Chapter 1 The Unexpected Gain

Obtaining an attached universe was merely an unexpected delight. Xu Jingming's life quickly returned to its normal rhythm. Apart from carrying out assassination missions, Xu Jingming devoted almost all of his energy to the path of evolution. Years passed, and Xu Jingming's understanding of the Snake Ring Model deepened.

In the blink of an eye, twenty-five years had passed since he obtained the attached universe.

Black Iron Star.

Inside the manor where Xu Jingming, Senior Brother Jian, and Senior Brother Yi Jiu resided.

In the study.

"Snake Ring? Snake Ring?" Xu Jingming sat there, his mind power penetrating the attached space of his Primal Battle Armor, observing the Heavenly Python Scale stored inside, carefully examining it.

"Space-time is a ring, and life is also a ring."

"When the most basic life structure unit can form a perfect cycle of space-time, matter, and energy, that is the perfect life form in the real universe."

Xu Jingming pondered, "But the Snake Ring Model is also the most difficult of the six major evolutionary models. How to balance each aspect? How to combine them perfectly?"

"Why must the Snake Ring Model be structured in this way?" Xu Jingming's thoughts moved, and the Snake Ring Model gradually began to form before his eyes.

Countless source energies condensed to construct it, instantly creating tens of millions of layers of structural combinations, and continuously building for a full half hour. A Snake Ring source energy model composed of hundreds of billions of layers of structures was formed, roughly the size of a fist.

"Success." Xu Jingming revealed a look of joy.

He had barely managed to construct a complete Snake Ring Model for the first time.

Xu Jingming also knew the problem.

"But the Snake Ring Model must be small enough; it needs to combine with the other five source energy models to form the most basic life unit." Xu Jingming looked at it and thought, "The Snake Ring Model I can construct now is still too big."

"But being able to construct it at all is already a step towards success."

"Within three years!"

"I must achieve miniaturization of the Snake Ring Model within three years." Xu Jingming was very clear that he was getting closer and closer to becoming a tenth-level source life. "I need to continue to deduce the theory of the Snake Ring Model and increase my understanding. The deeper my understanding, the easier miniaturization will be."

Actually, there was also a simplest method: repetitive memorization!

Constructing the Snake Ring Model again and again. Although it was relatively complex, constructing it tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of times, familiarizing oneself with the model to the depths of one's soul, would naturally make miniaturization easier.

But Xu Jingming, after all, also had the ambition to become a universe legend, and even to reach the Supreme Realm. He still pursued a more thorough understanding of the essence. The more solid the foundation, the further one could go.

"Wu Ming, Junior Brother Wu Ming, come over for a drink." A voice came.

"Lu Naxing has broken through, did you know?" Yi Jiu poured the wine and placed the wine cups in front of the two junior brothers. He sat down and said, "It's really enviable and jealous. He hasn't been a tenth-level source life for long, and he has already grasped high-dimensional power."

"Junior Brother Wu Ming, you grasped high-dimensional power when you were a ninth-level source life, isn't that even more amazing?" Senior Brother Jian said with a smile.

"Being able to use high-dimensional power may be due to one's own strong accumulation, or it may be that the high-dimensional object used is relatively special, allowing one to exert high-dimensional power more easily," Xu Jingming said. "I am obviously weaker in knowledge accumulation; I belong to the lucky type."

"Your talent is among the best of this era. The research institute should grant you a more powerful high-dimensional object," Yi Jiu said. "But this Lu Naxing, becoming a tenth-level source life in more than three thousand years is quite excellent. But there are many who are more talented than him; Junior Brother Jian is stronger than him. But I am still very surprised that he can master high-dimensional power so quickly."

"Senior Brother An Xing, he should have had some fortuitous encounters," Senior Brother Jian said.

Even a fool could guess that.

After all, he had only been a tenth-level for several hundred years. Without special encounters, how could he exert high-dimensional power?

"There are many people with fortuitous encounters. Senior Brother An Xing has talent and encounters, so it's normal for him to have such achievements." Xu Jingming said as he ate meat, not taking it to heart at all. He was confident that he would break through to become a tenth-level source life within two years.

His speed in becoming a tenth-level was much faster than Lu Naxing's.

In addition, in terms of encounters, he had the Number Nine Primal Battle Armor, and he also obtained an attached universe by chance. How could Xu Quanming envy others?

"You can't underestimate Lu Naxing," Yi Jiu said. "Because he has grasped high-dimensional power, he has been promoted to the first in line to the throne in the Yuans Star civilization."

Once the current emperor abdicates, Lu Naxing will ascend to become the emperor of the Yuans Star civilization. At that time, his influence and power will be completely different.

Xu Jingming and Senior Brother Jian were both stunned. The emperor of a high-level universe civilization indeed controlled resources far beyond what ordinary kings could compare to.

The Primal Battle Armor? The Yuans Star civilization's national treasure is no less than the Number Nine Primal Battle Armor.

Speaking of the Yuans Star civilization's national treasure, it was also prepared for the family by the Dean.

"He has been promoted to first in line, and many source lives in the research institute have already sent congratulatory gifts." Yi Jiu looked at Xu Jingming and Senior Brother Jian. "Have you two sent congratulatory gifts?"

"He was only promoted in line; there's no need to send congratulatory gifts, right?" Senior Brother Jian frowned slightly.

"According to normal rules, one would naturally have to send a congratulatory gift for officially inheriting the throne," Xu Jingming also said. "There's no need for just a promotion in line, right?"

Under normal circumstances, when one becomes a ninth-level, tenth-level, universe legend, or is officially crowned king by the civilization, or ascends the throne as emperor!

For these important events, everyone would send a congratulatory gift.

As for other breakthroughs in strength, promotions in line, or job promotions, they were generally not celebrated in a big way.

"He's only three thousand years old, and the current emperor is over eighty thousand years old. The probability of Na Xing inheriting the throne is extremely high. Isn't it normal to curry favor with an emperor in advance?" Yi Jiu said with a smile.

"Did you send one?" Senior Brother Jian asked.

"No," Yi Jiu shook his head.

"Then that's that."

Senior Brother Jian was too lazy to say more. He had cultivated for a short time, and his *Mirror Domain* had reached the level of the number one in the universe human race. At his level, the goal was to become a universe legend. He was unwilling to get involved in power struggles at all. So what if he was an emperor? He couldn't control him!

"Drink." Xu Jingming raised his cup. He was even less concerned. Once he became a tenth-level, his strength would skyrocket, and his influence would increase greatly.

His hometown was in the Hunter Cosmic Sector. The emperor of the Yuans Star civilization also couldn't control it. He could normally associate with an emperor of a high-level civilization, but there was no need to curry favor.

Xu Jingming's ambition surpassed even Senior Brother Jian and the others. He not only wanted to become a universe legend, but also to attack the Supreme Realm. The Dean had already been full of expectations for him when he saw him back then.

Because his goal was lofty, even though he was confident that he could attack the tenth level within three years, Xu Jingming had no arrogance.

Compared to his goal, what was becoming a tenth-level?

The three of them drank and chatted.

"In recent years, the Prison Clan's Monarch Mo You has been increasingly crazy." Senior Brother Jian put down his wine cup, somewhat worried. "He has repeatedly participated in plundering various medium and large-scale plundering, and even frequently carries out small-scale plundering."

Xu Jingming also put down his wine cup and said solemnly, "Yes! We have also carried out several assassinations, but we can't deter him at all."

"Yes, many tenth-level source lives have been devoured by him," Senior Brother Jian nodded. Tenth-level source lives, as the backbone of the human race, would definitely be resurrected by the Supreme Realm, but it would also come at a price.

"It's very strange." Yi Jiu nodded slightly. "Logically speaking, our destruction of part of his Nightmare World would hurt his mind and affect his fusion with the high-dimensional object. He should have restrained himself after being injured. But in recent years, he has not restrained himself at all, plundering again and again, and continuing to plunder even when injured."

"Tenth-level source lives can't stop him, and life planets are being slaughtered by him one by one." Xu Jingming was also angry and helpless. Although he had deterred the most numerous ninth-level Prison Clan members, he could not threaten Monarch Mo You.

Xu Jingming didn't even dare to appear near Monarch Mo You. He would throw Senior Brother Yi Jiu, Senior Brother Jian, and other companions to Monarch Mo You from the high-dimensional space. In the past, Monarch Mo You was somewhat afraid.

But recently, he had gone somewhat mad.

"He's a little crazy." Yi Jiu's eyes were cold. "This is not good. As one of the Prison Clan's Ten Monarchs, his control over high-dimensional objects is extremely high. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so crazy."

"There are two possibilities for such madness: one, he has made a new breakthrough in his Nightmare Power. Two, he is beginning to be assimilated by the high-dimensional." Yi Jiu's expression was solemn.

"Neither of these possibilities is good." Senior Brother Jian also nodded. Xu Jingming also knew the situation was serious, but he couldn't do anything about it.

A solitary planet had only Monarch Mo You as a life form.

He sat alone on the throne, somewhat painfully, lowering his head and covering his eyes. A virtual Nightmare World completely enveloped the entire planet. Virtual shadows roared and howled on the planet, as if they had descended from the virtual into reality.

"Abyss, abyss. Great abyss." Monarch Mo You murmured to himself. He slowly raised his head, and his originally emerald green eyes had become pitch black. The pitch-black eyes were even more terrifying.

"Every time I glimpse a historical period that these eyes have experienced, although it is very painful and torturous, I will gradually grow stronger. I have also become one of the Prison Clan's Ten Monarchs because of this. But I didn't expect, I didn't expect that I would actually see the abyss."

In the high-dimensional space, the greatest celestial body was the Primal Star, but there was also an extremely terrifying and vast area: the abyss.

The abyss's reputation was widespread.

Many high-dimensional objects came from it. Like the Eternal Scholar Tower Master, one of the three Supreme Realm existences of the universe human race, he focused on studying the abyss.

Monarch Mo You, after all, was just a life form within the real universe. He was not qualified to glimpse the abyss.

When he arrived in front of the abyss, he couldn't even see it.

But he saw it through the memories of these eyes.

"I saw the abyss, and the abyss has also affected me. These eyes and I are merging even more deeply." Monarch Wei You murmured. He stretched out his hands, and in his hands were a pair of closed eyes.

In his chest, there was also an eye gestating. His body was uncontrollably gradually transforming.

The abyss, how could he glimpse it?

"As long as I reach the universe legend and completely comprehend the essence of high-dimensional power, I can perfectly control these eyes and no longer have to worry about the danger of assimilation." Monarch Mo You murmured, then covered his eyes again, trembling somewhat painfully.
