Above the Pacific Ocean, where the Divine Gate was located, everyone looked up and waited for the arrival of the second batch of candidates who intended to climb the Divinity Gate.
Time passed slowly. After a few hours, people and monsters gradually arrived as they flew towards the Divine Gate.
It seemed that everyone was agitated after the occurrence of the Divine Awakening. However, judging from the power of their presence, they were unlikely to be members of the starting lineup to climb the Ladder to Heaven. They were probably here just to scout for information.
China was not surprised by this. Seamlessly, they arranged the personnel required to accommodate, register, and put their details on record. Those who arrived went with the flow with no complaints, mostly due to the fact that they noticed a person standing emotionlessly by the Divine Gate.
After the registration, they immediately dispersed to take up a good spot. Then, their eyes fixated onto the Divine Gate that glowed gold in the sky, and the Ladder to Heaven behind the Gate. None of them attempted to walk into the Divine Gate. They only watched.
They were using all of their means to investigate and sense the situation, hoping to unveil more details about the Ladder to Heaven that hid behind the Divine Gate.
China did not stop their investigation efforts; they themselves had already prepared for two months, what difference would two or three hours of scouting make?
No one crossed the gate. The people from China remained outside with the people, maintaining order amongst the crowd.
Of course, they did not spend their waiting time being idle. For cultivators, time was precious. The Ladder to Heaven was open for an entire month, so the cultivators would have more than enough time on their hands. Thus, a ' Divine Gate Assembly' happened right on the grounds – wait, no, on the skies – where the Divine Gate stood.
Some started to exchange their cultivation experiences among themselves, others started to barter trade, or sell and purchase items that they need. If they had something valuable that even they themselves could not recognize, they could immediately get a skilled person from the crowd to validate the goods. The goods would then no longer be sold dirt cheap.
No one would blatantly take advantage of others here; on top of the upright hero that guarded the area, there were too many notabilities around for any shady business to happen.
That notability, however, was gazing at a faraway place, seeming occupied. Everyone who looked at him felt a swell of admiration and respect to the character. Mr. Pharos must have been worrying about the happenings and safety of the world...
These thoughts made them felt safe as the crowd busied themselves with the exchange of ideas and goods. As long as the man is around, there was no need for them to worry about any injustice.
"Righteous, righteous, righteous..."
Sir System mumbled to itself as it scanned the incoming crowd. Curious, Fang Ning asked, "Are you counting the number of righteous people in the area?"
"No, I am waiting for the evil people- to arrive…" scoffed Sir System, its tone sardonic as if Fang Ning asked an extremely stupid question.
"Hah, the only thing that will arrive is disappointment," Fang Ning retorted.
"Why?"
"My good sir, remember how powerful and great you are? Even the Demon Saint was defeated by you. What evil would dare to come to the Divine Gate?" Fang Ning explained.
"You were the one that said that once we opened the Gate at the Morality City, we could then guard the Divine Monument while we collect the tickets. You even said that we should let the Dragon Carp be our guard, where it allows only the just and we farm evil. Now, you're telling me that there's no evil to farm? Now I'm here for a month with nothing to do, accompanying all of you while you enjoy the fresh, high-altitude air?" The System was entirely displeased.
[The System is processing…

The System decided to capture some thieves…]
Fang Ning choked when he saw the System Notification. There were no tears that came even when he felt like crying.
Thousands and thousands of notable cultivators from all locations arrived and gathered here. No doubt, this was a monumental occasion, with numerous eyes watching every detail.
When everyone was watching, the personage who was responsible for the activation of the Divine Gate leaves to capture thieves? Would Vigilante A have any image to be salvaged if that actually happened?
Oh, Vigilante A still wanted his image to be intact… Vigilante A wants his image to be rooted even deeper than before.
Immediately, Fang Ning tried to exercise his skills of trickery once more. "No, you can't leave! What if the Divine Monument is stolen after you left?"
Sir System answered with finality, "I would only fear that no one does!"
Subsequently, everyone saw Vigilante A summoning his flying sword as if he was going to leave immediately.
Ren Ruofeng quickly called out, "Where are you going, great hero?"
There was no expression on Vigilante A's face. "Evil is rumbling under the surface, threatening to rupture chaos. I am to go and suppress it."
The crowd was awestruck when they heard the reply.
Even though this was a huge occasion, the great hero remained unwavered in his will and motivations. Indeed, his was the role model of all heroes, the lighthouse for all lighthouses.
Ren Ruofeng, however, nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. Intelligent as he was, he knew the personality of this hero, especially after he had lived with Vigilante A for one month before.
There was no explanation needed. That hero must have been irritated by the wait and felt that his time will be better spent if he went to catch some thieves.
Just as he wanted to stop the hero, a peculiar voice was heard from somewhere distant in the air.
"The evil wanting to cause chaos, huh? Hmph, Vigilante A, you really do get stronger with every battle. Your Heaven's Eye is now so powerful that even I cannot hide my tracks anymore."
A man donned in a suit suddenly appeared near the Divine Gate. He sported long locks, his eyes sharp as an eagle, his features of an average-looking man. He was the Great Demon Saint Zhi Nan.
Behind him was a man with a black robe, and a Caucasian woman. In her arms sat a tomcat. The man in the black robe had a young girl of twelve or thirteen with him, the younger blinking and staring at Vigilante A, her eyes inquisitive yet with a tinge of longing.
She knew that this was the original form of the Azure Dragon.
"Oh, Sir Big Spender, evil is finally here…" Sir System said in excitement.
"Hold on. Zhi Nan had been avoiding us for a while, but he now dares to show up right before us? There must be something wrong here. Ask him about it first," Fang Ning explained, thoughtful.
Thus, Vigilante A slowly spoke. "Great Demon Saint, what ulterior motives are you harboring that warrants your clandestine behavior?"
"Hah, stop these meaningless chatter. We demons want to enter this Divine Gate."
After he finished his sentence, he immediately walked to the Divine Gate, thus becoming the first in the crowd to do so.
"Demons and heterodox practices are not allowed in the Gate." Vigilante A promptly blocked the way, his tone solemn.
"The Heavenly Axioms does not discriminate." Zhi Nan's voice was light.
Numerous powerhouses were already looking over to observe the situation. At that moment, the air froze with tension.
Everyone saw how numerous vital energy surrounded Vigilante A, fusing to form the silhouette of a dragon that circled the area. The rumbles of the dragon spread in the air like thunder.
This was obviously the signs before an explosion.
However, Zhi Nan did not move. He had made no defensive moves, remaining calm throughout the ordeal.
Fang Ning quickly contemplated with apprehension. Suddenly, he was startled and stopped the System immediately.
"You cannot farm now."
"Why?"
The battle genius Sir System already readied himself with numerous combo techniques to harvest the experience point gift pack sitting in front of him. It was understandable that it was displeased.
"He's trying to outwit us by inducing us to go against the Will of the Heavens, causing us to act against the Heavens!" Fang Ning slammed.
"Huh?" The System was taken aback. "You're saying that Axiom Daddy allows him to climb the Divine Gate?"
"If this was not allowed, he would not have come here. After all, he was someone who experienced the power of the Heavenly Axioms first hand."
"D*mn it, are we really letting him off the hook just like that?"
"Of course not. Where is our dignity if we let him pass just because he said so?" Fang Ning's points of consideration were different than those of the System's.
"So what should we do now?"
"Easy, just let him queue," spoke Fang Ning candidly.
When it came to the tactics to do someone dirty, Fang Ning has amassed a library full of experiences from his frequent webnovel reading habits.
"How wise you are, Sir Big Spender. If he wants to be the one who initiates trouble, then the fault is no longer on me. The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear." Sir System seethed angrily.
Hence, the people heard the indifferent tone of Vigilante A that said, "If you intend to enter, you must follow the rules and queue. Humans, Demons, Ghosts, Devils and a yet unknown third race. You can only enter after the previous four races have entered."
Wait, what?
The crowd was shocked. Initially, they wanted to witness a showdown between two notables. What was going on now?
What was this? A scene of managerial conflict caused by a cut in the line?
Zhi Nan narrowed his eyes. Then, he laughed abruptly, "It is true, then, that you know the Will of the Heavens. Let's go."
Thus, he led the demons and settled down Southwest to the Divine Gate.
Needless to say, everyone was aghast when they saw a being as powerful as the Great Demon Saint make a compromise with Vigilante A. The former was actually willing to queue!
...
Meanwhile, a young man hiding amongst the crowd turned his eyes after he witnessed what happened. Then, he took out a mobile phone and seemed to have sent a message.
Not long after in the Underground Kingdom of the Giant Rat Clan, Nie Yuan was drinking alcohol, its glasses came one after another.
Suddenly, he saw the mobile phone beside him light up. He immediately grabbed the phone and swiped on the screen.
"Due to the Will of the Heavens, Vigilante A had no choice but to allow the fiendish races to enter the Divine Gate and climb the Ladder to Heaven. The demons and devils entered and stationed themselves where the Divine Gate is, and they are now queueing to climb the Ladder to Heaven."
"So it is true." With a crash, he flung the glass away, shattering it to pieces and sending them all around.
'This was great news. Master, you are wise indeed. You actually guessed the thoughts of the old man accurately!'
Taking the side of his son beforehand, proposing a golden standard during the meeting was an apparent move to eliminate other rivals in the clan to pander to the old man. He never expected his plans to be foiled due to a mistake. Initially, he thought that the old man's intention in cutting ties with Cang Gongzi was to identify the possible candidates that would collude with his son and dethrone him.
He never expected that the old man really intended to let go of all his earthly powers and authority to focus on his great cause in becoming God.
What good will becoming God bring? How could it compare to the sweet taste of power, authority, beautiful women, and alcohol?
Immortality? There were also ways to be immortal even if one lived in the realm of the ordinary.
As he thought of this, he made a decision with his teeth clenched. A black aura circled his glabella.
'I will go on my own!'
After Nie Yuan made this decision, he was no longer hesitant. With a flash of his silhouette, he now took the form of an ordinary young man, and subsequently left the Underground Kingdom quietly.
He had no idea that right in the sky above the Kingdom, the face of Elder Ancestor Bai flashed by, a crooked smile spread across his face.
The old rat had an ability similar to the System Map!
Whenever Giant Rats resided at a location, or anywhere Clan Energy emerged, Elder Ancestor Bai would have these places within his sight. It was basically a godly power. Everything that happened within the Giant Rats could no longer escape his eyes.
No wonder he was not afraid of any rioting Giant Rats.

Initially, he thought that the old man's intention in cutting ties with Cang Gongzi was to identify the possible candidates that would collude with his son and dethrone him.He never expected that the old man really intended to let go of all his earthly powers and authority to focus on his great cause in becoming God.What good will becoming God bring? How could it compare to the sweet taste of power, authority, beautiful women, and alcohol?Immortality? There were also ways to be immortal even if one lived in the realm of the ordinary.As he thought of this, he made a decision with his teeth clenched. A black aura circled his glabella.'I will go on my own!'After Nie Yuan made this decision, he was no longer hesitant. With a flash of his silhouette, he now took the form of an ordinary young man, and subsequently left the Underground Kingdom quietly.He had no idea that right in the sky above the Kingdom, the face of Elder Ancestor Bai flashed by, a crooked smile spread across his face.The old rat had an ability similar to the System Map!Whenever Giant Rats resided at a location, or anywhere Clan Energy emerged, Elder Ancestor Bai would have these places within his sight. It was basically a godly power. Everything that happened within the Giant Rats could no longer escape his eyes.No wonder he was not afraid of any rioting Giant Rats.
