Chapter 377 Source Life

On Blue Star, besides Xu Jingming himself, only one other person knew that Xu Jingming was breaking through.

"Has it finally begun?" A man in a floral shirt, wearing slippers and big shorts, held a kebab skewer in one hand and a beer in the other, looking up at the direction of Binhai City. "To break through to become a Source Life after cultivating an evolutionary method for only 31 years… that speed is truly frightening."

He disappeared from his spot.

"Hey? Where did he go? He hasn't paid yet!" A service worker ran over to look for him, then pointed at a nearby smart robot and cursed, "You idiot, calling yourself a smart robot, you can't even keep an eye on a customer."

"There was no customer," the robot replied.

"No customer? Nonsense! What age is this, still trying to get away without paying! I'll check your surveillance and deduct your social credit points." The service worker immediately checked the surveillance, but strangely, it was indeed empty; there was no customer.

The service worker was stunned, and looked at the smart robot beside him. The smart robot innocently said, "I told you, there was no customer."

"Damn it, staying up late has messed up my memory," the service worker muttered to himself.

In Binhai City, in a park near the residential area where Xu Jingming lived, the man in the floral shirt sat by the lake, eating kebabs and drinking beer. "Right now, the straight-line distance between me and Xu Jingming is 1003 meters. At this distance, even if an enemy from the Supreme Realm entered the solar system, I would have enough time to take Xu Jingming and run."

The man in the floral shirt was very confident.

If it wasn't someone from the Supreme Realm? He wouldn't even need to run!

"What Supreme Realm alien would have the time to pay attention to you, little guy?" The man in the floral shirt ate and drank while also concentrating fully, paying attention to Xu Jingming's breakthrough process.

Inside the virtual room.

Xu Jingming sat down cross-legged. "The first step to breaking through to become a Source Life is to use mental strength to leverage the cosmic source power!"

Boom!

Xu Jingming's mental strength, enough to distort reality, began to explore the cosmic source power.

There were countless kinds of energy in the universe.

But there was one kind of energy that was the most basic unit of all matter and energy. When all matter and energy were broken down to the smallest level, it was the cosmic source power. Its 'minuteness' was so small that it was unbelievable. For many elementary cosmic civilizations, it was impossible to even glimpse it.

Although the 'mental strength' of Star Realm lifeforms was miraculous, it had to be at the eighth-order limit, and even then, only a very few with sufficiently strong mental strength could reach the level of glimpsing the cosmic source power.

"Smaller, smaller…"

Xu Jingming's mental strength entered the ultra-microscopic world. Even a speck of dust felt larger than the solar system in his perception.

"Found it."

Xu Jingming's mind was relaxed enough that he finally detected that incomparably minute level.

At this level, everything was made up of cosmic source power. It was a world belonging to 'source power'.

"Cosmic source power permeates everything. Rocks, soil, sunlight, flowing water, even space-time itself, are all made up of cosmic source power." Xu Jingming observed everything and tried to leverage it.

He leveraged some of the loosest cosmic source power that existed in the air. The cosmic source power that made up matter had a more stable structure and was much more difficult to leverage.

Although he already had experience in the virtual world, Xu Jingming was not in a hurry. He took five minutes to adapt and control these incredibly tiny cosmic source power particles.

"Very good, the cosmic source power is being controlled perfectly. Next is the transformation of the body." Xu Jingming carefully changed the skin on the back of his left hand. This part of the skin began to be energized.

"Transform the original energy into a purer, more perfect source power structure."

The construction method was recorded in the Heavenly Python Evolution Method.

This step could not be modified in any way!

The structure of life was very rigorous. Perhaps at the level of a cosmic legend or a Supreme Life, one could create a new 'Source Life' body structure. But Xu Jingming, a newcomer with shallow foundations, naturally had to follow the experience of the predecessors of the cosmic human race.

Slowly dissipating the original energy, his mental strength controlled the cosmic source power to reconstruct it.

This step was very careful and very slow.

It took Xu Jingming twelve minutes to construct a single source power structural unit.

"Next is growth and replication." Xu Jingming mobilized cosmic source power to supplement it. Life inherently had the potential for growth and replication. With Xu Jingming's support, this single source power structural unit quickly turned into ten, ten into a hundred, and soon there were tens of thousands, hundreds of millions.

Starting from one point, his entire body was rapidly changing.

Soon, the skin on the back of Xu Jingming's left hand had completely changed. It still looked like skin, but the most fundamental structure inside had changed.

Hair, skin layers, muscle layers, fascia, bones…

Expanding outward from the skin on the back of his hand in just 10 seconds, it began to permeate bones and blood vessels. Half of his body had already been transformed. Xu Jingming's life magnetic field was also changing, becoming more vast and mysterious.

Ten more seconds passed, and only the brain remained to be transformed.

"Next is the most dangerous transformation of the brain." Xu Jingming stood up. "The brain is the source of mental strength! The process of my transformation is controlled by mental strength."

"And in the process of transforming the brain, mental strength will become unstable, which is also where the danger lies."

"But my mental strength is strong enough, and my control over my physical body is strong enough."

After Xu Jingming stood up, he began to practice the Heavenly Python Evolution Method, the practice method for breaking through to become a Source Life.

This set of practice methods was to stimulate the brain to a greater extent, so that the mental strength could be as stable as possible during the transformation of the brain, increasing the chances of success.

"Inhale!!!"

Xu Jingming took a deep breath, causing a storm in the virtual room. In the storm, Xu Jingming began to cultivate the evolutionary method. His figure changed and blurred, and he even floated off the ground.

He was like a void serpent walking in mid-air.

"Hmm?"

As his brain transformed, Xu Jingming felt stinging, dizziness, and floating sensations, but he had to endure it and continue to practice each move of the evolutionary method, making his mental strength as stable as possible.

This was the final step in the transformation of 'life into source power'.

It was like a snake shedding its skin and gaining new life.

Xu Jingming was also transforming. No matter how painful or uncomfortable he was, he ensured the perfection of every move. He could control his own 'source power'. Each move, whether amplified or slowed down many times, was incredibly precise.

"Whoosh." Xu Jingming landed, his open hands slowly gathering in front of his chest in a gesture of prayer. At this moment, the transformation of his brain finally completed the last step.

At this moment, every part of his body had completely changed its life structure.

He was no longer a Star Realm lifeform, but a higher lifeform—a Source Life!

"Source Life?"

Xu Jingming opened his eyes, a smile on his lips.

31 years!

From the time he came into contact with the evolutionary method until now, 31 years, he had been pursuing greater power all the time. He had also encountered various difficulties and hardships, but in the end, he had overcome those obstacles. He came from a weak civilization with very shallow foundations.

In the mysterious place, there was much he didn't understand. He comprehended various visions and opportunities one after another, accumulating enough knowledge to understand the Primordial Star vision. He was recruited by the Primordial Research Institute before the final deadline.

After being recruited, he received an unlimited supply of information, the strongest inheritance was passed down, and cosmic treasures were consumed. Xu Jingming's progress became faster and faster.

The Demon Subduing World supplemented Xu Jingming's understanding of human nature, and the Cosmic Peak Tournament allowed Xu Jingming to undergo repeated forging, finally blooming with the most dazzling light.

This new civilization, a weak civilization, had produced a Source Life!

"Finally succeeded."

Xu Jingming smiled, and his body disappeared silently.

His body was completely decomposed into a 'source power' state. Everything was composed of source power, and source power was the smallest! The virtual room looked heavily guarded, but Xu Jingming in the source power state easily passed through.

Passing through the virtual room, Xu Jingming looked at his wife and daughter, who were logging into the virtual world network, and then he left home.

In the source power state, he didn't even need the help of the Primordial Battle Armor. The Blue Star's security defense system couldn't detect him.

Whoosh!

A piece of source power flew over the city, over the ocean, and finally into outer space. The source power condensed into a human figure.

Xu Jingming stood in outer space, looking down at the entire planet.

"Based on my own source power, the range of cosmic source power I can leverage is too vast. Blue Star is just an insignificant part." Xu Jingming could feel, "I can leverage the cosmic source power within a range of 15 million kilometers centered on me."

In such a vast range, Blue Star was naturally insignificant in comparison.

"I don't need to mobilize too much, just the cosmic source power within the range of Blue Star. I only need to move it slightly," Xu Jingming sighed softly. "All life on Blue Star will be extinct."

He could cause the source power that formed the most basic structure of all life on the planet to riot, destroying the life structure, and naturally everyone would die.

"The vast majority of elementary cosmic civilizations cannot resist a Source Life."

"This is a lifeform above civilization."

Xu Jingming understood.

Even if he stood still, unless it was a weapon that could annihilate cosmic source power, he couldn't be harmed at all.

Moreover, Source Lives also had very clever means of hiding and evading. Like just now, transforming into a piece of source power to move… many elementary cosmic civilizations couldn't even observe him!

"I remember, I once possessed Xuan and radiated Ambro." Xu Jingming thought, "And now, I have also become a Source Life."

Although the cosmic human race tried to protect the rights of ordinary humans and Star Realm lifeforms, Source Lives still had an incredibly detached status.

There was no way around it.

Great power was concentrated in the individual!

In particular, the brains of each Source Life operated even more terrifyingly. After learning a large amount of scientific knowledge, their methods became even more mysterious and unpredictable.

"Master, the virtual world network has sent a notification," the Primordial Battle Armor's AI reminded.

"Oh?"

With a thought, Xu Jingming connected to the virtual world network with the help of the Primordial Battle Armor.

"Xu Jingming, congratulations on becoming a third-level lifeform: a Source Life!"

"Each Source Life can simultaneously maintain three virtual bodies in the virtual world network, multitasking and still be able to maintain normal activities in reality. The brain of a Source Life can easily handle all of this."

"Also, please be reminded that the 'Secretary-General Blackheaven' of our Primordial Research Institute has arrived on Blue Star. He will personally take you to the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute."

"Finally, congratulations again. In the history recorded by the cosmic human race, you are ranked 35th in terms of speed in becoming a Source Life."

After reading this letter, Xu Jingming was shocked. "Secretary-General Blackheaven has arrived on Blue Star? I control the source power within a range of tens of millions of kilometers, but I didn't discover him."

Whether it was his own means or the means of the Primordial Battle Armor, Xu Jingming didn't discover the other party.

"Master, all Primordial Battle Armors are managed by Secretary-General Blackheaven, so I cannot find him," the Primordial Battle Armor's AI said.

Xu Jingming nodded. Whoosh.

With the help of the Primordial Battle Armor, he had already traveled through the void and returned home.

As soon as he returned home, Xu Jingming saw a man in floral shorts in the courtyard.

"You're here?" The man in the floral shirt smiled. "You should have received the notification from the virtual world network. I am Blackheaven of the Primordial Research Institute. I have been on Blue Star for fifteen years, just waiting for today."

"Fifteen years?" Xu Jingming was stunned.

Calculating it, Secretary-General Blackheaven was already here when Lu Na Duo came to Blue Star.

"You only started your Cosmic Peak Tournament journey a few years ago, but the Primordial Research Institute discovered your amazing talent. At that time, it was estimated that you could become a Source Life within fifty years. So Vice President Chihmong sent me here to protect you in secret," the man in the floral shirt said with a smile. "If you died in an accident before becoming a Source Life, that would be our responsibility."

"Thank you, Secretary-General Blackheaven." Xu Jingming finally understood. He had been secretly protected for fifteen years?

"Let's go, now go to the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute with me."

The man in the floral shirt continued, "Vice President Chihmong and the President want to see you in person."

"Okay."

Xu Jingming also knew that every peripheral member would go to the headquarters of the Primordial Research Institute after breaking through to become a Source Life. At that time, his identity would also be officially made public.

"Let's go." The man in the floral shirt nodded, and an invisible force carried Xu Jingming.

Whoosh, ripples rose around them, and the two had disappeared, already leaving Blue Star, even leaving the range of the Hunter Cosmic Sector.
