Chapter 1 The Beginning

Blue Star, inside Xu Jingming's home.

"Jingming, more than twenty Source Life experts will attend your celebration for breaking through to become a Source Life?" Li Miaomiao asked. "I checked on the virtual world network; other Source Life experts' celebrations usually have simple procedures."

"They insisted on coming; 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 Source Life experts. Most of them just write a congratulatory letter and send a gift."

"Source Life experts are busy with their affairs, and many cannot easily leave their garrisoned areas. Writing a congratulatory letter and sending a gift is the most common. Who made my husband so popular that they all want to come personally?" Xu Jingming said with a smile.

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

"Almost all of them are 100 billion universe coins," Xu Jingming said. "According to the gift levels among Source Life experts, generally, becoming a ninth-order Source Life should warrant a gift of 10 billion universe coins. Only becoming a tenth-order Source Life warrants 100 billion universe coins. Clearly, everyone is giving me gifts one level higher this time."

The gift level represents the degree of importance.

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

"More than 800 people, each with a gift of 100 billion?" Li Miaomiao exclaimed.

"Source Life experts also have interactions with each other. If I receive money this time, I will have to spend money in the future," Xu Jingming said. "Moreover, the gifts this time are not just 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 are not large, but it's still a sign of respect. When I participated in the Cosmos Peak Tournament as Wu Ming, these forces also conducted full-platform advertising promotions."

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

"You're always so thoughtful, Miaomiao." Xu Jingming smiled and nodded, immediately swiping to send his wife a copy of the gift list and the amount of each gift.

"Hmm?"

Xu Jingming looked up, his gaze directed towards space outside Blue Star.

"What's wrong?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"I need to go out and greet some guests," Xu Jingming said, getting up.

"You're personally greeting guests?" Li Miaomiao was surprised. Recently, Blue Star Civilization had been receiving guests who came to offer congratulations. Xu Jingming would meet with those of sufficient status later.

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

...

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming appeared in a stretch of starry sky in the solar system, watching a ship that looked like flowing water emerge from distorted space. The ship disappeared immediately afterward, and three figures appeared.

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

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

"We've only met on the virtual world network before. This is the first time we're meeting in reality," said a green-haired elder. 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.

"I think all the Source Life experts of the human race in the entire universe must feel like country bumpkins when they see Brother Wu Ming," a one-eyed man in plain black clothes said with a laugh.

Xu Jingming said, "Compared to the three of you, I'm still a newcomer. To be honest, I'm still struggling with the most basic 'spacetime wormhole model' lately."

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

"If Senior Sister Freri is willing to teach, Junior Brother will naturally be happy to learn," Xu Jingming said.

Madam Freri is the scholar with the highest academic rank in the Wu Hook Star Alliance, a scholar of level 126! She is also a member of the Primordial Research Institute, with a very esteemed status.

"Rest assured, their rights will be ensured," Besa said. "We negotiate with each of their civilizations separately, and we offer sufficiently good migration conditions. They will migrate to other star systems, and they will have new life planets, as well as some compensation."

"Civilization migration will be watched by countless other civilizations throughout the Wu Hook Star Alliance. The plan must be fair enough," Madam Freri also said. "Otherwise, many civilizations will be disappointed, and many elders will object."

Xu Jingming nodded.

No matter how fair or how much compensation, after all, the other civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy are about to undergo a major migration.

But...

Blue Star Civilization needs to develop; there's no other way.

The civilization competition of the human race in the universe is that cruel. Perhaps those three Supreme Realm experts want to create such competition! Enough competition is needed to hone more human experts and resist foreign enemies.

If Xu Jingming had integrated into the cosmos civilization in a very comfortable environment, without any danger, where he could enjoy himself to the fullest, he probably wouldn't have worked so hard.

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

"As long as two-thirds pass, I believe there won't be many who object," Madam Freri said with a smile.

Indeed, every elder sent Xu Jingming a congratulatory letter and a gift. The possibility of objecting to this matter is very low.

"Taking on the role of Executive Elder is indeed daunting, as I have no experience," Xu Jingming said. "However, I will do my best."

"Experience is accumulated slowly."

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

They also believe that Xu Jingming will be the fifth member of the Cosmos Human Alliance Council from the Wu Hook Star Alliance in the near future.

—

His Highness Lu Naduor sat on the throne of his spaceship, which was still heading towards the Yuanshing Civilization. After all, it was a long journey across many cosmos domains, and it would take a long time.

"Xu Jingming's celebration is in two days."

"I have to send a gift before the celebration."

Lu Naduor hesitated. Li Miaomiao listened.

Is three thousand years of life short? She felt 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 is garrisoned at a fortress and has a very important mission and cannot leave," the one-eyed Besa explained. "He also asked me to personally express his apologies to you."

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

Mr. Zang Gu is another tenth-order Source Life expert in the Wu Hook Star Alliance.

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

The entire Wu Hook Star Alliance… only has these four council members for the time being.

"You are the fastest to become a Source Life expert in the history of our Wu Hook Star Alliance, so the Wu Hook Star Alliance naturally has reason to give you a sufficiently high talent reward," Besa said. "Our Executive Elders 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 other civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. At that time, apart from the solar system where Blue Star Civilization is located, the rest of the Milky Way galaxy will be rewarded to you personally. You will own everything in it."

"At the same time, all life planets in the Milky Way galaxy that do not have a 'virtual host' will be equipped with them 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 humans of Blue Star Civilization want to migrate to these planets, we will also arrange spaceships to cooperate," Besa said. "In short, everything will be perfectly handed over."

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

A galaxy that has been managed for so long like the Milky Way is very valuable.

"This is coming from the official account of the Wu Hook Star Alliance," the green-haired elder beside him said with a smile. "The official already has many expenses for cultivating talent. You are the most outstanding talent in history, so naturally, you must be given sufficient talent rewards. Otherwise, if a talent like you runs away, it would be the greatest loss for our Wu Hook Star Alliance."

"Those civilizations in the Milky Way that are being migrated..." Xu Jingming opened his mouth. Although they have no talent in the direction of the evolutionary path, the official human race in the universe is sparing no expense to help them become Source Life experts through external forces.

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

The three of them nodded happily.

Whoosh!

The four people present disappeared out of thin air, and when they reappeared, they were already in the courtyard of Xu Jingming's home on Blue Star.

"Xiao Wu, prepare some fruit," Xu Jingming instructed the intelligent robot Xiao Wu, while personally taking out the prepared fine wine and pouring it for the three of them.

Li Miaomiao also noticed the guests in the courtyard.

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

Li Miaomiao walked out with some doubt.

"Miaomiao," Xu Jingming took the initiative to introduce, first introducing the green-haired elder, "This is Brother Shenshui. He is an Executive Elder of our Wu Hook Star Alliance's Council of Elders and is also a tenth-order Source Life expert."

Li Miaomiao was shocked.

Executive Elder? Tenth-order Source Life expert? One must know that there are only three tenth-order Source Life experts in the entire Wu Hook Star Alliance!

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

The green-haired elder nodded with a smile.

"This is my Senior Sister Freri. She is also from our Primordial Research Institute. Senior Sister Freri is the scholar with the highest academic qualifications in the entire Wu Hook Star Alliance. The spacetime wormhole model that I am struggling to study now is as simple as addition and subtraction to Senior Sister Freri," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Senior Sister Freri is also an Executive Elder of the Wu Hook Star Alliance."

"Senior Sister Freri," Li Miaomiao also greeted.

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

"Mr. Besa," Li Miaomiao quickly greeted.

Chief Executive Officer? That meant he was the highest administrative official of the Wu Hook Star Alliance and was also a tenth-order Source Life expert.

"Sister-in-law is really young," Shenshui said with emotion. "This reminds me of my wife. My wife only had a lifespan of three thousand years and has been gone for tens of thousands of years."

Xu Jingming was also a little emotional.

This is also a common situation for powerful Source Life experts.

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

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

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