Li Miaomiao blinked when she heard that. “Indeed.”

Xu Jingming looked up at the sky. “When you suddenly realize that those few formulas and theorems explain the vast laws of the universe, you will be shocked. This is the power of knowledge.”

“After understanding the knowledge, you can use a little flame to unleash the power to destroy stars. But at the same time, it can transform a desolate planet into an inhabitable planet.” Xu Jingming’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “I really want to become an Origin lifeform. An Origin lifeform can control Cosmic Force. As long as I grasp the knowledge, I can use Cosmic Force to realize all kinds of ideas.”

Li Miaomiao smiled and said, “Who doesn’t want to become an Origin lifeform? Everyone on Earth looks forward to someone becoming an Origin lifeform, but it’s too difficult! It takes countless galaxies and tens of thousands of years to produce an Origin lifeform.”

“Yeah, it’s too difficult.” Xu Jingming nodded. Even after obtaining the core volume of the Paramount cosmic human legacy, Primordial Star Conjecture, it would still take him a long time to become an Origin lifeform.

Xu Jingming focused back on his science.

The accumulation of scientific knowledge could also allow him to have a deeper understanding of Light Rays. Only by understanding the existence of the Primordial Star could the effects of his visualization be better.

…

The accumulation of knowledge needed time. No matter how streamlined the process was, one had to do it slowly at a steady pace.

He studied life in the Demon Vanquishing World and mentally refined demons. In reality, he studied humanities and science while researching Light Rays.

Xu Jingming improved every day, and he felt that time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had been ten years since he became a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform.

Earth, Binhai City.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

With the school bell ringing, many students walked out of campus.

“See you in the virtual world tonight.”

“Class 2, don’t you flee tonight if you have the guts. Let’s do a 5v5! Class 1 will fight it out with you.”

“Bring it on!”

The students spoke excitedly.

As minors, they still had to attend classes in school during the day and interact with their peers. They could only enter the virtual world when they returned home.

“Look, it’s Xu Lixing.”

“Xu Lixing from Year 1 Class 3.”

“Her father is Earth’s number one, Xu Jingming, who became a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform less than two years after the evolutionary method became widespread. Xu Lixing is 12 this year, and she’s also number one in the junior division’s global competition. How impressive.”

The group of students looked at a girl in the distance as if they were looking at a celebrity.

Xu Lixing was indeed a big star on Earth; she had been the center of attention since she was in kindergarten. A large number of media outlets followed her and reported on her.

“Let’s go home.” Xu Lixing boarded a small aircraft by the side of the road.

Such small aircraft were still very common on Earth, and there were more than ten million of them worldwide. It was believed that they would completely replace cars in a few decades.

“Alright.” Five, the butler robot, sat in the aircraft and personally came to pick her up.

“Auntie Five.” Xu Lixing couldn’t help but say, “Ever since I became world champion of the junior division, people take pictures of me wherever I go.”

“Lixing, haven’t you gotten used to it since you were a child?” Five smiled.

“It’s different. It’s much crazier now than in the past; it’s quite irritating.” Xu Lixing held her forehead, but there was still a hint of excitement in her eyes. She loved the feeling of being sought after.

Five said, “According to your father, you only reached Lv. 5 at the age of 12. There are billions among the civilizations in the universe that are more talented than you.”

“I’m world champion!” Xu Lixing glared.

“But your father taught you martial arts since you were a child. You took nearly ten years to reach Lv. 5,” Five said.

“I’ve already worked very hard. My parents are very strict. I reached Lv. 3 at the age of seven, and Lv. 4 at the age of ten. I became world champion of the junior division at Lv. 5 this year. Who wouldn’t give me a thumbs-up when talking about me? Speaking of which, my father was only at Lv. 5 at the age of 30! Hmph, let’s see how I surpass him in the future,” Xu Lixing said.

“Lixing, all of us, including your father, look forward to you surpassing him,” Five remarked.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Xu Lixing was in high spirits and filled with fighting spirit when she first became world champion.

Soon, the aircraft landed in her courtyard.

“Dad, Mom.” The moment Xu Lixing walked out of the aircraft, she ran to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao.

Xu Jingming looked at his 12-year-old daughter. As she cultivated the evolutionary method all year round, she was standing tall at 1.75 meters. She was already a grown woman.

The older his daughter became, the more worried Xu Jingming became. He didn’t know which lad would be lucky to have her in the future, so he had to be strict.

“Have some fruit.” Li Miaomiao pointed at the fruit platter beside her.

“I ate some snacks on the way. I’ll enter the virtual world first. Call me when it’s dinnertime,” Xu Lixing said before heading straight for her bedroom. Then, she closed the door and put on her VR headset.

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao looked at each other.

“She just greeted me before heading upstairs.” Xu Jingming shook his head.

“She used to pester me.” Li Miaomiao also glanced at the fruits in front of her. “She doesn’t even eat the fruits that I prepare now. A grown daughter isn’t something her mother can control.”

“Our daughter has also reached Lv. 5. She will become a cosmic lifeform in a while and can also have a separate virtual chamber,” Xu Jingming said. “Do you insist on cultivating to become a cosmic lifeform yourself?”

“I’m still young. I want to try my hand at it.” Li Miaomiao’s attitude was very firm.

Xu Jingming nodded and smiled. “Alright, it’s your choice.”

In his family, other than him, his father—Xu Hong—had independently broken through to Lv. 5 two years ago and became a cosmic lifeform. In fact, from the moment he obtained the evolutionary method, his father had cultivated for 11 years before reaching Lv. 5.

As for his mother, grandfather, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, they were relatively inferior in this aspect. They had already been promoted to cosmic lifeforms through external forces.

According to Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao’s decision, they were only willing to spend money to advance close relatives to cosmic lifeforms via external forces.

This was the reason why most cosmic lifeforms in the entire cosmic human race had broken through via external forces! A single person’s rise naturally helped their loved ones. It was even because cosmic lifeforms had very long lifespans that they could influence future generations and eventually form a huge family.

…

Virtual world, Xu Jingming’s personal space.

Xu Jingming sat on the sofa and opened his personal combat strength interface—

Genetic Evolutionary Method: Heavenly Python Evolution (Perfected Cosmic Lifeform)

Physique: 1.06 billion

Technique: Spearmanship (Lv. 8 97%), Shield Technique (Lv. 8 95%), Sword Technique (Lv. 8 93%), Saber Technique (Lv. 8 92%), Staff Technique (Lv. 8 95%), Footwork (Lv. 8 98%), Concealed Weapons (Lv. 8 87%)

Basic Combat Strength: 530 billion

Energy: 106 billion

Combat Bonus: 63×

Combat Strength: 40 trillion (Please follow the Cosmic Human Alliance’s rules)

Xu Jingming looked at the data and nodded slightly. With the Primordial Research Institute’s Paramount legacy core volume, I’ve indeed cultivated my body to the limit of Lv. 8 in ten years. However, the limit of Lv. 8 is still far from an Origin lifeform.

Xu Jingming knew this very well.

He tapped gently and opened the hidden data on his personal interface—

Mental Strength: 5631

This was the data from this year’s test.

It’s very easy to increase one’s mental strength index in the early stages. The average stats for geniuses in the Primordial Research Institute is to have their mental strength index break through 5,000 after 35 years of cultivation as a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform. 9,000 after 390 years… Typically, they become an Origin lifeform under 1,000 years of age.

As for me, my mental strength index exceeded 5,000 in ten years. According to the same ratio, I should be able to become an Origin lifeform in about 200 years, Xu Jingming thought.

He reached the limit of Lv. 8 in ten years. But at the same speed, it would take him 200 years to become an Origin lifeform.

Becoming an Origin lifeform required 20 times the time needed to reach the limit of Lv. 8, and this was under the premise that one could keep improving. Many peak Lv. 8s gave up in despair after a long time. This also made the number of Origin lifeforms among cosmic humans extremely small.

According to the Primordial Research Institute’s evaluation, my mental strength has improved relatively quickly. Xu Jingming sighed with emotion. Yet at this speed, it will take me 200 years to become an Origin lifeform?
