“The Flame Star projection said, ‘There are three beings at the half-step to the third realm in this territory. Your arrival makes you the fourth. If we join forces, we can take at least half of the resources in this entire territory.’

Gu Mo nodded. ‘If you and I join forces, we will be the dominant force in this territory.’

‘Haha, I've been looking forward to joining forces with you for a long time.’ The Flame Star laughed, its laughter shaking the void. They had once ventured through the abyss together and had experience fighting together.

‘I estimate that once the news of your migration leaks, the other two beings at the half-step to the third realm will definitely be wary,’ the Flame Star projection said. ‘So I suggest that we finalize the migration today and take action immediately. First, we seize the most important Bolan Forbidden Ground in the entire territory. We’ll split all the resources that come out of the Bolan Forbidden Ground evenly from now on!’

‘Good, my true body will come over now,’ Gu Mo said decisively.

They were well aware that the future was uncertain and constantly changing. Once Gu Mo decided to migrate, the branching paths of the future would immediately change as well.

Although it was impossible for other beings at the half-step to the third realm to constantly observe the future, the faster they acted, the less likely they were to be exposed.

In just over half an hour, Gu Mo’s true body had arrived in this territory. He had also put a lot of effort into the five great inheritances, and his core world lineage had also reached the peak of the Eternal realm, making his travel speed much faster than Xu Jingming’s.

Gu Mo saw no hope of breaking through to the half-step to the third realm in the core world lineage. The peak of the Eternal realm and the half-step to the third realm seemed like a small step, but it blocked countless high-dimensional lifeforms.

For example, in Feng Yi’s ninety-seventh territory, there were over ten thousand Eternal realm experts, but only three beings at the half-step to the third realm. This showed how difficult this step was.

The towering Gu Mo, clad in a starlight robe with cold, unwavering eyes, and the Flame Star, even more massive and boundless, comparable to one percent of a true universe, joined forces, stirring up a terrifying war in this territory.

In the core world of this territory, Xu Jingming also had an avatar here. This avatar had just absorbed a massive amount of core world power and naturally advanced to the Eternal realm.

His true body on Myriad Star Island broke through cautiously, slowing down the process and taking more than three days. But with familiarity breeding skill, the avatars scattered in other territories broke through much faster. Within half a day, each avatar opened up an internal universe within their body, reaching the Eternal realm.

In the Primordial realm, splitting into avatars was instantaneous, but splitting into Eternal realm avatars was much more difficult, because each avatar had to open up an internal universe. This was what truly defined the Eternal realm.

‘Hmm?’ The newly advanced Eternal realm avatar sensed terrifying fluctuations. Xu Jingming silently traversed the vast distances in the core world, approaching the battlefield.

‘This is?’ Xu Jingming saw that the legendary ‘Bolan Forbidden Ground’ in this territory was already a chaotic mess, with all kinds of terrifying aftershocks impacting the turbulent currents. He could vaguely see an incredibly massive Flame Star. Even from Xu Jingming’s perspective, he could only see a small part of the Flame Star.

‘Such a massive star should be Bu Tanlang, the being at the half-step to the third realm of this territory,’ Xu Jingming guessed.

He was a high-dimensional lifeform born to devour everything. He was extremely compatible with the star lineage and had cultivated to the half-step to the third realm after countless years, becoming a hegemon of this territory.

‘Gu Mo?’ Xu Jingming stared into the distance. As a neighbor, Xu Jingming naturally had a lot of information about Gu Mo and recognized him at a glance.

Flames spread in all directions from the massive Flame Star. There was also a starlight figure on the star that was much smaller in comparison.

The figure stood in place, and a starlight capable of destroying everything erupted between his palms. Wherever the starlight passed, it swept away everything in its path, and the various formations of the Bolan Forbidden Ground were forcibly destroyed by this starlight.

‘Gu Mo!!!’ There was an angry roar from within the Bolan Forbidden Ground. It was a massive beast with three pairs of huge wings.

The beast roared, ‘Get out of the Bolan Forbidden Ground!’ The sound traveled far and wide.

‘You can’t stop the two of us. Haha, Gu Mo and I will be the ones calling the shots in this territory from now on,’ the Flame Star laughed.

In the core world, Xu Jingming could only vaguely determine the identities of those three terrifying auras due to the interference of the surrounding aftershocks. He also deduced their identities to some extent. ‘Bu Tanlang and Gu Mo have joined forces and are saying that they will be the ones calling the shots in this territory. Is Gu Mo going to reside in this territory permanently from now on?’

‘Does that mean the Void Sky God will migrate to this territory?’ Many thoughts flashed through Xu Jingming’s mind.

He wasn’t too concerned.

Because the top three real universes he had chosen as alternatives had very similar survival rates for humans. The human race was more inclined towards the territory in Sequence 1.

‘The battle between those at the half-step to the third realm is truly terrifying,’ Xu Jingming marveled. Even though he had just broken through to the Eternal realm, he could still sense the gap between them.

The Flame Star, which was one percent the size of a true universe, was terrifying just based on its size. Even if it collided with a true universe, the aftershocks could wipe out most of the living beings in the universe.

Back in his home territory on Myriad Star Island, Xu Jingming walked out of his residence and saw four figures standing outside. They were the other four high-dimensional lifeforms of the human race, and they were looking at Xu Jingming excitedly.

Academy Master Chu smiled and said, ‘I knew you would succeed. 900 years to cross from low-dimensional to high-dimensional, and 7,000 years to cross from the high-dimensional Primordial realm to the Eternal realm.’ Eternal Tower Lord smiled and said, ‘Amazing.’

Xu Jingming said modestly, ‘In high-dimensional space, I've only barely gained a foothold.’

Before his breakthrough, he didn’t dare to contact other experts of the core world lineage, as he was too weak in the Primordial realm and feared that they might have malicious intentions.

‘The Eternal realm is just barely gaining a foothold, then I, in the Primordial realm, can only hide away and not go out,’ Chi Meng said with a smile.

‘Senior Brother Chi Meng, I didn’t mean it that way,’ Xu Jingming said quickly.

‘Academy Master has prepared a lavish banquet, let's go quickly,’ Eternal Tower Lord urged.

The five of them came to Academy Master Chu’s residence.

Academy Master Chu was going to bleed heavily. He took out some treasured items, fine wine brewed from abyss materials—five cups for each person—different kinds of high-dimensional fruits, and a delicious item called Xuelanshi, which looked like white corn on Earth, but its taste was quite enjoyable for Xu Jingming.

‘Academy Master is really willing to spend this time,’ Eternal Tower Lord laughed.

‘Jingming has broken through, so what does this little bit count for?’ Academy Master Chu smiled happily. ‘Back then, the human race in the universe only had me as an Eternal realm expert. At that time, I had only broken through to the Eternal realm not long ago. Although I had other companions around me, they were all only in the Primordial realm.’

Xu Jingming, Chi Meng, and the others were silent.

‘Yes,’ Eternal Tower Lord nodded.

‘Back then, we were cautious in high-dimensional space, afraid of being captured alive and sacrificed to the abyss. We didn’t dare to go to too dangerous places, for fear of losing our lives. Our deaths were not important, but if we died, the human race would be finished.’

‘We were living carefully,’ Academy Master Chu said. ‘The human race was also living carefully in the universe. If there was a slightly larger storm, the human race would be torn apart.’

Eternal Tower Lord said, ‘Before you became an Eternal realm expert, the human race was even more miserable. The early high-dimensional lifeforms were all in the Primordial realm, and many died before they could grow up. At that time, we didn’t dare to stay in the universe, for fear of being wiped out in one fell swoop. After all, those in the Primordial realm are the best materials for abyss sacrifices.’

‘Even after becoming high-dimensional lifeforms, we had to hide everywhere and try to grow stronger. We had to risk our lives for a single Eternal realm inheritance,’ Eternal Tower Lord said.

‘Fortunately, you broke through,’ Academy Master Chu nodded gently.

‘Those days were too bitter,’ Academy Master Chu said. ‘With you and I breaking through, the situation of the human race has improved a lot. The Cosmos Island Lord can travel in the Mother River, and the human race has the backing to not fear the various races.’

Cosmos Island Lord smiled slightly.

‘And today, Jingming has broken through,’ Academy Master Chu said excitedly. ‘As long as they are sane, no one will provoke an Eternal realm expert of the core world lineage. The foundation of our human race is even more stable!’

Xu Jingming and the other two had not experienced the darkness, and Chi Meng was listening to the dark years, but he could understand the feelings of Academy Master Chu and Eternal Tower Lord.

Just thinking about it, one could understand how pitiful a low-dimensional race was with no Eternal realm experts and only a few Primordial realm high-dimensional lifeforms. How pitiful those high-dimensional lifeforms were.

Some races had been completely destroyed in history. It was not easy for the human race to reach this point today.

‘The Void Sky Race is the same as us, they are all native races from their home universe,’ Academy Master Chu said with a smile. ‘They were once weak and struggling, but after Gu Mo rose, they were the only ones bullying others. And now our human race is also rising and becoming stronger. In the future, our human race will also have beings at the half-step to the third realm,’ Cosmos Island Lord also said.

Xu Jingming and Chi Meng were filled with anticipation after hearing this.

‘By the way, speaking of Gu Mo, today Gu Mo appeared in the Rain Extreme 1209 region, which is the territory of our experimental planet Sequence 2.’

‘Gu Mo is there?’ Academy Master Chu, Tower Lord, Island Lord, and Chi Meng were all puzzled. ‘He and Bu Tanlang, the being at the half-step to the third realm in that territory, have joined forces and are attacking the Bolan Forbidden Ground,’ Xu Jingming explained.

‘Moreover, according to the information Bu Tanlang revealed, Gu Mo may reside in that territory permanently in the future.’

‘Academy Master and the others understood, so it seems the Void Sky God Race has chosen that territory,’ Academy Master Chu guessed.

‘It won’t be long before the Void Sky God Race may migrate on a large scale.’

‘The initial information was that it would be absolutely safe within ten thousand years, but the possibility of a calamity occurring increases as time goes on,’ Eternal Tower Lord said. ‘The Void Sky God Race will definitely migrate within ten thousand years as well.’

‘We also have to migrate within ten thousand years,’ Cosmos Island Lord said.

‘Has everyone decided which territory to choose?’ Xu Jingming asked.

‘Sequence 1. Without special reasons, we should of course choose the universe most suitable for human survival,’ Academy Master Chu said, looking at the others.

Eternal Tower Lord, Cosmos Island Lord, Chi Meng, and Xu Jingming all nodded.

‘Since everyone has no objections, then the territory of Sequence 1 is our tentative new home for the human race,’ Academy Master Chu said.

‘Alright.’

‘Southern Peak 3609 Territory.’ Xu Jingming and the others each clearly defined their goal.

‘There are still nearly three thousand years left until the ten-thousand-year deadline. We have plenty of time, and we can make full preparations,’ Academy Master Chu looked at Xu Jingming. ‘Also, Jingming, now that you have become an Eternal realm expert, you can also access the scientific lineage’s ruins. This is also the greatest opportunity for our human race in high-dimensional space.’
