Chapter 1560: Luxurious Panel! Summoning Order!

Three levels higher, but my current maximum combat power is only Eternal Stage Two.

That means I need at least Eternal Stage Four combat power before I can attempt to kill an Eternal Stage One.

This is so frustrating.

Xu Jingming shook his head.

Immediately, he stirred his thoughts, and a pale blue system panel unfolded before his eyes:

【Name】: Xu Jingming

【Level】: Cosmic Stage Eight

【Ability】: Annihilation Divine Thunder (T2)

【Physique】: 94.7 trillion Qi (+)

【Spirit】: 98.5 trillion He (+)

【Skills】: Spear Intent (Advanced), Furious Thunder Storm (T2, Perfect), Lei Yu: World Annihilation (T2, Perfect), Heavenly Thunder Wings (T2, Perfect)…

【Body Cultivation】: Star Core Lei Gang Body (T0, Third Stage)

【Spirit Refinement】: Ninefold Purifying Spirit Method (T0, Third Stage)

【Origin】: Thunder Origin (Ninth Stage), Destruction Origin (Ninth Stage), Life Origin (Fifth Stage)

【Gene】: Source Core Secret Scripture (Second Stage)

【Bloodline】: Lei Yu Demon (Zi Yan Demon Scripture T0, Fifth Stage)

【Source Points】: 46.4 billion

Eight months.

With Vera's Seduction Art, he had slain countless demons!

And this, was his luxurious system panel after constant point allocation.

Though his level was still only Cosmic Stage Eight.

His origins had already reached the Ninth Stage.

His combat power had long surpassed Nine-Star War General, reaching Eternal Stage Two.

Yet, he could defeat Eternal Stage Two.

But he could not kill them — which was undoubtedly the most agonizing thing.

Like holding a sharp blade that cannot cut water, with no purchase to be had.

Frustrating?

Hearing Xu Jingming's words, Vera nearly jumped out of her skin.

Her purple eyes widened in disbelief as she muttered sarcastically:

"In eight months, you broke from Cosmic Stage Six to Cosmic Stage Eight!

Both your origins reached perfection, and even T0-level body cultivation and spirit refinement techniques advanced to the Third Stage!

Which one of these isn't something other Cosmic Stage cultivators spend hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve?

Now you've done it in under a year, and you still think it's frustrating?"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, gesturing wildly with her small hands, her heart-shaped tail twitching angrily behind her.

Indeed.

When she first saw Xu Jingming's absurd way of breaking through while just sitting still, her worldview nearly shattered.

But later, watching this guy's aura surge every few days,

his origin stages climbing relentlessly, she had become completely numb to it.

This guy was simply not human!

No, even the demon race's most famed evolutionary mutants couldn't match his absurd pace!

She had never seen a second case like this!

"I just want to kill Eternal Stage enemies sooner," Xu Jingming shook his head.

With his current combat power, he could already defeat Eternal Stage Two demons.

But defeating them isn't enough — he cannot kill them, so he gains no Source Points.

He was desperately coveting the Source Points from Eternal Stage demons!

"Wanting to kill them doesn't necessarily mean waiting until you reach Eternal Stage Four combat power."

Vera's eyes flickered, floating beside Xu Jingming to suggest:

"The universe is vast, filled with wonders.

Some origin poisons, born from extreme star regions or special secret realms, can erase the life imprint of divine bodies.

If you refine these toxins and infuse them onto your spear, you should be able to kill Eternal Stage beings.

But toxins capable of threatening divine bodies are extremely rare — usually classified as SSS-grade resources."

"Forget it," Xu Jingming shook his head decisively.

In eight months, just killing demons alone —

without even processing the loot — he had already accumulated fifty billion military merits!

These merits could easily exchange for one SSS-grade resource.

But spending it all on just one toxin capable of killing Eternal Stage enemies? Too wasteful.

Better to wait until he grows stronger and kill them with raw power.

After all, he's only Cosmic Stage Eight — far from hitting the Cosmic Stage bottleneck.

"Tsk tsk, then there's nothing to be done."

The demon girl Vera spread her small hands, preparing to say more.

Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly, and he spoke:

"Master, your Virtual Universe has received a conscription order."

"Huh? A conscription order? Open it for me." Xu Jingming raised an eyebrow.

In the Outland Battlefield, actions by Cosmic-tier individuals are relatively free.

The appearance of a mandatory conscription order always signifies something major has occurred.

"Alright."

Vera waved her small hand, and a holographic projection screen unfolded within the control room.

On the screen appeared a solemn golden emblem, beneath which ran lines of concise, unquestionable text:

【Conscription Order】

To: Five-Star War General Xu Jingming

Reason: The Starfall Nexus is about to open; you are hereby conscripted to participate in the exploration mission.

Nature: Frontline Mandatory Conscription (refusal is prohibited except under unavoidable circumstances such as severe injury or engagement in an S-rank mission).

Requirement: Upon accepting this order, report to the Recruitment Office at the Aries Planet Fortress, Frontline Hub of the Third War Zone (coordinates attached), within ten standard stellar days. Failure to arrive on time will be treated as defiance of military orders.

Note: Details of the mission and reward specifications will be disclosed upon reporting.

Issued by: Nine Swords Dominator.

"Starfall Nexus? Mandatory conscription?"

Xu Jingming stared at the text on the screen, his brow slightly furrowed.

He hadn't expected to receive this.

He had only been in the Outland Battlefield for less than two years.

Though his military merit accumulation was terrifying, he was still merely a Five-Star War General.

Logically, such mandatory nexus exploration missions would prioritize veteran war generals.

"It seems my simulated battles in the Virtual Universe exposed my true strength."

Xu Jingming shook his head.

Every action within the Virtual Universe is recorded.

As a core member of the Eternal Star Alliance, he was a target of particular scrutiny.

Being conscripted wasn't surprising.

"Vera, gather all publicly available data on the 'Starfall Nexus.'" He instructed.

"Yes."

Vera immediately connected to the ship's database and limited public networks to search.

After a moment, she shook her head: "Master, the information available through public channels is extremely scarce.

Only the name and vague rumors exist, mentioning it opens roughly once every million years.

It appears linked to ancient star ruins, and not only our human race but other alien races also enter."

"It seems to have a special confidentiality level," Xu Jingming understood.

In the Outland Battlefield, information on many high-value nexuses or ruins is never fully disclosed, to prevent enemy races from learning details.

"So what do we do? Should we obey the conscription and head to the Third War Zone?" Vera asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Go? Of course we go," Xu Jingming smiled.

As a member of the human race, he had enjoyed the Eternal Star Alliance's prodigy benefits.

Now that he was needed to step forward and contribute, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, the Starfall Nexus isn't just for humans—it includes alien races too!

Killing demon races is killing; killing other alien races is also killing!

As long as he gains source points, he didn't care which alien race he killed.

By the way, Senior Sister Lin is a Nine-Star War General.

I wonder if she's also on the conscription list.

But we'll know when we arrive at Aries Planet."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming instructed Vera to set the course.

Set the destination to Aries Planet in the Third War Zone.
