Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 632
632 Spacetime Prison
“I choose to be imprisoned!”
Deputy Dean Redmond, Deputy Island Lord Fasci, and Defender Whitejail were stunned when they heard this. They didn’t want to force the most dazzling genius of the human race into a corner; they only wanted to exert enough pressure on Xu Jingming to effect change.
However, Xu Jingming’s choice gave them a headache.
“You can’t control yourself?” Redmond looked at Xu Jingming.
“I used the imitation method, and Master of the Abyssal Void has abnormal emotions—painful emotions—torturing me. My memories have already begun to become chaotic,” Xu Jingming said calmly. “I took the initiative to sink into the misery and suffer all kinds of pain and torture to reduce the impact of the abnormal emotions, but I have to vent after suffering too much pain and torture after brief moments… If I don’t vent it, I’ll go even crazier.”
!!
It was obvious how painful and torturous it was for Xu Jingming to experience a person’s life of misery in a short period through possession.
Fulfilling other people’s wishes was a way to vent.
For example, in the Ningway case, the other party hated all executioners. This hatred had long been embedded into his soul over the centuries. Having possessed the body and experienced this pain, Xu Jingming would have nowhere to vent his pain if he were to rationally let most people off according to the law.
Only by following Ningway’s wishes and killing all the targets of hatred could he vent his anger to the greatest extent.
Possessing and taking the experiences in before fulfilling their wishes was Xu Jingming’s way of staying sane while experiencing the misery.
How would Redmond and the others have him control himself?
“Senior Brother.” Xu Jingming gazed at Redmond calmly. “I know you have the intention to help me, but as my mental strength increases, the abnormal emotions intensify by the day. The corruption will only worsen, and I won’t be able to control myself.”
Redmond, Fasci, and Whitejail exchanged glances.
“Let’s contact the three Paramounts,” Redmond said. The three Paramounts needed to agree for Xu Jingming’s imprisonment.
“Alright.” Xu Jingming nodded.
Time passed…
The Redmond trio and Xu Jingming stood on the street, but the pedestrians couldn’t touch them or see them.
Half an hour later.
“The three Paramounts have replied.” Redmond, Fasci, and Whitejail looked at Xu Jingming.
“Since you chose to be imprisoned, it means that you don’t have the ability to control yourself,” Redmond said. “According to the decision of the three Paramounts, you will be imprisoned forever. You will only regain your freedom when you grasp the Heart Realm Force.”
“Grasp Heart Realm Force?” Xu Jingming nodded slightly. “Alright.”
The source of the corruption was Master of the Abyssal Void’s power. The corruption was no longer a corruption once he grasped the power.
“During your imprisonment, you are prohibited from entering the virtual world network,” Redmond said. “You are only allowed to contact the outside world by mail once a year. This is the dean and the others’ decision.”
“I’ll give you an hour to settle your matters,” Redmond said. “After that, we’ll escort you to the Spacetime Prison and imprison you there.”
“Got it.” Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
Redmond, Fasci, and Whitejail waited silently. Xu Jingming split a consciousness stream into the virtual world and began making some arrangements for trivial matters.
“Sigh, this junior brother of mine is even more talented than me, but he has fallen to this extent.” Redmond shook his head slightly. He was completely confident in becoming a high-dimensional lifeform thanks to Xu Jingming’s help; he kept this favor to heart.
However, the three Paramounts couldn’t do anything about the high-dimensional corruption, so he naturally couldn’t either.
“The Void Celestials often corrupt the geniuses of the various races in the universe into test subjects,” Whitejail remarked with a sigh. “And there’s nothing we can do about this!”
“Many of the corrupted geniuses of the various races have gone crazy, causing irreparable consequences,” Fasci said. “Compared to them, Wu Ming’s self-control is already very strong.”
“This is only temporary. Wu Ming has only been corrupted for a few centuries. If he is corrupted for over a millennium or longer, and the abnormal emotions continue tormenting him…” Defender Whitejail shook his head. “I’m afraid it will cause a huge disaster.”
“That’s why he chose to be imprisoned,” Redmond said.
…
In the virtual world.
Grandpa Xu, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Li Chen’an and his wife, and Xu Jingming—it was rare for the family to get together.
“Jingming, you’ve been very busy these past few years. It’s been a long time since our family got together,” Grandpa Xu said with a smile.
“No matter how busy you are, you can make time to relax. Humans don’t just come to this world to evolve; they also have to enjoy life,” Xu Hong said. They felt that Xu Jingming had distanced himself from them in the past few years.
“Mmm.” Xu Jingming looked at his family. His heart was soft in front of them.
He smiled and said, “But I’m indeed very busy. Soon, I’ll be heading to a relatively distant place. I won’t be able to enter the virtual world network there. When that happens, I won’t be able to contact everyone.”
“Dad, you can’t even contact us via the virtual world?” Xu Lixing was surprised.
“I can’t.” Xu Jingming shook his head. “You can get Miaomiao to write me a letter every year! The Cosmic Human Alliance’s officials will pass the letter to me, and I’ll reply.”
“Only by mail?” The family was extremely surprised.
“Where are you going?” Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but ask, “Why can’t we contact via the virtual world?”
“A very special place,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.
He was being imprisoned.
He couldn’t tell his family the truth; it would only worry them.
“How long will it take?” Li Miaomiao asked as the family stared at Xu Jingming.
“I don’t know.” Xu Jingming shook his head gently. “It might be thousands of years or tens of thousands of years.”
The group was stunned. Perhaps tens of thousands of years?
“Perhaps tens of thousands of years?” The family found it unacceptable.
Even if those with some talent in evolution and those who used auxiliary treasures like Mr. Xu and Xu Lixing had a chance of reaching Lv. 8, Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms only had a lifespan of 10,000 years.
As for Mrs. Xu and the others who didn’t have much talent on the evolutionary path, they could only live for 3,000 years.
“We might not see each other again in the future?” Mrs. Xu looked at her son.
“Mom.” Xu Jingming held his mother’s hand.
“Before you became an Origin lifeform, you were always at home.” Mrs. Xu’s eyes turned red. “But after you became an Origin lifeform, you went to the Hellion battlefield and the Void Celestial battlefield. Then, you said something about high-dimensional corruption… Now, you’re saying that you have to go somewhere far! Can’t you take a break? There are so many powerhouses and important figures in the human race, and there are three Paramounts. Can’t you slack off for a while?”
“Mom, this matter has nothing to do with the Cosmic Human Alliance. It’s me; I have to go to that special place,” Xu Jingming said. “I have no choice because of the high-dimensional corruption.”
“You have to?” Mr. Xu asked.
“Yeah.” Xu Jingming nodded.
“When are you setting off?” Mr. Xu asked again.
“In about 40 minutes,” Xu Jingming replied.
The family had mixed emotions, but they knew that they couldn’t change anything. They could only cherish this short time together.
Finally, it was almost time.
“Jingming, we’ll all wait for your return.” Li Miaomiao stared at her husband. “I hope we can meet again in this life.”
“Dad.” Xu Lixing stared at her father with red eyes.
“We’ll definitely meet.” Xu Jingming nodded.
He also yearned for it.
He didn’t want his family to be dead by the time he came out of prison. Therefore, not only did he have to successfully grasp Heart Realm Force, but he also had to grasp it early.
“I transferred 100 quadrillion cosmic dollars to the Pearwood Group,” Xu Jingming said. “I gave the group cash in piece-meal sizes previously, but now… I’m almost transferring everything out of my account. I’ll leave it to you guys.”
Having participated in the Hellion interception for so many years, Xu Jingming had accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth. This much wealth was still the result of the Hellion reducing their plundering.
There was only some chump change left in Xu Jingming’s account.
“If you encounter trouble in the future, you can look for Deputy Dean Redmond. You can also ask Senior Brother Jane, Senior Brother Yijiu, and the others for help with ordinary matters,” Xu Jingming said.
“Okay.” Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing nodded.
“I’ll get going.”
Xu Jingming turned around and left. His figure dissipated without any hesitation.
The family couldn’t bear to see Xu Jingming leave.
Would they meet again in the future?
…
Xu Jingming left a message to Uncle Qi, Tejano, Redeye, Gu Shan, Senior Brother Yijiu, Senior Brother Jane, and his other friends.
Leave the Abyssal Void Group to me in the future? It might take Young Master millennia or tens of millennia to return? Wu Qi was a little stunned when he read the message Xu Jingming left him. Will we meet again?
Wu Qi yearned to become an Origin lifeform even more at this moment—he wanted to live longer and wait for his young master’s return.
******
On the street.
Redmond, Fasci, and Whitejail waited patiently, and Xu Jingming’s consciousness left the virtual world.
“Let’s go,” Xu Jingming said.
“Is everything settled?” Redmond asked.
“Senior Brother, please take care of my family while I’m imprisoned,” Xu Jingming said.
Whitejail said, “Don’t worry. With your status, nobody in the Cosmic Human Alliance can touch your family. The three of us can guarantee it.”
Redmond and Fasci nodded slightly.
“Thank you.” Xu Jingming was grateful.
Redmond, Whitejail, and Fasci didn’t have any hostility toward Xu Jingming. They even looked forward to Xu Jingming’s liberation from the corruption.
“After you are imprisoned, Wu Ming’s World… will be taken over by the Cosmic Human Alliance,” Redmond said. “Wu Ming’s World is still helpful to the mind.”
“Okay.” Xu Jingming nodded.
“Then, let’s set off.” Redmond looked at Fasci.
“Let’s go.”
Hu!
Fasci instantly traversed spacetime with the three of them.
As expected of the deputy island lord of Spacetime Island. A cosmic legend powerhouse is stronger than me in spacetime. Xu Jingming watched as Fasci brought the three of them to a mysterious spacetime area.
This was a specially created spacetime that was difficult to find.
A cube building floated up ahead.
“This is the Spacetime Prison, one of the forbidden areas of our Spacetime Island,” Fasci explained. “This was personally built by Island Lord. Even high-dimensional Eternal lifeforms can’t come here without Island Lord’s permission.”
As they spoke, the few of them flew close to the Spacetime Prison.
Boom! Boom!
Dense purple patterns appeared on the cube-shaped building, and the energy fluctuations were intense. A towering door slowly opened.
“Go on in,” Deputy Island Lord Fasci said. “You can only leave this prison when you grasp Heart Realm Force.”
Xu Jingming nodded and flew through the door.
The prison was empty. Other than the walls, there was nothing else.
Xu Jingming stood in the prison with his back facing the door.
Boom! Boom!
The door slowly closed before it was fully sealed.
