Chapter 369: All Are Mere Ants!

Myriad Beings Law!

When that power spread throughout heaven and earth, the space-time around them suddenly began to boil, and a terrifying pressure bore down directly on Ye Tianming.

Seeing the God of All Gods fly into a rage, the people gathered there were instantly struck with terror, falling to their knees one after another, trembling.

Yet when that power landed on Ye Tianming, it silently vanished without a trace.

Witnessing this, the God of All Gods was momentarily stunned. “What the hell?”

Ye Tianming looked at him calmly.

The God of All Gods raised his right hand again and brought it down sharply. “Kneel before me.”

Boom!

The space-time between heaven and earth began to boil.

But when that power drew close to Ye Tianming, it instantly disappeared without a trace.

Gone!

The God of All Gods stared in disbelief. “How is that possible?”

Ye Tianming extended his right hand and pressed down gently. “Kneel.”

Boom!

In an instant, the God of All Gods dropped straight to his knees.

Uproar!

The crowd erupted into chaos.

The God of All Gods had actually knelt?

The God of All Gods himself was dumbfounded. Soon, he raised his head and looked at Ye Tianming, his voice trembling. “Myriad Beings Law…..you know the Myriad Beings Law too!”

Ye Tianming nodded. “A little.”

The God of All Gods suddenly clenched both fists and roared, “All beings, aid me!”

His voice resounded across the entire continent!

When the people in the crowd heard the God of All Gods’ words, they cried out in unison, “God of All Gods, we believe in you!”

The voices came like waves, one after another.

Soon, vast amounts of faith energy swept in from across heaven and earth, all of it golden faith energy, and moreover, it was endless.

Ye Tianming was genuinely shocked, for he discovered that when this fellow called out, nearly every living being in this entire universe responded.

And all of that faith energy was golden, extraordinarily pure.

Just then, after absorbing endless faith energy, the God of All Gods tried to stand, but discovered to his horror that he simply could not rise. That force was like ten thousand mountains pressing down on him, pinning him completely!

The God of All Gods was both shocked and furious. He roared again, “All beings! Take him down!”

With that, he suddenly threw a fierce punch straight at Ye Tianming.

Myriad Beings Law!

Ignoring all cultivation levels, ignoring all defenses, it was guaranteed to deal fifty percent power damage to the target.

And this punch was not merely the Myriad Beings Law — it also carried the power of every living being in this universe. When all that power converged, this fellow’s strength had already reached the Circle-Drawing Realm, and it was still surging wildly upward.

Ye Tianming was rather surprised.

When that force arrived before him like a thunderbolt, he gave a light wave of his hand, and the Myriad Beings Law power vanished without a trace.

Witnessing this, the God of All Gods was completely dumbstruck.

The people in the crowd were dumbstruck too.

Ye Tianming did not strike again. Instead he said, “Come with me.”

With that, he walked toward the great hall in the distance.

The power around the God of All Gods faded away, and his expression turned somewhat ugly. The people below also stared at him in bewilderment.

A moment later, the God of All Gods took a deep breath. He knew he was no match for this person, so he rose and walked toward the great hall.

After the God of All Gods entered the great hall, he saw Ye Tianming sitting in the seat that had been his own. He hesitated, then said, “You are…?”

One look confirmed it — this was someone he could not beat.

Better to talk things out.

Ye Tianming looked at the God of All Gods and said, “I heard you’ve cultivated the Myriad Beings Law to the Ninth Law. Show me.”

The God of All Gods gave an embarrassed laugh. “I…was just bragging.”

Ye Tianming had already guessed as much. He nodded and said, “Then tell me about this world’s civilization.”

The God of All Gods dared not refuse, and immediately said, “This universe is called the Myriad Gods Universe…….”

Ye Tianming looked at him. “You renamed it, didn’t you?”

The God of All Gods laughed awkwardly. “Yes.”

Ye Tianming nodded. “Go on.”

The God of All Gods began to speak.

A moment later, Ye Tianming had gained some understanding of this universe’s civilization. This universe did in fact have a Divine Hall — that is, a representative of the Divine Spirit Universe — but the Divine Hall of this universe had been overthrown by the young man before him.

The martial arts civilization of this universe was not particularly advanced. Even the strongest cultivators had not reached the Circle-Drawing Realm.

The young man before him had only the strength of the Circle-Breaking Realm.

Even so, this fellow was quite a talent. After cultivating the Myriad Gods Law, he had developed steadily, gathering a large number of followers around him, and ultimately overthrew the entire Divine Hall, establishing a new regime in its place.

Ye Tianming’s gaze fell on the young man again. “The faith energy from your Myriad Beings Law is remarkably pure. How did you manage that?”

The young man smiled. “It’s not that hard.”

Ye Tianming said, “Tell me.”

The young man said, “The living beings in this universe are mostly quite poor. I nationalized all the resources that had been controlled by the great clans, then redistributed them. For example, I gave rice and money to the common people at the bottom, built them houses for free, established free healing halls……and I also set up many Myriad Gods Academies and let their children attend for free…….”

At this point, he suddenly grew animated. “Actually, these common people are very easy to satisfy. I only spent a tiny bit of money, and they became completely devoted to me.”

Ye Tianming said, “A tiny bit?”

The young man nodded. “Just a tiny bit. Do you know how much money I found after overthrowing the Divine Hall and those great clans? You simply can’t imagine — the wealth plundered by just one of those clans was more than they could spend in ten billion years…..and yet they were still not satisfied, constantly squeezing more through every means possible…….”

Ye Tianming fell silent.

The young man continued, “Not only that, I discovered that these Divine Halls and great clans were also treating all living beings as a kind of spiritual energy……I heard the Divine Hall’s hall master call it something……”

Ye Tianming said, “Incense offerings.”

The young man quickly said, “Right, right, incense offerings…….”

At that, he seemed to realize something, and snapped his head up to look at Ye Tianming. “You came from outside.”

Ye Tianming nodded.

The young man immediately became guarded, on high alert.

Ye Tianming smiled. “You actually know about the outside.”

The young man looked deeply at Ye Tianming, then said in a low voice, “I’ve been to that official residence. There’s a woman there, but she wouldn’t let me leave. She said if I went out, I’d be killed…….”

Ye Tianming nodded. “She was right.”

The young man hesitated, then said, “You didn’t come here specifically to recruit me, did you?”

Ye Tianming said nothing. He rose and walked slowly to the entrance of the great hall. Outside, the people had not yet left. They looked anxiously and uneasily toward the hall, clearly worried about the young man.

Ye Tianming said softly, “You’ve made me understand something.”

The young man was puzzled. “What?”

Ye Tianming smiled. “We must not only give all living beings the ability and right to oversee those in power — we should also give them an environment in which to live……Whether it’s oversight or rebellion, what is the ultimate goal? It’s to live! To live well!”

The young man nodded. “Yes, to let them live well. But money and rice can’t be given in excess — give too much and some people will become insatiably greedy, sitting back and reaping without effort. So you also have to teach them how to survive on their own……that’s something I’m still struggling with.”

Ye Tianming turned to look at the young man. “What’s your name?”

The young man said, “Zongsheng.”

Ye Tianming smiled. “Come with me.”

Zongsheng was taken aback. “Huh?”

Ye Tianming said, “Don’t you want to see the world outside?”

Zongsheng nodded. “I do want to see it. But who are you, exactly?”

Ye Tianming said nothing. He simply opened his palm, then slowly closed his fist.

Boom!

In an instant, countless streams of faith energy from across the entire universe converged between heaven and earth, and gradually, a massive Myriad Beings Tablet began to take shape.

Seeing this, Zongsheng’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he said in shock, “You……you are the creator of the Myriad Beings Law!”

Ye Tianming said nothing. His gaze was fixed on the Myriad Beings Tablet, and just as it was about to fully take form, he suddenly released his hand.

The Myriad Beings Tablet instantly dissolved into nothing, vanishing from between heaven and earth.

Ye Tianming turned to look at Zongsheng, whose face was filled with utter disbelief. “You……you really are the creator of the Myriad Beings Law!”

In the moment Ye Tianming had summoned the Myriad Beings Tablet, Zongsheng had felt not only the Tablet itself, but also the full weight of Ye Tianming’s existence.

Ye Tianming said, “Come on, let me broaden your horizons.”

Zongsheng said eagerly, “Yes, yes!”

At this moment, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Ye Tianming had turned into fervent admiration.

Ye Tianming took Zongsheng and departed. When they arrived once more at the official residence, the one-legged woman saw Zongsheng and was somewhat surprised.

Ye Tianming said, “Please wait a moment, miss.”

The one-legged woman nodded.

Ye Tianming took Zongsheng out of the official residence, and once they were outside, Zongsheng stood rooted to the spot, completely petrified.

Ye Tianming looked at Zongsheng. “Universes like the one you came from — there are countless of them.”

Zongsheng said in astonishment, “They’re all……sealed away like that?”

Ye Tianming nodded.

Zongsheng’s face went pale. “Then……we……are all just ants!”

Ye Tianming looked at Zongsheng. “I need you to help me with something — establish a Myriad Beings Hall. I’ll provide the funding, the four great hall masters will cooperate with you, and you’ll need to continuously recruit top talent, then……”

Zongsheng said, “Govern the universes?”

Ye Tianming nodded. “The system you built down there works for that universe, but it won’t necessarily apply to the entire universe. So it needs to be constantly explored and refined. I need you to form a team to do exactly that.”

Zongsheng said, “I understand.”

Ye Tianming took out a card and handed it to Zongsheng. “There are ten million incense spirit crystals in here. Take it for now, and if it’s not enough, come find me.”

Zongsheng took the card, then said, “Big brother, I……”

With that, he suddenly looked at Ye Tianming and grinned. “Is it alright if I call you that?”

Ye Tianming smiled. “Sure.”

Zongsheng’s smile grew even brighter. “Big brother, I want to visit all the official residence universes first. I want to see every civilization and every system.”

A flash of admiration crossed Ye Tianming’s eyes. “Good.”

Zongsheng said, “I’ll start right now.”

With that, he turned to leave. Ye Tianming suddenly swept his sleeve, and a stream of incense energy flowed into Zongsheng’s body. “From now on you can come to this Divine Spirit Universe whenever you like. I’ve already spoken to those hall masters — they’ll make things easy for you.”

Zongsheng nodded. “Great!”

With that, he turned and left.

Watching Zongsheng go, Ye Tianming turned and walked back into the official residence. “Miss, let’s go.”

The one-legged woman nodded.
