Chapter 1 Gu Shan's True Identity

"Junior Brother Wu Ming!" Senior Brother Chi Tong, still looking like a child, called out with a smile, "Can you guess Senior Brother Gu Shan's real identity in reality?"

"I can't."

Xu Jingming walked over, sat on the sofa, and casually picked up a glass of wine. "Senior Brother Chi Tong, tell me quickly."

Chi Tong immediately said, "You know about the Shuangyu civilization, right?"

"I do. It's the most powerful civilization in the Frost Star Alliance. Its history can be traced back to the Dark Era. Among the nearly a thousand mid-level cosmic civilizations in the Hunter Cosmos Domain, the Shuangyu civilization is easily in the top thirty," Xu Jingming said. "It possesses a territory of more than twelve thousand star systems and currently has two tenth-level Origin Lives and 285 ninth-level Origin Lives."

"Our Senior Brother Gu Shan is the 286th ninth-level Origin Life of the current Shuangyu civilization." Chi Tong pointed at Gu Shan, who was sitting to the side with a smile. "Moreover, he is also the Third Prince of the Shuangyu civilization, Jun Shi Kong*Shuangyu. As a prince who has become an Origin Life, he naturally has the first right of succession. As long as he is willing, he can become the next Emperor of the Shuangyu civilization."

"The Third Prince of the Shuangyu civilization?" Silver-haired beauty Senior Sister Mo Yu and Senior Brother Qing Lin walked in together, both looking at Gu Shan in surprise.

"Eldest Brother, do you have any plans to become the Emperor of the Shuangyu civilization?" Chi Tong asked eagerly.

"I have no such plans." Senior Brother Gu Shan smiled slightly.

"The power of the Shuangyu civilization's Emperor is immense. Are you just giving it up like that?" Chi Tong shook his head.

Xu Jingming was somewhat shocked.

In the universe, the strength of some ancient civilizations can be extremely formidable. The strength of a civilization like the Shuangyu civilization is comparable to that of a weaker Star Alliance!

Everyone says that the Black Moon civilization is very powerful, but it has not been able to cross the threshold of a mid-level cosmic civilization. The Shuangyu civilization, on the other hand, is at the top among mid-level cosmic civilizations, so powerful that it makes one tremble.

"Two tenth-level Origin Lives, 286 Origin Lives, a territory comparable to one-tenth of the Wu Hook Star Alliance! An unquantifiable population. Technological and military aspects have reached an inconceivable level! One civilization is enough to rival a Star Alliance," Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

The Shuangyu civilization has so many Origin Lives in this era. How many Origin Lives have been born in its long history? And how many great scholars have been born?

It is precisely because of generations of Origin Lives and great scholars that the Shuangyu civilization has achieved its current prosperity.

"My home, now only has one life-bearing planet, and the population does not exceed ten billion. When will it be able to develop to the level of the Shuangyu civilization?" Xu Jingming thought, it was too distant.

Even if one is strong oneself, the accumulation of technology, the propagation of population, and the expansion of territory all require a long period.

...

Senior Brother Gu Shan sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "The Shuangyu civilization has a long history, over three hundred million years, but precisely because it is too long, the various forces within the civilization are particularly complex. Even the Emperor has difficulty controlling many things. Rather than being an Emperor who balances all parties, it is better to focus on the path of evolution!"

"I admire you." Senior Brother Chi Tong raised his glass. "To give up such vast power so easily, I must toast you for that, Eldest Brother."

Gu Shan smiled and took a sip.

"Everyone says that the Third Prince of the Shuangyu civilization is lazy and likes to enjoy life. It seems everyone has misjudged him," Senior Sister Mo Yu said with a smile.

"I do like to enjoy life," Gu Shan said, drinking his wine. "Life is short. You have to have some hobbies, otherwise, wouldn't it be too tiring?"

As they talked and laughed, Cheng Yu and Kabuya also arrived.

"Everyone's here. Let's all take our seats," Gu Shan said, rising to his feet.

The eight of them took their seats.

Although Eldest Brother Gu Shan had become an Origin Life, as geniuses of the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage, the others also had confidence and were able to maintain a normal attitude in front of Eldest Brother.

"Junior Sister Mo Yu," Gu Shan said, "Your spiritual power is increasing even faster than mine. When will you break through to become an Origin Life?"

"Now that Senior Brother has broken through, I'll probably break through within three years," Senior Sister Mo Yu said with a faint smile.

"Wow!"

"Within three years?"

"Senior Sister Mo Yu!"

Chi Tong, Monina, Kabuya, and the others were all surprised.

Gu Shan said, "If Junior Sister Mo Yu wanted to, she could have broken through before me. She's in no hurry. She even had the mind to establish twelve sects in the Subduing Demons World."

"It's also to make my mind more complete at the eighth-level Star Life stage," Senior Sister Mo Yu said. "After all, even if you do the same things at different life stages, the feelings are different."

"You two are about to break through. My spiritual power, ranked third, is still lacking," Chi Tong said with a bitter face.

"How long do you think it will take?" Monina asked eagerly.

"Within a hundred years, probably," Chi Tong said, shaking his head.

"Shut up!" Monina pouted. "I don't see hope in three or five hundred years, and I haven't said anything."

Once Eldest Sister also broke through, the oldest in terms of age would be Chi Tong and Monina.

"I don't see hope in three or five hundred years either," Senior Brother Qing Lin said, shaking his head.

Cheng Yu, Kabuya, and Xu Jingming all remained silent. The three of them were the youngest, and their cultivation time was relatively short. Of course, they had all reached the limit of the eighth level.

"Senior Brother Gu Shan, tell us about your feelings after breaking through to become an Origin Life," Senior Sister Mo Yu said.

"Alright." Gu Shan nodded and began to speak. Xu Jingming and the others listened attentively.

...

Two years after the gathering of the eight, Senior Sister Mo Yu also broke through and became an Origin Life.

Xu Jingming and the others also learned about Senior Sister Mo Yu's identity in reality. Senior Sister Mo Yu came from a very ordinary low-level cosmic civilization, the Fengshan civilization. The Fengshan civilization had twelve life-bearing planets, only slightly stronger than the Blue Star civilization.

Senior Sister Mo Yu's background was very ordinary. She had risen step by step. In reality, she was disguised as a seventh-level Star Life and also served as the principal of a college.

After she became an Origin Life, the entire Fengshan civilization fell into a frenzy!

******

In the blink of an eye, it was already 2101.

In the virtual world network, in his personal space, Xu Jingming was reading a large amount of scientific knowledge.

He had been focusing on the Cosmic Professional Player competition for six years. Xu Jingming's talent in actual combat had been recognized by all forces when he participated in the Mysterious Land selection! After all, he had become a seventh-level Star Life in less than two years of cultivation.

With his outstanding talent in actual combat, after Xu Jingming focused on the Cosmic Professional Player competition, his talent was truly perfectly displayed.

Six years! Dozens of battles every day, accumulating to tens of thousands of fights. His opponents were all eighth-level limit experts with similar strength to him. All of this had a great impact on Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming was like a piece of iron, truly refined into steel after experiencing the forging of tens of thousands of battles.

His actual combat skills had completely reached a new realm.

"The more knowledge I learn, the more I feel that the Primordial Star is difficult to describe," Xu Jingming gently clicked and closed the page in front of him.

"It's time for the appointment." Xu Jingming gently clicked on the visitor information and invited one of the visitors in.

Whoosh.

A short, blue-skinned old man walked in. He was dressed meticulously and smiled as he entered. "Cang Jiu Teng, Chairman of the Nine Star Group of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, greets Mr. Wu Ming."

"Mr. Cang Jiu Teng, please sit down." Xu Jingming nodded and pointed to a seat next to him.

Cang Jiu Teng was also observing Xu Jingming, making a judgment in his mind. "This Wu Ming, even sitting there, is like a weapon, with an invisible sharpness. This kind of person is too sharp and not easy to deal with."

Six years ago, when Xu Jingming had just left the Subduing Demons World, he had some vicissitudes.

But now it was different.

The weapon had been integrated into his heart and changed his temperament.

"Mr. Wu Ming should know that our Nine Star Group's team is the number one team in the Wu Hook Star Alliance," Cang Jiu Teng said. "I am here to invite Mr. Wu Ming to join our team and compete for the spots in the top ten teams in the Hunter Cosmos Domain. Once we succeed… we will have the opportunity to reach the highest stage! That is the hottest event in 34 Cosmos Domains."

"I can guarantee,"

Cang Jiu Teng said, "After Mr. Wu Ming joins the team, he will receive fair competition. The capable go up, and the weak go down. I believe that Mr. Wu Ming's strength will definitely allow him to obtain a main position in the team."

Recruiting into the team also requires integration. If the effect is not good, there is no qualification to play.

"I have heard of the Nine Star Group," Xu Jingming nodded. "But I'm sorry, I don't plan to join any team."

"Joining a team has many benefits," Cang Jiu Teng said with a smile. "The founder of our Nine Star Group, Lord Feng Ming, is an Origin Life and also an elder of the Wu Hook Star Alliance's Senate. He is also a high-level executive in the Wu Hook Chamber of Commerce, and his influence permeates the entire Star Alliance. Lord Feng Ming takes great care of the team's members. With Lord Feng Ming's help, I believe you can have a smoother journey in the Wu Hook Star Alliance."

"I have no intention of joining any team," Xu Jingming said again.

Cang Jiu Teng's expression changed slightly, and he said softly, "Mr. Wu Ming, are you sure you want to reject the invitation from the Nine Star Group?"

"Yes, I reject it," Xu Jingming nodded.

After focusing on weapons for a long time, he spoke more directly and was unwilling to beat around the bush.

Cang Jiu Teng stood up and nodded. "I understand. I will inform Lord Feng Ming of your answer. I just want to advise you, Mr. Wu Ming, do not easily reject the goodwill of an Origin Life. Mr. Feng Ming values the team very much and also values you very much."

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Jingming stared at him.

Cang Jiu Teng was stunned.

Is this Wu Ming so headstrong?

"I am just giving friendly advice," Cang Jiu Teng said.

"Understood." Xu Jingming nodded and kicked the other party out of his personal space, directly blacklisting him.

He had been using the identity of Wu Ming all along. What did it matter to reject a team invitation?

Xu Jingming shook his head. "A lackey can be so arrogant and even threaten me?"

The other party looked polite, but Xu Jingming could feel the implicit threat. But he obviously didn't care!

Not to mention that Senior Brother Gu Shan and Senior Sister Mo Yu's influence could suppress that Lord Feng Ming, even Xu Jingming himself was becoming more and more confident in himself.

Xu Jingming opened his Cosmic Professional Player interface—

Name: Wu Ming

Wu Hook Star Alliance Ranking: 3

Hunter Cosmos Domain Ranking: 523

Cosmic Overall Ranking: 12791

"In six years, I've rushed to third place in the Wu Hook Star Alliance. That's several times faster than I originally planned," Xu Jingming thought. "In terms of actual combat, I'm really quite talented."
