Chapter 2568 – Child of the Cosmos
Tianming’s lifebound beasts were like his siblings—no, more than that.
“I missed you too. We missed you.” He lovingly stroked Ji Ji’s short pink hair. “You’ve worked hard this time around and you deserve a rest.”
He didn’t think that Ji Ji would be the kind to feel lonely. He usually had many beasts by his side anyway, so he never truly knew what it was like to be apart from people for a long time. That also reminded him of Sixth. It’d chosen solitude from the moment of its hatching and had never shown up since. Tianming had no way of knowing how things would play out with it; if there was one thing he knew, however, it would be that no matter beast or human, those around him were his cherished family. As long as he was with them, he would have no regrets.
Feiling, Ying Huo, Xian Xian, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, and Yin Chen welcomed Ji Ji back. It didn’t take long before they started playing around again. The Sun had also entered the Myriadstar Zone.
“Let’s begin!” Tianming finally put the crucial plan into action. Within the Myriadstar Zone were quite a few deific-class worlds, and hundreds of skypiercer-class ones! The other nine-thousand-plus were heliacal class. The Star Hunters had only taken two skypiercer-class worlds, so most of the wealth within the zone was still secure. A mere skypiercer-class world like the Sun entering the zone, especially while cloaked, didn’t make any waves at all.
“Everyone! Our home, the Sun, is embarking on the path of a complete transformation! It’ll turn into a world hundreds of times more glorious than it is now! Our descendants will be able to become ascendants, or even astral gods. They’ll be far better off than we are and enjoy lifespans of thousands of years. Some will even have a chance to lengthen it to ten thousand years or beyond! As such, I assure you that resetting the twenty-year progress of building our new home is worth it for the millions of years to come!”
Tianming informed everyone in the Sun about the changes through his omnisentient threads. The billions of lifeforms within the Sky Palace cheered in unison and fervor. Their words resonated with the omnisentient threads, almost as if they were giving their full support to Tianming. The more stable the threads were, the more energy he would be able to hold! It was nothing short of true solidarity, something that was unheard of in the wider cosmos. Tianming was the only person to have inherited the legacy of the Primordial God-Emperor in the entire universe; such an honor belonged to him alone!
Currently, his world was still small and his people were weak. He was merely in the astral god phase. But as long as everyone stood with him and kept on channeling their faith toward him, he would grow ever stronger. At the same time, his powerful streams of order would in turn benefit everyone connected to him through the threads. In fact, countless people’s heavenly and divine wills had experienced a sudden growth the moment he returned.
“All hail Tianming, favored child of the cosmos!” Tens of thousands of people chanted that slogan with the firmest conviction.
Tianming felt their excitement pouring into his astrons. “The Sun shall embark on its new path!” He used the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to control the fusion formation, causing it to extend the Flameyellow Divine Pillars. Those were the so-called solar lances from before that had caused immeasurable grief to Skywolf. The people within the Sky Palace Formation saw many crimson-gold pillars rise from the ground, piercing through the clouds above, then through the astralguard formation, and finally into a new world. It was truly a majestic sight as their world turned into a space urchin. Not even Lin Xiaodao had seen anything like it and his reaction was to curse in disbelief. Lin Zhongtian and Lin Zhonghai were just as stupefied, rubbing their eyes nonstop.
“What in the world is this? What kind of fusion formation can change its shape like that?” Lin Xiaodao didn’t have nearly enough control over the fusion formation of Gladeus to pull off something like that. To puny human cultivators, even the skypiercer-class spiky sun seemed incredibly huge.
“Even a fallen ether-class world wouldn’t have lances like these. Their nova source absorption efficiency would be roughly that of Gladeus’ at best. Won’t it take at least a month for the absorption to prevent casualties among the populace?” Yet Tianming had told Lin Xiaodao that he would likely only need three days! He didn’t really believe that claim, so he came to see it with his own eyes.
Tianming was worried that the absorption would trigger so many tremors that the people within the Sky Palace Formation would be badly affected, so he started with a heliacal-class world. It wasn’t an unfamiliar process. The Sun sucked up nova source by using its lances like straws. They were capable of easily piercing the core of the ownerless world through Tianming’s control and it didn’t take long before the Sun began to suck up all the nova source with incredible suction.
Tianming and Lin Xiaodao watched the vibrant green world rapidly shrinking. Within half an hour, the transport formation around it had completely collapsed, and even the green nova source around the world wasn’t able to escape being sucked through the Flameyellow Divine Pillars.
“That’s one!” It wasn’t much, but it was a wonderful start.
“Holy shit!” Lin Xiaodao’s face was filled with excitement. He felt his hairs stand even though he was within the Gladean Ruins, completely enchanted by the colorful sun. “Lin Feng, that bastard…. Guess I have no choice but to believe that the Sun truly is a fallen world that used to be on par with, or even superior to Ebonia! He might as well take Gladeus while he’s at it! Who knows? The astralguard formation of Gladeus might not even compare to the Sun’s!”
He was completely convinced. “Come to think of it, the Gladean Ruins is an infinitum-class astralship… Perhaps Gladeus used to be infinitum class as well.” He was even more certain of his inner musings now.
