207: Both want and want
Even though a perfect response plan had been prepared in advance, He Ming couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this moment.
A layer of fine sweat seeped from He Ming's forehead; this was a physiological fear, impossible to control.
"May I ask, who are you esteemed seniors..."
Venerable Chi Tian nodded and smiled, saying, "You are the first junior who has been able to remain calm in front of the three of us."
"I am Venerable Chi Tian."
Venerable Chi Tian pointed at Venerable Xuan Ming and introduced him: "This old fellow is Venerable Xuan Ming."
"The other one is Venerable Bai Hua. We are from the Human Alliance, representing the Eastern Universe."
Upon hearing these three names, the brains of the two guards defending the star gate buzzed as if they were about to explode on the spot!
"Cosmic Venerable!"
On the plaza, many at the Stellar Level were confused; they had no idea what the title Cosmic Venerable signified.
However, the three kings, who were at the Domain Lord Level, knew.
Their reaction was remarkably swift; they immediately knelt on the ground, pressing their heads tightly against it.
The three said in unison, "Lord Venerable!"
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. The Domain Lord Level experts were actually kneeling before these three people!?
Venerable Chi Tian chuckled, waved his hand, and swept all the Stellar Level individuals present into the star gate to participate in the trial.
The three kings were also sent a hundred light-years away by this Cosmic Venerable.
He laughed softly, "This old man still understands a bit of the Spatial Law."
Venerable Xuan Ming laughingly cursed, "Old fellow, go cool off somewhere else."
Venerable Bai Hua looked at He Ming and spoke softly: "I specialize in the Yin-Yang Law, and I have mastered the Spatial Law to sixty-five percent. I have no disciples, so if you join me, you will be my closing disciple."
"Venerable Xuan Ming specializes in the Spatial Law and has nearly a thousand disciples. Although he is suitable for you, the cultivation resources you would receive will not be much."
"What is your choice..."
On one side was the most suitable Spatial Law, and on the other was a massive amount of cultivation resources.
But for He Ming, both were of little consequence to him; he simply didn't want to offend either side.
He Ming first bowed deeply to the three Venerables, then looked up and said, "Can I choose both?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Chi Tian shook his head and laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, interesting. Why don't you choose all three? I specialize in the Reincarnation Law. In terms of combat power, even if these two joined forces, they might not be my match."
The corner of Venerable Xuan Ming's mouth twitched.
Choosing both—wanting it all.
Although it seemed greedy, it would not offend either party.
Stuck between the three, making an immediate choice was difficult to even contemplate.
Venerable Bai Hua did not speak, seemingly acquiescing to this option.
She hadn't held much hope to begin with, because given the proficiency in the Spatial Law that He Ming had displayed, joining Venerable Xuan Ming's sect was the most correct decision.
Furthermore, their temperaments were exceptionally compatible.
Venerable Xuan Ming pondered carefully and actually found this proposal quite interesting.
But if all three were to train him together, they had to establish a hierarchy.
"This proposal is acceptable, but the hierarchy must be clearly defined."
Venerable Bai Hua snorted coldly.
"Naturally, there must be a hierarchy, but it also depends on which law he is truly suited for."
Venerable Chi Tian chimed in, "Well said. If this little guy is most suited for cultivating the Reincarnation Law, then you two can only hold the status of nominal masters."
Venerable Xuan Ming: "That should be the case."
Seeing that the three Cosmic Venerables had reached a decision, He Ming immediately knelt on the ground and performed the master-disciple kowtow.
"Three Masters."
Venerable Chi Tian was the happiest, as he had only come to make up the numbers and try his luck. He hadn't expected to actually strike gold; although He Ming would be a disciple of all three Cosmic Venerables, it was still better than getting nothing at all.
In his view, He Ming being able to comprehend domain-level Spatial Law just after stepping into the Domain Lord Level meant that if he switched to cultivating the Reincarnation Law, it was not impossible for him to achieve the Great Dao.
"Three Masters, I still need to handle some matters here in the Milky Way Galaxy."
Venerable Chi Tian pulled a bead glowing with a water-blue luster from his robes and tossed it to He Ming.
"This is the Dingyuan Bead. Once you have handled your trivial matters, you only need to inject Star Power into it to open the induction channel."
"We won't stay any longer. We are leaving."
Venerable Xuan Ming stomped his right foot on the ground, and a spatial rift suddenly opened behind him. As if showing off, he said, "Little guy, the Spatial Law is still the most suitable for you. Once you have mastered seventy or eighty percent of it, you will be able to move hundreds of millions of light-years in an instant, just like me."
He Ming bowed again.
When he raised his head, the three Cosmic Venerables had already disappeared without a trace.
He sat down on the ground with a thud and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Finally, I've sent them off."
Wan Xingying felt the pressure on her body lift, and her legs trembled involuntarily, but her eyes were filled with yearning.
"Is this, is this what a Cosmic Venerable is!"
He Ming turned his head to look at Wan Xingying: "No need to be envious; sooner or later, you will also reach this realm one day."
Wan Xingying hurriedly shook her head: "Stop teasing me. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even have been able to break through to the Domain Lord Level."
He Ming didn't say anything more. As it stood, although the Cosmic Venerable realm was still very far away from him, as long as he was given enough time, he would reach it sooner or later.
Even helping Wan Xingying ascend to the Universe Venerable level was not entirely impossible.
Because the use of omniscience depended entirely on the individual.
When an individual's mastered abilities and resources reached a certain height, they would be omniscient and omnipotent; there would be nothing they could not accomplish.
The distance to the finish line only required action.
Wan Xingying was an outstanding manager. He Ming believed that she would eventually become a capable partner who would help him manage the territories he conquered.
"You should all return to your respective galaxies first and wait for instructions from above."
"If all goes as expected, you will replace the three great empire rulers and become the new masters of the Milky Way Galaxy."
Wan Xingying's eyes lit up. This step was something she had dreamed of; she hadn't expected it to be realized so soon!
Her background was not good; she had climbed up step by step from the very bottom.
Therefore, she understood the suffering of the common people at the bottom very well.
Before Wan Xingying's father passed away, he had repeatedly warned her that if she ever became someone of high status, she must treat the people at the very bottom well.
She had always kept her father's words in her heart and had always been striving for this goal.
Haina and Sanchis finally reacted.
That's right, they had already ascended to the Domain Lord Level and could become Lords of the Star Domain!
"Haina, can we also become Lords of the Star Domain?"
"Sanchis, I understand exactly how you feel right now!"
The two were quick to react and bowed deeply to He Ming.
Haina looked at Wan Xingying, his demeanor respectful: "Sister-in-law, from now on, we will all listen to you!"
He Ming nodded slightly, very satisfied with Haina's quick-wittedness.
