Chapter 368: God of All Gods!

Life and death mean nothing!

　　Fight to the death!

　　Looking at the confident Ye Tianming before her, the one-legged woman’s expression grew complicated. In that moment, she suddenly understood. When this Young Master Ye had said earlier that he didn’t take the gods seriously, it wasn’t arrogance — it was that he had no way out, and so he had chosen to burn his bridges.

　　Truly burning his bridges!

　　This Young Master Ye had already cast life and death aside!

　　And that person…… was actually the same.

　　One could say that both Ye Tianming and that person had no way out. The struggle for the Grand Dao was already this brutal, not to mention that beyond the struggle for the Grand Dao, the two also had a clash of ideals — their views on this world, on all living beings.

　　Since their views differed, there was only one way to settle it: determine a winner, determine who lives and who dies.

　　Ye Tianming suddenly said, “Miss, I’m going down to take a look. You can think it over.”

　　With that, he turned and walked off into the distance.

　　If he could win over this mysterious woman, it would naturally be a good thing for him, saving him a great deal of trouble. If she was unwilling to follow him, that was fine too — when the time came, it would be settled with a single sword strike.

　　Just then, the one-legged woman suddenly said, “I’ll wait for you to come back, then take you somewhere.”

　　Ye Tianming smiled, “Thank you.”

　　With that, he vanished into the distance.

　　After a brief silence, the one-legged woman turned and walked to the entrance of the nearby official residence. She slowly raised her head and looked out at the cosmic world beyond, “Father God…… I hope I haven’t chosen wrong.”

　　After leaving the official residence, Ye Tianming arrived on a continent. The spiritual energy here was not dense — on the contrary, it was rather sparse. With just a single glance, he could sense the aura of this world’s top powerhouses, which wasn’t strong at all. The strongest among them seemed to have barely reached the Circle-Breaking Realm.

　　At that moment, as if sensing something, he flickered and appeared atop a mountain peak. Looking down, he saw a narrow path at the foot of the mountain packed with a dense crowd of people, all lined up in a long queue marching toward the distance.

　　Even from the mountaintop, he couldn’t see the end of the line!

　　These people were lined up in orderly rows, advancing step by step, kneeling with every few steps as they moved forward.

　　Their expressions were one of absolute devotion, as if on a pilgrimage.

　　They were all very ordinary people, with no cultivation to speak of, extremely weak in strength.

　　After sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Ye Tianming’s eyes finally landed on one man. In an instant, he absorbed the written language and spoken tongue of this world. Then, with a flicker, he appeared at the very front of the long queue. Several hundred zhang ahead of him stood a grand hall, and before the hall was a statue — a statue of a man, built with an overwhelming air of dominance, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the heavens, looking down upon all under the sky.

　　He studied the statue for a moment. The man looked young, only around his twenties.

　　And this person was the very reason he had come.

　　He had already created the Myriad Beings Law up to the Ninth Law?

　　Ye Tianming was naturally quite curious. Of course, after arriving on this continent, he had already been able to establish a connection with the living beings of this universe, because many people here had already cultivated the Myriad Beings Law — and with anyone who cultivated the Myriad Beings Law, he could establish a connection.

　　Before long, the great crowd arrived one after another before the statue, then dropped to their knees in unison, murmuring something under their breath.

　　Every single one of them was filled with reverence and devotion, as if worshipping a god.

　　Ye Tianming glanced at the statue, then shifted his gaze upward into the grand hall. There were people inside, but not the one he was looking for.

　　The hall was filled with people dressed in divine robes, standing on either side of the hall, equally devout, and somewhat tense, as if waiting for something.

　　Just then, Ye Tianming suddenly looked up. From deep within the river of stars, a streak of seven-colored light came cascading down. The light was tens of thousands of zhang wide, blanketing nearly half the sky — an extraordinarily magnificent sight.

　　The seven-colored light stretched from the depths of the starry river all the way down to the front of the grand hall. Then, a young man slowly descended along that seven-colored path.

　　The man appeared to be in his twenties, dressed in a wide divine robe, long hair draped over his shoulders, with a blood-red mark between his brows, giving him an air of solemn gravity.

　　Upon seeing this person, those inside the hall slowly knelt down one by one. At the same time, the crowd outside also dropped to their knees in a sweeping wave, “God of all gods……”

　　God of all gods!

　　Hearing those words, the corner of Ye Tianming’s mouth twitched.

　　This man was the owner of that statue, and also the person he had come to find.

　　After the self-proclaimed God of all gods descended before the hall, he looked at the kneeling crowd, his gaze filled with warmth and benevolence, “All living beings suffer…… come, come, come, hand out the rice.”

　　As his words fell, a group of people suddenly rushed out from all sides. They pulled out sack after sack of rice from their storage rings, and before long, the rice piled up into small mountains before the statue.

　　At the sight of the rice, the eyes of those waiting in line instantly lit up, their longing completely undisguised.

　　If not for the guards stationed all around, they would have already surged forward in a rush.

　　At that moment, an elderly man stepped forward. He looked at the crowd and waved his hand, “Everyone line up to receive rice. No disorder — anyone who causes trouble will be beaten to death on the spot…….”

　　Those who had been thinking of cutting in line quickly stepped back into place upon hearing the old man’s words.

　　The first person stepped forward and received a large sack of rice. Just as they were about to leave, the old man suddenly furrowed his brow, “Hmm?”

　　The person froze for a moment, then quickly shouted aloud, “Thank you, God of all gods…….”

　　Only then did the old man give a satisfied nod.

　　The person hoisted the rice onto their back and walked away, shouting as they went, “Thank you, God of all gods…….”

　　The second person received their rice and did the same as the first, “Thank you, God of all gods…….”

　　Throughout the scene, everyone shouted in unison, “Thank you, God of all gods!!”

　　The sound shook the heavens.

　　High above, the God of all gods gave a slight nod…… from his expression, he was clearly very pleased.

　　Just then, as if sensing something, he suddenly looked down at Ye Tianming standing below, his brow furrowing, “Why do you not kneel?”

　　Ye Tianming looked at him, “Because I’m not afraid.”

　　The God of all gods narrowed his eyes slightly, “Not afraid?”

　　Ye Tianming nodded.

　　The God of all gods smiled, “Interesting, truly interesting…….”

　　All around, the ordinary folk, upon seeing that Ye Tianming dared not to kneel, were furious, and unleashed a torrent of curses at him.

　　Ye Tianming paid no attention to those around him. He kept his gaze fixed on the self-proclaimed God of all gods. The man was truly only in his twenties in real age. As for his cultivation realm, it was actually not high — by the standards of the Guanxuan Universe, he would barely qualify as having reached the Circle-Breaking Realm. But the man did indeed possess the power of faith!

　　Faith!

　　It was clear that this fellow had already established his own faith within this universe.

　　However, what made him rather curious was that the man’s faith power was extremely pure…… of the golden variety.

　　One had to know that faith power also came in levels, and golden faith power was already considered extremely, extremely pure. After all, above golden, there was only one level left — pure white.

　　All from handing out rice?

　　Ye Tianming glanced at the rice, lost in thought.

　　At that moment, the self-proclaimed God of all gods suddenly laughed, “Young man, you are the first person who has ever dared to stand before me without kneeling. You’ve got guts!”

　　The man spoke in an old and lofty manner, yet looked very young in age. Clearly, he was deliberately putting on an air of aged authority, which made him look rather comical.

　　Ye Tianming studied the man and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice rang out from the distance, “How dare you show contempt for the God of all gods — you’re looking for death…….”

　　As the words fell, a powerhouse transformed into a streak of white light and shot into the sky, charging straight toward Ye Tianming. The terrifying force contained within the white light tore a massive gash across the entire sky, an utterly shocking sight.

　　Ye Tianming glanced at the powerhouse who had made a move, and swept his sleeve.

　　Boom!

　　That powerhouse was instantly crushed to his knees on the spot by an overwhelming force of stellar energy!

　　At the sight of this, everyone present was stunned.

　　Including those who had been collecting rice — they suddenly realized this young man was no ordinary person.

　　Everyone quietly took their rice, then turned and fled.

　　Upon seeing Ye Tianming suppress that elder in an instant, the God of all gods narrowed his eyes slightly, “I knew you didn’t come here with good intentions.”

　　As he spoke, he slowly clenched both hands, and before long, a terrifying pressure began to spread across heaven and earth.

　　”The god is angered!”

　　At that moment, someone in the crowd collecting rice suddenly shouted.

　　Upon hearing this, the rest of the crowd did not make a move against Ye Tianming, nor did they curse at him. Instead, they surged forward in a rush toward the rice, and in no time at all swept every last grain clean.

　　The scene descended into utter chaos!

　　Even with the elders trying to maintain order, it was no use. The moment those ordinary people laid eyes on the rice, their eyes turned red.

　　There was only one word in all of their minds: grab!

　　These people were truly starving!

　　The God of all gods fixed his gaze on Ye Tianming. At this moment, the smile on his face was slowly fading, and a trace of unease had begun to rise in his heart!

　　Ye Tianming glanced at the God of all gods and was about to speak, when yet another voice suddenly rang out from deep within the distant hall, “To blaspheme a god is to deserve death!”

　　As the words fell, a spear came tearing through the air, aimed straight at Ye Tianming. The terrifying force contained within the spear shattered the entire sky and earth into a spider-web of cracks — an utterly terrifying sight.

　　Ye Tianming simply swept his sleeve, and the spear was instantly reduced to dust.

　　At the sight of this, the owner of the spear’s eyelid twitched. Having been on the verge of charging forward, he turned without hesitation and fled without a trace.

　　The God of all gods stared fixedly at Ye Tianming, “So you are determined to make things difficult for me today! Very well, let me see just what you’re made of…….”

　　With that, he suddenly raised his right hand and pressed it forcefully down toward Ye Tianming, “Kneel!”

　　Boom!

　　A mysterious force suddenly spread across heaven and earth.

　　What he had unleashed was actually…… the Myriad Beings Law!
