The Origin of Everything (Finale) (8/9)

The body and mind, those are the twin pillars of life. If my mind’s illusory realm could hold the emotions and desires of countless souls, what would it be like? At that time, Xu Jingming’s illusory realm began to change. Reaching the third realm was already the limit for the illusory realm.

Xu Jingming started to evolve at this very limit. His illusory world aimed to bear the desires, emotions, sins, and consciousness of all living beings…

Xu Jingming ventured further and further down an unfamiliar path.

Wherever he went, the vast Heart Realm reflected everything around it, naturally encompassing the minds and consciousness of innumerable beings. Their desires and emotions took form within the Heart Realm.

“This cannot be called an illusory realm anymore, but rather a world of the mind and heart. I shall name it… the Heart Realm!”

Thus began Xu Jingming’s exploration of the Heart Realm.

Even after his family’s minds became corrupted and distorted, Xu Jingming continued to explore.

To experiment with the Heart Realm, he took charge and became the commander-in-chief of the Mother Stream camp! He surged forward, pushing his way to the forefront and battling the powerful beings from the Abyssal camp.

With each confrontation across the expanses of spacetime, Xu Jingming’s Heart Realm displayed ever greater strength.

As Xu Jingming accumulated the emotions, desires, and other fluctuations of countless beings, he constantly refined his Heart Realm.

He also formed several groups and shared experiences with numerous mighty individuals.

He even divided into incarnations and embarked on a trip, visiting different species and undergoing diverse journeys. He began to undergo all manner of experiences as a multidimensional entity.

…

He employed various methods to perfect his Heart Realm.

Finally, after endless years, Xu Jingming felt that he could no longer advance within the lineage of the Heart Realm. Therefore, like many third-realm powerhouses, he opted for the ultimate step—setting his sights on the Ultimate realm.

On that day, many close friends watched, and Grandpa watched anxiously! Many good friends pledged to take care of the human race, but they didn’t dissuade Xu Jingming from his decision. That was because everyone knew that once a third-realm powerhouse resolved to break through to the Ultimate realm, persuasion became futile.

Finally, Xu Jingming immolated himself—everything—and infinite energy flowed back into infinite spacetime.

At the moment of his demise, when he merged completely with infinite spacetime, Xu Jingming perceived all the parallel spacetimes.

Death preceding rebirth was undertaken to perceive all parallel spacetimes.

Countless parallel spacetimes existed. Third-realm powerhouses usually could only sense the spacetime they resided in, and the other spacetimes remained hazy. Only by sacrificing their lives could they briefly sense all of spacetime upon returning to it.

Upon sensing the parallel spacetimes, Xu Jingming’s consciousness soared. He imprinted the laws of the Heart Realm, which he had studied for a long time, onto the laws of infinite spacetime. Then, his awareness descended into darkness.

Later on, Xu Jingming awakened.

Death preceding rebirth. Success meant attaining the Ultimate.

The laws of the Heart Realm seamlessly merged with the infinite spacetime, benefiting its circulation. Henceforth, Xu Jingming’s laws became an integral part of the fundamental laws of infinite spacetime.

If his laws could merge with the laws of infinite spacetime, he would become the bedrock of its existence.

The four Ultimate beings are also the cornerstones and pillars of infinite spacetime. Our presence can render infinite spacetime more flawless, stable, and powerful. Xu Jingming understood this fact very well.

With each additional Ultimate being, infinite spacetime gained greater stability and strength, while the cultivation system became more refined.

Forging a new path that harmonizes with the circulation of infinite spacetime is undeniably challenging—it must possess enough strength and perfection to become the very foundation of infinite spacetime. Despite being an Ultimate being, Xu Jingming found this path exceedingly arduous.

Prior to breaking through to the Ultimate realm, he was uncertain if it would be fully compatible or if he had accumulated enough. However, he could not progress any further and thus took that leap.

For instance, a multitude of third-realm powerhouses had attempted that leap and failed to imprint their laws. They had truly perished.

Only through successful imprinting could one be resurrected, utilizing their own laws.

Numerous beings have traversed this path, but only four have succeeded. I am one of them. Naturally, Xu Jingming concealed information about himself following his success. The external world remained oblivious to the identity of the Master of the Heart Realm, the experiences he had undergone, and the species he hailed from.

Unless Xu Jingming permitted it, those below the status of an Ultimate being would receive no information about him.

…

Xu Jingming suddenly sensed a presence and turned his gaze to the side. He spotted a figure materializing in the garden—it was the smiling Connoisseur.

“Grandpa,” Xu Jingming greeted with a smile.

Very few individuals were privy to the knowledge of the Master of the Heart Realm. Few knew of the true connection between Connoisseur and the Master of the Heart Realm, and even fewer were aware of the relationship between the human race and the Master of the Heart Realm.

“How was the Abyssal Era?” Connoisseur smiled. “I’ve been cautious, fearing that I might awaken you and disrupt your plans.”

Xu Jingming had decided to awaken following the wager battle at the conclusion of the Abyssal Era. Overlord Feuilla and Connoisseur naturally had to uphold this decision.

Consequently, the other members of the family were tense about the wager, but Connoisseur remained unfazed. His eldest grandson was an Ultimate being capable of establishing spacetime effortlessly and resurrecting countless living beings.

“It went well. I made some progress in the psychic weapon lineage.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “But that’s not important. What matters is Miaomiao and the others.”

Grandpa Xu nodded. “Your arrangements for the wager were commendable. Under the threat of the wager, they toiled diligently during the Abyssal Era and held the Xu family to stringent standards. The Xu family has made significant advancements compared to the actual timeline.”
