Chapter 17 Arrived

"We're here."

Xu Jingming looked at the incredibly gigantic celestial body in front of him, feeling only beauty and shock. "A true universe."

Xu Jingming harbored special emotions for every true universe, because these true universes were the cradles of low-dimensional lifeforms.

"The Mother River is indeed magical, nurturing one true universe after another. Only then can low-dimensional lifeforms like us be born," Xu Jingming thought. It was very appropriate to call it the Mother River.

The Mother River was the mother of all low-dimensional lifeforms.

Xu Jingming approached a little closer and could already observe the interior of the true universe through the Core World. "This true universe has many races. Let's choose the border between the territories of two major races... the border of the Ai Ku race," he said. A very ordinary plant planet.

Xu Jingming descended from the Core World and appeared in the sky above this plant planet.

"The methods of concealing one's aura taught by the Dean and the others are indeed useful, and they also greatly reduce the universe's rejection of me," Xu Jingming nodded. At Myriad Star Island, he had learned many inheritances collected by the Dean and the others.

How to restrain one's aura? How to isolate oneself from karma as much as possible? How to reduce the rejection of the true universe? Many inheritances described these things.

A strong descent into the interior of a true universe would naturally result in strong rejection. If one entered gently, carefully, and in accordance with the universe's energy fluctuations, the rejection would be much weaker.

"The climate, temperature, and environment of this planet seem relatively suitable for humans at first glance." As Xu Jingming thought this, an invisible force enveloped the entire planet and began to rapidly transform it.

A large number of plants on the planet were annihilated and disappeared, disappearing by more than half.

Oceans, rivers, and lakes appeared.

The atmosphere was also modified.

In just five minutes, a life planet that looked very suitable for human habitation appeared.

"On the surface, it looks perfect and very suitable for humans to live on."

Xu Jingming thought, "But the invisible rules of the universe's operation may not be suitable for humans." The reason why the human race was like this was closely related to the operating rules of their home universe.

What impact would a completely different set of operating rules have on humans in another universe?

"Begin the experiment."

With a thought from Xu Jingming.

A full one million human planetary life criminals and one stellar life criminal were taken from the Space-Time Prison and instantly descended on this life planet.

"Leave behind a Pure Lotus Incarnation to watch over them." After releasing the criminals, Xu Jingming's true body left in one step, leaving behind only a Nine Leaves realm "Pure Lotus Fire" in place. The Pure Lotus Fire condensed into Xu Jingming's appearance.

Pure Lotus Incarnations needed to have the true body as a support and could not exist independently.

"After becoming a high-dimensional lifeform, the distance between the Pure Lotus Incarnation and the true body has greatly increased. As long as they are in the same territory, the Pure Lotus Incarnation can be maintained," Xu Jingming had long since tested this. The Pure Lotus Incarnation observed these released prisoners.

"What's going on? Where... where is this?"

One million human planetary life criminals and one stellar life criminal were scattered in various parts of this life planet.

"Have we been exiled?"

"There's nothing to eat or drink?"

The batch of human criminals looked around and soon discovered some fruits growing on the trees.

These fruits were intentionally condensed by Xu Jingming when he transformed the entire planet. Each fruit could provide enough nutrition and moisture to ensure that the humans would not starve to death.

"Life is very tenacious, and they will find a way to survive here." Xu Jingming did not interfere, but only observed and recorded. "I just don't know if they can adapt to this true universe."

Xu Jingming's true body carried the Space-Time Prison and traveled to one true universe after another.

Every time he went to a true universe, he would choose a suitable planet to transform, leave behind one million human planetary life criminals and one stellar life criminal, and leave behind a Pure Lotus Incarnation to observe and record.

This was a survival observation experiment. Data was the most important thing.

"There are so many dangers in high-dimensional space." As Xu Jingming traveled to one true universe after another, he also caught a glimpse of some dangers in the outside world.

"According to intelligence, the dark area ahead... is the 'Kettle Abyss,' one of the Seven Absolutes realms in this territory. Only half-step Third Realm beings can safely enter and exit.

Other weaker high-dimensional lifeforms who enter all die." Xu Jingming remotely peered at it. He couldn't see clearly into that area through the Core World, but he felt an instinctive fear.

"Let's go."

With one step, he used a short-range Core World teleportation and moved far away.

Deep within this dark area, a kettle was suspended, the spout of the kettle resembling a bottomless abyss, connected to a mysterious place.

"What a delicious aura. This is a nascent high-dimensional lifeform that has evolved from a low-dimensional lifeform, and it's of the Core World lineage. I really want to take a bite." The kettle rotated slightly, its spout aimed at Xu Jingming's direction, seemingly very eager.

Xu Jingming ran through seven true universes in half a day, leaving behind enough human criminals, each place with a Pure Lotus Incarnation.

"The arrangement of the Feng Yi Thirty-Three Territories has been completed. The rest is observation and recording." Xu Jingming stood in the Core World. "Leave a true body in this territory to maintain those seven Pure Lotus Incarnations."

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming immediately split, splitting into two true bodies. One stayed in place, while the other continued on its way with the Space-Time Prison: "Head to the next territory, the Feng Yi Ninth Territory."

It was indeed only Xu Jingming who was suitable for the hard work of observing and experimenting in various territories for the human race.

Xu Jingming was very careful. In the Feng Yi Thirty-Three Territories, he only left a true body in the Core World and maintained a great distance from the seven true universes. The true body was left behind only to maintain the seven incarnations.

Without the true body, the seven incarnations would all collapse.

"The incarnations are composed of Pure Lotus Fire and are good at isolating karma, making them more suitable for dealing with enemies." Xu Jingming was also afraid. After all, he was only at the nascent realm level. Once he encountered a terrifying high-dimensional lifeform that attacked through karma, he would be in danger.

He had to try everything possible to hinder karma.

"Planet Number One: Starting on the third day, human planetary lifeforms began to die."

"Planet Number Seven: On the fifteenth day, the first death occurred."

"Planet Number Six: For thirty consecutive days, excluding accidental factors such as fighting and strife, no deaths occurred." Xu Jingming recorded the data.

Internal human strife, accidental falls, and being crushed by falling rocks were not important. What Xu Jingming cared about... were the deaths that occurred due to maladaptation to the environment.

Xu Jingming had chosen seven planets in the seven true universes of this territory, and each planet was transformed to be extremely suitable for humans. If there were still large numbers of deaths due to maladaptation to the environment, it could only mean that the 'universe itself' was not suitable for humans.

"Planet Number Five: Starting on the 37th day, a large number of humans began to suffer from physical ailments. Starting on the 50th day, there were large-scale deaths."

The Pure Lotus Incarnation silently observed and recorded the data. "On the 90th day of the survival experiment, more than half have already died!"

Inside a majestic palace of the Ai Ku race, five high-dimensional lifeforms each sat on a throne, overlooking Experiment Planet Number One displayed on a huge mirror, as well as Xu Jingming observing there.

These five high-dimensional lifeforms each wore golden masks that covered only half of their faces.

"An alien high-dimensional lifeform has come to our home universe and occupied a planet on the border of our race." A young high-dimensional lifeform spoke. "Because it involves a high-dimensional lifeform, I notified everyone."

"Does anyone recognize this high-dimensional lifeform?" The high-dimensional lifeform leader sitting in the center spoke.

"I don't recognize him."

"Never seen him before."

One by one, they responded.

"We are all split-consciousness carriers and not strong enough." The high-dimensional lifeform in the center said, "Bu Xiu, you are the only one whose true body is in the home universe. This matter will be entrusted to you. My only request is... to make him get out!"

"I may not be able to defeat him." The young high-dimensional lifeform had no confidence.

"You are allowed to use the Three Supreme Treasures!" the leader said.

"Yes."

The young high-dimensional lifeform immediately became confident and said, "Even if I can defeat him, what if he is a lone, unattached innate high-dimensional lifeform... and threatens us with his race?"

Innate high-dimensional lifeforms were alone and unattached.

"Anyone who dares to threaten us with their race will be our mortal enemy." The leader's eyes were cold. "If he is really that crazy, take a step back and endure it for now. We will all return to the home universe. We will make this little innate high-dimensional lifeform pay the price."

The strong who came out of low-dimensional life were more confident, and the proportion of those who became Eternal realm experts was also much higher.

"Brother, we don't recognize this high-dimensional lifeform. Maybe he has a great background." Another companion spoke. "I think we can negotiate amicably, confirm that he doesn't have a powerful background, and then take action."

"I believe Bu Xiu will handle it well." The leader said indifferently.

On Planet Number One, Xu Jingming observed the survival of these humans and nodded slightly. "They have survived for three months. Although deaths occurred on the third day, they were only sporadic examples. So far, the total death toll is about 1.5%, ranking second among the seven planets."

The operating rules of the universe had a silent and imperceptible impact on life. As time slowly accumulated, perhaps at some point, deaths would erupt on a large scale. Therefore, Xu Jingming's survival experiment and observation were planned to last at least a thousand years.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming sensed something. He sensed a vast and mighty aura appearing. It was the aura of a high-dimensional lifeform. Xu Jingming looked up.

At a glance, he saw a figure appearing in the distant starry sky. Countless flames rose around the figure, and the flames transformed into birds. Each of these firebirds was incredibly huge and terrifyingly powerful.

The firebirds surrounded the figure, clustering around it.

"The aura of a nascent realm peak." Xu Jingming instantly made a judgment.

He was not surprised. There were many treasures that could allow a nascent realm to reach the "nascent realm peak." Slightly more powerful races were able to do this.

"I am Bu Xiu of the Ai Hu race." This figure wore a silver robe, wore a golden mask, and looked at Xu Jingming with a smile. "This alien high-dimensional lifeform, can you tell me why you have come to the territory of my Ai Ku race?"
