his expression change drastically. He had too many secrets and could not allow his identity to be revealed.

"In the past three days, I have passed through 1329 life planets, observing hundreds of millions of living beings. The pain in your heart is the most intense of all the living beings I have observed." The tattered beggar walked up to him. "Would you be willing to lend me three minutes?"

Ning Wei stared at the beggar in front of him. "What do you want to do?"

"Attach myself to you and experience your pain," the beggar said. "Afterwards, I will grant you a wish."

"Grant me a wish?"

Ning Wei looked at Xu Jingming. He could feel the beggar's terror. The most powerful people he had ever met in his life were far less terrifying than the beggar in front of him.

This made Ning Wei laugh, a little maniacally. "You want to feel my pain?

If you can feel it, then come on."

"Don't resist," the beggar said, looking at Ning Wei with his eyes.

Ning Wei only felt that the beggar's eyes were like a gateway to a universe, and he was lost in them. At this moment, the area where the two of them were was shielded, and the rest of the planet could not see or enter this place. It seemed to be only three minutes. But with Xu Jingming's mental power, he spent 532 years in Ning Wei's memory, transforming into Ning Wei and experiencing everything he had experienced. After three minutes, Ning Wei suddenly woke up and saw the beggar smiling, smiling madly.

"In an endless sea of suffering, you still don't give up hope?

Hahaha, like a donkey, looking at the carrot in front of it and running forward, running and running until it dies. This donkey, he... is always looking at the carrot, but never able to eat it. You are the same," the beggar pointed at Ning Wei, "always looking at hope, but never able to touch it. Without hope, you would have committed suicide long ago.

But also because there is hope, you experience more pain."

The beggar smiled strangely, "Relatives dying tragically, hometown being slaughtered, civilization shattered, being escorted to a slave planet as a cosmic lifeform, joining the rebel army, the repeated failures of the rebel army... Your heart is already riddled with holes, you are already a walking corpse, yet you are still holding on, just because of that little bit of hope?" Xu Jingming laughed loudly, his eyes reddening.

"I am not willing to die like this, I want revenge, at all costs, I want revenge!" Ning Wei stared at Xu Jingming.

"Haha, I empathize." Xu Jingming smiled. Smiling somewhat maniacally... Using mental methods, my heart merged into his body, and in three minutes, I felt Ning Wei's life's pain. Ordinary Origin Lifeforms would go crazy, but Xu Jingming was already used to it. In the past six years, he has traveled the universe to various planets, his eyes watching countless living beings, looking for living beings with the most intense painful emotions. At first, he was greatly stimulated, but after repeatedly possessing them and feeling their pain, Xu Jingming also became somewhat crazy.

...He even willingly became like a beggar, enduring the discrimination and hatred of countless living beings. Immersed in all kinds of pain every day, Xu Jingming had already adapted, and the impact of abnormal painful emotions had become weaker.

"Your wish is revenge, right?" Xu Jingming looked at him.

"Yes," Ning Wei looked at Xu Jingming. "If you have seen my memories, you should know what I want most."

"You want all the enemies who slaughtered your homeland and people to die!"

Xu Jingming nodded. "Okay, 325 years ago, all the perpetrators who slaughtered your homeland, as long as they are still alive, I will kill them all, leaving none alive."

Ning Wei couldn't believe that the other party could really do it?

"Tomorrow, you go collect information, and you will find out about their deaths."

The beggar turned and left.

More than three hundred years ago, those who committed the great slaughter had not yet died of old age. There were a total of 739 space lifeforms still alive, including two eighth-order space lifeforms. Although the slaughter was a secret, and these 739 people were scattered in various places within the star system, Xu Jingming traveled to each planet and was able to search out many secret intelligence reports, investigate clearly, and lock onto each target.

Within a day, all 739 people were dead.

Whether it was an eighth-order space lifeform commanding a cosmic fleet, or a high-ranking member of the royal family, or a merchant traveling to other star systems... As long as they were the space lifeforms who participated in the slaughter back then, they all died. The rebel army had always regarded these people as revenge targets, so they quickly collected information about the deaths of most of them.

"These perpetrators are all dead?"

"That demon is also dead?" Many people in the rebel army were stunned.

"Haha, dead, all dead."

Ning Wei received the information from the rebel army in the small tavern. After muttering to himself for an hour that night, he committed suicide. When he finally touched hope, he no longer had the strength to live.

The beggar-like Xu Jingming stood outside the small tavern, silently watching Ning Wei, who had finally had his wish fulfilled, choose to commit suicide. "So, this is your final ending... Death, is it a relief for you?"

"What is pain?" the beggar smiled. "No matter how great the pain, as long as there is a little hope... it can be resisted. The sea of suffering is boundless, but there are boats to cross it, and the boat is called 'hope.'" "But in reality, without hope, pain will become despair. There will be no more pain." Xu Jingming laughed maniacally. "'Hope' is a boat, 'hope'... is the source of pain, hahaha..."

"Next," Xu Jingming continued to wander in the universe, searching for planets with living beings, searching for those with sufficiently intense painful emotions, and then possessing them to feel their pain. Although he seemed to be getting more and more crazy, and he only felt those people's life of hardship for three minutes each time, Xu Jingming was actually getting clearer and clearer.

The impact of abnormal painful emotions on him was getting smaller and smaller. He knew very well what he was doing.

"I am in a sea of suffering, but I also have hope." Xu Jingming also had his own concerns in his heart. These years, he did not approach his homeland or see his family.

"One day, I will solve the pollution and the problem of abnormal emotions." The beggar-like Xu Jingming traveled everywhere.

"Would you be willing to lend me three minutes?"

Every time Xu Jingming found someone with sufficiently intense painful emotions, "I will grant you a wish."

Time after time, Xu Jingming fulfilled the wishes of these people in the sea of suffering, and as he watched what they did after their wishes were fulfilled, he also gained insights. Finally, one day, the beggar-like Xu Jingming was walking in a city when he saw three figures appear in front of him.

One was Vice院长 Chi Meng, one was Vice Island Master Fan Xi, and one was Garrison Bai Ge.

"The managers of the three most powerful forces are all here."

Xu Jingming looked at them and smiled. "Is it because I've caused too much trouble in the past six years?"

"Junior Brother," Vice 院长 Chi Meng frowned slightly. "You have lost control."

"Lost control? No." Xu Jingming smiled... "I feel more awake than ever before."
