Chapter 43 A Promise

Xu Jingming walked out of the small building and sat down on a vacant spot on the grass not far away.

Soon, a service staff came over, and Xu Jingming ordered drinks.

"Going through someone else to exchange usually comes with a 50% premium, and a double premium is considered high. This Yin Xiao is even asking for cosmic coins... he's really trying to fleece me." Xu Jingming took a sip of his drink.

Because he was too much of a genius, most Origin Lives treated Xu Jingming with a lot of respect.

But Xu Jingming was very clear!

Not everyone would give him face.

Like Yin Xiao, who was among the top few terrifying existences among the tenth-order Origin Life in the Eternal Academy. Looking at the entire human race of the universe, below the cosmic legends, it was his level.

Such a figure would be arrogant even when facing cosmic legends from other forces.

After all, in the eyes of most people, my limit in this life is probably the cosmic legend, and the probability of becoming a Supreme existence is extremely low.

Xu Jingming knew that this was based on historical data.

After all, which of those who can become Supreme existences hasn't experienced countless hardships and磨砺?

It's not like becoming an Origin Life quickly is useful.

"Junior Brother Wu Ming?" Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Xu Jingming turned his head and saw a young man in a gray robe walking over from behind. His face had some resemblance to Lu Naduo, but his aura was more profound and restrained. His whole person was like a 'black hole,' deep and with a slight sense of oppression.

"I didn't expect to meet Junior Brother Wu Ming here." The young man in the gray robe walked over, quite warmly.

Xu Jingming immediately stood up and smiled, "Senior Brother An Xing."

The person in front of him was Lu Naxing!

He was Lu Naduo's elder brother, a tenth-order Origin Life of the Primordial Research Institute, codenamed 'Dark Star,' and also the second in line to the Yuanchu Star Civilization throne.

"Junior Brother Wu Ming, are you also asking someone to exchange treasures?" Lu Naxing smiled, "Is there anything I can help with? I know some people in the Eternal Academy, and maybe I can help you, Junior Brother."

"I've already asked someone for help." Xu Jingming said.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything. I'm going to see a friend first." Lu Naxing said.

Xu Jingming nodded and watched Lu Naxing walk away. Lu Naxing was also here to ask someone to exchange items.

"Lu Naduo is indeed far inferior to his elder brother." Xu Jingming sat down. Lu Naxing had a good reputation in the Primordial Research Institute and was recognized as a 'genius figure' among the tenth-order Origin Life.

Although he wasn't as dazzling as Xu Jingming, the outside world believed that it wouldn't be difficult for Lu Naxing to reach the 'King' level, and the Yuanchu Star Civilization royal family also had a very high evaluation of him; otherwise, they wouldn't have promoted him to the second in line to the throne.

The throne heirs of the three major cosmic high civilizations are also selected within the royal family. The most critical factor in the selection is the achievement in the evolutionary path and the scientific path. The higher the achievement, the higher the ranking!

If one becomes a cosmic legend, even if they are not the emperor, their influence within the royal family will not be inferior to the emperor.

"Old Brother Wu Ming." A gentle voice rang out.

Xu Jingming looked over.

A short, fat, bald old man walked over. His smile could make people relax involuntarily. Xu Jingming saw him and immediately stood up, "Mister Lan Xie."

Yes, the old man in front of him was another powerhouse Xu Jingming wanted to visit at this gathering, 'Lan Xie.' Mister Lan Xie's contribution to the Eternal Academy was also enough to rank in the top five.

"Why are you here alone?" Lan Xie sat down opposite Xu Jingming and said with a smile, "Where's Junior Brother Saka?"

"He's accompanying Mister Yin Xiao." Xu Jingming said.

Lan Xie pondered, looking at Xu Jingming, "You asked him to help with the exchange, and it failed?"

Xu Jingming said in surprise with a smile, "Mister Lan Xie can see that?"

"If the talk was very successful, why would you be sitting here all alone?" Lan Xie smiled.

"But don't be angry, and don't hold a grudge against Yin Xiao. Yin Xiao's personality was actually much better than it is now a few years ago. It's just that in order to become a cosmic legend, he voluntarily fell into the abyss, so his temperament naturally changed, becoming somewhat chaotic and extreme. It's already very good that he can maintain his sanity."

"Voluntarily fell into the abyss?" Xu Jingming asked in confusion.

"Among the three strongest inheritances of the human race, our Eternal Academy's 《Shen Yuan Yanjiu Biji》 (Abyss Research Notes) studies the abyss." Lan Xie said, "Whether it's research, study, or contemplation, we will be increasingly affected by the abyss."

"We approach it but cannot be swallowed by it, we must always maintain ourselves." Lan Xie said, "But as they get older, some tenth-order Origin Life voluntarily sink in, just to obtain stronger power. Falling into the abyss... and still maintaining sanity, this is also a path, but it's very difficult."

"It's already amazing that Yin Xiao can maintain his sanity." Lan Xie looked at Xu Jingming.

"Mister Lan Xie, have you always kept your distance from the abyss?" Xu Jingming asked.

Lan Xie smiled and said, "Yes, I'm worried that if I fall into the abyss, I won't be able to maintain my sanity. I'm timid!"

Among the three strongest inheritances, 《Yuan Chu Xing Caixiang》 (Primordial Star Conjecture) has relatively few aftereffects. Xu Jingming's mental strength has reached the tenth level, and he is already being affected by the Primordial Star.

Like Lan Xie and Yin Xiao, as the top five existences among the Eternal Academy's tenth-order Origin Life, their mental strength has already reached a high dimension. They are cultivating 《Shen Yuan Yanjiu Biji》 (Abyss Research Notes), and their minds have reached a high dimension; it's not easy to maintain sanity.

This is also what Saka said, the top five are not easy to talk to.

"According to what Senior Brother Saka said, the top five in the Eternal Academy who have made great contributions are not very easy to talk to. But this Mister Lan Xie is very polite to me." Xu Jingming thought.

"You two are sitting together?" The sturdy Senior Brother Saka walked over with a smile, pulled up a chair and sat down, took a sip of the drink in front of him, "Senior Brother Lan Xie, I won't hide it from you, I couldn't convince Yin Xiao. So I'm asking you for help."

"You want the scales of Tian Mang (Heavenly Python)?" Lan Xie looked at Xu Jingming.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

"Alright."

It was the first time meeting Lan Xie.

"Of course I have conditions." Lan Xie looked at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming and Saka were both listening.

"I don't need any premium in terms of contribution, but I have an extra requirement." Lan Xie said, "I need a promise from you. In the future, without violating the laws of the Human Alliance of the Universe, and within your ability, if my family, the Ze Yu family, asks you for help, please help once."

Lan Xie looked at Xu Jingming, "No written documents are needed, just your promise."

"No written documents needed?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

That means that in the future, how to do it, and to what extent, will be entirely up to him.

"Yes." Lan Xie smiled, "I believe in the value of Junior Brother Wu Ming's promise."

"You think so highly of me?" Xu Jingming said with a surprised smile. Logically speaking, he would agree to a premium of thirty to fifty million contributions! Lan Xie doesn't want such a large 'premium,' but he wants his promise.

Lan Xie looked at Xu Jingming and nodded, "I trust you very much, and the wealth I have accumulated over the years is vast enough, I don't care about this little bit. I would rather buy an insurance policy for the family; your promise is an insurance policy for the family."

"Tens of millions of contributions are just the icing on the cake for the Ze Yu family. But my age is comparable to Yin Xiao, and I only have a little over ten thousand years left before my life limit. After I die! Wu Ming, you are still very young, and the Ze Yu family may need your help then." Lan Xie said.

"Buying an insurance policy?" Saka said with a smile, "You are very considerate of your family."

"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded and promised, "In the future, without violating the law, and within my ability. If Mister Lan Xie's family, the Ze Yu family, asks me for help, I will take action once."

"Then our deal is settled." Lan Xie nodded with a smile.

Xu Jingming, Saka, and Lan Xie sat and chatted for more than an hour. They had a very pleasant conversation, and then they dispersed.

Back in Saka's personal space.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Saka, for making this so smooth." Xu Jingming said.

"Strange." Saka frowned and patted his head, "Lan Xie is a person whose mind is difficult to fathom. His danger is even above Yin Xiao, so I took you to see Yin Xiao first. Even if Yin Xiao is excessive, he won't hide anything. If Lan Xie wants to plot against you... you won't even know."

Saka sat on the sofa and muttered, "But this time's transaction, no matter how I look at it, no matter how I think about it, I can't see how he can plot against you. A promise? There are no written documents to bind you, you can go back on your word and ignore him in the future."

"He only needs a promise and there's no mandatory constraint." Xu Jingming said, "No matter what kind of danger Mister Lan Xie has, he was very sincere in this transaction."

"He's very sincere, so I didn't stop him from beginning to end." Saka was puzzled, "He said it was to buy an insurance policy for the family, but how could the foundation of the Ze Yu family collapse in tens of thousands of years?"

"Forget it, if there really is a trap, we'll just ignore him then." Saka said with a smile.

Xu Jingming nodded.

The promise that Lan Xie asked for gave Xu Jingming all the initiative, which was also the reason why he agreed.

Lan Xie's personal space.

Lan Xie sat in a chair, looking at the endless abyss in front of him, which was the 'endless abyss' he had simulated.

"Ancestor." The patriarch of the Ze Yu family was extremely respectful beside him. Lan Xie was the only tenth-order Origin Life in the Ze Yu family, and Lan Xie, who was now over 80,000 years old, was much older than everyone else in the Ze Yu family.

He was also the most powerful life in the history of the Ze Yu family, so the patriarch of the Ze Yu family was naturally very respectful.

"Wu Ming of the Primordial Research Institute gave me a promise." Lan Xie handed a document to the patriarch of the Ze Yu family, "Archive it with the family!"

The patriarch took it and looked at it, "There are no written constraints?"

"No need." Lan Xie said, "You can leave, just archive it. Remember... only when the family encounters difficulties and there is no other way, then ask him for help. His temper may not be very good, and even if he makes a request, you can't force him."

"His temper isn't very good?" The patriarch was a little puzzled, "Wu Ming's personality is quite good."

Xu Jingming had a good reputation among Origin Life.

"The higher the realm, the more he will be affected by the Primordial Star. His temper in the future will be different from now." Lan Xie shook his head, "You may leave now."

"Yes." The patriarch immediately disappeared.

Lan Xie looked at the endless abyss in front of him alone, thinking, "He and Saka have such a good relationship, and Saka is stationed on the front line fighting the Prison Clan. This Wu Ming accumulates wealth quite quickly, and can take out tens of millions or hundreds of millions of contributions. Is the mysterious guardian of the Prison Clan front line him?"

"If that's the case, everything makes sense."
