Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi
Chapter 10 Chapter 25 Calamity and Fortune
In one month, the territory originally controlled by the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon was completely renamed the Human Territory. The other races within this true universe also accepted the existence of the human race.
No race dared to provoke them!
At the same time, the virtual world network was re-established, and trade between the cosmic stars quickly resumed. The people of the new universe felt as if they were still in their old home universe.
"In just one month, our new Yunfang Star has achieved seventy percent similarity to the old Yunfang Star. And it's constructed even more beautifully and advanced."
"The living environment is better, and the benefits are better."
Only when the migrated people looked up at the unfamiliar starry sky could they confirm that they had arrived in another universe.
In all other aspects, there was really no difference from the original home universe.
"There's still a virtual world network. You can order through the virtual world network, and delicacies from all over the world are delivered to your home. I was always worried about the harsh environment of the new universe, but now it seems pretty good."
"Houses are cheaper here, and land is cheaper too. I just bought a hundred-mu suburban manor." (One mu is approximately 0.165 acres)
"The human race has a full 51 cosmic domains in the new universe, but only one-third of the previous population has migrated here, so naturally there is more land."
The new universe was thriving.
...
Humanity’s five high-dimensional beings were discussing the Demon Plant race.
"The Demon Plant race has low intelligence at the planetary level. They devour each other, and only a handful of Demon Plants on a planet can reach the star level. Only the star-level Demon Plant race has intelligence comparable to humans," said Chi Meng. "They are few in number and won’t harm the environment. They can completely become a force to help the human race."
"Planetary-level Demon Plant race poses no threat, star-level Demon Plant race can be a human aid. Source-life-level Demon Plant race… even more obedient to our race's orders," the Dean nodded. "We can accept the Demon Plant race. Even if a Demon Plant race high-dimensional life is born in the future, it’s just one more alien high-dimensional life on Ten Thousand Star Island."
"Resources for nurturing the Demon Plant race must be restricted," said the Tower Master.
"Of course."
The Dean nodded, "Everything will be a fair trade."
They poured massive resources into nurturing human source-lives! But for the Demon Plant race, it would be a fair trade.
Giving them a fair trade opportunity was already benevolent.
Humanity once imposed comprehensive restrictions on the Zerg!
"Back then, when we controlled the Zerg, we completely cut off their resources. Now the Zerg are completely declining, weak and不堪 (bukan - wretched, unbearable)," the Eternal Tower Master said with a smile.
The Dean nodded, "In the past, our human race was weak, and there were other races around us competing with us. The Zerg were one of them, and they caused us a lot of trouble. The Zerg race is… too united. At the command of the Queen Mother, countless Zerg do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives. And wherever they go, they devour everything, even planets. Such a race cannot be allowed to expand wantonly."
The Zerg were harmful and good at breeding and expanding.
Fortunately, the Zerg’s top combat power was inferior to that of the human race, merely causing trouble. At the high-dimensional life level, individual power was ultimately what mattered.
"Xu Jingming," said the Space-Time Island Master, "Have you been collecting intelligence from the trade lands in various territories recently?"
"I have."
Xu Jingming nodded. Since the migration task was completed, many of his avatars scattered in the surrounding 1,987 territories had been inquiring about information in various trade centers.
As an Eternal Realm of the Mind-Realm lineage, he was quite respected in the trade lands of various territories.
"I haven't heard of any opportunities to learn the Third Realm inheritance yet," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Don't worry, I will first inquire about news in the surrounding two thousand territories. Afterwards, I will go to other, more distant territories to explore along the way. Once I discover an opportunity to learn the Third Realm inheritance, I will immediately notify everyone."
The Dean smiled, "We don't force it. It all depends on luck."
"With Jingming around, the probability of discovering opportunities is a thousand times greater than ours," the Eternal Tower Master said with a smile.
"Never compare with the Mind-Realm lineage when it comes to opportunities," Chi Meng also said with a smile.
Xu Jingming said with a smile, "By the way, I will gradually migrate the 'humans' from the experimental planets back recently."
"The survival experiment plan is over, so it's time to migrate them back," the Dean said. "The migration rules will be according to what we decided before."
"I understand. Those above the fourth level of the planetary realm voluntarily migrate, and those below the third level will stay on the original planet and live out their lives peacefully," Xu Jingming said.
Although the experimental planets initially only housed human criminals, after tens of thousands of years of reproduction, the earliest batch of human criminals had all died of old age!
Without resources or guidance, they could not become source-lives at all.
Those who were alive now were descendants who were separated by who knows how many generations.
Xu Jingming had taken care of them for a long time after all, and he had feelings for them. The migration plan was also for the sake of these descendants.
The new home universe and the original universe were very similar.
But it was very different from other experimental universes. The humans in these survival experiments, after cruel elimination, died in batches, and generations were naturally selected. The current descendants had adapted to their respective universes. Suddenly going to the new home universe, which had a very low degree of similarity, the mortality rate would probably be shocking.
Xu Jingming dared not let those below the third level of the planetary realm go, and would rather let them live out their lives peacefully on the experimental planet.
...
Nearly two thousand territories, tens of thousands of experimental planets, each experimental planet was sheltered by a Black Lotus avatar.
"Vice Dean."
106 star-level lifeforms respectfully looked at Xu Jingming. They were all the star-level lifeforms on this experimental planet.
"The human race has already migrated to the new universe, and it’s time for you to go to the new universe as well," Xu Jingming looked at them. "In this migration plan, those above the fourth level of the planetary realm can choose voluntarily. If you have many concerns and can't let go, you can also stay on this experimental planet. But... I will only protect this place for another thousand years. After a thousand years, I will also leave. Without my protection, humans cannot survive in this universe."
"The Vice Dean is leaving too?" These star-level lifeforms looked at each other.
On this planet, they were high above, the absolute ruling class. Not everyone was willing to migrate to an unfamiliar universe.
They all knew that the real human race was very large! The number of source-lives was also very large. If these star-level lifeforms returned to the race... they would be much more mediocre.
"I will leave," Xu Jingming nodded. "So let them choose voluntarily. As for those below the third level of the planetary realm, there’s no need for them to go. They've adapted to this universe. If they go to another universe with very different operating rules... the mortality rate will be shocking."
"Will we be unaccustomed to the environment if we go to the new universe?" a star-level lifeform asked.
"Star-level lifeforms have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, so there won't be any problems," Xu Jingming said.
The star-level lifeforms present breathed a sigh of relief.
"You can leave now," Xu Jingming said.
"Yes, Vice Dean."
The star-level lifeforms left one by one.
Since becoming an Eternal Realm, Xu Jingming had begun to interact with these experimental humans.
"Those above the fourth level of the planetary realm are few in number. Adding up tens of thousands of experimental planets, it won't take too long to transport them with the Space-Time Prison," Xu Jingming had prepared for transportation.
Suddenly—
An invisible fluctuation contacted him.
"Wu Ming." A voice contacted him.
"Amoka, my friend, why are you contacting me suddenly?" Xu Jingming responded. Amoka was also an Eternal Realm of the Mind-Realm lineage, and was a friend that Xu Jingming had met. Xu Jingming liked to make friends in the surrounding two thousand territories.
Since both sides were of the Mind-Realm lineage, they could communicate remotely through mutual sensing.
"Wu Ming, haven't you been looking for the inheritance of a half-step Third Realm Mind Weapon?" Amoka contacted him remotely, "Now there's an opportunity to learn it."
"Mind Weapon inheritance? Half-step Third Realm?" Xu Jingming was overjoyed.
He had always yearned for the Mind Weapon inheritance.
He didn’t think much of ordinary Eternal Realm level inheritances. With the 21 weapons hanging in the tower in the animal hide space, he could figure out more ordinary weapon inheritances himself.
A half-step Third Realm inheritance was too rare!
"One of my avatars passed by the distant Jiajiu 1037 Territory and heard a piece of news that a Mind-Realm lineage senior has taken out three half-step Third Realm inheritances for juniors to learn. It only costs 100,000 drops of Abyss True Blood to learn one," Amoka said. "I've already learned one inheritance."
"Jiajiu 1037 Territory? Where is it? I'm going!" Xu Jingming's eyes were fiery.
"Hahaha, Wu Ming, my friend. I'll send you a territory map," Amoka said enthusiastically.
"I can't take advantage of you," Xu Jingming said.
"It's a free gift. You can help me when I encounter trouble in the future," Amoka was very enthusiastic and quickly transmitted information remotely through the mark. It was a territory map.
Xu Jingming was secretly surprised when he saw it.
"So far? Even if I'm an Eternal Realm of the Mind-Realm lineage, it will take me three years to get there?" Xu Jingming thought. This was also normal. Every Eternal Realm of the Mind-Realm lineage was a great traveler, traveling through endless distant regions.
"100,000 drops of Abyss True Blood to learn once," Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "Fortunately, in recent years, my tens of thousands of avatars have been exploring the Mind-Realm and have found a large number of relics, including two with treasures."
That was right.
It took tens of thousands of avatars so long to find two places with treasures. The others were empty relics.
"I also divided a quarter of the spoils of war from killing Yu Fangtuo and the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon Si Nan. Adding the two treasures, I can at least come up with 100,000 drops of Abyss True Blood," Xu Jingming was in a happy mood.
Xu Jingming had made great contributions to the killing of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon and Yu Fangtuo, acting as bait and holding back Yu Fangtuo.
In the final distribution of spoils, the four people divided it equally.
"I finally have the opportunity to learn the inheritance of the half-step Third Realm," Xu Jingming was very grateful. "It was very difficult for the Dean and the others to obtain the inheritance of the half-step Third Realm. But it's much easier for me. The Mind-Realm lineage has many avatars that can travel the endless territories. There are indeed more opportunities to obtain inheritance. Even after a long time, there is still a chance to come into contact with the existence of the Third Realm."
He remembered that Gu Jinshi had traveled the endless territories and had even received personal guidance from two Third Realm existences!
...
In a piece of chaos.
There was a figure radiating light sitting in front of a painting. Her figure could not be seen clearly, it was endless dazzling light!
She was holding a brush and painting carefully.
"Oh, I paint so well, my painting skills can be regarded as the Third Realm."
She looked at the painting with satisfaction, admiring it, "The world in the painting is already evolving, and it has also nurtured countless indigenous low-dimensional lives, and the flow of time is also stable."
"But..."
She pondered, "These indigenous low-dimensional lives are too mediocre. I need good enough lives to make the world in this painting more splendid and exciting. The splendor of a world ultimately depends on the lives living in it."
She looked ahead, her gaze instantly covering endless territories.
"Select nine territories from countless territories, and select half of the high-dimensional lives in each territory," she waved her paintbrush gently, and suddenly nine distant territories among the endless distances...
The high-dimensional lives in these nine territories were either in the real universe, or in some dangerous secret realms, or were trading, or were comprehending the evolutionary method...
But suddenly, they disappeared out of thin air!
Whether they were newly promoted First Realm high-dimensional lives, or overlords of the half-step Third Realm, or Abyss Lords, in short, everything was random, and 50% of them were randomly selected.
Xu Jingming had many avatars, scattered in nearly 2,000 territories! Xu Jingming's avatar was also selected with a 50% probability.
"Hmm?" Xu Jingming's avatar was originally sitting cross-legged in the Mind-Realm, but suddenly felt completely out of control of himself, which surprised him, "What's going on?"
The time and space in front of him changed.
Xu Jingming saw it. He only saw one high-dimensional life after another around him. Some of them had auras that were too much stronger than Xu Jingming's. They were all a little panicked and at a loss, and together they fell into an extremely huge picture.
"There are many avatars, scattered in too many territories. There are more opportunities, but there are also more dangers." Xu Jingming also understood at this moment why most of the Mind-Realm lineage Eternal Realms also had limited lifespans.
As the thought flashed, Xu Jingming and countless high-dimensional lives all fell into the painting.
