Chapter 1905
Chapter 1905
The sun had suddenly and completely changed. Even from the Divine Moon Realm or the Flameyellow Continent, it clearly seemed like it was surrounded by a reddish gold barrier of some sort that caused it to no longer give out energy and light. Upon closer inspection, it was clear to see that a kind of dense energy flowed among the flaming clouds, forming a huge barrier that was tens of thousands of meters wide. Countless ethereal beasts swam about within the flames, densely packed together. It was like a paradise of beasts.
As far as anyone was aware, celestial orderians included, they didn’t think that the astralguard formation could be something on this scale. It looked no different from a wall made of layers of thick steel, containing some kind of hard-to-discern energy. The only thing they were sure of was that the formation seemed to use nova source to power itself, and the consumption was no doubt on the high end. All worlds had a limited supply of nova source that could be exhausted one day, so using it correctly became an important topic of debate for countless generations. However, the sun emperor’s current reign over the sun was unchallenged, so nobody could stop him.
……
The Divine Sun Palace cruised along the bottom layer of the defensive formation.

“The Flameyellow Guard Formation is both a defensive formation and a force of destruction! The fact that it exists shows that this star world’s pre-antiquity records are true!” the sun emperor excitedly proclaimed with his arms wide open.
“We won’t have to fear Skywolf with it around, right?” the sun empress asked, her eyes shining from the glow of the formation.
“Fear?” The sun emperor loudly chuckled and turned back to his empress. “Everything is going according to plan. There’s never been a need to fear them. In fact, they should fear me! Just wait and see. When these so-called hunters arrive, we’ll put on a good show for them.”
The sun empress was quite relieved to see so much confidence in him. At the very least, this’ll be a deterrent that can drive Skywolf away…. Not long after, she recalled someone else and said, “I just got word that Li Tianming managed to enter the Sky Palace Formation. Is he trying to kill the voidheart worm and obtain half the solar core?”
“It’s pointless. With the Flameyellow Guard Formation, I managed to walk one step ahead of him.”
“I see….” What she left unsaid was that the celestial orderians would be much safer if they managed to control both formations. “This should be the end of the war, right?” she said, looking at the war-torn ground beneath them.
“No more. From now on, the sun will be ruled by a single will. There’ll be no conflict or war.” Nobody would be powerful enough to challenge his will. “In fact, you’ll never guess what kind of hidden potential this ancient star of ours has….” His laughter echoed throughout the stormy flaming clouds outside.
……
In the solar core, Tianming found himself in a world of pure white. Not a single speck of dust could be seen. There was nothing but the wooden building itself, and it didn’t seem far off. He felt a little nervous when he saw that unknown, yet strangely familiar building. What kind of existence was it for it to exist within the solar core itself? Was it a divine artifact? A plain building? Or some kind of illusion conjured by his mind? He would get his answer inside.
He approached it one step at a time. In a daze, he found himself standing before the wooden door. Looking at the old door, he felt like he was back at Flamehaven. That was the only place he remembered that had simple doors like these without any divine patterns carved on them, whereas in Orderia, even the doors of common buildings were reinforced with divine formations.
“Let’s do it!” He was finally here. There was no need to hesitate. He stretched his black arm out and lightly pushed the door apart. It loudly squeaked, probably from ages of neglect. Some dust seemed stuck between the frame and the door, which fell off when the door was disturbed. Thankfully, it wasn’t the child spawns of the voidheart worm.
He gave the door a harder push and saw a sight that he more or less expected. The interior was wooden, just like the exterior. He closed the door behind him and looked around. This was the outer part of the building and had nothing more than a single bench and table. On the wall opposite him were two small doors, beyond which were two ‘bedrooms’, which made up the inner part of the building. Tianming wasn’t in a rush to enter them, though, as there was already something interesting in the outer building.
There was an ink painting hanging between the two smaller doors that was covered in dust, which almost made him pass over it. Looking closer, he felt that the painting was the key to the wooden building. In fact, it was a painting into which caeli could go!
He came up to the painting and stretched his right palm toward it, attempting to wipe the dust off of it, but it didn’t work no matter what he tried. It was as if the layer of dust had fused with the painting with the passing of time.
“I can’t wipe it off?” Without doing so, he wouldn’t be able to clearly see the painting, yet he didn’t dare to use too much force lest it ruin the painting. “That’s right, what about trying with my left hand?”
He hadn’t used it in the beginning, as it was far too rough and crude. But when he recalled the Sky Plundering Palace, he had a gut feeling that the wooden building had something to do with the sky plunderers. That fact alone gave him quite a bit of excitement; after all, he was a sky plunderer to begin with. It was a most important part of his bloodline and origins, and any clue that could lead him closer to his lost legacy made him crave it more and more.
As he rubbed the painting with his left arm, it grew clearer and clearer. The painting depicted quite a lot of things, chief of which was a circular shape in the very middle of it. The other aspects of the painting seemed centered around the circle in the middle.
“I wonder if the circle represents a star world….” If that were the case, the other aspects of the painting wouldn’t be hard to decipher. The many black dots probably represented people, and the outer ring around the circle represented the astralguard formation. There were some other weird objects surrounding the circle that seemed quite sizable.
“Are those divine astralships?” He touched the painting again and noticed something odd.
