While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

The four ambassadors looked at each other, reluctant.

Climbing the stairs seems like a loss of national dignity, a bit embarrassing.

If we don't go, we won't be able to report to the Empress later.

The empresses of the four great empires all wanted to know what level Yang Ding was at.

Everyone wanted to know whether Wang Xuehua was dead or not, how Yang Ding defeated her, and whether he was injured.

The ninth element, God, is the greatest variable in humanity's new格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or pattern of human development).

Currently, through interrogating intelligent alien beasts, humanity has learned that only planets protected by God can be spared from becoming cosmic hunting grounds.

Once the human race of Earth sits at the cosmic god-level table, they can go hunting on other planets without getting hurt.

Seeing that the four were still hesitating, Ye Ke said, "If you four feel tired, then take the elevator up. However, I don't know if my husband will be able to see you."

Isn't the meaning obvious?

The White Eagle Empire has always been pragmatic, being arrogant when necessary and incredibly soft when appropriate. So they said, "Hey, you three, you're all at the fifth or sixth rank of cultivation. Just consider this a mere three hundred levels as a post-meal digestion."

With him offering a way out, the envoys from the other three countries also nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense, that makes sense. Let's talk as we walk."

Upstairs, Yang Ding took a shower and then received the pirates who had attacked Wang Xuehua's headquarters.

"Regent, I did as you said, I killed Wang Xuehua's five sons and six grandchildren. Can you return my aircraft carrier to me?" Tang Depu said.

"Regent, I have killed even more and wounded Wang Xuehua's husband. Can I reopen the pirate market?" Alexander Khan said.

Yang Ding sat on a large sofa under the cherry blossom tree on the rooftop, with Zhou Ruoxi on his left and Fang Jing on his right.

"That's possible, but I have one condition."

"Please speak."

The two pirate captains spoke with utmost respect.

"From now on, you may hunt for cultivation resources in the East China Sea, but you must not harm any more mermaids or beastmen."

"what?"

At most one-third of the pirates in the East China Sea were real pirates; the rest were regular soldiers sent to hunt for resources.

Their primary target was the Merfolk Beast Clan, especially their chieftain's dual Grandmaster abilities in spatial and water-based combat.

Yang Ding embraced his two wives and said, "I was able to defeat Grandmaster Wang Xuehua thanks to the Mermaid Clan Chief's offering of beast crystals. The condition I promised her was to send her descendants home. Anyone who dares to hunt down the Mermaid Clan will be killed."

"Ah, the merman chieftain is dead?"

"That's right, my two wives became Grandmasters of Water and Space magic after absorbing her beast crystals."

Alexander Khan and Don Depp showed extreme disappointment in their eyes.

They spent twenty years wandering the East China Sea, suffering from poor food and sleep, all in order to obtain the primal force of water.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, why did the merman chieftain choose to sacrifice himself?"

"Because she believed that I would be the god of the blue planet, capable of fusing space and time abilities to open a spacetime tunnel."

"Ah, the God of Blue Star? Opening a time tunnel?"

Humanity is currently being passively exploited because other planets have two ways to reach Earth, while Earth's humans cannot leave.

The technological route is definitely not feasible; it's simply too time-consuming.

Even if humans can live for hundreds of millions of years and travel in space, the tens of millions of children who were abducted would probably have become food long ago and would never be able to return to their homeland.

"That's right. Opening a time tunnel is equivalent to starting a new cosmic era for humanity."

Yang Ding looked at the two of them and said, word by word, "The Ninth Element, namely God."

Alexander Khan and Don Depp, the two pirate leaders, were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost knelt down.

The kid in front of me is actually a god.

"You did a good job this time. Go back and persuade your Empress to consider the overall interests of humanity and whether she wants to form a human federation with us."

"Human Federation?"

"That's right, your queens are all time-manipulation users, so they should be able to understand me."

Alexander Khan finally realized, "Wait a minute, we're pirates, how could we be talking to the Queen?"

"Stop pretending, let's go."

"Okay, sure!"

After the two pirate leaders left, Yang Ding summoned Murong Yan, Mu Qingyao, and also called Ye Rou and Ye Ke up to announce the candidate for the East Sea City Lord.

"I'll listen to my husband."

Murong Yan and Mu Qingyao replied at the same time.

Ye Rou smiled and pulled Fang Jing along, "Oh, my dear Jing-jie, no, my Lord City Lord, Xiao Rou greets you."

"What city lord? Nobody's as powerful as you, big sister. Even the Queen and the city lord are your sister."

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow, Sister Jing will personally judge Wang Xuehua."

Fang Jing nodded. "Alright, who will carry out the decapitation?"

"I'll handle Wang Xuehua myself," Yang Ding replied.

Ye Ke, who had remained silent until now, replied, "You are the regent, so you need to maintain your approachability in front of ordinary people. I'll be the executioner."

Yang Ding was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that the sixth brother, whom he didn't want him to touch, would be so thoughtful and considerate.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Ye family, wouldn't this be beneath you?"

"It doesn't matter. My father is dead, so be it. Apart from going to the Hall of Heroes, who else remembers him?" Ye Ke replied.

"Sister, should I do it?" Ye Rou asked.

Ye Ke shook her head. "Now that you're a mother, you shouldn't do such cruel things. The feeling of execution and beheading is different from killing someone."

As Ye Ke spoke, a hint of pain flashed across her eyes.

While serving in the North, Ye Ke encountered a kind-hearted older sister in the unit who treated her like her own daughter, and Ye Ke felt the maternal love she had been missing from her.

However, during one mission, this woman was captured by the Predator and her head was chopped off in front of her as an execution.

Public executions are how the Predators treat their prey.

Ye Ke's micro-expressions did not escape Yang Ding's keen eyes. He planned to use his time-series gaze to understand this sixth brother when he had some free time.

The colder she was, the more he wanted to make her completely submissive.

Just then, four imperial envoys came up, panting.

They were deeply shocked as they watched Wang Xuehua being trampled under Yang Ding's feet, powerless to resist.

Someone actually managed to drain all the water from the body of the strongest water-type grandmaster.

Mu Qingyao, dressed in military uniform, sat next to Yang Ding and shouted, "You've seen the Regent of the Jinglong Empire, why aren't you kneeling down!"

"We are envoys..."

"You all look like spies!"

Yang Ding revealed the handwritten letter that their empress had written to Wang Xuehua.

The gist is that as long as Wang Xuehua successfully ascends the throne and survives a week to prove that she has the strength to rebel, the four great empires will send troops to protect Donghai City.

The four envoys were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground. If they didn't behave themselves now, they might be beheaded.

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, Your Majesty. We are just messengers."

Yang Ding returned the four secret letters to the four people and said, "In that case, go back and tell your empresses that I am going to establish a human federation. Murong Wan'er is the empress of the federation, and I am the god of the federation. Tell them to give this matter serious consideration."

"And what about our Empress?"

"The human race can accommodate five empresses, but only if they are all below the level of gods."

The four envoys looked at each other, not daring to refute.

The fact that they could easily wipe out Wang Xuehua is the source of their arrogance.
