Tejano walked out of the void and smiled. âXu Jingming, you havenât contacted me for more than 100 years⊠Huh?â
Tejanoâs heart trembled when he saw the person in front of him.
Although Xu Jingmingâs appearance hadnât changed, and he was wearing a pitch-black robe⊠Even in the virtual world, the invisible aura made Tejanoâs heart palpitate!
Over the centuries, Tejano had seen all kinds of peopleâspace pirates with hands stained with blood, powerful slave owners, and some twisted existences in Origin lifeforms. However, none of them were as terrifying as Xu Jingming!
Xu Jingmingâs aura was dark and crazy, as if it wanted to drown out all rationality.
âXu Jingming, whatâs wrong with you?â Tejano was a little worried. âIs it because of the high-dimensional corruption?â
He knew Xu Jingming too well. This was because he was once in charge of protecting the weak emerging civilization, Earth. Xu Jingming wasnât even born when he arrived on Earth!
Therefore, Tejano knew every stage Xu Jingming had undergone in his surveillance recordsâfrom Xu Jingmingâs birth to his infancy, childhood, youth, teenage years⊠He was familiar with every step of Xu Jingmingâs growth.
Xu Jingming entered Blood Rain World and passed the selection in the mysterious land before finally entering the Primordial Research Institute. It was also thanks to Tejanoâs guidance.
In the past 100 years, Xu Jingming had temporarily cut off contact with his friends because of the high-dimensional corruption. Xu Jingming had always kept in touch with Tejano prior to that.
âYeah.â Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. âThe effects of high-dimensional corruption are very thorough.â
âHave you begged the Paramounts for help?â Tejano asked. âWhy donât I ask my father?â
âThe dean and the others have tried.â Xu Jingming shook his head. âThereâs nothing they can do about it.â
âThenâŠâ Tejano also felt a headache.
Xu Jingming smiled. âDonât worry about me. High-dimensional corruption looks terrifying, but as long as I grasp the high-dimensional powers of this corruption, I donât have to worry.â
âYou definitely know more about the evolutionary path than me.â Tejano nodded. âIf you need my help, feel free to ask.â
Xu Jingming smiled and said, âI just wanted to have a chat with you. How have you been recently?â
âMe?â Tejano smiled and said, âIâm still the same old guy with a temper; I just canât stop myself from meddling in matters I canât stand and take action when needed. Therefore, I caused quite a bit of trouble! Sigh, although I knew during my studies that the competition between countless civilizations in the cosmic human race is cruel and that there is a lot of darkness internally, I canât help it when I truly experience it!â
Xu Jingming nodded. âThere are countless humans in the cosmic human race. There are outstanding talents, and there is naturally scum.â
âYes, scum. Thatâs why you need a scavenger like me to clean up the trash.â Tejanoâs eyes were cold, but he immediately smiled and said, âThere were a few times when I caused serious trouble and implicated my father! Although my father criticized me, he didnât stop me. HahaâŠâ
Tejano raised his glass. âI understand what my father was implying. If he doesnât stop me, it means that he agrees with my actions.â
Deputy Dean Redmond was the strongest cosmic legend of the Cosmic Human Alliance and was in charge of the Primordial Research Institute! He also had a high status at the Cosmic Human Alliance headquarters. Therefore, whenever Tejano got into serious trouble and it reached the highest brass, Redmond was always the one responsible for dealing with it.
âHowever, you have to be careful,â Xu Jingming exhorted. âAlthough Deputy Dean Redmond is impressive, he canât do whatever he wants in the Cosmic Human Alliance. You still have to consider the consequences.â
âIf the consequences are within tolerable limits, you can make a move. If itâs beyond your level of tolerance⊠you can come to me if you really want it done.â Xu Jingming grinned. âIâm corrupted by high-dimensional powers. Itâs understandable for me to go crazy occasionally.â
Tejano glared. âXu Jingming, youâve changed.â
âPeople will always change,â Xu Jingming replied.
Tejano smiled, but he had a bad feeling.
If Tejano was to be punished, the Cosmic Human Allianceâs upper echelons could decide after discussion.
But to punish Xu Jingming, it had to be decided by the dean and the others! The three Paramounts descending to save Xu Jingming at the same time represented their attitude.
If Xu Jingming causes harm by controlling his level of madness, it will probably be difficult for the Cosmic Human Alliance to restrain him. Moreover, the Cosmic Human Alliance wonât disturb the three Paramounts unless itâs serious to a certain extent. Tejano knew this very well.
Nobody wanted to disturb the three Paramounts.
It was very rare for a consciousness clone to descend! Therefore, the three Paramounts wouldnât be involved unless Xu Jingming went crazy to a certain extent!
Secretary General Blacksky had previously warned Xu Jingming because he was worried that Xu Jingming would make Abyssal Voidâs projection descend into reality, wiping out all life in a radius of more than ten light-years. If he carried out such large-scale massacres repeatedly, it meant that Xu Jingming had completely lost control.
It was definitely intolerable.
After drinking and chatting with Xu Jingming, Tejano left.
After he left, he returned to his personal space.
âFather.â Tejano contacted his father, Redmond.
The wide and fat Redmond smiled at his son. Although his son had often caused trouble over the years, Redmond was very satisfied. He even tacitly agreed with his sonâs actions! This was because he felt that there was indeed some trash in the cosmic human race that needed to be âcleaned up.â It was just that he couldnât find any flaws from a legal point of view. His sonâs barbaric behavior was more effective.
Some large factions in the universe also understood that Redmond tacitly agreed with his sonâs actions.
âI met Xu Jingming,â Tejano said.
âYou met him?â Redmond frowned slightly.
âWe met in the virtual world,â Tejano immediately said.
Only then did Redmond relax.
Being corrupted by third-realm high-dimensional powers, Redmond couldnât be completely at ease with Xu Jingming.
âI sensed a huge change in him,â Tejano said worriedly. âAlthough he looks very clear-minded and still treats me as a friend, he said⊠that he can âoccasionally go crazyâ to help me with problems I canât resolve.â
âIâm very worried about his state,â Tejano continued worriedly. âIâve watched him grow. He has an outstanding personality, but the current himâŠâ
âDonât worry.â Redmond smiled and said, âTo know how to use âoccasional madnessâ to do things means that heâs very calm and rational.â
âVery calm and rational?â Tejano was puzzled.
âTo be able to exploit his madness means heâs calm,â Redmond remarked. âDonât worry. The Primordial Research Institute, Spacetime Island, and even Eternal Academy have been paying attention to Xu Jingming. At least from the looks of it, heâs in quite a good state.â
âQuite good?â Tejano blinked. âYou call that quite good? I really donât understand what you big shots think.â
âItâs much better than we expected. In just 100 years, he has gained basic mastery of the high-dimensional corruption,â Redmond said. âHowever, donât meet him in reality because he will become even more dangerous in the coming days.â
âMore dangerous?â Tejano was surprised.
After all, he was in charge of the entire Primordial Research Institute. Secretary General Blacksky would tell him everything he knew, allowing him to understand⊠that Xu Jingming was carrying out the âimitation method.â The further he went, the more dangerous it became.
âIs there a way to help him?â Tejano asked.
âHe has to walk out of the high-dimensional corruption himself. Nobody can help him,â Redmond said. âIn short, donât meet him in reality.â
Tejano nodded slightly. He was worried about his friend, but there was nothing he could do.
Over the years, there were many things he found himself powerless with. For example, he could do whatever he wanted among the countless civilizations of the Cosmic Human Alliance, but there were many things he couldnât stand and couldnât change.
In a restaurant in the Demon Vanquishing World.
Very few people outside Earth have a profound influence on me. Xu Jingming looked out the window. Tejano is one. Uncle Qi is next.
That year, Xu Jingming was still very youngâonly 32 years old.
He chose to hone his mind and will and came to the Demon Vanquishing World! Here, he got to know Wu Qi.
In the next ten-plus years, Xu Jingming and Uncle Qi spent time together and adventured together. The deep relationship formed from spending more than ten years together⊠made them virtually family.
How long had Xu Jingming spent with his parents and wife?
A figure appeared from the voidâit was a gray-robed man. He sat opposite Xu Jingming with a smile. âBrother Wu Ming.â
âBrother Keyu.â Xu Jingming nodded. âSorry to trouble you all these years.â
âBrother Wu Ming, you got me to take care of Wu Qi, so I naturally had to put some effort into it,â the gray-robed man said with a smile. âThings have been quite smooth for Wu Qi in the past 500 years. He only encountered some trouble in recent years. I couldnât hold it down either, so I could only give him a slap on the wrist based on the situation and demoted him to be in charge of a prison planet.â
âI said that even if Uncle Qi goes through ups and downs, itâs fine if he encounters something. As long as you help me protect him at critical moments,â Xu Jingming said.
He couldnât ask for too much from others.
It was very normal for a personâs life to have ups and downs! Xu Jingming only needed Brother Keyuâs help to ensure that Uncle Qi didnât suffer a serious setback.
âIâm ashamed.â Keyu shook his head.
âBrother Keyu, with your status and being the person in charge of the Demon Vanquishing Group, is there anything you canât handle in the Demon Vanquishing Group?â Xu Jingming asked curiously.
Keyu shook his head. âBrother Wu Ming, Iâm only a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. Although Iâm in charge of managing the Demon Vanquishing Group, the trouble Wu Qi encountered⊠exceeds the Demon Vanquishing Groupâs jurisdiction. According to the Qingfang civilization, many people will be executed. Even Wu Qiâwho is related to themâwas originally going to be imprisoned! I stepped in and got the Qingfang civilization to ultimately let him off lightly. Wu Qi still needed to be demoted.â
âUncle Qi has cultivated to Lv. 8. He needs to be imprisoned even though he was merely related?â Xu Jingming was puzzled. âWhat did he do?â
âWu Qi is still very outstanding. Thereâs nothing I can speak ill of,â Keyu said. âI also admire him. Strictly speaking, he was implicated.â
He wanted to understand Uncle Qiâs situation before meeting him.
