Chapter 15 The Impending Disaster

For high-dimensional lifeforms, time passed quickly, merely a fleeting moment, and fifty thousand years had elapsed.

Within the Heart Realm territory, above the cloud clusters, there was a desk and a chair. Xu Jingming was sitting at the desk.

He contemplated and practiced moves while writing down some of his gains. In his vision, the timelines were faintly visible, allowing him to glimpse many scenes.

It was like an ordinary person looking up and seeing the distant scenery.

But Xu Jingming could simply open his eyes and ‘see’ the past and future of the timelines.

“I see it again.” Xu Jingming suddenly stopped practicing. He ‘saw’ the near future—a cemetery with rows of graves. He was all alone within the entire graveyard.

Those graves belonged to his grandfather, parents, wife, daughter… all the loved ones he cared about.

“Their lifespans are getting closer to their limits. It's becoming easier for me to see such scenes.” Xu Jingming was expressionless. When he had just become a half-step third realm existence, he could only see the distant future by deliberately watching the timelines.

But as his strength increased, a casual glance could reveal events of the next twenty or thirty thousand years, showing him similar scenes as this one.

“Time is merciless, and I am powerless.” Xu Jingming gently shook his head.

Once, for more than three hundred years, he broke through realms one after another, his fame spread far and wide, and he even obtained a third realm weapon, making him feel invincible.

But these fifty thousand years made Xu Jingming realize… the gap between half-step third realm and third realm was too vast.

The Mind Weapon and Void Abyss lineages both had inheritances. He had been making progress in these fifty thousand years, but the third realm still seemed far away. Yet, the lifespan limits of his loved ones were approaching.

Xu Jingming looked up ahead, his gaze following cause and effect to his wife, Li Miaomiao, far away in their new home universe. Miaomiao was still at the Human Academy of Sciences. As a tenth-order Source Lifeform, she had been focused for tens of thousands of years and was now a competent scholar at the Human Academy of Sciences.

The team of scholars led by Li Miaomiao was observing the changes in high-dimensional power.

“Huh?” Li Miaomiao suddenly noticed Xu Jingming’s figure appearing beside her.

“What are you doing here?” Li Miaomiao asked in surprise.

“You haven’t come to see me for so long, so I came to find you,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“I’m busy,” Li Miaomiao said with a smile, and then continued to observe the changes in high-dimensional power.

“Lord of the Realm?”

Several assistants from Li Miaomiao’s scholar team were stunned. The educational level of these assistants was generally between level 90 and level 98; none of them reached level 100. Therefore, they needed to follow Li Miaomiao and learn diligently.

“Greetings, Lord of the Realm,” the assistants immediately said respectfully.

Everyone knew that the greatest existence in the Cosmic Human race was the Lord of the Realm!

Even the high-dimensional lifeforms in the entire Nanting 3609 Sector knew that the greatest half-step third realm existence in the entire sector was Wu Ming! The Lord of the Realm, ‘Wu Ming,’ had completely established his position with his several appearances in the past fifty thousand years! Even the Ancient Tree Realm Lord was inferior to Wu Ming.

“Yes,” Xu Jingming nodded with a smile.

“You’ve come at the right time.” Li Miaomiao’s eyes suddenly lit up as she pointed to the high-dimensional weapon in front of her. “Can you make the operation of the high-dimensional power more stable, and can the time flow rate be slowed down even more? My instrument can only slow down the time flow rate to one-tenth.”

“Okay,” Xu Jingming immediately cooperated. “How slow do you need it? One percent time flow rate, one-thousandth time flow rate, or time standstill?”

“Let’s do it in batches to record the experimental results,” Li Miaomiao said.

Xu Jingming, as the most qualified assistant, helped Li Miaomiao complete the high-dimensional power experiment.

After the experiment was over.

Li Miaomiao said in a very good mood, “With your help, things are indeed much smoother. If we had to experiment slowly, it would take us several years to collect all the data. With your help, it was done in half a day.”

“Okay, everyone, dismiss! Seven days off,” Li Miaomiao said with a smile.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

“Goodbye, Teacher.”

The assistants looked at Xu Jingming, and excitedly bid farewell one by one.

“You’re a teacher now,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“I’m a tenth-order Source Lifeform, and I’ve been studying for more than eighty thousand years. I’ve also reached level 105 through hard work. What’s wrong with me being a teacher for them?” Li Miaomiao said with a smile, “I know you look down on me.”

“I wouldn’t dare,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ve noticed that you’re becoming more and more obsessed with studying science.”

“It’s different,” Li Miaomiao exclaimed. “Explaining all the phenomena I see and all the matter from a scientific perspective allows me to clearly understand the world. I’m almost ‘free of doubts’ about many low-dimensional knowledge. But when I study high-dimensional power, I find that there are too many puzzles.”

“Because there are more dimensions,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “Adding one more dimension increases the complexity by a billion times. Countless lives can’t cross over to higher dimensions in their entire lives.”

For low-dimensional lifeforms to become high-dimensional lifeforms, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven, one in billions!

For high-dimensional lifeforms (four-dimensional lifeforms) to become third realm existences (five-dimensional lifeforms), it was also one in billions! Lord Yu Huo had cultivated a large number of high-dimensional lifeforms for a long time, but he couldn’t cultivate a single one.

“So, we must have a pious heart,” Xu Jingming said. “Analyze and understand from more angles. Because the understanding of low-dimensional lifeforms is to ‘low-dimensionally unfold’ high-dimensional knowledge, expressing it in a low-dimensional way. This leads to any kind of high-dimensional power becoming incredibly complex in the understanding of low-dimensional lifeforms.”

Li Miaomiao nodded slightly.

“Jingming, I feel like your personality has changed a bit recently?” Li Miaomiao said curiously. “You used to be relaxed and cheerful, but now you seem more melancholy, as if you have something on your mind.”

“It’s nothing,” Xu Jingming said, shaking his head with a smile.

Over eighty thousand years old, his wife still had more than ten thousand years of lifespan left, which was very long! She didn’t feel any aging! Naturally, she wouldn’t worry.

But when Xu Jingming opened his eyes and saw the timelines, he saw scenes of his loved ones dying, naturally concerning him.

“Huh?” Xu Jingming’s expression suddenly changed as he looked towards a direction.

“What’s wrong?” Li Miaomiao asked in surprise. It was rare for her husband’s expression to change so drastically.

Xu Jingming looked solemnly into the distance. “Our original home universe—the calamity has finally arrived.”

“The calamity has arrived?” Li Miaomiao was stunned.

Their former home—the Fengyi 97th Sector! Because several half-step third realm existences in the sector had glimpsed that a calamity would descend in the future. Moreover, similar scenes could be seen in multiple future branches, proving that the calamity could not be prevented.

That was why they carried out the great migration of the races!

The information that the Human race had purchased from Gu Mo at that time stated that it was safe for ten thousand years, and the probability of a calamity occurring within one hundred thousand years was 1.2 out of ten thousand. The calamity was most likely to occur between 200,000 and 300,000 years.

But as a result, the calamity had descended before even one hundred thousand years had passed.

…

“The calamity has arrived?” The dean of Myriad Star Island, the tower master, the island master, and Chi Meng all sensed it from afar. After all, they were born in their home universe, and the entire Human race originated from their home universe.

When their home universe faced a calamity, their feelings were naturally intense.

“I can feel that our home is facing a calamity, but I can’t see any information,” Chi Meng said.

“I can’t see it either,” the island master said. “Across such a distant sector, perhaps only half-step third realm existences can glimpse it. Jingming should know what happened to our former home.”

…

“What is this power?” Gu Mo was also looking towards his home, and he could vaguely glimpse a vast two-colored power annihilating everything, but it was too far away to see clearly.

*******

Xu Jingming’s Heart Realm territory was within the range of the Fengyi 97th Sector.

Within the Heart Realm territory, Xu Jingming looked at the outside world and clearly saw the scene of the calamity descending.

Vast two types of power intertwined, shattering everything.

One type of power was a fiery red power. When it appeared, it incinerated everything. All kinds of high-dimensional matter, real universes, all kinds of living beings… everything became fuel. Even the high-dimensional space itself became fuel, and it was all burning! The burning scene was getting bigger and bigger. Originally, it was burning from a distant place, but as it spread, the burning range continued to expand, eventually covering the entire sector.

Another type of power was a cyan power! The cyan power was burning the ‘timeline’ where this sector was located. It slowly eroded this ‘timeline.’ In Xu Jingming’s eyes, it seemed to erode very slowly. But once this ‘timeline’ was eroded,

It meant that this point in the timeline of the entire sector was completely eroded and destroyed! Naturally, the entire sector would have no future!

Xu Jingming could glimpse the timelines, but ordinary high-dimensional lifeforms could not. Therefore, in their vision, they felt that cyan power appeared randomly everywhere in the entire sector. Over time, the cyan power became more and more abundant. The red power did not interfere with it at all, and soon… the cyan power covered the entire sector.

Red power and cyan power were clearly different offensive methods.

But in their external manifestations, they seemed to be intertwined, yet they did not interfere with each other. However, they both completely destroyed the entire sector.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

“No—”

“The calamity has come.”

Most high-dimensional lifeforms in the sector did not have the ability to ‘migrate across sectors,’ so they could only desperately welcome the calamity.

Countless races and creatures in some real universes faced total extinction without even realizing it. Because a ‘real universe’ had no resistance against this two-colored power. It was instantly and completely annihilated, and the creatures inside naturally disappeared.

The entire sector was annihilated and completely became a part of the chaotic void, never to exist again.

Fengyi 97th Sector! From then on, it became history!

Although the power of destruction was terrifying, it did not affect the Heart Realm in the slightest.

Within the Heart Realm territory.

Xu Jingming looked at the outside world, looking at the sector that had become a ‘chaotic void.’

“When I traveled through the endless sectors, I passed by a large number of chaotic voids and saw the terrifying dangers within them. Who would have thought that my originally intact home sector… would become a chaotic void like this?” Xu Jingming felt complicated. “I don’t even know how the calamity descended.”

He saw this two-colored power, but where did this two-colored power originate? Why did it descend? He was completely unaware.

…

The Fengyi 97th Sector had become a chaotic void, and the two-colored power spread everywhere. Half-step third realm existences would be instantly annihilated if they dared to enter.

“What, you still won’t admit defeat?”

“I just scratched a little bit of skin!”

“Half of your body has been blown away by me, and you’re still saying you’ve only scratched a little bit of skin? Then let’s continue!”
