Chapter 1931
It was Sovereign Sanctquility"s first time meeting Tianming. Seeing his white hair, her eyes brightened with a desire for conquest. She couldn"t wait to bag herself that young thing.
"There"s not much for us to talk about. If you really want a conversation, have your people stand down." Those were Tianming"s first words to her, and they were rather cold.
"Not an issue," she chuckled and agreed right away. Then the wolf-shaped divine astrals.h.i.+p roared. The six hundred million troops heeded their orders and remained fixed on the spot, much to Tianming"s surprise. For a charge of their scale to be stopped with a single order was a huge sign of respect toward Tianming.
She must have ulterior motives to be willing to go this far, he thought. He gave her a plain look, whereas the sovereign shamelessly looked him up and down and had her fill without holding back. Perhaps that was just part of her personality. "Now, speak!"
"You should understand that just because you managed to kill the voidheart worm and bring up your astralguard formation, you still stand zero chance against Skywolf, right? Even though our ancestors failed to invade your world before, today is different," Sovereign Sanctquility said.
"It"s still too early for you to say that. What else do you have for me?"
"I caught a few celestial orderians before, and according to what they said, you’re a rare decabane, young and filled with future potential."
"A decabane"s just "rare" for you?" Tianming smirked.
"Definitely not just rare. Looks like you’re aware that decabanes don"t just spontaneously appear." Her troops patiently waited as she unhurriedly spoke her piece. "Your name is Li Tianming, and your talent is unmatched across the cosmic aether.... Not only that, we believe that your bloodline doesn"t originate from this world. You"re nothing like the natives here at all. This world has nothing to do with you, so you don"t have to die with them. Why don"t you come to Skywolf? Become one of ours and you"ll gain far more power and status than you ever could here."
"Are you kidding? Over here, I"m the master of this world, but in Skywolf, I"d be nothing more than a servant. Not to mention, I’m a native born and raised in this world. This is my home. You can dream on if you want me to surrender to you and betray my homeland. If all you came here to do is bore me, we might as well just keep fighting!"
"Hahahaha...." She couldn"t help but laugh after hearing what he had said. "You really are a cute one. I haven"t seen any type like you before. So young, so talented, and so cute...." Her chuckling lasted for quite a while longer before she continued, "Don"t be stupid, kid. The master of this world is the sun emperor. As far as I"m aware, your Myriad Solar Sects have been completely wiped out. You"re nothing but part of the remnants of a losing team. I know you hate the sun emperor, so I"m giving you this chance to join us. We can help you kill the sun emperor!"

"After that you"ll make me the king of the sun and retreat back from whence you came? If we won"t ever meet again, that would be a good deal."
"You truly are naive.
"You were naive enough to ask me to join you in the first place."
"I"ll be frank with you. There"s a terrifying force backing Skywolf, the likes of which you can"t even fathom. It’s a superior astral world, a home to true elites! We’re able to send you to that place. If you are interested, I can let you witness what kind of world it is as proof." She seemed really serious as she talked about it, yet she didn"t realize that what she’d said had cleared up some of Tianming"s doubts.
Skywolf hadn"t revealed the fact that Tianming was a decabane to the mysterians and wanted the credit of presenting him to the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter! Sending him straight to the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter instead of reporting and waiting for an envoy from there to fetch him away was completely different. In the former case, they would do all of it themselves and gain all the credit. If they captured a heliacal-cla.s.s world in the process, they would earn even more merit! The mysterians would surely rather have him sent over than send their own people to pick him up.
In other words, the Mysterium Cl.u.s.ter and Skywolf aren"t communicating about me at all. That way, the decision to ask the mysterians for help lay with Tianming alone. The specters of Skywolf were completely ignorant about everything, other than the fact that he was a decabane. All they knew was what they had learned from the celestial orderians. Tianming could still decide whether he would submit to the mysterians before Orderia was defeated.
He took a deep breath and asked, " What happens if I refuse?" He mustered all the distrust he could and made it apparent on his face.
"I never expected you to agree right on the spot. That’s fine. As long as you want to protect this world instead of abandoning it to escape, we still have a chance to take you with us. Once you arrive at the world I told you about, you’ll thank us," Sovereign Sanctquility said. In other words, whether Tianming cooperated with them or not, they would be taking him away. Little did she know that he’d already seen many mysterians and had learned about their world long ago.
"I see. Guess there"s nothing else to say. If you want to take me and the sun, be ready to trade billions of lives for it!" he coldly snapped.
Even that only earned him the laughter of Sovereign Sanctquility. She shook her head as she laughed, awed by his apparent naivete for thinking he had a say in the things that went on in his life while he was still this young. That was also the extent of the mercy she would extend to the enemy. Her divine astrals.h.i.+p howled once more and the attack immediately resumed.
"Kill!" The howls of the warriors and the wolf blended together. Countless specters of all kinds headed toward the Flameyellow Guard Formation. Though they were as spread out as they could be, they still looked like a huge swarm from afar. Before they arrived, they launched countless abilities toward the flaming clouds covering the surface of the sun.
For Skywolf to act so harshly despite knowing Tianming to be a decabane showed just how much they regarded merit. Even if Tianming got in the way of their conquest of the sun, they could just kill him and n.o.body would know better. A dead star told no tales, after all.
Sovereign Sanctquility had already stated favorable terms as well as an offer of surrender to him. She re-entered her divine astrals.h.i.+p and accelerated until it zipped toward the Flameyellow Guard Formation like a beam of light. Her plan was clear: if Tianming didn"t stop her then and there, she would attack the sun together with her army!
