809 The Origin of Everything (Finale) (5/9)

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Snowflakes danced and settled delicately on the plum blossoms, creating a picturesque scene in one corner of the garden. Every part of the garden had its unique weather and scenery, each captivating in its own way.

With a gentle touch, Xu Jingming caressed the plum blossom.

There’s no one truly extraordinary in the real timeline. Compared to them… my growth during the Abyssal Era in the independent spacetime was considered swift, he mused, a smile playing on his lips. This sense of progress, advancing by leaps and bounds, is undeniably gratifying!

Even though I’d merely sent a thought and temporarily sealed my memories, at my core, I possess the essence of an Ultimate existence, Xu Jingming reflected, a tinge of emotion in his thoughts. There are no cultivation bottlenecks to hinder me, and I have thoroughly surpassed all prodigious individuals. Remarkable, indeed.

To make the most of the Abyssal Era and avoid wasting its opportunities, I consciously chose to follow the path of the psychic weapon lineage. It went well; I expanded the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls from 129 volumes to 132. After all, Xu Jingming was the Master of the Heart Realm.

In the past, Xu Jingming had established a solid foundation using the illusory realm of the Heart Realm. Hence, even with his memories sealed, the illusory realm of his Heart Realm had flourished without encountering any hindrances in the independent spacetime.

Had it not been for the Ultimate legacy, his psychic weapon lineage might have struggled to keep pace with the rapid development of his Heart Realm’s illusory realm.

Endowed with abundant resources and an Ultimate existence, he wielded complete control over the psychic weapon lineage, leveraging the assistance of the wager.

Yes, the essence of an Ultimate existence ensures swift growth, even with a mere thought, Xu Jingming acknowledged. In the real timeline, my true progress was considerably more arduous.

In reality…

That year, Earth made the virtual world accessible to the public! Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were just dating at the time.

Within the virtual world, Xu Jingming experienced a meteoric rise. It didn’t take long for him to surpass his master, Liu Hai, and claim the title of Earth’s foremost warrior!

However, during that period, Tejano wasn’t responsible for safeguarding the emerging civilization. An ordinary staff member dispatched by the Cosmic Human Alliance took the role. He paid little heed to feeble civilizations and harbored no particular fondness for Earth.

He didn’t spare much thought for Earth’s fawning, nor did he partake in their warrior competition.

Thus, Xu Jingming had surged far ahead, indisputably reigning as Earth’s number one. Later on, he transcended into a cosmic entity and ventured forth into the vast expanse of the universe.

The moment the protection period for the emerging civilization concluded, the Black Moon civilization descended upon them!

In reality, without Tejano’s assistance, Xu Jingming remained oblivious to the existence of the mysterious land. He continued his gradual growth within the virtual world, toiling diligently to earn a living. Earth’s civilization proved feeble against the colossal might of the Black Moon civilization, and they were left utterly at its mercy.

The resources of Earth’s civilization were drained, reduced to a mere auxiliary existence subservient to the Black Moon civilization. The human inhabitants of Earth endured lives filled with misery. Yet, as a cosmic entity, Xu Jingming enjoyed relatively better days, shielded by the protective laws of the Cosmic Human Alliance.

Those were truly arduous times, marked by the absence of advantageous backgrounds and the oppressive weight of the Black Moon civilization. Xu Jingming vividly recalled those days. Thanks to Miaomiao’s unwavering support and the guidance of Grandpa, we navigated the most treacherous paths.

Upon venturing into the vastness of the universe, Xu Jingming showcased considerable talent. He assumed various roles within the virtual world, serving as a bodyguard, teacher, sparring partner, and undertaking numerous other occupations.

His grandfather managed a business firm, employing a handful of cosmic citizens hailing from Earth, Xu Jingming among them. His grandfather dealt with individuals from all walks of life, assisting Xu Jingming in securing lucrative business deals and devising his career trajectory. In terms of strategy, his grandfather proved more adept than both Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao, excelling even as an Earthling merchant within the Black Moon civilization.

During that time, Li Miaomiao indulged in live-streaming on the cosmic virtual network, often broadcasting Xu Jingming’s battles to a wide audience. It was his grandfather who imparted the knowledge of live-streaming, attracting viewers and bolstering their popularity. As time passed and Xu Jingming’s prowess grew, they finally garnered a measure of fame.

Fortunate enough to be recruited into a professional team when he became a Lv. 7 cosmic entity, Xu Jingming discovered that Tejano stood as the boss behind this team. Nevertheless, given Tejano’s numerous teams at the time, the team Xu Jingming joined competed solely in the lower-tier leagues, rendering him ineligible for an encounter with Tejano.

The stronger Xu Jingming became, the more the Black Moon civilization honed in on him! Prior to Earth’s complete assimilation by the Black Moon civilization, they sought to prevent the emergence of a true powerhouse from Earth.

During those trying times, his resourceful grandfather sought aid from influential families within the Black Moon civilization, doing his utmost to alleviate the mounting pressure on Xu Jingming.

Yet, as Xu Jingming achieved the breakthrough to a Lv. 8 cosmic entity, the Black Moon civilization recognized his immense potential, leaving no room for negotiation. The upper echelons of the Black Moon civilization resolved to obliterate Xu Jingming entirely, shattering any glimmer of hope for Earth.

According to the Black Moon civilization’s plan, it would take at least 10,000 years to completely assimilate Earth’s civilization and make Earth’s humans completely forget about Earth and become a part of the Black Moon civilization.

Enter Tejano at the most critical juncture! Though Tejano had never interacted with Xu Jingming before, as Xu Jingming joined a core team upon reaching the level of a Lv. 8 cosmic entity, Tejano found himself captivated while watching a competition featuring Xu Jingming.

Tejano’s think tank swiftly relayed Xu Jingming’s information to him, apprising him of the dire circumstances Xu Jingming faced. Tejano subsequently dispatched a message to the Black Moon civilization.

A solitary word from him altered Xu Jingming’s destiny.

The single heir to the cosmic legend, Redmond, spoke words that would entirely overturn the desolate circumstances in which Xu Jingming, Grandpa, Li Miaomiao, and company found themselves.
