Chapter 11 Family

Li Miaomiao came into the study carrying a plate of fruit and found Xu Jingming had already closed the light screen and was in a daze.

"Miaomiao." Xu Jingming looked at his wife.

"What's wrong?" Li Miaomiao asked, puzzled.

"Grandpa, and our parents are all over 2,900 years old," Xu Jingming said. "Most of them aren't far from the end of their lifespan."

Li Miaomiao looked at her husband, "Jingming, what are you thinking?"

Except for Xu's father, who had some talent on the path of evolution and reached the eighth level with the help of an evolutionary guide, the other elders were all ordinary cosmic lifeforms.

"Of course, it's to extend their lives," Xu Jingming said. "If I have the ability to do it, I naturally have to do it."

"To become a Source Life with external force." Li Miaomiao said worriedly, "The human race generally limits the qualifications for free external force Source Life conversion to scholars with a degree of 1,000. It's not allowed for others without special reasons."

Xu Jingming said, "There are still a few spots available."

"Cosmic Legends have the qualification to apply! And 'Great Scholars' who have made enough contributions also have the qualification to apply," Xu Jingming said.

"Applying for the first external force Source Life spot requires deducting 100 million merits. The second spot requires 200 million merits, the third spot is 500 million merits, and then it's 1 billion, 2 billion, 5 billion, 10 billion, 20 billion in that order."

Li Miaomiao's expression changed as she listened. "That's so many merits? 100 million merits can buy ten galaxies. How many merits did you accumulate in total before becoming a Cosmic Legend, Jingming?"

Generally, Cosmic Legends only apply for a few spots for their families.

"I've been thinking about it; Grandpa, both our parents, you, Miaomiao, our daughter, and also Xu Fangjin and Xu Biyun, those two little ones," Xu Jingming said. "This is my tentative list."

"Aren't those spots very precious?" Li Miaomiao asked, "Wouldn't that be too many? Actually, I think living for thousands or tens of thousands of years is already a lot. There's no need to be too demanding."

"It's not being demanding," Xu Jingming smiled. "Since I can do it, why not? My family are the people I care about most in this world."

Li Miaomiao nodded.

"Moreover, with the help of evolutionary guides, many of you are already eighth-level cosmic lifeforms, far from the end of your lifespan," Xu Jingming said. "Currently, the only ones who need to break through with external force are Grandpa, my mother, and your parents, a total of four people."

Li Miaomiao nodded. "Four people means 1.8 billion merits. After the fifth person, the merits will continue to soar."

After the couple confirmed their decision, they immediately and quietly implemented it.

They personally invited the four elders, who were confused, and sent them to the headquarters of the Cosmic Human Alliance for Source Life breakthrough transformations.

"What's happening to us?" Old Master Xu, Mr. and Mrs. Li Chen'an, and Xu's mother, upon regaining consciousness, discovered the earth-shattering changes in themselves.

"What's wrong with our bodies?" Mr. and Mrs. Li Chen'an, who originally had full heads of white hair, now had their white hair turning black, returning to their prime.

"It was Jingming who applied for the spots, allowing you to become Source Lives with external force," Li Miaomiao said, greeting them.

"Become Source Lives?" Mr. and Mrs. Li Chen'an couldn't believe it.

"What about our bodies?" Old Master Xu exclaimed in amazement as his body transformed into a cloud of smoke before re-condensing.

"This is cosmic source power? I can also become a Source Life. Grandson! It wasn't easy to apply for these spots, was it?"

…Xu's mother couldn't help but exclaim, "I heard that even the emperors of the three great royal families don't have the qualifications to apply for spots."

As Xu Jingming's mother, she had enjoyed a life of luxury for many years and knew a lot about the top-level information of the cosmic human race.

"Mom," Li Miaomiao said, "Your son is much more amazing than them."

"Let's go home," Xu Jingming said, leading his family.

Whoosh!

In an instant, they returned to Blue Star from the distant headquarters of the Cosmic Human Alliance.

"Crossing multiple cosmic sectors, over billions of light-years away, and arriving in an instant," Old Master Xu looked at Xu Jingming.

"My grandson is becoming more and more amazing."

When he was young, he was a professional esports player and a game streamer. How could he have imagined that his grandson would be so powerful?

Even he had soared into the sky, becoming a Source Life with a lifespan of 30,000 years.

Mr. and Mrs. Li Chen'an lived on a private planet.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Five spaceships arrived at the private planet together.

"Dad, Mom, can my brother-in-law help me apply as well?"

"Your elder sister told us that applying for a spot is very difficult. Even the younger generation of the Xu family can't all be satisfied, so don't have such extravagant hopes," Li Chen'an shook his head. "You have to be mindful of your actions. A lifespan of 3,000 years is long enough. What else are you hoping for? I'm making it clear here that you are not to disturb your elder sister and brother-in-law. You'll regret it if you anger your brother-in-law."

"If we can't find our brother-in-law, we'll find our elder sister. We'll go find our elder sister ourselves."

The temptation of lifespan was enough to drive even the obedient children of the past crazy.

The closer they got to the end of their lifespan, the more they craved to become Source Lives. Their parents could get spots, so why couldn't they?

Li Miaomiao usually resolved matters on the Li family's side and never bothered Xu Jingming.

"Master, Xiaoqing." Xu Jingming came to visit Dai Tongda and Dai Xiaoqing.

Dai Tongda didn't have an evolutionary guide. Although Xu Jingming had also gifted his master some resources, his master and junior sister were still far from the eighth level.

"Jingming."

"Senior Brother."

Dai Tongda and Dai Xiaoqing were also pleasantly surprised by Xu Jingming's arrival.

Xu Jingming had long been deified. He was the Blue Star Civilization's greatest leader, an extremely dazzling figure in the human race, and even publicly recognized as someone who would become a new "Supreme existence."

With such a figure visiting, the Dai family was naturally in a commotion, and everyone else retreated. Only Dai Tongda and Dai Xiaoqing accompanied him.

"Unknowingly, I'm already over 2,900 years old," Dai Tongda said with a smile. "Xiaoqing and I both have full heads of silver hair, but you, Jingming, are still young."

"Senior Brother will become a Supreme existence in the future," Dai Xiaoqing said admiringly. "Unfortunately, we won't be able to see it."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Xu Jingming asked.

Dai Tongda and Dai Xiaoqing exchanged glances.

"No need," Dai Tongda said. "The Limo Group usually helps us a lot, so we don't have any worries."

Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

"In this lifetime, we've experienced a lot, the virtual worlds of the virtual world network… satisfying all our childhood fantasies."

Dai Tongda said with emotion, "This lifetime has been really wonderful."

…Dai Xiaoqing looked at her father. "My dad can't forget my mom, but otherwise, he's pretty carefree."

Dai Tongda was stunned, his wrinkled face with reminiscence in his eyes.

Compared to that woman, the other women he had met in later years were not worth mentioning.

"Master, Xiaoqing," Xu Jingming said, "You must remember what I'm about to say."

The two of them looked at Xu Jingming.

"Don't hold on until the last day of your lifespan," Xu Jingming said. "You can die ten days or half a month before the end."

Current technology was very advanced and could allow cosmic lifeforms to hold on until the last moment of their lifespan.

"Ten days or half a month before the end?" Dai Tongda and Dai Xiaoqing asked, puzzled.

"In the future, when I become a Supreme existence, there is hope to change the fate of low-dimensional lifeforms," Xu Jingming said, "Resurrecting you, and even Master, your wife whom you have always been unable to forget can be resurrected."

His master's wife had died young, naturally far from the end of her lifespan.

"Really?" Dai Tongda was stunned. He dreamed of seeing his wife again.

"There's only hope," Xu Jingming said.

Cultivating dependents wasn't easy. Xu Jingming currently only knew of the *Dreamy Hado* lineage.

In the future, becoming a high-dimensional lifeform might give him access to new methods.

But without a doubt, Xu Jingming definitely wanted his wife, daughter, and many others to have long lifespans.

"I understand, we understand." Dai Tongda's eyes became fervent, and Dai Xiaoqing also remembered and asked, "Are there restrictions on the number of spots?"

"If I can resurrect you in the future, we'll talk about the number of spots then," Xu Jingming said. He wasn't sure about the number of spots yet. All he knew was that the number of *Dreamy Hado* dependent spots was very large.

Those serving as the 3,000 Holy Envoys were only a small part of the dependents.

While Xu Jingming was trying to comprehend and construct a high-dimensional lifeform, he was also visiting his friends.

Master Liu Hai, with Xu Jingming's resource allocation and his talent, had finally become a Source Life.

Most of his other friends were facing the end of their lifespan.

Blue Star, cemetery.

Xu Jingming stood alone in front of a tombstone.

"A'Shuo, you're gone too," Xu Jingming looked at Yang Qingshuo's name on the tombstone. "The marksman of the original Limo team. Sister Wang Yi, Big Bear, Liu Chongyuan, Heng Fang, and A'Shuo, all of you are gone."

"We were once so full of vigor, participating in the first Fire Seed Cup competition in the virtual world. Everything is still vivid in my mind. And those opponents from back then, Lei Yunfang, Fang Yu, Zhou Yi, Zhang Qing, Xiong Tianshan, and all of you, are gone."

The earliest batch of cosmic lifeforms on Blue Star, few of them could become eighth-level based on their own abilities, so naturally, they couldn't break through the 3,000-year lifespan limit.

Childhood classmates, childhood companions, and adult friends had almost all died, becoming a part of history.

Xu Jingming returned to his old house on Blue Star alone.

He sat there quietly, watching the sun slowly set.

"Jingming." Li Miaomiao sat beside him.

"I now understand why very few high-dimensional lifeforms return to their hometowns," Xu Jingming said softly, "Because the family and friends of the past are no longer there."

"A lifespan of 3,000 years, a limit of 10,000 years, 30,000 years, 100,000 years… will take away the people around you again and again, and there will be fewer and fewer people around you until only you are left alone." Xu Jingming said softly, "Being alone is what high-dimensional life is all about."

Li Miaomiao held Xu Jingming's hand.

"The goal of my life's struggle," Xu Jingming looked at his wife beside him, "is for the two of us to be able to see this sunrise and sunset often."

"Jingming, my lifespan may not be as long as yours, but I will always be with you while I'm alive," Li Miaomiao said. "You will live for a very, very long time." Xu Jingming also held his wife's hand, but suddenly his brow furrowed slightly.

Because five people had arrived outside the residential area.

"Master," the guardian said respectfully, "The five younger siblings of the Mistress are outside the residential area and wish to pay a visit to the Master."

"They chased us here?" Li Miaomiao's expression changed!

Xu Jingming frowned slightly and looked at the guardian, "Tell them to get lost!"

"Yes," the guardian responded.

"Forbid them from entering Blue Star again," Xu Jingming instructed.

"Yes," the guardian responded again.

None of the five members of the Li family were able to see Xu Jingming and were expelled from Blue Star.
