Chapter 1 Personal Space

Tiya Nuo emerged from the void, smiling as he said, "Xu Jingming, you haven't contacted me in over a hundred years... huh?"

Looking at the person before him, Tiya Nuo's heart trembled.

Although Xu Jingming's appearance hadn't changed, he was wearing a pitch-black robe, and even in the virtual world, the intangible aura made Tiya Nuo's heart palpitate! In these hundreds of years, Tiya Nuo had seen all sorts of people.

Bloodthirsty star pirates, great slave owners, and some beings with twisted minds among the Origin Lives.

But none of them were as terrifying as Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming's aura was so dark and insane, as if it wanted to drown all reason.

"Xu Jingming, what's wrong with you?" Tiya Nuo asked with some concern, "Is it because of the high-dimensional pollution?"

He was too familiar with Xu Jingming.

Because he was once responsible for guarding the weak, newly advanced civilization of Blue Star, he hadn't even been born when Tiya Nuo first arrived!

Therefore, Tiya Nuo was very clear about every stage of Xu Jingming's growth, from his birth, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and youth in his monitoring records. He was familiar with every step of Xu Jingming's growth.

Xu Jingming entered the Blood Rain World and passed the screening in the mysterious place, eventually entering the Yuanchu Research Institute. Tiya Nuo's guidance was also behind this.

In the past hundred years or so, Xu Jingming had temporarily cut off contact with his friends due to high-dimensional pollution. Before that, Xu Jingming and Tiya Nuo had always kept in touch.

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded with a smile. "The influence of high-dimensional pollution is very thorough."

"Have you sought help from the Supreme Realm?" Tiya Nuo asked, "Or, should I ask my father?"

"The Dean and the other two have all tried," Xu Jingming shook his head. "There's no way."

"That..." Tiya Nuo also felt a headache.

Xu Jingming smiled, "Don't worry about me. High-dimensional pollution seems terrible, but as long as you master this kind of high-dimensional power, there's nothing to worry about."

"You definitely know more about the path of evolution than I do," Tiya Nuo nodded. "If there's anything you need my help with, just say it."

"Yes."

Xu Jingming smiled, "I just wanted to chat with you this time. How have you been lately?"

"Me?" Tiya Nuo laughed. "Still the same old temper. I have to meddle in things I can't stand, and I'll take action when I need to. So, I've gotten into a lot of trouble! Alas, although I knew when I was studying that the competition among the countless civilizations of the universe's human race was brutal, and there was a lot of darkness within, I still can't help myself after experiencing it!"

Xu Jingming nodded, "There are countless humans in the universe's human race. There are excellent talents, and naturally, there are also scumbags."

"Yes, scumbags. That's why I, the cleaner, need to clean up this garbage," Tiya Nuo said with a cold look in his eyes, then smiled. "A few times I caused relatively big troubles, reaching my father! Although my father has criticized me, he didn't stop me. Haha."

Tiya Nuo raised his glass. "I understand what my father means. Not stopping me means he agrees with what I'm doing."

Xu Jingming nodded.

Vice Dean Chi Meng, as the strongest cosmic legend of the universe's human race alliance, is in charge of the Yuanchu Research Institute! He also holds a high position in the headquarters of the Universe Human Alliance. Therefore, if Tiya Nuo makes a big mistake that reaches the highest level, Chi Meng is responsible for handling it. "However, you also need to be careful," Xu Jingming said. "Although Vice Dean Chi Meng is powerful, he doesn't have absolute power in the Universe Human Alliance. You still need to consider the consequences of your actions."

"If the consequences are within my tolerance range, I can take action."

"If it exceeds your tolerance range... if you really want to do it, you can come to me," Xu Jingming grinned. "I'm polluted by high dimensions, so it's understandable if I'm occasionally crazy."

Tiya Nuo stared. "Xu Jingming, you've changed."

"People always change," Xu Jingming said.

Tiya Nuo smiled, but he felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

To punish Tiya Nuo, the higher-ups of the Universe Human Alliance could decide through discussion.

But to punish Xu Jingming, it would require the nod of approval from the Dean and his peers! The simultaneous descent of the three Supreme Realms to treat Xu Jingming represented their attitude.

"If Xu Jingming controls the extent of his 'madness', I'm afraid it will be difficult to restrain him even within the Universe Human Alliance. And unless it's serious to a certain extent, the Universe Human Alliance won't bother the three Supreme Realms," Tiya Nuo knew this very well.

The three Supreme Realms were unwilling to be disturbed.

Even the descent of their consciousness avatars was rare!

Therefore, Xu Jingming wouldn't be able to reach the three Supreme Realms unless he went crazy to a certain extent!

Last time, Secretary-General Hei Tian warned Xu Jingming because he was worried that Xu Jingming would cause the "Shadow of the Void Abyss" to descend into reality, extinguishing all life within a dozen light-years. Such large-scale slaughter, if done repeatedly, would mean that Xu Jingming was completely out of control and would certainly be intolerable.

After drinking and chatting with Xu Jingming, Tiya Nuo left. After he left, he returned to his personal space.

"Father," Tiya Nuo directly contacted his father, Chi Meng.

The corpulent Chi Meng looked at his son with a smile. Although his son often caused trouble and made messes these years, Chi Meng was very satisfied and even tacitly approved of his son's behavior! Because he felt that there was indeed some garbage within the Universe Human Race that needed to be cleaned up, but from a legal perspective, there were no loopholes. His son's barbaric behavior was more effective.

He tacitly approved.

Some large forces in the universe also understood that Chi Meng was tacitly approving of his son's behavior.

"I saw Xu Jingming," Tiya Nuo said.

"You met him?" Chi Meng frowned slightly.

"It was a meeting in the virtual world," Tiya Nuo immediately added.

Chi Meng relaxed.

Polluted by the third-realm high-dimensional power, Chi Meng couldn't completely trust Xu Jingming.

"I felt that he has changed a lot," Tiya Nuo said worriedly. "Although he looks very clear-headed and still treats me as a friend, he said... that if there's trouble I can't solve, he can help me by being occasionally crazy."

"I'm very worried about his condition," Tiya Nuo said worriedly. "I watched him grow up. His temperament is very good, but the current him..."

"Don't worry."

Chi Meng smiled and said, "Being able to know how to use 'occasional madness' to do things shows that he is very calm and rational."

"Very calm? Very rational?" Tiya Nuo was puzzled.

"He's even using madness, of course, he's calm," Chi Meng said. "Don't worry, the Yuanchu Research Institute, even the Space-Time Isolated Island and the Eternal Academy, all three of us have been watching Xu Jingming. At least for now, his condition is quite good."

"Quite good?" Tiya Nuo blinked. "Is that what you call quite good? I really don't understand you big shots' thinking."

"It's much better than we expected. In just over a hundred years, he has already entered the door in terms of high-dimensional pollution power," Chi Meng said. "However, you must never meet him in reality, because in the days to come, he will become even more dangerous."

"More dangerous?" Tiya Nuo was shocked. Chi Meng nodded slightly.

After all, he was in charge of the entire Yuanchu Research Institute, and Secretary-General Hei Tian would tell him everything he knew, allowing him to understand that Xu Jingming was conducting the "Mimicry Method," and the later stages of the Mimicry Method were becoming increasingly dangerous.

"Is there any way to help him?" Tiya Nuo asked.

"Being polluted by high dimensions means he has to walk out on his own. No one can help," Chi Meng said. "In short, never meet in reality."

Tiya Nuo nodded slightly. He was worried about his friend but was powerless to do anything.

There were many things he had been powerless to do over the years. Just like in the countless civilizations of the Universe Human Alliance, he could walk sideways, but there were also many things he couldn't stand, and he couldn't change them.

......

A restaurant in the Subduing Demons World. Xu Jingming was drinking alone.

"Outside of Blue Star, there are very few people who have a profound influence on me," Xu Jingming looked out the window. "Tiya Nuo is one, and next is Uncle Qi."

That year, Xu Jingming was very young, only 32 years old.

He chose to temper his mind and will and came to the Subduing Demons World! Here, he met Wu Qi.

In the following ten years, Xu Jingming and Uncle Qi, master and servant, spent day and night together. The depth of emotion formed over ten years of time spent together could be considered akin to family.

Even with his parents and wife, how long had Xu Jingming spent day and night together?

"Hu."

A figure appeared from the void, a man in a gray robe, smiling as he sat opposite Xu Jingming. "Brother Jingming."

"Brother Ke Yu," Xu Jingming nodded. "Thank you for your trouble all these years."

"Brother Jingming, you asked me to take care of Wu Qi, so I naturally have to put some thought into it," the gray-robed man said with a smile. "In these nearly five hundred years, Wu Qi has been quite smooth. Only in recent years has he encountered some trouble. I couldn't hold it back, so I just went along with it and demoted them to a remote prison planet, responsible for guarding the planet's prison."

"I said that even if Uncle Qi has ups and downs and encounters some things, it's nothing serious. As long as you help me protect him at a critical moment, that's enough," Xu Jingming said.

One couldn't ask too much when asking for help.

Ups and downs were normal in a person's life! Xu Jingming only needed Brother Ke Yu to help ensure that Uncle Qi didn't fall completely.

"I'm ashamed," Ke Yu shook his head.

"Brother Ke Yu, with your status, and you're the head of the Subduing Demons Group. Are there still things within the Subduing Demons Group that you can't hold back?" Xu Jingming asked curiously.

Ke Yu shook his head. "Brother Jingming, I'm just a ninth-order Origin Life. Although I'm responsible for managing the Subduing Demons Group, the trouble Wu Qi encountered was beyond the jurisdiction of the Subduing Demons Group. According to the Qingfang Civilization's intentions, many people were to be executed. Even Wu Qi, who was only involved, was originally going to be imprisoned! I stepped in and had the Qingfang Civilization ultimately spare them, giving them a small punishment. Wu Qi still needs to be demoted."

"Uncle Qi cultivated to the eighth-order Starry Sky Life, and he was just involved and was going to be imprisoned?" Xu Jingming asked in confusion. "What did he get into?"

"Wu Qi is still very outstanding. He's impeccable in his conduct and actions," Ke Yu said. "I also admire him very much. Strictly speaking, he was implicated this time."

Xu Jingming listened.

He wanted to understand Uncle Qi's affairs before meeting him.
