Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6871

Chapter 6780: Governing the Country with Benevolence

“Here.”

An Ning handed Li Tianming the final Imperial Puppet Army Command, saying, “This is almost all the Imperial Puppets in the Dark Star Maze. Apart from a few Stardust Guards lost, there are still four hundred Shadow Star Patrolmen and two thousand Stardust Guards left.”

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow, took the Imperial Puppet Army Command, and felt a surge of excitement. He no longer needed to use his pitiful few dozen Imperial Puppets to explore the Dark Star Maze.

“I’ve never fought such a rich battle in the Young Emperor Tower.” Li Tianming smirked.

Boom!!

Crack crack crack!

Under Li Tianming’s command, the Imperial Puppet army sprang into action. The two thousand Stardust Guards, their dark blue bodies shimmering with starlight, seemed to form a sea of stars. The Shadow Star Patrolmen, their forms concealed, scouted ahead.

Li Tianming glanced down and saw that the Imperial Puppet Army Command had nearly half of the field of vision already covered. “It seems the Imperial Puppet Army Command has merged with the Imperial Puppet Army, and the field of vision it gains will also merge. In that case, I just need to continue exploring the remaining corners.”

“Continue forward and explore the remaining blind spots!”

With a massive number of Imperial Puppets, the exploration speed increased dozens of times. Apart from the normal loss of some Imperial Puppets, there were no other unexpected incidents.

Soon, a strange spherical space appeared before him. It was empty and completely different from the rest of the Dark Star Maze.

“This is the gravitational equilibrium point within the Death Line Source. It is the only pure land in the Gravity Maze that is not affected by gravitational turbulence, spatial rifts, etc.” Aurora said.

“Quite amazing.” Li Tianming exclaimed.

Without the annoying gravity traps and other such things, their movement speed was very fast.

Soon, the group arrived at the very center of the space.

Thump… thump…

Here, a giant heart similar to the core of the first level of the Young Emperor Tower was slowly beating, with a length and width of several hundred meters.

The heart, predominantly white, had colorful light swirling merrily across its surface like swimming fish, adding an extra layer of mystique compared to the first level of the Young Emperor’s Tower.

Li Tianming waved to the women, saying, “I’ll go in first, wait until I finish receiving the inheritance.”

He reached out and expertly touched the surface of the tower’s heart. A

ripple

slowly spread from within.

Li Tianming’s soul left his body and entered the tower.

A flash of light appeared before him, and he instantly arrived in the world at the tower’s heart.

Here, most of the world was still white, but upon closer inspection, the pupils of the deer, rabbits, and other small animals had acquired color.

“This is…”

Directly in front of Li Tianming were rows of thatched huts, inside which seemed to be some figures moving about, brewing tea, playing chess—of course, all the items were white.

After Li Tianming arrived in this world, these figures seemed to sense his presence, stopping their activities and gathering together.

Li Tianming quickly walked towards this ‘thatched hut village.’

The figures whispered among themselves.

“White hair, golden-black eyes… Could this be the prodigy Li Batian mentioned?”

“It shouldn’t be wrong. Such distinctive features are hard to find.”

“How did he reach the second level so quickly? Is his breakthrough speed really that fast?”

“Which of us should give him a lecture later… We must arrange the most suitable ones, don’t waste time.”

“How many of the deeper Daos will he be able to digest this time?”

In this place unaffected by the Death Line Source, Li Tianming could clearly hear the undisguised conversation on the other side.

“The light and shadow on different levels can actually exchange information,” Li Tianming thought with surprise.

It seemed he had become a celebrity among the ancestral light and shadow of the Young Emperor Tower.

These ancestors, though seemingly living in thatched huts and close to everyday life, were releasing a pressure that showed no mercy to Li Tianming.

This was actually a small test of the Tower’s core; those with weak wills, even if they luckily found the Tower’s core, would not be able to accept the Emperor’s inheritance.

Li Tianming’s steps toward the “thatched-roof village” grew heavier and heavier, his whole body trembling as if every primordial divine seed was roaring.

“Mere pressure cannot stop my Emperor Primordial Dao!”

He refused to back down, even beginning to resist with his own Emperor Primordial Dao!

With the Emperor Primordial Dao unleashed, his figure gradually became lighter, approaching the ancestral figures of the Heavenly Emperor Sect with even greater speed.

After all, enduring the pressure here was meaningless for honing his cultivation; only receiving the ‘Emperor’s Inheritance’ mattered. There was no need to suffer unnecessarily.

“His actions undoubtedly put his future in danger. If his Great Dao cannot withstand our pressure and collapses, he will likely fall directly below the Primordial God of the Universe, with no hope of ever climbing back up.”

“His willingness to do this shows his unwavering commitment to his Great Dao. If one doesn’t even believe in their own Great Dao, how can they climb to the peak?” “

Only by firmly believing in one’s own Great Dao can one bravely climb to the peak and remain unmoved by external forces!”

“This young man is indeed adept at defying convention!”

Li Tianming, unaware of the thoughts of these figures, resisted the pressure with his Imperial Primordial Great Dao and persevered until he reached the figures of the ancestors. He clasped his hands in a respectful yet humble manner and said, “Junior Li Tianming has passed the second trial of the Young Emperor Tower. Please, ancestors, guide me on the path of the Emperor!”

A long-browed, long-bearded, and seemingly venerable old man emerged from the figures.

Like the small animals in the inner world of the tower, these figures also possessed colored eyes.

The old man approached Li Tianming, his golden pupils radiating imperial majesty.

Li Tianming met his gaze directly without fear.

He spoke with a booming voice, “I am the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Li Huai Ren, whose divine body has reached a height of three light-years, cultivating the Way of Benevolence! Throughout my life, I have delved into the principles of benevolence, determined to apply them to the way of governance, and ultimately achieved good results!”

“Li Tianming, I have heard of your deeds on the first level. My Way is incredibly profound, extremely difficult to learn. Would you be willing to try learning my Way of Benevolence?”

Li Tianming resolutely replied, “Please enlighten me.” Li

Huaiyi extended his right hand, slightly raising his palm, and the scene around Li Tianming changed.

At this moment, he arrived in a chaotic star system, where countless forces were fighting, never ceasing, never reaching a conclusion, forever divided.

Until a young man, presumably a younger version of Li Huaiyi, rose from a corner of the world with his followers.

They fought their way through, recruiting every opponent into their ranks.

These people, who once only had tyranny and ferocity in their eyes, now possessed pity—pity for the suffering of all living beings—after joining Zhang Huaiyi’s ranks!

Watching all this, Li Tianming suddenly heard Li Huaiyi’s voice in his ears:

“My imperial way is to govern the country with benevolence and virtue. My character is respected, and I will naturally gain followers.”
