Chapter 10 Episode 22 Memory Contamination

“Next, leave it to us,” the Dean said.

“This battle is also a show of force for our human race in this territory. Killing two Abyss powerhouses is more deterrent than killing just one.” The Eternal Tower Master also had a strong killing intent.

Having ventured into the Abyss many times, the Eternal Tower Master had no sympathy for those who engaged in long-term Abyss sacrifices.

Occasional Abyss sacrifices might be for special needs.

But long-term sacrifices could only mean they were completely corrupted by the Abyss, utterly fallen, and had become puppets of the Abyss.

“Alright.” Xu Jingming instantly vanished and retreated to the Mind World, not wanting to affect the Dean and the others.

Standing in the Mind World, Xu Jingming watched from afar. “Yu Fangtuo has an old grudge against me; it once tried to use causal attacks to kill me. Now, it has a new grudge. If it escapes, given its nature… even if it fears the strength of the human race, it will definitely hide in the shadows, secretly seeking opportunities for revenge.

Therefore, he would rather let Qiong Yuque go.

Qiong Yuque, generally speaking, doesn’t have much conflict with the human race. This time, Qiong Yuque didn’t lose anything. Among the three Abyss powerhouses, Qiong Yuque has the least animosity towards humans. Such conflicts are common in the vast Abyss. As long as the losses aren’t too great and the human race is powerful enough, Qiong Yuque won’t seek trouble.”

“Get lost!” Yu Fangtuo, now free from the illusion, faced the even more terrifying combined attack of the Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master.

“Suppress.” A massive black flaming palm appeared from the void, powerfully pressing down on Yu Fangtuo, who wielded a black staff.

Yu Fangtuo was of enormous size. It roared and swung the staff, a shadowy Abyss appearing behind it. The staff’s power was terrifying, but it seemed so weak before the black flaming palm.

The black flaming palm was irresistibly powerful. With one strike, the staff was sent flying, Yu Fangtuo’s arm was broken, and its towering body was crushed.

Its most prized body was crushed with one blow.

“It’s all because of that Xu Jingming of the Mind World lineage! He trapped me with an illusion!” The crushed Yu Fangtuo transformed into countless black liquids, each containing a face of Yu Fangtuo.

*Boom!* A large amount of black liquid suddenly exploded, its terrifying power tearing open a gap for escape. A large amount of black liquid instantly flashed through the gap and fled.

But the Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master didn’t care; they simply watched the flames burning on the black liquid. The black fire burned, and each drop of liquid emitted a shrill wail.

“Stop, stop, stop! I surrender, I surrender!” Many black liquids revealed Yu Fangtuo’s face, emitting anxious cries.

But the three human race high-dimensional beings ignored its pleas and coldly watched everything.

“No!”

“I surrender.”

“Let me go.”

The black liquids that escaped the formation all emitted shrill cries, echoing in the high-dimensional space, causing the high-dimensional beings watching from afar to tremble.

These black liquids were full of terrifying vitality. As long as one drop escaped, Yu Fangtuo could survive.

But the flame unleashed by the three great human race high-dimensional beings with forbidden weapons was too powerful, even burning the enemy’s life imprints along the lines of karma.

Yu Fangtuo wasn’t like the Thousand-Eyed Abyss Spider Demon; its strength lay in its body, and it hadn’t imprinted its life in the Abyss.

The essence of its life was in those drops of black liquid, which took a full three breaths to burn away under the flames.

During those three breaths, Yu Fangtuo went from begging for mercy to roaring in unwillingness to wanting to drag more high-dimensional beings down with it.

“Die together, die together!” All of Yu Fangtuo’s black liquid scattered, crossing through time and space, wanting to contaminate each high-dimensional being in this universe.

The high-dimensional beings were startled; they didn’t want to be touched by Yu Fangtuo’s dying move!

Even more, they didn’t want to be contaminated by the terrifying black flames.

“What a madman!” A scolding voice rang out as several Eternal realm peak high-dimensional beings from this real universe took action, influencing time and space to prevent the black droplets from approaching.

After all, there were nearly a hundred Eternal realm high-dimensional beings in this universe, guarding the real universe for a long time. They weren’t so easily provoked.

Yu Fangtuo had a strong obsession. Amidst its shrill, unwilling cries, all the black droplets were burned to ashes.

Only then did the Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master appear, collecting Yu Fangtuo’s remaining belongings.

“Everyone…” The Dean smiled as his gaze swept across all directions.

“The territory occupied by the Thousand-Eyed Abyss Spider Demon, Si Nan, will henceforth belong to the human race. Our human race values friendship and seeks to be good neighbors, but if anyone invades our territory, our human race will surely eliminate them completely!”

The Dean’s voice spread throughout the high-dimensional space, heard clearly by every high-dimensional being in this real universe.

“The human race?”

“This newly arrived human race is not to be trifled with; they are far stronger than the Thousand-Eyed Abyss Spider Demon!”

“Three Abyss powerhouses were quickly defeated, with two dead and one escaped.”

“Looking at our universe, the strength of this human race is probably among the best.”

The high-dimensional beings of various races were quite fearful. The strength displayed by the unfamiliar, mysterious powerhouses upon their appearance had deterred most of the races. Qiong Yuque, in its escape, looked back at the real universe from afar.

“Yu Fangtuo is dead too!” Qiong Yuque could clearly sense that all causal connections to Yu Fangtuo had disappeared.

“These mysterious powerhouses are so strong; the three of us together couldn’t withstand them, resulting in two deaths and one escape.” Qiong Yuque sighed inwardly, “My usual area of activity doesn’t include this territory. This time, I was invited by the Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon to this territory. After I return to the Abyss, I’ll never come to this territory again.” Qiong Yuque was truly afraid.

It had no thoughts of revenge or entanglement; it just wanted to get as far away from those mysterious powerhouses as possible. In this conflict, Qiong Yuque hadn’t suffered any losses.

The Dean, Tower Master, Island Master, Xu Jingming, and Chi Meng gathered to celebrate this great victory.

“This plan went very smoothly,” the Dean said with satisfaction. “We completely eliminated the Thousand-Eyed Abyss Spider Demon, and even killed an extra Yu Fangtuo. The deterrent effect of this battle is sufficient.”

“I believe that in this real universe, few will dare to provoke us easily!” the Eternal Tower Master also said.

The Time-Space Island Master, holding a wine glass, also smiled.

“Jingming, when you lured those three, you seemed to have been contaminated,” the Dean asked.

“It’s alright; I immediately self-destructed that avatar,” Xu Jingming said. “Only some contaminated information was transmitted to my memory. I can suppress it now, and I estimate that it will take some time to completely resolve it.”

The Eternal Tower Master solemnly said, “Don’t underestimate Abyss contamination. You quickly go all out and resolve this contamination first. Leave the other matters to us.”

“Yes, you don’t need to worry now. We will be responsible for taking over this territory and sorting it out. At the same time, we must prepare all the work for the migration of humans from our home universe,” the Dean also said. “These preparations are estimated to take decades. Thus, we will tentatively schedule eighty years from now for you, Jingming, to be responsible for carrying the miniature universe and migrating the human race as a whole to our new home.”

“Is the screening of the human race carried out according to the original plan?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Proceed according to the original plan,” the Dean nodded. “Our race migration plan is already much more generous than that of the Void God Race. In fact, our home universe still has many years before its destruction. Many planetary lifeforms can live to old age and die peacefully. On the contrary, migrating to an unfamiliar universe has a certain mortality rate.” Xu Jingming nodded.

Although the new universe home they had chosen was very suitable.

There would inevitably be deaths. In their home, planetary life could live peacefully and grow old until they died.

“Leave it all to us; you quickly go and focus on dealing with the contamination,” the Time-Space Island Master also urged.

“Alright.” Xu Jingming stood up, and his figure disappeared without a trace.

Only then did the Dean, Tower Master, Island Master, and Chi Meng start discussing trivial matters.

“Jingming has put in the most effort for the migration, and he has also taken on the greatest risks,” the Dean said. “Over the next eighty years, we must prepare everything. When the time comes, Jingming will only need to be responsible for delivering the miniature universe to our new home.”

“Yes,” Chi Meng also nodded. His strength was limited, and he couldn’t help much before. In dealing with the trivial matters of race migration, he still wanted to put in more effort to help his fellow clansmen share the burden.

Inside the beast hide space of the Mind World territory.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the starry sky, frowning slightly. “Although this beast hide space can greatly isolate karma, the Abyss contamination is too terrifying. My self-destruction of the avatar could cut off most of the contamination transmission, but the memory transmission cannot be stopped.

Each avatar shares the same memory, and memory contamination cannot be isolated.

Fortunately, my Eight Directions Chart has been cultivated to a good level. The fifth realm, the Great Joy Realm, is also mostly accomplished.” Xu Jingming encountered contaminated memories. Many emotional memories couldn’t shake him in the slightest.

Because the third realm of the Eight Directions Chart, the Mind Intent Realm, had completely controlled his emotions.

Appetite, lust, desire for comfort, greed, had all passed the tests of the Eight Directions Chart. The vast majority of these memory contaminations couldn’t affect him in the slightest.

“The vast majority of memories can’t affect me,” Xu Jingming’s gaze was deep.

But there were still some memories that were affecting Xu Jingming’s mind.

“I’m not willing, I’m not at ease, I want to live, I want to live on.” That was an image of Xu Jingming’s future. At that moment, Xu Jingming was grief-stricken, with too much unwillingness and too many attachments.

“I can’t die now, I can’t die. I want to revive countless people of the human race. I want to change the past. I can’t die!”

Segments of memories of unwillingness before death.

“How much I wanted to take the final step; I was only one step away from reaching the Third Realm.”

“Having lived for one hundred and twenty Abyss Epochs, am I ultimately stuck here?”

Some other Xu Jingming in future memories had great hatred, not resentment, but only anticipation for a higher realm.

“Self-destructing the avatar stopped most of the contamination, and in the memory contamination, I suppressed and sorted out more than 90%, leaving only a small amount left… A total of 321,029 kinds of Xu Jingming’s memories, past memories, future memories, all have deep imprints, as if they want to brand themselves in my consciousness, trying to confuse my true self-awareness.” Xu Jingming’s expression was calm.

“These contaminations have made me understand: what is the desire for superiority in the face of life and death?”

“Only by living is there hope to change everything!”

Too many kinds of past and future memories allowed Xu Jingming to more transcendently examine his own path.
