Chapter 1152

Since breaking through to the ninth stage, Xu Jingming had almost never slept again.

His physical body and spiritual force were so formidable that he no longer needed rest.

And after learning that the Magma Fire Beast was about to awaken,

even with the system by his side, his pressure was pushed to the limit.

He had not paused for a single moment—his spiritual force taut, hunting monsters across the entire world to enhance his strength.

Then, during the battle with the Magma Fire Beast, he exhausted every ounce of his power to imprison it.

Thus, this sleep upon returning to the villa lasted three full days before he awoke.

Jiang Chu, Su Qingli, Ling Shuang, Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chuxuan, and the Leng Yuexi sisters had all remained by his side without leaving.

"Jingming, you're awake?!"

When Xu Jingming awoke on the white bed, the women in the room exclaimed in delight.

Emers even looked at him with concern: "How do you feel?"

"Better than ever."

Xu Jingming smiled, then asked: "During my sleep, did the Moon show any movement?"

"Don't worry—I've been monitoring it the whole time."

The green-haired, twin-tailed little girl Eva giggled:

"The Magma Core Blood Dragon hasn't stirred at all—it likely hasn't sensed any anomaly in its avatar.

It'll probably take another two or three hundred years before it notices."

"Good." Xu Jingming was very satisfied.

If nothing goes wrong, he will soon enter the cosmos and head for the Noah Empire.

The Noah Empire is a Level-One Civilization interstellar nation, its sovereign having reached the peak of immortality, with countless powerful warriors under him.

The Magma Core Blood Dragon is merely at the Stellar Peak—once he reveals his talent, he can easily summon a Cosmic-tier warrior to kill it.

It's nothing to fear.

"Rest is over. Let's go—first, take a shower.

Then it's time to fulfill your promises."

Xu Jingming leapt from the white bed, his gaze burning as he looked at them.

After three days of sleep, his body needed stimulation to awaken.

"Then let's all go together."

Su Qingli, Ling Shuang, and the others were used to this, but Emers and the Leng Yuexi sisters, who had only recently joined, felt slightly shy.

Even so, they still nodded lightly and followed them into the bathroom.

The villa's bathpool was large enough to easily accommodate eight people.

The pressure accumulated during the apocalypse needed release—this night, the women were especially wild.

Even Emers and the Leng Yuexi sisters fully let go.

Xu Jingming naturally cooperated willingly, until over six hours later, the women fell into exhausted sleep.

Yet Xu Jingming, still vibrant and brimming with vitality, left the bedroom and walked alone to the villa's living room.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, stars sparkled, and occasional firework and firecracker sounds echoed.

Today was the Great Xia Spring Festival, and with the apocalypse lifted,

two joys coincided—despite it being past four in the morning, people still celebrated enthusiastically.

"Eva, which planet is the fastest to contact the Noah Empire from?"

Xu Jingming sat on the sofa, picked up a bottle of juice from the table, and drank it in one gulp.

Not only had Emers and the others lost fluids—he'd lost a lot too, and needed replenishment.

"No wonder you're S-class—your physique is truly formidable. Fighting seven at once and not even tired."

Eva's holographic projection appeared in the living room, teasing him with a grin before turning serious:

"Qinglan Star."

She waved her small hand, and a star map instantly materialized in the living room.

Two planets appeared: one was Blue Star, the other Qinglan Star.

"Qinglan Star is 143.2 light-years from Blue Star.

With the light-speed ship provided by the Noah Empire, it would take at least 143 years.

But I told you before—about 0.5 light-years from Blue Star, there's a wormhole that leads directly near Qinglan Star.

That cuts the travel time drastically—only about seven months to arrive."

Eva said softly.

In fact, there were many other life-bearing planets near Blue Star that had entered the interstellar age.

But none of them had direct space wormholes—the Noah Empire's light-speed ships were the most basic model.

Their top speed was only one times the speed of light; traveling to those planets would still take fifty to sixty years.

So she eliminated those options outright.

"Just getting there will take seven months?"

Xu Jingming couldn't help but whistle.

He'd been on Blue Star for only thirty-some months since his arrival.

Seven months was already a long time for him.

He also thought of another question:

"The Noah Empire is 4.47 million light-years from Blue Star—how do we handle that?"

"Over four million years just on the road? I'd be long dead by then."

"Of course it wouldn't be that troublesome."

Yiwa shook her head. "Spaceships in the universe can reach speeds a thousand or even ten thousand times the speed of light.

And there's also the warp engine, which can drastically shorten travel time."

"Warp engine? What's the use of that?" Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

"This is a technology from the Mechanical Clan, used for trans-spatial travel.

A spaceship equipped with a warp engine still travels at light speed.

But traveling one light-year equals traveling ten million light-years in reality."

Yiwa explained, "A distance of 4.47 million light-years, in the face of a hundred-times-light-speed ship equipped with a warp engine, can be reached in just a few days."

"That exaggerated?" Xu Jingming's eyes went wide.

Traveling one light-year equals traveling ten million light-years — what kind of black technology is this?

"It's exactly that exaggerated.

Although the warp engine is called an energy black hole, even ordinary cosmic-level powerhouses can't afford to run one.

But in the face of a ten-million-times travel speed, that's the most trivial of drawbacks.

The ship I landed on Blue Star in was equipped with a warp engine.

Unfortunately, the ship was already torn apart clean by the ability-users of the First Civilization era.

But even if the ship were perfectly intact, Blue Star still couldn't supply the high-grade energy needed to start a warp engine."

Yiwa sounded a little regretful.

"Alright, let's wait until we reach Qinglan Star first.

Lord Hei Yu once said that once we reach a planet that has entered interstellar civilization, we can directly summon the interstellar fleet of the Noah Empire to descend.

They should have a way to send me there."

Xu Jingming murmured thoughtfully.

The Noah Empire rules ten nearby star systems, including the Milky Way.

There's no way everyone heading to the Noah Empire has to spend over a million years on the road.

"When are you planning to enter the universe?" Yiwa asked, somewhat eager to try.

"In about a month. First hold the wedding, then rest a while, and we should be ready to set off."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming replied.

His aunt Xu Qingwan had urged him so many times.

And it was time to give the girls a proper status — the wedding definitely had to be held.

Besides, there were still plenty of fierce beasts on Blue Star.

One month was enough for him to completely clear out these fierce beasts.

"Got it! I can hardly wait!"

A sense of unprecedented anticipation lit up Yiwa's little face.

Although she had already transformed into an intelligent lifeform, she still retained the memories of the Elven race at her core.

Compared to Blue Star, she naturally wanted to return to the starry sky.

And compared to a virtual intelligent lifeform of data streams, she still wanted to regain her own body.
