His already dwindling lifespan had, at this moment, increased by at least several hundred years...
At the same time, he felt as if he were beholding an indescribable, great cosmic entity. This being's form was countless times larger than the universe, with strings of universes hanging from his hair like rivers of stars... Ancient Universes were born, evolved, and destroyed with his breathing, surrounding him...
His visage was unfathomable.
His magnitude, beyond words.
His might, inexpressible.
...
The Ancient Kirin Emperor was inexplicably shaken, experiencing the power and terror of the God of Hongmeng more directly than ever before.
After a moment, he regained his senses, exchanged glances with the other Venerable Ancient Emperors, their eyes filled with shock and reverence. Clearly, the other Venerable Ancient Emperors had also witnessed the immortal physique of the God of Hongmeng.
"It's truly inconceivable and beyond comprehension! The God of Hongmeng has long exceeded our imagination and understanding!"
Feeling the increase in his lifespan and the insights gained upon witnessing the God of Hongmeng, the Ancient Kirin Emperor's eyes were full of excitement.
"Sect Hierarch Ye, you say that we need only to pray to become followers of the God of Hongmeng, and then we receive divine favor, and we really don't need to do anything else?"
The Free and Easy Heavenly Venerate looked at Ye Hei, still finding it hard to believe that there could be such a thing as a free lunch in the world.
Was the God of Hongmeng some great philanthropist? What a joke!
It was this very God who had annihilated six Venerables with a single word. Moreover, in their eyes, which mighty being had not waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, defeated all rivals, and ascended to the imperial throne? Such a fearsome being like the God of Hongmeng, they feared that the number of universes He had destroyed would surpass the number of people they had killed.
"Of course!" Ye Hei proudly replied, gesturing to the countless masses around them, "They are all followers of my God; my God treats every follower equally, granting them divine favor!
"One day, when my God's glory envelops the entire universe, all spirits of the universe will be my God's followers, and regardless of their strength, they will all receive divine favor.
"What do you think my God needs them to do? What can they do for my God?"
The Free and Easy Heavenly Venerate and other Venerable Ancient Emperors opened their mouths but were unable to refute. In the face of that terrifying existence, they were like ants—in fact, not even ants by comparison. Because even the universe itself seemed like dust in the presence of the God of Hongmeng.
"Perhaps the universe we reside in was created by the God of Hongmeng, and as such, He would be like our father and God. Therefore, it's understandable that He would bestow such disproportionate divine favor!" the Ancient Kirin Emperor speculated, thinking about the scenes he had witnessed earlier.
"Holy sh*t! Can it also be understood this way?" A thousand curses raced through Ye Hei's mind. He hadn't expected the Ancient Kirin Emperor's imagination to be so rich, but it didn't seem entirely impossible either. After all, there were legends of Pangu creating the world. It wasn't impossible for the God of Hongmeng to have formed the Covering The Sky World. Maybe Pangu was just an alias for the God of Hongmeng.
"That makes sense!"
The other Venerable Ancient Emperors, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement and then stopped thinking further. Because such an existence was beyond their comprehension.
Ye Hei continued, "Becoming a follower of my God is that simple. You don't need to forsake everything and serve the Upper God for life!
"However, the divine favor gained from praying is the most basic benefit and the minimum reward my God provides for all followers.
"To receive more rewards from my God, one would need to spread the teachings or make sacrifices for my God. Ordinary followers can also offer their treasures during my worship, and my God will naturally reward them.
"If you join the Hongmeng Divine Sect, then naturally there are things to do, such as evangelizing, protecting the Divine Sect, suppressing heretics, and so on.
"Of course, there aren't many demands usually. After all, the more you work, the more you earn. The greater your merits, the more my God will reward you!"
"I am willing to join the Divine Sect!" the Ancient Kirin Emperor said without hesitation. He knew that joining the Divine Sect was the way to enter its core circle, and his chances of achieving immortality would be greater. His sole pursuit of survival was to become immortal, and he felt no aversion to joining the Hongmeng Divine Sect. Although Ye Hei was only at the level of Sanctification Major Completion, he was the messenger of the God of Hongmeng on earth. For them, being able to join the Hongmeng Divine Sect was also an honor.
"I will join too!"
The Free and Easy Heavenly Venerate, Ten Thousand Dragons Ancient Emperor, Golden Ancient Emperor, and other Venerable Ancient Emperors spoke up one after another. As for the obligations Ye Hei mentioned about joining the Divine Sect, they did not consider them to be any trouble; indeed, it was only proper. As ordinary believers, they received divine grace just by praying, which showed how generous the God of Hongmeng was. Before this, Ye Hei had only achieved Sanctification Minor Completion, but after one sacrifice, he reached Sanctification Major Completion and even obtained an Immortal Scripture they could only dream of.
If they achieved merits, would becoming an immortal still be difficult? Perhaps this was the correct way to reach immortality!
"Good, as long as you work hard, becoming immortals or gods will not be an issue!" Ye Hei said confidently as he looked at the several dozen Venerable Ancient Emperors before him. These individuals were all paragons of their era, just one step away from immortality. Helping them achieve immortality was not too difficult.
With these people, he was confident that within three months, he could spread the faith of the God of Hongmeng throughout the entire universe. Then, he would build a Starry Sky Altar, summon trillions of believers, and hold the grandest sacrifice ever discussed in the chat group, offering up all the Emperor Soldiers, Elixirs of Immortality, and Maidens of Destiny in the entire world. Wouldn't he soar directly to the heavens then? Perhaps he could become the most favored child of the Upper God in the chat group and the most powerful believer. He was now at the Ninth Level of power. Even the strongest, Chong Lou, was only at the Twelfth Level—just a three-level difference!
WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH!
At this moment, several figures approached Ye Hei.
"The Sacred Grounds of Yaochi pays respects to Sect Hierarch Ye, congratulating him on his Sanctification Major Completion and his dominion over all!"
The Saint Master of the Jade Pool, dressed in palace attire, with her long gown trailing the floor, walked gracefully towards him, with a transcendental quality, regal and luxurious in her demeanor. The Sage Woman of Yaochi followed by her side, with halos beneath her feet that turned into fairy flowers, supporting her jade feet. With each step a blossom appeared, and every movement exuded charm, her grace was limitless and her beauty ultimate. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as jade, her waist slender and her curves luscious. With a gentle twist, her waist moved like that of a beautiful serpent, her proud stature and unparalleled elegance left everyone in awe.
"The Purple Mansion Holy Ground pays respects to Sect Hierarch Ye, congratulating him on his Sanctification Major Completion and his dominion over all!"
"The Wanchu Holy Land pays respects to Sect Hierarch Ye, congratulating him on his Sanctification Major Completion and his dominion over all!"
"The Ji family pays respects to Sect Hierarch Ye, congratulating him on his..."
One by one, Aristocratic Family Leaders from the Ancient Families and numerous major powers, along with Saint Masters from the Holy Lands, accompanied by their talented disciples, came forth. Actually, they had been observing from the sidelines for quite some time, and they had heard every single word of the conversation between Ye Hei and the Venerable Ancient Emperors without missing a beat. Seeing that even the Forbidden Zone Venerable Ancient Emperors had joined the Hongmeng Divine Sect, and with Ye Hei having achieved Sanctification Major Completion—making him comparable to an Ancient Great Emperor—they realized they had no other choice but to submit. Moreover, believing in the God of Hongmeng brought divine grace, and with diligent evangelism and sacrifice, they might even become immortals or gods. And they all wanted to send their Sacred Girls and prodigies to the heavens. The transformations of Yan Ruyu, Yao Xi, and the others were still vivid in their minds; they simply could not resist the temptation.
Ye Hei turned to look at the Saint Masters of various Holy Lands and the Aristocratic Family Leaders of World Houses, his gaze becoming sharp. "My God is merciful and virtuous, and I am not a person who slaughters indiscriminately!
"I know that many among you, from both Holy Lands and World Houses, have contributed funds to hire assassins from the Killer God Dynasty to kill me!
"I knew you would choose this way. I don't want to kill indiscriminately either, but don't think you can deceive me with just a few scapegoats! Anyone directly involved or those who were behind the scenes issuing the orders—I don't care if they are your ancestors, your Aristocratic Family Leaders, or your Saint Masters—they must all die!
"I am off to annihilate Hell and the Mortal Realm. After I have destroyed the two Killer God Dynasties, if you have not given me a satisfactory answer, then you can join Hell and the Mortal Realm in oblivion!"
BOOM.
Ye Hei's words exploded like a thunderclap in the minds of the Saint Masters from Holy Lands and the Aristocratic Family Leaders from World Houses, drastically changing many of their complexions.
"Sect Hierarch Ye is insightful. Surely, these must be some disloyal traitors within our clans who conspired with assassins. Our Ji family will definitely find them and hand them over to Sect Hierarch Ye for disposal..." the Ji Family Head hastily said, not fully absolving himself because there was no way to absolve; doing so would only anger Ye Hei. They had to be willing to make a decisive break and sacrifice some of their own.
The other Holy Lands and World Houses similarly spoke up, conveying essentially the same sentiment as the Ji family.
The Ancient Kirin Emperor, Free and Easy Heavenly Venerate, and other Venerable Ancient Emperors watched with cold eyes. They didn't concern themselves with these Powers who were, at best, only at the Second Level of the Immortal Platform.
His unquestionable voice fell, his gaze swept over the others as he said, "Those willing to join me are welcome. As for the rest, we'll talk after I have wiped out Hell and the Mortal Realm!"
