Chapter 566: What Does Humanity Have to do With Me? - 566
If the humans were still here, then they would have stopped the Great Attractor from allowing Ye Li to do such a thing, but since they were gone and the Great Attractor had little intelligence, it was simple enough.
"Haven't you hurt many humans?"
"That's a rumor. I've never hurt humans, though I must admit I have hurt others."
After a few moments of hesitation, the Great Attractor nodded. "Fine, but only for a little."
Ye Li nodded and a Karma Spiral slowly moved towards the Great Attractor. Without issue, it entered her.
It moved around inside of her for a few moments, making her a little uncomfortable.
However, this was all she felt. Assuming Ye Li was looking at her past, she relaxed her guard.
As for Ye Li, he was not stupid enough to once again try and look into the Karma involving the powerful being. Perhaps he had been spared before, but he did not want to try his luck again.
Just as the Great Attractor let her guard down, Ye Li snapped.
In an instant, the dormant Karma Spiral activated, stripping the Great Attractor of Karma. The Great Attractor reacted almost instantly, making the Karma Spiral bounce off of her.
However, that single moment had provided Ye Li with Karma equivalent to that of fully stripping five normal sages.
It was not the majority of the Great Attractors Karma, but it was still an extremely large amount. Her eyes dimmed, clearly losing more than just some Karma. Years of work from the caretakers were reduced to nothing as the Great Attractor seemed to have even less intelligence than before.
Green specks of light exited her body and formed a human on her shoulder. His eyes were furious, far more furious than a normal living being should ever be.
It was as if Ye Li had just smacked his revered mother in the face.
"You disgusting fool! Do you even understand who you're harming? This is the origin of humanity! No human should even imagine harming such a holy figure, evil or good!"
Ye Li looked at him with disdain. "What does humanity have to do with me?"
As he spoke, multiple attacks tore through space and came towards him.
Ye Li, prepared, disappeared.
At some point, the Cosmic Sect had detected him, and he had detected that they had detected him.
Most likely, Third Eye Star Seer could directly detect him with such a small distance as long as he did not completely hide his Karma.
Regardless, the gain today made up for his battle with Ying Xiong and more.
Through preplanned teleportation arrays, Ye Li returned to the Karmic Cage. It had grown greatly over the many years, slowly being honed and grown as Ye Li gained Karma.
It had gotten to the point that random beings had managed to stumble upon the Karmic Cage. Of course, they were all cleanly taken care of.
Ye Li sat in the center of it all and digested his gains. Everything was going well, as it had always been destined to be.
For the time being, he would lay low. Once he reached the peak of the equivalent of the Sage realm, he would act again.
Yhwh continued his path smoothly as well. All he needed was the faith of others, and he had long known how to get it most effectively.
The entire universe knew of him by now. He had the equivalent of half of a universal sector believing in him. His influence could be described as just below the Cosmic Sect and the Outsiders.
He also had more and more powerful believers, though none had touched upon the level of a sage.
His strongest believer was at the early levels of the Outer World Realm. Still a cultivator rare throughout history, but nothing crazy.
Not much could be said about Yhwh's path besides that it was simple and easy to follow. There was nobody competing for the faith of these people, as he was the only one that walked this path.
He also did not need to kill or harm anyone, he just needed their faith. He could peacefully grow, bringing only joy to others.
It was a rare path that not only did not harm, but helped others. All those connected to Yhwh could feel him by their sides at all times.
Calamities were avoided, lives were saved, countless people that would have died were saved by Yhwh's power of faith. As time passed, more and more people would be born and grow to a high cultivation level. Those who would have died early on in life would now be able to fulfill their potential.
The lowest death rate in the universe was in the area that Yhwh's faith had spread throughout. This made it even easier to gain the faith of those outside this area.
Even those that didn't believe in him, such as sages or people in other universal sectors, respected him immensely for his actions and the peace he brought to others.
He was a complete opposite of Ye Li, someone who brought only death and destruction.
Years passed.
It was a tiny amount of time for cultivators, but to Ye Li and Yhwh, it felt like an entire life.
The level of the Sage realm was not so easily surpassed. Only after a hundred million years of laying low did Ye Li reach the Peak of the Sage realm. Dealing with some matters and creating different ways to use Karma, he spent an additional 10 million years preparing himself. This included comprehending Karma on a deeper level.
Surprisingly, Yhwh was able to actually catch up. It was not only due to increased effort on his part, but on the part of the Cosmic Sect and the Outsiders.
Yhwh had completely come clean about his path. Some had been shocked, while others had accepted it. They also understood that the enemy was also like this.
With his secret out, Yhwh received the assistance of countless beings to spread his faith.
Chapter 567: Old Floating Building - 567
This included help from the Caretakers, especially the leader of the three, who was incredibly strong. Among all cultivators, he was only below the past Ying Xiong and the leader of the Outsiders.
He was on the same level as the current leader of the Cosmic Sect, the one in charge until Ying Xiong recovered. Most of the Mothers strength had come from him.
The current leader of the Cosmic Sect was one of the quieter Sages. It was unknown whether he had truly gone all out so far as he was not too interested in worldly affairs. To put it simply, he did not care much about the idea of human unity or the Cosmic Sect in general.
He had one desire, to "Replace the Universe with his own".
Zhou Fan considered him as one of the cultivators most likely to become a path creator.
His possible path was similar to when Zhou Fan created a universe in his chest.
A "Universe", though not nearly complete or vast, existed in his body.
Though called a universe, it was a technique derivative of Ying Xiong's Cosmic Support art that he used with his Buddha's palms.
The difference was, his technique would permanently create stars within his body. Changing space, his entire body was filled with countless stars.
The final goal of his was to create an entire universe within him and replace the current universe with his own.
His name had been long forgotten. He was simply known as "Sage Replacement".
However, with or without him, there were still ancient sages in the universe. For example, Sage Fushang. His strength was at the top, and as the first Sage of the universe he was well respected.
Although he had long stopped teaching others to help them become Sages due to the existence of Qi beings, he still continued to cultivate on his own.
Another ancient being, often ignored, was Heaven, who still did not get involved in anything. Heaven's cultivation had been raised to the peak of the High Sage realm, and Zhou Fan did not intend to raise him any higher than that.
He had talked with Heaven, giving him the goal of creating a path.
Heaven had stayed within a certain area, always managing the Heavenborns and growing them. Yoha, a Heavenborn himself, understood this better than anyone besides Zhou Fan.
Ignoring Heaven for now, most of the ancient beings throughout the universe were helping Yhwh grow his faith. The result allowed him to catch up with Ye Li.
They did not go to any lengths to hide this, though they did not show it off. They simply knew that Ye Li would find out. They had already created a profile of his abilities, including stealth, investigation, and unreasonableness.
Both Ye Li and Yhwh were at the peak of the Sage realm. In the entire universe, they could be considered the strongest below fully grown Path Creators.
Yhwh and all of those on his side waited for Ye Li. They could not do anything else.
Meanwhile, Ye Li, reading Karma, understood everything that was happening.
Seeing that Yhwh had caught up, he knew that there would be some trouble.
There were two enemies he cared about. The Outsider leader, and Yhwh. Nobody else was qualified to make him consider them.
Ye Li had considered many targets, and even considered staying put for a longer amount of time, but he feared that if Yhwh got too strong, Karma would not be able to hide him. He needed a boost, such as the one he had received from the Mother's Karma.
Even with almost all the information in the universe at his fingertips, Ye Li still struggled to find a good target.
Eventually, he settled. It would only be one of many targets this time around, but there should be no trouble attacking this species.
Yhwh and those against the Unknown had stationed beings at nearly every plausible target, but even they did not consider some. Even if they did, they did not have enough Sages to observe everything.
Before they even received word, the destruction race, an ancient race, was destroyed overnight. Only their members outside had survived to carry on the lineage. Nobody cared about the destruction race's disappearance. They were a scourge, only allowed to live since they had contained themselves.
What they cared about was the growth of Ye Li. It was clear that he grew stronger by killing others, especially ancient beings, and killing the destruction race surely had some meaning.
Ye Li did not return to the Karmic Cage. His next target had been chosen for him.
The entire Beast alliance, now consisting of four Sages, has been stationed at an important target.
"Are you sure? With this, our betrayal will be evident." The Giant Dragon asked.
"You have no use to me as spies. When I take care of this target, it will all be worth it." Ye Li responded.
The Giant Dragon did not hesitate too long. It only cared about succeeding. The methods were up to Ye Li.
The target that the Beast alliance was guarding was the home of the ancient celestials. The ancient celestials carried the bloodline of some of the first celestials in existence.
However, what Ye Li truly cared about was not them, but what they lived on.
The alliance against the Unknown had assumed that only living beings increased Ye Li's power, a misconception purposefully guided by Ye Li.
However, that was only part of it.
The ancient celestials lived on top of what appeared to be a floating building. Zhou Fan had stayed in it in the Zhou World for a long time. Ye Li did not know this, but he could feel its immense Karma.
It was a desired target.
Naturally, the building could not have survived so long naturally. It had been preserved, repaired, and after countless years, eventually lived on as an artifact.
None knew its origin, and Ye Li did not have to know. He would strip it of its Karma, strip the ancient celestials of their Karma, and leave.
