448 Six Years
“Junior Brother Wu Ming!” Senior Brother Redeye still looked like a child as he shouted with a smile, “Try guessing Senior Brother Gu Shan’s real identity!”
“I’m clueless.” Xu Jingming walked over, sat on the sofa, and casually picked up a glass of wine. “Senior Brother Redeye, tell me.”
Redeye immediately asked, “You know about the Frostwhisper Civilization, right?”
“I know. It’s the strongest civilization in the Frost Star Alliance; its history can be traced back to the dark ages. Of the nearly 1,000 intermediate cosmic civilizations in the Hunter Cosmic Sector, the Frostwhisper Civilization is ranked in the top 30,” Xu Jingming said. “It owns a territory of more than 12,000 galaxies. It has two Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms and 285 Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms.”
“Our Senior Brother Gu Shan is the Frostwhisper Civilization’s 286th Lv. 9 Origin lifeform in the current age.” Redeye pointed at Gu Shan, who was sitting beside him with a smile. “Moreover, he’s the prince of the Frost Song Civilization, Jun Shikong Frostwhisper. As a prince who can become an Origin lifeform, he naturally deserves to be in the line of succession. As long as he’s willing, he can become the next emperor of the Frostwhisper Civilization.”
“The third prince of the Frostwhisper Civilization?” The silver-haired beauty—Senior Sister Moyu—and Senior Brother Azurescale walked in together and looked at Gu Shan in surprise.
“Eldest Senior Brother, do you plan on becoming the emperor of Frostwhisper Civilization?” Redeye asked.
“I have no plans for that.” Gu Shan smiled.
“The Frostwhisper Civilization’s emperor has a lot of authority. You’re giving it up just like that?” Redeye shook his head.
Xu Jingming was a little stunned.
Some ancient civilizations in the universe could be very powerful. For example, the strength of a civilization like Frostwhisper could match weaker Star Alliances!
It was said that the Black Moon civilization was very powerful, but it couldn’t cross the threshold of an intermediate cosmic civilization. As for the Frostwhisper civilization, it was considered top-notch among intermediate cosmic civilizations. It was terrifyingly powerful.
Two Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms, 286 Origin lifeforms, and a territory comparable to one-tenth of the Oohook Star Alliance! The population is uncountable, and their technological and military achievements have reached an unimaginable level! A civilization on par with a Star Alliance, Xu Jingming sighed with emotion.
How many Origin lifeforms had been born in the long history of the Frostwhisper Civilization? How many great scholars had been born?
It was generations of Origin lifeforms and great scholars that allowed the Frostwhisper Civilization to prosper.
My homeworld only has one habitable planet now, and its population doesn’t exceed ten billion. When will it develop to the level of the Frostwhisper Civilization? Xu Jingming thought. It was too distant.
Even if he was individually strong, the buildup of technology, population reproduction, and territory expansion took a long time.


Senior Brother Gu Shan sat on the sofa and smiled. “The Frostwhisper Civilization has a long history that exceeds 300 million years, but it’s precisely because of its long history that results in especially complicated factions within. Even as emperor, one will find it difficult to control many things. Instead of being an emperor who needs to keep all parties in check, it’s better to focus on the evolutionary path!”
“Impressive.” Redeye raised his glass. “To give up such immense authority so easily, I have to toast you, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Gu Shan smiled and took a sip.
“It’s said that the third prince of Frostwhisper Civilization is lazy and enjoys pleasure. It looks like everyone was wrong,” Moyu commented with a smile.
“I do like pleasure.” Gu Shan drank. “People need to have some hobbies in life. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be exhausting?”
As they chatted and laughed, Metal Feather and Kabuya arrived.
“Everyone is here. Take a seat.” Gu Shan got up.
The eight of them sat down.
Although Eldest Senior Brother Gu Shan had become an Origin lifeform, as geniuses of the Primordial Star Conjecture lineage, the others had self-confidence. They could still remain calm in front of their Eldest Senior Brother.
“Junior Sister Moyu,” Gu Shan said, “your mental strength increases faster than mine. When will you break through to become an Origin lifeform?”
“Senior Brother, now that you’ve broken through, I’ll break through in three years,” Moyu replied with a faint smile.
“Wow!”
“Within three years?”
“Senior Sister Moyu!”
Redeye, Monina, Kabuya, and the others were very surprised.
Gu Shan said, “If she wanted to do so, she could’ve broken through before me. She isn’t in a hurry at all. She even had the mood to establish 12 sects in the Demon Vanquishing World.”
“It’s also to hone the mind more perfectly as a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform,” Moyu said. “After all, the feeling is different for the same thing at different stages of life.”
“The two of you are about to break through. As the third oldest, my mental strength is still lacking.” Redeye wore a bitter expression.
“How long do you reckon it will take?” Monina pressed.
“Within a hundred years.” Redeye shook his head.
“Shut up!” Monina curled her lips. “I don’t even see any hope to succeed in the next 300 to 500 years. Yet, I don’t say it out loud.”
Once their eldest senior sister broke through, Redeye and Monina would be the oldest.
“I don’t see any hope of doing so within the next 500 years.” Azurescale shook his head.
Metal Feather, Kabuya, and Xu Jingming didn’t say a word. The three youngest had cultivated for a relatively short period of time, but naturally, they had reached the limit of Lv. 8.
“Senior Brother Gu Shan, tell me how it feels to break through to become an Origin lifeform,” Moyu asked.
“Alright.” Gu Shan nodded and began speaking.
Xu Jingming and the others listened attentively.


Senior Sister Moyu broke through two years later after the gathering of the eight and became an Origin lifeform.
Xu Jingming and the others also learned of Senior Sister Moyu’s identity in reality. Senior Sister Moyu came from a very ordinary basic cosmic civilization, the Windmount civilization. The Windmount civilization had 12 habitable planets, and it was only slightly better than Earth’s civilization.
Moyu came from an ordinary background and rose step by step. In reality, she disguised herself as a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform and was also the principal of a school.
After she became an Origin lifeform, the entire Windmount civilization fell into a euphoria!
******
In the blink of an eye, it was 2101.
In his personal space in the virtual world, Xu Jingming was reading a large amount of scientific knowledge.
He had been focused on Battle of the Universe’s Apex for six years. His talent in actual combat was recognized by all factions when he participated in the mysterious land’s selection! After all, he cultivated to become a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform in less than two years.
Xu Jingming’s outstanding combat talent was perfectly displayed after he focused on Battle of the Universe’s Apex.
In six years, he fought dozens of battles a day, totaling tens of thousands of battles. His opponents were all at the limit of Lv. 8, and their strength wasn’t much different from his. All of this had a huge impact on Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming was like a piece of metal that had undergone tens of thousands of battles and was truly tempered into steel. His actual combat techniques had completely reached a whole new level.
The more I learn, the more I find the Primordial Star indescribable. Xu Jingming tapped and closed the page in front of him.
It’s time for my appointment. Xu Jingming tapped on the visitor information and invited one of the guests in.
Whoosh.
A short, cyan-skinned elder walked in. He wore exquisite clothes and smiled when he entered. “Greetings, Mr. Wu Ming. I’m Kuratei, chairman of the Nine Star Group.”
“Mr. Kuratei, please have a seat.” Xu Jingming nodded and pointed at a seat beside him.
Kuratei was also observing Xu Jingming and secretly made a judgment. This Wu Ming feels like a weapon with an invisible edge just sitting there. Such a person who doesn’t show off his ability isn’t easy to deal with.
Six years ago, Xu Jingming looked a little aged when he first left the Demon Vanquishing World. However, it was different now—weapons had fused into his mind and changed his bearing.
“Mr. Wu Ming, you should know that our Nine Star Group’s team is known as the number one team in the Oohook Star Alliance,” Kuratei said. “I’m here to invite you to join our team and vie for a spot in the Hunter Cosmic Sector’s top ten teams. Once you succeed
 we have a chance of reaching the highest stage! That’s the hottest competition in the 34 cosmic sectors.”
“I can guarantee it.” Kuratei said, “After you enter the team, you will undergo fair competition. The capable will succeed, and the weak will fail. I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to become the team’s linchpin.”
He had to build camaraderie with the team after being recruited. If he didn’t do well, he would be left on the benches.
“I’ve heard of the Nine Star Group.” Xu Jingming nodded. “But I’m sorry; I don’t plan on joining any teams.”
“There are many benefits to joining a team,” Kuratei said with a smile. “Lord Fengming, the founder of our Nine Star Group, is an Origin lifeform. He’s also a founding member of the Oohook Star Alliance’s Senate. He’s also a high-ranking member of the Oohook Chamber of Commerce, and his influence has spread throughout the Star Alliance. Lord Fengming takes good care of the team members. With Lord Fengming’s help, I believe your life in the Oohook Star Alliance will be smoother.”
“I have no intention of joining any team,” Xu Jingming repeated.
Kuratei’s expression changed slightly as he said softly, “Mr. Wu Ming, are you sure you want to reject the Nine Star Group’s invitation?”
“Yes, I refuse.” Xu Jingming nodded.
After focusing on weapons for so long, he spoke more directly and didn’t want to beat around the bush.
Kuratei got up and nodded. “I understand; I’ll inform Lord Fengming of your answer. I just want to advise you not to reject the goodwill of an Origin lifeform that easily. Mr. Fengming values the team and you.”
“Are you threatening me?” Xu Jingming stared at him.
Kuratei was stunned. Was this Wu Ming a tough nut?
“I was just trying to persuade you in a friendly manner,” Kuratei said.
“Got it.” Xu Jingming nodded and kicked the other party from his personal space, blocking him.
He had been using the Wu Ming identity, so what if he rejected a team’s invitation?
Xu Jingming shook his head. How can a lackey be so arrogant as to threaten me?
The other party looked polite, but Xu Jingming could sense the hidden threat. However, he clearly didn’t care!
Ignoring the fact that Senior Brother Gu Shan and Senior Sister Moyu’s influence could suppress Lord Fengming, even Xu Jingming’s self-confidence grew.
Xu Jingming opened his Battle of the Universe’s Apex interface—
Name: Wu Ming
Oohook Star Alliance Ranking: 3
Hunter Cosmic Sector Ranking: 523
Overall Universe Ranking: 12791
I became third in the Oohook Star Alliance in six years. It’s several times faster than my original plan, he thought. I’m quite talented in actual combat.
