Chapter 1 Welcome to My World

In the instant of plummeting into the colossal painting, Xu Jingming, along with all the other high-dimensional lifeforms, received a voice in their minds.

"Welcome to my world."

"In my world, once you die, you will face complete and utter death. The life imprints you left in any territory will be annihilated."

"The only way to survive is to obtain first place in the Arena of All Races! Obtain first place, and you can leave this world alive, and you can also choose any reward from my prize vault."

"I remind you, I have summoned a total of 5,623,922 high-dimensional lifeforms."

"This is your tribulation, but it is also your opportunity."

The voice echoed in their consciousness.

Xu Jingming felt his body completely annihilated, leaving only a wisp of consciousness, completely integrated into this world. All the other high-dimensional lifeforms were the same, each consciousness integrated.

...

Xu Jingming felt groggy and sluggish as he opened his eyes. The light outside the house penetrated through the curtains.

"Me?" Xu Jingming sat up and looked at himself.

Slender and weak arms, slightly pale skin, Xu Jingming felt his body was somewhat sickly.

"My power is completely gone?" Xu Jingming carefully sensed, "The mind originates from the flesh. My current body is this sickly body. The power of the mind is also very weak."

"Even if it is weak, with my mental acuity, I should be able to sense the cosmic source power. But this world... has no cosmic source power." Xu Jingming was a little confused, then he lifted the quilt, wearing pajamas and trousers, and walked to the mirror.

In the mirror was a slightly thin teenager. The teenager's hair was slightly dark red, and his appearance was seven or eight parts similar to Xu Jingming.

"He was often sick since he was a child." Xu Jingming also had memories of the teenager in his mind, learning about the basic information of this world.

This world was boundless, with a large number of races occupying pieces of territory. The teenager found information on more than 90,000 races. The human race was just one of many races.

"Ten thousand races stand side by side, and the human race is not conspicuous." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "And the teenager I descended on is also called Jingming?"

Xu Jingming suspected that such a coincidence was probably related to the existence that created the world.

"I heard that the Third Realm existence can make their words into laws, formulate rules, and are almost omnipotent." Xu Jingming thought, "It is estimated that the voice that dragged more than 5 million high-dimensional lifeforms into this world was from a Third Realm existence."

High-dimensional lifeforms who lived for a long time often encountered the Third Realm.

It's normal for himself to encounter the Third Realm, given how many incarnations he has.

"In this world, as long as you die, it's a complete death?" Xu Jingming was very solemn.

He was young and had just become an Eternal Realm high-dimensional lifeform in the Heart World lineage, and had a great future. How could he be willing to die easily?

"Dying of old age, dying of illness, accidental death... all kinds of deaths will lead to the destruction of all my incarnations." Xu Jingming understood that although his ability to save his life was strong, he could not resist the punishment of the Third Realm existence.

"Coming to this world, the core goal: to obtain first place in the Arena of All Races."

Xu Jingming immediately recalled the information about the Arena of All Races.

This teenager obviously also knew about the Arena of All Races.

This world highly respected competitive fighting, pursuing the strength of individual martial power! Various fighting events were very popular, and the Arena of All Races was held once every thousand years, a grand event for all races.

When the competition was held, all races would watch it at the same time.

The human race was a very ordinary race among all races, with a total of seven kingdoms, each with a population of over ten billion. The seven human kingdoms had poor security, and gangs and bandits were rampant.

"The Arena of All Races opens once every thousand years, welcoming the strong from all races to participate."

"However, only 300 places can pass the preliminaries and become professional players in the main competition. In the seven human kingdoms... in the recorded million-year history, only three people have ever set foot on the Arena of All Races, the last time was more than 100,000 years ago."

"The main competition spots are out of reach for the seven human kingdoms."

Xu Jingming walked to the desk in the room. On the desk was a machine. Xu Jingming operated it familiarly according to his memory, pressing two buttons. The machine lit up, and a light curtain appeared.

Xu Jingming reached out and touched the light curtain, and quickly retrieved online information.

"This world also has an information network." Xu Jingming smiled and retrieved the latest list of players in the main competition of the Arena of All Races.

Xu Jingming watched the detailed introduction of the list.

The champion of the previous Arena of All Races: Kabomaiha (Giant God Race), height 32.9 meters, weight 512 tons. (All data units are translated into Blue Star unit data.)

Runner-up: Didifeige (Fire Dragon Race), body length 109 meters, weight 8297 tons.

Third place: Chen Qi Wang (Mountain Demon Race), height 62.1 meters, weight 9500 tons.

...

Xu Jingming looked at the information.

"No wonder it's difficult for the human race to enter the main competition of the Arena of All Races. The human race's small arms and legs are fundamentally unable to compare with these powerful races in terms of potential." Xu Jingming shook his head gently, "Competitive fighting is a competition of physical combat! Physical talent is very important."

"And the difference in lifespan is also very large."

Xu Jingming also searched the information network to learn more details.

"The lifespans of all races are not the same. The longest lifespan is the 'Five-Colored Dragon Race', which generally has a lifespan of 100,000 years." Xu Jingming frowned. "The lifespan of the human race is generally around 200 years. Even if the physical body is cultivated to the most perfect level, and the aging of the physical body is slowed down, which can greatly extend the lifespan, the longest-lived human in history has only lived for more than 2,000 years."

"Different races have completely different talents in terms of body and lifespan."

Xu Jingming frowned, "The Five-Colored Dragon Race has a lifespan of 100,000 years. The Arena of All Races is held once every thousand years, so they have about a hundred chances to try."

"The human race generally has a much shorter lifespan, and fewer chances to try."

"The next Arena of All Races will be held in 322 years. First of all, I have to live to 322 years later."

"More than 5 million high-dimensional lifeforms have descended, descending on different races, and the starting point is different." Xu Jingming realized this. The Mountain Demon Race generally has a height of over 50 meters, a weight of over 5,000 tons, and a lifespan of generally 10,000 years. Those who have enough control over their bodies can extend their lifespan even further.

Everyone cultivates martial arts, so it is naturally difficult for humans to catch up with the Mountain Demon Race.

"There are also some weaker races."

"Like the Ant Race, which generally does not exceed 10 centimeters in height and generally has a lifespan of about 30 years." Xu Jingming thought, "A race that is about the same height as a finger is naturally at a great disadvantage in fighting."

******

The Ant Race has a strict order.

The Ant Queen has a noble status, a large body, and a much longer lifespan. The ordinary Ant Race is miserable, with a small body and must obey orders.

"Me..."

An Ant Race carrying a heavy object suddenly had a much deeper look in his eyes, "Abyssal Lord 'Hafengcheng', in this world, I was actually born into an Ant Race. This world highly respects fighting, and the Arena of All Races, a grand competition held once every thousand years... is a grand event for all races. But in the history of the Ant Race, not a single one has been able to enter the main competition."

"Interesting."

"It's more interesting to climb up from a weak race." Ha Fengcheng quickly accepted the situation before him.

Although he was once an Abyssal Lord who controlled one side, he had also reached the level of half-step Third Realm in terms of realm by relying on the resources of the Abyssal Lord and a long period of time.

However, whether it was impacting the 'Abyssal Monarch' or the Third Realm existence, it was too difficult.

"This time, maybe it's an opportunity." Ha Fengcheng thought to himself.

...

"Woo."

In a chaotic space-time, a young dragon race, only seven or eight meters long, opened its eyes and looked around.

...

"Work faster, don't be lazy." A one-armed giant ape with a height of 12 meters pulling a truck fell to the ground and lashed out with a whip, causing the one-armed giant ape to shudder, and his eyes became much clearer.

"I've become a Forest Giant Ape? And a one-armed one? In the myriad races, this is already a good start. The first place in the Arena of All Races?" This one-armed giant ape quickly accepted the current situation.

...

5,623,922 high-dimensional lifeforms descended at the same time, scattered among the myriad races of this world.

Xu Jingming, this weak teenager, was learning a lot of information about this world through the information network.

"This world, I haven't heard of any way to prolong life. The common method for all races is to have enough control over the physical body, so that the aging speed of the physical body becomes slower, dozens of times slower, and naturally can live for thousands of years." Xu Jingming thought.

Slower aging?

But it still depends on the basic lifespan. Those with a basic lifespan of ten thousand years can live for tens of thousands of years if the aging of the physical body is slowed down several times. The advantage is too great.

The human race has a basic lifespan of only about 200 years. How long can I live?

"If I want to take first place, I obviously have to surpass everyone in the history of the human race, and reach an unprecedented level of control over the physical body." Xu Jingming thought, "In this way, the aging of the body can be slower, and I should be able to live longer."

"Considering that more than 5 million high-dimensional lifeforms are participating in the competition, the threshold of the Arena of All Races will also be greatly increased in the future."

The past threshold was the result of competition among native lifeforms.

The future threshold will be different.

"Most of the high-dimensional lifeforms have incarnations in the outside world." Xu Jingming could also sense thousands of incarnations in other territories, "The memories of the incarnations are connected. The 'thinking speed' of the incarnations in other territories for the difficulties encountered in this world is very terrifying, and they can quickly deduce solutions."

"The only problem..."

Xu Jingming frowned slightly, "This world has great obstacles to other territories, and the transmission of consciousness is a bit slow."

The other incarnations are all Eternal Realm high-dimensional lifeforms. The transmission of consciousness has no delay.

This world has strong obstacles, and the transmission of consciousness has a clear 'delay'.

"The transmission of consciousness is delayed by about 0.15 seconds." Xu Jingming made a judgment.

Fighting is as fast as lightning.

A delay of 0.15 seconds is enough for experts to make ten or a hundred moves.

"Whether it's the mental state honed over long years, or the thinking deduction speed of the incarnations, or the level of various skills... the advantages of high-dimensional lifeforms compared to the natives are still too great." Xu Jingming thought.

"But considering the limitations of lifespan, more than 99.99% of the more than 5 million high-dimensional lifeforms will be eliminated and die in this world." Xu Jingming was very clear about the degree of danger.

"The most important thing is..."

Xu Jingming looked at his weak body, "Don't die when you're weak."

It has been a long, long time since he has been so weak. He felt that his physical fitness at the age of eight was stronger than now.
