Chapter 1075: The Ruler Of The Human Race

"Wretched!"

Even though this was said very calmly, the surrounding environment started to tremble when it was said.

Black-and-white light gathered to form huge Yin Yang fish. Within these Yin Yang fish was a figure sitting in a lotus position!

Within this realm, this person was the sky, this person was the law, this person was everything!

Whatever he said was sacred and carried great weight.

However, the instant he said the word 'wretched', the figure's open eyes slowly closed. Even though this matter made him really uncomfortable deep down, he had more important things to attend to currently.

Therefore, even though this matter made him furious, he couldn't spare the time for it.

"Senior Brother, Junior Brother Long Fantian requests an audience!" A faint voice traveled through the black realm.

The eyes of the man sitting between the two Yin Yang fishes flashed with anger.

Clearly, he didn't really like the owner of that voice. However, he replied dully, "Oh, it is young Junior Brother. What is the matter?"

The surrounding environment then started to change. The originally vast and spacious realm turned into a massive palace where a pagoda stood, tall and imposing.

Long Fantian looked at the man sitting in a lotus position at the top of the black-and-white pagoda with admiration.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother. Congratulations. Senior Brother's cultivation is just one step away from reaching a perfected state of the Taichu Yuan Venerate and attaining the second Taiyi Yuan Venerate after Master!" Long Fantian cupped his hands and spoke respectfully.

The second Taiyi Yuan Venerate. This title made the sitting figure appear a tad pleased.

After all, the Taiyu Yuan Venerate was something he had been chasing all these years. Even though he hadn't yet achieved it, he was already a half-step Taiyi Yuan Venerate.

Just another step and he would reach this level. Thus, he naturally felt really happy deep down.

"Junior Brother, you didn't just come over because you wish to congratulate Senior Brother, right?"

Long Fantian could hear a hint of delight in his tone, while the slight worry he had felt had completely disappeared.

"Senior Brother's eyes are sharp and naturally won't be deceived by my little tricks," Long Fantian said softly. "I should probably apologize to Senior Brother this time. I am also somewhat responsible for Apprentice-Nephew Lu Xinlong's incident."

Long Fantian made a sorrowful face and said, "If I hadn't asked for the Divine Creation Disc, Apprentice-Nephew Lu Xinlong wouldn't have come up with the idea of getting the Great Obliteration Millstone."

The old man sitting within the void eyed Long Fantian icily. The surrounding atmosphere immediately became stifling.

"Do you think that I do not know what you are trying to do?" the figure, which was as still as a mountain, said frostily.

Long Fantian sensed the pressure on his body increasing. However, he didn't feel it, so his eyes sparkled with delight.

He knew he couldn't keep the fact that he had made Lu Xinlong snatch the Great Obliteration Disc from his Senior Brother. The reason the Senior Brother hadn't stopped this was because he too hoped Lu Xinlong could obtain the Great Obliteration Millstone.

However, the Senior Brother had never accounted for Luo Yunyang actually being this strong.

From this aspect, the Senior Brother should be rather supportive of what he was going to say today.

"Senior Brother, I actually had the intention of borrowing Xinlong to teach Luo Yunyang a lesson!" Long Fantian said. "Luo Yunyang exterminated all descendants of the Long Family in the Longlin Great Cosmos. Wouldn't I, Long Fantian, be a huge joke if he was allowed to go on living peacefully?"

"However, I always felt that Xinlong and his companions wouldn't be defeated by Luo Yunyang based on his strength."

"Furthermore, I never thought that Luo Yunyang would have the gall to disobey Tianding Realm and your status as the First Hall Master of Hong Meng Sacred Hall."

The figure seated at the top of the black-and-white pagoda said coldly, "Then how about you tell me what we should do about the current situation?"

"Senior Brother, while most of the 36 Great Cosmoses of the lower realm are inclined towards Tianding Realm, there are also some who harbor doubts."

Long Fantian continued speaking sternly. "We absolutely have to be merciless with such people."

"I absolutely won't permit you to cleanse the 36 Great Cosmoses now," the figure on top of the black-and-white pagoda said icily. "Don't bother speaking if you want me to support you on this."

"I am definitely not that silly!" Long Fantian chuckled. "I came to look for Senior Brother because I have a plan and want Senior Brother's help."

"Oh, all this time you have been the youngest amongst us, but I did know that your ambition was the greatest."

The figure of Hong Meng Sacred Hall's First Master said sarcastically, "Let's hear what sort of plan you have."

"I am prepared to ask the master to integrate all humans, install a ruler, strengthen the sacred halls, and unify the entire Human Race."

Long Fantian appeared stirred-up when he finished speaking. Clearly, he was determined to become the ruler of the Human Race.

Ruler of the Human Race? The figure surrounded by a black-and-white glow shuddered for a moment. Clearly, he hadn't imagined that Long Fantian would be so ambitious.

That was the ruler of all humans!

"You want to become the ruler of all humans?"

Long Fantian answered this question confidently. "Besides my few senior brothers, I feel that I wouldn't be able to give up this role to anyone else. However, the various senior brothers are inclined towards cultivation and don't have any intention of assuming the role of the ruler of the Human Race."

"I can promise that once I become the ruler of the Human Race, I will split up the power of the imperial court. You can control a quarter of this power."

A quarter of the power of the imperial court didn't sound like much. However, the old man knew that this was much more than the current strength he possessed.

"Don't you want to control the strength of the entire Human Race?" Although he was tempted, the old man's voice was stern and unwavering.

Long Fantian appeared even more delighted. He had been worried his Senior Brother wouldn't approve of it. However, it seemed like he was a little tempted.

"Senior Brother, while being the ruler of the Human Race might sound illustrious, I would still have to listen to the decisions of my master and the various senior brothers for all matters, regardless of how large or small."

At this point, Long Fantian chuckled. "Of course, I also have to admit that this would give me huge benefits."

"At least you are honest!" The man sitting on the black-and-white pagoda pondered this for a moment before adding, "What are you prepared to do with regards to Tianding Realm and the 36 Great Cosmoses if you become ruler of the Human Race?"

"Senior Brother, while the Human Race of Tianding Realm and the 36 Great Cosmoses look alike on the surface, there already exists a huge difference between us."

"I heard that in ancient times, legends spoke of a heavenly realm and a mortal realm. I believe that Tianding Realm should become the high and lofty heavenly realm, while the 36 Great Cosmoses are mortal and ordinary and should offer their greatest strength as a tribute to Tianding Realm."

The figure in the black-and-white glow nodded lightly. "The Human Race of the 36 Great Cosmoses definitely wouldn't agree to this. After all, it concerns their foundation."

"Senior Brother, consolidating all power requires exterminating some people who aren't orderly. However, I can be certain that as long as we get rid of these dissidents, the Human Race's unified power will have an even greater fighting strength under a ruler."

"I believe that Master would also approve of consolidating all the power."

The old man in the black-and-white glow nodded. "Indeed, I shall support you, Junior Brother Fantian."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Long Fantian bowed respectfully towards the old man. "As long as I become the ruler of the Human Race, I will definitely give you what you should receive," he said resolutely.

After Long Fantian left, a projection appeared within the black-and-white light and spoke to the old man seated within. "He is covetous and he conspires greatly. My lord, aren't you afraid that he will bite back at you after becoming the ruler of the Human Race if you agree with him now?"

"How can there not be a ruler if Tianding Realm wants to unite the Human Race?" the old man said. "If I assumed the role of the ruler of the Human Race, it wouldn't concern him. However, do you think I ought to undertake such a role?"

"Since I can't do it, then why not let him have a go?"

"Furthermore, only with the support of everyone else in Tianding Realm can he firmly assume the role of the Human Race's ruler!"

"As for the 36 Great Cosmoses, they already separated from us far too long ago. I am unable to show them any respect based on the way they are now."

"It is also time to establish rules so that they won't split up and each start doing their own thing. The 36 Great Cosmoses wouldn't be of any use to us like this."

The projection pondered this for an instant before saying, "I am just afraid that the 36 Great Cosmoses will rebel, which would..."

"We can let Long Fantian worry about that. We should only care about the benefits he will grant us!"

"Desiring a crown is not at all important!"

After saying that, the old man waved his arms and the black-and-white aura engulfed him and the tall pagoda disappeared into a faintly-discernible realm.
