Chapter 616 - 616 Judgment (Part 1)

616 Judgment (Part 1)

The investigation report was very detailed; it recorded the grudge between Xu Jingming and Lunardo, as well as the detailed process of the public execution on Lulu. At the same time, it came with a large amount of interrogation information.

For example, the royal Moyun and the others lost consciousness in the face of the investigation team’s interrogation. They obediently explained everything like machines.

This information is quite fair.

Deputy Dean Redmond nodded and immediately extended his hand. A pen appeared in his hand, and he began writing his judgment: “Wu Ming synchronized Lunardo’s crimes with the virtual world and sentenced him to death. He also publicly executed him. First, this is an act that exceeds his authority. Second, the criminal evidence he provided isn’t sufficient. Wu Ming ought to be punished in light of this!”

“Lunardo isn’t an Origin lifeform. If he really died unjustly, an application for his resurrection would be fine. But with just him being killed, it’s less of a crime.”

Redmond continued writing.

In the Cosmic Human Alliance, the value of different people was different. If one killed a great scholar, the punishment would be much more serious. If one slaughtered billions of people, the punishment would also be very harsh.

“Wu Ming has made outstanding contributions to the Hellion and Void Celestial battlefields and was corrupted by the Void Celestials’ high-dimensional corruption. It’s understandable for him to make minor mistakes due to his warped mind and consciousness.”

It was very common for powerful Origin lifeforms, especially evolvers from Eternal Academy’s Abyss lineage, to act extreme and warped when their minds fell into the abyss.

The cosmic human race was very tolerant of them. They wouldn’t mind minor mistakes.

“Combining the three factors, the Primordial Research Institute has determined that one million credits will be deducted from Wu Ming as punishment.”

Redmond forwarded it to the Cosmic Human Alliance officials after he was done writing.

He shook his head slightly. Just because he’s a member of the royal family, the three royal families are hopping mad over such a trivial matter… The three Paramounts are indeed wise to restrict the influence of the three royal families. The three advanced civilizations are also limited to the three cosmic sectors and can’t be expanded.

If there are no restrictions, the entire cosmic human race will be at the mercy of the three royal families, Redmond thought.

The three Paramount realm experts favored their families in the early stages. But with time, they realized… If the three royal families were allowed to expand, they would eventually occupy the entire cosmic human race. When that happened, the vitality of the entire race and their ability to nurture geniuses would be greatly reduced in every aspect. This was something the three Paramounts didn’t want to see.

In fact, with hundreds of millions of years passing, the three Paramounts didn’t care about the three royal families because there were too many of them.

******

The Cosmic Human Alliance’s Third Supreme Court will carry out a trial ten days later? Xu Jingming received this notification in the virtual world.

Although he had set up a whitelist, this was an official notice. It would definitely be delivered.

I have to attend when the time comes? Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. Even the Cosmic Human Alliance wastes their energy on me just to kill a piece of trash. If I were one of the three Paramounts, I would’ve long wiped out the Cosmic Human Alliance’s brass!

Unfortunately, I’m weak now, so I can only let them try me. Xu Jingming’s eyes were cold.

This made Xu Jingming yearn to become stronger even more.

Whoosh.

Virtual world network, Abyssal Void Group world.

“Young Master.” Wu Qi bowed slightly when he saw Xu Jingming appear in the hall.

Xu Jingming sat on the throne in the hall and said, “Get my disciples to meet me.”

“Yes.” Wu Qi nodded and immediately gave the order.

Soon, a total of 30 young people gathered outside the hall before walking in together. They didn’t look young, but in fact… the youngest was only 16, and the oldest was only 53.

With the long lifespans of cosmic lifeforms, 16 to 53 years old was indeed considered very young.

“Greetings, Master.” The 30 youths kneeled down respectfully.

Xu Jingming’s dark robe on the throne emitted an aura that made them involuntarily revere and submit.

Xu Jingming looked down.

Disciples? Xu Jingming thought to himself. To Master of the Abyssal Void, even the 30 disciples are only his pawns and tools.

Anyone who dared to rebel or disobey would be punished by Master of the Abyssal Void! They were sentenced to death and revived so that they could redeem themselves… Xu Jingming vaguely sensed Master of the Abyssal Void’s means.

The dead were revived.

The strength of weak high-dimensional lifeforms increased tenfold, a hundredfold, or even a thousandfold in a short period.

It was easy for Master of the Abyssal Void.

“By becoming my disciples,” Xu Jingming looked down and said, “I’ll give you legacies, evolutionary resources, money, authority…”

These disciples burned with excitement.

Xu Jingming looked at these disciples, and his eyes turned darker. “I only have one rule—those who disobey me will die!”

“Yes, Master.” All the disciples continued kneeling respectfully.

Lord Wu Ming was one of the top figures in the cosmic human race. They were willing to follow him loyally, so they naturally didn’t think of rebelling.

“Let’s go to the legacy hall,” Xu Jingming instructed. “There are 72 cosmic legend legacies’ first parts there. With this, you can cultivate to Lv. 9. These legacies are different from the manuals bought from the outside world; they contain detailed visualizations.”

“Each of you can choose three legacies. If you can become Origin lifeforms… you can naturally enter top factions and learn the subsequent legacies.”

“Yes, Master.” The eyes of all the disciples burned.

Cosmic legend legacies?

They respectfully left and headed for the Legacy Hall.

“Young Master, giving them 72 cosmic legend legacies?” Wu Qi was surprised.

“It’s only the first half,” Xu Jingming said.

Top factions valued legacies at the Origin lifeform and high-dimensional lifeform stages. As for the basics in the early stages, they could still be bought. For example, Tejano studied Paramount realm legacies when he was a planetary lifeform.

Even if the basics were leaked, it was nothing.

Among the vast cosmic species, Origin lifeforms were considered one of the strong. High-dimensional lifeforms were the backbone of the race!

…

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye as Xu Jingming groomed his disciples.

Virtual world network, Cosmic Human Alliance’s Third Supreme Court.

There were already thousands of figures sitting in the spectator stands. Those who could sit in the spectator stands were either Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms or representatives of the three royal families.

“Brother Wu Ming is at the limit of Lv. 10, and he’s the most dazzling genius of this era. He has to go to court for killing a piece of trash from the royal family?”

“The three royal families have a population of billions. With so many of them, they shouldn’t have so many privileges!”

“It’s not easy for every Origin lifeform to be born, but what about the royal family? They were born royal! There are too many of them.”

In the spectator stands, the Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms chatted.

“Our royal family is also about survival of the fittest,” the royal representative nearby rebuked angrily. “Mediocre branches will be stripped of their royal status. If it weren’t for his brother’s outstanding talent, Lunardo would’ve long been stripped of his title as Primestar.”

“If some aren’t eliminated, the three royal families wouldn’t number in the trillions but quintrillions or more considering the time span we operate in.” An Origin lifeform scoffed.

“He killed a piece of trash like Lunardo; yet we are getting the Cosmic Human Alliance’s Supreme Court to try him?”

“It’s you Origin lifeforms who are the bullies! All of you rely on your individual strength to do whatever you want!” the royal family representative berated angrily.

Amidst the commotion, more and more people attended the court hearing.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Suddenly, a bell rang.

The entire courtroom fell silent, and the presiding judge appeared.

Hu!

The Primestar civilization’s emperor, Lunarstar, also appeared in the front row.

Hu!

Xu Jingming also appeared in the front row on the other side!

Hu!

Deputy Dean Redmond, Guardian Whitejail, and Deputy Island Lord Fasci—the representatives of the three strongest factions—appeared.

“Deputy Dean Redmond, Guardian Whitejail, and Deputy Island Lord Fasci, welcome.” The presiding judge smiled and nodded at the three sitting there.

The Supreme Court wasn’t held easily. After all, many important figures had to appear every time it was held.

“Welcome, 7,922 council members of the Cosmic Human Alliance Council.”

“Welcome, 1,299 royal representatives.”

“Welcome, 300 judges.”

The judgment of the Supreme Court wasn’t something the presiding judge could decide alone. It was mainly because the 300 judges had undergone strict selection and came from different factions in the cosmic human race’s Star Alliance. Only then could they become judges.

The presiding judge looked down. “First, everyone, let’s watch the entire case.”

Xu Jingming—who was sitting in the front row—also watched an illusory scene appear in front of him. Back when Lunardo arrived on Earth and wanted to take Xu Jingming in as his guard and servant for life, he was rejected by Xu Jingming…

Tejano mediated!

Lunardo left! He contacted the Black Moon civilization’s Merilun, and finally, the Black Moon civilization decided to withdraw completely. Space pirates attacked, and the Yellow-Shirted Envoy appeared…

Scenes were reenacted nearly perfectly.

“So Brother Wu Ming and Lunardo have such an old grudge.” The Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms came to a realization.

Since the Cosmic Human Alliance had decided to investigate, they would naturally investigate the root of the matter.

…

The illusory scene kept evolving.

It turned to Lulu. Xu Jingming—who was wearing a dark robe—appeared in domineering fashion. He brazenly killed Lunardo while a call to Lunarstar was made; he even threatened the latter.

After the execution, Xu Jingming traversed the void and left.

“This is a scene that has been traced back to the past and confirmed by Spacetime Island,” the presiding judge said. “Next, the Primestar civilization’s royal family will make a statement.”

“Everyone.” The spokesperson representing the Primestar civilization’s royal family got up and looked around. “The entire case is very clear. Although Wu Ming has a noble status, there’s no doubt that the Cosmic Human Alliance didn’t give him the right to enforce the law on the three royal families. Even if Lunardo commits a crime, Wu Ming doesn’t have the right to enforce the law.”

“He killed someone despite not having the right to do so. He’s clearly guilty!”

“He even contacted the emperor of our Primestar civilization and killed Lunardo while the call was connected. This is an even more serious provocation.”

“He also threatened the emperor—the emperor of an advanced civilization; this requires severe punishment!”

“I would like to point everyone’s attention to the evidence he provided to the virtual world; it isn’t enough to prove Lunardo’s crimes.”

“Summarizing these few factors, he has shown blatant disregard toward the royal family of an advanced civilization, ignored the laws, and killed a member of the Primestar civilization’s royal family at will. No royal family member can tolerate such humiliation!” the spokesperson continued angrily. “He has to be severely punished! Our Primestar civilization’s royal family requests that Wu Ming be severely punished!”
