Chapter - 1

Several beings have gathered on the guardian planet of the universe. These creatures consist of humans, soul beasts, and also rules. The gathering of these creatures to conduct a trial related to the actions of the rules that discriminate against soul beasts.

The actions taken by these rules include unilaterally killing soul beasts living on planets left by the rules and using their authority to suppress soul beasts in the lower realms to rise to a higher level. This sparked the anger of the Guardians of the Universe after one of the representatives of the soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, conveyed this news to Rey as the Guardian of the Universe.

Knowing the news, Rey immediately summoned all the rules, humans who were directly subordinate to rules in the lower realms, as well as several soul beast representatives to conduct the trial. At the time of the trial, the representative of the soul beast, Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena immediately conveyed all his complaints regarding the treatment of the rules to their kind.

There are no rules that dare to speak. Because at this moment they knew that they couldn't hide it because even if they could cover it up. Rey as the Guardian of the Universe can use his authority to get that information. Humans who are subordinate to the rules can also only be silent after seeing their superiors, namely the rules do not dare to say a single word.

rules ' faces immediately became extremely ugly after the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena finished all her complaints. The soul beast representatives had very happy faces after hearing that all their complaints had been conveyed and only needed to wait for the witnesses the rules got. Unlike the rules and soul beasts, the humans who took part in this trial only watched the entire incident.

Their participation in this congregation also had some influence.

"Is that really what the soul beast representative, Ashura explained?" Finished listening to the complaints conveyed by the soul beasts, Rey's gaze stared at the rules as her eyes narrowed coldly.

No one dared to answer the question. Even the rule named Ashura didn't dare to answer the question because the explanation given by the Silver Dragon King's soul beast representative Gu Yuena was the truth.

"You really let me down." Rey's tone was very cold, "You seem too proud of the power you have. Is it because of that you have considered yourself better than the other party? Carry out massacres of soul beasts who wish to gain their rights and use arbitrary authority to forbid soul beasts from ascending to a higher realm. You guys are so greedy!"

A strong pressure suddenly came out of Rey's body which was directly directed at all the rules. Nothing can withstand the pressure. All the rules were immediately suppressed with cold sweat washing all over their bodies. The humans who were under them instantly became extremely worried, however, none of them dared to interfere in this matter. For fear of the consequences they will receive.

In contrast to the worried human face and the rules are full of fear. The soul beast representatives smiled happily and relieved to see the rules being scolded by the Guardians of the Universe.

"Which of you was not involved in this incident? Please get out of line." Even if the rules are guilty of the wrong they've done. There are some rules that do not participate in the actions that have passed. Those people still have the pardon obtained from the Guardians of the Universe.

The pressure that was released by Rey was again removed so that the innocent rules could get out of their ranks. The rules tried to regain their breath after feeling the feeling of pressure wear off. However, their bodies couldn't lie because until now every rule 's body was shaking with fear.

"Come on. Please step out of the ranks of the rules that are not taking part in these actions."

Several rules started walking out of line and standing right in front of Rey while their bodies were already drenched in cold sweat as their bodies trembled with fear.

"150, huh? I want you to be honest. Did you guys really not participate in the actions that were perpetrated on those soul beasts?" Rey's tone was very calm as she stared at the rules.

"M-my lord. Honest. I did not participate in the action. I've just become a rule and I just found out about this action at this trial." A female rules woman ventured to answer the question.

"Just like the nine color rule, my lord. I also did not participate in the participation. Because my time as a rule is the same as when I was a nine-color rule." A male rule also ventured to answer questions.

After there were two rules people who answered the question, the other rules also began to express their honesty to Rey.

"You did tell the truth. Ok, you guys can take your place to the left of the humans."

"Thank you, my lord." All the rules that didn't take part in the action immediately rejoiced and took up positions to the left of the humans.

Rey's gaze glanced back at the rules that had participated in the action. Their faces immediately turned very pale with fear of the punishment they would receive. Rey's eyes also became very cold looking at them and the intense pressure that immediately came out of Rey's body suppressed all the rules.

The faces of the rules immediately turned very pale, their bodies hit the ground directly, and their bodies were sweating profusely again.

Rey rose from her spot and floated right above the rules .

"Killing other nations without any guilt and using arbitrary authority by suppressing one party and not allowing the other party to ascend to a higher realm. I hereby declare that the punishment for the rules involved in this action is death."

"Not!" Shouted the rules with frightened faces facing down.

The humans and Rules who survived immediately shook their bodies in shock at Rey's decision. The soul beast representatives hearing this became overjoyed and even cheered with joy that they would finally get their rights back.

"Hakai!" Just one word. The bodies of all the rules that had participated in that action instantly disintegrated and disappeared without any residue whatsoever.

After carrying out the execution, Rey floated back to her previous position and exhaled. Rey's gaze then looked at the surviving rules and said, "I hope you guys don't act like the previous rules . Otherwise, the consequences you will receive will be the same as they received."

"We understand, my lord." Even with their bodies shaking from the previous scene, they still answered Rey's question.

Rey nodded and looked at all the creatures.

"Okay. This session I will close. Next I will tell you a few things. Please listen carefully."

The soul beast representatives, humans, and the rules immediately fell silent and waited for the information that would be conveyed by Rey.

"There are a few things I want to tell you. The first is for rules. I want after you guys return to the realm of rules. You stay for a while in the lower realm where you lived before."

"I beg your pardon, my lord. Can you explain why?" One of the rules asked in a polite tone that represented questions from humans, soul beasts, and the other rules .

"I think the realm of the upper realms for your universe seems very small. One of the reasons for the occurrence of the previous incident was due to resources and territory. Because of that, I have the initiative to increase the realm of the upper realm to be hundreds of thousands of times larger compared to the current one. In order to do that, you can't stay there because it might have a bad impact on you or even your family who live there."

"We understand, my lord." The rules who heard this became very happy. Because with the widening of the territory, it means that there will be a lot of resources and also the area will be very wide.

Rey's gaze then turned to the humans.

"Next to you guys" Rey could see the nervous faces the humans had, "Don't be afraid. I will not do anything that harms you like I did with the previous rules . They get the punishment because of the mistakes they have done. You didn't come here to get the same punishment but just some information I want to give you."

Hearing the explanation given by Rey, the humans instantly became calmer on their faces.

"Due to the previous incident, only 150 rules will remain that will occupy the upper realms after the upgrade is complete. Due to the initiative made by me, the upper realm realm will likely have a very large area. Because of that, I will make some changes to the exam regarding one's being able to ascend to the upper realms."

The faces of the humans immediately turned into overjoyed hearing this. Because just from this brief explanation, they already knew the direction of Rey's conversation.

"Previously for one to ascend to the upper realms there were three ways. The first way is to be directly appointed by me like the first officer to occupy the rules realm. But this first method is no longer used because it is not very effective and it is better to give them a test. The second used their own power to ascend like the first few generations of rules that first occupied the upper realm. The last way is by inheritance. After the upgrade that will be carried out in the upper realm, there will be some changes. One of them is by way of people to rise to the upper realm. There will still be a test. However, in this exam, anyone can participate provided that person has reached a certain level of strength. . "

Rey's gaze then looked at all the creatures in front of her.

"That also applies to rules and soul beasts. For the rules, you can take the exam again. But it has no effect on the position you have. If you got a lower evaluation than you got now, you would still be in your current position. However, if you get a higher evaluation score, you will gain something with your position. Same with humans and rules. Your soul beast can also participate. However, your exams will be slightly different from those of the rules and humans."

"Slightly different? Can you explain, sir?" The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena took the initiative to ask on behalf of all the soul beast representatives participating in this trial.

"Do not worry. Your test will have the same intensity as the human test and the rules. The trials you will pass begin when you have reached a 200,000 year soul beast. You just need to be able to withstand the attacks made by the divine thunder that you usually get every time you reach hundreds of thousands of years of strength. The higher your cultivation, the higher your status and strength in the upper realms. So for a soul beast that has reached 200,000 years of strength, once the upgrade of the upper realm is complete, it can immediately occupy a position there."

All the soul beast representatives became extremely happy hearing this. Because the soul beasts participating in this trial are the soul beasts with the easiest lifespan of 200,000 years.

"Do not be too happy, yet. There are a few additions that I will give you guys."

The soul beast representative instantly fell silent because he wanted to hear this. The humans and the rules could only remain silent and stare at the soul beasts with envious eyes.

"Additions that I will give. I will change the rules of the world that belongs to your world. Usually in order to increase your strength, each soul beast takes the same amount of time as your lifespan. This rule is the rule set by the previous rules . I'm going to change this rule and it reverts for the better. Your strength now does not depend on your age. Your strength now depends on your hard work. The harder you work, the higher your power will be. Just like humans who work hard to train to increase the strength they have. That way, you don't have to wait a long time to be able to get 100,000 years of strength like before, which had to wait 100,000 years. How? Are you happy with this gift I gave you?" Rey asked with a small smile.

All the soul beast representatives became extremely happy to hear this. Cheers of joy and happiness rang out again from the soul beast's side.

"Thank you for the gift, my lord. This means a lot to us soul beast party. That way, we no longer have to wait long to increase our strength. Again, thank you very much." It was not Gu Yuena who said this. Rather, the Golden Dragon King is the brother of the Silver Dragon King. The other soul beasts saw the Golden Dragon King paying their respects, they immediately paid their respects sincerely to Rey.

"No need to thank me. That's something you should have gotten a long time ago" Rey's gaze then turned to everyone else, "Ok, up to this point, is there anything you want to ask regarding some changes? Do not be afraid to ask, I will not discriminate against all of you here. Please ask if there is anything you would like to know."

One of the humans immediately raised his hand excitedly.

"Please"

The man immediately walked forward. Several soul beast representatives knew the person.

"Thank you for allowing me to ask, my lord. First let me introduce myself, my name is Qian Douli, I was previously a subordinate of the Seraphim rules. I'd like to ask. How long will it take for Master to complete an upper realm upgrade?"

This question that Qian Douli asked also represented the question that every being there wanted to ask. Some of them looked at Qian Douli with a look of gratitude for asking whereas there were some who looked at Qian Douli with admiration for daring to ask.

"Looks like you can't wait to ascend to a higher realm, don't you, Xiao Dou?" Rey smiled slightly while teasing Qian Douli. Qian Douli's face was slightly slightly embarrassed. Several creatures chuckled hearing Rey's teasing, "However, I also salute the spirit you have. Well, the estimated time, at least takes about a dozen days. I can't specify how long it will take me to use. But the latest is 15 days counting the days of the upper world. If it's converted to the lower realms, it's about 15 years."

"Thank you for answering my question, my lord." Qian Douli saluted.

"You're welcome. I'm sure you guys won't mind waiting 15 years, right? After all, with that time, you can prepare yourself well so that you can get a very good evaluation result in the exam."

The whole being nodded excitedly as they couldn't wait for the time.

"Ok, you can return to the line, Xiao Dou."

"Thank you" Qian Douli saluted back and turned to walk back into the line with a grateful gaze directed at him.

"Okay. Any other questions?"

A few seconds of waiting, not one of them raised his hand.

"Okay. In that case, the trial is over. I will return you to where you were before. Oh, and for the soul beasts. Can you guys spare a minute? There are some things I want to talk to you about."

"We can do it, my lord." Gu Yuena answered him quickly.

The humans and the rules stared at the soul beasts with envious gazes. The soul beasts replied to them with gazes full of pride. Before long, Rey immediately used her powers by moving all the humans and rules back to their respective places and only Rey and the soul beast representatives were there.
