Chapter 1 Starry Night

Ji Water Star, night fell.

Xu Jingming sat on the balcony of his residence, looking at the two dim satellites in the night sky. With a sweep of his gaze, he could see the lives of billions of creatures on every part of the planet. "In this world, there is too much helplessness." Xu Jingming was not in a good mood.

During the first wave of plunder by the Prison race during the day, although he killed three Prison race Origin lifeforms, all the humans on the entire life planet were exterminated.

Similar disasters often happened in the border area.

The human race of the universe had also angrily attacked the Prison race territory to retaliate. But…

The Prison race simply didn't care about the lives of beings below the Origin lifeform level. Even without the human race's attacks, the Prison race internally fought each other crazily; from birth, they constantly engaged in internal slaughter. The amount of killing by the human race's attacks was far less than the internal fighting within the Prison race itself. When more died internally, batch after batch of eggs were cultivated.

As long as the core Origin lifeforms and the higher Supreme realm experts of the Prison race were alive, the entire foundation of the race would remain, and it couldn't be shaken at all.

"The Prison race doesn't care about the bottom layer. In fact, even within the human race, there are many Origin lifeforms who don't pay much attention to the lives of planetary beings." Xu Jingming felt a chill in his heart, a sorrow he felt for the countless weak. This kind of sorrow was powerless. He couldn't change it.

Along the border with the Prison race, and along the border with the Void God race, many human planets were affected. When would this "fate" end?

"Perhaps, humanity needs an even more powerful Supreme realm expert! Or even the most powerful Supreme realm expert in the entire universe, to change all of this." Xu Jingming looked at the dark night sky, thinking, "A person's life should have some pursuit after all." "Perhaps my goals can be more ambitious."

A powerful desire grew in Xu Jingming's heart, but he buried it deep inside, silently accumulating strength. "Hmm."

Xu Jingming saw a young man being attacked by two assassins in a corner not far from the street outside his house. "Is that Qiu Qingke, the most talented young man in the Four Seasons Sword Hall?" Xu Jingming knew him; he had encountered this young man on his first day of seclusion on Ji Water Star. With his observational skills, he had naturally discovered the true genius in the Four Seasons Sword Hall.

"He was at the fourth-order limit yesterday, and he broke through to the fifth-order today." "Unfortunately, he still can't beat technology." Xu Jingming watched.

The two assassins came prepared. They shot him from a distance, then quickly grabbed him at close range. In the dark corner of the street.

Qiu Qingke couldn't move after being shot. The two assassins approached, and electronic handcuffs and shackles quickly bound him. "I've completed the contract. I've fought twelve matches for the boss. I'm a free man now." Qiu Qingke stared at the two assassins. He knew them; they were people from the boss's side. "You actually believe the contract?" One of the cold assassins laughed.

"The contract is just a piece of waste paper. Let's go. The boss has other arrangements for you." Another assassin said as he escorted Qiu Qingke. "Don't worry, the boss is very fond of money, especially since you broke through to the fifth-order today. He'll make you completely one of us!" Despair filled Qiu Qingke's eyes.

Ever since he displayed his talent, he had been controlled by dark forces, and it had been difficult to break free. Suddenly—

A man walked over from not far down the street, heading straight for the dark corner. "Hmm?" The two assassins vaguely felt that something was wrong, but they suddenly and silently collapsed. Qiu Qingke was stunned. He saw that the person was the strange uncle who often ate at the nearby restaurant. "Uncle." Qiu Qingke was a little dazed.

"Young man, how did you end up in this situation?" The man reached out, and the electronic handcuffs and shackles snapped open. "Thank you, uncle. These two are members of the Chaluo Group. The Chaluo Group is a large criminal organization. You should leave quickly." Qiu Qingke said anxiously.

"The Chaluo Group?" Xu Jingming pretended to be surprised. "How did a young man like you offend such a powerful criminal organization?" "I can't help it. I was caught and forced to participate in underground matches. What could I do?" Qiu Qingke said helplessly, "The Chaluo Group is watching me. I don't even know where to hide now. I even broke through to the fifth-order today. The fifth-order is a key cultivation target for the official authorities, and they still dare to catch me."

"They're very bold." Xu Jingming nodded. "It's not safe here. Come, I'll take you to a safe place." Qiu Qingke still trusted his savior.

Moreover, he couldn't even struggle free from the electronic shackles after reaching the fifth-order, but this uncle casually broke them. He must have become a Starry Sky lifeform long ago. Soon, Xu Jingming brought Qiu Qingke to his residence. "A safe place?" Qiu Qingke was stunned. "Here?"

"Don't worry, it's very safe here." Xu Jingming poured him a glass of fruit juice. "You said you reached the fifth-order just now. You're very talented to become a fifth-order at such a young age."

"What's the use of talent? Some criminal organizations on Ji Water Star are very rampant, and they all have various umbrellas protecting them." Qiu Qingke shook his head helplessly. "I don't even know what to do tomorrow?" "It's that chaotic?" Xu Jingming nodded.

"It's normal. I heard that Ji Water Star will have a great calamity in about ten thousand years. When the calamity comes, the entire planet will be wiped out." Qiu Qingke said, "Those Starry Sky lifeforms generally have a lifespan of three thousand years, so they have a certain probability of encountering a great calamity. Maybe knowing that they might encounter a calamity in the future makes them even more greedy and crazy." Xu Jingming nodded. "Aren't you afraid of the calamity?"

"We planetary lifeforms have short lifespans. A calamity only happens once every ten thousand years or so. If we encounter it, we'll just consider ourselves unlucky." Qiu Qingke didn't care. "In this world, you can encounter members of criminal organizations just by walking down the street. The probability of being killed by them is much higher than encountering a calamity." Xu Jingming was slightly stunned. This was the perspective of ordinary people.

"Oh, I've become a fifth-order." Qiu Qingke suddenly froze. "I'll soon become a Starry Sky lifeform." "Then are you still afraid of the calamity coming?" Xu Jingming asked.

"What's the use of being afraid? I heard you can't escape it. Every part of the Ansu Star Alliance might encounter a calamity. It's even useless to escape to other star alliances." Qiu Qingke said. Xu Jingming understood very well.

In fact, a total of three cosmic domains, including the Tianmang Cosmic Domain, were the border area between the Prison race and the human race. Starry Sky lifeforms could immigrate, but it was generally difficult to leave the star alliance! As for wanting to leave the cosmic domain? Crossing cosmic domains… the travel expenses were not something a normal Starry Sky lifeform could afford.

"Since you can't escape it, just accept it as fate. When fate comes, accept it calmly." Qiu Qingke grinned. "Just like my parents, they directly left me and went on a cosmic tour. I have to accept it too." "Keep going. Maybe fate will favor those who don't give up." Xu Jingming looked at him.

"Favor?" Qiu Qingke said helplessly, "What troubles me most now is the Chaluo Group. The Chaluo Group is too deeply rooted in Ji Water Star. Sigh."

"Just pick a room on the second floor and get some sleep." Xu Jingming smiled. "When you wake up, everything will be better."

"Thank you, uncle. I really don't dare to go home now." Qiu Qingke was also very tired. He had just experienced a battle to break through to the fifth-order, thought he had completed the contract and could escape the mire, but then he was attacked by assassins and rescued by this uncle. Watching the young man go downstairs to rest.

Xu Jingming whispered, "Many people treat the calamity as fate. If they encounter it, it's just bad luck." "When can we defy fate?" Xu Jingming thought.

"Xiao Jiu, check the planet system of Ji Water Star and understand the Chaluo Group and the major criminal organizations." Xu Jingming instructed.

"It has been checked. The files of all 3 billion people on Ji Water Star have been successfully established." Xiao Jiu immediately responded, "Large criminal groups and key members have been recorded separately. Master can check them at any time." As an Origin lifeform, Xu Jingming could check the files with a thought in the virtual world network.

"Including the leader of the Chaluo Group, there are 79 Starry Sky lifeforms who can be sentenced to death." Xu Jingming said softly, "Xiao Jiu, synchronize the crime records with the Yuanchu Research Institute." "Yes." Xiao Jiu responded.

Immediately afterward, Xu Jingming's thought enveloped the entire Ji Water Star, locking onto 79 Starry Sky lifeforms. The 79 Starry Sky lifeforms silently disintegrated and disappeared.

The evidence of the crimes was not collected by Xu Jingming, but by the No. 9 Yuanchu Armor. The Yuanchu Armor was connected to the headquarters of the Yuanchu Research Institute! Its data had legal credibility.

The Yuanchu Armor, connected to the Yuanchu Research Institute, sentenced them to death according to the laws of the Universe Human Alliance! Xu Jingming, as the owner of the Yuanchu Armor, had the right to execute them.

The leader of the Chaluo Group and many key members, as well as 79 of the most sinful of the hundreds of Starry Sky lifeforms on Ji Water Star, all disappeared that night.

Killing 79 people didn't cause any ripples in Xu Jingming's heart. What he was worried about was the second wave of plunder by the Prison race. On a small spaceship, the Prison race squad leader and his female companion were looking at the distant prosperous planet. "Captain, the time for the second wave of action is approaching." The female companion reminded.

"The action must be quick later." The Prison race squad leader instructed, "First exterminate the humans, then plunder the valuable resources on the planet as quickly as possible. We must retreat within 30 seconds. Cong Luo and the other three members of their team are all dead… It might be bad luck, or the Ansu Star Alliance might be hiding some powerful Origin lifeform." The female companion nodded. "Understood."

"Countdown, 30, 29, 28…" The female companion began the countdown. At this time, the other Prison race Origin lifeforms in their squad were also preparing.

The entire squad, although dispersed, plundered some life planets of the Ansu Star Alliance in an irregular manner. But the timing was unified.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" The female companion and the Prison race squad leader had already left the spaceship, silently collecting the spaceship. They both concealed all aura fluctuations. They had to maintain perfect concealment before taking action. "Let's go."

The Prison race squad leader led his female companion, and with a teleport, they had already entered the atmosphere of the prosperous administrative star. This administrative star was very prosperous, with tens of billions of people living here. The moment the two Prison race Origin lifeforms descended. "Hmm?"

A cold man who was painting on the street suddenly looked up. There were many infatuated women around him, waiting in line for the cold, handsome man to help them paint.

The cold man looked up at the moment when the Prison race squad leader and his female companion teleported in. "Two Prison race, one tenth-order, one ninth-order." The cold man whispered softly. The whisper…

Rang in the ears of the Prison race squad leader and his female companion.

"Not good." The Prison race squad leader's face changed drastically. He looked around in horror. The surrounding spacetime was layered upon layer, as if hundreds or thousands of administrative stars were superimposed together, strangely like a maze. "Mirror Domain! Jian of the human race?" When the Prison race squad leader saw this terrifying Mirror Domain, he guessed who the human expert was.

The one who had the highest contemporary achievement in 'Mirror Domain' among the human race, a terrifying existence ranked in the top twenty of the Yuanchu Research Institute, codenamed Jian. A cold man emerged from the layered spacetime, looking down at the Prison race squad leader and his female companion. "I actually encountered Jian." The Prison race squad leader laughed, "It's my honor to die in Jian's hands." At this moment, he was also sending out a 'crisis' signal, but the signal couldn't be transmitted at all. Once Mr. Jian's Mirror Domain was deployed, it was like an independently existing world. There was no escape. At least for him, the squad leader, although he was also a tenth-order expert, there was a difference between tenth-order and tenth-order. "Did you kill the other three members of my team?" The Prison race squad leader asked.

"There are many human experts!" Mr. Jian looked indifferently at the two Prison race Origin lifeforms. Under his gaze, the layered spacetime continued to collapse and contract. The Prison race squad leader and his female companion inside struggled desperately, roaring and waving their weapons. That power was enough to shatter stars, but under the spacetime's power, they couldn't even shatter one layer of spacetime.

The entire Mirror Domain spacetime collapsed, collapsing faster and faster, until it completely collapsed into a point. At the last moment, the power of spacetime collapsing was extremely heavy, crushing them both. The universe human race mainly defended against the Void God race. They didn't deal much with the Prison race, only dispatching about 5,000 tenth-order Origin lifeforms and about 1 million experienced ninth-order Origin lifeforms, along with a large number of technological weapons.

Dealing with the Prison race was only mobilizing about one-tenth of the human race's Origin lifeform combat power, which was much less than dealing with the Void God race.

The human race's true top combat power, including the universe legends, was mostly dealing with the Void God race.

"The Ansu Star Alliance, including me, has 21 tenth-order Origin lifeforms and 65 ninth-order Origin lifeform teams scattered everywhere to guard it. I heard there is also a mysterious guardian who provides extremely fast support." Mr. Jian was the commander-in-chief of the Ansu Star Alliance's defense. But he didn't know the true identity of the mysterious guardian either.

The Ansu Star Alliance had many defensive forces, each with its own area of responsibility, in order to chase down enemies as quickly as possible. But long-distance travel had errors, and spaceships were ultimately not as fast as 'teleportation,' so the efficiency was still somewhat low. Xu Jingming, who was extremely fast at long-distance travel, was dispatched to some very remote areas that were attacked because others were too slow to get there. "There's a mission."

At the time when Mr. Jian used the Mirror Domain to trap the Prison race squad leader and his female companion, Xu Jingming, who was reading in his study, also received a mission order. Instantly, he disappeared. In less than ten seconds, he had arrived at his destination 370 million light-years away.
