dean explained.
“That’s why it’s extremely rare for someone like Monhado to pity the weak.
Monhado protected the weak out of pity, and that made enemies with too many high-dimensional lifeforms.
Eventually, that led to its death.”

The dean went on, “Based on my experience, nine out of ten natural high-dimensional lifeforms couldn’t give a damn about the lives and deaths of low-dimensional lifeforms.”

Xu Jingming nodded, understanding fully.

It’s just like how ordinary people could hold boiling water and scald countless ants to death, or slaughter countless pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese without a second thought.

And that’s how high-dimensional lifeforms viewed low-dimensional lifeforms.
So what if they crushed billions? Experimenting with countless lifeforms was nothing to them.

“Even though we transcended from lower dimensions to higher dimensions, some of us still see those in lower dimensions as nothing more than bugs and ants.
Take Gumo, for example.

“But let me tell you, the world of high-dimensional lifeforms is a brutal one.”

Eternal Tower Master’s gaze locked onto Xu Jingming.
“Some of our own kind, born in the human race, have succumbed to old age.
The Firstborn realm may have a lifespan limit, but most of them were killed!”

“I never thought it would be like this,” Xu Jingming whispered.

“Make no mistake, the fate of a species is in the hands of those in higher dimensions.
If we’re strong, the species will be strong.
If we’re weak, the species is nothing more than a ticking time bomb.
And if we die? The species will be wiped off the face of the universe,” Spacetime Island Lord intoned ominously.

“You need to get stronger, and fast,” Eternal Tower Master said, his eyes boring into Xu Jingming’s.
“Another companion will ease the pressure on us.”

“I’ll do my best,” Xu Jingming vowed, understanding the gravity of the situation.

The human race had flourished under the watchful eyes of the three Paramounts, and now, Xu Jingming was about to become the fourth foundation.

“I’ll keep this legacy safe and secure.
News of it cannot be leaked,” the dean warned, his eyes piercing into Xu Jingming’s.
“Only high-dimensional human lifeforms are worthy of learning it.”

Xu Jingming nodded in agreement.

Though he had learned it in advance, it wouldn’t do much good.
His focus now was on constructing a high-dimensional body and becoming a high-dimensional lifeform.

…

The Primordial Research Institute’s headquarters, in a chamber of a building nestled in a peaceful orchard, Xu Jingming sat The three Paramounts had a few loose ends to tie up with humanity, and all left on the same day.
They faced rejection at every turn during their brief stay in the universe.

The Primordial Research Institute’s headquarters, in a chamber of a building nestled in a peaceful orchard, Xu Jingming sat cross-legged.
A black flower bud hovered before him.

Sin Flower?

Xu Jingming delved into the black flower bud with his Heart Realm Force and was immediately overwhelmed by the impact of endless sin.
It was a level of pain comparable to that of Master of the Abyssal Void.
Sins of all varieties attacked Xu Jingming’s consciousness.

But after reaching the Heart Lotus realm, Xu Jingming had left all sins behind him.

It’s too damn hard, Xu Jingming grunted through gritted teeth.
With my strength, trying to control a second-realm high-dimensional weapon is practically impossible.

The infiltration process was slow and arduous, like a turtle crawling through mud.
It took more than eight grueling days for him to finally gain control over the Sin Flower.

Buzz.

With a single thought, Xu Jingming soared into the black flower bud.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The flower bud slowly began to bloom, and one of the black petals emerged.

I can only open one petal out of 36? This is pushing me to my limit.
Xu Jingming panted, finding it a struggle.
The sin contained within this single petal is beyond comprehension.

He had once sought out misery, experiencing the suffering and fate of humanity.

He had once been locked away, subjected to intense emotional trauma.

All the painful fates I’ve seen, all the pain and emotions I’ve felt… They don’t even come close to the sins contained within this one petal, Xu Jingming muttered to himself.
And this is just the first petal, the one with the least sins out of all 36.

Whoosh.

The black petal unfurled from the flower bud and began to rise.

I can harness the power of this petal to attack my enemies.
Xu Jingming sighed.
It unleashes a wave of sins that engulfs everything in its path.
Even I can only barely control it, and I can’t withstand its full force.
Any low-dimensional lifeform in this universe will succumb to it.

Low-dimensional lifeforms faced certain death from the petal’s attack, even though they could be revived.

But its greatest value to me is protection.
With the Sin Flower guarding me, I can safely explore my Heart Realm… Even if an enemy attacks me there, their assault will be directed to my true body through karma, but they’ll suffer the monstrous sins of the Sin Flower’s 36 petals.

He let out a sigh of emotion.
The dean acquired this Sin Flower to keep me safe.

The Heart Realm Force lineage was an existence like the mind, so it was difficult to kill them.
Usually, one had to track down all the clones through karma.

Their clones could be anywhere in the universe, in high-dimensional space, or in the Heart Realm.
The universe had its rules, so it naturally blocked all external forces.

The rules of the Heart Realm made it difficult for external forces to enter.
Therefore, it was extremely difficult to kill all the clones of a mental lineage high-dimensional lifeform.

But with the Sin Flower for protection, his life-preservation abilities would increase exponentially!

The dean, the Tower Master, and the Island Lord, wanted to ensure that the fourth Eternal Realm human could grow in strength safely.

Xu Jingming was suddenly delighted.
The infinite sins contained in the Sin Flower are perfect for my cultivation of Red Lotus Fire.

Red Lotus Fire suited Xu Jingming the best.

This legacy was divided into three realms: Cleansing Lotus Fire, Black Lotus Fire, and Red Lotus Fire.

As for the external resources needed for cultivation, they were sins! The more terrifying the sins, the stronger the Mind Fire that could be condensed.
