Chapter 135 Observing Space

In the observation space, the 352 forces of the Hunter Cosmos Domain were separated by invisible barriers, with observers from neighboring forces able to do little more than exchange verbal taunts, unable to breach the barriers and physically interfere.

Observer Chang was still observing Xu Jingming when a short, stout man from another force deliberately mocked, "Observer Chang, it seems that your Wu Gou Star Alliance hasn't had anyone reach the Fifth Planet in the last three batches. Perhaps this newcomer will have a chance."

"Look at how pleased you are with yourself," the thin man in black chuckled.

"Can't help it, two of our Jiu Yu Star Alliance explorers have reached the Fifth Planet in the last three batches!" the short, stout man said smugly.

The thin man said calmly, "In the last three batches, about 180,000 explorers, only two hundred or so have reached the Fifth Planet. It's normal that no one from our Wu Gou Star Alliance has made it. After all, there are 185 star alliances in the entire Hunter Cosmos City."

"Look!"

The short, stout man widened his eyes. "That genius from our Jiu Yu Star Alliance has already passed the 'Neutron Star' test on the Fifth Planet and entered the Sixth Planet! Wow! Being able to enter the Sixth Planet means his talent has reached the limit of the eighth level, no problem."

"The Sixth Planet!"

"Another one enters the Sixth Planet."

Other forces also noticed the genius from the Jiu Yu Star Alliance.

The thin man watched in silence. Such talent would be fought over by at least regional-level forces.

"Our Wu Gou Star Alliance hasn't had anyone reach the Fifth Planet in the last three batches," the thin man said, feeling displeased.

"Haha," the short, stout man laughed. "Observer Chang, don't worry, don't panic. Maybe this newcomer on the Fourth Planet with the gun holster is a peerless genius who can directly rush to the Seventh Planet."

Observer Chang glared at the short, stout man.

He endured the other's sarcasm! He couldn't hit the other man in the observation space, so he could only endure his taunts.

He was truly bad at such verbal sparring.

Xu Jingming learned from Di Ya'nuo that there was an observation space and that the seventeen top forces and 352 forces of Hunter Cosmos City were secretly observing. But Xu Jingming didn't care.

He was just a young man who had emerged from Blue Star Civilization, having just reached the seventh-level Starry Sky lifeform. His minimum goal was to set foot on the Fifth Planet, and he didn't want to think about anything else.

"The final obstacle to joining a regional-level force," Xu Jingming said, observing the planet before him.

The Fourth Planet was a living planet.

Lush forests stretched as far as the eye could see, with no traces of intelligent life.

"Let's take a look at the test on the Fourth Planet," Xu Jingming said, standing at the starting point and opening his personal panel to view the details of the test.

Fourth Planet: On this living planet, there are ten strange places, also known as the 'Places of Submersion'.

Please go to the ten Places of Submersion and retrieve the tokens.

Once you have collected ten tokens! You can pass through the 'Micro Wormhole' to reach the Fifth Planet.

"Places of Submersion, tokens?" Xu Jingming frowned slightly. "Explorers are still prohibited from touching or interfering with each other, so the tokens can only be found by oneself and cannot be snatched."

Yes.

From the First Planet onwards, these cosmos citizens were prohibited from touching each other. Once touched, the one who initiated the contact would be judged to have violated the rules and would be kicked back to the 'starting point' to start again.

"Places of Submersion?"

Xu Jingming looked at the markings on the map. "They are scattered in different places on this planet. I'll go to the nearest one first."

Changing into close-fitting soft armor and carrying his gun holster, Xu Jingming traveled light and went through the forest in search of the first Place of Submersion.

After observing the map, Xu Jingming had already worked out the shortest route to avoid unnecessary detours.

"The first Place of Submersion is up ahead," Xu Jingming said, seeing a large lake in front of him. This lake in the forest had an estimated diameter of ten miles, surrounded by various flowers and plants, with a thin mist spreading around the lake.

As soon as Xu Jingming entered the range of the mist, he felt the scene before him change.

It turned into a magnificent palace, with many beautiful women surrounding him, serving him.

"I am the king of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom, this is my palace?" Heavy memories flooded in, and Xu Jingming felt as if he were the king of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom, with the beauties in the palace trying to please him.

"No, I am Xu Jingming, I am here at the Place of Submersion to find the token," Xu Jingming forcibly shook off the heavy memories.

Although he barely maintained clarity, the memories of the King of Flowing Cloud Kingdom continued to envelop him. The memories included various erotic affairs, all extremely pleasurable! And at this moment, the beauties from those memories were right in front of him.

"So good at enjoying life?" Xu Jingming was also stimulated by the erotic memories, and a large amount of memories wanted to integrate into him.

"If I really sink down, what will Qing Yu think..." Xu Jingming shuddered, and the image of his daughter's angry face appeared in his mind. Xu Jingming tried his best to resist the King of Flowing Cloud Kingdom memories that were constantly covering him. Xu Jingming got up and quickly searched for the token.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, why don't you pay attention to Nian'er?" The beauties chased after Xu Jingming.

While resisting the increasingly detailed memories of the King of Flowing Cloud Kingdom, Xu Jingming searched for the token.

He found that he could not leave the palace.

"It must be within the palace," Xu Jingming searched within the palace.

As time passed, resisting the memories became more and more difficult, and Xu Jingming felt that even his "Xu Jingming" memories were beginning to blur and mix.

"I am Xu Jingming, this is the Place of Submersion, it's all fake, fake," Xu Jingming said. After searching for more than an hour, he finally found the token in the arms of a beauty.

The moment he obtained the token.

The palace disappeared!

Xu Jingming found himself standing in the forest, with the lake and the surrounding mist in front of him.

Xu Jingming woke up as if from a dream. Everything about the King of Flowing Cloud Kingdom had become blurred, like a dream experience.

"If I had relaxed even a little just now, the memories of the King of Flowing Cloud Kingdom would have completely integrated into my memory, and I would have forgotten my own identity," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "And it was too tempting! Perhaps some explorers will think it's okay to try it out, even if they fail once, they can start again."

"If you have a fluke mentality, it will be difficult to collect all ten tokens," Xu Jingming thought.

Xu Jingming walked hundreds of miles again and came to the next place, which was a large mine with red mist spreading out.

"I must go in to find the token," Xu Jingming walked towards the red mist.

Buzz.

As soon as he entered, the scene before his eyes changed.

Xu Jingming was on the top floor of a towering building, able to clearly see small spaceships shuttling through the void, descending onto the planet from nowhere.

"Chairman, the dividends from Golden Silk Group, a total of 350 billion cosmos credits, have all been credited."

"Chairman, the family's annual allowance, a total of 5 trillion cosmos credits, has also been credited."

"Chairman, Prince Liu Sheng of the Qu Wu Civilization has returned the fifth installment, which is 200 billion cosmos credits."

"Chairman..."

Illusory figures stood before him, reporting respectfully.

Xu Jingming sat there, his mind enveloped by extremely magnificent and vast memories.

"I am Kong Jiu Yu, the 97th child of 'King Kong', one of the twelve Kings of the Gu He Civilization, one of the three advanced cosmos civilizations," Xu Jingming was stunned by the vast memories he came into contact with.

The wealth owned by Kong Jiu Yu, his annual cash flow, was unbelievably large.

"Kong Jiu Yu, isn't that the creator of the legendary Jiu Yu Civilization? Even the entire Jiu Yu Star Alliance is named after him?" Xu Jingming was shocked. At the moment he was shocked, a large number of memories covered him.

His own memories quickly blurred, and Kong Jiu Yu's memories completely covered him.

The scene disappeared.

Xu Jingming reappeared in front of the mine, looking at the red mist in front of him. He had failed and had been kicked out of the Place of Submersion.

"As soon as I came into contact with that memory, I was shocked. When I was shocked, that vast memory covered my own memory? I failed to maintain myself, so the test failed," Xu Jingming understood.

"The memory content I came into contact with should be from Kong Jiu Yu's youth. After all, later on, he established the intermediate cosmos civilization 'Jiu Yu Civilization', naming the entire star alliance after him!" Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Kong Jiu Yu's father was 'King Kong', one of the twelve Kings of the advanced cosmos civilization Gu He Civilization.

Kong Jiu Yu was born noble!

But his talent on the path of evolution was not high. However, his talent in business was unbelievable, and he even used money to transform himself into a 'Source Lifeform'. Kong Jiu Yu was also the most accomplished of King Kong's many children.

"This is the legendary figure in the Human Cosmos Alliance who controls huge amounts of wealth?" Xu Jingming exclaimed. A little bit that the other party leaked could drown Blue Star Civilization.

Kong Jiu Yu's identity as a prince only gave him the starting funds.

After all, even King Kong himself could not build an intermediate cosmos civilization from scratch.

An intermediate civilization must first have a tenth-level powerhouse", and there are various requirements for the accumulation of technology and military strength, so a large number of scholars are needed. The breadth of the domain and the number of civilizations and populations are very high.

"If I could truly experience Kong Jiu Yu's detailed memories and perceive his thoughts, what would it matter if I sank ten or a hundred times?" Xu Jingming thought to himself. "Unfortunately, in the Place of Submersion, I only came into contact with a little bit of the surface and could not touch the essence of his thinking."

What he came into contact with was only the powerful business map information of Kong Jiu Yu when he was young.

It is very difficult to replicate a person's thoughts.

The mental imprints left by the cosmos legends are only a few scenes they experienced. "I'll try again. This time, I have to resist it."

Xu Jingming walked towards the mine again.

Beauty, money, power, individual power, food, compassion, hatred, anger...

The ten Places of Submersion either targeted personal pursuits, desires, or even infected and resonated with strong emotions. In short, as long as one was slightly affected, one would sink and fail the test.

On June 1st, Xu Jingming had already reached the eighth Place of Submersion, which was anger.

All kinds of situations that aroused anger.

The tragedy of the world, how could Xu Jingming not be angry? He couldn't suppress his anger, but he would sink if he was influenced by his emotions.

"I'll log off first."

Xu Jingming failed three times in a row and logged off first. "Today, I have to send off Envoy Di Ya'nuo."

***

On June 1, 2083, a spaceship departed from Blue Star and arrived at Firefly Star.

Through the ship's wall, Xu Jingming could see the scene outside, seeing Di Ya'nuo sitting on the ship's hull in the distance. At this moment, Di Ya'nuo seemed a little lonely, silently looking at the starry sky.

The spaceship approached, the hatch opened, and a group of Blue Star Civilization executives and Xu Jingming flew out.

"Envoy," everyone saluted.

"The protection period for Blue Star Civilization has officially ended," Di Ya'nuo said, sitting on the hull of his spaceship and looking at the people of Blue Star Civilization. "Today, I will also leave Blue Star Civilization and return to the Human Cosmos Alliance headquarters."

"Thank you, Envoy, for your protection over the years. We, Blue Star Civilization, will never forget it," said Secretary-General Angus.

Di Ya'nuo looked at these people and observed them for a few seconds before saying, "Xu Jingming, you talk to me for a while. Everyone else, please return to the spaceship first."

The Blue Star executives looked at each other, saluted immediately, and returned to the spaceship.

Xu Jingming then flew to Di Ya'nuo's side.

"How's the exploration of the mysterious place going?" Di Ya'nuo asked with a smile.

"On the Fourth Planet," Xu Jingming said. "Perhaps I can enter the Fifth Planet."

"Very good,"

Di Ya'nuo said, "However, you still have to work hard to enter the Seventh Planet, and even comprehend the opportunity to enter, and join the seventeen top forces! Because with the training of the seventeen top forces, your hope of becoming a Source Lifeform will be greater."

Xu Jingming nodded.

He also longed to become a Source Lifeform! That would change the fate of the entire Blue Star Civilization.

"Without becoming a Source Lifeform, you will have to struggle in the circle of low-level civilizations among humans in the cosmos for the rest of your life," Di Ya'nuo said. "Only by reaching a higher level of life can you, who come from Blue Star Civilization, hope to step into the circle of the real core group of humans in the cosmos. You and I will also have a chance to help each other in the future."

Once Di Ya'nuo decided to start his own business, with his resources, he would start at the top.

"The core group of humans in the cosmos?" Xu Jingming exclaimed. "It's indeed very far away from me, but I will work hard."

Di Ya'nuo nodded.

"If you personally encounter big trouble, remember to contact me," Di Ya'nuo said. "After all, we are friends."

Xu Jingming nodded, "Okay."

He understood what Di Ya'nuo meant. Blue Star Civilization, as a new civilization, would encounter trouble one after another after the end of the protection period. This was normal, and almost every new civilization had gone through this.

Di Ya'nuo was unwilling to be an umbrella for the civilization.

But he was willing to help Xu Jingming personally.

"You just say 'Okay'?" Di Ya'nuo was speechless.

Xu Jingming nodded, "We are friends."

"Haha," Di Ya'nuo got up, "I'm leaving."

Xu Jingming also flew aside.

"The next time we meet in reality, you must become a Source Lifeform," Di Ya'nuo turned his head and said. Xu Jingming nodded, and Di Ya'nuo entered the spaceship.

The spaceship rippled through space and disappeared out of thin air, having already left the Wu Gou Star Alliance! Xu Jingming stood in the sky above Firefly Star, silently looking at the starry sky before him.
