813 The Origin of Everything (Finale) (9/9)
Xu Jingming didn’t hold much regard for the Xu family beyond his imdiate kin. As for those distant relatives from many generations later, he felt little attachnt towards them.
“It would be splendid to have a few half-step third-realm powerhouses,” Grandpa Xu expressed his anticipation as well.
Xu Jingming contemplated, “If this succeeds, we can repeat the process in the future. Starting anew, again and again… A life of varied growth will allow their minds to reach an ample level.”
“What should be our next course of action?” inquired Grandpa Xu.
“No need to rush,” Xu Jingming replied. “Let them believe… that the wager battle will endure for millions of years. The prolonged nature of the battle will strain their minds. Let them endure it for ten million years.”
Grandpa Xu smiled. “Alright, we shall proceed according to your plan. What cos after the wager battle?”
“Depending on their circumstances when the ti arrives, I will decide whether my wager battle shall succeed or fail, or if I’ll be entangled by the Ultimate existence,” Xu Jingming explained with a smile. “In short, it is all for their growth.”
Grandpa Xu nodded in understanding.
“In the future, I shall also expose them to danger. At tis, I may require your intervention, Grandpa,” Xu Jingming disclosed. “Whether it’s due to our relationship or your superficial role as my grandfather, you will have a reason to interfere.”
“I understand. We must ensure their survival while training them,” Grandpa Xu affird.
“If they happen to perish, it is not an issue. You can help resurrect them. Sotis, the right amount of death also serves as a form of training,” Xu Jingming remarked.
Grandpa Xu smiled and nodded.
The two of them gazed into the distance at the independent spaceti. All their preparations for the future were aid at nurturing their family.
…
In the independent spaceti, within Xu Jingming’s territory, at the old residence.
Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Grandpa Xu, ng Tian, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Li Chen’an and his wife, Xu Fangjin and his wife, Xu Biyun and his wife, as well as the dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and other prominent mbers of the human race, gathered anxiously, awaiting the outco.
“The territory remains intact. Wu Ming hasn’t faltered,” the dean reassured.
“It has been three years, and still no victor,” Mr. Xu fretted. “Judging by the intensity of the battle, their strengths seem evenly matched.”
“In such a situation, either of them could triumph. It all hinges on who breaks through at the crucial mont,” Tower Master observed.
Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, and the rest were too preoccupied to engage in conversation.
“You should all leave,” Connoisseur interjected.
“The battle has continued for an extensive period, with no end in sight. We remain uncertain of how much longer it will last or the disparity in tiscales between the combat spaceti and our own. It could be a million years or even tens of millions,” Connoisseur warned. “You must be prepared. Since the two opponents are evenly matched, anyone could erge defeated, even Wu Ming. In that case… you will need to rely on yourselves in the future.”
“We understand.” Li Miaomiao and the others heeded Connoisseur’s advice, recognizing the significance of the words from a third-realm existence.
“Disperse swiftly. There’s no purpose in congregating here. My young friend, I shall take my leave. Feel free to visit anyti,” Connoisseur inford Grandpa Xu.
“Very well, Senior Connoisseur,” Grandpa Xu replied.
Connoisseur nodded, turned around, and vanished.
The dean sighed with emotion at the sight. “It appears that Connoisseur and Wu Ming share a remarkable bond. While the other third-realm powerhouses have departed, he remained by our side for three years.”
“Let us depart as well. Our presence here serves no purpose in aiding Wu Ming,” Tower Master declared. And one by one, they departed.
The family mbers also dispersed, returning to their respective abodes.
“Mom.” Xu Lixing stood by her mother, Li Miaomiao, her eyes filled with concern. “Will Dad truly lose?”
“I cannot say for certain.” Li Miaomiao responded calmly, “Your father has shielded us for a long ti. Moving forward, we must adapt and rely on ourselves.”
Xu Lixing nodded. “I understand, but I am genuinely worried.”
“In that case, focus on your cultivation. If you beco stronger, your father will be imnsely proud upon his return.” Li Miaomiao gazed into the distant void.
The End.
Author’s Afterword:
This marks the conclusion of our journey through this novel.
Initially, I was brimming with excitent, eager to delve into the realm of Earth’s weapon combat and the challenges of surviving in the vast universe. I aid to explore the conflicts between different factions within the human race and the ruthless nature of civilizations’ competitive spirit. However, as the story progressed, I found myself scaling back those elents. It ultimately boiled down to my own limitations as a writer.
Throughout the novel, the transformation from a low-dinsional lifeform to an Ultimate existence proved to be an arduous feat to truly portray. Hence, my intention was to unveil the protagonist’s true identity in the final monts. In fact, I had sprinkled nurous hints throughout the earlier stages. I wonder if it caught everyone by surprise.
Yes, now that this novel has ended, I’ll take a long break to recharge myself.
As we reach the end, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the readers who have supported this journey. Thank you, everyone!~~
