The universe was vast, and there were many experts.
Many peak Lv. 8 experts had focused on apex battles for thousands of years, and their techniques had reached an unimaginable level. Xu Jingming hadnât cultivated for long, so it was indeed difficult for him to enter the Hunter Cosmic Sectorâs top ten.
The outstanding experts from different Star Alliances were like sledgehammers that constantly hammered and tempered Xu Jingming, allowing him to draw experience from them. As time passed, he broke through his limits time and time again, and his combat system became more and more perfect.

âDirector, we will arrive on Earth in 10 minutes.â In a spaceship, the female assistantâs gentle voice woke up a man who was nodding off while reading.
Urgh.
The man jolted awake and threw the thick book covering his chest to the side. He shook his head and said, âItâs too difficult to improve oneâs educational level. With my brain as a Lv. 6 cosmic lifeform, itâs too strenuous to understand this knowledge. I often fall asleep from fatigue while reading.â
âDirector, your hard work will definitely pay off,â the female assistant said with a smile.
âI read a little every day; it adds up. If my educational level doesnât improve, it will be difficult for me to rise up the ranks.â The man got up and walked forward. With a light tap of his finger, the outside world appeared in front of himâsilent space.
The female assistant said, âThe spaceship is still in cool-down. It will arrive on Earth after commencing its final warp in 10 minutes.â
âI never expected to come to this remote basic civilization.â The man tapped the projection, and a large amount of information appeared on it. âEarth, a basic civilization, only has two habitable planets, and this is the ten-year-efforts of the stationed Redmond Group branch. Without the Redmond Group, it will probably only have one habitable planet.â

âWithout the Redmond Group, this civilization might not even exist,â the female assistant said with a smile.
âYes.â The man chuckled. âI read about it. Ten years ago, the number one genius of Earthâs evolutionary path, Xu Jingming, offended Prince Lunardo of the Primestar civilization. Earth fell into a predicament because of this. If it werenât for Lord Tejano, Earth mightâve indeed ceased to exist.â
âI heard that the genius, Xu Jingming, has long cultivated to Lv. 7, but he hasnât reached Lv. 8 yet.â The man shook his head. âBecoming a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform is much harder than reaching Lv. 7. Xu Jingming easily reached Lv. 7, so he really thought himself impressive to dare offend Prince Lunardo.â
âPeople from weak civilizations are short-sighted. They donât know how difficult it is to reach Lv. 8,â the female assistant commented.
âAlthough he canât reach Lv. 8, he managed to befriend Lord Tejano, who was willing to send a Yellow-Shirted Envoy to guard Earth. Thatâs ability.â The man sighed. âIn just ten years, as the Redmond Groupâs branch office, Earth profited plenty from this. It even completely developed Mars into a second habitable planet.â
âAt this rate, Earthâs civilization will probably be ranked in the top five of the Milky Way in a thousand years.â The man sighed. âWhich other civilization in the Milky Way doesnât require years with generations of geniuses working hard? Earthâs civilization can catch up to the other civilizationsâ development in a hundred thousand years just by cozying up to Lord Tejano.â
âThey prosper because of Lord Tejano, but once Lord Tejano stops bothering about them, they will decline,â the female assistant remarked.
âYes, it canât last if itâs only due to external forces.â The man nodded. âLetâs confirm the information again. The handover with the Redmond Group will begin in a while.â
âYes.â The female assistant nodded.
Soon, the spaceship traversed another wormhole and arrived at the solar system where Earthâs civilization was located.

Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, and Xu Lixingâs family of three sat in the courtyard eating fruits.
âOh, Dad, Mom, I have something on. Iâll go online first.â Xu Lixing looked at the time and flashed to the virtual chamber upstairs.
âMiaomiao.â Xu Jingming watched his daughter enter the virtual chamber in confusion. âSomething doesnât feel right with our daughter recently. While spending time with us, she goes online immediately once the time is up. Whatâs more important than spending time with our parents? Miaomiao, is our daughter in a relationship?â
âSo what if sheâs in a relationship?â She glared at her husband. âOur daughter is 28 this year. Isnât it normal to be in a relationship?â
âThatâs true.â Xu Jingming said, âBut she hasnât said anything. Who does she know in the virtual world? Who is she with? As parents, we donât know anything.â
There were still clues if friends were made in reality.
The virtual world? There was no way to investigate at all.
âShe hasnât been in Blood Rain World for long either.â Li Miaomiao frowned slightly. âI previously thought that it might be because Blood Rain World was too boring, so it was normal for her to visit other virtual worlds. Now that you mention it⊠itâs possible that she has some secrets.â
âMiaomiao, get closer to our daughter and find out whatâs going on,â Xu Jingming said. He couldnât control his daughter now that she was all grown up.
Of course, it was also because he spent most of his time focused on the evolutionary path and didnât spend much time with his daughter.
Li Miaomiao spent much more time with their daughter.
âIâll find an opportunity to talk to her alone.â Li Miaomiao nodded after some thought. âBut you have to be mentally prepared.â
âRight. As long as itâs not some scumbag, Iâll let her be,â Xu Jingming said with a smile. He was very open-minded.
