From afar, Xu Jingming, the dean, Tower Master, and Redmond watched the countless species motherships. Spacetime Island Lord flew ahead into the void, radiating mighty forces that were divided into hundreds of millions of waves traversing spacetime and enveloping the species motherships within the human dominion.
Store!
Spacetime Island Lord maintained an air of tranquil composure, her left hand holding a miniature universe that seemed to defy the laws of physics. With a deft hand, she unleashed a multitude of forces that enwrapped the motherships, capturing them in an instant and depositing them into the minuscule world that she held in her palm.
Precision was key for Spacetime Island Lord—she couldn't risk damaging the precious species motherships. Thus, she opted to retrieve only a million of them at a time.
"What a powerful spacetime technique," Redmond said, surprised.
"Very impressive," Xu Jingming agreed, impressed. Despite being able to establish an inner universe, his attainments in spacetime were far inferior to Spacetime Island Lord's.
Spacetime Island Lord carried out another round every time she stored away a million motherships.
She was calm and patient. It took her a full ten minutes to store away all the countless species motherships scattered across the 34 cosmic sectors into the miniature universe.
The people in countless species motherships could originally see space, but the scenery outside changed immediately.
"The space outside has changed."
"We're no longer in the same space."
Countless people looked out the mothership windows, at the cosmic scenery that had changed drastically.
"We are now in a special miniature universe," a gentle voice sounded from the motherships' broadcast. "This miniature universe is suitable for us humans. We will be riding this miniature universe to our new distant home. It's estimated that this journey won't exceed a day."
"Ride a miniature universe?"
"I thought we were setting off on a species mothership, but it turns out we're setting off on a miniature universe. It won't even take a day? Universes are actually so close to one another?"
…
In the miniature universe, countless humans were engaged in discussion when Spacetime Island Lord handed over the responsibility to Xu Jingming.
"Xu Jingming, I'll leave it to you," she said.
Xu Jingming gazed at the miniature universe, which seemed no larger than a palm but was inhabited by countless human lifeforms. As he reached out to take it, he felt the weight of responsibility settle heavily on his shoulders.
"We have to be careful on the way to South Pavilion 3609 Dominion," the dean warned. "No matter what happens, protecting the miniature universe is our top priority."
Xu Jingming, Tower Master, and Island Lord all nodded.
"I'll return to Myriad Star Island first and not be a burden to everyone," Redmond said with a smile.
Spacetime Island Lord nodded and placed him safely in the pendant, on Myriad Star Island.
"Although we are setting off for our new home, more than half of humanity still lives in our home universe," the dean reminded Xu Jingming. "While we are in South Pavilion 3609 Dominion, the rest of us won't be able to return quickly. Therefore, we must rely on you to protect them for the next few centuries."
"Dean, don't worry. Leave it to me," Xu Jingming replied, with determination.
The humans remaining in their homeworld were weak, low-level planetary lifeforms, but their numbers were vast, accounting for two-thirds of the human race's total population. Xu Jingming knew that he had to protect them diligently.
Without the protection of high-dimensional lifeforms, some of the Abyss Sacrifice lineage would be quick to sacrifice humans.
"Since everything is ready, let's set off," the dean ordered.
"Let's go."
Xu Jingming entered the Heart Realm with the miniature universe, the dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord. They teleported through the Heart Realm and began their journey toward South Pavilion 3609 Dominion.
…
In the 34 cosmic sectors of his home universe, the species motherships were disappearing one by one, and the live-streaming of their departure could be seen from countless planets.
"All species motherships have set off for the new universe," announced the host's voice on the projection.
The people on the street turned their gazes toward the projection. Tears streamed down the faces of many, as many of their loved ones were among the departing.
But this farewell wasn't just temporary—it was likely a goodbye forever.
"Those who remain in our home universe, please enjoy the rest of your lives. If you can evolve into cosmic lifeforms, you too can join us in the new universe," said the host.
An elderly man scoffed, "We can't even reach Lv. 3, so how can we become cosmic lifeforms?"
"There's no hope for us old guys. Perhaps there's still hope for those children."
Children born in recent years, who had only recently begun to cultivate the genetic evolutionary method, still had a chance. They were at Lv. 1 or Lv. 2 and could potentially break through in the next few years.
For now, it was safer for them to remain in their home universe as they were weaker and less adaptable.
…
Solar System, Earth's outer space.
Xu Jingming arrived in Earth's outer space, gazing at the beautiful planet.
Earth. Xu Jingming looked at the planet. When the planetary lifeforms die of old age and I send the final batch of cosmic lifeforms to our new home, I'll bring the entire solar system to the new universe as well.
He would take away all the planets in the solar system, including Earth.
As for whether it could adapt to the new cosmic environment?
As the home planet of Earth's civilization and the place where he himself had lived, Earth had been refined to be more stable than a Lv. 10 battle planet. It could naturally adapt to all kinds of environments.

"The Void Celestials have moved on, and so have the humans."
"They took one-third of the humans at a time. It seems like they rented the Void Celestial's miniature universe."
Far away, in their own universe, the high-dimensional lifeforms of various species watched the scene with mixed emotions. Despite their past battles, they were all from the same universe.
While the Void Celestials and humans migrated, the fate of their own species remained uncertain.
"I heard that the Frosts rejected the offer. Their progenitor is from the Abyss, so it's no surprise he's unwilling to pay a hefty price."
"Should we rent it?"
"The rental price set by Gumo is steep. It costs three drops of Abyssal Mother Blood. Is he predicting our future and calculating how much we have? He's practically draining our savings." The Fogtails patriarch hesitated.
In this universe, Gumo was the strongest, followed by the Fogtails patriarch.
…
Xu Jingming was on a mission to transport the human race and numerous high-dimensional lifeforms from their homeworld's dominion to the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion in the miniature universe. However, his teleportation range was limited, and he had to take an hour-long break after every ten teleports to ensure he was fit to handle any potential dangers.
The dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, and others were on high alert, expecting the unexpected.
"The Heart Realm is boundless and extensive. With every teleportation done at a fixed point, the chances of encountering other lifeforms are as likely as stumbling across a grain of sand in the universe," the dean explained with a grin. "It's impossible for it to be pure coincidence."
"Unless they're actively pursuing us, it's highly improbable that we'll meet anyone in the Heart Realm," Spacetime Island Lord added.
"It's exhausting to transport so many lifeforms over long distances," Xu Jingming said with a smile.
In the Heart Realm, dominion appeared vast and boundless; even the universes seemed insignificant.
But at this moment, a behemoth slowly descended, its sheer size covering the surrounding nine dominions. Its long fur was countless times larger than the universe, yet its descent didn't affect any matter, energy, or life in the nine dominions.
It was as if it didn't exist.
Xu Jingming and the others, who were traveling, couldn't sense its existence either.
Where am I? My teleportation brought me a little far.
The behemoth opened its massive eyes and raised its huge head, curiously observing its surroundings with its eight colossal eyes. In an instant, it observed countless dominions, and its gaze seeped into countless layers of space in the Abyss.
The dense timeline was under its observation.
Oh, I actually came to this timeline? If I remember correctly, this timeline is that existence's territory, right? Its eight large eyes filled with fear.
I need to leave! I shouldn't be here! Its figure quickly turned ethereal and disappeared from this timeline. None of the countless living beings in the nine dominions it enveloped sensed its arrival or departure.
Xu Jingming and his companions pressed on, determined to reach their destination.
After a grueling fifteen hours, they finally arrived at South Pavilion 3609 Dominion with the miniature universe in tow.
"We made it." The dean grinned.
"There's no need for concern about the species resettlement, Jingming," said Eternal Tower Master. "Everyone who needs to migrate has already undergone a migration simulation in the virtual world."
Spacetime Island Lord extended her hand for the miniature universe. "Give me the miniature universe. I'll place all the species motherships in the corresponding cosmic sectors."
Xu Jingming nodded.
Soon, Spacetime Island Lord placed the countless species motherships in their corresponding locations within the 51 cosmic sectors. Each placement was made according to the migration plan.
As soon as all the species motherships were placed, every species mothership released a dense number of spaceships that shuttled through wormholes and flew in all directions.
As all the cosmic coordinates were tabulated, everyone knew what to do.
A large number of smart machines landed on a habitable planet as more than ten spaceships floated above it. "This is the planet we will live on in the future."
With the technological ability of the human race, it took little time to build the residential buildings as long as the habitable planet was suitable for human habitation.
"There it is, Nova Yun Fang," said one of the more than a billion humans on the spaceships. They curiously observed the construction happening on the planet through the windows at an astonishing speed.
They had migrated from Yun Fang and were now arranged to settle on the same planet.
…
From a distance, Xu Jingming, the Dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord observed the frenzied construction of numerous habitable planets.
"In just a day, every human will have a place to call home. And in just half a month, everything will be back on track," announced the dean, grateful for the virtualization offered by the virtual world.
The entire human race had become seasoned experts at every level, executing the migration and resettlement process with precision and order.
"In this new home universe, the human race will flourish and take root for years to come," predicted Eternal Tower Master, brimming with anticipation.
"The human race will enter a whole new era," proclaimed Spacetime Island Lord with conviction.
Xu Jingming nodded his agreement.
A new universe, a new era!
The story of humanity had just stepped into uncharted territory.
