Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 594

594 Awakening

Spacetime Island Lord looked at Xu Jingming and extended her right hand. Her palm was fair, but it seemed to hide endless spacetime, causing Redmond’s mind and consciousness to sink into it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Spacetime Island Lord immediately produced an endless high-dimensional river with guidance from her palm.

It was countless times larger than a cosmic river of spacetime. Even a universe was as tiny as gravel in front of it.

This is the Mother Stream! It nurtures the end of all cosmic spacetime. Redmond watched in amazement.

He knew that the universe didn’t exist a long, long time ago! The Mother Stream later came into existence, giving birth to universes and resulting in the existence of a concept known as a universe. This also completely changed the cultivation path of all high-dimensional lifeforms.

In the history of our human race, we have been attacked by the Void Celestials and have been on the verge of extinction several times. But it’s precisely because Spacetime Island Lord can borrow the power of the Mother Stream and enter it with the dean and Eternal Tower Master. After entering the Mother Stream it will be difficult for even Gumo to track them. Redmond watched.

The Mother Stream was very mysterious. Only by using the spacetime path to reach the Eternal Realm at the high-dimensional lifeform level and constructing lifeforms that were all from the spacetime lineage could one have a chance of touching the Mother Stream. In the future, one still needed to study the Mother Stream and have sufficient achievements before they could borrow the power of the Mother Stream!

Of the three human Paramounts, Spacetime Island Lord transcends spacetime and has extremely strong life-preservation abilities. Eternal Tower Master studies the abyss, and the dean studies the Primordial Star. They are all extremely strong in combat, Redmond thought. What will it be like for my future?

He was also from the Primordial Star lineage. Under the influence of the cosmic fruits Xu Jingming had plucked, Redmond’s path was more inclined to close combat. He was also extremely strong in combat.

I guess Spacetime Island Lord’s contribution toward the entire species is greater, Redmond thought to himself.

In an era without forbidden weapons, it was thanks to Spacetime Island Lord that humanity survived.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The water of the Mother Stream washed over Xu Jingming’s body, mind, and consciousness.

“The Mother Stream can nurture the universe. The water of the Mother Stream is the most thorough ‘purification’ of low-dimensional lifeforms,” the Eternal Tower Master said as he watched.

The dean was also watching from the side, and they could clearly see

Xu Jingming’s corroded life infrastructure was washed away by the Mother Stream, along with any unstable portions. The Mother Stream’s water even nourished him, causing his life infrastructure to become extremely stable.

Cleansing the body was secondary. Cleaning the mind and consciousness was what the dean and the others cared about the most.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The corruption that corroded Xu Jingming’s mind seemed to have intelligence when it was flooded by the water of the Mother Stream; it accelerated its corruption.

Huh? Spacetime Island Lord frowned slightly when she noticed this.

“The water of the Mother Stream can’t expel it?” Eternal Tower Master was surprised.

“Xihe, you’re from the Abyss lineage and are most compatible with the Master of the Abyssal Void. Do you have a way to expel his corruption?” the dean asked.

Eternal Tower Master shook his head. “I can’t. Of the third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms Master of the Abyssal Void is one of the oldest. His strength is unfathomable, so he risked his life to take the final step. An existence who dares to take the final step isn’t something I can expeleven if it’s only an illusion. The Mother Stream is a great existence on the same level as the Abyss and the Primordial Star. I think the Mother Stream’s water is the most promising. If it can’t work, I’ll be out of solutions too.”

“I can’t expel it with my other means either.” Spacetime Island Lord sighed softly. “I’m out of solutions if the Mother Stream’s water fails.”

“The Primordial Star is best at expelling the power of the abyss. If you can’t expel it, I definitely can’t,” Eternal Tower Master said.

The dean stared at Xu Jingming.

This was a peerless genius who had been recruited into his Primordial Research Institute, so he naturally wanted to protect him and let him grow.

“There’s nothing we can do.” The dean frowned.

“We can’t do anything about a third-realm projection.” Eternal Tower Master shook his head. “The gap between the second and third realms is too great.”

A universe could produce a batch of high-dimensional Eternal lifeforms! There were plenty in high-dimensional space, but there were very few at the third realm.

The dean had roamed high-dimensional space for a long time, but he had only chanced upon a battle between two third-realm high-dimensional lifeforms from afar. Other than that, he had never seen one again.

“Dean Chu, what do you plan on doing?” Spacetime Island Lord gave the dean an inquisitive look.

“Brother Chu, you decide.” Eternal Tower Master gazed upon the dean as well.

The dean thought for a moment. “According to the experiences of the corruption ‘test subjects’ in history, one kind loses control due to the corruption as they are incapable of differentiating reality from illusion. After a prolonged confusion, they gradually become familiar with the high-dimensional powers of the corruption and eventually regain lucidity. When that happens, some geniuses choose to commit suicide. Some try to grow on this high-dimensional path, but most of them fail to become cosmic legends. They only became stepping stones on the Void Celestials’ evolutionary path.”

“The other kind manages to maintain their lucidity. Although their personality gets twisted, everything they do is a conscious decision. At the very least, they won’t regret it for the rest of their lives,” the dean said.

“In fact, from an evolutionary point of view,” Eternal Tower Master said, “the first kind of corruptionnot being able to differentiate between reality and illusion’absolutely’ immerses one in the corruption’s high-dimensional powers. They comprehend these powers following their instincts. When their comprehension reaches a certain level, they will naturally wake up. Although this method is crueler, grasping the corruption’s high-dimensional powers becomes faster.”

“However, the Master of the Abyssal Void’s projection is a third-realm corruption. I’m not sure how long Xu Jingming will stay immersed in the corruption,” Eternal Tower Master said.

“Let him wake up.” The dean didn’t hesitate. “No matter what he does, he won’t regret it.”

“It’s not easy to wake him up,” Spacetime Island Lord said. “He has to maintain his lucidity under the Master of the Abyssal Void’s projection. Even the most superficial level of lucidity requires his mind to reach high-dimensional.”

The dean glanced at the Eternal Tower Master. “Your Abyss lineage is best at maintaining lucidity under corruption.”

“Yeah.” Eternal Tower Master nodded. “Xu Jingming’s mind has reached Lv. 11, and he has consumed the Abyss Fire Lotus Seed. Although he’s still a distance away from Lv. 12 he can rely on external objects to withstand the corruption and maintain a superficial level of lucidity.”

“With 100 portions of Spirit Cleansing Water, a blade of Sin Grass, and the ice around the Heart of the Abyss as the main ingredients, coupled with some supplementary ingredients, we can brew Ice Wine,” Eternal Tower Master said. “The Ice Wine brewed is probably enough for 3,000 years.”

“He will need one blade of Sin Grass every 3,000 years?” Spacetime Island Lord looked at the dean. “If Xu Jingming needs more than 10,000 years to wake up, it will cost you three to four blades of Sin Grass. Dean Chu, are you willing?”

“I’ll pay the price.” The dean didn’t hesitate.

Although the price was high, the dean felt that Xu Jingming was worth it.

“I haven’t purposefully gathered the ingredients, so I can only brew a portion of Ice Wine for the time being,” Eternal Tower Master remarked.

“How long will it take to deliver it?” the dean asked.

“Don’t worry. Manipulating the flow of time to brew wine is very fast. It will be teleported over in a day,” Eternal Tower Master answered.

The dean nodded.

“You’re quite willing to splurge for Xu Jingming.” Eternal Tower Master looked at Xu Jingming. “If it were me, I would make him sink completely into the corruption. Only by sinking can he gain a deeper understanding of the Master of the Abyssal Void’s strength.”

The dean shook his head. “No matter how powerful it is, only by grasping it individually will it be useful! He will have to study it with absolute clarity, having some give and take by taking what he wants and giving up what he doesn’t want. Finally, he has to take the path that’s most suitable for him.”

“The Abyss lineage is different from the Primordial Star lineage.” The Eternal Tower Master shook his head gently. “If I don’t completely sink into it, what gives me the right to say that I’m studying the Abyss?”

“Regardless of which lineage it is, self is the most important,” the dean said.

“Alright, it’s someone from your research institute anyway. We’ll do it your way.” Eternal Tower Master looked at Xu Jingming. “If we groom him according to my method, I can also provide some resources.”

“I don’t need it.” The dean ignored him.

Xu Jingming’s mind and consciousness were in an inchoate illusion.

On a desolate planet, an egg more than ten meters in diameter finally broke open, and a cosmic monster crawled out. The newborn only had the strength of a basic cosmic lifeform.

This cosmic monster was born very weak. It could absorb all kinds of energy in the universe and grow by wandering the universe.

Lonely and weak, it was hunted down by other cosmic monsters in the early stages! When it was weak, it lived with difficulty and carefully avoided the rest. It even eventually submitted to a powerful cosmic lifeform

Over the years, it constantly grew, and one day, it even devoured the powerful cosmic lifeform it followed.

It was ruthless and didn’t trust any subordinates. It would kill and eat anyone who dared to disobey its will.

On an habitable planet, an orc baby was born in an orc tribe.

The noble Shadow Empire finally had an heira newborn prince.

Xu Jingming was immersed in all kinds of illusory experiences, and his personality kept changing.

Suddenly

Xu Jingming felt water washing over him. Many of his memories were washed away, leaving only some deep-rooted corruption that completely fused with his mind.

Xu Jingming continued his illusory experiences, which subconsciously affected him.

Finally, at a certain moment

Huh?

Xu Jingming felt an extremely cold force spread throughout his consciousness. This cold force suppressed his originally chaotic memories, causing his most basic consciousness to begin waking up.

******

The dean held a wine flask, where wine was flying out and landing in Xu Jingming’s mouth.

The sleeping Xu Jingming slowly opened his eyes, which had a cold and puzzled look.

“You’re awake?” The dean smiled at him.
