Abyss Icefield, riverside.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged, comprehending the *Xinjie Spear: Hundred Scrolls*. As a large amount of comprehension continuously integrated into his heart, it finally triggered a qualitative change. Xu Jingming suddenly understood, completely grasping the essence of the power he controlled, and also the essence of the timeline.

"Time and space are merely the most basic frameworks." Xu Jingming’s mind and consciousness rapidly strengthened after breaking through the bottleneck.

His past mind and consciousness were like loose soil. At this moment, this loose soil rapidly combined, undergoing an internal transformation, forming an indestructible and incomparably sharp spear.

His mind and consciousness were strengthened countless billions of times.

A half-step third realm existence and a third realm existence were simply not life forms of the same dimension. The gap between them could not be bridged by numbers.

"Buzz—"

After Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness drastically strengthened, the range of his perception also widened. Breaking through the limitations of space-time distance, it spread wider and wider. Xu Jingming also discovered other third realm existences.

These third realm existences were all incomparably powerful. Their power naturally influenced their surroundings, forming territories. Within their territories, their words were law, and they could establish rules.

Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness had to avoid these third realm territories until… they completely covered the entire space-time!

"This is the space-time we live in?"

For the first time, Xu Jingming clearly sensed the complete space-time.

A complete space-time was unimaginably vast. A half-step third realm existence could not traverse the entire space-time even in a lifetime.

"Outside our space-time, there are a large number of parallel space-times." After Xu Jingming's mental power covered the entire space-time, he clearly sensed that there were other parallel space-times.

What were parallel space-times?

Every space-time was very similar! Even the beings within had many similarities. It was like a mirror reflecting countless parallel space-times.

"When a being is born, under the reflection, countless parallel space-times have similar beings." Xu Jingming understood, "Their growth experiences may be different, their talents different, and their achievements different. But the essence of their lives… originates from the same starting point."

"Only by reaching the third realm can the essential power of a being be reunified."

With a single thought from Xu Jingming.

He was like the largest lodestone, constantly attracting the essential life force of countless parallel space-times. Xu Jingming absorbed this bit by bit. When he completely absorbed it, Xu Jingming had a sense of completeness, a sense of transcendence.

He transcended the timeline, completely consolidating all his power.

While absorbing those essential life forces, a large amount of memory also merged into Xu Jingming. These were the experiences of him in parallel space-times.

"The path of evolution is not only about competing with other powerhouses but also with countless parallel space-time versions of oneself."

"Of the countless parallel space-time versions of oneself, only one can reach the third realm."

After Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness drastically strengthened, although he absorbed a large amount of essential life force and memory, he could still bear it. It was like experiencing one life after another, clearly understanding everything they had experienced.

"Although they originate from the same source as me, their births are different, their growth experiences are different, and their memories are different. They are, in fact, different beings."

Xu Jingming confirmed this after absorbing the memories.

"When ordinary beings die, their essential life force will merge into another version of themselves in other parallel space-times. When their mind and consciousness collide, the strong will seize the body and be reborn?" Xu Jingming realized.

The competition among countless parallel space-time versions of oneself was very cruel.

"So when I was weak, if someone killed me, my essential life force would naturally merge into another version of myself in other parallel space-times. As long as I am stronger, I can seize their body." Xu Jingming marveled.

Essential life force would not be lost.

When any life below the third realm died, their essential life force would be attracted by versions of themselves in other space-times!

Only when the essential life forces of countless space-times were completely unified would true life be complete.

"I have become a third realm existence! I have also become the ultimate victor." Xu Jingming’s mood was very complex. He had not expected that such a competition was hidden in countless space-times. Fortunately, he became a third realm existence in his three hundred thousandth year; he grew fast enough!

"Rumble~~~"

After Xu Jingming’s essential life force was complete and his mind underwent a qualitative change, he naturally began to absorb the endless energy in the Heart Realm, beginning to perfect his own lifeform.

The mind relied on the physical body.

How a third realm existence’s physical body was constructed depended on their own path. But without a doubt, the energy required to be consumed was extremely vast. At the same time, Xu Jingming could only focus all his energy on condensing one physical body.

"The physical body is like a Mind Spear." Xu Jingming’s physical body was like a mental weapon; the *Xinjie Spear: Hundred Scrolls* was a heritage that trained oneself on different levels.

The process of condensing the physical body took a full ten years; the energy required was simply too vast.

When it was completely successful, Xu Jingming, who was sitting cross-legged on the Abyss Icefield, opened his eyes. At this moment, his body had already undergone a qualitative change. When restrained, he was like a weapon, with no power leaking out.

But if he only released a little power, it would make the space-time tremble.

"This is the power of the third realm." Xu Jingming stood up; he had become a third realm existence through the Mind Weapon lineage! Strictly speaking, it was based on the *Xinjie Spear: Hundred Scrolls* heritage.

Unlike other third realm existences, who still needed to explore their own paths to slowly improve, he had a clear path, the *Xinjie Spear: Hundred Scrolls*, but he also needed to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

"My lifeform has completely jumped out of the timeline; it is difficult to record my true life imprint in space-time." Xu Jingming thought.

"Regardless of the past, present, or future, other beings cannot窥探my traces. Likewise, if I die… I cannot find my imprint in the River of Time and cannot revive me."

Xu Jingming understood this.

Third realm existences could revive other high-dimensional lifeforms.

But if a third realm existence died, it would be impossible to revive them unless an Ultimate existence took action.

Wanting an Ultimate existence to take action? Obviously, it was very difficult.

"Huff."

With a step, Xu Jingming left the abyss and arrived at the Nanting 3609 domain.

Looking at this familiar domain, Xu Jingming felt his own influence on the domain.

"The feeling wasn't as strong in the abyss. Coming to this domain, I have already begun to influence this domain." Xu Jingming felt that a powerful lifeform would naturally and invisibly influence all beings in a domain.

"Therefore, for my long-term residence, I have to formulate rules and create a territory suitable for me. This can also reduce the impact on ordinary beings."

Xu Jingming also understood.

That was why the residences of third realm existences would follow their word, and rules would be established. If rules were not formulated to suppress the influence, weak lifeforms would be unconsciously influenced and contaminated.

"The more perfect my territory is built, the greater the help it will be to me. When other third realm existences come over, they will also be suppressed by my territory." Xu Jingming understood at this moment, "No wonder third realm existences can never die unless they are looking for death."

"In one's own territory, one's strength can greatly increase."

"Different systems have their own differences. Also, the condensed avatars can also be hidden in the past or even the future timelines."

For those below the third realm, going to the past or the future was almost impossible.

But third realm existences who transcended the timeline could easily go there, just like an ordinary person walking from one room to another.

Xu Jingming stood here, and his weak avatars were already trying to go to the past timeline.

His weak avatars, whose essential life force was already that of a third realm existence, just didn't have enough energy and still needed enough time to improve.

"The past timeline is actually the things that have already happened. If I don't interfere, they will proceed as in history. If I interfere in the past and influence the fate of some beings… it will affect the beings in the present." Xu Jingming sighed inwardly.

Third realm existences could change history to some extent.

"As for the future timeline, there are too many variables in the future. The future branches I go to may collapse and fall into darkness at any time."

"Unfortunately… it is very difficult to go to other parallel space-times." Xu Jingming shook his head slightly.

When he became a third realm existence, he naturally absorbed the essential life force of all versions of himself in parallel space-times. But to cross the entire space-time and arrive in another space-time! There was a very large resistance.

Xu Jingming was a little interested in other parallel space-times, but he was not that eager.

What he was more interested in was… the 'River of Time' in his own space-time.

"I can feel the countless beings who died in this space-time." Xu Jingming's gaze could travel through time, seeing his parents, wife, daughter, and other loved ones who were approaching the end of their lifespans.

He could directly bring his loved ones from the past to the present!

"With the power of my words, I can grant them eternal life." Xu Jingming was delighted. When a lifeform was strong enough to reach the third realm, they could formulate rules within a small range.

"Wu Ming, congratulations." Monarch Featherfire's voice came from afar. He was the first third realm existence to congratulate him.

Xu Jingming turned his head to look. His gaze passed through the obstacles of space-time and saw Featherfire City, saw Monarch Featherfire with goodwill, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, Monarch Featherfire. I am able to become a third realm existence, thanks to Monarch Featherfire sending me to the Ultimate Land."

"I have helped countless beings, but you are the only one who has become a third realm existence." Monarch Featherfire laughed loudly, "In the end, it depends on oneself."

"Wu Ming, congratulations." Monarch Louye congratulated from afar.

The weak being he had easily dragged into that painting had now reached the same height as him.

"Monarch Louye." Xu Jingming also nodded slightly; that silver paper had contributed greatly to his journey to this point.

"Before, when I saw you obtain the Ultimate Land heritage, I guessed that you would soon become a third realm existence." A figure bathed in cyan light looked over from afar, "As expected, in a short period of time, you have already reached this step."

Xu Jingming looked at the other party: "Master Koye."

Xu Jingming had never had a good impression of Master Koye.

"Congratulations."

"Wu Ming, congratulations."

One third realm existence after another transmitted their voices from afar.

The 35 third realm existences in the entire space-time had different thoughts, but they all congratulated Xu Jingming. After all, they were in the same space-time, and they would often have to deal with each other in the long years to come.

Xu Jingming simply dealt with them one by one.

"Wu Ming, congratulations, you are really fast at becoming a third realm existence." Drunken Empyrean was also among them.

"Thanks to the opportunity given by the Ultimate existence." Xu Jingming said modestly. He did not notice the relationship between Drunken Empyrean and his grandfather, Grandpa Xu. In fact, the third realm existences in this space-time had not noticed it.

Under Drunken Empyrean's deliberate concealment, Grandpa Xu and Drunken Empyrean had no karmic connection or aura connection. Even the third realm existences could not detect a trace.
