The purple-robed Tutenmu stood on the grass in silence.
"Ambassador Vicar, is there really nothing you can do?" Tutenmu asked.
"I wouldn't have informed you if I had a solution," Ambassador Vicar replied.
Tutenmu sighed softly. "With humans being one of the top five species in the universe, I knew it would be very troublesome to corrupt their geniuses!"
The weaker species might only have one Firstborn realm high-dimensional lifeform that could be pushed over easily. However, the human race was much more troublesome.
"To corrupt Wu Ming, I used Master of the Abyssal Void's true projection and paid a huge price of five billion credits," Tutenmu said softly. "If I could possess him and clearly sense his growth process, it would've been worth it."
"But now, he's imprisoned! Ambassador Vicar can't even observe him. In other words, I can't possess him and take in his experiences during the years he is imprisoned."
"He might end up grasping Heart Realm Force the day he's released." Tutenmu shook his head gently. "I can only possess him and sense the outcome of him grasping the Heart Realm Force, but it will lack the process of him struggling and transforming."
Ambassador Vicar's voice sounded. "In the future, being able to take in the results can be considered a gain."
"The process is what's most important." Tutenmu was indignant. "Losing the process is equivalent to losing 70% of its value!"
"I'm considered talented enough to cultivate the Abyssal Void legacy and grasp Heart Realm Force. I'm the only one among the Void Celestials in this era capable of doing so," Tutenmu said. "But to become a high-dimensional lifeform through this?"
"If my Heart Realm Force builds up further, my chances of breaking through will increase. Human Wu Ming would've been my greatest boon." Tutenmu was very indignant.
It concerned his hope of becoming a high-dimensional lifeform.
Cosmic legends only had a lifespan of 100,000 years. High-dimensional lifeforms were truly transcendent!
"The human race probably imprisoned Wu Ming in a special spacetime to prevent me from prying." Ambassador Vicar's voice sounded. "Since you've made Wu Ming your test subject, the human race definitely won't let you have your way."
"I know." Tutenmu thought for a moment. "Thank you, Ambassador Vicar. I'll come up with something."
Xu Jingming was imprisoned Void Celestial Tutenmu was the unhappiest about this in the entire universe.
The three Paramounts aren't fools. Knowing that the Void Celestials are spying, they definitely won't give us a chance, Tutenmu thought. Then, I can only force Wu Ming to appear!
On one of the Lv. 10 battle planets on the Void Celestial battlefield.
A team of seven Void Celestials descended on this Lv. 10 battle planet.
Boom!
Terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions.
The team of 26 Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms on the human side hid inside the Lv. 10 battle planet, ready to attack at any time.
"I heard that the number one genius of your human race, Wu Ming, has gone crazy and is imprisoned." A Void Celestial scoffed and looked around. "Ordinary Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms like you are inferior to Wu Ming! Despite not being crazy, all you do is hide and launch sneak attacks."
"How would they have the guts to come out?" The Void Celestials laughed, all of them very relaxed and confident.
As for the human Lv. 10 Origin lifeform team, they were surprised.
"What? Senior Brother Wu Ming has gone crazy and is imprisoned? Is that true?"
"Why haven't I heard of it?"
"The game world created by Senior Brother Wu Ming has been taken over by the officials. The official explanation is that Senior Brother Wu Ming needs to enter seclusion. From the looks of it, he might really be imprisoned!"
"How can we believe the aliens' words?"
"There's probably a reason why the Void Celestials say so."
The team members conversed. Clearly, this news had agitated them. After all, Wu Ming was a top indisputable figure in the human race! His going crazy and imprisonment was definitely big news!
On Lv. 10 battle planets and even Lv. 9 battle planets, the Void Celestials revealed that Wu Ming had gone crazy and was imprisoned.
After a large number of Lv. 10 and Lv. 9 Origin lifeforms learned of this, this matter naturally couldn't be hidden anymore. Soon, most Origin lifeforms learned of this news.
Senior Brother Gu Shan, Senior Sister Moyu, Redeye, Monina, Metal Feather, Kabuya, and Azurescale gathered in the virtual world.
The eight of them were peripheral members of the Primordial Star lineage back when Xu Jingming was recruited by the Primordial Research Institute. More than 700 years had passed, and only Azurescale hadn't become an Origin lifeform. The others had already broken through.
"Redeye! There's been plenty of talk claiming that Wu Ming has gone crazy and is imprisoned. Is it true?" Gu Shan asked.
"This news came from the Void Celestials." Redeye was also perplexed. "We humans haven't heard of it before. After all, it hasn't been a while since Wu Ming was still fighting challengers in Wu Ming's World."
"Wu Ming's World has been taken over by the officials," Monina said worriedly. "Something isn't right. I asked my sister, but she said she didn't know either."
Monina was a core member of the Cloud City Association and Primordial One's biological sister.
Primordial One's relatives were extremely talented. For example, Jade Feather was a Lv. 10 Origin lifeform and Primordial One's younger sister. In the entire cosmic human race, it was very rare for many siblings to become Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms.
"Wu Ming is corrupted by high-dimensional powers, so it's indeed possible for him to go crazy," Moyu said. "Moreover, this news has spread like wildfire. The officials didn't step forward to clarify, nor did Wu Ming come forward to refute the rumors."
"Has he really gone mad?" Redeye was worried. "I'll ask Senior Brother Fasci."
Everyone present immediately nodded.
Deputy Island Lord Fasci managed the entire Spacetime Island. Deputy Island Lord Fasci was one of the most powerful figures apart from the three Paramounts. He would definitely know if Wu Ming was imprisoned.
Redeye sent an inquiry.
"He's indeed imprisoned. Don't ask any further," Deputy Island Lord Fasci replied.
Redeye's expression changed slightly when he read the reply.
"What's wrong?" His companions looked at Redeye.
"The situation might be a little complicated." Redeye glanced at his companions. "But one thing is certainWu Ming is indeed imprisoned."
"He's really imprisoned?" Gu Shan, Moyu, and the others were worried but helpless.
"With Wu Ming's status, approval from the three Paramounts is required to imprison him," Redeye whispered. "Don't spread the news of his imprisonment."
"Yeah." Everyone present had solemn expressions.
For the three Paramounts to agree to imprison Xu Jingming meant that the situation was very serious.
"It's all over the place, but the officials play deaf. There's no response at all." Lunarstar held a crystal ball and looked at the evolving spacetime in it. "Wu Ming didn't step forward either! The Void Celestials are rightWu Ming has gone crazy and is imprisoned."
"Hahaha" Lunarstar laughed happily. "He first killed my brother and then publicly threatened me! How many people did he kill, and how many families did he offend over the years? I knew that his corruption was increasingly affecting him. He's now completely crazy."
"A lunatic?"
"The cosmic human race won't tolerate a lunatic's constant lunacy; that's why he's imprisoned." Lunarstar smiled and looked at the weather outside. "The sun is really good today!"
Xu Jingming had previously killed his brother and publicly threatened himin the Supreme Court. That was a slap to Lunarstar's face!
As the Primestar civilization's emperor, Lunarstar had been embarrassed! Yet, he couldn't do anything about it.
Finally, this day had arrived.
"I hope you will be imprisoned until you die of old age," Lunarstar scoffed.
"Dad, is Xu Jingming really crazy?" Tejano looked at his father in front of him.
Redmond shook his head slightly. "He's not crazy, but he's indeed imprisoned."
Tejano gazed at his father in confusion. "He's not crazy, but he's imprisoned?"
"As long as Xu Jingming wants his reputation, he will have to refute the rumors deliberately released by the Void Celestials," Redmond said. "They hope that Xu Jingming will make contact with the outside world. The more connections he has, the more the Void Celestials can use spacetime, karma, and many other traces to observe Xu Jingming with their high-dimensional spying."
"Observe Xu Jingming?" Tejano fell into thought.
"The Void Celestials corrupt alien geniuses and make them test subjects. They want to observe the test subjects' transformation process," Redmond said. "How can they sit still if they can't see their test subjects?"
Tejano nodded.
"The more they want it, the more we won't satisfy them," Redmond said. "Even if it's embarrassing, we won't satisfy them. The three Paramounts have long ordered that Xu Jingming be prohibited from entering the virtual world."
"The Paramounts gave the order?" Tejano came to a realization. "Dad, is Xu Jingming's situation serious?"
Redmond looked at his son and nodded slightly. "Very! In fact, he has begun to gradually go crazy after being imprisoned."
"He's gone mad?" Tejano's expression changed.
"Has Dad gone crazy? Imprisoned?" Xu Lixing and Li Miaomiao naturally knew the news. As the executive officers of the Pearwood Group, their intelligence wasn't inferior to some Origin lifeforms.
"Don't panic. Write a letter and ask your father. Your father said that he could receive one letter a year," Li Miaomiao said.
"Alright." Xu Lixing nodded.
The mother and daughter quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Xu Jingming.
In just a moment, the mother and daughter received a reply.
Xu Lixing heaved a sigh of relief and smiled when she saw this. "Dad said that he was corrupted by high-dimensional powers. The Void Celestials want to pry into his corrupted situation, so they deliberately released the news to force him out. There's no need to bother about the news."
"It's your father's tone. I can tell." Li Miaomiao nodded slightly when she saw it. "Saying your father is crazy is a Void Celestial lie."
"Yeah, it's a lie." Xu Lixing nodded.
Although Li Miaomiao was relieved, there was a hint of worry between her brows.
******
In the Spacetime Prison.
"Master, I have news for you." Nine's voice sounded.
"Speak." Xu Jingming stopped his spear practice.
"Your daughter, Xu Lixing, wrote a letter," Nine said.
"Let me take a look," Xu Jingming ordered.
"You have to pass the sobriety test to read the letter," Nine replied.
"What sobriety test?" Xu Jingming's eyes glowed red. "Nine, you're no longer obeying me?"
"Master, you left behind 1,000 'letter reply templates' when you were lucid. Your daughter's letter was within the confines of your templates. I've already replied following the template based on your lucid instructions," Nine said.
"I want to read both the letter and the reply," Xu Jingming said angrily in a low voice. "That's my daughter's letter!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that, Master. You aren't authorized," Nine said.
