Cosmic Professional Gladiator Novel - Chapter 658

658 The World Comes Alive
The planet was a pirate’s lair, where 9.2 billion people had slept for centuries, untouched by age or illness. However, they were all living in an illusion crafted by the powerful Xu Jingming.

He sat on a balcony, controlling the entire planet with an invisible force and preserving the perfect health of all its inhabitants.

Cryogenics was nothing compared to this.

Under normal circumstances, planetary life could only last 200 years, but under Xu Jingming’s protection, their bodies never aged.

Although I’ve gained basic mastery of Three Threads of the Heart Realm, the gap between the illusory lifeforms I construct and these real lifeforms… is too great. Xu Jingming shook his head gently. As a powerhouse of the Heart Realm lineage, he could construct an illusory world with a thought. Countless illusory lifeforms were born, bringing the entire world to life!

Those illusory lifeforms are too fake; they are like robots, without emotion or desires! However, these real people experience joy, anger, and sorrow and have things they care about. They will grow and change over time. Xu Jingming was enamored by the infinite possibilities of each lifeform.

But how can I create billions of illusions that are as real as these people? It would be too taxing to control them all at once in an illusory world! Xu Jingming shook his head.

Any school in the Heart Realm was terrifying when cultivated to a high level.

Three Threads of the Heart Realm was a very common one, but it was still very difficult to cultivate.

The creation of a world…

The control over minds…

The comprehension of the world’s laws…

These three were tested at the same time.

It had to be known that the Eight Directions Map only targeted the mind! Red Lotus Fire also targeted the mind. Instead, the most common Three Threads of the Heart Realm targeted three aspects.

Of the three techniques I’ve obtained from the Heart Realm lineage, the Eight Directions Map is the most precious. It’s used to build a foundation, and it has a chance of pushing my mind to the ‘Great Freedom’ realm, increasing my chances of reaching the third realm of high-dimensional. Red Lotus Fire is a super-strong secret technique in terms of offense, and its might can potentially reach the half-step third realm. It’s my strongest means of protection and the killing of enemies. As for the Three Threads of the Heart Realm, it’s the broadest and most versatile.

As I progress through the levels of Three Threads of the Heart Realm, the illusions I create will become more and more terrifying, potentially approaching the true Heart Realm.
But it was only a theory.

The legacy only had ten levels, and the tenth level only made one a peak high-dimensional Eternal lifeform, not even approaching the half-step third realm.

Of course, the dean and the others couldn’t buy too precious a legacy.

Every one of them is alive and has their own emotions. All of them are different… Huh?

Xu Jingming had been observing the actions of more than 9.2 billion real lifeforms in the pirate lair in the illusion. This observation had lasted for centuries, but his heart stirred at that very moment. All different? All with different emotions?

I understand the key to the seven-colored technique.

Xu Jingming’s eyes blazed with excitement.

The Eight Directions Map was just the beginning. Being calm and collected, he now had a chance to reach the second realm. And upon experiencing the epiphany, he quickly mastered the seven-colored secret technique, using emotions of joy, anger, shock, panic, worry, ponderance, and sorrow to construct it.

The seven-colored cycle varies in strength. Rising from the balcony, he gazed upon the sleeping planet below. It’s time to leave.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming disappeared.

The countless sleeping humans on the planet began to wake up one by one.

“Where am I?” a child exclaimed, looking around in confusion. “I am the third son of the Zhou family and the ancestor of the Feng family…”

Memories of their past lives in the illusory world flooded back to them.

Over 9.2 billion people on the planet had their memories awakened. They looked at each other with unfamiliar and complicated expressions.

“From now on, this planet will be taken over by the Pearwood Group,” a powerful voice echoed throughout the planet. A figure stood in the sky, emitting a brilliant light that illuminated every corner of the planet.

This was a guardian that Xu Jingming had arranged.

Xu Jingming had protected these people for hundreds of years and had experienced generations of memories. They were worth grooming once they woke up in reality.

He couldn’t let the space pirates continue to wreak havoc. And so, as the heinous space pirates faced the consequences of their actions, the ordinary natives of the planet ushered in a bright and prosperous future.

…

Earth.

Xu Jingming sat in the living room with Li Miaomiao, their eyes fixed on the projection in front of them.

With a single thought, an illusory world materialized, spanning 12.6 light-years in diameter and enveloping the entire solar system and countless surrounding stellar systems.

According to the Three Threads of the Heart Realm legacy, my construction of this world is already incredibly stable. But now, it’s time to create illusory lifeforms.

Using the seven-colored secret technique and Heart Realm Force, Xu Jingming willed illusory human beings into existence one after another. Each living being was a puppet of the seven-colored secret technique, but they were imbued with normal emotions.

At first, Xu Jingming struggled to create these lifeforms, but as the numbers grew from tens to hundreds to thousands, he became more and more familiar with the process.

In every instant, hundreds of millions of puppet lifeforms were created, all built around the seven-colored secret technique.

As the number reached 100 billion, Xu Jingming felt the immense Heart Realm Force needed to sustain them—it was almost reaching his limits.

Every puppet’s creation required precision, and Xu Jingming used Heart Realm Force to build around the seven-colored secret technique.

Now, it’s time for the third thread of the Heart Realm: bring the world to life.

With a single thought, the puppets numbering more than 100 billion each had their own identities and memories. Coupled with the various emotions bestowed by the seven-colored secret technique, they began making natural choices. Xu Jingming didn’t need to divert his attention to control them—every living being would carve out their own path.

In the past, when Xu Jingming constructed illusions, the illusory living beings acted uniformly like puppets. But now, with the addition of the seven-colored secret technique, every puppet was brought to life, and the world became different.

This is a true illusion.

Xu Jingming secretly guided the process of the illusory world, allowing countless living beings to go about their lives normally. The world was incredibly realistic.

Buzz!

The illusory world naturally formed a World Force—one that was mysterious, vast, and powerful.

Xu Jingming had once sparred Deputy Island Lord Fasci and Defender Whitejail. Back then, he had roughly constructed a world and suppressed it with the World Force. But the illusory world he had just constructed was countless times more intricate and profound, and the World Force was much more terrifying.

Huh?

Xu Jingming extended his hand, and with a single motion, the 12.6-light-year-diameter illusory world shrank down to the size of a ping pong ball in his palm.

“Jingming, what is this?” Li Miaomiao asked, her eyes fixed on the blurry sphere in his hand, confusion etched on her face.

“This, my dear, is a world,” Xu Jingming replied with a grin.

“A world?” Li Miaomiao repeated, still unsure of what he meant.

“And not just any world. There are over 100 billion illusory lifeforms living inside. Their emotions and struggles make this world more realistic than you can imagine,” Xu Jingming explained, filled with anticipation. The illusory lifeforms created by combining the seven-colored secret technique had greatly improved the Three Threads of the Heart Realm, allowing him to reach the third level in one go. It intrigued him further.

“I find it a little terrifying,” she said, looking at the blurry sphere with a hint of panic in her eyes.

“I understand your fear, my love,” Xu Jingming said, still smiling.

It wasn’t as destructive as Cleansing Lotus Fire, but in other aspects, this illusory world was much more dangerous.

“But remember, I created it. You have nothing to worry about.” Xu Jingming consoled her.

On the front lines of the war against the Void Celestials.

On a Lv. 10 battlefield planet, the human team was fighting for survival as members fell one by one.

“Get help!”

“Get help!”

The 32 human Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms were being overpowered by the Void Celestials’ eight Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms. Armed with Indestructible Divine Crystals, the Void Celestials were a formidable force.

As the human team struggled to hold on, they desperately cried out for help.

“When will the reinforcements arrive?” The human Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms were on edge, their hope fading fast.

Finally—

A dark-yellow flame descended upon the Lv. 10 battle planet.

The Void Celestials were taken aback by this sudden development.

“Let’s go.”

“Run!”

“It’s the human cosmic legend, Lan Zhu.”

The Void Celestials knew all too well the cosmic legends of the human race. When they saw the dark-yellow light, they immediately recognized the identity of the person.

The eight Void Celestials didn’t hesitate to use every means at their disposal to escape. But aside from one who managed to flee quickly, the other seven were consumed by a trace of the fiery light.

As the light touched their bodies, they were silently incinerated into nothingness.

The dark-yellow fire took the shape of a figure—a thin, skeletal elder in a gray robe.

The elder stood in the void, his gaze cold and unfeeling.

“Lan Zhu, why are you acting so ruthlessly toward Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms?” A sneer echoed, and an invisible wind began to gather. The wind swept past the Lv. 10 battle planet, condensing into a silver-robed elder.

The Lv. 10 battle planet was protected by a dark-yellow glow, blocking the invisible wind.

“You Void Celestials have become increasingly ruthless in recent times, with larger and larger teams. And even the cosmic legends among you show no mercy,” the gray-robed Lan Zhu said coldly. “Why should I show any mercy?”

“Hahaha, very well, Lan Zhu. You were lucky to escape last time, but I am fully prepared this time. Let’s see how you run,” the silver-robed elder smiled, his confidence brimming. The divine crystal between his brows emitted a dazzling light.

“Do you think you can take me on alone, Kemodi?” Lan Zhu’s eyes were filled with ridicule.

“Just me is enough!” The silver-robed elder extended his hands, and the entire spacetime began to resemble an ocean. Spatial waves surged toward Lan Zhu.

Lan Zhu waited attentively. I almost died at his hands last time, but this time, I’m well-prepared. I can summon Wu Ming at any moment.
