546 Credit

In his personal s.p.a.ce in the virtual world.

It’s been approved? Xu Jingming looked at the new transfer order and couldn’t help but reveal a look of delight. Then, a new request to visit his personal s.p.a.ce popped up. Deputy Dean Redmond wants to see me?

Xu Jingming reached out and tapped gently as he got up to welcome the guest.

A wide and fat figure walked out of the void—it was Deputy Dean Redmond. He was still his smiling self; his eyes narrowed into a line.

“Deputy Dean Redmond.” Xu Jingming bowed slightly.

“Don’t stand on ceremony. Have a seat.” Redmond smiled and sat down on the sofa first.

Xu Jingming also sat down opposite him and poured him a gla.s.s of fruit wine.

“You received the transfer order, right?”

“I did.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“I didn’t let you go to the front line previously because the conflict there is the most intense. Several h.e.l.lion Sovereigns possessing high-dimensional powers are permanently stationed there. You might encounter them if you go over,” Redmond said. “Now that your strength has increased quite a bit, and you have the protection of Primordial Battle Armor #9, you can go. You could be revived upon dying, but Primordial Battle Armor #9 would’ve been lost… Although the aliens can’t use it, the price of losing a set of numbered Primordial Battle Armor will ultimately be very high.”

“Understood.” Xu Jingming nodded.

“You have to seize the opportunity to acc.u.mulate more credit on this trip to the front line,” Redmond said with a smile. “The next time our Primordial Research Inst.i.tute opens up credit exchange is in 112 years. When that happens, some cosmic treasures, high-dimensional objects, technological weapons, and so on will be made available. The better the item, the more credit it will require. For the next exchange… you only have 112 years to prepare.”

“I understand.” Xu Jingming was also looking forward to it.

For example, s.p.a.cetime Star Sand was one of the cosmic wonders released for exchange by s.p.a.cetime Island.

“Especially the Primordial Star Flame—every wisp is very precious. When the time comes, people will be ranked according to their contributions. Those with high contributions will be given priority,” Redmond said. “This is also a rule shared by the 17 top factions of the cosmic human race—those that make great contributions have priority. You should know very well… the importance of the Primordial Star Flame.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

Primordial Star Flame… It was the flames of the Primordial Star from high-dimensional s.p.a.ce! Even the dean couldn’t truly touch the Primordial Star, but the Primordial Star cycled between convergence and eruption. During the eruptions, the flames would spread far and wide! The dean and the others would have a chance to capture them.

Every wisp of Primordial Star Flame was a treasure to evolvers who cultivated the Primordial Star lineage. Just looking at it for a long time allowed one to have a deeper understanding of the Primordial Star, allowing one to visualize it more realistically and have a chance of reaching a higher level in visualization. This wasn’t even mentioning the use of light, flames, and other powers.

As for some high-dimensional weapons and civilization-level smart bots, these were very common. They just had one thing in common: they were very expensive! Typically, contribution credit was needed to exchange for them. Only a small number of items were available for exchange using cosmic dollars.

Regarding the credit exchange, the items of the other 14 top factions were relatively ordinary. The three strongest factions’ exchange was the most eye-catching. After all, the three Paramounts were behind the procurement of these precious items.

However, the three strongest factions had an average of about 10,000 Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms, not to mention the large number of Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms. The precious items made available every time were far too few. Almost all of them were s.n.a.t.c.hed up.

One had to pay a huge price to seek the help of those with plenty of credits to exchange something on their behalf most of the time.

Other than the three strongest factions, the Cosmic Human Alliance officially regularly did credit exchanges, but they mainly focused on technology. High-dimensional items and cosmic wonders were even rarer.

“According to our intelligence, there are six h.e.l.lion Sovereigns who have grasped high-dimensional powers right at the forefront of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector. The strongest is Sovereign Moyou,” Redmond reminded. “He’s also one of the ten Great Sovereigns of the h.e.l.lions.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “I know. There are more than 10,000 h.e.l.lion Sovereigns. Those in the top ten are either cosmic legends or have especially powerful high-dimensional strength.”

For example, Sovereign Uke had once attacked him, causing him to lose consciousness instantly. Although he had grasped some level of high-dimensional powers, he wasn’t among the top ten h.e.l.lion Sovereigns.

“Sovereign Moyou has a deep heritage,” Redmond said. “Not only can the high-dimensional power he grasps—the Nightmare World—infiltrate the mind, but it can also envelop a large area. We have seven Lv. 10 experts in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector who have high-dimensional powers, but none of them can withstand Sovereign Moyou in a head-on clash. Based on the numerous clashes, Sovereign Moyou’s psychic force has reached high-dimensional.”

Xu Jingming’s pupils constricted.

“Don’t worry. He may be able to spy on high-dimensional s.p.a.ce, but the speed at which Nightmare World penetrates high-dimensional s.p.a.ce will definitely be much slower than in ordinary cosmic s.p.a.cetime. He won’t be able to catch up to you,” Redmond said. “But remember, just escape when you encounter him.”

“Understood—there’s still a huge gap between us.” Xu Jingming also knew that his only high-dimensional power was adept in movement, so he naturally couldn’t injure the other party at all.

“You’re best at targeting the many Overlords of the h.e.l.lions,” Redmond remarked. “The more you kill, the more terrified the Lv. 9 h.e.l.lion Overlords will be. They won’t be willing to throw their lives away. Your efficiency in killing is higher than that of a hundred Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms. Oh right, what’s your maximum distance for s.p.a.cetime Travel?”

Xu Jingming said, “My mental strength has just broken through to Lv. 10 visualization. With the help of the battle armor, my limit is 1.08 billion light-years.”

s.p.a.cetime Travel was still in normal cosmic s.p.a.ce, and the distance could be great.

Xu Jingming only had basic mastery of high-dimensional traveling after all, so the distance was relatively short. However, the conditions for using s.p.a.cetime Travel were very harsh. For example, the intense aftershocks of a battle affected s.p.a.cetime, and large-scale domains affected s.p.a.cetime… All kinds of reasons prevented one from using s.p.a.cetime Travel.

s.p.a.cetime Travel was suitable for traveling, but it was inferior in terms of life-preservation.

“1.08 billion light-years?” Redmond laughed. “Haha, that means you can reach about one-third of the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector in a jiffy.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

“With your interception capability, you will pose a terrifying threat to the Lv. 9 h.e.l.lion Overlords,” Redmond said with a smile. “If you perform well, you will be no less useful than a cosmic legend.”

“I’ll do my best.” Xu Jingming didn’t show any mercy to the h.e.l.lions. Having seen the planets with all life wiped out, he wouldn’t show mercy when it came to wiping out the entire h.e.l.lion species.

Redmond continued, “In a while, the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute will send you detailed information on some of the top powerhouses in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector. At the very least, you won’t easily fall into a trap if you know yourself and your enemy.”

“Also, other than you, there are seven Lv. 10 powerhouses in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector who have grasped high-dimensional powers. I’ll arrange for the seven of them to meet you,” Redmond said. “In the future, the eight of you will work together. You each have your own strengths and control different high-dimensional powers… When you work together, you can achieve a synergistic effect.”

“I’m good at speed, so I can bring the other guardians with me.” Xu Jingming came to a realization.

“In short, the eight of you should discuss how to work as a team.” Redmond got up. “I’ll inform you of the time and place of the gathering soon.”

Xu Jingming nodded.

“The more you kill, the more we can intimidate them. We can also indirectly save tens of thousands of habitable planets,” Redmond gave him a word of encouragement before disappearing into nothingness.

Perhaps high-dimensional lifeforms no longer cared about the countless planetary lifeforms in the cosmic human race’s vast territory. They only needed to ensure the overall stability of their species and ignored everything else.

In their eternal lifespans, many generations of planetary lifeforms would pa.s.s away while they were studying something.

However, Xu Jingming, Deputy Dean Redmond, and the other Origin lifeforms who weren’t high-dimensional yet still cared.

…

In the virtual world.

On a floating island in the virtual world with only five people, they sat around a table and drank and chatted.

One of them wore a light-gold robe, and his beard and hair suffused with gold. He had an aged face and a pair of golden wings.

The golden-winged elder smiled at his companions. “Every year pa.s.sed is a year lost for us old guys. I only have about 300 years left to live. Even if I can become a cosmic legend, I won’t have the time to evolve into a high-dimensional lifeform.”

“Yeah.” Another middle-aged man’s eyes were deep as if they hid endless s.p.a.cetime. “There’s nothing I can do about my gradual aging. Although I’m in a better situation and have 8,000 years to live, I also have no hope of becoming a Paramount.”

“Back when the five of us joined forces, all of us wanted to become Paramounts. How ambitious were we,” a beautiful silver-haired woman said with a smile.

“Back then, we called ourselves the Five Regis Council, and it was a meeting of the five Regis. But what are the other Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms saying about us now? They call us the Five Elders Council—just five old fellows.” An elder in a loose black robe chuckled. “Of the five of us, the youngest is more than 85,000 years old. We are indeed old.”

Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms naturally had small circles in their long lives due to their strength and proximity.

These Five Elders Council members were five genius Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms who had been made Regis at a young age a long time ago. They had formed an alliance and swore to break through to the Paramount realm, but they had little left of their lives—their chances were slim.

“Let’s switch topics,” the beautiful silver-haired woman said. “Brother Wen, are you still continuing the development of s.p.a.ce under the Ninth Baron?”

“I don’t have many years to leave. I sold off my rights,” the golden-winged elder answered with a smile.

“What did you exchange for? Currency, cosmic territory, or something else?” The other four looked at him.

“In 35 years, Eternal Academy will open up the credit exchange. 112 years for the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute. s.p.a.cetime Island’s one happens in 500 years. I can’t wait any longer,” the golden-winged elder said. “I need the credit from Eternal Academy or the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.”

The exchange for Eternal Academy was limited to Eternal Academy members. It was the same for the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.

“50 million credits.” The golden-winged elder glanced at his four friends. “The price isn’t high.”

Of the four friends, one was from Eternal Academy, one was from the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute, and two were from s.p.a.cetime Island. Of course, the golden-winged elder was also from the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute.

“Ah Li and I can provide half each,” the black-robed elder said.

The beautiful woman nodded. “Alright.”

“Next topic…”

The five of them had a simple discussion and agreed on a large distribution of benefits.

When the Five Elders Council ended—

The other companions left one after another, and the golden-winged elder sat there alone.

I don’t have many years to live. If I can become a cosmic legend before I die and experience what it feels like to be a cosmic legend, I can let my mental imprint remain in the virtual world and let countless humans know… of the existence of such a cosmic legend. That would be nice. The golden-winged elder looked forward to it. But it’s too difficult. I can’t rely on external objects and acc.u.mulate knowledge to comprehend high-dimensional powers?

The cosmic s.p.a.cetime we live in is fundamentally different from high-dimensional s.p.a.ce. The elder shook his head.

If the difficulty when using external objects was 1, the difficulty of grasping high-dimensional strength purely by oneself was at least 100.

He suddenly received a piece of mail.

Huh? The elder looked at the content of the letter and smiled. Deputy Dean Redmond wants me to organize a gathering to meet Junior Brother Wu Ming? I never expected that there would be another person in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector who has grasped high-dimensional powers other than the seven of us.

Junior Brother Wu Ming is only about 100 years old, right? He’s so young! A Lv. 10 Origin lifeform has a lifespan of 100,000 years. His future is truly limitless. The elder sighed.
