Chapter 10: A Journey to Higher Dimensions Chapter 26: Birth
At the moment of falling into the huge picture, Xu Jingming and all other high-dimensional lives received a voice in their minds.
“Welcome to my world.”
"In my world, once you die, you will die completely. Any trace of your life left in any territory will be annihilated."
"The only way to survive is to get first place in the Ten Thousand Races Arena! If you get first place, you can leave this world alive, and you can also choose a prize from my prize library."
"Just to remind you, I summoned a total of 5,623,922 higher-dimensional beings."
"This is your calamity, but it is also your opportunity."
The sound echoed in consciousness.
Xu Jingming only felt that his body was completely annihilated, leaving only a trace of consciousness, which completely merged into this world. The same was true for all other high-dimensional beings, and each of them merged into this world.
…
Xu Jingming just felt confused and dazed. He opened his eyes in a daze and the light from outside seeped in through the curtains.
"Me?" Xu Jingming sat up and looked at himself.
With his thin and weak arms and slightly pale complexion, Xu Jingming felt that he was a little weak.
"My power is completely gone?" Xu Jingming felt carefully, "The mind originates from the body, and my current body is this sickly body. The power of the mind is also very weak."
"Even if it is very weak, with my sharp mind, I should be able to sense the source of cosmic power. But this world... there is no source of cosmic power." Xu Jingming was a little confused. Then he lifted the quilt and walked to the mirror in his pajamas.
In the mirror was a slightly thin boy with slightly dark red hair. He looked about 70% similar to Xu Jingming.
"I have been sick frequently since I was a child." Xu Jingming also has memories of the boy in his mind and knows the basic information about this world.
This world is boundless, with numerous ethnic groups occupying territories. The boy found out from searching for information that there are more than 90,000 ethnic groups. Humans are just one of the many ethnic groups.
"With all the races coexisting, the human race is not very impressive." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "And the young man I descended into is also called Jingming?"
Xu Jingming suspected that such a coincidence might be related to the existence that created the world.
"I heard that the existence of the third realm can make laws with words, and is almost omnipotent." Xu Jingming thought, "I guess the voice that dragged more than 5 million high-dimensional lives into this world is the existence of the third realm."
It is normal for high-dimensional beings to encounter the third realm occasionally after living for a long time.
Since I have too many clones, it is normal to encounter the third realm.
"In this world, once you die, you are completely dead?" Xu Jingming said seriously.
He is so young, and has just become a high-dimensional life in the eternal realm of the heart world. He still has a bright future. How can he be willing to die so easily?
"Death from old age, illness, accidental death...all kinds of death will lead to the destruction of all my clones." Xu Jingming understood that although he had a strong ability to save his life, he could not withstand the punishment of the third realm.
"The most important goal of coming to this world is to win first place in the Ten Thousand Races Arena."
Information about the Ten Thousand Races Arena immediately emerged in Xu Jingming’s mind.
This young man obviously also knew about the Ten Thousand Races Arena.
This world highly values competitive fighting and pursues the strength of individual martial arts! Various fighting competitions are very popular, and the Ten Thousand Races Arena is held once every thousand years, which is a grand event for all races.
When the competition is held, all races will watch it at the same time.
The human race is a very common race among all races. There are seven kingdoms, each with a population of over 10 billion. The public security in the seven kingdoms is not good, and gangs and bandits are rampant.
"The Ten Thousand Races Arena opens once every thousand years. We welcome the strong men from all races to participate."
"However, there are only 300 spots for professional players who can pass the preliminaries and become the main competition. In the seven human nations... in the million years of recorded history, only three people have ever stepped onto the Ten Thousand Races Arena, and the last time was more than 100,000 years ago."
"A place in the finals is out of reach for the seven human nations."
Xu Jingming walked to the desk in the room. On the desk was a machine. Xu Jingming pressed two buttons based on the familiar operations he remembered. The machine lit up and a light screen appeared.
Xu Jingming reached out and touched the light screen, quickly retrieving the online information.
"This world also has an information network." Xu Jingming smiled and pulled up the list of finalists for the latest Ten Thousand Races Arena.
Xu Jingming looked at the detailed introduction of the list.
The champion of the last Ten Thousand Races Arena: Cabermeha (Giant), 32.9 meters tall, 512 tons in weight. (All data units are translated into Blue Star unit data.)
Runner-up: Didifigo (Fire Dragon), body length 109 meters, weight 8297 tons.
Third place: King Chen Qi (Mountain Demon Clan), 62.1 meters tall and weighing 9,500 tons.
…
Xu Jingming looked at the information.
"No wonder it's so difficult for the human race to enter the main competition of the Ten Thousand Races Arena. The human race's small arms and legs, in terms of potential, can't compare with these powerful races at all." Xu Jingming shook his head slightly, "Competitive fighting is a physical fight! Physical talent is very important."
“And the life expectancy gap is huge.”
Xu Jingming also checked the information network to find out more details.
"The life spans of all races are different. The longest life span is the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, which generally has a life span of 100,000 years." Xu Jingming frowned, "The life span of the human race is generally around 200 years. Even if the physical body is cultivated to the most perfect level, the aging of the physical body can be slowed down, which can greatly extend the life span. The longest life span in human history is only more than 2,000 years."
"Different ethnic groups have completely different physical talents and lifespan talents."
Xu Jingming frowned, "The Five-Colored Dragon Clan has a lifespan of 100,000 years, and the Ten Thousand Clan Arena is held once every thousand years, so there are probably a hundred opportunities to try."
"Human populations generally have much shorter life spans and fewer opportunities to experiment."
"The next Ten Thousand Races Arena will be held 322 years from now. First, I have to live until 322 years from now."
"More than 5 million high-dimensional beings have descended on different tribes, so the starting point is different." Xu Jingming realized this. For example, the mountain demon tribe is generally over 50 meters tall, weighs over 5,000 tons, and has a lifespan of 10,000 years. Those who have a high enough control over their bodies can continue to live longer.
Everyone was practicing fighting skills, so it naturally became very difficult for humans to catch up with the mountain demons.
"There are some weaker groups."
"Like the ants, their height generally does not exceed 10 centimeters, and their average lifespan is around 30 years." Xu Jingming thought to himself that a race that is almost as tall as a finger would naturally be at a disadvantage in fighting .
…
The ant tribe has a strict order.
The queen ant has a noble status, a huge body, and a much longer lifespan. The ordinary ants are miserable, they are small and must obey orders.
"I……"
An ant carrying a heavy load suddenly looked much more profound, "Lord of the Abyss 'Hafercheng', in this world, I was born into an ant. This world highly respects fighting, and the Ten Thousand Races Arena is a once-in-a-millennium competition... It is a grand event for all races. But in the history of the ants, no one has ever made it to the finals."
"interesting."
"It's interesting to climb up from a weak tribe." Hafercheng quickly accepted the situation.
Although he was once the Abyss Lord who controlled a region, relying on the resources of the Abyss Lord and a long period of time, his realm also reached the half-step third realm.
However, whether it is to impact the 'Lord of the Abyss' or to reach the third level, it is too difficult.
"This time, maybe it's an opportunity." Hafercheng said secretly.
…
“Woo.”
In the chaos of time and space, a young dragon only seven or eight meters long opened its eyes and looked around.
…
"Work faster and don't be lazy." A 12-meter-tall giant ape with one arm missing was pulling a truck and fell to the ground. A whip came over fiercely, which startled the giant ape with one arm missing and his eyes became much clearer.
"I became a member of the forest giant ape clan? And a one-armed one? Among all the clans, this is already a good start. Number one in the arena of all clans?" The one-armed giant ape quickly accepted the current situation.
…
5,623,922 higher-dimensional lives descended at the same time and scattered among the myriad races in this world.
The weak boy Xu Jingming learns a lot of information about this world through the information network.
"In this world, I have never heard of any way to prolong life. The common method among all races is to have sufficient control over the physical body to slow down the aging of the physical body, dozens of times slower, and then one can naturally live for thousands of years." Xu Jingming thought.
Slowing down aging?
But it still depends on the basic lifespan. Those basic lifespans are tens of thousands of years. If the aging of the physical body is slowed down several times, then one can live for tens of thousands of years, which is a huge advantage.
The basic lifespan of the human race is only about 200 years. How long can you live?
"If I want to take first place, I obviously have to surpass everyone in human history and achieve unprecedented control over my body." Xu Jingming thought, "This way, my body will age more slowly, and I should be able to live longer."
"Considering that more than 5 million high-dimensional beings will participate in the competition, the threshold of the Ten Thousand Races Arena will be greatly raised in the future."
The thresholds in the past were the result of competition among indigenous lives.
The threshold in the future will be different.
"Most high-dimensional beings have clones in the outside world." Xu Jingming could also sense thousands of clones in other territories. "The clones have interconnected memories. When faced with difficulties in this world, the clones in other territories have terrifying 'thinking speeds' and can quickly deduce solutions."
"The only problem..."
Xu Jingming frowned slightly, "There are great obstacles between this world and other territories, and the transmission of consciousness is also a bit slow."
The other clones were all high-dimensional beings in the eternal realm. There was no delay in the transmission of consciousness.
However, this world has extremely strong obstacles, and the transmission of consciousness has a significant "delay".
"The transmission of consciousness was delayed by about 0.15 seconds." Xu Jingming made a judgment.
Fighting and killing, as fast as lightning.
The delay is 0.15 seconds, 0.15 seconds is enough for masters to make ten or a hundred moves.
"Whether it's the spiritual realm cultivated over a long period of time, or the speed of the clone's thinking and reasoning, or the level of skills in all aspects... the advantages of high-dimensional life forms over the natives are still too great." Xu Jingming said secretly.
“However, considering the life span limit, more than 99.99% of the more than 5 million high-dimensional lives will be eliminated and die in this world.” Xu Jingming was very clear about the degree of danger.
"The most important thing is..."
Xu Jingming looked at his weak body and said, "Don't die when you are weak."
I haven't been this weak for a long, long time. I feel like my physical fitness when I was eight years old was stronger than it is now.
