When he heard this, Lin Ming immediately turned his head and looked next to himself.
The seat beside him was a lotus flower!
According to legend, Buddha sat on a lotus flower!
Who would have thought that the famous Buddha on Earth would also have a place here?
So were those big shots on Earth just the clones of the existences in the void?
Now, Lin Ming finally felt his previous insignificance.
Or rather, the insignificance of humans!
The people on Earth were so respectful even towards a clone.
Besides, even if the big shots were just clones, the humans on Earth didn’t have any ability to resist.
Their so-called high technology wasn’t even worth being considered a scratch before such existences!
“My birthday is today. It’s only dawn now, so you’ll have to wait for some time,” At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor spoke again.
“Dawn?” Lin Ming frowned.
“This place only has endless darkness, yet time is still calculated according to days like today and tomorrow?” Lin Ming couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course. No matter where one is, time exists. Although time seems unreal to us, sometimes, when we need to make promises and so on, time is still quite useful,” The Heavenly Emperor explained.
“Besides, we established clones in every world only to implement some rules,” The Heavenly Emperor explained, “The time, space, and some of the basic rules of the world have to be enforced by us. In other words, when a world had just been born, the creatures inside are all muddle-headed. At this time, someone needs to guide them.”
This explanation was extremely thorough.
It also made Lin Ming feel as if his mind had gone blank!
This was due to his realization that the lives of the many worlds had been led by the noses of others ever since they were born.
He had thought that he could live his life the way he wanted to, but in the end, it was all a joke!
“You guys are really…” At this moment, Lin Ming actually had the urge to curse.
“They have to thank us. After all, if they were left to evolve on themselves, although they would be able to develop cultivation methods and so on, that would’ve taken an extremely long time. However, because of our existence, they can complete their evolution in a very short time and possess extremely high intelligence. We can even casually give them cultivation methods that they can’t figure out even after hundreds of thousands of years,” The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand and said.
Saying this, the Heavenly Emperor could be said to be extremely proud.
He believed that all the lives in all the worlds should be grateful to him.
“They could have followed their path,” Lin Ming said faintly.
“Have you ever thought about why some creatures had existed for such a long time yet are not even as intelligent as human infants? Have you ever thought about why humans can stand at the top of the food chain and examine yourselves?” The Heavenly Emperor closed his eyes and asked.
“Do you know how many life forms and races are waiting for us to make a move and give them a blessing? Yet, you are still dwelling on such a childish question?” The Heavenly Emperor spoke once again.
Lin Ming had to admit that what the Heavenly Emperor said was somewhat reasonable, but they were only false reasoning.
“If the Heavens have emotions, even the Heavens would grow old. In fact, every race has the possibility of becoming highly intelligent. After all, humans aren’t the ones with the most talent in cultivation in many worlds. You can’t keep brainwashing me just because I’m human,” Lin Ming spread his hands and said.
“Oh right, senior, tell me, how long is a day here if based on the flow of time in my world?” Lin Ming changed the topic.
Lin Ming didn’t take what the Heavenly Emperor said just now to heart.
However, he was still unwilling to accept the matter of them setting the rules.
“One year on the ground is one day in the sky,” The Heavenly Emperor opened his eyes and said.
“But it’s not that long either,” Lin Ming nodded.
If Lin Ming was an ordinary human, he would have thought that one year was a long time.
However, even a cultivator who had just started cultivating wouldn’t think that one year was long.
Lin Ming was very familiar with the saying, “One year on the ground is one day in the sky”.
After saying this, Lin Ming closed his eyes.
Time passed quickly, and several auras appeared at the same time!
“Fellow friend!”
A few voices appeared.
Lin Ming stood up and looked at the few figures not far away.
One of them was shrouded in Buddhist light, and one could tell at a glance that he was Buddha.
The other one actually had no head.
Although Lin Ming had never seen him before, nor had he heard of this figure’s name from the Heavenly Emperor, he was still able to immediately know that this existence’s name was Xing Tian.
Furthermore, it was possible that he was the Heavenly Emperor’s sworn enemy.
There was another person whose hair was completely green, and another who held a chowrie with a cold expression on his face.
Among them, there was only one female, and she had the head of a human and the body of a snake!
It was a given that Lin Ming knew the name of this existence because her fame was too resounding!
She was Nuwa, the legendary saint who created humans!
“You are? You look very unfamiliar,” The green-haired existence glanced at Lin Ming and said.
“Are you senior Zhu Jiuyin?” Lin Ming asked.
Lin Ming could name the few figures that had appeared.
He was only uncertain about the green-haired existence in front of him.
“That’s right, it’s me,” The existence with green hair nodded and said.
“This is the young friend that I just made in the void,” The Heavenly Emperor said.
“You just recognized him as your friend and he’s already qualified to sit with us?” Zhu Jiuyin frowned and said with a cold snort.
“Well, he, of course, has great strength,” The Heavenly Emperor explained.
However, he only said this one sentence.
Lin Ming was not a fool. He could tell what the Heavenly Emperor was thinking!
“Today is the birthday of senior Heavenly Emperor. So I thought I just had to listen to his orders since he is the Master of this place,” Lin Ming immediately lowered his head and said.
The Heavenly Emperor wanted to frame him? Lin Ming would not allow that.
Now, Lin Ming had directly put the Heavenly Emperor himself as his front.
Since he wanted to use someone else to probe him, he might as well did this.
Unless the Heavenly Emperor could throw his dignity away and deny that today was his birthday as well as admit that he didn’t have the final say in this place, then only would Lin Ming be willing to play along..
