Chapter 1 Welcoming Guests

Blue Star, Xu Jingming's home.

"Jingming, will over twenty Origin Life experts be attending your celebration for breaking through to become an Origin Life?" Li Miaomiao asked. "I checked the virtual world network, and other Origin Life celebrations usually have simple procedures."

"They insisted on coming, and I couldn't refuse," Xu Jingming said, sitting on the sofa and looking at the light screen. "Actually, the Wu Hook Star Alliance, including me, has a total of 891 Origin Life experts. Most of them just send a congratulatory letter and a gift."

"Origin Life experts are busy, and many can't easily leave their posts. Sending a congratulatory letter and a gift is the most common. It's just that your husband has enough face; they all insisted on coming," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

Li Miaomiao asked curiously, "What kind of gifts do Origin Life experts send?"

"Almost all of them are worth 100 billion universe coins," Xu Jingming said. "According to the level of gifts exchanged between Origin Life experts, becoming a ninth-order Origin Life usually warrants a gift worth 10 billion universe coins. Only becoming a tenth-order Origin Life warrants 100 billion universe coins. Obviously, everyone is giving me gifts one level higher this time."

The level of gifts represents the degree of importance attached.

No one would regard Xu Jingming as an ordinary ninth-order Origin Life.

"Over 800 people, each giving 100 billion in gifts?" Li Miaomiao exclaimed.

"Origin Life experts also have dealings with each other. If I accept their money this time, I'll have to spend money in the future," Xu Jingming said. "Moreover, the gifts this time don't just come from the Wu Hook Star Alliance. Some forces in the Hunter Cosmos Domain, and even some major forces in other Cosmos Domains, have sent gifts. The amounts aren't large, but it's still a sign of respect. When I participated in the Cosmos Peak Tournament as Wu Ming, these forces also did full-platform advertising promotions for me."

Li Miaomiao nodded understandingly. "Jingming, you have to give me these lists. We need to pay attention to these things in future group collaborations."

"You're so thoughtful, Miaomiao," Xu Jingming said with a smile, nodding. He immediately swiped and sent his wife a copy of the list of gifts and their amounts.

"Hmm?"

Xu Jingming raised his head and looked towards space outside Blue Star.

"What's wrong?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"I have to go out to meet some guests," Xu Jingming said, getting up.

"You're personally meeting guests?" Li Miaomiao was surprised. Recently, the Blue Star civilization had been welcoming the guests attending the celebration. Xu Jingming would meet those with sufficiently high status separately later.

But personally welcoming them? This was a first for Xu Jingming!

…

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming appeared in a patch of starry sky in the Solar System, watching a ship that looked like flowing water emerge from distorted space in front of him. The ship then disappeared, and three figures appeared.

"Brother Wu Ming." The three of them looked at Xu Jingming with a smile.

"Welcome to the Blue Star civilization, the three of you," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"We've only met in the virtual world network before; this is the first time we're meeting in reality," said an elderly man with emerald hair. His golden eyes were like two stars that had retracted their light, and his smile was friendly.

"Seeing Junior Brother Wu Ming makes me feel old," a silver-haired woman said with a smile.

"Among all the Origin Life experts in the human race of the universe, I think everyone feels like an old fogey compared to Brother Wu Ming," a one-eyed man in plain black clothes said with a smile.

Xu Jingming said, "Compared to the three of you, I'm still a newbie. To be honest, I'm still struggling with the most basic 'space-time wormhole model' recently."

"If you have any questions, you can ask me. I can still teach Junior Brother these simple things," the silver-haired woman said.

"If Senior Sister Free will teach me, I'll naturally be happy to learn," Xu Jingming said.

Madam Free was the scholar with the highest academic level in the Wu Hook Star Alliance; she was a level-126 scholar! She was also a member of the Primordial Research Institute and held a very esteemed position. "Don't worry, we'll ensure their rights aren't harmed," Besa said. "We negotiate with each civilization individually, and we offer sufficiently good migration conditions. They will migrate to other star systems, they will have new life planets, and they will also receive some compensation."

"Civilization migration will be watched by countless other civilizations in the entire Wu Hook Star Alliance, so the plan must be fair enough," Madam Free also said. "Otherwise, many civilizations will be disappointed, and many councilors will object."

Xu Jingming nodded.

No matter how fair or how much compensation there was, the other civilizations in the Milky Way were still going to undergo a major migration.

But…

The Blue Star civilization needed to develop, and there was no other way.

The civilization competition among the human race of the universe was so cruel; perhaps, the three Supreme Realm experts wanted to create such competition! Sufficient competition could hone more human powerhouses and resist foreign enemies.

If Xu Jingming had just integrated into the universe's civilizations and found a very comfortable environment with no danger where he could enjoy himself, he probably wouldn't be working so hard.

"After your celebration, we will nominate you to become an 'Executive Councilman' of the Council of Elders, also the ninth Executive Councilman of the Wu Hook Star Alliance," Besa said. "All members of the Council of Elders will vote on it. With your achievements, I believe you will pass easily."

"As long as two-thirds pass, I believe few will object," Madam Free said with a smile.

Indeed, every councilor had written Xu Jingming a congratulatory letter and sent a gift, so the possibility of objecting to this matter was very low.

"Serving as an Executive Councilman is indeed daunting, as I have no experience," Xu Jingming said. "However, I will be diligent."

"Experience is accumulated slowly."

Mr. Shenshui, Madam Free, and Mr. Besa had a very profound influence in the Wu Hook Star Alliance, and at this moment, they were all very willing to bring Xu Jingming into their circle.

They also believed that Xu Jingming would be the fifth member of the Universe Human Alliance Council from the Wu Hook Star Alliance in the near future.

——

His Highness Luno Duo sat on the throne of his spaceship. The spaceship was still on its way to the Yuan Star civilization. After all, crossing many cosmos domains was a long journey that would take a long time.

"In two days, it will be Xu Jingming's celebration."

"I need to send a congratulatory gift before the celebration."

Luno Duo hesitated. Li Miaomiao listened.

Was a lifespan of three thousand years short? She felt that it was a very long time, and she was content.

"Miaomiao, I'll chat with my three friends," Xu Jingming said.

"Okay," Li Miaomiao said. "Then, please excuse me."

The three of them smiled and nodded, watching Li Miaomiao leave.

"Brother Wu Ming, actually, Zang Gu also wanted to come, but he's stationed at a fortress with a heavy mission and can't leave," the one-eyed Besa explained. "He also asked me to personally express his apologies to you."

"Guarding the fortress is a major matter," Xu Jingming said.

Mr. Zang Gu was another tenth-order Origin Life expert of the Wu Hook Star Alliance.

The three people in front of him, plus Mr. Zang Gu, were the four people with the highest status in the Wu Hook Star Alliance! They were also members of the Universe Human Alliance Council.

The entire Wu Hook Star Alliance… only had these four councilors for the time being.

"You are the fastest person in the history of our Wu Hook Star Alliance to become an Origin Life expert, so the Wu Hook Star Alliance naturally has a reason to give you a sufficiently high talent reward," Besa said. "Our Executive Councilmen have already held a meeting and unanimously approved the previous reward plan."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"The reward plan is according to what we agreed on before," Besa explained. "We will migrate all the other civilizations in the Milky Way away. At that time, apart from the star system where the Blue Star civilization is located, the other territories of the Milky Way will be awarded to you personally, and you will own everything in it."

"At the same time, all the life planets in the Milky Way that do not have a 'virtual host' will be equipped by us," Besa said. "And we will leave enough intelligent robots to ensure that every life planet is perfectly handed over to you."

"At the same time, if the humans of the Blue Star civilization want to migrate to these planets, we will also arrange for spaceships to cooperate," Besa said. "In short, everything will be perfectly handed over."

"Thank you for your trouble," Xu Jingming said.

A star system like the Milky Way that had been managed for so long was very valuable.

"This is from the official account of the Wu Hook Star Alliance," the emerald-haired old man said with a smile. "The official account has a lot of expenditure on cultivating talents, and you, the most outstanding talent in history, naturally deserve a sufficient talent reward. Otherwise, if a talent like you runs away, it would be the biggest loss to our Wu Hook Star Alliance."

"Those civilizations that are being migrated away from the Milky Way…" Xu Jingming began. Although they didn't have much talent in the direction of the evolutionary path, the official forces of the universe human race were sparing no expense to help him become an Origin Life expert.

"Let's go to Blue Star first and sit at my place," Xu Jingming invited.

The three of them nodded happily.

Whoosh!

The four people disappeared into thin air and reappeared in the courtyard of Xu Jingming's home on Blue Star.

"Xiao Wu, prepare some fruit," Xu Jingming instructed the intelligent robot Xiao Wu. At the same time, he personally took out the prepared fine wine and poured wine for the three of them.

Li Miaomiao also noticed the guests in the courtyard.

"Miaomiao," Xu Jingming called out. "Let me introduce you to some friends."

Li Miaomiao walked out, somewhat puzzled.

"Miaomiao," Xu Jingming took the initiative to introduce, first introducing the emerald-haired old man, "This is Brother Shenshui. He is an Executive Councilman of the Council of Elders of our Wu Hook Star Alliance, and also a tenth-order Origin Life expert."

Li Miaomiao was shocked.

An Executive Councilman? A tenth-order Origin Life expert? She knew that there were only three tenth-order Origin Life experts in the entire Wu Hook Star Alliance!

"Greetings, Mr. Shenshui," Li Miaomiao said with a slight bow.

The emerald-haired old man nodded with a smile.

"This is my Senior Sister Free, and she is also from our Primordial Research Institute. Senior Sister Free is the scholar with the highest academic level in the entire Wu Hook Star Alliance. The space-time wormhole model that I'm struggling with is as simple as addition and subtraction for Senior Sister Free," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Senior Sister Free is also an Executive Councilman of the Wu Hook Star Alliance."

"Senior Sister Free," Li Miaomiao also bowed.

"This is Brother Besa. He is an Executive Councilman of our Wu Hook Star Alliance, a tenth-order Origin Life expert, and also the current Supreme Executive Officer of the Wu Hook Star Alliance," Xu Jingming introduced the one-eyed man in plain black clothes.

"Mr. Besa," Li Miaomiao bowed repeatedly.

The Supreme Executive Officer? That meant he was the highest official in the administrative aspect of the Wu Hook Star Alliance, and also a tenth-order Origin Life expert.

"Little sister-in-law is really young," Shenshui exclaimed. "This reminds me of my wife. My wife only had a lifespan of three thousand years and left me tens of thousands of years ago."

Xu Jingming was also somewhat sentimental.

This was also a common situation for powerful Origin Life experts.

Ordinary Starry Sky Life experts generally only had a lifespan of three thousand years (non-eighth-order), while tenth-order Origin Life experts had a lifespan of a full one hundred thousand years!

Therefore, some Origin Life experts with high talent would rather stay single. "Even if they look for a partner, they hope to find one among Origin Life experts," the silver-haired woman, Madam Free, said.

"How many couples are both Origin Life experts?" Besa shook his head. "There are always regrets in life, so there's no need to be too demanding."
