The hotel lobby was filled with joy. Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao kept receiving red packets until their bags were full.

“Grandson, Granddaughter-in-law.” Grandpa Xu walked over with a red packet.

“Grandpa,” Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao greeted.

Grandpa Xu smiled at the two of them as if he was brought back to his wedding. He and his wife had a few bumps in their marriage at the beginning, but as time passed, they became familiar with each other. With every word and gaze, they understood each other’s thoughts and became even more loving.

However, his wife left this world ahead of him.

He originally believed that he would soon join her at his age! Who would’ve thought that with the ushering in of Life Evolution, he could continue on living? Although his lifespan was much longer and his life was much more exciting, he didn’t have a wife to share it with.

“From today onward,” Grandpa Xu exhorted, “the two of you will be husband and wife. What does it mean by ‘husband and wife?’ No matter what happens, the two of you will be one. You have to face problems together! Educate your children together, face your careers together, face setbacks together. Your fates will truly be connected…”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao listened obediently.

“Support each other, and the future will be much easier,” Grandpa Xu said. “If a couple doesn’t share the same mind, the path will be much harder.”

“It’s a blissful thing to find a lover who you can connect your heart with and spend the rest of your lives together with.” Grandpa Xu looked at his grandchildren and said, “You have to cherish each other.”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

“Miaomiao.” Li Chen’an and his wife also walked up to the couple.

“Dad, Mom,” Li Miaomiao greeted, and Xu Jingming did the same.

Li Chen’an and his wife hugged their daughter.

Their daughter was their baby, and they had protected her for more than 20 years. From today onward… Their daughter would be with her husband.

“Miaomiao.” Mrs. Li hugged her daughter, her eyes moistening. “You got married today, and you’re going to have children in the future. You can’t be too willful anymore; you have to learn to grow up.”

Li Miaomiao hugged her mother and nodded.

Li Chen’an gazed at Xu Jingming. “Jingming, Miaomiao is the most important treasure in my life. We used to protect her, and in the future… I’ll leave it to you. Don’t disappoint me!”

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll definitely take good care of Miaomiao,” Xu Jingming promised.

“If you dare bully her, I won’t let you off.” Li Chen’an stared at his son-in-law.

Xu Jingming looked at Li Miaomiao beside him.

“Dad, I believe in Jingming,” Li Miaomiao said.

…

In the virtual world.

In the vast cosmos, guests from all over the world sat around. There were tables in front of them, and on each of them were exquisite delicacies. They were all the best delicacies in the virtual world, and even if they were made in reality, they would also be very expensive.

There were too many guests—Li Miaomiao’s many friends and Xu Jingming’s many friends! His friends in the martial arts circle and the many friends he had made in the virtual world were all invited.

“Wow!”

“How beautiful.”

“Cool!” Their relatives and friends cheered.

On a dazzling galaxy, Li Chen’an held his daughter’s hand and walked along one edge of the galaxy. Xu Jingming walked on the other side of the galaxy toward them.

When they reached the center of the galaxy, Li Chen’an handed his daughter’s hand to Xu Jingming.

At this moment, Li Miaomiao was wearing a white wedding dress that was twinkling with endless starlight and was dazzling. Xu Jingming held his wife’s hand and nodded slightly at his father-in-law, Li Chen’an, before walking to the front of the galaxy with her.

“Miaomiao, from today onward, the two of us will go through life hand in hand,” Xu Jingming said as he held her hand.

“Don’t let go,” Li Miaomiao said.

“Definitely.” Xu Jingming smiled. “Oh right, shouldn’t we have a child after we get married?”

“Daddy, have you thought of the child’s name?” Li Miaomiao asked. “What would the name be if it’s a boy? What if it’s a girl?”

“Mommy, it’s too difficult to name a child. Let’s do it together,” Xu Jingming said.

As the two spoke, they walked to the end of the galaxy.

In the virtual world’s personal space.

Xu Jingming thought about it alone. Although he had discussed many things with Miaomiao, the exchange list contained too many secrets. The Earth Alliance prohibited Xu Jingming and the others from leaking the information. Even the resources selected had to be used on themselves.

After all, the Earth Alliance’s intention was to groom the world’s top geniuses.

First, I need a complete legacy, Xu Jingming thought. This way, the path forward will be much clearer. Therefore, I have to choose a Lv. 8 legacy.

I’ve possessed the cosmic legend, Xuan, so the Lv. 8 legacy I choose should also be a spearmanship legacy. It will be better if it suits Xuan better, Xu Jingming thought. By synergizing the possession opportunity and the Lv. 8 legacy, it made his comprehension easier.

A Lv. 8 legacy requires 50 contribution points, Xu Jingming thought. I still have 50 contribution points left.

Hmm…

I have to spend some effort on shield techniques. I can use one to verify the other by advancing on different paths simultaneously, Xu Jingming thought. Mental tempering is also very important.

…

On the night of January 5, after several days of thought, Xu Jingming confirmed his exchange and began contacting the virtual world officials.

“Hello, Xu Jingming.” In an empty space, a cyan-shirted woman smiled and said, “May I ask what you wish to exchange for?”

“First, I need a complete Lv. 8 spearmanship legacy,” Xu Jingming said. “The higher the compatibility between this legacy and Xuan’s spearmanship, the better.”

Xuan’s spearmanship that turned into light left Xu Jingming obsessed. After all, he had pursued speed since he started practicing spearmanship as a child.

He was willing to continue down this path.

“The cosmic legend, Xuan, left behind three spearmanship legacies,” the cyan-shirted woman said. “The most precious one is a legendary spearmanship manual, ‘Beam Transformation.’ This spearmanship manual is divided into three volumes. The first volume discusses Lv. 1 to Lv. 8. The second volume discusses Lv. 9 and Lv. 10. The third volume discusses the ultimate move. The ultimate move can greatly distort spacetime and can reach the speed of light. Its might is unimaginable.”

“Can I choose the first volume of Beam Transformation?” Xu Jingming asked.

“Okay.” The cyan-shirted woman nodded. “50 contribution points.”

“Alright, I’ll choose it,” Xu Jingming said.

“Done, it’s been recorded.” The cyan-shirted woman nodded. “May I ask what else you need to exchange for?”

Xu Jingming said, “I need to possess a Lv. 10 expert who uses shield techniques. The higher the compatibility between his shield technique and mine, the better.”

“Filtering…”

The cyan-shirted woman paused for three seconds before saying, “According to the analysis of all your past combat videos, a Lv. 10 shield expert, Ambro, has been confirmed. His shield technique has a compatibility of 99.9321% with you.”

Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. Filtering?

They were probably selected from the historical records of cosmic civilizations, so they could filter out those with such high compatibility.

“Confirmed. I’ll possess this Lv. 10 shield expert, Ambro,” Xu Jingming said.

“It has been recorded. Do you need to exchange for a shield technique legacy?” the cyan-shirted woman asked.

“There’s no need.” Xu Jingming shook his head gently.

In his understanding, be it spears, shields, axes… All kinds of weapons were only an extension of the body. The core of any legacy was the body. When the strength and speed produced by the body became more terrifying, any weapon used became terrifying as well.

Just like Xuan—the spear in his hand eventually turned into light.

After reaching that realm, he could turn into light even while wielding a shield or ax! He could even turn into light with his bare hands. Spears… were only the most suitable weapon for Xuan.

The first volume of the ‘Beam Transformation’ legacy also contained Lv. 1 to Lv. 8. This guided him in evolving his body and raising his control. As for how to use shield techniques in combat? Possessing that Lv. 10 expert gave a clear direction.

“I also need an A-grade Mental Tempering Crystal,” Xu Jingming said.

An A-grade Mental Tempering Crystal cost 10 contribution points.

“It’s already been recorded.” The cyan-shirted woman nodded. “Do you need to exchange for any other resources?”

“Not for now,” Xu Jingming said.

A complete Lv. 8 legacy, possession of a Lv. 10 shield expert, and an A-grade Mental Tempering Crystal cost a total of 70 contribution points. He still had 30 contribution points left, used in the event he encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. He could then make a choice based on his needs.

“Xu Jingming, your exchange request has been confirmed. At 8 a.m. on January 6, Beijing time, an aircraft will arrive at your residence, pick you up, and send you to Binhai City to collect the resources,” the cyan-shirted woman said.

Xu Jingming nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.
