Chapter 1

Speaking of free reading, Xia Novel, Jietian Emperor, those who know, know!

Although he guessed that his mind power index had reached 10,000, Xu Jingming wasn't particularly excited.

After all, for him, it had been 9,991 points half a year ago, so reaching 10,000 points was a natural progression.

"I've been immersed in the contemplation technique for too long. There are only three hours left before the next match." Xu Jingming immediately opened a series of his opponent's battle videos. "This time, the opponent is ranked much higher than me." Mo Yunfang, ranked 3rd in the Mother River Cosmic Sector, and 109th in the overall universe ranking.

"Among the 340 people in the inter-cosmic sector battles, some of those at the bottom lose too much, so they rarely participate in matches. And the system won't pair me with those at the very top." Xu Jingming watched the opponent's videos. "Mo Yunfang is the strongest opponent I've encountered in the inter-cosmic sector battles." In the past six months, the highest ranked opponent he had faced was only 102nd. The top 100? He hadn't encountered them; the system didn't arrange it for him. Xu Jingming carefully watched each match, preparing for this battle.

Soon, this inter-cosmic sector battle began.

The official Life Evolution Game had promoted it in advance! Many cosmic citizens were usually busy, so they didn't watch many leagues or low-level competitions, only the 'Inter-Cosmic Sector Battles.'

The competition between the top experts from the two cosmic sectors also garnered support from countless citizens in their respective sectors! The number of online viewers generally exceeded '100 billion.'

However, if the same experts were battling within their own cosmic sector, without official promotion and synchronous broadcasting across 34 cosmic sectors, the number of viewers would drop sharply, with only around 1 billion viewers being considered good. "Li Xing, this is an inter-cosmic sector battle." In the stands, a young man chatted with Xu Li Xing. "Among today's five inter-cosmic sector battles, there are some from our Hunter Cosmic Sector! Wu Ming is battling 'Mo Yunfang' from the Mother River Cosmic Sector. As members of the Hunter Cosmic Sector, we naturally have to support Wu Ming.'"

Xu Li Xing was also very excited: "I'm also a huge fan of Wu Ming!"

"I know, you also practice gunmanship," the young man said.

"My dad taught me. He's also good at gunmanship, but he's far from Wu Ming," Xu Li Xing said in amazement. "There are so many people; the number of online viewers has already exceeded 100 billion."

"That's normal," the young man said with a smile. "The Life Evolution Game is promoted on all platforms, with synchronous broadcasting across 34 cosmic sectors! Any live broadcast with such resources will have a staggering number of online viewers. Once the live broadcast is limited to our cosmic sector, the number of viewers will drop significantly. Even many viewers in our cosmic sector are too lazy to watch."

The young man commented: "Those who can participate in inter-cosmic sector battles are all remarkable figures; they are almost certain to become Origin Lifeforms."

"Origin Lifeforms, so distant," Xu Li Xing said with emotion.

"Yes, very distant from us," the young man said. "But for great figures like Wu Ming and Mo Yunfang, breaking through is easy. Most of them aren't in a hurry to break through; instead, they want to pursue the pinnacle of skill." The young man smiled and said, "However, Li Xing, don't be too concerned about today's inter-cosmic sector battle! Although Wu Ming is very powerful, he'll probably lose this match."

"The battle hasn't started yet; maybe there will be a miracle?" Xu Li Xing disagreed.

"One is ranked 237th in the overall universe ranking, and the other is ranked 109th. The gap is too obvious," the young man said. "This Wu Ming is quite diligent in the inter-cosmic sector battles! He participates in matches almost every day. But diligence can't hide the gap; his strength is indeed inferior to his opponent."

"Qin Fangke!" Xu Li Xing was unhappy. "The point of watching a competition is the unknown! If you're sure Wu Ming will lose, what's the point of watching? We support Wu Ming; we want Wu Ming to win."

"Yes, yes, yes." The young man, Qin Fangke, immediately tried to please her with a smile. "Li Xing, you're right. The point of watching a competition is the unknown. Okay, Wu Ming, go for it!"

"Wu Ming, go for it! Defeat Mo Yunfang!" Xu Li Xing shouted.

Although Xu Jingming's losing streak caused relatively fewer citizens from the Hunter Cosmic Sector to watch, there were still over 20 billion people supporting him. These cosmic citizens were also shouting, hoping that 'Wu Ming' from their own cosmic sector would bring them a surprise.

"Mo Yunfang, invincible."

"Mo Yunfang, defeat that Wu Ming from the Hunter Cosmic Sector."

"Wu Ming, invincible!" x100

Displayed continuously one hundred times across all platforms.

"This Wu Ming isn't that strong, but the fanaticism of his fans is the highest among the 340 players in the inter-cosmic sector! Every inter-cosmic sector battle, many fans give him all-platform advertisements. The advertising fees alone cost billions every day."

"It's crazy."

"I can't understand why his fans are so crazy." Countless viewers discussed.

Although occasional fanatical support existed in inter-cosmic sector battles, it was rare for it to last for so long.

"Wu Ming's fans are so crazy," Xu Li Xing said in admiration. "He must get over 10 billion cosmic coins in dividends every day."

"That's small change to him," Qin Fangke whispered. "Do you know why 'Qu Fang,' who tops the fan list, and all sorts of other people, give him all-platform advertisements?"

"Why?" Xu Li Xing asked, puzzled.

"I only heard it occasionally," Qin Fangke whispered. "This Wu Ming, I heard he's only been cultivating the evolutionary method for thirty or forty years."

Xu Li Xing was stunned: "Only thirty or forty years?"

"Many people say he should be able to become an Origin Lifeform," Qin Fangke nodded. "Cultivating the evolutionary method for thirty or forty years, and then becoming an Origin Lifeform? Do you know what that means?"

"What does it mean?" Xu Li Xing was somewhat confused. Although she knew Origin Lifeforms were powerful.

She knew that becoming an Origin Lifeform in thirty or forty years was incredible, but she didn't understand what it meant.

"At this speed, in our era, he would be considered the fastest to become an Origin Lifeform," Qin Fangke whispered. "Even in the entire history of the human race in the universe, he should be among the top few."

"In the future, in our entire Hunter Cosmic Sector, he'll probably be among the top ten big shots," Qin Fangke said in admiration. "So, all the regional powers in the entire Hunter Cosmic Sector will give him all-platform advertisements! Even some forces in other cosmic sectors are helping him advertise, as a gift in advance."

Xu Li Xing listened in amazement.

"Qu Fang, who tops the fan list, has spent trillions of cosmic coins. Obviously, he's trying to latch onto this thigh at any cost," Qin Fangke sneered. "But it also shows one thing: Qu Fang's background isn't strong enough. If it was strong enough, there would be no need to flatter others so much."

Xu Li Xing listened thoughtfully.

"In short, a big shot at this level doesn't do anything. Some gifts during ordinary festivals can scare you," Qin Fangke said. "Wu Ming hasn't become an Origin Lifeform yet. When he really does, when he really enters that circle... tsk tsk, even the Star Alliance will have to find a way to tie him down, for fear that he'll immigrate to other Star Alliances."

"The price some civilizations pay to please such big shots..." Qin Fangke sighed and shook his head. "It's terrifying. I also have some status, but compared to that circle, I become a nobody."

During the time Xu Li Xing had been dating Qin Fangke, under Qin Fangke's guidance, she had gained a lot of knowledge.

Even in the virtual world network, there were many secrets unknown to the outside world, but Qin Fangke had taken her to explore them, making her feel fresh and opening a new world before her eyes.

"Fangke, there's something I want to talk to you about," Xu Li Xing said.

"Sure."

Qin Fangke nodded, then suddenly his eyes lit up. "Let's talk slowly later. Quick, look, the match is about to start."

Cosmic starry sky environment, asteroid belt.

Two figures stood on an asteroid, looking at each other from afar. It was Xu Jingming and Mo Yunfang.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming noticed a reminder in the group watching the match. "Your family is watching your match." This was an automatic system reminder, and it marked his daughter's location in the stands. Xu Jingming temporarily hid the stands; he needed to focus on the battle.

Usually, when he was chatting, he would show the stands and interact briefly with the audience.

"Li Xing is watching my match today? She probably doesn't know that Wu Ming is her dad," Xu Jingming thought, and couldn't help but smile.

This made Mo Yunfang, who was far away, frown slightly.

"This Wu Ming, even though his strength is much weaker than mine, he's smiling so casually and doesn't care about winning or losing?" Mo Yunfang thought to himself. But with his status, he knew some of 'Wu Ming's' details.

Wu Ming, an outer member of the Yuan Chu Research Institute, was said to have only cultivated the evolutionary method for thirty or forty years.

"Exceptionally talented, but you're still too young. I won't show any mercy," Mo Yunfang, wearing a pair of gloves, carefully observed Xu Jingming.

Thousands of kilometers away on an asteroid, Xu Jingming, holding a long spear, also looked at him from afar. The two of them looked at each other from a distance.

"Brother Wu Ming, you must be careful," Mo Yunfang's voice echoed in the vast surrounding starry sky, and even more surging cosmic power gathered towards him. For a moment, countless purple misty cosmic powers surrounded him, making Mo Yunfang's figure appear and disappear.

Xu Jingming also released light from his entire body, starting to leverage cosmic power, and endless cosmic power continuously gathered! Because the scale of cosmic power being leveraged was too vast, Xu Jingming formed a gorgeous light robe on his body first. The light robe was surrounded by spots of light, which were scattered energy.

Apart from the scattered part, everything else was gathered into his body, onto his robe.

"Hmm?" Mo Yunfang's expression changed. "How is the cosmic power he's mobilizing so much stronger than in previous battles?"

"I've recently had some insights, Brother Mo Yunfang, you must also be careful." Xu Jingming smiled and took a step. Whoosh.

His entire body transformed into a golden light, moving even faster than before. Leveraging an even greater amount of energy, his movement had an even more obvious impact on space-time. Xu Jingming's figure was faint, blurry, making it difficult for Mo Yunfang to discern his true position.

"If I can't distinguish his true body, then I'll obliterate everything." Mo Yunfang stretched out his palms and slammed them down suddenly. As Xu Jingming approached, he felt that the entire space within thousands of kilometers was being crushed, crushing towards himself.

"Boom."

The crushing power collided with the terrifying power that Xu Jingming carried. Xu Jingming, holding his long spear, broke through all obstacles and arrived in front of Mo Yunfang.

A simple thrust of the spear pierced through all invisible power obstacles, causing Mo Yunfang's expression to change drastically. He retreated while blocking.

But Xu Jingming instantly caught up, and a crescent moon-like sweep of the spear strangely swept across Mo Yunfang's arm, causing it to break. However, the arm, transformed into light, quickly reconnected with the break.

Xu Jingming didn't stop, and instantly delivered an even more ferocious chop. It was too fast, too ferocious, as if the entire space was being shattered. Mo Yunfang's palms, which were trying to block, were blasted apart, and most of his body was shattered.

Countless lights gathered in the distance, forming Mo Yunfang's appearance. There was disbelief in his eyes, but he still reached out and tapped lightly. "I lost." Mo Yunfang didn't want to fight anymore. Three consecutive spear strikes could shatter his body, so what was there to fight? They weren't on the same level at all.

Xu Jingming himself was also somewhat surprised that he had won so easily. "Is this the taste of overpowering someone with brute force?"

"Righteous and honorable, using endless energy to crush the enemy?" Xu Jingming felt a sense of pleasure. He didn't need to think about complicated battle strategies. His speed was fast enough that the enemy couldn't escape! His power was vast enough to overcome all techniques with brute force! He won directly.

"The simplest strategy is also the most unsolvable strategy," Xu Jingming thought happily.

Yes. The Yuan Chu Star should be like this, upright and righteous, in the very center, radiating the most endless light. Crushing everything, no one can resist!

Xu Jingming didn't understand this feeling until now.

"You defeated me with three spear strikes. Your strength is too much higher than mine; you can at least rank in the top twenty in the universe," Mo Yunfang said before disappearing directly. He had lost too badly, crushed completely.

"Rumble!!"

The hundreds of billions of cosmic viewers were initially somewhat astonished, but they soon realized what had happened and cheered. The cheers sounded as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, especially among the cosmic citizens of the Hunter Cosmic Sector.

"My scalp is tingling; he shattered Mo Yunfang with three spear strikes? That's a figure ranked around a hundredth in the overall universe ranking!"

"What kind of strength is this?"

"Crazy!!!"

"Did you see? He's from our Hunter Cosmic Sector! Mother River Cosmic Sector, what do you have to fight us with?"

"Three spear strikes to defeat him! Was Mo Yunfang deliberately losing?"

"Under the system's monitoring, the power, speed, and energy level of every move are clear. There's no way to fake it."

"Wu Ming is too terrifying. He's only been battling in the inter-cosmic sector for half a year, and he's already so fierce. Is he really going to take the top spot in the universe, like that Qu Fang said?"

Countless streams of information, countless viewers were boiling.

Even the number of online viewers was still increasing. Yes, the match was over, and Mo Yunfang had already withdrawn, but more viewers were being attracted to the live broadcast room by 'calling friends and inviting companions.' Because in the live broadcast room, you could watch the replay.

Xu Jingming also noticed that the number of viewers was increasing, so he reached out and lightly tapped, revealing the hidden 'stands.'

In the distance of the cosmic starry sky, there were dense virtual stands, after all, there were hundreds of billions of cosmic viewers! His daughter, as 'family,' was specially marked, and Xu Jingming saw her at a glance. He saw his daughter sitting with a young man, excitedly saying something.

"Hmm?" The smile on Xu Jingming's face gradually disappeared. "That man..."
