Chapter 16 The Celebration of All

Blue Star, the courtyard of a home.

Xu Jingming sat leisurely in a chair in the courtyard. As a Source生命, he could clearly see every corner of Blue Star. No matter how strict the defenses, as long as Origin Power could penetrate, it was within Xu Jingming's observation range.

"The entire Blue Star is singing and dancing; the entire planet is celebrating." Xu Jingming smiled. "The news of my breakthrough has been completely made public on Blue Star." After all, the Yuanchu Research Institute issued the document more than three days ago. "Whoosh."

Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing pulled open the glass door of the living room and rushed out quickly. "Dad, you didn't even tell us you were coming back," Xu Lixing said excitedly. "It was the home security system that sent the message."

"Jingming, during the three days you were gone, the entire Blue Star civilization was overjoyed," Li Miaomiao said with a smile. "Our entire Blue Star civilization's celebration will last a whole month!"

"I saw it; I noticed the celebrations everywhere as soon as I got back," Xu Jingming said.

"The celebrations in reality are so-so; it's the virtual world that's completely insane," Li Miaomiao said. "Take a look at the viewing platform; almost every livestream is celebrating, and everyone claims to be your loyal fan."

Xu Lixing sat down beside him, holding her father's arm, her eyes full of admiration. "Dad, you don't know, but now, whether they are ordinary people or cosmic lifeforms, everyone admires you and respects you! Before, we Blue Star people were very inferior when facing those cosmic tourists who came to Blue Star! Facing the Black Moon civilization's royal army and the employees and customers of the Chimeng Group's branch, we didn't dare to offend them in the slightest; we were very humble!"

"Those who deal with outsiders are very humble," Xu Lixing said with emotion. "I didn't want to bow my head, so I preferred to stay at home and not go out! I didn't want to meet people from those alien civilizations."

"But those outsiders still need cosmic lifeforms to receive them, and they are very careful when receiving them," Xu Lixing said. "These past few days, in the virtual world! Our Blue Star cosmic lifeforms have been extremely excited, feeling that they can finally stand up straight! They don't have to be so humble anymore; they don't have to be so careful anymore."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "I understand."

Of course, he understood. In the past few years, everything on Blue Star had been monitored by the Yuanchu battle衣. Xu Jingming had seen Blue Star civilization—whether cosmic lifeforms or ordinary people—being very respectful and humble when facing visitors from powerful civilizations!

He also saw some cosmic lifeforms betraying them, some wanting to immigrate, wanting to move to the Black Moon civilization, wanting to move to other powerful civilizations. When a civilization is weak, its people are naturally humble.

But Xu Jingming becoming a Source生命 had reshaped the spine of the entire Blue Star civilization! The people of Blue Star civilization could stand up straight and no longer needed to be humble. They could also face foreign civilizations with confidence and composure.

"Jingming." Xu Hong and his wife, and Li Chen'an and his wife, also came over. After breaking through to become cosmic lifeforms with the help of external forces, they also lived in this community, but their residences were smaller.

"Grandson," Old Master Xu was beaming. "My good grandson, you have truly brought glory to our ancestors this time! Our Xu family is really proud this time, not just ordinarily proud."

"Grandpa." Xu Jingming immediately got up to greet him.

"Oh, these past two or three days, those cosmic lifeforms from our Blue Star have been coming to me one after another," Old Master Xu said with a hearty laugh. "Even some cosmic lifeforms from other civilizations have managed to find my contact information. This old man has become a hot commodity!"

Xu's father nodded beside him. "Yes, these past two or three days, our whole family has felt like we've been caught in a vortex; too many strangers have been trying to curry favor."

Xu Jingming nodded.

It was normal. His status in the Wugou Star Alliance would undoubtedly skyrocket, and all forces could foresee that Xu Jingming's influence on the Wugou Star Alliance would be terrifying in the next 100,000 years. It was only natural that his close relatives would be exposed to all sorts of sugar-coated bullets.

"Grandson," Old Master Xu said with a smile, "The more glory, reputation, and power come your way, the more you have to hold steady. Fame and fortune are like a vortex; if you can't hold steady, you'll be swept away. If you can hold steady, you'll be the stabilizing force; the entire Blue Star civilization will stabilize because of you."

Xu Jingming nodded. "I understand; I won't get carried away."

"Back in the day, your grandpa was also a star player, and I got carried away too. Of course, my bit of fame and fortune can't compare to yours now," Old Master Xu said, looking at the people around him. "We are all Jingming's family, so don't get carried away either! In fact, I think we should calm down for a year! Spend this year thinking and reflecting, and then start doing things for real a year later!"

"Dad, you're right," Xu Hong and his wife both nodded.

"Especially Lixing!" Old Master Xu looked at Xu Lixing.

"Don't worry, Old Master," Xu Lixing said with a grin. "I'm the most sensible."

Old Master Xu looked at his great-granddaughter, his eyes narrowing with a smile. "Good, today is a day of great joy. The entire Blue Star civilization is going to celebrate for a month, so our family should celebrate for at least three days, right? Oh, I'm so happy that I can close my eyes now. It's really bringing glory to our ancestors. How did my Xu family produce such an amazing child?"

Inside a teahouse.

Liu Hai and Lei Yunfang sat facing each other, drinking tea. Through the glass windows, they could see the celebrations outside, with people singing and dancing. Giant light screens showed videos of Xu Jingming's battles, including the 'Cosmic Peak Battle' video.

"It's been so many years," Liu Hai said with a smile, like a squinting old tiger. "Finally, I can relax."

"Indeed." Lei Yunfang gently blew on his tea, watching the tea leaves swirl and sink. "Before, I always felt an invisible pressure. Our civilization was too weak, and our batch of cosmic lifeforms bore the responsibility. We had to work hard; we had to fight desperately! No matter what, the invisible pressure didn't allow us a moment of relaxation. But now! I'm completely relaxed."

"Relaxed," Liu Hai nodded. "I really didn't expect Blue Star civilization to produce a Source生命 so quickly. Becoming a Source生命 in 31 years of cultivation and evolution; he's the fastest in the entire human race in the current era! I really can't imagine that the kid who broke his leg and shed tears on the sidelines could reach this stage today."

Lei Yunfang laughed. "Yes, I watched him grow step by step. In the beginning, I could guide him. But he grew quickly. In less than a year, he became the number one person on the entire planet, even defeating you."

"Don't mention defeating me; he even defeated Envoy Yao Yano," Liu Hai said with a smile. "However, no matter what stage he reaches, he will always be my disciple. This is something I, Liu Hai, can boast about for the rest of my life."

"Yes, your disciple," Lei Yunfang said with envy. "Truly amazing; a Source生命."

Liu Hai also looked out the glass window. "It's really good. The current Blue Star civilization is so much better than before."

The two of them watched the celebrating people outside the glass window—their happy smiles, their confident smiles!—and felt that the dark clouds in the sky above the entire Blue Star had dissipated.

Pang Ze also sat leisurely in his own courtyard.

"For so many years, I've never felt so relaxed." Pang Ze sat comfortably, not thinking about anything, just enjoying the breeze.

For a long time, he was the most capable cosmic lifeform on Blue Star'. He had been working very hard, trying to find ways to fight for Blue Star civilization. After all, in the original estimate, Blue Star might not have a 'Source生命' appear in his lifetime. However, Xu Jingming's breakthrough came as a huge surprise.

"Buzz." Pang Ze lightly tapped open the light screen, and an alien man appeared on the screen. "Pang, I heard from Miss Mara that you want to resign?" the alien man said. "You have been working for me for 20 years. Haven't you been very happy all these years? Is it because of money or position? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me, and I can fight for it within the family."

"The Auluo family has treated me very well, and the compensation has not been lacking," Pang Ze said. "However, Mr. Yu Xuan, do you remember that I am from Blue Star civilization?"

The alien man was taken aback. "Yes, I remember that you are from Blue Star civilization, a newly emerging civilization."

"Our Blue Star civilization has now produced a Source生命," Pang Ze said with a smile. "He is about to establish his group company and has already extended an invitation to me. I plan to serve him from now on."

"Source生命?" The alien man looked slightly puzzled. He immediately began to investigate.

After all, he was not from the Wugou Star Alliance, but from the distant Jiuyu Star Alliance, so he did not know about "Wu Ming's identity" so quickly.

"Blue Star civilization, Lord Wu Ming? Becoming a Source生命 in 31 years of cultivation and evolution?" The alien man was immediately stunned when he saw this, and then a look of excitement appeared on his face. "Haha, Pang, your Blue Star civilization has produced a remarkable figure. I am also very happy that you want to resign. I believe that our Auluo family will have many opportunities to cooperate with Lord Wu Ming behind you in the future."

The Auluo family has a long history, a huge clan, and countless talents. A cosmic legend has been born in history, so its foundation is very deep. Although it is currently a period of mediocrity, there are still seven Source生命.

"I'll contact you again after I officially join the company," Pang Ze said with a smile. He didn't dare to give any promises now.

"The Auluo family is very willing to cooperate with Lord Wu Ming," the alien man said with a smile.

After this contact was severed, the alien man Yu Xuan Auluo immediately contacted one of the leading figures of the Auluo family—an old man with a faint golden light all over his body, who looked over through the light screen. "My child, do you have something to discuss with me?"

"Father, a subordinate I once recruited is from Blue Star civilization," Yu Xuan Auluo immediately said. "And I just investigated and discovered that Lord Wu Ming is also from Blue Star civilization."

"Is that so?" The old man's eyes lit up. "Is your subordinate familiar with Lord Wu Ming?"

"He has resigned and will serve Lord Wu Ming," Yu Xuan said. "Of course, he and I have a 20-year friendship, so perhaps we have an opportunity to cooperate with Lord Wu Ming through him."

The old man nodded slightly. "I'll leave this matter to you. In the Auluo family's assessment, Lord Wu Ming will probably be one of the top three figures in the entire Hunter Cosmos域 in the future."

"Father, do you mean he can become a cosmic legend?"

"You may not quite understand what it means to become a Source生命 in 31 years," the old man shook his head and said. "Our Auluo family hasn't even produced a tenth-order Source生命 in recent years; we've been declining for too long. I don't know when we will be able to restore the glory of our ancestors."

In the Dark Ages, the family leader led the various branches of the family to continue fighting against the alien races. At that time, heroes emerged in large numbers.

There was even a cosmic legend born! However, the current Auluo family is too mediocre compared to the past.

"Cooperating with others is just the icing on the cake," the old man sighed. "The most important thing is that our Auluo family must produce talents! You must put more effort into discovering and nurturing talents in the star system territory you are in charge of."

"Yes," the alien man responded respectfully.

"Wu Ming." The old man thought of this Wu Ming and thought of that ancestor in history.

He was also once extremely talented and became a cosmic legend! He was also good at guiding the younger generations of the family. At that time, the Auluo family produced talents in large numbers, and several tenth-order Source生命 emerged. However, the situation of the human race was too bad at that time; even Supreme existences had fallen, and the ancestor did not have good enough conditions to grow.

"Compared to the past, the current Auluo family has been completely corrupted," the old man thought of this and felt very powerless. He wanted to change it, but it was too difficult.

Black Moon civilization.

"We received news that Lord Wu Ming has returned to Blue Star." Mo Lilun and a total of 13 people were in the hall, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

"Our Black Moon civilization has risen step by step from weakness, and has experienced many disasters. Many great ancestors have made efforts to achieve today's prosperity," a red-brown-haired elder said solemnly. "And Lord Wu Ming can be expected to become the strongest existence in the entire Wugou Star Alliance in the near future. If our Black Moon civilization's feud with Lord Wu Ming leads to Lord Wu Ming's hostility! In the next 100,000 years, we will encounter many difficulties, and the entire civilization may completely decline because of this. 100,000 years is too long."

Even if the Black Moon civilization has a deep foundation, 100,000 years of suppression may lead to decline.

"Lord Wu Ming is the most talented Source生命 in the history of the Wugou Star Alliance. The rise of Lord Wu Ming is unstoppable," the red-brown-haired elder swept his gaze around. "The Yuanchu Research Institute will do everything possible to protect Lord Wu Ming, and cosmic alien races cannot stop it."

"The only thing we can do is to resolve the feud! Resolve this feud at all costs!" the red-brown-haired elder said solemnly. "In my capacity as the Great Elder of the Black Moon civilization, I order that the 13 elders who are departing for Blue Star civilization this time must follow the decisions of the highest meeting. Anyone who dares to violate the decision will be regarded as betraying the entire civilization! They will be dealt with for the crime of betraying the civilization."

Everyone present did not object.

"Depart." The red-brown-haired elder walked at the front, Mo Lilun walked in second place, and the elders followed closely.

The 13 elders led the Black Moon mission and boarded a cosmic spacecraft to Blue Star civilization.

"Reporting to the Great Elder, the spacecraft needs to go through two wormhole traversals and is expected to arrive at Blue Star civilization in 31 minutes," the spacecraft AI's voice echoed in the spacecraft's command hall.

The 13 elders stood, and the other members of the mission stood respectfully in the distance. It was rare in the civilization's history for the 13 highest elders of the entire Black Moon civilization to be dispatched at the same time.

"We must succeed."

The 13 elders looked at the endless starry sky. They all understood that they could not afford to fail. If they failed, they would become sinners of the entire Black Moon civilization.
