Chapter 1 A Dark Beginning

In the dim land, Lu Naxing stood alone, watching the calm lake before him. "After Xu Jingming was contaminated by high-dimensional power, his temperament changed greatly."

Lu Naxing pondered, "His actions are more arbitrary, yet he remains within the tolerance range of the three Supreme Realms."

"Although none of the third realm high-dimensional contamination experimental subjects have ever reached the Supreme Realm, some have become Cosmic Legends. With Xu Jingming's talent, he should be able to become a Cosmic Legend quickly. Otherwise, the country would not invest so heavily in him."

Becoming a Cosmic Legend...

"The price is high because they believe Xu Jingming will definitely have extremely high comprehension."

"Now he's so unbridled. If he becomes a Cosmic Legend, who can stop him?" Lu Naxing mused. "The emperor's status is meaningless to him. I have to change my approach."

Lu Naxing was able to climb to the position of emperor step by step in the royal struggle, not only because of his high talent in the evolutionary path but also because of his scheming. In fact, his younger brother Lu Naduo's murder came too suddenly, and Lu Naxing was a little dazed... For the sake of the emperor's dignity, he couldn't back down! In fact, the three major clans were on the same side in maintaining the imperial dignity, which was something the three allied royal families had always upheld. "This trial, if it fails..."

"Good, then no one can blame me for being too weak in the future."

A figure arrived in this world; it was a middle-aged man, Lu Naxing's father.

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with anxiety.

"Is this matter over?" the middle-aged man asked. "What about your brother?"

"What else can I do?" Lu Naxing looked at his father. "Continue to provoke Wu Ming until he gets angry and kills me too?"

The middle-aged man said with grief and helplessness, "I know I can't afford to offend that Wu Ming, but your brother, he's your only sibling. I heard from Jia that the Supreme Realm can revive people. Why don't you put your brother on the revival list?"

"Revival?"

Lu Naxing shook his head. "The detailed information from this joint investigation team is enough to sentence Lu Naduo to death! A person deemed to be sentenced to death is not eligible to be on the revival list."

"Death sentence?" The middle-aged man was somewhat dazed.

"You are the Emperor of Yuan Star Civilization, and you can't even save your brother? I'm not asking for much, just for him to live..."

"He can't live," Lu Naxing shook his head. "Alright, Father, you can leave."

...The middle-aged man looked at his son. "The three major royal clans joined forces in the court, but they couldn't defeat Wu Ming."

Lu Naxing looked at his father, "Are you trying to force me?"

"I understand." The middle-aged man nodded and left in disappointment.

Lu Naxing watched his father leave, and the entire dim world was left with him alone. "I am the emperor, I can pardon my brother, at least spare him the death penalty," Lu Naxing murmured.

"Afterwards, I can put him on the revival list, and in the next revival, he can be revived along with many other origin lifeforms."

The Xia Clan is willing to revive origin lifeforms, but for ordinary lives that have no significant value to the human race, it costs a full 100 million merits to revive them.

To spend 100 million merits for Lu Naduo...

Lu Naxing gently shook his head.

"Moreover, his death is also a good thing."

"One less burden."

Lu Naxing looked at the calm lake before him.

...

Virtual world network, Xu Yuan Group. After the world trial ended, Xu Jingming came here.

"My every word and action are constantly aligning with the Lord of Xu Yuan. I can feel the changes in myself." Xu Jingming was high in the palace, overlooking the scenery.

"Receiving more high-dimensional information, the path of Heart Realm Force is smooth."

"Improving in all aspects," Xu Jingming had no joy.

"The deeper the Imitation Method goes, the faster the progress, but the more dangerous it becomes."

Xu Jingming murmured. He was now very cautious in every step, trying to avoid imitating the Lord of Xu Yuan's emotions and consciousness, hoping that the Imitation Method could last longer.

A group of disciples came near and respectfully saluted together. Xu Jingming turned around and looked at these 30 disciples.

"The initial experimental results are good. Continue to handle affairs well. The group's life science, agricultural, and animal husbandry planets will all be handed over to you. In the future..."

"Over time, you will need to compete with each other."

"The more outstanding one will receive more rewards," Xu Jingming looked at them. "But it is forbidden to hinder each other."

Xu Jingming nodded, and the disciples left.

Wu Qi, who was on the side, waited for all the disciples to leave before saying, "Young Master, there are so many planets in the group. You're handing them all over to these disciples. They're all very young. The group's affairs can be handed over to more mature managers."

"This is also for the Imitation Method."

"The Lord of Xu Yuan also had disciples who fought on all sides." Xu Jingming, as the leader of the Xu Yuan Group, divided the business almost evenly into 30 parts, with each disciple responsible for one part. To what extent the disciples could strive was up to them.

"Uncle Qi," Xu Jingming looked at him.

"I need you to supervise them to ensure they don't kill each other and ensure it's healthy competition."

"Don't worry, Young Master."

Wu Qi nodded. Among these disciples were his own son and daughter.

...

The Xu Yuan Group established 30 new subsidiaries, and Xu Jingming's 30 disciples each became the head of a subsidiary.

Time flowed. They needed to work hard in the first evolutionary path, and they also had to put their hearts into the group's business. They all wanted to please their master, Xu Jingming.

...

Hunter Cosmic Sector, Frost Star Alliance, Qu Erqi Star. This native planet, originally with five countries standing side by side, had a human lifespan generally measured in decades, and reaching a hundred years old was considered a miracle. This planet also had some martial artists, but martial artists were just a joke in front of the army.

Some young heroes from the martial world came to the foot of the Divine Mountain, looking up at the Divine Hall. "The Divine Hall has only appeared in the world for seven years, but it has completely changed the world."

The young heroes chatted with each other.

...

And above the Divine Mountain,

"They are extremely respectful."

"How is the talent cultivation on Qu Erqi Star?" Wu Chengan sat there. As one of Xu Jingming's personally named disciples, he held great power for a long time.

His every word and action already had a lot of power. After all, no one in the subsidiary could defy his will.

"Lord, Qu Erqi Star adopts the Divine Hall's third model for cultivation, making it easier for the planet's native residents to accept. In the seven years since, Qu Erqi Star has cultivated 1,039 third-level lifeforms."

Wu Chengan frowned.

"You should summarize it carefully. I hope that next time, you can give me some surprises." These managers breathed a sigh of relief; their jobs were saved. If their performance was too poor, they were afraid they would lose this valuable job on the spot.

Half a day later, Wu Chengan went to see the latest batch of recruited young people.

"Lord, please."

The Divine Hall's Hall Master accompanied Wu Chengan, looking at the young people in the square and explaining in a low voice, "This is the fifth batch of recruits this year, a total of 7,902 people."

Wu Chengan observed these young people and nodded slightly.

"Your performance can only be considered average. If there is no significant progress in three years... your rank will drop two levels, and you will go to manage agricultural and animal husbandry planets."

"Yes, Lord, I will definitely not disappoint you." The Divine Hall's Hall Master respectfully said.

...

On a chaotic pirate planet.

Xu Jingming sat on the balcony, watching the distant cannon fire.

"The Xu Yuan Group is developing steadily, and the disciples are all working very hard. I have also been using spearmanship to train my heart in the Dou Zhan World," Xu Jingming thought.

"I am also becoming more and more in sync with the Lord of Xu Yuan."

Sitting on the balcony, he had a blurred shadow behind him; it was the manifestation of the Xu Yuan Shadow.

"A large group of people with technological weapons surrounded a man.

"Haha, you black-hearted shop, you dare to bully me! You're courting death!"

A man with a metal skull laughed strangely. His body had obviously undergone special mechanical modification. "One million cosmic coins. Give me the money, and this matter is over. Otherwise..."

"Hahaha, I'm so scared!"

The metal skull man laughed wildly. His companions were even more unscrupulous, and without warning, his companions launched an attack one by one.

The attack did not care about the surroundings, causing explosions on both sides of the street, buildings collapsed, and some pirates died in their sleep.

Xu Jingming shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, both groups stopped, each standing there numbly and blankly, then each chose to commit suicide. Watching this scene, Xu Jingming smiled, smiling happily.

In the seven years since the trial ended, Xu Jingming had tried to avoid the Lord of Xu Yuan's emotions and consciousness when performing the Imitation Method. But other aspects were completely imitated, and over time, it had already gone deep into his bones.

Xu Jingming smiled, looking at this chaotic pirate planet, and suddenly, he saw a more real side of this pirate planet.

"High dimension..."

...It turned out that after years of performing the Imitation Method, unknowingly, his heart had already transformed to a high-dimensional level.
