Chapter 1081: Vying To Be The Human Ruler

Sky Star City was a hub!
Sky Star City was situated in a central part of the Vast Sky Great Cosmos and was a waypoint between various Great Cosmoses. Furthermore, it produced a sort of Sky Star Wood that was very useful in cultivation and refining.
Therefore, many people came to Sky Star City and the market within Sky Star City was a place that Sky Star Cities had to visit.
“Gimme one piece of Sky Star Wood!” Chen Hao said excitedly.
In order to show that he could afford the Sky Star Wood, he waved his Star Card.
On the card were a million Star Dollars that could be used in the Vast Star Great Cosmos!
However, when he pompously slapped his Star Card on the table, he had not imagined that the beaming attendant would say, “Sorry, sir, but your Star Dollars aren’t enough!”
His Star Dollars weren’t enough?
Chen Hao’s face darkened when he heard this. For the sake of buying one piece of Star Sky Wood, he had strived for decades through other galaxies, encountered untold dangers, and nearly lost his life. Only then had he earned enough to purchase some Sky Star Wood.
Given the amount of Star Dollars at his disposal, he should be able to purchase two pieces of Sky Star Wood and have some balance.
“Are you mistaken? Take a careful look. How can the Star Dollars I have not be enough?” Although he knew that he couldn’t just draw swords here unlike in space, he was still really upset so he couldn’t help but vent.
The attendant’s expression remained the same as ever. He had clearly seen this sort of attitude countless times and he thus replied, “One piece of Star Sky Wood costs five million Star Dollars!”
“Five million Star Dollars? Why… Why don’t you just go out and rob people? Since when did you raise the price of Sky Star Wood? Wasn’t it said that the price of Sky Star Wood would forever be stable?” Chen Hao, who couldn’t control himself any longer, snarled.
“The Lee Family said that the price would be stable. However, the Sky Star Wood in Sky Star City doesn’t belong to them. It belongs to Tianding Realm’s Long Family,” the attendant said.
“It’s best that you leave if you don’t have sufficient Sky Star Dollars. Don’t cause any trouble here. Some time ago, a Nebula-Grade martialist was slain on the spot because he argued over the increased prices.”
Chen Hao immediately toned down after the attendant said this. Even though he had a decent cultivation base, there was still a disparity between him and a Nebula-Grade martialist.
Seeing that the attendant’s attitude was still somewhat friendly, he quickly took an item out of his storage bracelet and carefully put it in the attendant’s hand. “Brother, I have been away fighting for decades and don’t really understand the current situation well. Could you do me a favor and explain to me what is going on?”
“You came too late. If you had come half a year earlier, Sky Star Wood would still have cost 500,000 Star Dollars apiece.” The attendant kindly accepted Chen Hao’s small gift. He then whispered, “It isn’t just Sky Star Wood. Now, all the main resources in the entire Vast Star Great Cosmos are controlled by the people who came from Tianding Realm.”
“I heard that prices have to be raised tenfold if any of these treasured materials are sold to ordinary humans like us.”
“When selling to the Heavenly Humans from Tianding Realm, the prices have to be lowered tenfold. How is this reasonable?”
The attendant’s words left Chen Hao a little dumbfounded. The difference between those two prices was outrageous.
Sky Star Wood, which he couldn’t even purchase with a million Star Dollars, could be bought with 50,000 Star Dollars by the Heavenly Humans. Just thinking about it made him furious.
“Isn’t… Isn’t anybody taking control of the situation?” Chen Hao took a deep breath and finally asked what he wanted to know.
“Who can do so? Who would even dare? I heard that even top entities can only suffer. Our Great Cosmos’ Sir Yuan Venerate Xing Mie is already being restrained in the North Sea.”
The attendant sighed helplessly. “Otherwise, did you think the patriarch, who is a disciple of Yuan Venerate Xing Mie, would just completely let others take over the Sky Star Wood business?”
The patriarch the attendant spoke of was the Lee Family’s figure of authority, so Sky Star Wood had always been under his control.
Chen Hao felt his whole body turn cold when he heard that Yuan Venerate Xing Mie was being suppressed in the North Sea. If the strongest entity in the entire Great Cosmos was being suppressed, who would even dare to resist?
“I heard that once the future human ruler unifies everyone, our entire 36 Great Cosmoses will have to worship the Heavenly Humans!”
“We’ll even have to worship them unconditionally!” The attendant shook his head. “All the ladies are going crazy while trying to find a Heavenly Human to wed to become one of them.”
Chen Hao was already in no mood to say anything else. He knew that anything he said would be useless now. He just muttered the words ‘Heavenly Human’ while feeling extremely sullen.
In a palace hidden in a void, someone said ruefully, “We can no longer allow the Heavenly Humans to act so rampantly.”
“If they are allowed to go on as they please, we will just become their slaves and even our future generations will become their slaves for all the years to come.”
“Even though they too are members of the Human Race, they never had any intention of being our equals.”
“According to what they say, they are the lofty Heavenly Humans and the gods who will decide our fate. Everything in the 36 Great Cosmoses has to go according to them. In that case, what do we even have?”
A silent pause followed. Even though many people understood that what this person said was correct, what else could they do?
The strength of the Heavenly Humans wasn’t something they could resist!
“What about the five great sacred halls? The five great sacred halls are the last stand of the ordinary Human Race. They can’t just sit idly by and do nothing at such a time!” someone finally said. However, his words made everyone even gloomier.
“I heard that Battle Hall has already changed its hall master! As for Da Qian Sacred Hall, even though the Da Qian Master is still in place, the Da Qian Sacred Mirror he possesses has already become a belonging of the Heavenly Humans.”
“Xuan Pin Sacred Hall’s Xuan Pin Gate is going to be taken to become one of the possessions of Ling Xiao Sacred Hall, which will be helmed by the Human Ruler. The energy of our 36 Great Cosmoses is going to fall by at least half.”
“There hasn’t been any news from Dark Hall. I heard that the entire Dark Hall is sealed up.”
“The only one that hasn’t yet pledged their allegiance to the Heavenly Humans is Hong Meng Sacred Hall. However, I fear that Hong Meng Sacred Hall won’t be able to hold out much longer. I heard that some Heavenly Humans are currently establishing the Human Ruler and don’t have the time to bother with Hong Meng Sacred Hall.”
“Once the Human Ruler is selected, they will work on Hong Meng Sacred Hall.”
Various discussions rang out before silence ultimately prevailed once again. Between the alternations of discussions and silence, the entire hall, which had been rather worked-up at first, became gloomy.
Some people already intended to leave.
“The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor has issued a decree saying that any human with a Taishi Yuan Venerate cultivation can vie for the position of the Human Ruler.” An old man suddenly saw a message on his communication device just as he was about to stand up.
The moment he saw this news, his eyes lit up. This meant that the ordinary Human Race could also fight for the position of the Human Ruler.
However, he had merely said this when someone spoke up. “It sounds like good news, but who amongst us could vie for the position of the Human Ruler?”
“Even though the decree of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor seems fair, in reality, we simply don’t have anyone capable of competing for this position. This is merely giving us false hope.”
The old man’s expression turned dim when his compatriot said that. Even though he wasn’t willing to admit it, his rationale very quickly told him that his compatriot said the truth.
“If there really isn’t any way to change things, then we can only think of ways to join the Heavenly Humans,” a Heavenly Venerate said sadly. “However, even if we join the Heavenly Humans, the subordinates and fellow humans…”
The Heavenly Venerate didn’t continue, but the facts were undeniable. His descendants could only be left within the ordinary Human Race.
Silence prevailed again, as any ideas of rebelling had already diminished. Then, someone took a look at his communication device and said, “Latest news: Hong Meng Sacred Hall’s hall master Luo Yunyang has already announced that he will vie for the position of the Human Ruler!”
“Really?” someone asked immediately.
The already quiet venue became lively once again. Many people even said excitedly, “Did Sir Luo Yunyang really announce that?”
“Is it true? You aren’t lying to us, right?”
This wasn’t just the reaction of the people in the large hall. The other four sacred halls and the 36 Great Cosmoses were all stunned by this news as well.
Countless martialists of the 36 Great Cosmoses went wild when they saw this news.
With the emergence of Tianding Realm, a huge pressure had made many people feel as though it was hard to breathe. When various main cultivation resources of the 36 Great Cosmoses had been taken by powerhouses of Tianding Realm, many people had formed an even less favorable impression of Tianding Realm.
However, Sir Luo Yunyang was actually going to vie for the position of the Human Ruler!
The moment Luo Yunyang became the Human Ruler, the 36 Great Cosmoses would experience better days.
The imminent problem of diminishing spiritual energy caused by the Xuan Pin Gate being taken away would similarly disappear!
In no time, calls of support for Luo Yunyang to assume the role of the Human Ruler echoed throughout the 36 Great Cosmoses!
