Chapter 369: Returning to the mortal life again Ethan brought back that leader into life because he wanted to show them that he was completely out of their league, and that they should bring their true leader or even the mastermind to the front. Even if they did not, he had a lot of time in his hands to slowly play with them. "Well, Supreme Judge, I am waiting for my punishment," Ethan said as he looked at the judge with a smile. The smile was so pure that it looked like a father gazing fondly at his son. On his otherworldly handsome face, it appeared even more gentle. But to the judges, that smile felt like a death bell ringing above their heads. "Your Majesty, why the heck did you send us to die? A foe even you cannot deal with, yet you sent us to face him," they wanted to cry, but no tears came out. "Call your monarch," Ethan said in a soft tone. "As you wish, my lord. His Majesty is on his way," everyone said as they knelt down. Ethan glanced toward the secret realm where that Emperor realm being was cultivating. At this moment, that being was also looking in this direction, but Ethan had blocked his vision. That was why he could not see anything about what was happening here. After a while, an overwhelming aura appeared in the court. The emperor had personally ordered himself to come here to see what was going on. When he arrived, he saw that the target was calmly sitting on a throne, while all his subordinates were kneeling in front of him. The moment he saw this scene, immense anger surged through his mind, and he appeared instantly in front of the Supreme Judge. Bam! He slapped him so hard that the judge passed away instantly. "How dare you kneel in front of a lowly creature?" he roared at them. Then he looked at Ethan and was about to say something harsh, but before he could do that, Ragnarok appeared in front of him. He did not even see Ragnarok move. His eyes widened when he realized that something extremely unusual had just happened. He could not see the butler’s movement at all. But his thought processing was nowhere near as fast as Ragnarok’s attack speed. Baam! Ragnarok slapped him so hard that the monarch felt three of his teeth fly out. A being like him, who had long ago transcended life and death along with his mortal body, was now feeling pain and sorrow for his poor teeth. Before he could even react, another slap landed on his other cheek. "How impudent. How dare you make noise in front of my lord’s presence. Keep that filthy mouth of yours shut," Ragnarok snorted coldly. He was enjoying every single moment of this. The ancient demon race had been exterminated by these damn monarchs. They once had a monarch of their own. They had an entire world belonging solely to them. They never needed to leave that world to gather cultivation resources. It was filled with blessings. But one day, a monarch from another race discovered their world. The monarch of the ancient demon race welcomed him with open arms. But that bastard went insane when he saw the abundant resources of their world. He contacted several other monarchs and launched a sneak attack. After killing him, the ancient demon race became homeless. From that moment onward, they were forced to become evil just to survive. Eventually, their entire race was exterminated by those so called righteous bastards. Because of this, Ragnarok had suppressed anger buried deep in his heart. He never imagined that one day he would become so powerful that monarchs, beings who were basically gods of their races, would become like children in front of him. Ragnarok continued slapping the monarch to his heart’s content. Ethan did not stop him. He was also enjoying the show. One hour later. Ragnarok finally stopped. But the monarch was now in a state that was hard to recognize. Ethan became speechless. Ragnarok had pummeled the man far too much. "I am sorry, my lord. I got carried away," Ragnarok said, stunned by his own ruthlessness. Ethan stood up from the throne and walked toward the monarch. "Why don’t you call your master?" Ethan said as he healed the man. The monarch trembled violently. Now that Ethan was so close, and as Ethan used his energy to heal him, the monarch could tell that this man’s aura was infinite, just like his master’s. He could not sense the depth of Ethan’s power at all. In truth, all the monarchs of this world were servants of that Emperor class entity. "Y yes. I will inform my master immediately." Ethan returned to his throne. He stared directly toward that being, waiting to see his reaction when his servant reported this incident. And as expected, the moment he heard the news, his expression changed instantly. Ethan thought that man would come directly to confront him, judging by the hostile aura he was releasing. But to his surprise, that man began running in the opposite direction instead of coming toward him. Ethan frowned. "What the heck? Why would he run away without even confronting me? How did that bastard become so powerful with such a puny gut?" But Ethan could not let him escape. He needed answers. ... Inside the secret realm, the entity listened to everything his subordinate said, and his face instantly turned pale with horror. What he feared the most had actually happened. The guardian had probably made his move against him. That was the only entity he feared in this world. Although he had never seen that guardian, he had sensed his presence before. That presence was supremely powerful, yet had no cultivation base. Through countless calculations, he had reached a realization. If he ever dared to rebel against the world, the world itself would produce a being to suppress him. After calculating billions of possible futures where he attacked the world, the result was always the same. Defeat. And in this world, only that being had a chance to defeat him. Because of this, for countless years, he never made a move against the world. He waited patiently, strengthening his forces, increasing the chances of his eventual victory. But today, the description his subordinate provided perfectly matched the power he had sensed eons ago. Two plus two equaled four. He did not need much time to reach the conclusion. That was why he ran. He was not ready to face that unknown guardian yet. He had even prepared an extremely secret spatial layer long ago, meant solely for escaping if such a situation ever occurred. With a wave of his hand, space tore open, and he entered his hidden base. "Huuufff. Now I am safe. That guardian will not be able to find me here. I will remain until I finish my comprehension and break through to the realm of god," he sighed in relief. Just as he turned around to sit down, his soul nearly left his body. Someone was already sitting on his sofa, casually eating an apple. The man wore a gentle, fatherly smile. ... Ethan observed the man with great interest. He truly could not understand why he had run away like that. "Yo, what’s up? Is everything alright?" Ethan asked with the same calm smile. The man collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud. His face was filled with despair. "Why? How?" he muttered like a lunatic. "Hey, don’t be afraid. I don’t bite. But can you tell me why you ran away?" Ethan asked again after finishing his apple. The man remained lost in despair, unable to answer. Ethan waved his hand. A chair appeared behind the man. Only then did the man return to his senses and kneel again, this time consciously. "My lord, please forgive me. I will never dare to rebel against the world again." His situation perfectly matched the proverb: "The wicked flee when no one pursues." Ethan had not even chased him, yet he had already confessed his intentions. "So you wanted to take over this world. A grand ambition indeed. But why did you run away when you heard about me from your servant?" Ethan asked curiously. The man then told him everything from the beginning. After listening, Ethan looked at him with disdain. How had such a pathetic man become so powerful? The being he spoke of was Ethan’s former self. Ethan had once considered that guardian as his enemy, while his former self had never even known of his existence. "Alright. From now on, you will become my servant. You will be my personal farmer." Ethan decided to return to the Origin Dimension’s third dimension, where his story had first begun. At present, his comprehension of the Source of Existence was stuck at ninety nine percent, and his system was sleeping. Because of this, he could not grow any stronger for now. He needed to understand the true meaning of life to comprehend the final percentage. And for that, living a mortal life was the best option. Although he could venture into the vast infinite world outside this creature’s body, he was not ready yet. He needed his system to regain confidence before stepping into that unknown world.
