Chapter 1 Virtual World

Virtual world network, personal space training field.

In the distance, a waterfall cascaded down like a white silk ribbon, crashing into the pool. Xu Jingming sat cross-legged in the valley, his mind growing calmer.

"My personal combat power panel shows that both my spear techniques and footwork have broken through to the eighth level, which means my *Tianmang* Evolution Method is also expected to break through to the perfected Starry Sky life form!" Xu Jingming was also quite expectant.

Among the countless human civilizations in the vast universe, many civilizations have never had an eighth-level Starry Sky life form throughout their entire history.

And he, as the one who has achieved the highest level on the evolutionary path of Blue Star Civilization, is about to take this step.

"Let's begin."

Xu Jingming stood up and began practicing the Starry Sky life form chapter of the *Tianmang* Evolution Method.

"Matter and energy combine as one."

"To promote the final and complete energy transformation of the physical body." Xu Jingming practiced each move earnestly, carefully experiencing it. His sufficiently powerful mental strength perfectly controlled every cell in his body, as if each cell had its own will.

Guiding the transformation of the cells.

The transformation of each cell naturally leads to the transformation of the entire body.

"Boom."

After practicing only a dozen or so moves, terrifying flames began to rise from the surface of Xu Jingming's body. This was because the 'heat' of each cell was too high. The heat erupted from all the cells gathered together, forming terrifying high-temperature flames.

"The final transformation of the Starry Sky life form chapter of the *Tianmang* Evolution Method has begun."

"It must go through three transformations before the final energy transformation can be performed."

Xu Jingming practiced with focus.

The fire transformation lasted for more than half an hour. Xu Jingming's spirit was somewhat tired, and the energy within all his cells was incomparably perfectly coordinated and unified, all returning to the same frequency.

The originally scorching high-temperature flames turned into a halo, surrounding Xu Jingming's body.

The halo seemed ordinary, but in reality, it was even more terrifying, even greatly affecting the magnetic field.

Xu Jingming was like a celestial body!

"Whew." As soon as Xu Jingming's mind wavered slightly, the rising energy level quickly decreased. Xu Jingming shook his head slightly and restrained all his power.

"My control over my physical body and energy is still not pure enough." Xu Jingming also understood the problem. He didn't expect that the day his spear technique broke through to the eighth level, his evolution method would also break through.

The evolution method also required a process of familiarization.

…

Blue Star, Xu Jingming's home.

The little chubby girl, Xu Lixing, was sitting in her father's arms, eating snacks and watching the competition on the light screen.

"Fight, fight, beat him." The little chubby girl waved her small fists, her eyes bright, full of fighting spirit.

"This little girl is starting to like watching competitions now." Li Miaomiao said, "Teaching her to read and count, she loses patience in ten minutes. But watching various competitions, various live broadcasts… she never gets tired."

Xu Jingming held his daughter and smiled as he watched this scene, "It's obvious! I go offline to accompany her, and she still wants to watch the competition."

"Xu Lixing." Li Miaomiao called out.

"What?" The little chubby girl glanced at her mother.

"In the entire Blue Star, your dad is the most powerful. The highest-ranking person on the Starry Sky榜 (Starry Sky Rankings) is your dad. Why aren't you watching your dad's competitions, and instead watching these junior group competitions?" Li Miaomiao said.

The little chubby girl clenched her fist, "In the future, I'm going to participate in the junior group competitions, of course, I have to watch the junior group competitions!" She said righteously.

Xu Jingming looked at his daughter and also felt the magic of life.

As she slowly grew up, his daughter was also changing rapidly, with differences every month. She used to be very attached to her father, but now she was starting to like watching competitions.

"I wonder what my daughter will become in the future?" Xu Jingming was also quite expectant.

…

These days, Xu Jingming focused on studying the *Guangxian Pian* (Light Ray Chapter) and trying the *Tianmang* Evolution Method again and again, except for occasionally spending time with his family to relax.

Finally, on the twelfth day after leaving the Demon Subduing World.

"Boom."

The high-temperature flames rising from Xu Jingming's body transformed into a terrifying halo, and then, the terrifying halo completely converged into his body.

Fire transformation, life magnetic field transformation, hibernation transformation.

"Finally, it has reached the final step. Endless energy is completely restrained and gathered, hibernated, and breaks through in one fell swoop!" Xu Jingming felt that all the cells in his body had already erupted to their limit, and the erupted endless energy was completely restrained, causing each cell to reach a certain limit.

His entire body was on the verge of a complete explosion at any moment.

"Energy transformation."

Xu Jingming slowly stretched out his hands upward, and the energy within his body surged along with them. Finally, boom—

Xu Jingming's eyes completely turned into dazzling light!

His entire being, head, torso, hands, and feet, all turned into dazzling light.

A figure condensed from light appeared.

"Physical body energy transformation." The light figure whispered softly, "Success."

When breaking through to the eighth level for the first time, the physical body energy transformation is very easy to cause a big explosion. Controllable 'physical body energy transformation' is very difficult, but Xu Jingming stabilized it.

This was related to his experience with physical body energy transformation in the mysterious place.

Otherwise, he would have had to experience several out-of-control explosions before absorbing the experience and completely mastering it.

"Back then, on the 'neutron star' in the mysterious place, I was practicing spear techniques while undergoing physical body energy transformation." The light figure revealed a smile, "It's just that my mental strength has always been insufficient, and I couldn't rely on my own energy transformation. Today, I finally did it."

"There's no rush, I'll try a few more times in the virtual world before breaking through in reality."

After all, if the energy transformation fails in reality and explodes completely, it would be a big trouble.

******

Xu Jingming was very patient. After the evolution method breakthrough was successful in the virtual world, he tried it many more times. After succeeding in succession, he patiently waited three more days, making himself more familiar with the evolution method and more confident.

In reality, at home, in the training room.

"Let's start the breakthrough." Xu Jingming was very formal, closing the door of the training room and prohibiting anyone from disturbing him.

Just like in the virtual world, the same evolution method was practiced.

Whew.

High-temperature flames rose from his entire body. Xu Jingming continued to practice, and the high-temperature flames transformed into a halo. Then, he continued to practice, and the halo converged and merged into his body.

"Hibernation transformation."

Xu Jingming slowly stretched out his hands upward.

Boom!

Xu Jingming became dazzling in an instant, becoming a dazzling light figure.

The light figure stood in the training room, observing the surroundings.

"Congratulations, Master, you have successfully broken through to the eighth-level Starry Sky life form." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice sounded.

"Thank you." The light figure smiled slightly.

"After joining the Yuan Chu Research Institute for a year, I have finally become an eighth-level Starry Sky life form." All the light was restrained, and he returned from the energy transformation state to the physical body state, turning into Xu Jingming's original appearance.

"Master's cultivation speed is still quite fast." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice said.

"With the experience in the mysterious place, the *Guangxian Pian* (Light Ray Chapter) inheritance, the Ice Flower Spirit Liquid, and the mental demon refinement in the Demon Subduing World… I was able to break through to the eighth level in a year," Xu Jingming said with emotion.

"If I hadn't gone to the mysterious place and hadn't been cultivated, I'm afraid it would have taken hundreds of years to reach the eighth level," Xu Jingming thought.

The experience in the mysterious place itself was a kind of cultivation.

Not to mention the *Guangxian Pian* (Light Ray Chapter), this was Xu Jingming's largest database of evolutionary paths, guiding Xu Jingming towards the highest realm. Of course, there were also many origin lifeforms who had obtained the core chapter of the *Yuan Chu Xing Caixiang* (Yuan Chu Star Conjecture), but wanting to become the highest realm? It was extremely difficult.

All kinds of opportunities allowed Xu Jingming to progress rapidly.

"It is precisely because you, Master, are excellent enough that you can get the resources poured into you." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice said, "With Master's talent, even without the mysterious place, you would gradually shine with time and would also receive the resources poured into you. A genius… will eventually shine."

Xu Jingming smiled, "You speak so nicely."

"I'm telling the truth." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice said.

"Send me the monitored information of the entire Blue Star." Xu Jingming said.

"Okay, Master." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice responded.

Immediately, a large amount of information was transmitted over.

Xu Jingming felt very relaxed. After reaching the eighth-level Starry Sky life form, his brain's operational ability was much stronger than before. The monitored information of the entire Blue Star was vast and immense, but Xu Jingming was able to completely control it in an instant.

Among the monitored information…

There were seven cosmic tourists!

In the countless civilizations of the universe, there were naturally all kinds of people with different pursuits. Some people spend their whole lives observing newly emerging civilizations. The Blue Star civilization had just integrated into the cosmic family, and cosmic tourists had come.

Being able to easily travel in the vast universe requires an extraordinary background.

For example, these seven cosmic tourists, one came from a cosmic primary civilization, five came from cosmic intermediate civilizations, and one tourist even came from a cosmic advanced civilization!

The Blue Star civilization specially sent people to serve them all the way, fearing offending them. Because once a conflict occurs, the light one is a civilized diplomatic dispute, and the heavy one is a disaster.

"Fortunately, these cosmic tourists don't have any malice." Xu Jingming thought.

"Under the deliberate infiltration of the Black Moon civilization, the people of Blue Star are learning more and more about the Black Moon civilization." Xu Jingming's mood was also a bit complicated, "The more they understand, the more the people of Blue Star feel that the Black Moon civilization is too powerful."

The Black Moon civilization was many times more powerful than the Blue Star civilization.

Many Blue Star people knelt down.

Taking the initiative to please!

Willing to serve them! To earn the salary issued by the Black Moon civilization.

"I can only watch all of this continue." Xu Jingming had no choice. According to the rules of the Yuan Chu Research Institute, and for the future of his hometown civilization, he had to keep it completely secret.

It was only when he became a ninth-level origin lifeform that it would be made public.

"These are just some small troubles, just some storms in the process of the rise of the Blue Star civilization." Xu Jingming said softly, "Close the monitored information transmission."

"Yes." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice immediately interrupted the transmission.

Xu Jingming disappeared silently from the training room, appearing out of thin air in the high altitude dozens of miles away.

With the concealment and hiding of the Yuan Chu Battle Suit, there was no need to worry about being exposed.

"Let's try the taste of flying with my own strength." Xu Jingming no longer used the Yuan Chu Battle Suit, but relied on his own energy.

Boom!

In an instant, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared over Bin Hai City.

Flying over the ocean, he saw the Sakura Country.

After flying over the Sakura Country, he flew over an extremely vast ocean and finally saw another continent.

Feeling that he had flown to the other side of the planet, Xu Jingming finally stopped, and below him was the Pampas Republic.

"Master, your average speed is 203 times the speed of sound." The Yuan Chu Battle Suit's intelligent voice said.

"Just entering the eighth level, I have a speed of 200 times the speed of sound." Xu Jingming soared into the sky and quickly flew into outer space, hovering and looking at the endless starry sky, "With physical body energy transformation, as long as I am willing, a full-strength blow is enough to destroy most of a planet. A few more shots and I can exterminate the surface of a planet."

"But such strength is still not worth mentioning in the face of cosmic civilization technology." Xu Jingming was wearing the Yuan Chu Battle Suit.

Relying on the Yuan Chu Battle Suit, he could unleash the destructive power of the basic level of a ninth-level origin lifeform.

He knew very well how terrible this destructive power was.

"The power of the Yuan Chu Battle Suit, a slap can destroy the Black Moon civilization's garrison. This is just the most basic destructive power of an origin lifeform." Xu Jingming stood in the outer space of Blue Star, looking at the endless starry sky, "I really look forward to the day I become an origin lifeform."

"And before that, I must continue to hide and disguise."

"Disguise myself as a seventh-level Starry Sky lifeform."

No one on the entire Blue Star, including his family, would know that he had broken through to the eighth level! With the disguise of the Yuan Chu Battle Suit, everyone, including the Black Moon civilization, would think that he was only a seventh-level Starry Sky lifeform.

"Becoming the eighth level is just the beginning." Xu Jingming looked at the most dazzling sun in the endless starry sky.
