Chapter 38 The Child of a Supreme Being

The couple temporarily left the virtual world and returned to their personal space.

"Jingming, you said before that Chi Tong is related to the Supreme Realm," Li Miaomiao said. "Could there be an even bigger background?"

Xu Jingming sat down. "All three Supreme Beings have lived for a very long time, so at first, I thought... Senior Brother Chi Tong was a descendant of one of the Supreme Beings, and because of his outstanding talent, he received their cultivation."

"Isn't he?" Li Miaomiao asked.

Xu Jingming said, "He is the child of the 'Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space,' one of the three Supreme Beings!"

"Her child? Her biological child?" Li Miaomiao pressed.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded.

Li Miaomiao couldn't believe it. The biological child of a Supreme Being?

"Chi Tong is less than a thousand years old, which means he was born within the last thousand years?" Li Miaomiao said softly.

Xu Jingming said, "None of the three Supreme Beings of our human race, the Dean and the one from the Eternal Academy, had any children born after becoming Supreme Beings. But the Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space is different… she generally has children born every few million years."

"And in this era, the only living child of the Isolated Island of Time and Space is Senior Brother Chi Tong." Xu Jingming's expression was complicated.

Li Miaomiao exclaimed, "This is far more important than an ordinary descendant."

Xu Jingming said softly, "Miaomiao, do you know why the Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space has children born every few million years?"

"Why?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"Because it is an experiment." Xu Jingming said, "The Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space once said that she wanted to try... to give birth to a high-dimensional life from a high-dimensional life form."

"If she could give birth to a high-dimensional life, then the cosmic human race could have a group of high-dimensional lives and completely become the most powerful race in this universe."

"Most Source Lifeforms know about this." Xu Jingming said, "Just listen to it, don't spread it."

Li Miaomiao nodded.

"Supreme Beings possess incredible abilities. The Ancestor of the Prison Clan... created the entire Prison Clan. Our Dean also created Secretary-General Black Heaven. The one from the Eternal Academy also created the Eternal Guardian." Xu Jingming sighed, "The Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space wants to give birth to generations of high-dimensional lives. Although this goal is more difficult, it is not impossible."

Senior Brother Chi Tong is obviously one of the 'children' of this plan. Clearly, this plan has not yet succeeded; Senior Brother Chi Tong can only be considered to have become a Source Lifeform relatively easily. He is still too far away from the Supreme Realm.

Li Miaomiao listened.

Now that she was in charge of Lishu Group, she could learn many secrets of the universe's civilizations. When chatting with her husband, she also learned a lot about the Prison Clan, the Void God Clan, and the Human Race, which was an eye-opener.

Three days later, Senior Brother Chi Tong, with his girlfriend Qi Xiao, hosted a banquet for Xu Jingming and the other six.

"Senior brothers and sisters, junior brothers and sisters." Chi Tong was in his youthful real-world appearance, looking at everyone with a smile. "Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Qi Xiao. I even troubled Junior Brother Wu Ming to help connect us."

"I just helped pass on a message," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"I must thank Junior Brother Wu Ming." Qi Xiao smiled a little cautiously. After all, everyone present was a peerless genius, but her man, Chi Tong, was excellent, and his background allowed him to walk unhindered in the entire cosmic human race.

Gu Shan looked at them and said with a smile, "Introducing your girlfriend publicly—are you planning to get married?"

Chi Tong and Qi Xiao looked at each other.

"Yes." Chi Tong nodded with a smile. "Yes, we plan to go through the formalities in a few days."

"I just gave you a Source Lifeform congratulatory gift, and now I have to prepare a wedding gift?" Senior Sister Mo Yu said, "Your hands must be soft from receiving gifts."

"No choice. I'm poor."

Chi Tong said, "That irresponsible mother of mine doesn't give me any money, so I can only find ways to save money."

Everyone present didn't dare to murmur.

Chi Tong's mother was the Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space. Who dared to discuss her randomly?

"Everyone, sit down." Senior Brother Gu Shan urged, raising his glass with a smile. "The eight of us gathered together, and in the blink of an eye, four of us have become Source Lifeforms. The remaining four of you must work hard. Mona, you are now the eldest senior sister, you must work harder!"

"I feel like it's very difficult for me." Mona lowered her head, lacking confidence. "Junior Brother Chengyu and Junior Sister Kabuya will probably surpass me and become Source Lifeforms before me. The only thing I'm sure of is being faster than Junior Brother Qing Lin."

Qing Lin was stunned, nodded, "I calculated that I should be the last one to become a Source Lifeform, or maybe... I won't be able to become a Source Lifeform."

So heartbreaking.

Xu Jingming felt some sympathy for Senior Brother Qing Lin. Others on the path of evolution had fast and slow paces, but they were all confident of becoming Source Lifeforms. But Qing Lin's mental strength increased slower and slower after becoming an eighth-order Limit, and it became very difficult to reach 10,000 points.

"You're from the same batch as us..." Chi Tong said, "Ten thousand years from now, I still want the eight of us to gather again."

"Don't be discouraged." Gu Shan also said, "As long as you improve a little every year, you will eventually reach the threshold of a Source Lifeform."

Qing Lin raised his glass, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Okay, ten thousand years from now, we'll gather again."

He had to become a Source Lifeform to have a chance to live to ten thousand years.

He was from the same batch as Wu Ming, Chi Tong... one peerless figure after another. He, Qing Lin, naturally had to work hard as well.

...

The gathering ended.

In Chi Tong's personal space, he also invited Gu Shan, Mo Yu, and Xu Jingming.

"Senior Brother Gu Shan, Senior Sister Mo Yu, Junior Brother Wu Ming, please sit down first." Chi Tong sat down and enthusiastically poured wine. "I have very few friends since I was little. I have even fewer friends who are 'Source Lifeforms.' You are three of them."

"This wine is good." Gu Shan picked it up and tasted it. Senior Sister Mo Yu and Xu Jingming were also tasting the fine wine.

"It's better than the wine in my personal space." Xu Jingming praised.

Chi Tong sat down with a smile, holding his wine glass. "Most Source Lifeforms know that I am actually a test subject."

Xu Jingming and the other two were slightly stunned.

"From birth to today, for more than 800 years, I have only seen my mother three times." Chi Tong said, "The first time was when I was born. I had memories then. The second time was when I was just recruited by the Yuanchu Research Institute. The third time was… three days ago, the day I became a Source Lifeform."

"In those three meetings, I had already realized that I am a test subject. Didn't she publicly say that she wanted to give birth to a high-dimensional life?" Chi Tong said, "And I am obviously a failure."

The memories of the three meetings with his mother were terrible.

Chi Tong couldn't feel 'maternal love.' What he felt was a kind of scrutiny, a check on the test subject.

"Junior Brother Chi Tong." Gu Shan said, "I believe your mother cares about you too, it's just that she is a high-dimensional life, and you simply don't understand her."

"I don't understand her?" Chi Tong was stunned, looking at Gu Shan. "Senior Brother Gu Shan, do you know what she said to me three days ago?"

Gu Shan, Mo Yu, and Xu Jingming listened.

"She said... 'Child, when you become a Cosmic Legend, I will come to see you again. Otherwise, this will be our last meeting.'" Chi Tong repeated it, scoffing, "The last meeting in this lifetime? Is this a high-dimensional life? I really don't understand."

"Become a Cosmic Legend?"

"In the entire cosmic human race with its 34 cosmic domains, there are only seven Cosmic Legends in the current era." Chi Tong said, "How can I become a Cosmic Legend? Perhaps in her eyes, her test subject being able to become a Cosmic Legend means that she is closer to giving birth to a 'high-dimensional life.' My value as a test subject will be greater, and it will be worth her seeing me again?"

Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

To the Master of the Isolated Island of Time and Space, Chi Tong was just one of her experiments every few million years. She would watch Chi Tong grow. When Chi Tong's lifespan ended, he would die, the same as her past children.

But to Chi Tong, she was his mother! His only relative in this world!

Becoming a Source Lifeform was a great joyous event, but the words she spoke made Chi Tong despair... If he didn't become a Cosmic Legend, this would be their last meeting? How could Chi Tong not resent it?

"I heard that the three Supreme Beings are very busy, constantly venturing and fighting in high-dimensional spaces." Mo Yu comforted, "They are fighting for the entire human race, which is why they rarely see you."

"The three of them are the foundation of our entire cosmic human race." Xu Jingming said.

Having experienced racial conflicts, Xu Jingming knew very well that in the face of the fate of the race, what did personal feelings matter?

If the three Supreme Beings couldn't hold on, the entire human race would be in danger of falling into a 'dark age' again. How many people would die then?

"She is great, but she is also ruthless."

Chi Tong said, "Enough! You are my friends, so I want to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Xu Jingming, Gu Shan, and Mo Yu were all surprised.

"My mother threw some gifts at me when she left." Chi Tong said, "This may be the last gift I can get from her in this lifetime."

After all, to see her again, he had to become a Cosmic Legend.

"I looked at these gifts, and they are indeed very precious." Chi Tong said, "Qi Xiao and I will be getting married soon, and I really need enough wealth, so I plan to sell some of the gifts."

Gu Shan said immediately, "Those were given to you by your mother."

"She said I can do whatever I want with them." Chi Tong said, "And what I plan to sell is 'Time-Space Star Sand.' This kind of cosmic treasure is only useful for personal use once or twice. And I have a whole bag of Time-Space Star Sand. What's the point of keeping it if I don't sell it?"

"Time-Space Star Sand?" Xu Jingming, Gu Shan, and Mo Yu's eyes lit up.

They had all heard of it.

The three top factions each had their own treasures and valuables.

Like Time-Space Star Sand, only a small amount was occasionally produced on the Isolated Island of Time and Space, and it was usually distributed among the top experts on the Isolated Island of Time and Space! If members of other top factions wanted to buy it, they had to increase the price or even pay other costs to get it.

"One grain of Time-Space Star Sand costs 100 trillion cosmic dollars." Chi Tong said, "You are my best friends, so I'll sell it to you at the Isolated Island of Time and Space internal price, limited to three grains per person."

"That's too cheap." Xu Jingming said, "Senior Brother Chi Tong, although the internal price on the Isolated Island of Time and Space is 100 trillion per grain, the internal tenth-order Source Lifeforms compete with each other... To get a share, the cost is more than that."

"I know."

Chi Tong shook his head. "That's why I'm not selling much, just to my closest friends, limited to three grains per person. Hurry up, stop talking nonsense. I need money for my wedding! I can't let Qi Xiao's family, the 'Demon Cloud Family,' look down on me, right?"

"Then I'll take advantage of it." Senior Brother Gu Shan smiled. "I want three grains."

"I want three grains too." Xu Jingming also said.

"You two are really rich." Mo Yu said, "Junior Brother Chi Tong, give me some time. I need to raise money. I also want three grains." Mo Yu really couldn't come up with 300 trillion in wealth right now.

Chi Tong nodded. "Selling to a few of my best friends to raise this money should be enough."

He planned to sell to nine people.

With this wealth, Qi Xiao's branch could become one of the top three branches within the Demon Cloud Family. After the marriage, Qi Xiao would be his most important relative, and he naturally wanted Qi Xiao to have enough face within the family.
