Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

"grown ups."

Vesa bowed.

"How is the Ming Cult doing lately?"

Jiang Ming inquired.

The sect founded by Visa was named after Jiang Ming and was called "Ming Cult".

When this was mentioned, Vesa's face lit up with even more excitement.

"I was just about to report to the master."

She raised her hand and waved it, and a screen of light unfolded in front of the two of them.

On the screen was a huge star map. The star map was marked with countless dots of light, each dot representing a planet inhabited by life.

"In the past three years, the Ming Cult has established branches in thirteen star systems and on more than 1.2 million inhabited planets within the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

As Vesa's finger traced across the star map, the points of light lit up.

"The number of registered believers has now exceeded 180 trillion."

"One hundred and eighty trillion?"

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. Although the number was within his expectations, he was still somewhat shocked when he actually heard it.

"This is just the beginning."

Vesa continued.

"Most of these believers are currently in the training phase. We provide them with systematic 'doctrinal' education so that they can understand the deeds of the Great Man, the Great Man's greatness, and the contributions the Great Man has made to the human race."

She paused, then added.

"At the current pace, the first batch of 'missionaries' will probably need another three to five years to complete their training. At that time, they will be sent to more inhabited planets to spread the story of the adults to every corner."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"No rush, we need to lay a solid foundation first."

He knew very well that the "doctrine" Vesa spoke of was actually his embellished and artistically processed life story, as well as those deliberately exaggerated legends.

Some of these things are true, but most of them are actually fabricated.

However, whether it's fake or real, spreading it will bring Jiang Ming a sense of legend.

"My lord, since everyone learned that you have entered Chaos City, they have been discussing how many levels you will pass on the first Bridge to Heaven."

Visa brought up the most popular topic right now.

Jiang Ming and Wei Sa often use such tidbits of gossip to enhance their relationship.

"Oh? Is it popular?"

Jiang Ming asked curiously, as this was not unusual.

"Of course, especially the immortal powerhouses, they are arguing fiercely in various places, and some places have even started setting up betting platforms."

As she spoke, Vesa also shared some news from the Immortal Forum with Jiang Ming.

Some immortal powerhouses also like to browse forums and similar places.

After reading these messages, an idea gradually formed in Jiang Ming's mind.

He's been thinking about how to create a big news story lately.

"Visa, do you think we could set up a betting platform?"

Jiang Ming answered with a bright look in his eyes.

"sure."

Vesa instantly understood Jiang Ming's meaning, but the next moment she said with some regret:

"Although there is no problem with setting up a betting platform, given my strength, status, and financial resources, the amount of capital I can set up cannot be too large. If it is too large, others will not be willing to place bets."

Vesa felt somewhat helpless.

The strength of a Marquis-level Immortal is indeed considerable; they can handle even wealth amounting to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of Hunyuan units.

But if it's a gamble involving all immortals, then it starts with funds in trillions of monstrous units.

Her small frame couldn't handle it, and she had no way of bearing it.

"I know, so we still need to find more people to join us. What do you think of the King of Qianwu?"

Jiang Ming asked.

"Of course, no problem. With the king's strength, this betting odds pose no pressure on him at all, but the king..."

Wei Sa didn't finish speaking because she wasn't very optimistic about the matter, even though Jiang Ming was the bookmaker, referee, and player in this affair, and was guaranteed to make a profit.

However, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom at that level had already lost interest in Hunyuan units.

"Leave it to me. If the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom intervenes, the sect will have ample funds in the future."

Jiang Ming smiled confidently. He raised his hand, and a communication request was sent instantly.

"I contacted the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom."

The communication was established almost instantly.

A virtual image of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler appeared before Jiang Ming. He was still wearing that purple-gold robe, his face dignified, but his deep eyes now held a hint of curiosity.

"Jiang Ming? What do you want?"

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Ming bowed slightly.

"I have an idea..."

Jiang Ming then shared his thoughts.

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's idea, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom burst into laughter.

"Great, great, I'll take this deal."

To Vesa's surprise, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom agreed immediately.

After hanging up the call, Vesa was still a little dizzy.

"The king agreed so easily? That's it?"

At this moment, Vesa looked at Jiang Ming with blank eyes.

"You've misunderstood one thing: that while immortals enjoy gambling, are there no venerables who also enjoy gambling?"

Jiang Ming smiled and asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Vesa instantly understood what Jiang Ming meant.

"That's right! The bookmaker, the referee, and the players are all ourselves. This business, we can win a hundred times if we do it a hundred times. We can only limit the betting to the Immortal level, but the King can open the betting to the Venerable level."

The Mixed Yuan Unit is meaningless to a Venerable One, but gambling among Venerable Ones would certainly be attractive to a ruler.

Vesa suddenly slapped her forehead in realization.

Immortals possess eternal life, and many powerful immortals have not been able to advance even an inch in billions of years, so they like to seek thrills, adventures, and pleasures.

The Venerables are actually the same, but Vesa has hardly ever had any contact with the Venerables and subconsciously overlooked this issue.

"However, we shouldn't even think about cooperating with the king or getting funds from the Venerable One. Even the profits from the Immortal level should be split 7/3, with us taking 3%."

Jiang Ming looked at Wei Sa and said.

"clear."

Vesa nodded.

Whether this matter succeeds or not depends entirely on Jiang Ming himself, but without the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, it would at most be a small-scale operation.

With the help of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, the scale of the operation was expanded.

......

With the help of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, a gambling platform called "The Road to Heaven" was quietly launched in the virtual universe in less than half a day.

Leveraging the authority and resources of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, this gambling platform attracted a great deal of attention from the immortals as soon as it went online.

"Have you heard? Someone has started a betting pool on how many levels Jiang Ming can conquer on his first attempt at the Sky Bridge."

"Jiang Ming? That kid who's hailed as the greatest genius in human history?"

"Yes, it's him. The betting platform is set up in the Thunder Island Plane Temple of the King, and it's endorsed by the King himself."

"The king? That's something to play with. I bet he can get past the fifth level, what are the odds?"

「第五层赔率1赔1.5，第六层1赔2，第七层1赔5，第八层1赔10，第九层1赔50，第十层1赔100.......」

"Jiang Ming chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument, right? This bridge to heaven is quite difficult."

"Who says otherwise? That's why I bet on the sixth floor."

The author, a bit of a coward, personally recommends: I hope you enjoy the story of "Man Devours, Cards Draw from All Heavens, Starting with Yang Jian".
