Chapter 913: The Evil of All Sentient Beings
Just as Fa Liuyuan was observing Zhang Yu, he could also feel a massive amount of communication surging back and forth between the Spirit Realm and the Dharma Realm within the office.
Fa Liuyuan understood that this was the numerous judges exchanging all sorts of information regarding Lie Jinghong and Tai Yuebai.
After all, the performance of the two this time was astounding enough to be considered shocking.
“One Qi Swallows the Universe? So this is the name of Lie Jinghong’s ability?”
“This is an ultra-high-danger Dao Seed. If it weren’t for the Law Establishment Ceremony, Lie Jinghong normally wouldn’t be allowed to use this ability on his own without authorization.”
“If this kind of ability lacked supervision and was used arbitrarily, what a disaster that would be!”
If Lie Jinghong’s performance was still somewhat expected, despite surprising the Ascension Realm Rank 10 Sect Staff present, then Tai Yuebai’s performance had greatly exceeded the expectations of many.
“To think that aside from Fa Liuyuan’s Feather Book, the Reformist Faction actually also has Tai Yuebai wielding the Book of Dao Seeds? How long has he held it? And how many Dao Seeds has he copied?”
At this moment, the numerous Ascension Realm cultivators looked at Tai Yuebai on the light screen as if they were looking at a treasure.
Just the ultra-high-danger Dao Seed, [One Qi Swallows the Universe], alone was already of incredibly high value, not to mention that Tai Yuebai had undoubtedly replicated other Dao Seeds as well.
Just the thought of it made the many Ascension Realm cultivators want to pry open this treasure, anticipating just how many Dao Seed abilities could be extracted from it.
In fact… if it weren’t for the current Law Establishment Ceremony, they probably would have already resorted to all sorts of methods against Tai Yuebai.
But now that he had stepped into the Law Establishment Ceremony and established an important third-generation Law Edict, thereby becoming part of Kunxu’s ruling class, even Ascension Realm cultivators like them… could no longer make a move against him carelessly.
At this thought, the group of judges all secretly felt it was a pity.
Just then, one of the judges said, “Hmph, although replicating a Dao Seed is not illegal, it is against the rules! Especially since Tai Yuebai deliberately concealed the information and replicated others’ Dao Seeds during the law establishment training, particularly involving an ultra-high-danger Dao Seed. He is simply harboring ulterior motives!”
Another judge chimed in, “The Book of Dao Seeds might even have been left behind by Traitor Ying! We should apprehend Tai Yuebai and thoroughly investigate this matter!”
Right at this moment, Ling Chenji of the Innate Dao Lineage could be seen saying to Fa Liuyuan, “Fa Liuyuan! Why did you conceal Tai Yuebai’s Book of Dao Seeds? Who gave you the authority to replicate ultra-high-danger Dao Seeds?!”
“To replicate Dao Seeds so recklessly and without restraint is simply madness!”
Fa Liuyuan replied indifferently while making his observations, “Ling Chenji, we naturally reported Tai Yuebai’s situation to the higher-ups long ago. The fact that you don’t know only proves that your clearance level is not high enough to be privy to the inside information in advance.”
After dropping this sentence, Fa Liuyuan stopped looking at her and resumed observing Zhang Yu’s state.
Ever since the Law Edict True Domains of trainees like Lie Jinghong, Di Xuan, and Bu Yingshu began continuously expanding…
Through Zhang Yu’s active dissemination, as well as the miniature humans learning about it through channels like the Spirit Realm and the Dharma Realm…
Within the cities covered by Zhang Yu’s Law Edict Domain, more and more Material Humans saw the various changes brought about by the new Law Edicts in other cities…
Herald God’s observation: Multiple cities implement the Minimum Lifespan Law; citizens everywhere express concern over the increase in average lifespan…
Auspicious Guy shows you: Number of examinees hits record highs this month, breaking historical peaks…
Micro-report: Number of job applicants skyrockets; experts call this year the “hardest employment season” in history…
Facing the various sufferings of other cities, witnessing countless “miserable wails” under the new Law Edicts, in Zhang Yu’s city… the hearts of the Material Humans were gradually occupied by all kinds of fear, anxiety, anger, and resentment…
Especially since these Material Humans had not yet been enveloped by the True Domains of the numerous new Law Edicts, and therefore had not been affected by the related Thought Tides. The more reports they saw of the deep suffering in other cities… the more resistant they became to the new Law Edicts.
“If it’s not cram schools, it’s unemployment! How can we work properly? How can we do our jobs?!”
“They want to add a Realm Tax… and we have to work alongside artifact spirits… How are we supposed to make money? How can we improve ourselves?”
“Why should I be forced to live for a minimum lifespan?! I had already planned to die this year!”
Therefore, under these circumstances, Zhang Yu’s Expiration Date for Law Edicts received the support of an increasing number of people.
“This Expiration Date for Law Edicts is great! These new Law Edicts should be frozen after a month!”
“Humans are humans, artifact spirits are artifact spirits! These new Law Edicts should be frozen!”
“A life extended by force isn’t a true life! A lifespan earned is a real lifespan!”
“Fuck your make-up classes! Fuck your exams! I want to work! Freeze this fucking bullshit!”
Zhang Yu could feel it; under the shroud of the True Domain… the Thought Tide amplification his Law Edict was receiving was skyrocketing at an unprecedented rate.
Fu Ji said joyfully, “Yay, yay! The more those guys’ Law Edicts spread and the more people they affect, the louder the ‘screams’ we hear over here, and the more these Material Humans will support our Law Edict!”
Although under the shroud of the new Law Edict, because of the “the more you comply, the more you agree” relationship, the Material Humans wouldn’t actually scream.
But their experiences and the changes in their lives, in the eyes of those not shrouded by the new Law Edict’s True Domain, were already as miserable as could be.
In fact, the way they looked entirely agreeable despite living in greater misery made the unaffected Material Humans feel even more terrified.
Immortal Slayer said, “The pain of the masses, their anger, and their fear will all become the best fuel for our Law Edict, ultimately releasing a flame that will change this world.”
“This is not enough,” Zhang Yu said. “I must understand the Law Edicts of the other trainees better before I can make a connection and apply “The More One Obeys, The More One Opposes” to their Law Edicts. I must understand the principles of their Law Edicts better so that I can freeze them one by one on the final day…”
Thus, Zhang Yu never stopped collecting all kinds of intelligence.
And then… as time passed day by day, from the 1st day of the second stage, to the 2nd day… the 5th day… all the way to the 10th day!
Right when numerous trainees were savagely spreading their new Law Edicts one after another, and right when the wails of all living beings spread across the land.
The Thought Tide amplification that Zhang Yu’s Law Edict received became increasingly astonishing, and the spreading speed of his Law Edict also grew faster and faster, unknowingly entering the top ten rankings.
Moreover, Zhang Yu had been secretly observing all along.
He was silently observing Yue Qinglan’s Minimum Lifespan.
He carefully observed and earnestly studied Cang Juehuan’s Artifact Spirit Human Rights and Kuang Zhiqian’s Work Gambling.
Zhang Yu watched the process of Di Xuan and Bu Yingshu’s mutual support and their joint effort to chase after Lie Jinghong from beginning to end.
Zhang Yu similarly did not miss a single detail of the battle between Lie Jinghong and Tai Yuebai, as well as the mutual pursuit of both sides’ Law Edict Domains.
This scene of Law Edicts mutually supporting, influencing, and pursuing each other allowed Zhang Yu to observe more technical details.
And the final competition between Lie Jinghong and Tai Yuebai shocked Zhang Yu even more.
“This [One Qi Swallows the Universe]… actually has such a huge boost on the expansion of Law Edicts?”
“Replication? Tai Yuebai possesses the Book of Dao Seeds that can replicate Dao Seeds? What does this have to do with the Dao Seed Register in my Feather Book?”
A series of explosive news made Zhang Yu think rapidly.
No, what Tai Yuebai said might not necessarily be true.
Recalling the changes that had happened to Tai Yuebai, Zhang Yu still somewhat couldn’t believe that the other party was replicating Dao Seeds.
However, he quickly put this matter aside for now, because it couldn’t be verified for the time being. In contrast, Zhang Yu could feel that [One Qi Swallows the Universe] had a greater impact on him.
Because from the terrifying ability of this Dao Seed….. he perceived a glimmer of a crucial chance of victory.
Although he had previously made up his mind and established the Expirate Date for Law Edicts, Zhang Yu did not have absolute certainty that he could defeat all his opponents in the assessment and rise above all Law Edicts.
Zhang Yu had simply decided to seize this opportunity of the era, gamble everything, and give it his all.
And with his own accumulation and conditions, there was indeed a certain possibility of achieving that goal.
But at this moment, upon sensing the enhancements that [One Qi Swallows the Universe] brought to Tai Yuebai and Lie Jinghong, the magic power and vital energy within Zhang Yu’s body trembled slightly.
“This is it! It’s this Dao Seed!”
In this instant, Zhang Yu seemed to have found the final puzzle piece.
“With my aptitude and cultivation, plus the blank Law Scroll, [Myriad Phenomena], and the mutated Sect-Guarding Technique, although it is enough to establish a Law Edict Expiration Date, it might not necessarily defeat… everyone else’s Law Edicts in this assessment.”
“However, if [One Qi Swallows the Universe] is added into the mix…”
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already made up his mind; he absolutely had to complete the replication of [One Qi Swallows the Universe].
Fortunately, his previous efforts were not in vain, allowing Zhang Yu to obtain the replication conditions for [One Qi Swallows the Universe] from Tai Yuebai before the first phase of the assessment began.
And over the past few days, his Void-Refined Primordial Spirit relied on abilities such as the Immortal Grotto-Heaven and the Azure Lotus Dao Embryo to lurk and roam around. While observing the Law Edict True Domain, he also used the Kunpeng Swallowing Heaven Manual to secretly collect the dissipated magic power of more than ten trainees.
Now…
“I just need to find an opportunity for Tai Yuebai to absorb this magic power, and the replication conditions for the Dao Seed will be met.”
Right while Zhang Yu was thinking, a puppet strongman he controlled had already arrived in front of Tai Yuebai.
Zhang Yu said, “Big Brother Tai, even if it means making an enemy of the whole world, I will still help you!”
Tai Yuebai looked at the puppet in front of him and was slightly stunned. “Zhang Yu? Why would we make an enemy of the whole world?”
Zhang Yu replied, “Big Brother Tai, you have already exposed your Dao Seed Ability to replicate Dao Seeds. You even replicated them from other trainees. The higher-ups definitely know by now…”
“Don’t worry,” Tai Yuebai smiled proudly. “Regarding my Book of Dao Seeds, the specific situation has long been reported. There won’t be any problems.”
“And so what if I have a Dao Seed replication ability?”
Tai Yuebai thought to himself, Not to mention replicating, even if it were stealing… the higher-ups would still tolerate it.
At the same time, Tai Yuebai simply said in a calm tone, “Even the owner of the number one ranked ultra-high-danger Dao Seed has never been banned. They are similarly put to use, squeezed for every last ounce of their value.”
“Here in Kunxu, in the hands of the Immortals, and under the watchful eyes of the Immortal Emperors, no matter how powerful an ability is, it cannot turn the world upside down. Every bit of innate talent, every ounce of potential, has long been secretly marked with a price…”
Speaking up to this point, Tai Yuebai felt he might have spoken a bit too deeply and gave a casual smile. “Zhang Yu, in the past, if I casually exposed such a replication ability, it might have been a bit dangerous. But now… we have all completed our Law Establishment and become members of Kunxu’s ruling class.”
“And the potential of my Law Edict… is already above all the trainees of this cohort.”
“The more they summon the wind and rain to throw the world into chaos, the more I can act as a shelter from that storm, gaining the support of countless people and obtaining a higher increase in my Thought Tide.”
In Tai Yuebai’s view, the more the Law Edicts of others oppressed the masses, the more the masses would support his Dual Rest Law Edict.
Coupled with his own cultivation, foundational strength, and his grasp over the ultra-high-danger Dao Seed [One Qi Swallows the Universe]…
“Little Yu, I don’t even know how I can lose this evaluation.”
“My Law Edict is also destined to open the curtain on the revolution of the Myriad Laws…
“Little Yu, from now on, you just need to stay close behind me.”
Now that Tai Yuebai had taken the initiative to reveal his strength and was no longer hiding it, his aura had completely transformed. His arrogance was on full display, and like a divine sword unsheathed, he suddenly gave Zhang Yu a feeling of piercing sharpness.
Zhang Yu: “I understand, Big Brother Tai. I will listen to you.”
Watching the departing Puppet Strongman, Tai Yuebai sensed a faint trace of magic power lingering in the air.
“Is this Zhang Yu’s magic power?”
He thought of his [One Qi Swallows the Universe] ability, and his heart stirred…
“Should I absorb Zhang Yu’s magic power so I can use [One Qi Swallows the Universe] to simulate and generate his magic power?”
Ever since obtaining this ability, Tai Yuebai had developed a habit of collecting various types of energy, always feeling he might need them for a rainy day.
Thus, in the very next moment, Tai Yuebai absorbed this faint trace of magic power into his body.
But upon feeling the absorption of the magic power, Tai Yuebai’s expression changed slightly: “This is…”
He sensed that he was absorbing far more than just one type of magic power; rather, it was over ten types of magic power from different cultivators.
At this moment, a deep sense of doubt welled up in Tai Yuebai’s heart.
“Zhang Yu… why did he do this? Did he guess the usage requirements for [One Qi Swallows the Universe] and wants to help me? Or could it be…”
Just as Tai Yuebai was pondering, Lie Jinghong’s Law Edict True Domain caught up once again.
“Tai Yuebai…” Lie Jinghong shouted furiously, “Even with the same Dao Seed Ability, don’t even think about surpassing me!”
At this moment, only Tai Yuebai remained in Lie Jinghong’s eyes. As for the puppet strongman Zhang Yu had just sent out, or the other trainees, he no longer paid them any mind.
“Tai Yuebai! Only him! He is the only obstacle to me reaching the top and becoming a grade 1 Law Edict!”
Feeling Lie Jinghong’s blazing fighting spirit, Tai Yuebai said proudly, “Lie Jinghong, you’re too slow.”
“I will wait for you at the end of this assessment.”
Dao Seed successfully replicated.
“Did he absorb it?”
On the other side, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of Zhang Yu, who had been hiding in the shadows all along, and he thought to himself, “as expected”.
“The replication conditions for a Dao Seed are often related to its specific affinity and function.”
“The usage requirements for [One Qi Swallows the Universe]… are probably also related to magic power absorption, so upon seeing the magic power I left behind, Tai Yuebai took the initiative to absorb it.”
“Even so… my act of leaving behind magic power might have also allowed him to deduce some information about me.”
Having completed the replication, Zhang Yu immediately began to comprehend [One Qi Swallows the Universe]. A moment later, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes, quickly followed by extreme shock.
“So that’s how it is… It can create something out of nothing, using one’s own magic power to simulate and generate any known energy, as long as it has been absorbed before.”
“All known energy? So even hidden Immortal Qi can be generated? Could it be that the energy used by Immortals can also be generated?”
“Does this comply with the laws of the Immortal Dao?”
Originally, Zhang Yu observed the conditions of Tai Yuebai and Lie Jinghong, thinking that this [One Qi Swallows the Universe] was only related to the hidden Immortal Qi, but he didn’t expect…
“A 5-character Dao Seed, a heaven-defying ability, and…”
Zhang Yu sensed it carefully and discovered that the Dao Seed ability of [One Qi Swallows the Universe] was actually unupgradable.
And all of this seemed to indicate the extraordinary nature of this Dao Seed ability.
Immortal Slayer, however, put forward a guess: “Perhaps, it’s not that it can’t be upgraded, but that it has reached its peak.” Zhang Yu was slightly startled: “Peak?”
The next moment, Zhang Yu shook his head inwardly, first dispelling distracting thoughts and focusing his attention on the present.
“Whatever it is, in short… my current condition is very good, better than ever!”
With a thought from Zhang Yu, accompanied by the consumption of magic power, [One Qi Swallows the Universe] had been activated impressively.
And the target generated was precisely the hidden Immortal Qi that had been embedded into his Law Edict after Zhang Yu’s interference.
In an instant, wisps of hidden Immortal Qi had already emerged from his fingertips, merging into the surrounding heaven, earth, and all myriad things.
However, Zhang Yu could feel the magic power within his body burning fiercely as well.
“The magic power consumption is immense.”
“But it doesn’t matter, I have plenty of means to recover my magic power.”
As his magic power surged, more and more hidden Immortal Qi poured out into the air.
At the same time, Zhang Yu’s Void-Refined Primordial Spirit passed through one Law Edict True Domain after another, actively coming into contact with and absorbing the hidden Immortal Qi that had been interfered with by the trainees.
The next moment, even more types of hidden Immortal Qi surged from Zhang Yu’s fingertips.
There was some from Yue Qinglan, some from Kuang Zhiqian, as well as from Bu Yingshu and Di Xuan…
“To me, [One Qi Swallows the Universe] isn’t just used to… accelerate the spread of the Law Edicts.”
“I can easily generate hidden Immortal Qi inscribed with the Law Edicts of others, allowing me to observe, research, and explore the principles of their Law Edicts much more easily…”
In Zhang Yu’s mind, 64 versions of himself — whether standing or sitting, lying down or walking — were currently observing the simulated hidden Immortal Qi generated from the different trainees.
And along with his observation and his understanding, Zhang Yu’s mutated Myriad Daos Law Establishment Heavenly Book (Sect-Guarding Edition) and [Myriad Phenomena] both began to operate intensely.
At this moment, as the final piece of the puzzle was completely put into place, Zhang Yu’s Law Edict potential evaluation level… was surging at an unprecedented speed!
Just as Zhang Yu was exploring the usage strategies for [One Qi Swallows the Universe], the pursuit of Law Edicts among the various trainees also gradually reached a white-hot stage.
With the frantic spread of numerous Law Edicts, watching city after city fall under increasingly heavy burdens, the Material Humans’ support for the Dual Rest Law Edict continued to rise.
Especially in the cities not yet enveloped by any Law Edicts, everyone increasingly looked forward to the arrival of the Dual Rest Law Edict, eagerly anticipating its future descent.
Second Phase, Day 11.
“What Dual Rest Law Edict? On what grounds are we not allowed to work every day?”
“What? The salary remains the same? After the workdays are reduced, unfinished work can be done as overtime? And we can even get overtime pay for it?”
“Even artifact spirits need Dual Rest! More job positions have opened up!”
“Can’t you see we’re on our days off? When employees are on rest, management needs to shut up!”
“You bastard! The company has to pay for overtime? How can anyone run a business like this?!”
“If you don’t run it! There are plenty of others who will!”
Watching this monumental change of collapsing morals and ruined propriety, the numerous judges secretly shook their heads: “The perfectly good business environment has been ruined!”
“If this were in ancient times, Tai Yuebai would be destroying the Immortal Cultivation environment! It is a crime on par with polluted spiritual energy and destroying a Spirit Vein.”
Fa Liuyuan said, “It is merely a temporary pain.”
Tai Yuebai knew that his actions would inevitably attract countless enmities, but he did not care.
With the extreme support of countless Material Humans, Tai Yuebai felt an increasingly astonishing Thought Tide Amplification surging toward him, blessing his Law Edict and causing its spreading speed to increase wildly, fiercely, and explosively.
“Do you see this? Lie Jinghong!”
Looking at Lie Jinghong, who was gradually being left further and further behind, Tai Yuebai said indifferently, “This is the direction chosen by the era; this is the mission bestowed upon me by history.”
“Kunxu has reached a point where it must make a change.”
“Your Law Edict is beneath mine, and this is the clear proof!”
Lie Jinghong roared furiously, “Bullshit!”
“If the will of the Immortal Emperor, if the thoughts of the Immortal Emperor cannot be placed first, then such a society, such a world has no meaning to exist! In the end, it will only be rebooted by the Immortal Emperors!”
“This is what you fucking call Immortal Dao Technology tyranny! The truth of the world!”
“This world is meant to revolve around the strongest! To revolve around the Immortal Emperor!”
“And only my Law Edict, out of all of yours, is the most capable of representing the Immortal Emperor’s interests and the Immortal Emperor’s will!”
“I even have the Law Edict template bestowed by the Immortal Emperor! Mine is the true grade 1 Law Edict! Towering above all of you!”
Amidst the explosive outburst, Lie Jinghong’s various abilities, cultivation arts, and magical artifacts all fully synchronized. His magic power was depleted time and time again, only to be replenished time and time again.
Surging hidden Immortal Qi erupted from his body, sweeping in all directions like waves of bombardment.
But even going all out like this, he was still unable to close the distance between himself and Tai Yuebai.
“Even when we both activated [One Qi Swallows the Universe], I actually can’t catch up to him?”
“Is it just because the countless lower-tier cultivators in this assessment all support Tai Yuebai’s Law Edict more?”
“Do you guys… want Dual Rest that fucking badly?!”
Meanwhile, the numerous trainees trailing behind watched the two frantically advancing at breakneck speed, all showing expressions of shock.
Yue Qinglan thought to herself, “They’re too fast; there’s simply no way to catch up to them.”
Cang Juehuan gritted his teeth and said, “How can there be such monsters? And two of them at once. We are simply not on the same level as them.”
Kuang Zhiqian thought to himself, “Will the final victory be decided between Lie Jinghong and Tai Yuebai?” Thinking of this, a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “If that’s the case, my Law Edict and I… might become the key to their final showdown.”
But there were two trainees who were still closely pursuing Lie Jinghong and Tai Yuebai. They were the teamed-up Di Xuan and Bu Yingshu.
Second Phase, Day 12!
Bu Yingshu said unwillingly, “We… we can’t catch up to them!”
Di Xuan said calmly, “Our advantage is the repeated execution of the Law Edict. Any preparation done for exams or Realm Taxes will increase recognition, thus enhancing the Thought Tide amplification.”
“Keep digging inward! Stimulate all the potential of those lower-tier cultivators!”
“Even if we can’t catch up to them, we must far surpass everyone else.”
In an instant, their propaganda machines went into full swing, overwhelming their territory with promotional materials about tutoring, exams, and permanent certificates.
Di Xuan shouted, “The cultivation realm is the fundamental pursuit of the Immortal Dao. Under the Aspiration for the Immortal Dao, no one can escape our ‘Once Certified, Temporarily Certified’ and ‘Once Certified, Always Certified’! All behaviors of taking exams and making money to buy certificates are compliance with the Law Edict and will be converted into recognition of our Law Edict!”
Bu Yingshu: “All of you, go to tutoring! Go prepare for exams!”
Di Xuan: “All of you, go make money! Go buy certificates!”
Accompanied by the continuous propaganda and pressure from the two, the Material Humans in the cities were activated like examination machines and money-making machines, providing the two with even more Thought Tide amplification.
And even though the Material Humans were becoming more and more exhausted, they still increasingly supported and agreed with the “Once Certified, Temporarily Certified” and “Once Certified, Always Certified” Law Edicts.
However, a trace of confusion couldn’t help but appear in the hearts of the Material Humans.
“Examinations are right, and buying certificates is also right… but why… why is life getting harder and harder?”
Second Phase, Day 13!
Feeling the continuous acceleration of Bu Yingshu and Di Xuan behind him, Lie Jinghong gave a cold snort.
“Your acceleration will only lead to my further acceleration.”
“Whether it’s Minimum Lifespan, Artifact Spirit Human Rights, or Once Certified, Temporarily Certified and Once Certified, Always Certified… as long as you are in the Myriad Laws Sect, all of this is inseparable from the Dharma Realm.”
“So overall… the spread of every Law Edict and the amplification of every Thought Tide will bring about more obligatory use of the Dharma Realm, making my Law Edict stronger.”
“Tai Yuebai, right now you are not fighting against me alone.”
The propagation speed of Lie Jinghong’s Law Edict skyrocketed once again.
At this moment, behind him were the collective support of the heavenly chosen and elites from major factions.
Lie Jinghong thought coldly in his heart, “So what if you have the support of more lower-tier cultivators? Can you fight against all of us alone?”
“The will of the upper-tier cultivators decides everything! This is Kunxu!”
And within Lie Jinghong’s domain, the Material Humans agreed that the Dharma Realm Obligation was perfectly justified, but the gambling, life insurance, and tutoring in the Dharma Realm… absolutely everything made them feel exhausted and confused.
“It is obviously getting more convenient, and technology is obviously advancing, but why… why is it getting more and more tiring!”
Second Phase, Day 14!
Tai Yuebai felt the continuous pursuit and approach behind him, the Law Edict Domain from Lie Jinghong.
He could feel that the other party was not pursuing him alone, but was pursuing him under the support of many heavenly chosen.
At this moment, Tai Yuebai had to face many heavenly chosen and elites, and the hostility towards him, his Law Edict, and even Dual Rest… that came from the instincts of the upper-tier cultivators.
And behind Tai Yuebai, there were only countless Material Humans.
“Upper-tier cultivators enjoy the profits, while lower-tier cultivators pays the price. This is the iron law of Kunxu.”
Tai Yuebai thought to himself, “Even after the technological advancement of Law Edicts, which require the uplifting of the masses, the thoughts of the masses are still nothing more than toys to be kneaded and molded at will in the hands of upper-tier cultivators and Immortals.”
“To change Kunxu, one must stand from a perspective that benefits the Immortal Emperor and the Immortals.”
“And now… is precisely this rare, once-in-a-millennium historical opportunity.”
“The extreme exploitation of lower-tier cultivators can no longer bring growth; instead, it will bring a decline!”
At this moment, Tai Yuebai could feel that, in the face of the constant pressure from the numerous trainees, the Material Humans on this land had gradually reached the limit of their endurance.
Under extreme exploitation, their work efficiency continued to slide, the value they created gradually dropped, their limits were constantly lowered, and their consumption power collapsed… More and more people would begin to realize that only Dual Rest could be their way out.
A Material Human shouted, “Dual Rest is great! I strongly support Dual Rest!”
Another Material Human angrily said, “What’s so good about it? If everyone gets Dual Rest, the company won’t be able to afford people, and we’ll all lose our jobs!”
Tai Yuebai understood that not everyone would support Dual Rest at the very beginning.
And it seemed that precisely because he lacked this bit of support, this trace of Thought Tide amplification, he felt Lie Jinghong chasing him closer and closer from behind.
Lie Jinghong shouted, “Do you feel it? Tai Yuebai! Only the Dharma Realm is the choice of all sentient beings!”
Tai Yuebai secretly gritted his teeth. Hold on! Just hold on! More and more people will understand… My Law Edict will reign above all others!
Just as the fierce battle between the two entered a white-hot stage.
Second Phase, Day fifteen!
All the judges in the office cast their gazes toward the ranking board at the front.
Over the past few days, although the many trainees fought fiercely like dragons and tigers, more and more judges no longer paid them much attention.
They didn’t pay much attention to Di Xuan, they didn’t pay much attention to Bu Yingshu, they didn’t pay much attention to Lie Jinghong, and they didn’t even pay much attention to Tai Yuebai.
Almost all the judges had their eyes firmly locked onto another person over the past few days.
And it was also within these few days that this person’s name rapidly climbed the leaderboard, surpassing one heavenly chosen after another at a speed that could only be called insane.
From 10th place, he surged to 7th, then broke into the top 5, and at this moment, crashed headlong into the top 3.
3rd place! Zhang Yu!
Bu Yuangui thought to himself, “This kid… took advantage of the inherent flaws of lower-tier cultivators, taking advantage of the evil of all living beings.”
Fa Liuyuan wondered inwardly, “Just how did he research this entire series of techniques? Or rather… who gave them to him?”
Meanwhile, shortly after Zhang Yu’s Law Edict Domain expanded madly and finally broke into the top 3, Lie Jinghong and Tai Yuebai both seemed to sense something.
“What is that?!” Tai Yuebai exclaimed.
“Whose Law Edict is this?” Lie Jinghong asked.
The two looked in the same direction in unison. An unfamiliar Law Edict Domain was crashing head-on toward everyone at a terrifying speed…
“It’s here!”
A Law Edict impact that exceeded the imagination of all the trainees arrived at this very moment.
