Xu Jingming still had a large number of random memories in his mind, but his true memories also became clearer. Instantly, many ‘memories’ clashed.

Xu Jingming was a little puzzled. Who am I? Where am I?

Xu Jingming’s true memories spanning more than 300 years were personally experienced by him at the end of the day.

The emotions, the evolutionary path, and learning were extremely realistic in every aspect. They were incomparable to the illusory memories, so Xu Jingming was completely awake about ten seconds after he opened his eyes.

“I’m Xu Jingming.” Xu Jingming had a clear understanding.

The dean, Eternal Tower Master, Spacetime Island Lord, Deputy Dean Redmond, and Secretary General Blacksky were all observing Xu Jingming.

“It looks like you’ve woken up.” The dean nodded slightly. “Eternal Tower Master and Spacetime Island Lord have spent a lot of effort in order to save you.”

Although Xu Jingming had never seen the other two Paramounts, he could sense the invisible life auras of Eternal Tower Master and Spacetime Island Lordthey far exceeded Blacksky and Redmond. They were on the same level as the dean.

“Thank you, Dean. Thank you, Eternal Tower Master and Spacetime Island Lord.” Xu Jingming got up and bowed extremely respectfully.

The dean looked at Xu Jingming. “The corruption at the third realm is indeed terrifying.”

The past Xu Jingming Although he was also very respectful, he felt more admiration and adoration when facing Paramounts of the same species.

Now, Xu Jingming’s respectful bow contained more fear. He was like a wild beast that naturally chose to bow and be respectful when encountering three terrifying existences.

“Xu Jingming, is there a lot going through your mind? Do you feel different from before?” Eternal Tower Master asked.

“Yes, sir.” Xu Jingming nodded.

What he remembered of his past self was that he had a clear mind. He had a clear plan for his life and the future of Earth’s civilization. Every step he took was methodical and without any shred of arrogance; he was confident in the future.

But now, a large number of chaotic and evil thoughts were churning in the depths of his heart. Although the extremely cold force suppressed the chaos, it only barely kept him lucid.

Confusion and clarity intertwined, and Xu Jingming constantly felt terrible.

“It’s very normal,” Eternal Tower Master remarked. “It will be much better when you sort out your mind and gain control over it.”

“Don’t resist completely,” the dean said. “The third-realm corruption has long seeped into every part of your life. You can’t resist; you have to learn to accept it and absorb it.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “Dean, what’s wrong with me? What’s with the third-realm corruption?”

The dean explained, “The Void Celestials have five legacies, and they are also the five strongest legacies in our universe. Gumo spared no expense gathering them over a long period of time in high-dimensional space.”

“The five legacies originate from third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms. In the current era of the Void Celestials, three of them have relied on the five legacies to become cosmic legends. Their strength is also considered top-notch among cosmic legends.”

“Of these three cosmic legends, one is called Tutenmu. He attacked you and projected the true projection of the Master of the Abyssal Void into your mind and consciousness,” the dean continued. “The true projection of a third-realm existence results in the complete corruption of low-dimensional lifeforms. Eternal Tower Master, Spacetime Island Lord, and I tried our best, but we couldn’t expel it.”

Xu Jingming naturally remembered the great figure.

Yes, just the thought of His figure made Xu Jingming feel endless amazement.

All the powers he had understood in the past were only an extremely tiny part of Him. Even Xu Jingming felt that the Primordial Star was a part of Him.

“Do you find the spacetime lineage and the Primordial Star lineage you used to study, as well as all the knowledge you have accumulated, inconspicuous parts of Master of the Abyssal Void?” the dean asked.

“Yes.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“A third-realm high-dimensional lifeform can indeed unify all powers,” the dean said. “This level of corruption is something you can’t resist now! Do you believe you are using almost all your mental efforts to suppress the chaos and that you can only use a small amount of mental strength?”

“Yes, the mental strength I can use is less than 1% of my true mental strength,” Xu Jingming said. “I can’t even visualize the Primordial Star with such weak mental strength.”

“You need to divert your attention to suppress the chaos when comprehending any other path.” The dean explained, “The only way is for you to comprehend the source of this chaos and comprehend the high-dimensional power that corrupts you. In other words the power of the Master of the Abyssal Void.”

“Comprehend it and grasp it! It will slowly be tamed and can eventually be utilized by you,” the dean said. “You don’t have a legacy, so what you need to comprehend is the power of a third-realm high-dimensional lifeform. You also need to keep suppressing the chaos Just gaining basic mastery is very difficult.”

“It’s extremely difficult to completely comprehend a portion of Abyssal Void’s high-dimensional powers and become a cosmic legend. It’s even harder to construct a high-dimensional lifeform with it as the foundation.” The dean looked at Xu Jingming.

“Only two people in the history of the Void Celestials have broken through to become high-dimensional lifeforms with the five great legacies,” the dean said. “As for the corrupted test subjects, they don’t have legacies. Even if talented people suppress their mental chaos and become cosmic legends, they have never become high-dimensional lifeforms.”

“This path is very difficult,” Eternal Tower Master said, “but this is the path to the third realm. If you succeed, it will widen your future possibilities.”

“The Void Celestials are very confident. They have been corrupting the geniuses of the various races as test subjects all this while,” Spacetime Island Lord said. “They have never believed that alien geniuses can use this opportunity to become high-dimensional lifeforms. In fact, no test subject has ever done so.”

The dean, Eternal Tower Master, and Spacetime Island Lord stared at Xu Jingming with anticipation.

“There’s only so much we can help you with.” The dean handed the wine flask to Xu Jingming. “This is the Ice Wine I commissioned Eternal Tower Master to brew personally. It’s divided into six jugs! They will be stored at the Primordial Research Institute headquarters. After you finish one jug, you can come over and apply for the second jug.”

Ice Wine was too precious. The dean was also worried that Xu Jingming would die in an accident and lose all the Ice Wine.

Although the Primordial Fire Bead and Primordial Battle Armor #9 were precious, they were much inferior to the Ice Wine. That was why the dean made such careful arrangements.

“Thank you, Dean.” Xu Jingming took the wine flask. It was a flat, silver-gray wine flask, and the wine inside was ice-cold.

“Use it sparingly. Take a sip only when you are unable to suppress the chaos in your heart to the point of your rationality being completely overwhelmed,” Eternal Tower Master instructed. “Your dean paid a huge price for this Ice Wine.”

The dean gazed at Xu Jingming. “You aren’t allowed to leave the Primordial Research Institute headquarters for a year! Gain control over your mind before leaving the headquarters.”

“Yes, Dean,” Xu Jingming replied.

“Let’s go.”

The dean, Eternal Tower Master, and Spacetime Island Lord didn’t stay any longer. All of them turned ethereal and disappeared.

To become a high-dimensional lifeform without a legacy after being corrupted? The dean returned to his seclusive area and sighed softly. The Void Celestial Tutenmu is willing to exchange for the Master of the Abyssal Void’s true projection just to corrupt a test subject?

This time, it wasn’t a high-dimensional Void Celestial lifeform who made a move; it was a cosmic legend! Tutenmu had to spend credits to obtain the Master of the Abyssal Void’s projection! The dean could even tell at a glance that this was Tutenmu’s will from the bottom of his heart.

The grudge between Origin lifeforms had caused Xu Jingming to be corrupted. Even so, the dean could only suffer in silence.

With Xu Jingming’s talent, he originally had a high chance of becoming a high-dimensional lifeform! But now? It’s up to him. I’ve done everything I can. The dean turned back into a miniature Primordial Star.

******

At the Primordial Research Institute headquarters, Redmond and Blacksky sent Xu Jingming to an island.

“You’ll live here in the future,” Redmond said. “Come to me if you need anything.”

“Remember, gain control over your heart,” Blacksky said. “Do not get controlled by the chaotic thoughts.”

...

“I’m aware of that.” Xu Jingming nodded.

He didn’t want to become a lunatic either.

Redmond and Blacksky left.

Xu Jingming gazed at the islandthere were also a few houses on it.

On the island beach, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged and began to focus on dealing with the chaotic thoughts. With the help of the Ice Wine, his rationality slightly gained the upper hand.

Don’t keep resisting it and learn to accept it? Xu Jingming thought as his eyes darkened.

Time passed.

Xu Jingming had completely cut off all contact with the outside world during this period. The Primordial Research Institute had banned Xu Jingming from logging into the virtual world for the past year.

Xu Jingming’s influence and status were too high. He was now the number one person in the Oohook Star Alliance and had a group of good friends who had grasped high-dimensional powers! Even most of the top Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms in the cosmic human race would cut him some slack. If he had any ill intentions, he could cause immense damage even through the virtual world.

A year passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the grass and watched a furry beast carefully sniff its surroundings.

...

Pu.

A bloody hole appeared in the little alien beast’s head.

Xu Jingming’s eyes were filled with excitement as he watched the blood flow out of the hole. He got up and picked up the little alien beast’s corpse. Let’s have barbecue today.

Soon.

The little alien beast turned fragrant from the roasting. Xu Jingming unracked it and placed it on a plate on the table beside him before beginning to slice it up for consumption.

“Nine, I think my condition is very stable,” Xu Jingming said. “A year has passed. I can leave now, right?”

“Master, why don’t you stay another year?” Nine was a little afraid. Its master’s character had changed too drastically. Its former master was gentle, but its current master was completely different.

“I think I’m perfectly fine!” Xu Jingming wiped the corner of his mouth.

There weren’t even any bones left on the plate.

“In the past, I was too naive. I was sheltered by the dean and the others.” Xu Jingming got up. “I can’t wait to go out and see this exciting world.”

Xu Jingming suddenly paused and instructed, “Nine, here’s an order! Before I become a cosmic legend, you are to use Return on me the moment I approach Earth’s territory or my family; bring me back to the Primordial Research Institute headquarters.”

“This order takes precedence over all others,” Xu Jingming said softly.

Only by grasping Abyssal Void’s high-dimensional powers and becoming a cosmic legend could he ensure that he didn’t lose control.

“Yes,” Nine immediately replied happily.

This boosted Nine’s confidence in its master’s personality.

“It’s time to leave. I won’t become strong while being sheltered.” Xu Jingming’s eyes were filled with ridicule. “That idiot Tutenmu wants me to be a test subject? Can you figure out what I figure out?”

Hu!

Xu Jingming tore through the air and left the island.
