Chapter 1 The Gift

Within the Void God Clan's territory, in a starfield protected by a powerful seal, floated a black spire towering 12.7 light-years high.

*Whoosh.*

A purple-robed man arrived at one of the doors at the base of the black spire. Without any resistance, he flew inside.

In a corridor filled with dazzling light, two ancient guards stood watch, clad in armor radiating terrifying energy. Inside their armor was only a cloud of mist. They had guarded this place for countless eons.

Since they were created by the Void God Clan's greatest ancestor, Gu Mo, they had faithfully guarded this place. The two guards saw the purple-robed man and said, "Hall Master Tu Tie Mu."

The purple-robed man nodded and continued inside.

As one of the legends of the Lan Da universe who had broken through by cultivating the five great inheritances, Tu Tie Mu naturally held an extremely high position, second only to the high-dimensional lifeforms within the clan!

The black spire was heavily guarded, hiding many secrets of the entire Void God Clan. Tu Tie Mu spent more than half an hour inside before finally arriving at a huge hall.

The hall was empty.

Tu Tie Mu walked to the center of the hall and said, "Envoy Vica, have my nineteen experimental subjects yielded any results in the past millennium?"

"Hall Master Tu Tie Mu, among your nineteen experimental subjects, only Tong Yu Shi of the Fan Duo Ya clan has made a breakthrough in his Tong Yu Stone. It is estimated that he will break through to become a universe legend within ten thousand years!" A majestic voice echoed in the hall.

Tu Tie Mu revealed a look of joy. "About to become a universe legend? Good. I need to experience his path."

"As you wish." Endless starlight spread around!

Tu Tie Mu felt an instant of infinite transcendence, and the endless starlight enveloped the entire universe.

*Whoosh!*

In the endless starlight, a weak life was instantly locked onto—Tong Yu Shi, an unparalleled genius of the universe clan, the Fan Duo Ya clan.

*Whoosh,* this was a gloomy universe prison. The emaciated Tong Yu Shi was imprisoned!

"You will clearly experience all his experiences of the past millennium," the majestic voice sounded.

In an instant, time flowed backward.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years!

Instantly tracing back to the time node a thousand years ago, Tu Tie Mu at this moment was also as if he had possessed Tong Yu Shi, quickly experiencing everything that Tong Yu Shi had experienced.

Tong Yu Shi's sorrow, madness, and erupting desire for destruction.

Occasionally calming down, Tong Yu Shi would frantically begin to paint, creating painting after painting.

When the last painting was completed, Tu Tie Mu, who was experiencing it through possession, was amazed!

"Worthy of being a genius who reached the tenth-order limit in just over a thousand years. After being corrupted and fallen, the desire for destruction influenced him to slaughter all the surrounding lives, including all the lives in his hometown. After waking up, the pain and remorse of destroying his hometown and clan made him fall even deeper. He even begged the clan's Supreme Realm to imprison him."

"I thought that his contribution as an experimental subject would be small."

"Who would have thought that self-imposed imprisonment for more than fifty thousand years would give me such a great surprise."

Tu Tie Mu looked at the painting. "It's a pity that Envoy Vica's high-dimensional observation can almost see through low-dimensional life. But it can only see through various emotional fluctuations, thought fluctuations, and all the interference he has displayed. As for what he is thinking in his heart, it is impossible to truly observe deeply."

"This possession experience can only be considered 60% effective, right?"

…Tu Tie Mu smiled.

"But this painting…" Tu Tie Mu looked at the final successful painting with great fascination. "This is a painting leading to a universe legend. Possessing him once and personally painting it has yielded a lot."

After all, he possessed a complete inheritance of the upper part! The upper part included the complete and orderly inheritance of the foundation and the nascent realm of high-dimensional lifeforms. This made it easier for him to absorb the insights of these contaminated experimental subjects.

The insights of the experimental subjects were very scattered and unsystematic, but because of their outstanding talent, they still comprehended a lot!

*Whoosh.*

The possession ended, and Tu Tie Mu was in a great mood.

"Envoy Vica, if Tong Yu Shi becomes a universe legend, please notify me immediately," Tu Tie Mu said.

"Alright," the majestic voice responded. "Hall Master Tu Tie Mu, Na Tuo Li of the Ka Yong clan, one of your nineteen experimental subjects, has chosen to commit suicide! And he has requested that the clan not revive him."

"Committed suicide!"

Tu Tie Mu frowned. "This waste, who has been crazy for thirty thousand years, actually committed suicide? Did he not want revenge? What a waste!"

He chose geniuses and powerhouses from all races in the universe, who generally had extremely strong willpower. Even if they were contaminated and fallen, they would not easily commit suicide and give up.

"If he commits suicide so easily, he probably won't achieve anything," Tu Tie Mu said. "Envoy Vica, please bring me Wu Ming of the human race."

"Oh? The talent of Wu Ming of the human race should be the most dazzling of this universe. You are planning to make him an experimental subject?" Envoy Vica said with interest.

"Yes!" Tu Tie Mu nodded.

"Alright, I will bring him," Envoy Vica's voice echoed.

Tu Tie Mu soon left the hall.

Inside a treasure vault.

Tu Tie Mu walked inside.

"I want to exchange for treasure number 92," Tu Tie Mu said as he stood inside the treasure vault.

"Treasure number 92 requires the mind to reach a high dimension and the 《Xu Yuan》 inheritance from the five great inheritances to have been entered," a voice sounded from the treasure vault!

Tu Tie Mu nodded. "I know!"

"This Wu Ming is very young, his mind has not reached a high dimension, and he does not have my clan's 《Xu Yuan》 inheritance. But I am not helping him cultivate, but contaminating him."

Tu Tie Mu was very much looking forward to it.

"The exchange costs 5 billion merits," the treasure vault's voice said.

"Exchange," Tu Tie Mu frowned slightly but still said.

Even for one of the Void God Clan's great universe legends, 5 billion merits still made his heart ache.

Soon, a transparent crystal ball descended from the void and appeared in front of Tu Tie Mu.

The seemingly transparent crystal ball faintly contained a terrifying existence! Tu Tie Mu felt a tremor of fear.

"Wu Ming, ah, Wu Ming, the cost of contaminating all the other experimental subjects combined is not as much as you alone. You must not disappoint me," Tu Tie Mu thought to himself.

After putting away the transparent crystal ball, Tu Tie Mu turned and left.

…

Two team members were drinking wine and looking into the distance.

"What is Captain doing?"

"It looks like he is sending a message and chatting with someone."

"After Captain came, he won three consecutive victories. In recent years, the Void God Clan has given up on us here. There hasn't been a single battle!"

"Yeah, I feel like we are not on the front line of the battlefield, but on a tourist vacation."

….The two team members felt that the days were quite comfortable. Although they were tenth-order origin lifeforms, they still had to serve in accordance with the human race's rules.

Most tenth-order origin lifeform service was very dangerous. Although there was a fixed merit distribution every year, once they died in battle, revival required the deduction of a huge amount of merits.

So, not needing to fight and still receiving a fixed merit distribution every year was naturally comfortable.

"The younger generation of the Void God Clan can't do anything about Captain. At Captain's growth rate, it won't be too long before the older generation of the Void God Clan can't do anything about Captain either."

"Yes, Captain became tenth-order at 251 years old, and reached the tenth-order limit at over 300 years old. His growth rate is indeed faster than that of Vice-Dean Chi Meng. Vice-Dean Chi Meng became a universe legend in ten thousand years. Captain is estimated to become a universe legend in three to five thousand years."

"Like me, I have been cultivating for more than fifty thousand years and have not yet reached the tenth-order limit. Compared to Captain, I feel speechless."

"The gap between people is sometimes very big!"

The two team members were very emotional.

Xu Jingming sat on the edge of a fortress, with a light screen in front of him showing his daughter, Xu Li Xing. ""See it?"" Xu Jingming pointed to the surroundings. ""This is a tenth-order war star."""

""Wow.""

Xu Li Xing looked carefully. ""Tenth-order war star. I heard that they are all guarded by a group of tenth-order origin lifeforms. Black holes are not worth mentioning in front of it. It can erupt with a variety of high-dimensional forces. Today, I can finally see the appearance of a tenth-order war star clearly.""

""It's nothing really, ordinary and desolate,"" Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Xu Li Xing saw with excitement ""Dad, just looking at the material on the surface of the war star, I can feel its extraordinary nature. I can't see any particulate matter even when I zoom in many times. The material is obviously very dense.""

""It's all matter reconstructed at the origin power level,"" Xu Jingming said. ""The stability is very high, and it can withstand the confrontation of high-dimensional forces when combined with the protective layer.""

Xu Li Xing nodded. ""By the way, Dad, you said that you can go back often in the future?!"

""Yes.""

Xu Jingming nodded. ""There hasn't been a single battle on the front line. The Universe Human Alliance has notified me that I can temporarily withdraw. I can come back to participate in the war in a few hundred or a few thousand years. Perhaps by then, the Void God Clan will be willing to fight me.""

He was already very idle, and now he was going to completely withdraw from the Void God Clan battlefield.

""Dad, you really should rest. You have been on the front line battlefield for more than three hundred years since you became an origin lifeform,"" Xu Li Xing said. ""Leaving the battlefield can be more relaxing, and the mentality will be different.""

""Even if I leave the Void God Clan battlefield, I will still occasionally go to the Prison Clan battlefield,"" Xu Jingming said.

""Yes,"" Xu Li Xing nodded.

She was also clear that her father was very special among the human race's origin lifeforms! Others could completely withdraw from the battlefield, but her father could not!

Just as the father and daughter were chatting idly, a purple-robed man had arrived hundreds of light-years outside the number 11 tenth-order war star.

""Wu Ming.""

The purple-robed man had anticipation in his eyes.

With the Void God Clan's tracking methods, as long as this human Wu Ming was in the universe, he could not escape tracking and locking, no matter where he was.

""There have been many geniuses throughout the history of the universe, but Wu Ming is the best in the current era,"" the purple-robed man Tu Tie Mu said, his eyes full of fervor.

""Dad, I have an appointment with someone in the virtual world, so I'm going to flash,"" Xu Li Xing said. ""I will also tell Mom that you are coming back.""

….Xu Jingming smiled and watched his daughter. The light screen disappeared.

Just then, the world in front of Xu Jingming changed.

The tenth-order war star and the universe starry sky disappeared. A vast dark world appeared in front of Xu Jingming, causing his expression to change drastically.

He had been unknowingly plunged into an endless dark world. This method far exceeded him. He did not know that this was a being whose strength was comparable to that of Vice-Dean Chi Meng—, and whose mind and will were extremely terrifying.

""Human Wu Ming, I will send you a precious gift,"" a voice echoed throughout the dark world!

*Pa!*

It was as if something had shattered.

Then, Xu Jingming saw him! His figure was infinitely great. Even though he had touched the patterned stone pillar and seen that monster, that monster was far less than one ten-millionth of him.

He seemed to be the end of everything.

The past, the present, the future, all causes and effects, all possibilities, all forces, and even everything in his own cognition, the ultimate end, was him.

Even the black robe he was wearing, the darkness contained in the black robe, instantly submerged the Primal Star in Xu Jingming's mind.

Xu Jingming had contemplated the Primal Star for many years, but at this moment, his cognition of the Primal Star was instantly distorted, turning into a dark Primal Star.

Everything was twisting.

From the moment Xu Jingming was born, his cognition of the world, his cognition of emotions, his cognition of the clan, and his cognition of everything were twisting, and his mind and consciousness were also twisting, completely moving closer to him.

This was complete contamination! It was the contamination and erosion of a weak life by an infinitely great high-dimensional being.

Xu Jingming was still sitting there in a daze, motionless.

But the number nine Primal Battle Armor was terrified. ""There is an external mind invading. I cannot stop it. The master has completely lost consciousness.""

""Return.""
