I became Superman

By uniting the aspirations of all beings, one can achieve one's own path to enlightenment.

That sounds impressive.

Zhou Ming asked, "Would the emperor allow such people to exist?"

Minglou said, "The emperor also cherishes talent. The Great Celestial Venerable is very powerful, and he has a strength: he can bring others into his belief system."

"His new Heavenly Court system, in addition to himself as the Great Heavenly Venerable, also established ten attendant gods, thirty-six Heavenly Nets, and countless divine servants."

"These people were all ordinary people without mutations, but because they were incorporated into his belief system, they also ascended along with the Great Celestial Venerable and became powerful figures in the new Heavenly Court."

"In other words, the Great Celestial Venerable created ten gods with his own power. These ten attendant gods are naturally inferior to the other gods who became gods on his own, but they can still be considered strong."

"Such a system that can continuously create gods can greatly increase the strength of the empire, and the emperor is reluctant to give it up so easily."

"Moreover, the Great Celestial Venerable himself is also very good at doing things. In his own belief system, he established the divine office of the Holy King of Governance, which is on the same level as the Great Celestial Venerable. This divine office is the emperor. From then on, for every bit of faith the Great Celestial Venerable gained, the emperor would share half of it."

"The emperor may not appreciate this enhancement, but since the Great Celestial Venerable has acted in this way, the emperor has tolerated his existence, only forbidding him from openly preaching and requiring him to act discreetly."

This is the value of united front work.

The Great Celestial Venerable was powerful and useful to the emperor, so even though he bewitched people and plotted to steal money and kill people, the emperor still kept him around and even valued him, making things much easier for him.

But what about those "Aunt Wangs" and those "Gu Pans"? Nobody cares at all.

In Zhou Ming's previous life, many people jokingly referred to themselves as cattle or horses.

But in this glorious new Han Empire, the vast majority of people were not even considered cattle or horses.

Some people are like cattle and horses, while others are like grass and trees; grass and trees are meant to be eaten by cattle and horses.

As for Zhou Ming himself...

He suddenly found it quite amusing that, in the eyes of those important figures, he might be someone who, despite being a chess player, insisted on jumping onto the chessboard and calling himself a pawn.

It's so bizarre it's hard to understand.

It's right that he's strange; if he seems strange to those people, it means he's relatively normal.

Zhou Ming asked, "If that's the case, then the Great Celestial Venerable relies on people's faith, so he should cherish people's lives. Why then is he pushing people towards death?"

Minglou sighed, "For him, the most precious belief is the one that people are willing to risk their lives to uphold. This is the true cornerstone upon which the new Heavenly Court stands."

That makes it clear.

Zhou Ming asked, "Where is the new Heavenly Court?"

Minglou was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhou Ming, I really don't understand you. Why do you want to cause trouble for yourself?"

"This has nothing to do with you, does it?"

Zhou Ming said nonchalantly, "Actually, it's not much of a problem. Do you remember what you and Minglong said? He crossed the line."

"The affairs of the aliens are the affairs of the aliens, and the affairs of humans are the affairs of humans. He, as an alien, attempts to dominate the human spirit, which is an overstepping of authority, and the overstepper should be punished."

"and…"

At this point, Zhou Ming paused slightly, then adopted a sarcastic tone, saying, "Now every cat and dog is jumping out and claiming to be a god."

"Not only does he claim to be a god, but he is also the god among gods, some kind of Great Celestial Venerable."

"Since he is a Great Celestial Venerable, he shouldn't be unable to defeat even me. I'd like to test the strength of this Great Celestial Venerable."

Minglou was helpless.

This guy is a real headache.

He had never seen anyone like this before.

There were troublesome guys in the past, but they were quickly suppressed by the Empire.

There were some powerful individuals in the past, but they quickly integrated into the empire's system of strong individuals and enjoyed the various privileges provided by the empire.

Their strength is so formidable that they are difficult to suppress, yet they refuse to integrate into the empire's system of powerful individuals, which remains a headache for many. This is the first one.

Minglou said helplessly, "After all, I am a member of this system, and I can't say any more."

"I can only tell you that the New Heavenly Court is an illusory place constructed by the Great Celestial Venerable based on people's beliefs. It both exists and does not exist, and it is difficult to find using conventional methods."

Zhou Ming knew that it was unrealistic to expect Ming Lou to be as unrestrained as he was.

Minglou is the empire's guardian deity, not a wandering mortal like himself.

He smiled and said, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ming said goodbye to Huang Hong.

Yi Jiahui's grass cherry blossoms were still chatting happily with the people at the alien center.

Seeing that they seemed to have endless things to talk about, Zhou Ming said goodbye and went home on his own.

Back home, he began to think about the new Heavenly Court.

His detection method is nothing more than X-ray vision; trying to detect the entire globe using X-ray vision would be incredibly time-consuming.

He achieves his X-ray vision through X-rays and gamma rays.

Both of these types of rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves, and their power must be maintained at extremely low levels to ensure they are harmless to living organisms.

If the power is too high, even rocks and steel can be easily melted.

However, if the power is too low, the penetration will be greatly reduced.

He'd better determine a general area first before conducting a detailed search.

Zhou Ming thought of Su Cheng, who had added him as a friend yesterday.

He immediately found Su Cheng in the list. Su Cheng's profile picture was a silhouette of a beautiful woman's profile, which should be herself.

Zhou Ming opened the chat box and asked, "Why were you at the Saint's lecture yesterday? Do you know anything about them?"

Su Cheng quickly replied: "I'm going to seek justice for my sister."

Zhou Ming: "What happened to your sister?"

Su Cheng: "Dead."

Thinking of her sister's death, Su Cheng felt a lump in her throat. She didn't like talking about her sister's death with others, but for some reason, Zhou Ming seemed to be an exception.

She worried that talking about her sister's death with others would invite criticism and cause her sister to suffer shame even after her death.

But Zhou Ming wouldn't do that.

Although they had just met, she always felt that letting Zhou Ming know about her sister would elicit pity and even redemption.

Su Cheng said, "My sister committed suicide by jumping into the river. She was always an obedient and well-behaved girl. She always showed cheerfulness and optimism to her family. No one would have thought that she would suddenly take her own life."

"So after it happened, I just couldn't believe it. I looked up all my sister's social media accounts to find the answer, and that's when I discovered that my sister wasn't as optimistic and cheerful as we thought."

"She is a middle school girl. Middle school is an age when boys and girls like to form gangs. My sister is introverted and was bullied by several strong-willed girls in her class. She fell into depression for a time."

"At that time, we encountered some problems in our family, and everyone was on edge. My sister didn't want to burden her family with her condition, so she decided to deal with it on her own."

"But she's so young, she doesn't know how to handle complicated interpersonal relationships at all. She's just overthinking things and only pushing herself into a dead end."

"And so those people took advantage of the situation."
