Chapter 1004

"By the way, Lord Hei Yu, can I still come to the Breakthrough Tower to find you afterward?"

Xu Jingming, after storing his exchange rewards and the spaceship in his space ring, asked.

No problem now doesn't mean no problem later.

Lord Hei Yu is an intelligence from outer space, knows many things; if you have questions later, you can ask her directly.

"No."

Lord Hei Yu shook her head, "This trial has ended; the trial tower will return to the spatial chaos layer and resume its wandering until it encounters the next civilization to initiate the next trial."

"I see." Xu Jingming felt a hint of regret.

"Don't worry—I'll give your intelligence a copy of the non-confidential portion of my database."

"Including data on the demon race, insect race, and other starfaring species."

"Really?"

Eva, the green-haired twin-tailed little girl, popped out of her smart bracer, staring excitedly at Lord Hei Yu.

"Of course."

Lord Hei Yu waved her right hand; endless streams of data transformed into virtual beams that flooded into Eva's body.

It took fully two minutes before gradually ceasing.

"Done. The data has been transmitted. I hope you can shatter the chains of your planet and reach the Noah Sanctuary to see my true form."

Lord Hei Yu looked at Xu Jingming.

"I thank you for your good words," Xu Jingming smiled.

Immediately, he felt the surrounding space compress, and he was forcibly ejected from the palace, returning once more to the outer square.

"Xu Jingming's back!"

"Wow! No wonder he received the civilization's legacy! Truly different!"

"Really? I don't see any difference."

"......"

The vast majority of people on the square had already completed their exchanges.

Upon seeing Xu Jingming emerge, they quickly turned their gazes toward him, trying to detect any changes.

Even if Xu Jingming had changed nothing at all, they'd still find something extraordinary to say.

"Hahaha! No wonder he's the number one prodigy of Blue Star! Nine-stage before twenty! Who dares question his strength now?"

As soon as Xu Jingming returned to the Great Xia team, Xue Jian's face flushed with excitement:

"Once we return to Great Xia, I'll immediately notify the Grand Councilor to promote you to a member of our Great Xia National Council!"

Besides Xue Jian's excitement, the rest of the Great Xia team gazed at Xu Jingming with awe, even reverence.

A nine-stage councilor at age twenty!

Such age. Such power.

Even in their wildest dreams, they'd never imagined such a scenario.

"Thank you, Lord Xue Jian, for your promotion," Xu Jingming smiled humbly.

"Promotion? This is what you deserve!"

Xue Jian feigned anger, then turned to Su Qingli: "Su Director, you've trained an outstanding student!"

"Jingming has always been diligent; my contribution is actually minimal," Su Qingli offered a breathtaking smile.

"Thank you to all trial participants for joining this trial. I now declare the 1031st trial of the Noah Civilization officially concluded!"

Suddenly, Lord Hei Yu's voice echoed from the sky.

Immediately, everyone—including Xu Jingming—felt the surrounding space compress.

One moment of blurred consciousness, and when they regained awareness, they were back on the square outside the Breakthrough Tower.

"What happened? Why am I out?"

"Ahh!! My S-rank rare herb—I was so close!"

"Has the Breakthrough Tower trial already ended?"

"......"

Over a hundred thousand people suddenly appeared around the Breakthrough Tower, their shocked exclamations never ceasing.

These people had been on different levels of the Breakthrough Tower and were all expelled simultaneously.

"Back."

Xu Jingming, scanning the surroundings, let out a long breath.

Though this Breakthrough Tower journey lasted only two months, the gains were immense!

First, his rank: he directly broke from eight-stage to nine-stage, his power multiplied dozens of times!

Second, the information related to the stars, and the elemental essences and Supreme Divine Blood he exchanged.

'Once I return to Blue Star, even just those three portions of Supreme Divine Blood will let me exchange for plenty of good items.'

Xu Jingming flashed a brilliant smile.

"Look! What's happening to the Breakthrough Tower?"

At that moment, someone suddenly pointed at the Breakthrough Tower and cried out in shock.

Xu Jingming instinctively looked over and saw the towering Breakthrough Tower trembling.

The spatial fissures surrounding the tower instantly expanded to a much wider area.

Then, the entire Breakthrough Tower began plummeting into the spatial chaos layer.

"What's going on? Can't the Breakthrough Tower hold its position?"

In midair, Flame Divine Sovereign Lei Ding's heart lurched in alarm.

Although we didn't secure a civilization inheritance slot this time, that doesn't mean we won't get one next time.

But if the Void-Piercing Tower is gone, then the civilization inheritance slot will truly be lost!

"The spatial fissures around the Void-Piercing Tower are increasing, and we can no longer keep it in our Fire-Keeping World."

Emers shook her head, extended her jade hand, and re-tied the black ribbon over her eyes.

As the pair of brilliant golden eyes were obscured, the Fate Vision in the sky vanished as well.

She immediately ignored Lei Ding and flew toward the ground, toward Xu Jingming's direction.

"This woman..." Lei Ding's expression darkened.

Only Emers knows how to stabilize the Void-Piercing Tower.

If Emers doesn't act, I have no way to handle this situation!

"Forget it—there's still Xu Jingming. The civilization inheritance is on him; there'll be plenty of chances later!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Lei Ding then flew toward the ground, toward Allen's direction.

"Civilization Inheritor Xu Jingming, farewell. I hope you encounter my true form."

A clear, melodious voice echoed in Xu Jingming's heart, and immediately the massive Void-Piercing Tower plunged into the spatial chaos and vanished.

Only a vast spatial fissure remained in its place.

This spatial fissure looked as if the entire space had been torn open by a giant hole.

"Noah Empire..." Xu Jingming's gaze flickered.

With the Deep Blue System's aid, given him just a little more time, he would eventually break free from Blue Star and enter the stars!

Thinking of the universe's vastness and the multitude of species, he felt a surge of excitement.

"Xu Jingming."

A crisp voice rang out; Emers descended, clad in a lavish pale-gold Jinsezong Sect robe that accentuated her tall, slender figure.

Emers, her eyes gently bound by black ribbons, descended from the sky and arrived before Xu Jingming.

Her powerful, noble aura caused the once-noisy crowd around her to hold their breath.

They all gazed at Xu Jingming with envy.

To speak with the Priestess my lord was undoubtedly a great honor.

"Priestess my lord," Xu Jingming bowed respectfully.

"Are you free now? I need to speak with you."

Emers looked at Xu Jingming, her voice filled with unmistakable admiration.

Here it comes! Emers's recruitment!

Xu Jingming had expected this; just as he was about to nod in agreement—

Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "Jingming, wait!"

Xu Jingming turned and saw Zhou Ying, Song Qiuyun's aunt.

"Auntie? What are you doing here?" Xu Jingming was surprised.

"It's the Lei Ting Wu Guan! The hall is in trouble!"

Zhou Ying, having just squeezed out of the crowd, hurriedly said.
