The night breeze was cooler at night.

Xu Jingming sat in the courtyard and looked at a projection. The projection was filled with text written in the universal human language and a large number of formulas, but Xu Jingming was focused.

Xu Lixing felt a headache when she saw this. “Dad, what are you looking at? I can’t understand anything.”

“In layman’s terms, it’s theoretical knowledge about spacetime wormholes,” Xu Jingming introduced.

“That I know.” Xu Lixing nodded. “Spaceships that truly travel long distances in the universe travel through wormholes. Through a wormhole, one can arrive in a distant spacetime in an extremely short period of time. However, I don’t understand any of the formulas you’re looking at, Dad.”

“These are all formulas used in spacetime folding,” Xu Jingming introduced. “This formula is still very simple. It’s like when a wave is raised, the waves vary in amplitude…”

“Don’t continue. I’m not interested.” Xu Lixing immediately stopped him.

Xu Jingming remained stunned. Sigh, there is nobody to share it with.

“Dad, you can create a spacetime wormhole with your bare hands just by learning this?” Xu Lixing was very interested in this. “I heard that Origin lifeforms are almost omnipotent when it comes to controlling the Force.”

“I have to learn it first.” Xu Jingming smiled and replied, “Your father is a rookie, so I can’t create a spacetime wormhole by myself. I have to understand every step of the spacetime wormhole’s formation and the principles behind them before I can use Force to replicate that.”

“Looks difficult.” Xu Lixing got up. “I won’t keep you then.”

Xu Jingming smiled and continued studying the theoretical knowledge. It’s very simple to go from a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform to a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. It’s to use one’s mental strength to control Origin Force and construct the most basic Force structure of a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform. As long as one can successfully construct one, they can replicate and grow. Soon, their entire body will be successfully replaced, allowing them to completely step into the level of a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform.

A structure made of Lv. 10 Force.

Xu Jingming knew very well that although this appeared to be the only threshold, there were actually many hidden difficulties.

Back when I constructed a Lv. 9 Force structure, I spent 12 minutes in reality after repeated attempts in the virtual world, he thought. As for Lv. 10, the difficulty is a qualitative change.

Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms had a lifespan of 30,000 years.

A Lv. 10 Origin lifeform had a lifespan of 100,000 years! This was also the lifespan limit for anything below high-dimensional lifeforms. The difference between Lv. 10 and Lv. 9 could be seen from their lifespans.

A Lv. 10 Origin lifeform is already the most perfect lifeform in the universe. In a sense… its Force structure is already the most perfect in space and time! Xu Jingming also felt pressured.

This was a construct in the microscopic aspect.

First, one’s mental strength has to be strong enough; otherwise, they won’t be able to continue the entire construction process.

Second, you have to completely understand the principles behind the Force structure units before you can construct them more easily and confidently.

The difficulty of a Lv. 10 Force structure unit is broken down into different stages according to the Primordial Research Institute’s learning materials, Xu Jingming thought. For example, a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform using Heavenly Python Evolution needs to master six Force models. Having mastered these six Force models… It means that the knowledge regarding Lv. 10 Force structure units is enough.

Of the six Force models, the first is the spacetime wormhole model.

A spacetime wormhole model was already the simplest.

I’ll take it slow. Xu Jingming knew very well that he couldn’t rush it.

Although his knowledge store was average, his brain worked extremely quickly after becoming an Origin lifeform, so his learning speed was naturally much faster. He was constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge.

…

Seconds turned to minutes, and the night deepened.

In just a few hours of study, he had learned more than many planetary lifeforms would learn their entire lives. But even so, it was still a long way from completely understanding the spacetime wormhole model.

Wormhole travel was a seemingly universal feature of spaceships, but most basic civilizations in the universe didn’t grasp this knowledge. It was obvious how difficult it was.

“Jingming.” Li Miaomiao walked out of the house.

Xu Jingming looked up at his wife.

“Director Zhou contacted us and said that the Black Moon civilization’s diplomatic mission has arrived,” Li Miaomiao said.

“Black Moon civilization’s diplomatic mission?” Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “I know. They had sent me a message.”

When the Black Moon diplomatic mission entered the solar system, he knew of their every move.

“Earth has already received them and arranged some lodging for them,” Li Miaomiao said. “The Black Moon civilization hopes to call on you personally.”

“Call on me?” Xu Jingming thought for a moment and nodded. “I do want to meet them. How about this? Let’s arrange a place to meet in Binhai City.”

Li Miaomiao nodded. “Alright, I’ll inform Director Zhou. When would it be a suitable time to meet?”

“Tomorrow at two in the afternoon,” Xu Jingming replied.

******

The next afternoon, Binhai City. The security outside the National Guest Hall was tight.

In the lounge inside the National Guest Hall, many members of the Black Moon civilization’s diplomatic mission were present. Some officials from Earth also chatted with them.

Everyone chatted casually and happily. They only occasionally looked out at the main road in the distance. They were waiting, waiting for someone…

“He’s here.”

“He’s arrived.”

The members of the Black Moon civilization’s diplomatic mission and Earth’s officials perked up and looked over.

The door in the distance was already open, and guards lined both sides.
