GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS

The ancient Gong descendant hovered above Patrick and the clustered cultivators as he emitted ominous energy, his eyes displaying cold expressions as they stared at the cultivators below. Gnashing his teeth with a disgruntled expression, the Gong descendant asked his question in a slow and heavy tone, 'WHO ARE YOU.' But after asking his question, the surrounding cultivators didn't react the slightest, and the person he asked stood, surrounded by thousands of cultivators as if they were protecting him, this silver-haired man looking directly at him as he had a smirk on his face.

'Who is this person? Is he someone sent by the other princes to humiliate me? No. Those arrogant bastards won't even think of a backwater location like this, let alone send their dogs here. But this person could see through my plan with a glance, redirecting the attention to me and making me the bad guy. Could he also be a descendant of an ancient powerhouse? Although I can easily kill these ants, I wouldn't want to initiate a conflict with an ancient power over some arrogant words; I will ignore his provocation. I'm still in war with other princes for the crown prince position.'

The Gong descendant thought as he stared at Patrick, he was a rational and intelligent individual, or else his title as someone from an ancient family will be a joke. He recalculated his plans as the next moment; he retracted his killing aura; his cold and murderous expression slowly changed to that of calm and collective. Dropping the broken fan in his hand, the Gong descendant slightly descended in the air as he spoke after.

"I didn't know someone with such wisdom resided in such locations; nevertheless, that was quite an impressive speech. It is, indeed, rude of me to issue a bounty on someone when there isn't any actual crime committed, but since some fellow cultivators had sided with you, I wouldn't want to cause a massacre over mere words; right? Due to my benevolence, I will overlook your stupid actions, but I hope you learn that there are certain people you can't offend, that includes me. Well then, I hope you learned something today."

The Gong descendant spoke as he immediately nullified the situation as if him pardoning Patrick and forgetting the confrontations; he then turned towards the direction leading to the deeper areas of the dimension. But just when the party was about to disappear into the distance, they were interrupted by the silver-haired Patrick speaking.

"Did I authorize you to leave?"

SILENCE!

Silence filled the surroundings as every cultivator at the scene stared at one individual like looking at a crazy person; some of the cultivators who previously gathered around Patrick began slowly retreating their steps, moving away from Patrick. Some sheathed their weapons and lost their fearless expressions as they paced away from Patrick, trying not to be associated with this crazy person. A green sword hovered in the distant space; an eye could be seen on the green sword as if someone spectating the scene. Within the deeper locations of the dimension, the Spiral Sword Celestial stopped mid-flight when he saw the scene through his sword as he expressed shocking emotions; he then exclaimed, "Hmm?!"

The thousands of cultivators at the scene had similar reactions as they distanced themselves from Patrick. Some cultivators in the distance stared at Patrick as they thought.

'Is he crazy? Although his speech earlier saved him the first time, why would he ruin his luck like that? Doesn't he know who the ancient families are and how wide their powers spread? I thought he was wise, but he was only acting.'

VOOM! TREMBLE!

The next instant, trembling sounds reverberated in the surroundings as they caused the dimension of the infinite treasures mountain to vibrate intensely. The surrounding cultivators felt their bodies heavily smashing into the ground, as some even died due to the massive release of Qi pressure coming from the escorts of the Gong descendant. In the sky above Patrick, the one hundred entourage of the Gong descendant unleashed their Qi's in chaotic manners as it caused the instant deaths of some cultivators while others lay restrained, flat on the ground, without the strength to lift a finger. Their bodies radiated with Qi of the Star Entity realm. Once one becomes a Star Entity, they can access 100% of their cultivated laws, but because of their souls only being in Star Entities, the cultivators can't control the laws, except borrowing law energy from it. And these one hundred entourage of the Gong descendant, who were all in the Star Entity realm, were unleashing their full powers on Celestial Emperors, the outcome of the surrounding cultivators instantly dying or smashing to the ground is only reasonable.

The Gong descendant had an extremely dark expression, but unlike his subordinates, his body didn't burst with raging Qi or energy; he only floated in the space and allowed his subordinates to unleash their full strengths. The Gong descendant looked below with an extremely murdering gaze as he saw the thousands of cultivators either pinned down or lay dead on the ground, but among the thousands of pinned-down cultivators, one person remained standing, and that was the silver-haired man. The one hundred subordinates of the Gong descendant also saw the standing silver-haired person, but instead of acting surprised that this man could withstand the full pressure of one hundred Star Entities, they slowly began activating their cultivated laws and techniques as they gazed at Patrick with killing auras.

Patrick stood on the ground as he stared at the Gong descendant and his one hundred underlings unleashing their Star Entity pressures unrestrainedly. He didn't bother with the surrounding pinned-down cultivators; he still maintained his bored and unimpressed expression as he stared at the Gong party like looking at boring entertainers, with Grace displaying the information of the Gong descendant and his party of hundred at the same time.

[Name: Gong Tieshan (Clone)]

[Age: 25]

[Cultivation Power: Star Celestial second-stage (Hidden) Star Entity eighth-stage (Current)]

[Cultivated Law: Law of Domination and Restraint; Dominate your enemies by restraining any important aspect of their existence, it can be oxygen, Qi, strength, and many more]

[Cultivation Technique: Ancient heaven turtle art; Can use the power of the ancient divine beast to suppress all those below you in power, the stronger you are, the more suppressing power unleashed, creates a shield which protects the user against cultivation realms five stages higher]

[History; As the eighth prince out of the twelve princes of the Ancient Gong family, Gong Tieshan has been the least focused on because his brothers displayed talents higher than his; but after awakening, the Law of domination and restraint, his position within the ancient Gong family was elevated, making him a candidate for the crown prince position, .....]

[Ancient Subordinates; A group of one hundred Star Entity ninth-stage cultivators assigned to protect the descendants of the ancient Gong family, they must endure one hundred years of pain and torture to show their loyalty before getting assigned, must kill themselves if it meant protecting the Gong descendants, and they must all cultivate the Law of protection]

[Law of protection; Using the universal Law of protection to suppress or exterminate anything to protect your desired subject, the higher the cultivation, the more power borrowed]

Patrick stood as Grace read the information of the Gong party to him; he then stared at Gong Tieshan and spoke.

"A clone, huh?"

Upon hearing Patrick's words, the hovering party exclaimed with shocked expressions as they gazed at Patrick. The next instant, the one hundred subordinates flashed as they surrounded Patrick, their killing auras radiating as it caused the surrounding space to tremble even more intensely; Gong Tieshan floated with a frowning countenance as he tried to see through Patrick, disappointingly, he couldn't perceive anything. He floated in the air, not far from Patrick as he spoke, his voice filled with seriousness.

"Are you an assassin sent by the other princes?" 'I acquired this cloning technique from the star commerce alliance under secret measures; not even father could have guessed this is a clone, but this person had seen through me twice now, I can't let him leave here alive; whether he's from an ancient background or not.'

"You can think whatever you like, but know that your clone won't be leaving here today; the same goes for your dogs."

Patrick spoke while looking at the one hundred subordinates. The Gong descendant stared at Patrick with a cold and murdering expression as he spoke.

"I don't see a reason leaving you alive either. Attack!"

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Boom!

Instantly, the one hundred black-hooded men sent countless Qi attacks at Patrick. But their attacks didn't reach their intended target; instead, they landed on the ground as it caused a booming sound, leaving a deep crater. Seeing that the target dodged their attacks, the one hundred hooded men immediately scanned for Patrick; but then, Patrick's voice echoed from behind them.

"I'm right here, you slow cunts." Boom!

Patrick spoke from behind a clustered group, but before they could even react, he heavily impaled his right foot, black leather booth into the head of one subordinate, the kick attack instantly blasting the head of the subordinate as his headless body was sent crashing down the earth, causing a booming sound after.

"One down, ninety-nine deaths remaining."

Seeing one of their comrades getting killed so easily, the remaining ninety-nine black-hooded men became cautious; again, they quickly circled Patrick, equipped with multiple high-grade weapons as they pointed them at the floating Patrick. Patrick hovered in the space surrounded by the ninety-nine floating black-hooded men, hands in his coat pockets as he directly stared at Gong Tieshan, not showing any concerning emotion whatsoever about him being surrounded. He then spoke as his next action left Gong Tieshan speechless.

"This fight is meaningless."

[Passive Nature: Godly Presence; Unconscious release of the weakest energy]

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The next instant, the ninety-nine black-hooded ancient subordinates burst as their exploding bodies caused splashing sounds. Their high-graded weapons and black hoods, covered in blood falling to the ground after, as they made clinging noises. Gong Tieshan hovered in the space, speechless, but his expression wasn't of shock or bewilderment; instead, he confidently looked up at Patrick as he spoke.

"Turns out, you are from a powerful background, or, at least, someone with strong backing. And my miscalculation has led to the death of one hundred pawns; how tragic. But you will have to join them; I have more important business to handle. Law of restraint, Qi deprivation."

Gong Tieshan spoke as he pointed his left index finger at the hovering Patrick; activating his cultivated Law, as it caused the Qi within the infinite treasures mountain to swirl towards his direction, but just when he thought he would be restraining Patrick's Qi, Patrick presence shifted himself as he hovered before Gong Tieshan in the next unimaginable instant. He gripped the neck of Gong Tieshan with his right hand as he spoke.

"Did you, for a second, think I was about to fight a clone?"

"You- How?-" Gong Tieshan struggled as Patrick firmly gripped his throat, making it harder for him to speak.

"I won't be killing the real Gong Tieshan now; that's because it will make my adventure too boring. Stay in your countless myriad domain, and enjoy your last days while you can; the same goes for your ancient Gong family."

Patrick firmly held Gong Tieshan by the throat as he raised him in the air while speaking with a cold expression; Gong Tieshan struggled as he held Patrick's arm, trying to free himself from the tight grip. He was about to open his mouth to speak when his head got blasted from his shoulders the next instant. SPLUT! Patrick used his left middle finger as he flicked it at Gong Tieshan's head, blasting it from his shoulders; blood sprayed from Gong Tieshan's headless body, but Patrick let go of the body before the blood could spray on him.

Boom! A less noisy boom echoed as the headless body of Gong Tieshan landed on the earth.

Silence!

Silence permeated the surroundings as one could even hear a pin drop; the surviving cultivators laying flat on the ground couldn't even let out a squeak due to the unbelievable scene they had just witnessed. While some lay almost at the brink of death, the others looked up at the silver-haired Patrick as they shivered in trepidation.

'This is the man we were about to face? He killed one hundred Star Entities, plus their leader, who was far stronger than them in less than a minute. But the shocking thing isn't the deaths, but the people that died. These people were from the Ancient Gong family, one of the nine ancient families that oversee the countless myriad domains; no one would ever dare challenge them. Let alone kill them. But this man, not only did he kill people from an ancient family, he even killed a descendant, which is a crime, far worse than even massacring a region or sect. What a crazy person.'

These were the thoughts of the nearby surviving cultivators as they tried not to meet their eyes with Patrick. But then, they saw the silver-haired Patrick looking at them as some cultivators immediately looked away, sweat dripping from their foreheads as they hoped it wasn't their turn to die. But Patrick's words left the cultivators sighing with relief.

"I won't kill you; consider it my reward for being reasonable earlier."

Hovering in the space, Patrick spoke with a cold expression as his voice caused fear in the hearts of the surrounding cultivators. He then vanished into the direction leading to the core area of the infinite treasures mountain.
