While they were whispering to each other, Mendoza arrived in front of the table. Looking around, he found a seat that he thinks and looks comfortable, so he went to the one sitting on that chair and said, "get up.".
The one sitting on that chair, the young man with a gentle face frowned.
All the people in the room are prepared to attack in a moment of notice. Actually, they're not that afraid. After all, from what they discovered from this Mendoza, he's just a lowly Immortal. And in this room, all of them already exceeded that realm. The weakest of them is the young woman who already became an Immortal Lord. So for them, a single Immortal wont be able to do anything in this room. That's why some of them couldn't help but snicker at this stupid idiot when he acted like a bandit in front of the young man with a gentle face.
"Excuse me?" the young man with gentle face asked.
"I said get up." Mendoza answered bluntly.
Hearing this, the young man with gentle face smiled and released all of his aura at the maximum output, then focused it on the stupid idiot in front of him. Seeing this, the other people in the room smiled.
"What was that again? You want me get up? Why don't you force me?"
Looking at the smug face of the young man with gentle face, Mendoza's eyes twitched. So, without warning he lifted his hand and smack the face of the young man! Pak! Before anyone in the room could even react, he already lifted his hand again and smacked the face again! Pak! And again! And again! And again! Pak!
When Mendoza lifted his hand for the nth-time, the young man with the gentle face is already prepared and decided to protect his face with a thick and compressed Immortal Qi. But, to his surprise, Mendoza's hand suddenly released some black smoke and all the protection the young man tried to use, vanished! When everything was gone, Mendoza lifted his hand again and smacked his face. But this time, the black smoke was gone and was replaced by thick amount of purple lightning. It was crackling, and buzzing like a disaster compressed in a single palm!
Under the shocked expression of the people in the room, Mendoza smacked the guy in the face! PAK! The young man's body slam to the wall with blood splattered around. He's body's not moving, but based from what their mind, spiritual and Immortal senses, the young man should be alright. He just need a couple of months and he'll be back to normal.
Mendoza didn't bother at their feelings and directly sat on the chair, smiling like an idiot because of the comfortable feeling it gives. I should have this in my office when I get promoted, he thought.
"Beautiful auntie, can I also have a tea?" Mendoza smiled. "And those cookies are fcking delicious by the way."
The Heavenly Demi-God, the maid, smiled and started preparing the tea. And when she's done, she elegantly put it on the table and let Mendoza taste it.
"Damn! Your tea is always good!" Mendoza smiled.
The Maid titled her head slightly, looking beautiful and kinda cute the same time.
"I don't think, we have met before?" she said confused.
"Oh.. we did." Mendoza grinned. "I even told you, I'll marry your daughter."
Hearing this, the maid and the young woman sitting on the main seat, paused a little and looked at Mendoza at the same time. Then the young woman breathed a sigh immediately became calm like nothing actually happened. The same goes for the maid.
She just smiled and looked at Mendoza.
"I don't have a daughter though."
Mendoza looked at the young woman, then to the maid, and smiled.
"I'm gonna wait then. I'm sure she's going to be beautiful, sexy, and quite lovely at that time."
The maid was silent for a couple of seconds before smiling naturally. She elegantly stood behind the young woman, and acted like everything was normal.
"Anyway, I came here becau-" before Mendoza could even finish what he's talking, the guy with a bushy beard glared at him and started talking.
"Are you treating us like an air?" the bushy beard guy's aura exploded and the whole place trembled. All the people in the room immediately felt the power of an Immortal King that's on the verge of becoming a Demi-God. "After you beat one us, you acted like nothing happened? Do you wanna die?"
Seeing the ferocious bushy beard guy, Mendoza remained calm and looked at the people in the room.
"I didn't come here to fight though?"
"Ohh.." the bushy beard guy smirked. "When I was silent before, you acted like a king, but when I show my strength you suddenly acted like an innocent kid. You don't wanna fight?"
Mendoza rolled his eyes.
He really didn't come here to fight. The reason he beat that gentle face guy was because that fcking shit offended him before. That piece of shit did that repeatedly, and now that he saw his face again, Mendoza had the urge to beat the crap out of that guy. Unfortunately, there are currently no one, as in NO ONE in the entire universe that could remember that.
"Bushy beard uncle, please don't be narcissist." Mendoza said flatly. "You're not that strong."
After the last word came out of Mendoza's mouth, a huge pressure descended in the whole room forcing those with weaker body and cultivation to bow their heads. Boom! At the same time, black smoke started covering Mendoza's body like it was making a cocoon.
From the perspective of everyone, even though they could not see that well, they could tell that Mendoza's hair is getting longer and longer. At his forehead, two huge horns started to grow until it reached the back of his head. Flowery like tattoos started to appear in his shoulder up to his chest, his nails and his eyes all turned black. Leaving only the pupils that turned dark red with vertical lines in it, making it look like the eyes of a predator. At the same time, four huge black tails spurted out of his back giving him an eerie appearance.
His transformation only lasted for almost a second, and after that, the smoke vanished. At the same time, the pressure that they're experiencing tripled, making some of the men slammed their knees on the ground creating cracks on the floor! Their is also a huge force that forces their heads to bow down!
Looking at the handsome face of Mendoza, all the females in the room was startled and looked at him again. The amount of charm and charisma this guy possess almost made all the females in the room to fall in love with him. But that's not all, a sweet smell that's coming out of his body added to the almost unbearable charm of this guy have, made it even more hard to resist to be attractive to him.
Some of the weak minded females in the room already lost it. They have the eyes that look at Mendoza like he was the most amazing person in the whole universe. For them, dying for his sake doesn't sound so bad. Even though they just met, they don't really care anymore. Just looking at him made their body tremble and be excited. They could feel their precious flowers becoming wet, and silently preparing to entertain the entrance of the king. Imagining that they're being ravage by that muscular body made their breathing ragged and hurried. How good it to be ravage by him, they thought.
Seeing the delirious faces of some of the women in the room, the young woman bit her lips and tried her best to not look at Mendoza. She also tried her best not to breath so she wont get affected. After a while, when she made sure that she was calm, she looked at the maid behind her and silently order her to release all of them.
The maid nodded, looked at the room, and clapped her hands twice. Clap! Clap!
It was like a huge explosions happened in everyone's mind, making those who heard them became calm and clear minded.
Coming back to their senses, those females that was thinking irrational things just now became scared. They looked at Mendoza and started backing away. They circulated their Immortal Qi to its limit, while also using their highest Meditation Technique to calm their minds.
"Please, stop looking at me like that." Mendoza smiled bitterly. "I didn't mean to do that."
Actually, Mendoza still cant control this part of him. Since he became an Immortal, his sweet smell, voice, and looks became way too destructive, that anyone who's not prepared or those weak minded would immediately became horny or fall in love with him. And that's him, trying to suppress it with all he's got. If he released his all, even men in this room would act like bitches in the heat. Imagining some things happened in the past, Mendoza's body trembled a little bit.

"Anyway, as you can see.." Mendoza smiled and looked at everyone in the room. "If I really wanted to, it would be very easy to kill all you. Of course, there are some exception. I cant beat mother-in-law since she's a Demi-God, and even if I can, I wont do it. As for the beardy li'l shit, if I went all out, and use all my resources, I could easily kill you as well. So, in conclusion.... all of you are way too easy to kill, so stop acting like a fcking bitches and listen to what I have to say."
Since the maid, a Demi-God, isnt attacking Mendoza, and now they learned that they cant defeat him, they decided to listen to what he wanted to say. Also they are curious. From what they remember, there was no cultivator in the God and Immortal Realm like him. They never heard of an Immortal with the capability to kill Lords and Kings, and from how this guy acted, Mendoza must have killed uncountable numbers of Immortals, Lords, and Kings, then why cant they remember that there was a cultivator like him? Another thing is, even though it was only shown by a fraction of a seconds, they noticed that he has a powerful bloodline thats comparable to even God Kings. And to be honest, for some of them, specially for the maid, that bloodline was quite familiar. She just cant explain or remember why?
Looking at the behave people in front of him, Mendoza smiled and breathed a sigh.
"Since you guys are calm now, lets continue the meeting." Mendoza said while looking at the young woman. "Well then, Sana? Can I hear what you wanted to say earlier?"
The young woman, Sana, frowned and looked at Mendoza with a hint of kill intent.
"... How do you know my name?"
"You told me that yourself, silly." Mendoza gently smiled.
Sana frowned even more. What a liar, she thought. This is the first time they met, so why the hell is this guy acting like they're friends? Seeing the smile of this pervert annoys her even more.
"Well, it doesn't matter." Mendoza smiled bitterly while shaking his head. Then he pointed at the young man with a gentle face. "By the way, I also know that shit. He's the beloved son of God Zofan and Goddess Flerra. A hypocrite who likes act gentlemanly, but is in fact a murderous pervert. He likes to go to Immortal and Mortal Realm, look for a beautiful woman, then rape her and play with her until he got bored. One of the most fcked up piece of shit I've ever met, Immortal Lord Zerra."
Mendoza looked around the room and smiled.
"Am I wrong?"
The whole room turned silent.
Actually there are a rumours about that, but no one was really sure if that was really the case. But according to some of the informative younger generation in the God Realm, Zerra being a pervert, is the truth. There was even a fcking evidence! But since he's the favorite son of the Gods, most of the people in the God Realm remained quiet. After all, who in their right minds would want to mess with Gods?
Seeing the people in the room became silent, Mendoza smiled started to get to the point.
"Anyway, I came here because I know that Sana might make a wrong decision." then he looked at Sana and smiled. "And, no. I'm not doubting you, its just that I know that you would want to advance the project faster because of some matters."
When Sana heard the words, 'advance the project faster because of some matters', her body trembled and avoided Mendoza's eyes. She didn't know if Mendoza knows, but she still cant help but be a little bit guilty.
"Thats why I'm here to correct it."
From what Sana wanted to do earlier, the moment number one unlocked his sixth meridian, she would open the first floor of the tower to let number one train there and advance his realm faster. But for Mendoza, thats the most stupid thing to do!
First, by opening the first tower earlier just for the sake of one person, although the energy is abundant, it would not last that long. Wasting the energy of the tower just to strengthen one person, and limiting the other cultivators that would arrive in the tower later, would be unfair and a huge waste! Second, while Mendoza was having a tour around this planet, he noticed many people who has the talent and potential to reach the top. But because of some problems in their body, a late bloomer for example, these people that can become stronger would have lesser time to spend in the tower. Limiting their potential.
Third, and the true reason, is because there's a guy that he really needed to help. That guy's talent is way too average, to the point that even though he cultivated for ten days non-stop, he still only opened his second meridian. He's way too hopeless, and Mendoza really having an urge to use all his treasures just to boost his talent, foundation, cultivation speed, and other things that has connection to cultivation. But he knows he cant do that. So, he could only let him work hard on his own, and enter the Tower at the same time as those talented cultivators. With the same starting point, he would have the chance to become one of the front runners and become the strongest.
Of course the third reason cant be spoken to anyone.
"That's why, I'm advising you all to delay the opening of the Tower for a month." Mendoza smiled. "Once number one unlocked his sixth meridian, announce to everyone that the Tower will open in a month. And everyone who unlocks their meridians within a month would have a chance to enter the Tower."
Sana frowned and asked.
"What about those who unlocked their sixth meridian after a month? Would they still be allowed to enter?"
"Of course" Mendoza grinned. "But like what was planned, let it be open for only three months. Once the three months passed, even if they unlocked their sixth meridian, they would not be allowed to enter. After all, what your superiors really wants are the strongest of the strongest. If they cant even unlocked their sixth meridian even after four to five months after they received the cultivation, then they're practically useless. Right?"
"If we're talking about that, then isn't it those mortals fault that they're not fast and talented enough like number one?" Sana snorted. Of course she knows that his reasoning was flawless, but she couldn't help but disagree with him for some reasons.
"I told you the reasons already. Waste of energy, limiting the potential of other cultivators, and to be honest, it would be quite... boring." Mendoza sighed. "If number one entered the Tower alone, how do you expect him to grow stronger without competition? Let me remind all of you. A person would not grow alone. One always needed a companion that he could talk to, rival that could push their limits, people that he could empathize with."
Mendoza looked around and said seriously.
"Cultivation isn't just about tempering the body, but also the mind and soul of a person. And one cant accomplish it all alone. That's why I want all of you to be patient. After all, sharpening the axe wont delay the work."
After some more discussion, the meeting of the Immortals ended. Even though some things became a bit more complicated than usual, its still a "happy" discussions that produced a proper and amazing results. Finalizing things, and making sure those orders are properly implemented, the Immortals then decided to leave the Palace of Trees and relax a little bit in their comfort places.
When everyone left, only four people remained in the meeting room. Sana, Lina, the maid, and Mendoza.
Sighing a little bit, Mendoza stretched his body and looked at the three ladies in front of him. Memories of the things that happened in the past surfaced in his mind, silently making him smile. Suddenly, he remembered that he actually have a few things that could be useful for the three. So without hesitation, he took out three things from his soul space and put it on the table.
Seeing that something popped up on the top of the table, the three ladies looked at Mendoza with different expression on their faces.
"These are gifts I prepared for you all." Mendoza smiled then manipulated the three objects and passed it to the three. "The Purified Soul Orb contains the souls of the most wicked Immortals in the Immortal Realm. I killed them all and took their souls, then purified it with Nirvana flame until it became pure enough to consume. It would be best for you Lina, it can strengthen your soul to its very limit. And also perfect for your unique cultivation.
For Sana, since you just became a Lord, this Thousand Immortals Blood is best for you. It can build a proper foundation that you needed right now. It can also hasten your cultivation speed if you want to. Though I would advice you to use it to build a proper foundation. After all, a proper foundation is the best way to reach a higher realm.
For auntie, I have a stone here. With auntie's cultivation, I'm sure I don't need to explain what it is, right?"
The expressions of the ladies are quite different from each other, making Mendoza smile with amusement.
When Lima learned that it was Purified Soul Orb, she was apathetic at first. But when she heard it contains the souls of Immortals, she immediately wanted to grab it take it home. But she couldn't do that, accepting a gift from strangers isn't good. Specially since that stranger is hated by her boss, and her boss haven't said anything about accepting the gifts yet. That's why she could only look at Purified Soul Orb with glittering eyes, and be patient while waiting for her boss, Sana, to state her opinion.
Sana on the other hand, is also having the urge to accept the gift. After all its the Thousand Immortals Blood. A treasure that could only be made by killing thousands of Immortals and taking their blood and life essence, then turning it into a crystal. This treasure could help even those in Immortal Kings to build a proper foundation. And from the looks of it, this crystal was also purified by the Nirvana Flame! Meaning, consuming this crystal would not give any kind side effects, but instead strengthen its properties, making it even more higher quality crystal.
As for the maid, she is a Demi-God. A Heavenly Demi-God that's on the verge of becoming a God. For her, there are only few things that could make her interested. After all, the things that Immortal Kings treasured, are only but toys for her. So seeing that she also received a gift, she never expected it to be some kind of treasure that would be useful for her. But she was thinking of accepting it anyway since she and this guy, Mendoza, have some kind of connection. She just don't know what that connection means.
The thing is though, when she saw a common looking rock, she was quite confused. Even if Mendoza didn't have any that would interest her, it doesn't mean he could gift her a common rock. She didn't know if she should cry or laugh because of that. But when the stone flew near her, her expression change and heart started beating faster.
In that stone, she could feel the Laws of Universe spiraling inside it. It feels like there is a universe inside of that stone. This feeling made her remember about a stone that could help those Immortal kings to become Demi-Gods, Demi-Gods to become Gods, and Gods to become a higher God. Its a stone that only a few Gods have, and mostly taken by God Kings and Supreme. With this treasure, becoming a God would be even easier more simple!
The three ladies looked at Mendoza with a complex emotions in their eyes. But Mendoza smiled and prepared to leave. When three ladies wanted to say something, Mendoza already left, leaving only a few sentences.
"If you ladies aren't happy about the gifts, you can just throw it away and feed it to the dogs or something. Its not that important anyway."
Hearing this, the ladies couldn't help but smile bitterly and accept the gifts silently. After all, feeding this treasures to the dogs would be a huge waste.
