563 Registration (2)
This was because even ordinary Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms couldn’t protect an auxiliary universe.
Xu Jingming didn’t even dare to make it public now!
“Registration successful,” the virtual world network inquired. “Do you need to buy a high-dimensional door to completely seal off this space? A high-dimensional door requires 3 quadrillion cosmic dollars or 30 million credits.”
“Purchase for 3 quadrillion cosmic dollars.” Xu Jingming didn’t hesitate.
High-dimensional doors were high-dimensional items refined by Paramounts. Of course, they were much easier to refine than ordinary high-dimensional weapons. They could only seal an area of spacetime, so they were much cheaper.
However, this price was a dream for most Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms.
…
Xu Jingming stood in space. Actually, it’s very difficult to detect an auxiliary universe. I could only observe it from high-dimensional space.
And the universe is vast and boundless. Every time I enter high-dimensional space, I only observe an area of about ten light-years. The range is too small, Xu Jingming thought. Strictly speaking, I’ve killed Hellions numerous times over the years and have used high-dimensional traveling.
Especially in the Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector—I’ve used high-dimensional traveling too many times and observed many places. That’s why I made this auxiliary universe discovery. Xu Jingming smiled.
In fact, after observing so many places in high-dimensional space, it was still very tiny compared to the entire Heavenly Python Cosmic Sector!
It did require luck to encounter one.
It was even harder for other Origin lifeforms to discover auxiliary universes. Typically, Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms who grasped high-dimensional powers would only discover them when their high-dimensional powers broke through the obstructions of spacetime and touched the conduits of the auxiliary universe. The probability of discovering them was clearly lower.
Therefore, the discovery of every auxiliary universe required luck.
Another mission? Xu Jingming suddenly received a mission. The 81st wave of plundering, right?
He instantly crossed distant spacetime and headed close to his target. Then, he descended beside the Hellion using high-dimensional traveling!
******
The large-scale plundering operation lasted for a total of 87 waves before ending. Xu Jingming also killed a total of 89 Hellion Overlords! He also discovered Hellion Sovereigns midway, but he turned around and left.
Black Iron.
Xu Jingming, Jane, and Yijiu were having a meal when a gray-robed envoy suddenly arrived.
“You’re here?” Yijiu held the wine flask and shouted immediately, “Settle Junior Brother Wu Ming’s accounts first. His is much more than us.”
The gray-robed envoy smiled and walked over.
“Lord Wu Ming killed a total of 89 Hellion Overlords in this operation, which is 8.9 million credits.” The gray-robed envoy looked at Mr. Jane. “Lord Jane, you killed a Hellion Sovereign and a Hellion Overlord, totaling 1.1 million credits. Lord Yijiu killed a Hellion Sovereign, totaling 1 million credits.”
Yijiu shook his head and sighed when he heard that. “Junior Brother Wu Ming’s account settlement makes earning credit seem easy. That’s tens of millions of credits in a few years. As for us, we work hard for years, and I’ve even killed one Sovereign this instance. Sometimes, I don’t get to kill a single one.”
“Junior Brother Wu Ming is impressive. He is deployed to the other two cosmic sectors when they encounter large-scale plundering.” Senior Brother Jane sighed with emotion.
He could arrive at another cosmic sector in about a minute. Even if he couldn’t intercept the first wave, he could intercept the subsequent dozens of waves. Therefore, Xu Jingming’s speed of accumulating credit was indeed astonishing.
“Actually, I only killed one of the two discovered Hellion Sovereigns. The other fled too quickly.” Yijiu shook his head. “If I had Junior Brother Jane’s means of trapping the enemy, my efficiency would’ve increased.”
Hellion Sovereigns usually focused on escape methods, so they were naturally extraordinary.
“I’m much inferior to you in terms of traveling speed,” Jane said.
“I retreat whenever I see a Hellion Sovereign,” Xu Jingming said. He was focused on bullying Hellion Overlords!
“Quickly count the spoils of war,” Yijiu urged.
In terms of spoils of war, Xu Jingming received 1922 trillion cosmic dollars, Jane received 102 trillion cosmic dollars, and Yijiu received 80 trillion cosmic dollars.
“These Hellion Sovereigns come to the battlefield with too few treasures. They are too poor.” Yijiu shook his head.
“That is all for the settlement,” the gray-robed envoy said with a smile. “Please remember to pay your taxes.”
With that said, he dissipated into the void.
“Yeah, taxes.”
Yijiu shook his head. “We have to pay 50% tax on the spoils of war. There will also be taxes on all kinds of investment in the future. It’s not easy to earn money.”
Xu Jingming didn’t have any complaints. Be it maintaining the operations of the entire cosmic human race or the large number of cosmic wonders and high-dimensional objects the three Paramounts had provided to generations of humans, it wasn’t a trivial task.
Although credit and cosmic dollars were needed to exchange for items, what was the point of credit and cosmic dollars to the three Paramounts? The three Paramounts were the ones making the contributions.
For example, the dean of the Primordial Research Institute had given him Primordial Battle Armor #9 just because he recognized his potential.
…
That night.
On an ordinary habitable planet, Xu Jingming received a high-dimensional door from a Cosmic Human Alliance envoy.
Whoosh.
Crossing distant spacetime, Xu Jingming arrived in space.
I’ll set up the high-dimensional door first. Xu Jingming escaped the restraints of cosmic spacetime with a thought and arrived in high-dimensional space, observing the connection between the universe and the auxiliary universe.
“There are two ways to set up a high-dimensional door. The first is to use high-dimensional strength to break through the connecting tunnel and enter it. The other method is to use a method like high-dimensional traveling to enter the connecting tunnel directly before setting it up,” Nine said.
Xu Jingming nodded.
Whoosh.
A high-dimensional descent could descend at any node in the surrounding universe.
At this moment, he descended to the connection point with the auxiliary universe.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming felt pressured, but he still entered and arrived at a dark void tunnel.
Let’s set it up.
Xu Jingming reached out and took out a dark-green round shield from the Primordial Battle Armor’s auxiliary space. The patterns on the round shield were layered and seemingly endless.
Xu Jingming didn’t think too much about it and followed the ‘usage instructions’ the virtual world had provided. He placed the round shield at the cosmic connection and allowed it to hover there.
“Release,” Xu Jingming ordered.
“Yes, sir,” the round shield said.
The layers of patterns on the round shield suddenly began to spread out!
Boom!
Countless patterns crazily extended in all directions, quickly seeping into this spacetime and constantly expanding.
Xu Jingming carefully watched this process and vaguely understood a portion of it. This is the formation of a new spacetime layer? There’s no such spacetime layer in ordinary cosmic spacetime. No, it exceeds the scope of the spacetime layer. It should be the sealing of a high-dimensional connection…
At this moment, Xu Jingming could only sigh at his lack of knowledge.
High-dimensional doors weren’t expensive—3 quadrillion cosmic dollars—but the knowledge they contained was beyond imagination.
Buzz.
It lasted for more than three hours before the high-dimensional door completely opened and fused into the connection point. It spread to an area with a diameter of more than 300,000 kilometers, and the connection point’s diameter was actually less than 90,000 kilometers.
The high-dimensional door completely sealed it off the connection!
I succeeded. This auxiliary universe is completely mine. Xu Jingming turned to look at the dark void tunnel.
I’ll take a look. Xu Jingming looked forward to it.
“Master, be careful. Nobody knows what’s in an unexcavated auxiliary universe,” Nine reminded. “However, don’t worry too much! With your high-dimensional traveling and my help, the probability of your death is very low.”
“Even if I die, I’ll be revived in the future! There’s no need to worry about me being lost. Secretary General Blacksky will enter through the high-dimensional door and take me away,” Nine said.
“Say something auspicious.” Xu Jingming curled his lips and quietly walked into the dark void.
