Thunderous Justice

As the Sun Temple withstood the excruciating pain of its body and soul being torn apart simultaneously during the fusion of the Xueluo Crystal, a thought suddenly flashed through Tang Ping's mind.

Now that his research on the Divine Power Path has reached the threshold of three hundred times the Gene Multiplier, wouldn't it be redundant to continue fusing with the Xueluo Crystal?

Not only do they have to endure excruciating torment, but the drain on their will and physique is also immense. The key issue is that the rate of increase in Gene Multiplier is incredibly slow compared to the research on Divine Power.

This being has cultivated diligently for thousands of years, barely managing to increase its Gene Multiplier to a little over 130 times with the help of the Xueluo Crystal; however, if the Divine Power Path is switched for modification, it can achieve the desired result in one step, directly pushing this being to a height of 300 times!

In the instant his thoughts were clear, Tang Ping unhesitatingly tossed aside the remaining Xueluo Crystal in his hand. Although this thing was useless to his main body, it was by no means a waste, and it was just right to give it to his Nether Sea Clone for analysis.

It is important to know that the Xueluo Crystal contains the complete bloodline genes of the legendary Gold Beast God.

If the Nether Sea Clone can thoroughly understand it, his research on Divine Power might break through the shackles and reach the limit of the Universe Master: 10,081 times the Gene Multiplier!

Terrifying!

Tang Ping immediately finalized the highest-level interstellar delivery service. While waiting for the courier to arrive, he looked around the empty Divine Temple and suddenly realized: if he didn't fuse with the Xueluo Crystal, he really had nothing to do.

The tasks of comprehending the laws and analyzing divine Divine Power, which are mentally and physically exhausting, can all be delegated to the Nether Sea Clone.

Of course, the Nether Sea Clone was originally a part of him.

Having figured this out, Tang Ping simply immersed ninety percent of his consciousness into the Initial Universe, allowing his clone to devote itself to research; as for his main body on the Solar System side, he simply let go of everything and focused on enjoying life.

"Guards! Keep the music playing, keep the dance going!"

At a single command, delicacies and fine wines from all over the Ganwu Universe Kingdom were poured into the Platinum Temple like a flowing river. The temple was filled with wine pools and meat forests, and the music and singing never stopped, turning this once cold and aloof Divine Temple into a paradise on earth.

Occasionally, when he glances up, he can see stunningly beautiful women from all races in the Milky Way Galaxy gathered in the hall, some singing and dancing gracefully, others smiling charmingly, each displaying their unique talents and engaging in open and covert struggles to win his favor.

Today they are best friends, arm in arm, but tomorrow they may argue fiercely over a hairpin or a seat, even getting into a physical fight.

Watching those goddesses, usually adored by millions, now stripped of their glamorous aura and acting like ordinary women, playing petty tricks and throwing tantrums, Tang Ping found it particularly amusing. He finally understood why ancient emperors, knowing full well the infighting among their concubines, still found enjoyment in it all.

Simply because I like it! Those three words are enough.

So much fun! Absolutely so!

For a time, the Platinum Temple in the Solar System became the envy of countless people in the universe.

"Damn it! This life is too absurd! When will it be my turn?!" Countless powerful figures gazed across the starry sky, their teeth itching with hatred.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye during this life of hedonism and decadence.

Tang Ping did not step out of the Divine Temple.

The grudges and entanglements within this small space are far more captivating than the laws of Chaos City. Every moment brings a new drama unfolding: a lost hairpin, a shattered jade bowl, stolen food, bickering maids—

Those seemingly delicate beauties, who were as close as sisters one moment, could draw their swords against each other the next, and then in the blink of an eye, could join hands and fight together against a new "love rival."

Wow, amazing!

On this day, Tang Ping was leaning back on a soft couch, listening to songs and dances while browsing interstellar news. Three pretty maids were busy feeding him fruit and massaging his shoulders when a series of steady footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Marquis Justice, dressed in black, walked in with a tall and straight posture and a dashing appearance.

"Greetings, King Anle!" As she bowed, her back remained ramrod straight, her eyes revealing not a trace of flattery, but rather an aura of dignified righteousness.

Tang Ping lazily raised his eyes. "Marquis Justice, you seem to have some free time today. Come, have a couple of drinks with me?"

Marquis Justice remained unmoved, his voice as cold as ice. "Your subordinate wishes to report this!"

"Oh?" Tang Ping became interested, raising an eyebrow. "Reporting whom? Could it be that the Solar System under my rule isn't a scene of peace and prosperity, where no one picks up lost items and everyone is singing and dancing?"

The usually cold and stern Marquis Justice's pretty face twitched slightly, a rare occurrence. She looked directly at Tang Ping, her tone filled with a hint of exasperation. "The one I'm reporting is you: King Anle! Since taking office, you've indulged in pleasure all day long, neglecting your duties, indulging in the company of Gentle ladies, and completely disregarding your responsibility to guard the capital!"

"How dare you!"

The maids beside him immediately changed their expressions and began to rebuke him. King Anle was their god, and this Marquis Justice had simply eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!

Tang Ping raised his hand to stop the maids' commotion and waved for them to leave.

He looked at the woman in front of him with great interest. She was dressed in black, her black hair was tied up, and she had bare feet. She was obviously beautiful and charming, but she also exuded a kind of awe-inspiring and heroic spirit.

At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and her gaze towards herself was filled with indignation and fearlessness.

"Marquis Justice," Tang Ping said leisurely, "I don't think I've ever offended you, have I? My mission is to oversee the Solar System. As long as this place is safe and secure, what difference is there between me staying in the Divine Temple and the King Iron Face remaining in seclusion all day?"

He was always patient with beautiful women. If it were a burly man who dared to question him like that, he would probably have been struck by lightning and turned into charred remains long ago.

Marquis Justice was speechless at his words, his bright eyes widening even more. No difference? Is that what you call proper seclusion?!

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and said firmly, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too! As the governor of a region, you lead the way in extravagance and pleasure, and the people below will naturally follow suit!"

For the past thousand years, which of the soldiers guarding the Solar System hasn't had multiple wives and concubines, bringing their families and relatives over? Now, extravagance is rampant throughout the Solar System, and it's already a chaotic and corrupt place!

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong with that? As long as they do their jobs well and find some enjoyment after work, they can balance work and rest. People aren't machines; they can't be without time to breathe, can they?"

"A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole! Don't you understand this principle?" Marquis Justice suddenly raised his voice, "Do you know what those soldiers' families and relatives are secretly up to? They don't understand the rules, and they can't resist temptations. They've long been targeted by interstellar smugglers!"

She paused, her voice filled with heartache. "At first, they only helped smuggle rare ingredients, luxury goods, and precision instruments, profiting by circumventing the Luo Family's tariffs;

Later, they grew increasingly audacious and began smuggling slaves and forbidden drugs, specifically for the extravagant spending of the wealthy and powerful.

Now, they've gone even further, actually bringing outsiders into Earth without permission and reselling production quotas at 10% of the market price!

This is blatantly damaging our bank's interests!

Tang Ping stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long pause, he suddenly said, "That's not right. I remember that the surveillance authority over the Solar System was handed over to you a long time ago. You should handle these matters directly; why do you need to come to me to complain?"

Upon hearing this, the Marquis Justice blushed with anger, her voice tinged with grievance. "How am I supposed to handle this? Those people were caught red-handed, yet they showed no fear whatsoever, instead arguing vehemently that even you, the King Anle, were involved! And they dared me to arrest you too!"

"Huh?" Tang Ping was dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me!

Each production quota on Earth is worth over three million Ganwu Coin. Even if he's desperate for money, he wouldn't bother making such a paltry profit, would he?

Slander!

"Bang!"

With a sudden burst of force from his palm, the pure gold chair shattered into dust. Tang Ping roared angrily, "Bring all those scum here! How dare anyone slander my reputation for loyalty, filial piety, integrity, and dashing good looks?"

Marquis Justice:

Seeing Tang Ping's furious but off-topic expression, she twitched her lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing more, only waving her hand. The next moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the open ground of the Divine Temple.

It was several subordinates dressed in the uniforms of the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, along with their family members. All of them were tightly bound by restraint ropes that gleamed with a ghostly blue light, their Origin Force sealed, and they couldn't even move an inch.

The moment they appeared, several people were terrified, collapsing to their knees with a thud and repeatedly kowtowing, begging for mercy. "King Anle, spare our lives! We know we were wrong! We are willing to compensate the Luo Family double for their economic losses, please have mercy!"

There was only one exception. Not only did he not beg for mercy, but he also glanced at the Marquis Justice with a look of pity and mockery, a strange smile playing on his lips.

With a wave of his hand, Tang Ping silenced the begging men, Teleportation teleporting to the man with the sinister smile. Standing with his hands behind his back, he calmly asked, "What are you laughing at?"

The man looked up, his face plastered with obsequiousness. "Reporting to King Anle, this subordinate is Li Ritian! This subordinate is pitiful; Marquis Justice is probably not going to live!"

"Oh?" Tang Ping raised an eyebrow, his tone playful. "Why couldn't she survive?"

"Because she's blocking your path to wealth!" Li Ritian's tone became increasingly sarcastic. "Everyone calls her the Marquis Justice, does she really think she's something special?"

She's just a minor Immortal God, what's with the airs of being virtuous and incorruptible? We come to work to earn money, don't we? Is she the one who's so high and mighty? But has this high and mighty attitude earned her extra resources from the company?

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping was somewhat surprised. "Li Ritian, that's a powerful name. But tell me, as a powerful King Rank expert, would I be short of such a paltry sum?"

Li Ritian's arrogance froze instantly, followed by a hint of panic. He shouted, his voice laced with bravado, "King Anle! You can't abandon me! I have evidence! If I were dead, I would have already set up Smart Sprite to automatically upload the evidence, and you won't get away with it then!"

"Hahahaha!" Tang Ping suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes full of mockery.

Let alone this insignificant Domain Lord, even if he killed Immortal God with a flick of his wrist, the company would at most issue a verbal warning. Moreover, the little bit of money the other party was greedy for was not even worth a speck of dust in his eyes.

But he patiently said, "Since you have evidence, then show it to me. I'd like to know how you harmed the company's interests."

Li Ritian trembled, knowing there was no way out, and hurriedly operated the smart terminal on his wrist with trembling hands. The next moment, a virtual projection floated in mid-air, and in the image, a pretty figure was giving orders in an imperious manner.

The figure instructed Li Ritian to deliberately leave an opening during his patrol, allowing a man to successfully infiltrate Earth. The man then took out a World Ring and released a pregnant woman to give birth. After the delivery, the mother and child were retrieved from the ring and taken away. The whole process was seamless and sometimes repeated several times a day.

"These pregnant women are at least at the Star Rank in cultivation, so they give birth extremely quickly," Li Ritian quickly added, his tone carrying a hint of boasting. "Each Earth production quota can be sold for over four million Ganwu Coin, which can earn hundreds of billions a year. Over several hundred years, that's enough to accumulate a Hunyuan Unit! Millions, tens of millions of years from now, even you would be tempted, wouldn't you?"

Tang Ping raised an eyebrow.

I never imagined this business would be so lucrative. You have to understand, even Peak World Lord Rank, after a million years of painstaking cultivation, might not have the Hunyuan of a mere Primordial Chaos Realm expert.

The gaze of the Marquis Justice beside him had changed, now carrying a hint of wariness and distance, and he even subconsciously took a half-step back.

Tang Ping shook his head helplessly and flicked his finger.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and a figure in White Clothes was grabbed from afar and landed steadily in his palm. It was an Angel Race maid named Tiantian. She was usually gentle and docile, never fighting or grabbing, and was quite popular among the maids. But now she was trembling with fear, looking pitiful.

"Your Majesty, you wanted to see me?" Tiantian's voice trembled, her pure eyes filled with fear.

Tang Ping pointed to the projection in mid-air and said calmly, "See for yourself."

Tiantian looked in the direction he pointed, her face instantly turning deathly pale. She collapsed to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty! I—I was forced! My parents forced me! They said if I didn't do it, they'd sever all ties with me! I had no choice!"

She kowtowed repeatedly, blood quickly streaming from her forehead, crying out, "Please, spare me! Consider all the years I've served you; even if I haven't done anything meritorious, I've certainly worked hard— Earthling, 'A day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness,' Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong, and I'm willing to return all the embezzled funds!"

Tang Ping sighed softly.

Having spent so much time together, they had developed some affection for each other. Seeing her tearful face, he truly couldn't bring himself to kill her.

"Boom!"

A bolt of golden lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking Tiantian precisely. As the lightning dissipated, her entire body was charred black, and the Universe Level aura that had surrounded her completely vanished, leaving her as a powerless mortal.

"Get out." Tang Ping said coldly.

Tiantian lay on the ground, barely alive, her former innocence and beauty completely gone. Hearing this cold rebuke, she didn't even have the strength to cry. She could only muster her last bit of strength to drag her broken body out of the hall, leaving a trail of blood behind her.

After dealing with Tiantian, Tang Ping turned to Marquis Justice, his tone impatient. "You are personally responsible for the subsequent recovery of the embezzled funds. You must investigate thoroughly and leave no one unpunished! Anyone who has betrayed the company should be reported directly to the company for further action!"

"Yes!" The Marquis Justice's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly bowed to accept the order.

"Gah?"

Li Ritian, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. The smugness and arrogance on his face froze instantly, replaced by a deep-seated fear.

Outside the hall, Tiantian, who was struggling to crawl, suddenly trembled, her vision went black, and she fainted.

Regret overwhelmed her like a tidal wave; she truly knew she had been wrong!

After Tiantian was taken away, Tang Ping immediately instructed, "Little Love, contact the Luo Family and inform the Milky Way Galaxy the maid Tiantian suffered a work injury while serving King Anle, and will henceforth receive 3,000 Galaxy Coin per month for child support."

"Receive."

Marquis Justice suddenly looked up at King Anle and felt a chill run down his spine.

That girl, with her looks and her prestigious title of being among the top ten in the Milky Way Galaxy, might have had a chance to rise above others. Now, she's probably doomed to never recover!

That's ruthless!
