609 Uncle Qi

In his personal s.p.a.ce.

Tejano walked out of the void and smiled. “Xu Jingming, you haven’t contacted me for more than 100 years… Huh?”

Tejano’s heart trembled when he saw the person in front of him.

Although Xu Jingming’s appearance hadn’t changed, and he was wearing a pitch-black robe… Even in the virtual world, the invisible aura made Tejano’s heart palpitate!

Over the centuries, Tejano had seen all kinds of people—s.p.a.ce pirates with hands stained with blood, powerful slave owners, and some twisted existences in Origin lifeforms. However, none of them were as terrifying as Xu Jingming!

Xu Jingming’s aura was dark and crazy, as if it wanted to drown out all rationality.

“Xu Jingming, what’s wrong with you?” Tejano was a little worried. “Is it because of the high-dimensional corruption?”

He knew Xu Jingming too well. This was because he was once in charge of protecting the weak emerging civilization, Earth. Xu Jingming wasn’t even born when he arrived on Earth!

Therefore, Tejano knew every stage Xu Jingming had undergone in his surveillance records—from Xu Jingming’s birth to his infancy, childhood, youth, teenage years… He was familiar with every step of Xu Jingming’s growth.

Xu Jingming entered Blood Rain World and pa.s.sed the selection in the mysterious land before finally entering the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute. It was also thanks to Tejano’s guidance.

In the past 100 years, Xu Jingming had temporarily cut off contact with his friends because of the high-dimensional corruption. Xu Jingming had always kept in touch with Tejano prior to that.

“Yeah.” Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. “The effects of high-dimensional corruption are very thorough.”

“Have you begged the Paramounts for help?” Tejano asked. “Why don’t I ask my father?”

“The dean and the others have tried.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “There’s nothing they can do about it.”

“Then…” Tejano also felt a headache.

Xu Jingming smiled. “Don’t worry about me. High-dimensional corruption looks terrifying, but as long as I grasp the high-dimensional powers of this corruption, I don’t have to worry.”

“You definitely know more about the evolutionary path than me.” Tejano nodded. “If you need my help, feel free to ask.”

“Yeah.”

Xu Jingming smiled and said, “I just wanted to have a chat with you. How have you been recently?”

“Me?” Tejano smiled and said, “I’m still the same old guy with a temper; I just can’t stop myself from meddling in matters I can’t stand and take action when needed. Therefore, I caused quite a bit of trouble! Sigh, although I knew during my studies that the compet.i.tion between countless civilizations in the cosmic human race is cruel and that there is a lot of darkness internally, I can’t help it when I truly experience it!”

Xu Jingming nodded. “There are countless humans in the cosmic human race. There are outstanding talents, and there is naturally sc.u.m.”

“Yes, sc.u.m. That’s why you need a scavenger like me to clean up the trash.” Tejano’s eyes were cold, but he immediately smiled and said, “There were a few times when I caused serious trouble and implicated my father! Although my father criticized me, he didn’t stop me. Haha…”

Tejano raised his gla.s.s. “I understand what my father was implying. If he doesn’t stop me, it means that he agrees with my actions.”

Deputy Dean Redmond was the strongest cosmic legend of the Cosmic Human Alliance and was in charge of the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute! He also had a high status at the Cosmic Human Alliance headquarters. Therefore, whenever Tejano got into serious trouble and it reached the highest bra.s.s, Redmond was always the one responsible for dealing with it.

“However, you have to be careful,” Xu Jingming exhorted. “Although Deputy Dean Redmond is impressive, he can’t do whatever he wants in the Cosmic Human Alliance. You still have to consider the consequences.”

“If the consequences are within tolerable limits, you can make a move. If it’s beyond your level of tolerance… you can come to me if you really want it done.” Xu Jingming grinned. “I’m corrupted by high-dimensional powers. It’s understandable for me to go crazy occasionally.”

Tejano glared. “Xu Jingming, you’ve changed.”

“People will always change,” Xu Jingming replied.

Tejano smiled, but he had a bad feeling.

If Tejano was to be punished, the Cosmic Human Alliance’s upper echelons could decide after discussion.

But to punish Xu Jingming, it had to be decided by the dean and the others! The three Paramounts descending to save Xu Jingming at the same time represented their att.i.tude.

If Xu Jingming causes harm by controlling his level of madness, it will probably be difficult for the Cosmic Human Alliance to restrain him. Moreover, the Cosmic Human Alliance won’t disturb the three Paramounts unless it’s serious to a certain extent. Tejano knew this very well.

n.o.body wanted to disturb the three Paramounts.

It was very rare for a consciousness clone to descend! Therefore, the three Paramounts wouldn’t be involved unless Xu Jingming went crazy to a certain extent!

Secretary General Blacksky had previously warned Xu Jingming because he was worried that Xu Jingming would make Abyssal Void’s projection descend into reality, wiping out all life in a radius of more than ten light-years. If he carried out such large-scale ma.s.sacres repeatedly, it meant that Xu Jingming had completely lost control.

It was definitely intolerable.

…

After drinking and chatting with Xu Jingming, Tejano left.

After he left, he returned to his personal s.p.a.ce.

“Father.” Tejano contacted his father, Redmond.

The wide and fat Redmond smiled at his son. Although his son had often caused trouble over the years, Redmond was very satisfied. He even tacitly agreed with his son’s actions! This was because he felt that there was indeed some trash in the cosmic human race that needed to be ‘cleaned up.’ It was just that he couldn’t find any flaws from a legal point of view. His son’s barbaric behavior was more effective.

He acquiesced.

Some large factions in the universe also understood that Redmond tacitly agreed with his son’s actions.

“I met Xu Jingming,” Tejano said.

“You met him?” Redmond frowned slightly.

“We met in the virtual world,” Tejano immediately said.

Only then did Redmond relax.

Being corrupted by third-realm high-dimensional powers, Redmond couldn’t be completely at ease with Xu Jingming.

“I sensed a huge change in him,” Tejano said worriedly. “Although he looks very clear-minded and still treats me as a friend, he said… that he can ‘occasionally go crazy’ to help me with problems I can’t resolve.”

“I’m very worried about his state,” Tejano continued worriedly. “I’ve watched him grow. He has an outstanding personality, but the current him…”

“Don’t worry.” Redmond smiled and said, “To know how to use ‘occasional madness’ to do things means that he’s very calm and rational.”

“Very calm and rational?” Tejano was puzzled.

“To be able to exploit his madness means he’s calm,” Redmond remarked. “Don’t worry. The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute, s.p.a.cetime Island, and even Eternal Academy have been paying attention to Xu Jingming. At least from the looks of it, he’s in quite a good state.”

“Quite good?” Tejano blinked. “You call that quite good? I really don’t understand what you big shots think.”

“It’s much better than we expected. In just 100 years, he has gained basic mastery of the high-dimensional corruption,” Redmond said. “However, don’t meet him in reality because he will become even more dangerous in the coming days.”

“More dangerous?” Tejano was surprised.

Redmond nodded slightly.

After all, he was in charge of the entire Primordial Research Inst.i.tute. Secretary General Blacksky would tell him everything he knew, allowing him to understand… that Xu Jingming was carrying out the ‘imitation method.’ The further he went, the more dangerous it became.

“Is there a way to help him?” Tejano asked.

“He has to walk out of the high-dimensional corruption himself. n.o.body can help him,” Redmond said. “In short, don’t meet him in reality.”

Tejano nodded slightly. He was worried about his friend, but there was nothing he could do.

Over the years, there were many things he found himself powerless with. For example, he could do whatever he wanted among the countless civilizations of the Cosmic Human Alliance, but there were many things he couldn’t stand and couldn’t change.

In a restaurant in the Demon Vanquishing World.

Xu Jingming drank alone.

Very few people outside Earth have a profound influence on me. Xu Jingming looked out the window. Tejano is one. Uncle Qi is next.

That year, Xu Jingming was still very young—only 32 years old.

He chose to hone his mind and will and came to the Demon Vanquishing World! Here, he got to know Wu Qi.

In the next ten-plus years, Xu Jingming and Uncle Qi spent time together and adventured together. The deep relationship formed from spending more than ten years together… made them virtually family.

How long had Xu Jingming spent with his parents and wife?

Whoosh.

A figure appeared from the void—it was a gray-robed man. He sat opposite Xu Jingming with a smile. “Brother Wu Ming.”

“Brother Keyu.” Xu Jingming nodded. “Sorry to trouble you all these years.”

“Brother Wu Ming, you got me to take care of Wu Qi, so I naturally had to put some effort into it,” the gray-robed man said with a smile. “Things have been quite smooth for Wu Qi in the past 500 years. He only encountered some trouble in recent years. I couldn’t hold it down either, so I could only give him a slap on the wrist based on the situation and demoted him to be in charge of a prison planet.”

“I said that even if Uncle Qi goes through ups and downs, it’s fine if he encounters something. As long as you help me protect him at critical moments,” Xu Jingming said.

He couldn’t ask for too much from others.

It was very normal for a person’s life to have ups and downs! Xu Jingming only needed Brother Keyu’s help to ensure that Uncle Qi didn’t suffer a serious setback.

“I’m ashamed.” Keyu shook his head.

“Brother Keyu, with your status and being the person in charge of the Demon Vanquishing Group, is there anything you can’t handle in the Demon Vanquishing Group?” Xu Jingming asked curiously.

Keyu shook his head. “Brother Wu Ming, I’m only a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. Although I’m in charge of managing the Demon Vanquishing Group, the trouble Wu Qi encountered… exceeds the Demon Vanquishing Group’s jurisdiction. According to the Qingfang civilization, many people will be executed. Even Wu Qi—who is related to them—was originally going to be imprisoned! I stepped in and got the Qingfang civilization to ultimately let him off lightly. Wu Qi still needed to be demoted.”

“Uncle Qi has cultivated to Lv. 8. He needs to be imprisoned even though he was merely related?” Xu Jingming was puzzled. “What did he do?”

“Wu Qi is still very outstanding. There’s nothing I can speak ill of,” Keyu said. “I also admire him. Strictly speaking, he was implicated.”

Xu Jingming listened.

He wanted to understand Uncle Qi’s situation before meeting him.
