579 The Dean's Observation

Deputy Dean Redmond looked at the varying-sized cosmic fruits in front of him. He could clearly sense the energy contained in every one of them. He could even sense the source behind the cosmic fruits—that towering behemoth!

"These fruits vary in size. I hope they can help you in some other way," Xu Jingming said. He also looked forward to the deputy dean reaching the Paramount realm.

After guarding the border for so many years, Xu Jingming knew very well… that if they wanted the entire human race to live better and not be plundered and slaughtered by aliens, the only solution was for the human race to become stronger.

The foundation of one's strength lay in the Paramount realm.

"Different fruits have their differences, especially the largest one. I can sense a richer power," Redmond remarked with a smile. "The Primordial Research Institute would've bought the cosmic fruit with a diameter of 1.6 kilometers for ten million credits. I'm offering a 10% premium. These fruits will be priced according to their energy level. The total price of 50 fruits will be 632 million credits. I'll transfer it to you now."

Hundreds of millions of credits sounded like they were a lot, but Redmond had been on the Void Celestial battlefield for extended periods; the credit he had obtained was a stunning figure. Redmond was the decisive factor during many critical moments.

His strength was clearly unique! He was much stronger than the other six cosmic legends of the human race.

The Void Celestial's territory was wider, and there were more cosmic legends and powerful high-dimensional weapons. They were also above the human race at the level of cosmic legends, but the three strongest cosmic legends on the Void Celestial's side were only on par with Redmond.

Coupled with the Void Celestials fighting more than ten powerful species at the same time, their strength against the humans was limited.

People at Redmond's level only occasionally participated. This was because his participation meant that the situation between the two parties had escalated to a sufficiently high point.

632 million credits. Xu Jingming also received a notification from the Primordial Research Institute, and his credit increased greatly.

"Xu Jingming." Redmond looked at him and smiled. "I've also gained something from studying that cosmic fruit over the years."

"The source of this cosmic fruit's power is also the study of the Primordial Star. That great existence's achievements aren't inferior to the dean's," Redmond said. "He takes a different direction from the dean."

"That great existence placed greater importance on the body," Redmond continued. "The dean is more balanced."

Redmond gazed at Xu Jingming. "If you want to break through to become a high-dimensional lifeform in the future and think about how to construct your own high-dimensional lifeform, you can consume these fruits and carefully sense their power."

"After gaining some insights, you might be able to construct a high-dimensional lifeform at the Firstborn realm," Redmond said.

Xu Jingming came to a realization. "Understood."

"Also, you've already reached Lv. 10," Redmond said. "From now on, you can consume a one-kilometer-diameter cosmic fruit a year. Eating one every 100 years will be very beneficial to your cultivation of the Primordial Star lineage; you'll know the details after tasting it."

Xu Jingming nodded. "Thank you, Deputy Dean."

"I should be the one thanking you." Redmond nodded. "Keep more of these fruits for yourself. It's a waste for most Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms to consume them. After all, only a handful of people in this era can become cosmic legends. Other than me, you might be the only one with a chance of reaching higher dimensions."

Redmond knew very well how difficult it was to attain high-dimensional status.

Xu Jingming also sensed how highly the deputy dean thought of him.

"Alright, take off now. Contact me anytime," Redmond said.

"I'll make a move first." Xu Jingming immediately bade farewell and left.

Redmond arrived at his chamber and sat cross-legged. With a wave of his hand, he took out the largest cosmic fruit with a diameter of 2.7 kilometers.

This fruit is most closely related to that great existence. Redmond looked at the fruit in front of him. Space distorted, and the 2.7-kilometer-diameter cosmic fruit appeared the size of a peach.

Redmond opened his mouth, and the cosmic fruit flew right in.

He swallowed it in one gulp.

He sat cross-legged, and his body naturally enlarged. The chamber's space expanded in sync, and scorching flames rose from the surface of his skin.

Redmond's eyes began to turn golden, emitting scorching golden light.

Being large is beauty. Being massive naturally allows one to carry more energy. Redmond took it in. That great existence is indeed impressive in terms of his body.

I'm feeling it more carefully this time.

My basic lifeform units can be modified in such a way. Redmond looked ahead. The Force was naturally constructing a life structure unit, and the new inspiration from consuming the fruit allowed him to modify it further.

Buzz!

This life structure unit was clearly floating there, but during the modification process, it naturally entered another level—high-dimensional space.

This delighted Redmond!

High-dimensional characteristics? Redmond revealed a look of delight.

Suddenly—

In the deepest depths of the strange building where the dean was in seclusion, a figure suddenly condensed on the miniature Primordial Star. It was thin, and its eyes were cold. Its gaze penetrated all obstacles as it looked in the direction of Redmond's chamber. There's a new high-dimensional life aura at the research institute headquarters?

The moment he sensed it, this carrier of his consciousness immediately woke up. This was because it was very dangerous for an unfamiliar high-dimensional life aura to appear.

Was it an alien high-dimensional lifeform invasion? Or was there another reason?

"Redmond, you broke through?" The figure in the miniature Primordial Star's voice was filled with joy.

When Redmond heard this, he immediately said, "Dean, I just took a critical step. This basic life unit needs to be perfected and stabilized."

"Having already taken the most important step, what's left is just time." The dean was delighted. "How long do you reckon it will take to completely perfect it and break through to high-dimensional?"

"From as short as a thousand years or as long as 10,000 years," Redmond replied.

"It takes that long?" The dean was puzzled. "This high-dimensional life structure of yours is already very good; it just needs to be slightly perfected. Decades should be sufficient, right?"

"I consumed a cosmic fruit and saw another direction for the Primordial Star," Redmond explained. "Therefore, I want to create stronger high-dimensional lifeforms that can simultaneously carry the three high-dimensional powers I grasp."

"Carrying three high-dimensional powers with one body?" The dean looked at Redmond, and his gaze could sense the cosmic fruit Redmond had consumed. "So you obtained that monster's cosmic fruit."

"Monster?" Redmond was puzzled.

"You will soon become a high-dimensional lifeform, so there's no harm telling you," the dean explained. "This monster is an ancient existence that died before our human race was born. It was born in high-dimensional space and was born a high-dimensional lifeform. I heard that it pitied the weak and loved the low-dimensional lifeforms in the universe while it killed sinful high-dimensional lifeforms without mercy. It was precisely because of this that it devoured too many high-dimensional lifeforms and provoked too many enemies. Even though its body was unimaginably strong, it ultimately died. I'm not too sure about the exact cause of its death. After all, our universe was only born not long ago."

"It had a deep relationship with our universe. When it died, it was said that it fled to our universe," the dean said. "After its death, some of the treasures it left behind attracted some high-dimensional lifeforms to enter our universe to fight over it. The high-dimensional lifeform war was intense, and it also caused all the species in the universe to fall into extinction."

"After the mass extinction, the original species went extinct, allowing the new species to gradually multiply and grow," the dean said. "Without the mass extinction it caused, the human race might not have appeared."

The dean sighed with emotion. "Of course, humans were born relatively late, and survival isn't easy."

Redmond nodded as well.

It wasn't easy for humans to rise to prominence. They were weak in the beginning, but their status gradually stabilized when the dean and the others broke through to become high-dimensional Eternal lifeforms. Even so, the rise of the Void Celestials threw the human race into a harsh environment again.

Thankfully, forbidden weapons had been developed. The dean and the others used this opportunity to increase their strength greatly, allowing them to truly resist the pressure exerted by the Void Celestials.

The entire universe and the large species around the Void Celestials weren't to be trifled with.

Humans and Frosts were strong enough.

"This cosmic fruit was discovered by Xu Jingming?" The dean obtained the information after a simple check.

"He discovered the auxiliary universe and registered the cosmic coordinates to seal it with a high-dimensional door." The dean looked into the distance. Knowing the exact coordinates, his gaze landed at the spot and saw the auxiliary universe.

Everything in the auxiliary universe—the cosmic fruit trees, 36 patterned stone pillars, two high-dimensional fruit trees, the palace, and the cosmic spirits in the auxiliary universe were all under the dean's observation.

This monster's body is indeed very potent, the dean praised. I can tell the monster's physical achievements via minute traces.

However, he was only impressed. He had a clear path, so it was impossible for him to divert his attention to other paths.

Redmond sat cross-legged. The dean's sudden silence puzzled him, but he waited patiently.

"I just observed the auxiliary universe Xu Jingming discovered," the dean said. "There are indeed treasures more precious than cosmic fruits in the auxiliary universe, but they aren't of any help to you, Redmond."

"Your path has been made clear after all. It's centered around the three high-dimensional powers of the Primordial Star lineage," the dean remarked. "As for that monster… Its essence isn't just the Primordial Star's powers, but also the powers from the abyss."

"Abyss?" Redmond found it unbelievable. "I didn't notice it even after consuming the cosmic fruit."

"It devours everything, including many high-dimensional lifeforms. It even devours a large number of Primordial Star Flames," the dean said. "The reason why it's good at the Primordial Star lineage's strength is that it has devoured too many Primordial Star Flames. However, its true essence is 'devouring,' a power originating from the abyss that devours everything."

"That doesn't suit you," the dean said.

Redmond came to a realization. "No wonder this great existence's body is so huge."

"Although it's not suitable for you…" The dean looked forward to it. "Xu Jingming has just broken through to Lv. 10. He hasn't even accumulated Lv. 10 strength, much less high-dimensional strength. The path isn't clear; he's a blank slate that can allow as many drawings as you want! He can completely take this path."
