Chapter 1 Unfathomable

In the dimly lit hall, Lu Naxing sat alone.

"Wu Ming has become a Cosmic Legend." Lu Naxing looked at the wine glass in front of him, picked it up, and took a small sip.

"Actually, from the day Wu Ming became a Source lifeform, I always wanted to befriend him and become friends with him." Lu Naxing's gaze passed through the roof, seeing the infinite starry sky outside the planet, "I knew that his talent was outstanding and dazzling, even though I was the heir to the throne at the time, I never dared to underestimate him."

"Later, when I became emperor, I still didn't target him in the slightest."

"But who would have thought that he would be corrupted, he went mad, and he directly contacted me. At the same time as contacting me, he publicly executed my brother." Lu Naxing poured himself another glass of wine, "What could I do? An emperor! Receiving a message and my brother being executed just like that. He even publicly threatened me that he would publicly execute me in the future… Could I turn a blind eye?"

"If I turned a blind eye, I would be laughed at by the entire universe! Where would the dignity of the emperor be?" Lu Naxing was bitter.

He had always been unwilling to form a feud with Xu Jingming, and tried to resolve the grudges.

But Xu Jingming killed his brother in front of his face and threatened him publicly! As an emperor, he had to fight back. For the dignity of the royal family of a higher civilization, he had to fight back.

"The three major royal families are all standing behind me," Lu Naxing said. "In the end, the Supreme Court only lightly punished Wu Ming!"

"After that, I still avoided him and never wanted to target him. But all forces in the entire human race of the universe believe that Wu Ming and I are already enemies." Lu Naxing mocked himself, "Everyone thinks you are enemies, so naturally you are enemies." Lu Naxing murmured, "From beginning to end, I have been avoiding becoming an enemy with him."

"But fate has pushed me step by step. I don't believe in fate, but now… I have to believe it." Lu Naxing shook his head.

He was considered to have outstanding talent among the royal children, becoming a tenth-order Source lifeform in three thousand years, and he was also very cautious in his actions.

As for his brother? In fact, in the three major royal families, and in many large families, there were many similar纨绔子弟 (wankuzidi, good-for-nothing playboys).

"There are many, many parasites in the numerous large families of the universe. Can Wu Ming take care of them all? It just so happened that my brother ran into Wu Ming."

"If Wu Ming hadn't been corrupted, he wouldn't have been so crazy. Who would have thought that he would be corrupted by a high-dimensional entity, and I would become the victim instead." Lu Naxing poured himself another glass of wine.

Suddenly, a figure condensed from nothingness, it was the previous emperor, Ma Xun.

"So it's Senior Ma Xun coming to see me." Lu Naxing looked up at him and smiled, "The Council of Elders is quite considerate of me."

"The Royal Council of Elders has already determined the new emperor." Ma Xun said, "Lu Naxing, you should know what to do."

"I understand, I will take the initiative to abdicate in the name of focusing on the path of evolution." Lu Naxing smiled, "Does the Council of Elders have a time requirement for me to abdicate?"

"Within a year," Ma Xun said.

Lu Naxing nodded slightly, "Understood."

"The Council of Elders has to do this, you should understand," Ma Xun said.

"The strongest Cosmic Legend of this era, who will most likely be on par with the three Supreme Realms in the future." Lu Naxing nodded, "The decision of the Council of Elders is not wrong."

Lu Naxing looked at Ma Xun, "Senior Ma Xun, for so many years, I have never wanted to be an enemy with Wu Ming, or to form a feud with him. But I unknowingly came to this point, why do you think that is?"

Ma Xun was stunned, "If I had to say, it's because you didn't manage your family well."

"Manage?" Lu Naxing sneered, "My brother's feud with Wu Ming was before Wu Ming became a Source lifeform, who would have thought? As for recruiting talents with ruthless methods, is that a big deal in the universe?"

"My brother was greedy, but how many greedy children are there in large families? If I want to manage them, how many people in the entire royal family would I have to manage? If I were to forcibly manage all the greedy people in the entire royal family, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit in this position securely." Lu Naxing shook his head.

Ma Xun was silent. "Yes, when Lu Naxing was emperor, the Yuanxing Civilization was still very stable, precisely because Lu Naxing didn't cause trouble. I have been very careful step by step, but I have ended up in this state." Lu Naxing stood up, "The only explanation is that this is fate."

Ma Xun looked at Lu Naxing, who was turning to leave, and said slowly, "In the river of fate, countless people are like fish that have to swim with the current. But Wu Ming is a giant on the shore who can cut off the river of fate, and even change the river of fate."

"Change fate?" Lu Naxing stopped, sneered, "Legend has it that third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms control time and space, control the past, the future, and the present, control cause and effect and fate. A Wu Ming can control fate? Is he worthy?"

"For us, he can already control our fate," Ma Xun said.

Lu Naxing was stunned, "That's right, he can already decide our fate." Lu Naxing went out and disappeared into the hall.

Blue Star, in the courtyard of the old mansion.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming looked at the latest news in the light screen, "Lu Naxing wants to focus on the path of evolution and chooses to abdicate?"

"He abdicated?" Li Miaomiao, who was peeling oranges beside him, was surprised, "The position of emperor of a higher civilization, and the resources directly and indirectly owned, are still very vast. Usually, they would stay on the throne for tens of thousands of years, how long has he been emperor?" Xu Jingming smiled.

"Is it because of you, Jingming?" Li Miaomiao guessed.

"Actually, I haven't paid much attention to Lu Naxing," Xu Jingming said.

"But the outside world thinks… you care!" Li Miaomiao said.

Xu Jingming looked at his wife with a smile, "Miaomiao, you see through things so clearly now."

Li Miaomiao smiled, "I can feel your influence now. After your breakthrough, all forces in the entire human race of the universe are very concerned about your attitude! Among the top forces, many top forces have changed their recruitment rules. Many large families are working hard to repair their relationship with our Xu family. Those with great grudges… don't even need us to take action, they actively seek death one by one."

"The stronger the individual, the stronger the radiation influence on the outside world." Xu Jingming said, "Just like the three Supreme Realms completely determine the rules and order of the entire human race of the universe. Just like that existence of the Void God race, he invisibly influences all races in the universe! Compared with them, I am still far behind." Xu Jingming said.

"Your goal is already them?" Li Miaomiao smiled.

Xu Jingming was stunned, smiled, and then looked in a certain direction, which was the location of the auxiliary universe he had discovered.

In that starry sky, invisible power condensed into a figure, which was Xu Jingming in black robes.

After mastering the power of the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming could easily form clones, each of which was condensed from the power of the Heart Realm. Like this clone condensed at this moment, it consumed most of the power of his Heart Realm.

"After becoming a Cosmic Legend, I can explore the auxiliary universe properly." Xu Jingming quickly passed through the high-dimensional gate and came to the dark and empty passage of the auxiliary universe. Flying along the passage, he saw the familiar fiery red world.

Rumble~~~

In the fiery red world, countless volcanoes erupted with magma, but the cosmic fruit trees no longer had any fruit.

"Hu." Xu Jingming took a step and passed through the fiery red world, heading to the location of the patterned stone pillars.

The patterned stone pillars were 1.6 light-years high, such a length could easily run through the entire solar system. Xu Jingming observed the patterned stone pillars as he approached, peeking into their more real side.

1. 6 light-years is how it unfolds in the low-dimensional universe. The real patterned stone pillar, which Xu Jingming can peek into at this moment, is composed of complexities and vastness that are many times greater than the scales of the Tianmang (Sky Python). Indirectly, it can be judged that the monster is many times stronger than the nascent high-dimensional lifeform "Tianmang".

"High-dimensional space objects are complex and heavy." Xu Jingming walked to a broken patterned stone pillar, the broken patterned stone pillar was infinitely vast, and Xu Jingming reached out and touched its surface.

Buzz~~

The moment he touched it, a large amount of high-dimensional information impacted Xu Jingming's mind.

However, having reached the realm of the "Heart Lotus" and mastering the power of the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming could directly face the real image of the Lord of the Void Abyss, let alone the high-dimensional information at this moment.

"I see it." Xu Jingming's Heart Realm power quickly saw the real image of the behemoth.

This was a huge upright monster. On its body, countless black flames spread, turning the entire monster black.

"How big is its body, exactly?" Although Xu Jingming's Heart Realm power saw it, there was no reference object, making it difficult to determine the exact size. He only vaguely felt that its body was very large!

Xu Jingming took a step and went to other patterned stone pillars. The intact patterned stone pillars had terrifying repulsive force. But Xu Jingming was like an illusion, the repulsive force could not act on him at all, and he easily walked to an intact patterned stone pillar.

"The monster is already dead, the power of this auxiliary universe fragment has naturally weakened, and these patterned stone pillars have become water without a source, becoming very weak."

Xu Jingming reached out and touched the intact patterned stone pillar.

Buzz!

At this moment, the scene Xu Jingming saw was different. He saw that the huge monster opened its mouth, its mouth was like an endless abyss, and a huge celestial body, hundreds of times larger than the monster, was flying towards the monster's mouth.

"Transforming into an abyss, devouring high-dimensional celestial bodies?" Xu Jingming felt for a moment, and then walked to the next patterned stone pillar to touch it.

The collapsed patterned stone pillars only had the remnant image of the monster.

The intact patterned stone pillars showed Xu Jingming different scenes of the monster—

Either devouring high-dimensional celestial bodies, or tearing apart enemies in high-dimensional space, or erupting with all-encompassing flames, or releasing an abyss-like domain, or sitting quietly, surrounded by 3000 small light shadows…

Xu Jingming touched them one by one, becoming more and more familiar with the monster, but his heart was also becoming more and more shocked.

In the center surrounded by the 36 patterned stone pillars, inside the palace, a pair of eyes opened. The pair of eyes silently observed Xu Jingming's every move.

"That little guy is here again."

"Master, he is sensing your aura, tracing the traces you left in time and space…" The pair of eyes just watched like that, without stopping Xu Jingming.
