Chapter 1992: The Embryo of Civilization

After a pause, Lu Zhong continued, "And the myriad gods in the heavens represent the myriad worlds under heaven. To win the hearts of myriad gods is to win the hearts of myriad worlds."

"Before, the indigenous gods of the heavens had no concept of the heavens. They only lived for themselves and fought for themselves, just like scattered sand living in various worlds. From now on, the concept of the heavens will gradually penetrate into people's hearts, and all the gods will know: they are gods of the heavens, the heavens are ruled by the Strongest Palace, and the Lord of the heavens is the supreme ruler of the heavens. Year after year, the worlds controlled by these gods and the people they control will also know that they are people of the heavens."

When Lu Zhong said this, he seemed to be a little thirsty. He picked up the wine glass on the table, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in the glass.

Zhao Yan sighed and said, "I know all this. I still say the same thing. What's the point of Brother Zhi doing this?"

He also drank the wine in the cup and said, "Let me be frank. These indigenous gods and the people under their rule, even if they attack together, can never be a match for Brother Zhi."

Zhao Yan put down the wine glass and exhaled softly: "With Brother Zhi's current strength, he alone can destroy the entire heaven!"

Lu Zhong was silent for a moment, then said, "You are right. With Brother Zhi's current strength, he can easily destroy the entire heaven by himself. Then, according to your idea, you, me, everyone in our Dachang World, and even the masters of the Strongest Hall, all of us together are no match for Brother Zhi. In this case, what is the meaning of our existence? What is the meaning of our hard work day and night?"

Zhao Yan opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Lu Zhong exhaled softly: "The value of a person cannot be measured by pure strength. Otherwise, all ordinary people will lose the value of existence and become like ants and grass. This may include our relatives and friends. Do you think your relatives and friends are all ants and grass?"

Zhao Yan continued to remain silent.

Lu Zhong sighed and said, "I can probably understand Brother Zhi's idea. He wants to take advantage of the closed period to unite the entire heaven and make it a united force. He wants to build the heaven into a civilization, a civilization that is united and acts in unison."

At this point, he glanced at Zhao Yan and said, "As a civilization, our Heaven Realm is too weak now. There are only a dozen cosmic-level powerhouses. In the endless multiverse, is there such a weak civilization? Therefore, Brother Zhi will use the Ascension Conference to select the powerhouses, and then grant the top ten contestants the Essence of the Universe. Among the top ten, as long as two or three can break through to the cosmic level, our Heaven Realm will gain. The powerhouses after the top ten will also be rewarded with immortal arts and artifacts. With these things, their strength will be greatly enhanced in the coming time, which can also be regarded as the overall enhancement of our Heaven Realm's strength."

"There is also Tiancheng. If I guess correctly, after Tiancheng is opened, Brother Zhi will definitely set up space teleportation arrays in Tiancheng. In this way, the indigenous gods who have obtained the permanent residence rights of Tiancheng will be able to easily travel between the heaven and their world through these space teleportation arrays. Not only them, but more and more gods, even Yuanying and demon lords, will come to the Origin Heaven through the space teleportation arrays. In less than a hundred years, Tiancheng will become the transportation hub of the entire heaven. By then, the entire Tiancheng will be full of gods and geniuses, and the Origin Heaven will become more and more prosperous."

"Before, I was still thinking, the Origin Heaven Realm has been desolate for a long time, what should Brother Zhi do to make it prosperous? Now I understand, with this Ascension Conference as a prelude, as the gods and geniuses from all the heavens and worlds pour into the Origin Heaven Realm, it will be difficult for the Origin Heaven Realm not to prosper."

“If we can establish laws in the Origin Heaven Realm to protect the safety of everyone’s life and property, more and more people will be willing to come to the Origin Heaven Realm and live there. By then, Tiancheng will truly become the best place in the entire Heaven Realm.”

Lu Zhong talked eloquently, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but praise him: "Lu Zhong, you know too much."

Lu Zhong glanced at Zhao Yan: "Are you praising me or insulting me?"

Zhao Yan said: "Of course I am praising you. I didn't expect that you could analyze so many things in a single Ascension Conference."

Lu Zhong smiled and said, "I have managed Dachang World for Brother Zhi for so many years, and it's not in vain."

At this time, Xiao Zhi's voice sounded above their heads: "Lv Zhong, are you interested in managing Tiancheng for me?"

This is Xiao Zhi's voice.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Brother Zhi, you are actually eavesdropping on our conversation."

Xiao Zhi's voice said calmly, "I am listening openly, how can it be called eavesdropping?"

Zhao Yan curled his lips and said, "Brother Zhi, you are the Lord of Heaven, whatever you say is right. From now on, Lu Zhong and I will chat directly via voice transmission."

Xiao Zhi's voice said frankly: "I'm telling you in secret, even if you guys are chatting via voice transmission, I can still hear you."

He was telling the truth.

With his current strength, let alone the telepathic conversation between two high gods, in this Origin Heaven, even if two strongest people are telepathically chatting without opening the strongest divine realm, he can still hear something vaguely.

After hearing what Xiao Zhi said, Zhao Yan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhong hesitated and said, "Brother Zhi, I really want to share your worries, but I still have to practice, and my energy is limited, so..."

When he said this, Lu Zhong looked apologetic.

He has already spent a lot of energy managing a Dachang world for Xiao Zhi. If he is to manage a Tiancheng that has not yet got on the right track for Xiao Zhi, then he may have very little time left for cultivation.

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi sighed and said, "It seems that I can only hand over the management rights of Tiancheng to others."

Zhao Yan said: "Who should I give it to?"

Xiao Zhi's voice said, "Leave it to the people under the command of other hall masters. The other hall masters still have many management talents, who should be able to take on the position of Tiancheng City Lord."

Zhao Yan said, "Give it to other palace masters? Brother Zhi, why don't you let me take the position of Tiancheng City Lord. I promise to manage Tiancheng in an orderly manner for you!"

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi said: "You can't."

"Why can't I?" Zhao Yan said unconvinced.

"Your personality is not suitable to be the Lord of Tiancheng, and you have never had any management experience." said Xiao Zhi's voice.

Lu Zhong took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Brother Zhi, if you need me, I am willing to manage Tiancheng for you."

"Then your practice..."

Lu Zhong said, "When managing Tiancheng, there will be more things to do in the beginning. Once Tiancheng becomes stable, there will be fewer things to do. At most, I will lose a few decades of training time. As long as I can help you, Brother Zhi, this small loss is nothing."

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "Okay, from now on, you are the Lord of Tiancheng. As the Lord of Tiancheng, I will not treat you unfairly. As long as you can manage Tiancheng well and satisfy the Strongest Palace, then the Strongest Palace will give you a Universe Essence as a reward."

When Xiao Zhi said the words "the essence of the universe", both Lu Zhong and Zhao Yan's eyes lit up.

The reward for becoming a city lord is actually the essence of the universe!

Zhao Yan raised his head and shouted, "Brother Zhi, I think I can still save him. I can definitely help you manage Tiancheng. Please believe me, I also want the Essence of the Universe!"

If every table at the banquet was not equipped with a soundproof barrier, everyone present would probably be able to hear his voice when he shouted.

Lu Zhong suppressed his excitement and said, "Brother Zhi, I will do my best to manage Tiancheng for you!"

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi said, "I'm confident that you can handle the work. When the time comes, people under the command of other palace masters will come to Tiancheng to serve as your deputies. You must remember that you are the city lord, and they are just your deputies."

Lu Zhong said solemnly: "I understand, Brother Zhi, I know what to do." After Xiao Zhi finished talking with Lu Zhong, Zhao Yan couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhi, is there anything suitable for me to do? If so, just tell me. I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and I will definitely do everything you tell me to do!"

Xiao Zhi's voice said with a smile: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, I can swear to God!" Zhao Yan said.

Xiao Zhi's voice said, "Well, then I have something for you to do."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard that.

The voice belonging to Xiao Zhi said: "What I am going to give you is: practice well and strive to break through to the cosmic level as soon as possible. After you break through to the cosmic level, I will give you a cosmic essence as a reward."

Zhao Yan: “Ah?…”

His face suddenly turned bitter.

Breakthrough to the cosmic level...

For him, breaking through to the cosmic level is too far away...

The celebration continues.

Xiao Zhi supported himself on the armrests of the throne and watched the performance below with interest.

In addition to watching the performance, he was also thinking about something in his heart.

He heard every word of the conversation between Zhao Yan and Lu Chong just now.

It’s not that he likes to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations, but his control over this area is so strong that any movement in this area cannot escape his perception.

The reason why he chose Lu Zhong to be the first city lord of Tiancheng was because Lu Zhong analyzed most of his thoughts.

In fact, he didn't think so much at the beginning.

But as time went by, and as the idea of ​​holding a martial arts competition was put into practice little by little, he naturally thought of some deeper things.

He wanted to strengthen the connection between the Origin Heaven and the various worlds under its jurisdiction.

He wanted to integrate the power of the entire heaven.

He wanted to dig out more geniuses from the heaven and train them.

In the heaven today, there are only a dozen or so cosmic-level strongmen. The number of cosmic-level strongmen is really too small.

In the endless multiverse, every civilization has thousands of cosmic-level powerful beings.

His heaven still has a long way to go if it wants to transform into a civilization...

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a few hours, the celebration finally came to an end.

At the end of the celebration, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. Just as they were about to leave, a figure leaped up from the white clouds and flew into the air. Finally, it stopped in the sky dozens of miles away from Xiao Zhi. Then, it knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Xiao Zhi who was sitting on the throne, saying, "I am Jing Yuan from Changshan Realm. I have admired the Lord of Heaven since I was a child. I am willing to sit down before the Lord of Heaven and listen to his teachings. I also ask the Lord of Heaven to accept me as a disciple!"

For a moment, the whole space fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Jing Yuan.

Although it was Xiao Zhi who took the initiative to propose to accept Jing Yuan as his disciple.

But in this ceremony of becoming a disciple, Jing Yuan had to take the initiative to ask Xiao Zhi to become his disciple.

Xiao Zhi looked at Jing Yuan who was kneeling in the air and kowtowing to him, without saying a word.

Emperor Meng Tian stepped forward and said, "Jing Yuan, do you know that once you are a teacher, you are a father for life? Do you know that once you become a disciple of the Lord of Heaven, if you dare to betray the Lord of Heaven, the entire heaven will not tolerate you?"

"I know." Jing Yuan kowtowed again with a firm expression.

Xiao Zhi showed a gentle smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Get up, Jing Yuan, from now on, you will be my eldest disciple."

"Thank you, Master, for your help!" Jing Yuan had a serious expression on his face. He kowtowed three times to Xiao Zhi before he stood up.

At this time, the originally quiet crowd had become noisy.

Many people looked at Jing Yuan with envy.

  This means taking the Lord of Heaven as your teacher!

With such a master protecting him, Jing Yuan's future is limitless. He will probably be able to walk freely in the heaven in the future.

At this moment, everyone knew that the Lord of Heaven had accepted a disciple today, named Jing Yuan.

"I also want to find a master. Even if I can't find God as my master, I'm willing to find the masters of the temples as my masters!" said an aboriginal god eager to try.

As soon as the aboriginal god said this, someone beside him poured cold water on him, saying, "You are willing, but he won't. Can't you see that? This Jing Yuan should have become his disciple a long time ago. Now it's just a formality. If you rush up to become his disciple without knowing what's good for you, you will get nothing but embarrassment!"

The aboriginal god looked at the person who threw cold water on him, and said with some shame and anger: "If you want me to tell you, of course I know. I'm just imagining it, is that not okay?!"

High in the sky, Jing Yuan’s apprenticeship ceremony was still going on.

Xiao Zhi, Yang Xi, as well as the masters of the most powerful halls, including Emperor Kongtian, all gave gifts to Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan greeted them one by one and thanked them one by one.

Thanks to Baihun for the reward.
