Chapter 145 Inauguration Ceremony! 2

The scenery of trillions of cultivators, all willingly prostrating themselves in one direction, can only be described as heart-pulsating and blood-pumping; even the beasts and plants also bowed. Such a terrifying scene caused countless cultivators to feel an extremely high adrenaline rush, causing them to experience massive goosebumps. Some of the prostrating cultivators turned their heads sideways and exchanged gazes as they saw each other's expressions of shock and disbelief; they could even see hints of fear and panic as they instinctively developed great fear and dread for this being known as the One Above.

Even the Saint Ancestors, including the Overlords, weren't an exception; they also bowed and prostrated like the masses. They couldn't maintain their impassive faces anymore, especially for the North Overlord; he could even see as his bodily hair rose like an animal instinctually reacting when sensing the presence of an apex predator. This was the sensation most of the top ancient powers and experts felt as they unknowingly developed instinctual defensive mechanisms, which were never to offend such a terrifying being and avoid him at all costs.

The scene was extremely silent despite there being trillions of cultivators. But then,

TREMBLE!

The entire realm intensely trembled, the surrounding Qi heavily distorted as it cleared a particular area in the space, as if unworthy of being there. Then, Patrick, Athena, Anna, and Thalia hovered in the Qi-cleared space as their presence instantly calmed the space trembling and Qi distortions. The scene again went completely silent as Patrick, and his three wives hovered over the trillions of cultivators like the Gods they were. Raleigh hovered below them while kneeling in his signature pose.

Patrick wore a long black robe with a green cape attached to the shoulders; he had high-top black boots and black pants; his absolute omniversal void watch and ten rings of omnivastance were now emerald-colored. Athena, Anna, and Thalia wore long white godly dresses with sprinkles of emerald glittering on them like the starry sky; although wearing the same colors, the three Omni Queens had different designs. Nevertheless, all three ladies were equally matched in beauty.

Raleigh wore a black long sleeve cultivation robe with arm braces.

The current scene can only be described as majestic as the trillions of cultivators prostrated before Patrick and his Omni Queens like the Gods they were.

Patrick had an unreactive expression as he stared at the trillions of cultivators; seeing the prostrating cultivators below didn't even faze him; it was the same for the Omni Queens.

Patrick nodded slightly, acknowledging the cultivators; he then gestured with his right hand as he signaled the rise. Then, the trillions of cultivators, beasts, and even plants stood upright. The cultivators stood as they saw the terrifying being who exterminated seven ancient families, the One Above. Seeing Patrick left all of the cultivators speechless and paralyzed; not only was it their first time seeing a God, but to think this being was this young yet powerful. Truly disheartening.

Most ancient power groups couldn't help but sigh with defeat upon seeing Patrick. The One Above is so powerful that he challenged and defeated the strongest seven out of the twelve ancient families in the Immortal Realm, and he completed that in a day; that's not a feat even the Immortal Gate would dare boast of accomplishing. And what's even more demoralizing is that there are three other beings like the One Above, meaning there are four extremely powerful god-like beings capable of destroying the Immortal Realm. Such a realization was like laying a mountain on the cultivators' hearts.

'... So, he is the One Above~ how depressing, we have been cultivating for millions of Immortal cycles, yet we are still Saint Ancestors, but here is someone who is far more powerful than us, yet he looks like a lad, and even worse, there are more of him. Sigh~.'

'No wonder Fengian Xu chose to serve him; look at the Athos Realm; unlimited pure Qi, suits that can injure, or even perhaps kill Saint Ancestors, can create a portal gate far bigger than the space crack of the Desolate Realm itself, I mean, everything here is reality-defying. Just by being here and I can feel my cultivation base stabilizing again. Just who is this One Above!?'

'...'

The fat Overlord and the masked Overlord exchanged thoughts as they stared at Patrick. The North Overlord remained silent. But all three Overlords had respectable faces while staring at Patrick; even they couldn't help but admit their shortcomings.

This thinking was the same for almost every cultivator, but one thing they had in common was that the One Above didn't disappoint their expectations; on the contrary, he exceeded them by far. His appearance, attitude, ambiance, character, and presence alone portrayed him as the God he was. Coupled with the infinitely beautiful beauties beside him, the One Above was perfect. Suddenly, Patrick began speaking.

"You've all done yourself a lifetime of great service by coming, and I believe Athos has compensated you enough with its resources and knowledge. But today, you have been fortunate enough to witness the annunciation of Athos. So, I, the One Above, henceforth declare Athos the leading realm of this cultivation universe; all other realms shall be beneath Athos."

"All Hail the decree of the One Above!"

"All Hail!"

Patrick finished his sentence as soon after, fairy Marine chanted while placing a palm over the other, knelt, and bowed her head towards him; simultaneously, the Athosians citizens enthusiastically followed their god fairy as they also knelt, bowed, and chanted 'All hail!' to after fairy Marine.

The visiting cultivators had baffled expressions as they listened to Patrick's words. Unlike fairy Marine and the Athosian citizens, they didn't kneel, or more to say; the badges didn't make them kneel since they weren't Athosian citizens. But the words of the One Above made the cultivators have confused faces.

"...?! Sister, you seem to be versed in philosophical synonyms. Do you perhaps know what he said? What does mean by 'leading realm'? It's as if a god declaring the rules of their creation."

The Head Manager internally exclaimed to his sister, as even he couldn't understand what Patrick meant. But contrary to his expectations, he turned left only to find his sister's face still shocked and baffled. With a frown, he asked.

"Is everything alright, little sister? You seem too shocked."

"..., brother, didn't you feel that just now?"

"Feel what? Do you mean the rising pace of my heartbeat a while back? then yes-

No! When he finished speaking, the entire universe trembled as if heeding his command. This may be because I have the Life Law, but I felt the principles of my Life Law change suddenly. Is he a god?"

In another branch city, the leader of the seven Dao children had a confused and worried expression as he stared at the massive hologram realistically showing Patrick. He had widened eyes and frowning brows as he murmured.

"This! He... he isn't the system administrator? Could he perhaps be the God Master System?!"
