808 The Origin of Everything (Finale) (4/9)
However, the Ancestral Mother was the kindest of them all. She had pity for every living being and believed that there was no need for such madness. It would be a blessing if all living beings could coexist peacefully.
Xu Jingming’s Heart Realm possessed the ability to sense the minds and emotions of all living beings. There were countless diverse lifeforms among them, each with their own desires and pursuits. Some were born with a love for combat and killing, so forcing them into a state of peace would only drive them further into darkness and insanity. Therefore, the best approach was to prioritize order, allowing all living beings to follow their own paths and minds.
Due to this, Xu Jingming held a certain bias towards the Ancestral Mother, although he did not fully agree. He provided limited support to the Mother Stream faction.
“World Lord, while we have covertly aided them, a formidable powerhouse has emerged within the Abyssal faction. He possesses great skill in leading armies and has achieved victory time and time again,” explained the figure in the red robe. “In truth, our Heart Realm faction has also produced a powerful individual, but it is not appropriate for us to take a prominent role. We should not interfere excessively.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingming easily identified the two powerhouses, locking his gaze upon them.
One was an Abyssal powerhouse with nine ferocious tails, formidable in combat and adept at leading armies.
The other belonged to the Heart Realm faction, hailing from the Heart Sword lineage.
Neither have found their own paths; their chances of reaching the Ultimate realm are hopeless. One follows the path of the Abyss, while the other belongs to the Heart Realm, both paths established by their predecessors, rendering it impossible for them to attain the Ultimate realm.
“We can increase our support,” declared Xu Jingming. “I do not want the Abyssal faction to gain the upper hand.”
“Yes, World Lord,” the red-robed and gray-robed figures responded respectfully in unison. Their spirits were uplifted as well.
With the orders from the Ultimate existence, the Heart Realm faction would undoubtedly intensify their efforts.
“How is the scientific lineage progressing?” inquired Xu Jingming.
The gray-robed figure below immediately replied with respect, “I have been meticulously monitoring the progress of the scientific lineage. During this Abyssal Era, their advancements have remained stagnant.”
Xu Jingming nodded.
The four Ultimate existences held high expectations for the scientific lineage because it stood independently from their respective schools. Moreover, its achievements could potentially benefit all living beings across infinite spacetime. If the scientific lineage were to achieve a breakthrough, it might give rise to a fifth Ultimate being.
Of the nine seeded powerhouses in the true timeline, there is only a slim chance of reaching the Ultimate realm. However, if the scientific lineage succeeds, the chances would be close to 100%. Nevertheless, as one advances further, progress becomes increasingly difficult. Infinite spacetime holds countless mysteries beyond the reach of scientific analysis, Xu Jingming pondered.
The four Ultimate existences felt a sense of loneliness. They eagerly anticipated the emergence of new companions.
As long as there was a mere 1% chance of reaching the Ultimate realm, the four Ultimate existences would pay attention and even lend their aid.
The scientific lineage held their undivided attention.
Yet, judging from the current state… The birth of a new Ultimate being remained a distant possibility.
Being married to Li Miaomiao, who pursued the scientific lineage, Xu Jingming grew more invested in its progress.
“The Heart Realm Supreme Council will convene in half an Abyssal Era, World Lord,” the gray-robed figure informed. “Will you be attending?”
“I won’t be going since there won’t be any impressive little ones,” Xu Jingming replied.
Suddenly, two figures appeared beside the red-robed and gray-robed attendants. They were Overlord Feuilla and Red Jade Traveler.
“World Lord,” Feuilla and Red Jade Traveler greeted with respectful bows.
“Good job,” Xu Jingming acknowledged with a smile and nod. While he was napping, Overlord Feuilla had been overseeing all the progress in the independent spacetime.
Red Jade Traveler had once obtained the Ultimate legacy of the Abyss lineage but had later joined the Heart Realm camp. This time, he also acted as Xu Jingming’s opponent.
“It is our honor,” Feuilla and Red Jade Traveler humbly replied.
Xu Jingming nodded. Even when he was at the third realm, Feuilla had been a loyal subordinate and often shouldered significant responsibilities.
“Feuilla, has the Abyss Progenitor been contemplating ways to sway you to his side recently?” Xu Jingming inquired with a smile.
“Yes,” Feuilla confirmed, nodding. “Since Red Jade Traveler has joined the World Lord, the Abyss Progenitor naturally desires retribution.”
“Haha, you have been my earliest follower. If he manages to win you over, it would indeed be the ultimate mockery of me. Haha…” Xu Jingming laughed. “The Abyss Progenitor has always had a fondness for battles.”
Red Jade Traveler added, “I was not tempted, World Lord. Instead, I aligned with your will and willingly joined your cause.”
“You were once one of his 72 personal disciples. Considering the Abyss Progenitor’s character, he naturally seeks victory. His thirst for triumph is relentless,” Xu Jingming remarked, well aware of his old adversary’s nature.
“Carry on with your duties. You need not concern yourselves with the independent spacetime any longer. You are dismissed,” Xu Jingming instructed. Now that he was awake, he directed a fragment of his attention to monitor the spacetime.
“Yes, World Lord,” Feuilla and Red Jade Traveler respectfully bowed before departing.
Xu Jingming rose from his seat and silently vanished.
The gray-robed and red-robed attendants stood their ground, patiently awaiting further instructions. They had faithfully served the World Lord for countless years, dutifully relaying his commands.
…
In a vast garden, Xu Jingming gazed upon the plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and various other flowers and plants transplanted from Earth. These botanical wonders thrived here due to the alterations in the rules.
Each flower had undergone a remarkable transformation, rivaling entire universes in their grandeur. However, within this garden, they were mere decorations..
