Chapter 348: The Criteria of Top Factions
Translator: CKtalon
Xu Jingming stood on the mountaintop and carefully watched the planetary river phenomenon.
From the source, a thin stream of water gradually gathers more and more water.?Xu Jingming’s eyes could see every drop of water clearly. He could see that these water droplets were all planets, and they were all modified planets that were different from ordinary planets.
With a sliver as the source, it grows stronger and stronger, gathering infinite planets to make up its mass…
Xu Jingming observed the appearance of every planet and the scene of countless tributaries gathering, gaining more and more.
Time passed.
Xu Jingming didn’t rest for a moment and stood still observing for 27 days! The immense number of observations finally produced a qualitative change!
So that’s how it is. It’s like a snowball—it snowballs in size. The snow from before will fuse into the snowball, causing it to snowball at a greater rate.?Xu Jingming watched the countless tributaries gather.?The planetary river’s ability to take in and engulf also increases exponentially! They even have a terrifying assimilation ability, allowing all the planets to be one!
Xu Jingming felt enlightened.
Instantly, the cosmic energy in his body spread out and scattered around. It flowed naturally around him, mimicking the scene of the planetary river.
Cosmic energy was the foundation. As it flowed, it intentionally ensnared the energy that carried the sunlight in this world!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An energy stream appeared around Xu Jingming! As more and more sunlight was ensnared, it became more and more dazzling.
Gradually, more and more solar energy was ensnared—it exceeded Xu Jingming’s cosmic energy by twice, thrice, quadruple, quintuple… As the energy stream continued to strengthen, Xu Jingming began to find himself unable to keep up.
......
Not good.
Bang!!!
The energy stream collapsed, and infinite energy dissipated, spreading in all directions. But under the influence of the invisible winds that blanketed the planet, the dissipated energy didn’t deal any damage.
Xu Jingming stood still and watched in a daze.?The more I ensnare, the harder it is to control everything.
How can a planetary river absorb billions of times the force with just a guiding sliver??Xu Jingming was puzzled. He couldn’t even ensnare ten times the energy; what he had comprehended was clearly still very weak.
…
The upper levels of the observation space were the observers from the 17 top factions of the cosmic human race.
The 17 top factions had a very long history, and the oldest of them was Planet Magus Ancestor.
The three Origin lifeform observers sent by Planet Magus Ancestor were simultaneously observing the 34 cosmic sectors’ Planets Number Seven. In front of them were 34 mysterious lands from different cosmic sectors.
Although there was an obvious delay from the various cosmic sectors, their consciousnesses had higher privileges when entering the virtual world.
They didn’t encounter any delays! They could simultaneously observe Planets Number Seven of the 34 cosmic sectors.
“There’s an explorer from the Hunter Cosmic Sector. He has gained something from studying the River of Stars.” An Origin lifeform observer noticed this. “He’s 31 years old this year and has cultivated for over two years. He’s a young man with good talent!”
“Based on the virtual world’s evaluation, he has gained some superficial understanding of the River of Stars.” Another Origin lifeform shook his head. “He only gained a superficial understanding from watching the River of Stars for 27 days. It will take him at least a few years to attain basic mastery. His potential is too ordinary! With such potential, he isn’t qualified to come into contact with the paramount evolutionary manuals of humanity.”
“His potential is quite lacking.” A third observer nodded.
They didn’t think much of Xu Jingming.
In the eyes of the regional factions, geniuses who could enter Planet Number Seven were treasures! But to Planet Magus Ancestor, he didn’t catch their eye! They believed that his potential was still inadequate.
The paramount manual corresponding to the River of Stars phenomenon belonged to Planet Magus Ancestor. Over the years, a large number of evolvers and scholars had studied it. Planet Magus Ancestor’s had deep and profound knowledge pertaining to the River of Stars after all those years.
If one wanted to take this evolutionary path, joining Planet Magus Ancestor was the most suitable choice.
According to their recruitment criteria, one had to have basic mastery of the opportunities on Planet Number Seven! The candidate needed to receive votes from three observers.
Xu Jingming had only gained superficial insights from studying the River of Stars after 27 days. He didn’t evoke any voting among the observers.
Huh??The three Origin lifeform observers on Planet Magus Ancestor’s side suddenly looked at Planet Number Seven in the Divine Arrow Cosmic Sector. There, an explorer was also observing the River of Stars and had already gained astonishing insights.
“A genius has appeared in Divine Arrow Cosmic Sector.” The eyes of the three Origin lifeform observers lit up.
“He’s 98 years old this year and has cultivated for 95 years. He’s a Lv. 7 cosmic lifeform. In terms of cultivation talent, he’s inferior to the genius from Hunter Cosmic Sector, but he has truly gained basic mastery after comprehending the River of Stars for 35 days.”
“It’s considered fast to gain basic mastery in 35 days. It will probably take that person from Hunter Cosmic Sector several years to gain basic mastery. I think we can recruit him.”
“Aye.”
“I agree too.”
The three Origin lifeform observers quickly gave a pass.
The peerless genius from an intermediate civilization who started cultivating at the age of three had been invited to join one of the 17 top factions—Planet Magus Ancestor—because he had gained basic insights into Planet Number Seven’s River of Stars.
As for Xu Jingming, he clearly couldn’t meet the recruitment requirements for Planet Magus Ancestor.
******
Xu Jingming studied the opportunity provided by the River of Stars. Energy constantly flowed around him before finally collapsing again.
It’s too difficult. The deeper I go, the harder it gets. How do I ensnare countless tributaries and even assimilate them into one??Xu Jingming felt as if he were reading Greek. It was much harder than the hardest high-dimensional spatial geometry he had ever seen.
I probably won’t gain much from months of study.?Xu Jingming also had a clear understanding of himself.?I should quickly head to the next opportunity.

Xu Jingming didn’t waste any time because he only had two months left to explore.
Whoosh!
He immediately soared into the sky and flew to another opportunity. In just a moment, he flew more than 1,000 kilometers and landed in a desert.
This is it.?Xu Jingming stood in the desert and looked at the pyramid floating in front of him.
The prismatic pyramid had a total of four faces, and every face was an equilateral triangle! Its edges were more than 100 meters long, and every face hid a strange spacetime. The four different spacetimes gave off different feelings.
A spacetime prism.?Xu Jingming carefully observed it. This was an opportunity that had deeply attracted him previously, and he quickly became engrossed.
The prism spun slowly.
The four triangular surfaces took turns reaching the bottom, and the four hidden spacetime dimensions affected each other.
How magical.?Xu Jingming carefully sensed with his mind and consciousness, and he gained more and more insights.
Days passed.
One day, Xu Jingming suddenly opened his personal interface and chose a spear.
With the spear in hand, he executed his spearmanship in front of the spacetime prism. The spear in his hand completely turned into streams of light that chased after each other, and the sound waves affected his surroundings.
At this moment, the virtual world network had already made an appraisal: “No. 230534: Studied the Cosmic Originator and comprehended 1.2% of the ninth volume’s Spatial Lock.”
…
In the observation space.
One of the 17 top factions of the cosmic humans—Mother Stream Academy.
Mother Stream Academy had also arranged for three Origin lifeform observers to be in charge of observing the mysterious lands in the 34 cosmic sectors. When they received the appraisal information from the virtual world, they knew how much Xu Jingming had comprehended about the Cosmic Originator.
The comprehension of the ninth volume of the Cosmic Originator is 1.2%?
“A 31-year-old explorer from the Hunter Cosmic Sector. He cultivated for over two years, and his cultivation time is really short. His talent is pretty good. Unfortunately, his comprehension of the Cosmic Originator is only superficial.”
“What a pity!”
“His talent in cultivating the evolutionary method is really not bad. Unfortunately, his talent in the Cosmic Originator is still lacking.”
“He’s still far from reaching basic mastery.”
The three observers shook their heads.
“If he wants to have great achievements on the path of an Origin lifeform, it’s best if he learns the paramount manuals of the cosmic human race. He clearly doesn’t get the Cosmic Originator and only has some trivial insights.” The observers didn’t need to vote.
This level of comprehension was way too inferior.
Once one became an Origin lifeform, it was too difficult to rely on oneself to figure things out.
Typically, one studied the paramount tomes of the cosmic human race! The paramount tomes clearly explained the path to take, what problems there were, and how to overcome them! Moreover, it pointed straight to the Paramount realm. This was naturally much better than blindly figuring it out.
Those who could pass the tests of the first six planets and reach Planet Number Seven were quite outstanding in every aspect.
The 17 top factions paid attention to these geniuses’ talent in comprehending the opportunities on Planet Number Seven. If they could become cosmic lifeforms, they would be extremely talented in these paramount opportunities!
Firstly, their chances of becoming an Origin lifeform increased greatly. Secondly, after becoming an Origin lifeform and raising one’s level in life, cultivating a paramount tome would naturally be smoother.
The entire human race needed stronger Origin lifeforms! For example, becoming a Lv. 10 or even a cosmic legend.
“1.2% comprehension, and it’s only on the ninth volume of the Cosmic Originator?”
Mother Stream Academy had also eliminated him.
…
Xu Jingming stood in the desert and looked at the spacetime prism in front of him.
It’s the same as when I studied the planetary river. I gained quite a bit in the beginning, but it gradually became more and more difficult.?Xu Jingming was puzzled.?It’s the same for this prism. I feel like I can’t improve anymore.
He didn’t know how to tackle it. There were no manuals!
With only a prism in front of him, he had figured out everything he could. What he couldn’t figure out became even harder.
Suddenly, he sensed something—
That is??Xu Jingming saw a huge door of light appear in the distance, and three figures walked out.
The auras of these three figures were terrifying and vast, far exceeding those that Xu Jingming had come into contact with.
Origin lifeforms!?Xu Jingming instinctively determined that they were existences countless times stronger than him—existences that could wipe him out with a single breath. They were definitely not cosmic lifeforms!
He had experienced the limit of Lv. 8 on Neutron Star. It was far inferior to this level.
Three Origin lifeforms??Xu Jingming watched from afar. He could still see them clearly despite them being hundreds of kilometers away.
The three Origin lifeforms landed beside a river and looked at an explorer.
“Number 390506, we are pleased to invite you to join the Life Academy.” One of the leaders of the three Origin lifeforms spoke with a mighty voice that resounded through every corner of Planet Number Seven.
The other explorers on Planet Number Seven heard it as well.
He got invited.?Xu Jingming and the other explorers understood this and were very envious.
When could he be invited?
