If the humans were still here, then they would have stopped the Great Attractor from allowing Ye Li to do such a thing, but since they were gone and the Great Attractor had little intelligence, it was simple enough.
"Haven't you hurt many humans?"
"That's a rumor. I've never hurt humans, though I must admit I have hurt others."
After a few moments of hesitation, the Great Attractor nodded. "Fine, but only for a little."
Ye Li nodded and a Karma Spiral slowly moved towards the Great Attractor. Without issue, it entered her.
It moved around inside of her for a few moments, making her a little uncomfortable.
However, this was all she felt. Assuming Ye Li was looking at her past, she relaxed her guard.
As for Ye Li, he was not stupid enough to once again try and look into the Karma involving the powerful being. Perhaps he had been spared before, but he did not want to try his luck again.
Just as the Great Attractor let her guard down, Ye Li snapped.
In an instant, the dormant Karma Spiral activated, stripping the Great Attractor of Karma. The Great Attractor reacted almost instantly, making the Karma Spiral bounce off of her.
However, that single moment had provided Ye Li with Karma equivalent to that of fully stripping five normal sages.
It was not the majority of the Great Attractors Karma, but it was still an extremely large amount. Her eyes dimmed, clearly losing more than just some Karma. Years of work from the caretakers were reduced to nothing as the Great Attractor seemed to have even less intelligence than before.
Green specks of light exited her body and formed a human on her shoulder. His eyes were furious, far more furious than a normal living being should ever be.
It was as if Ye Li had just smacked his revered mother in the face.
"You disgusting fool! Do you even understand who you're harming? This is the origin of humanity! No human should even imagine harming such a holy figure, evil or good!"
Ye Li looked at him with disdain. "What does humanity have to do with me?"
As he spoke, multiple attacks tore through space and came towards him.
Ye Li, prepared, disappeared.
At some point, the Cosmic Sect had detected him, and he had detected that they had detected him.
Most likely, Third Eye Star Seer could directly detect him with such a small distance as long as he did not completely hide his Karma.
Regardless, the gain today made up for his battle with Ying Xiong and more.
Through preplanned teleportation arrays, Ye Li returned to the Karmic Cage. It had grown greatly over the many years, slowly being honed and grown as Ye Li gained Karma.
It had gotten to the point that random beings had managed to stumble upon the Karmic Cage. Of course, they were all cleanly taken care of.
Ye Li sat in the center of it all and digested his gains. Everything was going well, as it had always been destined to be.
For the time being, he would lay low. Once he reached the peak of the equivalent of the Sage realm, he would act again.
Yhwh continued his path smoothly as well. All he needed was the faith of others, and he had long known how to get it most effectively.
The entire universe knew of him by now. He had the equivalent of half of a universal sector believing in him. His influence could be described as just below the Cosmic Sect and the Outsiders.
He also had more and more powerful believers, though none had touched upon the level of a sage.
His strongest believer was at the early levels of the Outer World Realm. Still a cultivator rare throughout history, but nothing crazy.
Not much could be said about Yhwh's path besides that it was simple and easy to follow. There was nobody competing for the faith of these people, as he was the only one that walked this path.
He also did not need to kill or harm anyone, he just needed their faith. He could peacefully grow, bringing only joy to others.
It was a rare path that not only did not harm, but helped others. All those connected to Yhwh could feel him by their sides at all times.
Calamities were avoided, lives were saved, countless people that would have died were saved by Yhwh's power of faith. As time passed, more and more people would be born and grow to a high cultivation level. Those who would have died early on in life would now be able to fulfill their potential.
The lowest death rate in the universe was in the area that Yhwh's faith had spread throughout. This made it even easier to gain the faith of those outside this area.
Even those that didn't believe in him, such as sages or people in other universal sectors, respected him immensely for his actions and the peace he brought to others.
He was a complete opposite of Ye Li, someone who brought only death and destruction.
Years passed.
It was a tiny amount of time for cultivators, but to Ye Li and Yhwh, it felt like an entire life.
The level of the Sage realm was not so easily surpassed. Only after a hundred million years of laying low did Ye Li reach the Peak of the Sage realm. Dealing with some matters and creating different ways to use Karma, he spent an additional 10 million years preparing himself. This included comprehending Karma on a deeper level.
Surprisingly, Yhwh was able to actually catch up. It was not only due to increased effort on his part, but on the part of the Cosmic Sect and the Outsiders.
Yhwh had completely come clean about his path. Some had been shocked, while others had accepted it. They also understood that the enemy was also like this.
With his secret out, Yhwh received the assistance of countless beings to spread his faith.
