The island was very quiet. Xu Jingming’s residence was located in the southeast corner of the island, covering more than a thousand acres.

“Master, you can check your personal interface using your privileges at the Primordial Research Institute,” the robot butler said respectfully. “In your personal interface, there’s a sub-panel, ‘Primordial Research Institute.'”

“Thank you, 1027,” Xu Jingming said with a smile.

“It’s my honor to serve you, Master,” the robot butler replied. “Master, do you want something to drink?”

“Just prepare some snacks and drinks,” Xu Jingming instructed before sitting down in the courtyard. He then opened his personal interface and began checking.

As for the robot butler, he prepared some snacks and drinks and stood silently in a corner, awaiting Xu Jingming’s orders.

After Xu Jingming opened the ‘Primordial Research Institute’ sub-panel—

Register a code name? The peripheral members are geniuses from all over the universe. They have to be careful and hide their identity. Xu Jingming thought for a moment and registered the alias he had previously used: “Wu Ming!”

From then on…

Before becoming a Rank 9 Origin lifeform, Xu Jingming’s code name in the Primordial Research Institute would remain as ‘Wu Ming.’

Peripheral member list? Xu Jingming tapped it and found the names of 8,253 people.

There are only about 8,000 peripheral members in the Primordial Research Institute? Xu Jingming found it excessively few. After all, the universe’s human dominion was so vast.

There were rules to the ranking of the list.

Xu Jingming was in the same group as seven other peripheral members.

Xu Jingming tapped on it and realized that the seven of them lived on the same island as him. The seven of them are my neighbors?

Every peripheral member can directly send messages to one another. Xu Jingming looked at the list. Official members… I can only contact Senior Brother Moshen who took the initiative to add me.

He couldn’t contact the other official members.

Primordial City? Xu Jingming read the introduction. They specially built a ‘Primordial City’ virtual world to serve the peripheral members?

The peripheral members could communicate in the Primordial City virtual world.

To be recruited as a peripheral member means that they are peerless geniuses from all over the universe. Many of them will be Origin lifeforms in the future, Xu Jingming thought. Primordial City, where the peripheral members gather, has extraordinary significance.

Xu Jingming didn’t contact anyone, nor was he in a rush to head to the Primordial City virtual world!

This is the research institute’s database? Xu Jingming’s eyes lit up as he opened it.

There was one human evolution legacy after another.

Almost all the evolutionary legacies that humanity possessed were in its records. Paramount, Legendary, Lv. 10, and so on. The content of these legacies ranged from Lv. 1 to 9. They were completely open and made public to all peripheral members!

Xu Jingming was stunned and dazzled. Although some legacies can be bought elsewhere, they are all relatively low-end content. As for Paramount legacies? I can’t come into contact with them at all. And in the Primordial Research Institute, all legacies from Lv. 1 to Lv. 9 are free of charge!

There are even video lectures? Xu Jingming saw a massive number of videos. They were videos of teachers giving lectures throughout history.

I can even possess big shots for free? Xu Jingming browsed. I can possess many historical Lv. 10 experts and even cosmic legends for free without limit.

There’s also a massive amount of technological knowledge…

Xu Jingming browsed through everything.

This was an unimaginable database! Be it for evolvers or great scholars, they would be excited.

Only for personal research. Distribution is prohibited. Xu Jingming saw this notification. As a peripheral member of the Primordial Research Institute, he could study this information to his heart’s content. But distributing it? Under the virtual world’s surveillance, it was impossible to copy or record anything.

That was unless he relied on his memory to copy it in reality, but it took a long time to copy the knowledge in a legacy.

However, the value of knowledge from Lv. 1 to Lv. 9 was limited. How stupid was it to betray the Primordial Research Institute just for this?

Evolutionary knowledge, technological knowledge, video lectures, possession of experts, and a lot of guidance on cultivation. There are also many books that share valuable experience. Xu Jingming was delighted by this. The Primordial Research Institute allows members to do research and self-study as much as they want.

Xuan’s Beam Transformation in its entirety was in the Primordial Research Institute’s collection, but as a peripheral member, he could only read the early content.

…

After checking the database, he checked his personal resources.

What he saw surprised him.

As a peerless genius from a weak civilization, even though he had broadened his horizons in the past year, the ‘resources’ given to him by the Primordial Research Institute still made his heart tremble.

First, the Primordial Battle Armor v2.0, developed by the dean of the Primordial Research Institute. It’s only limited to peripheral disciples (core) of the Primordial Research Institute. It has multiple functions such as disguise, spatial teleportation, and protection. After wearing it, one will have basic destructive power comparable to a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform! It can withstand attacks from a peak Lv. 10 for 10 minutes without being damaged. Detailed functions will be provided after receiving the Primordial Battle Armor.

“Warning: The Primordial Battle Armor is to protect your life during implications. You are forbidden to use it to violate the Cosmic Human Alliance’s laws! Don’t expose your identity! The Primordial Battle Armor can’t withstand cosmic aliens. The destructive force of cosmic alien races that dare to infiltrate the human dominion is beyond your imagination.”
