Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6776

: Show loyalty to Brother Tianming!

The Bone-Winged Ghosts twitched on the spot, turning to look at Li Tianming.

Seeing his name on the Imperial Order, they hurriedly exclaimed, “Li Tianjiao, that’s really unnecessary, isn’t it? We’re desperate, and we’re going to strike back at our last moment. Even with several Eighth-Rank Primordial Cosmic Gods, you won’t be able to gain any advantage.”

Li Tianming didn’t answer them, but instead looked at Ling Ling, Zhao Yan, and the rest of the Star Realm Clan.

His eyes remained cold, but the murderous intent they had previously held was gone.

Ling Ling, Zhao Yan, and the others watched him nervously, their emotions mixed.

Out of the wolf’s den, only to find themselves in the tiger’s den again?

They wondered how this more powerful and mysterious figure would treat them.

Li Tianming spoke, his voice steady and cold, carrying unquestionable authority:

“I’ll take your Imperial Orders. However, I also want to ask you: are you willing to follow me?”

Ling Ling, Zhao Yan, and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But the Bone Winged Deities were a bit bewildered, seemingly unable to believe their own ears. One of them, Lei Zha, glared and pointed at him, demanding, “Li Tianjiao, do we even have the right to challenge you?”

“Why not? Do I have a grudge against you?” Li Tianming asked.

“That’s true, but it seems Lei Qing doesn’t either…”

“He’s the strongest, he deserves it,” Li Tianming said with a smile. “So what’s your answer? Let me make it clear: if you don’t want to, you can just leave. Just leave the Emperor’s Order. I’ll give everyone an equal chance.”

“I, let’s think about it!”

Lei Zha gritted his teeth, carefully observing Li Tianming and discussing it privately with his companions.

Li Tianming’s gaze swept across the various Star Realm Clan faces.

They clearly hadn’t expected that by killing Lei Qing, Li Tianming would give the remaining Bone Nether Galaxy Deities another chance.

Isn’t that a hero saving a beautiful woman?

If a hero saved a beautiful woman, they should have violently killed all these Deities.

While they harbored no direct hatred for the remaining geniuses of the Bone Nether Galaxy, the two galaxies shared a historical grudge. So, surely being forced together would be uncomfortable?

This was their psychological dynamic.

“Everyone. First, surrender the Imperial Order. As for following me, it’s up to you. I won’t force you to follow me. The choice is yours.”

His gaze swept over Ling Ling and Zhao Wei. “If you choose to follow me and assist me when I need you, I can provide you with shelter. If you perform well, I’ll also grant you resources like the Sumeru Ring.” “

Also, as far as I know, although you’ve lost your Imperial Orders, you’re still a resource in this testing ground. There will always be those who desire your support. If you refuse, you risk death.”

No false compliments, no empty promises.

Li Tianming’s direct rules of exchanging interests and respecting strength seemed crystal clear at this moment.

A momentary silence fell.

Zhao Wei reacted the fastest!

Almost as soon as Li Tianming finished speaking, his face was filled with gratitude and awe. Without hesitation, he pulled out his own imperial decree, stepped forward, and respectfully presented it with both hands.

“Brother Tianming! I, Zhao Wei, am truly convinced! I will follow you, sir, through fire and water, without hesitation! Please accept this imperial decree.”

His tone was excited, his expression sincere, as if he had met his adopted parents. His acting was impeccable.

However, deep within his lowered eyes, a deep calculation was hidden: “This man is stronger than Lei Qing, far more than a fool like Lei Qing. Let’s follow him for now, to stay safe. If he can’t hold his ground, perhaps there’s still a chance…”

Li Tianming glanced at Zhao Wei, took the imperial decree, and said nothing.

He had witnessed this kind of overly enthusiastic surrender many times.

At this moment, Ling Ling seemed to recover from the huge shock and decision she had faced.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and discomfort from her injuries, and stepped forward, pulled out her own imperial decree, and presented it with both hands.

“Ling Ling, thank you for your help,” she said clearly, her voice weak but steady. “You are powerful, but not one to kill without reason. I… I am willing to follow you. I present the Imperial Order, and I will obey your orders.”

She sensed that this man, though cold, was principled and far more reliable than someone like Lei Qing.

Aside from them, the other Star Realm Clan members hesitated for a moment, and three of them chose to leave. Two who had a good relationship with Ling Ling chose to follow Li Tianming.

Of course, they were just following now; who knew if they would recommend him after they left?

There were many tricks involved.

At the very least, Li Tianming had secured all the Imperial Orders.

Currently, he had four followers.

Li Tianming then turned to Lei Zha and the others.

At that moment, Lei Zha and the other spirits lined up in front of Li Tianming, saying, “Li Tianjiao, we all want to follow you.”

“Are you sure?” Li Tianming was surprised. He had already killed Lei Qing, but he hadn’t expected him to be his subordinate, with so many of them joining him.

“Sure!” Lei Zha looked at him. “We can sense that you’re smarter and stronger than Lei Qing. And you could have killed us, but you spared us.”

“Then you’re welcome.”

Li Tianming smiled.

Zhao Yan joined in.

Ling Ling naturally found the company of these demons and gods somewhat unaccustomed, but thinking of the many likes of Lei Qing in the Desolate Realm galaxy, she could only endure it.

Most importantly, she sensed in Li Tianming the commanding power of a natural emperor.

This charisma was innate.

And then, Li Tianming summoned them together.

“Follow me, yes.”

His gaze swept over them, lingering for a fleeting moment on Zhao Yan’s face. “Remember two things.”

“First, follow my orders. My orders are unquestionable.” “

Second, control your thoughts. I have no tolerance for injustice.”

His voice suddenly turned cold, and a sense of oppression, even more chilling than when he faced Lei Qing, flashed across his face.

“Otherwise, Lei Qing will suffer the same fate.”

Yes, he gave it. The power was also established.

Ling Ling’s heart trembled, and she bowed her head solemnly: “Understood.”

Zhao Wei’s heart was pounding, and he quickly lowered his head even lower, saying repeatedly: “I dare not! I absolutely dare not! Zhao Wei will be loyal to Brother Tianming!”

Everyone else nodded.

“Follow me!”

Li Tianming said no more.

He cast his gaze deeper into the desolate galaxy, where faint, distant fluctuations could be heard, evidently indicating numerous battles.

The assessment had only just begun.

Around him, the first group of people gathered. Some were sincere and potentially useful, while others were feigned, harboring sinister intentions.

But it mattered little.

“In the face of absolute power, all calculations are but the clown’s farce. If sincerity proves useful, use it. If pretense backfires, crush it.”

This was his way.

“The way of the Emperor begins with the smallest details and rests on the heart. Those who obey me may not prosper. Those who defy me will surely perish.”

He led the way, cold and resolute.

Thus, a small, complex group, each with its own agenda, was formed, merging into this cruel and vast field of assessment.
