Chapter 49

When Li Zheng saw the contents inside the storage ring, his expression was deeply moved, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face.

The old man then led Ye Tianming towards the distance.

On the way, although Ye Tianming tried to remain calm, he was still very excited. He thought to himself, "Ancestor of the Tower, I'm going to make it big."

The small tower replied, "Mm-hmm."

Ye Tianming was surprised, "Ancestor of the Tower, this is the inheritance of a super divine civilization, and your response is so calm..."

The small tower said, "I'm also very excited... The inheritance of a super divine civilization, kid, you're going to make it big. Ancestor of the Tower is really happy for you, really."

Ye Tianming: "......"

After watching Ye Tianming disappear with the old man, Gu Qi suddenly said, "This Ye brother is quite righteous."

Li Zheng smiled, "Brother Gu, are you interested in joining our Tong Lian Association?"

Gu Qi asked curiously, "Tong Lian Association? What does it do?"

Li Zheng nodded, "It was founded by Miss Nanling Zhao, with the aim of uniting all young people with goals and ideals, and then working together to do something for the Guanxuan Universe."

Gu Qi looked at Li Zheng, "I remember, your Li family has an ancestral rule that forbids forming factions in the Guanxuan Universe."

Li Zheng smiled, "There is such an ancestral rule, but this is not about forming factions. We want to unite to do more for the Guanxuan Universe, making it better. If our ancestors knew, I think they would support it."

Gu Qi fell silent.

Although the Beyond Civilization is an independent cosmic civilization, it is actually under the jurisdiction of the Guanxuan Academy. They have high autonomy, but they still have to follow the orders of the Guanxuan Academy's cabinet. Even the geniuses of the Beyond Civilization want to enter the main campus of the Guanxuan Academy, because the best resources of the entire Guanxuan Universe civilization are there, and it has the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Guanxuan Universe, providing a much larger stage.

If he could join such a group, it might not be a bad thing for him, because from what he could see, the people in this group were clearly not ordinary.

After weighing the options, Gu Qi nodded, "Okay."

Li Zheng smiled, "I represent the Tong Lian Association in welcoming you."

...

Ye Tianming followed the old man to a teleportation array. After stepping into the array, Ye Tianming felt everything before his eyes become blurry. Then, he saw countless stars and galaxies fly past like lightning.

Soon, everything calmed down, and the scene before him gradually stabilized. He was now in a starry sky, and not far in front of him, there stood towering stone pillars, each reaching ten thousand feet in height, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. These stone pillars supported a vast and magnificent hall. At first glance, it was incredibly grand and spectacular.

Ye Tianming was stunned by the sight. He had seen Qingzhou City, but compared to this hall, Qingzhou City was like an ant to an elephant.

Ye Tianming thought to himself, "Ancestor of the Tower, I've seen the world."

The small tower: "......"

The old man led Ye Tianming towards the distant hall, "Our Extraordinary Civilization has developed for 3.9 billion years, from the beginning to now. The most glorious period was during the time of our civilization's founder. Under her leadership, our Extraordinary Civilization reached unprecedented heights, and after our ancestor broke through, it reached the pinnacle of civilization. However, later on, our descendants became less and less capable, and we fell from the pinnacle of civilization to a super divine civilization, and then to a divine civilization..."

At this point, he sighed softly, his expression complex.

Ye Tianming asked, "Senior, why did you choose me?"

The old man smiled, "Guess?"

Ye Tianming thought for a moment and then said, "In terms of talent, Mu Yong and the Li and Gu brothers from earlier are all stronger than me. In terms of family background, they are far superior to me. So..."

The old man looked at him and smiled, "Do you think we chose you because of your poor family background, making you easier to control?"

Ye Tianming nodded, "Yes."

The old man glanced at the small tower on his waist and said meaningfully, "You're right, we chose you because of your poor family background."

Ye Tianming was a bit puzzled.

The old man did not explain further. He looked at the distant hall, "In recent years, our Extraordinary Civilization has always wanted to revive, but we found it extremely difficult. To revive the civilization, we need a super genius, and in recent years, although our Extraordinary Civilization has produced many geniuses, due to the new order and rules of this universe, unless they can break all the rules and order, it's simply not possible."

Ye Tianming asked, "Senior, do you think I can break all the rules and order?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know."

Ye Tianming was puzzled.

The old man smiled, "But I think you have a chance."

Ye Tianming smiled bitterly, "Senior, you're too kind to me. To be honest, before I left Qingzhou, I was very confident, thinking my fate was in my hands. But after leaving Qingzhou, I realized this world is much more complex than I thought. Not to mention the noble families, even a small manager in the academy can make our lives miserable."

As he spoke, he looked at the old man, "Senior, if you think I have a chance, it's not because of me, but because of something I have. I have two things that are not mine: one is this Dao Sword, and the other is my Ancestor of the Tower."

The old man fell silent.

Ye Tianming smiled, "Regardless of the reason you chose me, I am very grateful. If I have a future, I will do my best to help the Extraordinary Civilization to repay your kindness today."

The old man looked at Ye Tianming, "Kid, you are a very smart person. I can't lie to you. Indeed, I chose you for other reasons at first, but to be honest, from the beginning to now, your actions have surprised me, greatly surprised me."

Ye Tianming asked, "Senior, what do you mean?"

The old man said, "Sincerity."

Ye Tianming fell silent.

The old man asked curiously, "I have a question. Is your sincerity genuine, or is there some calculation in it? For example, with Mu Yong and the two kids earlier..."

Ye Tianming said, "I don't know."

The old man was taken aback.

Ye Tianming said, "I only know that no one is stupid. If they don't harm me, I won't harm them. I act with a clear conscience."

"Ha ha!"

The old man suddenly burst out laughing, "Good, acting with a clear conscience, very good, ha ha!"

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the entrance of the hall. The hall's door was made of an unknown white jade, towering a hundred feet high. In front of the hall's door, there stood two black statues holding long spears.

When Ye Tianming saw the two statues, he immediately felt an无形的压迫感，让他不由自主地有一种想要膜拜的冲动。

他心中顿时一惊，自己为何会有这种感觉？

他抬头看了一眼那两尊高耸的雕像，然后调整了自己的心态，神色很快恢复平静。

老者看了他一眼，脸上泛起了一抹笑容，"走吧！"

说着，他拂袖一挥，那大殿的门突然被打开了，二人走进大殿内。大殿非常空旷，在视线的尽头，那里屹立着一尊女子雕像，但叶天命却看不到对方的脸。

叶天命心中有些激动地说道，"塔祖，你见过这种大场面没？"

小塔沉默片刻后，说道，"没......"

叶天命感慨道，"塔祖，我们今天算是真正见过世面了。"

小塔： "......"

老者带着叶天命来到那座女子雕像面前，他直接缓缓跪了下去，随即恭敬地拿出了一枚令牌放在地上，恭敬道，"后人槐树叩见先祖。"

那枚令牌突然缓缓腾空而起，然后飞到雕像女子手中，突然间，那雕像微微一颤，一道白光没入雕像内，紧接着，雕像直接活了过来。

叶天命依旧看不到女子的脸。

女子俯视着叶天命，"他便是你选的人？"

声音仿佛来自亿万里宇宙之外。

槐树恭敬道，"正是。"

女子盯着叶天命片刻后，突然，她掌心摊开，行道剑缓缓飞到她手中，她只是看了一眼行道剑，便又转头看向老者，"你选的人？"

槐树连忙恭敬道，"是。"

女子盯着他，"配吗？"

槐树脸色顿时为之一变，他连忙拉住叶天命，恭敬道，"先祖，这少年天赋人品都是绝佳，属下愿以性命担保，他未来若是崛起，必不负我超凡文明，还请先祖给他一个机会，属下......"

女子突然打断他，"我是说，我们配吗？"

啊？

槐树石化在那。

When Ye Tianming saw the two statues, he immediately felt an无形的压迫感，让他不由自主地有一种想要膜拜的冲动。

He was suddenly startled, wondering why he had such a feeling.

He looked up at the two towering statues and then adjusted his mindset, quickly regaining his composure.

The old man glanced at him, a smile spreading across his face, "Let's go!"

With that, he waved his sleeve, and the door of the hall suddenly opened. The two of them walked into the hall. The hall was very spacious, and at the far end, there stood a statue of a woman, but Ye Tianming could not see her face.

Ye Tianming, feeling somewhat excited, thought to himself, "Ancestor of the Tower, have you ever seen such a grand scene?"

The small tower remained silent for a moment and then said, "No..."

Ye Tianming sighed, "Ancestor of the Tower, today we have truly seen the world."

The small tower: "......"

The old man led Ye Tianming to the statue of the woman. He slowly knelt down and respectfully placed a token on the ground, saying, "Descendant Huai Shu pays respects to the Ancestor."

The token suddenly rose into the air and flew into the hands of the statue. Suddenly, the statue trembled slightly, and a beam of white light entered it, bringing it to life.

Ye Tianming still could not see the woman's face.

The woman looked down at Ye Tianming, "Is he the one you chose?"

Her voice seemed to come from a billion miles away.

Huai Shu respectfully replied, "Yes."

The woman stared at Ye Tianming for a moment, then opened her palm, and the Dao Sword slowly flew into her hand. She glanced at the Dao Sword and then turned to look at the old man, "Is he the one you chose?"

Huai Shu quickly replied, "Yes."

The woman stared at him, "Is he worthy?"

Huai Shu's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Ye Tianming, saying respectfully, "Ancestor, this young man has excellent talent and character. I am willing to vouch for him with my life. If he rises in the future, he will not let down our Extraordinary Civilization. Please give him a chance, Ancestor..."

The woman suddenly interrupted him, "I mean, are we worthy?"

Ah?

Huai Shu was stunned.
