Chapter 190 Observer Space

In the Observation Space, the territories of the 352 forces in the Hunter Cosmos Domain were separated by invisible barriers. The observers of neighboring forces could, at most, exchange a few verbal jabs, unable to break through the barriers to take action.

Observer Chang was still observing Xu Jingming when a short, fat man from another force deliberately sneered, "Observer Chang, it seems that your Wu Hook Star Alliance hasn't had anyone reach the fifth planet in the last three batches. Maybe this newcomer has a chance."

"Look at how smug you are," the thin man in black chuckled.

"Can't help it. Who told us that in the last three batches of explorers, the Nine Feathers Star Alliance had two people reach the fifth planet!" the short, fat man said triumphantly.

The thin man said calmly, "In the last three batches of approximately 180,000 explorers, only a little over two hundred have reached the fifth planet. It's normal that the Wu Hook Star Alliance hasn't had anyone. After all, there are 185 star alliances in the entire Hunter Cosmos City."

"Quick, look!"

The short, fat man's eyes widened. "That genius from our Nine Feathers Star Alliance has already endured the 'neutron star' test on the fifth planet and entered the sixth planet! Wow! Being able to enter the sixth planet means there's no problem reaching the limit of the eighth-order in terms of talent."

"The sixth planet!"

"Another one entering the sixth planet."

The other forces also noticed the genius from the Nine Feathers Star Alliance.

The thin man watched in silence. Such talents were sought after by at least regional-level forces.

"The Wu Hook Star Alliance hasn't had anyone reach the fifth planet in the last three consecutive batches," the thin man thought, feeling displeased.

"Haha," the short, fat man laughed. "Observer Chang, don't be anxious or flustered. Maybe this newcomer on the fourth planet, carrying a gun satchel, is a peerless genius who can directly reach the seventh planet."

Observer Chang glared at the short, fat man.

He endured the other party's sarcastic remarks! He couldn't hit the other party in the Observation Space, so he could only endure their verbal attacks.

He wasn't very good at verbal warfare.

Xu Jingming learned from Tiana that there was an Observation Space in the dark, where the seventeen top forces and the 352 forces of the Hunter Cosmos City were secretly observing. But Xu Jingming didn't pay much attention.

He was just a young man from Blue Star Civilization who had just reached the seventh-order Star Sky lifeform. His minimum goal was to step onto the fifth planet; he didn't want to think too much about anything else.

"The final obstacle to joining a regional-level force," Xu Jingming said, observing the planet before him.

The fourth planet was a living planet.

The lush forest stretched as far as the eye could see, with no signs of intelligent life.

"Let's see what the test on the fourth planet is," Xu Jingming said, standing at the starting point and opening his personal panel to view the details of the test.

Fourth Planet: On this living planet, there are ten bizarre places, also known as 'Places of Depravity'.

Please go to the ten Places of Depravity and retrieve the tokens.

Once you have collected ten tokens, you can pass through a 'micro wormhole' to the fifth planet.

"Places of Depravity, tokens?" Xu Jingming frowned slightly. "Explorers are still prohibited from touching or interfering with each other, so the tokens can only be found by oneself, and cannot be snatched."

Yes.

From the first planet onwards, these cosmos citizens were prohibited from touching each other. Once touched, the one who initiated the touch would be judged as a violation and kicked back to the 'starting point' to start again.

"Places of Depravity?"

Xu Jingming looked at the markings on the map. "They are scattered in different places on this planet. I'll go to the nearest one first."

Changing into close-fitting soft armor and carrying his gun satchel, Xu Jingming traveled light and walked through the forest, heading towards the first Place of Depravity.

After examining the map, Xu Jingming had already mapped out the shortest route, which would save him a lot of unnecessary detours.

"The first Place of Depravity is just ahead," Xu Jingming saw a large lake ahead. This lake in the forest was estimated to be ten miles in diameter, surrounded by various flowers and plants, with a thin mist spreading around the lake.

As soon as Xu Jingming stepped into the misty area, he felt the scene before him change.

It transformed into a magnificent palace, with many beautiful women surrounding him and serving him.

"I am the king of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom, this is my palace?" A flood of heavy memories poured into him. Xu Jingming even felt like he was the king of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom, with the beauties in the palace trying to please him.

"No, I am Xu Jingming. I'm here in the Place of Depravity to find the token," Xu Jingming forcibly shook off the heavy memories.

Although he barely maintained clarity, the memories of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom's king continued to envelop him. The memories contained all sorts of sensual events, full of enjoyment! And now, those beauties from his memories were right before his eyes.

"So good at enjoying?" Xu Jingming was also stimulated by the sensual memories, and a large amount of memory began to merge into him.

"If I truly fall into depravity, what would Qin Wei think?" Xu Jingming shuddered, and the appearance of his daughter's angry face appeared in his mind. Xu Jingming tried his best to resist the Flowing Cloud Kingdom king's memories that were constantly covering him. Xu Jingming got up and quickly looked for the token.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, why aren't you paying attention to me?" One beauty after another chased after Xu Jingming.

While resisting the increasingly detailed memories of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom king, Xu Jingming searched for the token.

He discovered that he couldn't leave the palace.

"It must be within the palace grounds," Xu Jingming searched the palace.

As time passed, it became increasingly difficult to resist the memories. Xu Jingming felt that even his own memories as 'Xu Jingming' were beginning to blur and mix.

"I am Xu Jingming, this is the Place of Depravity, it's all fake, fake," Xu Jingming said. After searching for more than an hour, he finally found the token in the arms of a beauty.

The moment he obtained the token.

The palace dissipated!

Xu Jingming found himself standing in the forest, with the lake in front of him, surrounded by mist.

Xu Jingming felt as if he had woken up from a dream. The everything about the Flowing Cloud Kingdom's king became blurred, like a dream experience.

"If I had relaxed even slightly just now, the memories of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom's king would have completely integrated into my memories, and I wouldn't have remembered my identity," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "And it's so tempting! Some explorers might think it's okay to give it a try. Even if they fail once, they can start over."

"If you have a fluke mentality, I am afraid it will be difficult to collect ten tokens," Xu Jingming thought.

Xu Jingming walked hundreds of miles again and came to the next place, which was a large mine with a red mist spreading around it.

"I have to go in to find the token," Xu Jingming walked towards the red mist.

Buzz.

As soon as he entered, the scene before him changed.

Xu Jingming was on the highest floor of a towering building, able to clearly see small cosmic spaceships piercing through the void and descending on the planet.

"Chairman, the Golden Silk Group's dividends, totaling 350 billion cosmos currency, have all been credited to the account."

"Chairman, the family's annual allowance, totaling 5 trillion cosmos currency, has also been credited to the account."

"Chairman, the Flowing Sheng Prince of the Qu Wu Civilization has returned the fifth installment of the debt, which is 200 billion cosmos currency."

"Chairman—"

One illusory figure after another stood before him, reporting respectfully.

Xu Jingming sat there, and extremely dazzling and vast memories enveloped his mind.

"I am Kong Jiuyu, the 97th child of 'Kong King', one of the twelve封王 (Feng Wang - Enfeoffed Kings) of the Ancient River Civilization, one of the three advanced civilizations in the cosmos," Xu Jingming was shocked when he came into contact with these vast memories.

The wealth that Kong Jiuyu possessed, the annual cash flow, was unbelievably enormous.

"Kong Jiuyu, isn't that the founder of the legendary Nine Feathers Civilization? Even the entire Nine Feathers Star Alliance is named after him?" Xu Jingming was stunned. At the moment of being stunned, a large amount of memory covered him.

His own memory quickly blurred, and Kong Jiuyu's memory completely covered it.

The scene dissipated.

Xu Jingming appeared again in front of the mine, looking at the red mist in front of him. He had failed and was kicked out of the Place of Depravity.

"I was shocked as soon as I came into contact with that memory. At the moment of being shocked, that vast memory covered my own memory? I failed to maintain my self, and the test failed," Xu Jingming understood.

"The content of the memory I came into contact with should have been when Kong Jiuyu was young. After all, later on, he established the Nine Feathers Civilization, a cosmos intermediate civilization, and even named the entire star alliance after him!" Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Kong Jiuyu's father was 'Kong King', one of the twelve Feng Wang of the Ancient River Civilization, an advanced civilization in the cosmos.

Kong Jiuyu was born noble!

But his talent for the path of evolution was not high, but his talent in business was unbelievable. He even spent his own money to transform himself into a 'Source Lifeform' with external force. Kong Jiuyu was also the most accomplished of Kong King's many children.

"Is this the legendary figure in the Cosmos Human Alliance who controls a huge amount of wealth?" Xu Jingming exclaimed. Even a little bit that the other party leaked could overwhelm Blue Star Civilization.

Kong Jiuyu's identity as a prince only gave him start-up capital.

After all, even Kong King himself could not build a cosmos intermediate civilization from scratch.

A cosmos intermediate civilization must first have a tenth-order expert, and there are various requirements for the accumulation of science and technology and military affairs, so a large number of scholars are needed. The breadth of the territory, the number of civilized people, and all aspects are very demanding.

"If I could truly experience Kong Jiuyu's detailed memory and perceive his thoughts, what would it matter if I沉沦 (chen lun - sink/fall) ten or a hundred times?" Xu Jingming thought to himself. "Unfortunately, in the Place of Depravity, what I just came into contact with was a mere superficiality, and I couldn't touch the essence of his thinking."

What he came into contact with was just the information on Kong Jiuyu's powerful business map when he was young.

An individual's thoughts are difficult to copy.

The spiritual imprints left by the legends of the cosmos are only a few scenes they have experienced. "Try again, this time I have to resist."

Xu Jingming walked towards the mine again.

Beauty, money, power, individual power, food, compassion, hatred, anger...

The ten Places of Depravity either targeted personal pursuits, or desires, or even infected and resonated with strong emotions. In short, as long as you were slightly affected, you would sink and the test would fail.

On June 1st, Xu Jingming had already reached the eighth Place of Depravity, which was anger.

All kinds of situations that arouse anger.

How could Xu Jingming not be angry at the misery of the world? He couldn't suppress his anger, but he would sink if he was affected by emotions.

"Let's go offline first."

Xu Jingming failed three times in a row and went offline first. "I have to see Tiana off today."

***

On June 1, 2083, a cosmos spaceship departed from Blue Star and arrived at Mars.

Through the ship's wall, Xu Jingming could see the outside scene. He saw Tiana sitting on the hull of the spaceship in the distance. At this moment, Tiana seemed a little lonely, silently watching the stars.

The spaceship approached, the hatch opened, and a group of senior officials from Blue Star Civilization and Xu Jingming flew out.

"Envoy," everyone saluted.

"Blue Star Civilization's protection period has officially ended," Tiana said, sitting on the hull of his spaceship. He glanced at the people of Blue Star Civilization and said, "Today, I will also leave Blue Star Civilization and return to the Cosmos Human Alliance headquarters."

"Thank you, Envoy, for your protection over the years. Our Blue Star Civilization will never forget it," Secretary-General Angus said.

Tiana looked at these people and observed them for a few seconds before saying, "Xu Jingming, chat with me. The rest of you can go back to the spaceship first."

The senior officials of Blue Star looked at each other, saluted immediately, and returned to the spaceship one by one.

Xu Jingming then flew to Tiana's side.

"How is the exploration of the Mysterious Land going?" Tiana asked with a smile.

"On the fourth planet," Xu Jingming said. "Maybe I can enter the fifth planet."

"That's very good."

Tiana said, "However, you still have to work hard to enter the seventh planet, and even comprehend the opportunity to enter the path, and join the seventeen top forces by taking advantage of this! Because with the cultivation of the seventeen top forces, your hope of becoming a Source Lifeform will be greater."

Xu Jingming nodded.

He also longed to become a Source Lifeform! That would change the fate of the entire Blue Star Civilization.

"Without becoming a Source Lifeform, one will have to struggle in the circle of low-level civilizations among the humans of the cosmos for the rest of their life," Tiana said. "Only by reaching a higher level of life can you, who came from Blue Star Civilization, hope to step into the circle of the true core group of humans in the cosmos. Only then will you and I have the opportunity to help each other in the future."

Once Tiana decided to start his own business, with his resources, he would be at the top from the start.

"The core group of humans in the cosmos?" Xu Jingming sighed, "It's really far away from me, but I will work hard."

Tiana nodded.

"If you personally encounter big trouble, remember to contact me," Tiana said. "After all, we are friends."

Xu Jingming nodded, "Yes."

He understood what Tiana meant. After the protection period, Blue Star Civilization, as a newly promoted civilization, would encounter troubles one after another. This was normal, and almost every new civilization had gone through it.

Tiana was unwilling to be an umbrella for civilization.

But he was willing to help Xu Jingming personally.

"You just 'yes'?" Tiana was speechless.

Xu Jingming nodded, "We are friends."

"Haha," Tiana got up, "I'm leaving."

Xu Jingming also flew aside.

"Next time we meet in reality, you must become a Source Lifeform," Tiana said, turning his head. Xu Jingming nodded, and Tiana entered the ship.

The cosmos spaceship rippled through space, and then disappeared out of thin air, already leaving the Wu Hook Star Alliance range! Xu Jingming stood in the sky above Mars, silently watching the starry sky before him.
