Chapter 1897: Insect Race Scheming! Life-Saving Secret Technique!

The Star Devourer Ruler returned to the real world.

At the first moment, through the Insect Race's special encrypted channel, she contacted the clan's high-level members.

In the virtual conference room, several towering figures sat in attendance.

Their auras were like abysses and prisons; all were terrifying existences at the Insect Race's Realm Venerate stage.

"Fellow Ancestors, the situation has changed."

The Star Devourer Ruler's deep purple eyes were full of Solemn, "Xu Jingming's strength far exceeds our estimates."

She waved her hand to unfold a light screen, projecting the footage of Xu Jingming instantly killing the Blood Locust Ruler in the Return to Origin Great World.

As well as the battle footage of his previous winning streak of over two hundred matches.

Light and shadow flickered; the instant-kill scene, fast as lightning, played on a loop.

"Initial Tribulation Ruler, instantly killing a Supreme?"

A Realm Venerate shrouded entirely in shadows spoke slowly, "Are you certain there's no mistake?"

"Absolutely certain."

The Star Devourer Ruler bowed and said, "I witnessed it with my own eyes; the Blood Locust couldn't withstand even a single move in his hands.

This Xu Jingming... is simply a monster."

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

On the light screen,

Xu Jingming's black figure stood calmly, the Lei Guang at his spear tip seemingly still flickering.

"Such heaven-defying talent..."

Another Realm Venerate, born with six pairs of compound eyes, said in a deep voice, "Does he have any weaknesses?"

"Weaknesses?

In terms of strength, he should be at the Supreme Ruler level; only someone stronger can defeat him."

The Star Devourer Ruler paused slightly, collected intelligence rapidly flashing through her mind, then affirmed:

"In terms of daily life, his weakness should be women."

"Women?" That Realm Venerate's compound eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes."

The Star Devourer Ruler nodded, "According to intelligence transmitted back by our spies inside the human race,

on his homeworld Blue Star, Xu Jingming has over ten women in the open alone.

And unlike ordinary Rulers, he values these women greatly.

Even for their sake, he has clashed with other humans on multiple occasions."

"Women? Lowly desire."

The Shadow Realm Venerate who spoke first let out a cold snort, his tone carrying disdain:

"But it happens to be a weakness, convenient for us to exploit."

He paused, six arms tapping lightly in the void:

"Activate the Spider Queen; she has lurked in the human race for four million years, it's time she made a move."

As these words fell, the atmosphere in the conference room stagnated slightly.

"Is it worth it?"

Another Realm Venerate, slightly smaller in build with transparent thin wings on her back, hesitated:

"If the Spider Queen advances one more step, breaking through to the Realm Venerate stage.

That would be a massive asset for us within the human race.

Deploying her now, would it not..."

"How easy is it to break through to Realm Venerate?"

The Shadow Realm Venerate interrupted her, voice icy:

"If she could break through, she would have done so long ago.

Over four million years without any movement proves her potential is exhausted."

His gaze swept across all Realm Venerates present, and he said slowly:

"Xu Jingming's threat is too great.

An Initial Tribulation Ruler can slay a Supreme; if he steps into the Supreme Ruler stage, how strong would his combat power be?

If he breaks through to Terminus in the future, or even Realm Venerate..."

The words were unfinished, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Moreover, his talent is too terrifying, his growth speed too fast."

The Shadow Realm Venerate continued, "We must eliminate him before he fully matures.

Proceed according to the original plan; it's inconvenient to act inside the Return to Origin Sacred Hall.

Have the Spider Queen lure Xu Jingming out of the Sacred Hall area, then strike to kill."

"... Yes." The Thin-Winged Realm Venerate finally nodded.

"Good."

The Shadow Realm Venerate made the final decision, "Star Devourer, you continue monitoring Xu Jingming in the Return to Origin Sacred Hall; as for the Spider Queen, I will contact her personally."

"Understood." The Star Devourer Ruler bowed and accepted the order.

The light and shadows in the virtual conference room slowly dissipated.

Returning to reality, a trace of cold killing intent flashed through the Star Devourer Ruler's eyes:

"Xu Jingming, you won't live much longer; blame only yourself for being too monstrous!"

Meanwhile, inside Xu Jingming's villa.

The competition continued, but Xu Jingming no longer put much heart into it.

"Match two hundred eighty-seven, duel concluded! Victor: Human Race Heavenly Punishment Ruler!"

The electronic referee's count echoed in his consciousness sea.

Xu Jingming didn't even need to devote his full attention to the Return to Origin Great World.

Merely splitting off a wisp of thought to control his virtual body was enough to crush them.

"Master! After this, you'll probably become famous!"

Wila's excited voice rang out, "Now it's not just the Return to Origin Great World.

The news has already spread back to the virtual universe; they all say you're the human race's number one talent in endless ages!"

"Fame likewise brings danger."

Xu Jingming's eyes flickered slightly, "After this, the various alien races will probably all want to eliminate me."

He didn't plan to use True Demon Form in the subsequent matches.

This counted as the final trump card he kept for himself.

"But True Demon Form alone isn't secure enough.

I still need other life-saving trump cards......"

Xu Jingming fell into contemplation.

Though his divine body was strong, even if injured it could continuously recover.

But once he encountered an over-standard expert.

If they completely annihilated his divine body in a short time, he would die all the same.

"A Boundary Lord who cultivates the Time Extreme could reverse time and resurrect me.

But that ultimately relies on an outsider, and alien races also have ways to set up special environments preventing my resurrection.

The most secure method is still relying on myself......"

Speaking of life-saving secret arts.

The first thing Xu Jingming thought of was the Life Fate Core and Life Fate Seed he had obtained back when he was at the Universe stage.

Even if he died, he could resurrect through the Life Fate Seed.

Unfortunately, after breaking through to the Eternal stage, his two Fate Cores both dissipated, condensing into a divine body.

Consequently, the Life Fate Seed also lost its function.

"Life Fate Seed......"

Xu Jingming flipped his right hand, and a jade-green seed emitting a green halo appeared in his palm.

This was the Life Fate Seed; he had preserved it until now.

"Back when I first broke through to the Eternal stage, I wanted to make use of this Life Fate Seed.

But afterward I never had time, so it was always shelved.

Now I still have to compete; I can't pull away for the moment, but I can start researching it."

For the current Xu Jingming.

Any newly developed secret art must be T0-grade to be of use.

A T0-grade secret art, even for veteran Rulers.

Would take tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years to develop and perfect.

But for him, he could directly develop and allocate points through the Deep Blue System.

"However, even with Deep Blue point allocation, sufficient accumulation is still needed.

My understanding of life origin is too shallow; I'll have to find someone to consult."

Xu Jingming suddenly looked out the window at the neighboring villa.

Silver-white moonstone exterior walls.

Under the Return to Origin Continent's pale golden glow, they shone with a soft luster.

That was Ruler Ling Ge's residence.

"Ling Ge is of the Spirit Race, specializing in life origin.

My Fate Core also came from the Spirit side, so I can consult her."

Thinking of this, he hesitated no longer.

In one teleport he arrived before the neighboring villa's door, raised his hand and pressed it on the access control, transmitting his divine thought:

"Ling Ge, are you in? I have something to consult you about."

A moment later, the villa door slowly opened.

The first thing that met his eyes was a touch of cool, pale silver.

Ruler Ling Ge stood inside the door, clearly having just emerged from meditation.

She had changed out of her pale green long dress, now wearing a simply styled silk house robe.

The robe's color was moon-white interwoven with pale silver.

The fabric was light, thin, and soft, draping naturally along her graceful, tall figure.

At her waist, only a thin sash of the same color scheme was loosely tied.

Outlining a willow-slender waist, and below it the suddenly ample, proud curve.

The robe hem reached her calves; through the slits could be faintly seen straight, slender calf lines, her skin fair as jade.

Bare feet stepped on the smooth floor.

Ten toes round and crystalline, tinged with a faint silver-pink.

Her silver hair was unbound, cascading over her shoulders like spilled moonlight.

A few strands fell across her chest, tracing heart-stopping curves together with the silk robe.

Long, pointed elven ears emerged from her hair, the natural silver patterns on their rims catching the soft indoor light with a subtle shimmer.

That stunningly beautiful face remained cold and clear, yet perhaps because she was in her own quarters,

it held less of the usual noble detachment, and a touch more lazy ease.

Especially those silver-moon eyes.

Right now they held unconcealed surprise, looking Xu Jingming up and down from the doorway.
