Chapter 2566 - Shenxi Xingtian’s Wait
Still, Tianming couldn"t relax yet. That was because the current Sun was still skypiercer cla.s.s. If it were to be discovered, everyone would be in absolute danger. And nearly all his loved ones were still there.
That was why the entire operation was a gamble. After winning the gamble, the Sun wouldn"t be as vulnerable. "Fortune favors the bold. Taking risks is for a better future for everyone."
He estimated it would still take about three or four months for the Sun to reach the Myriadstar Zone. During that period, he needed to slow it down and hide it as much as possible without even the slightest disturbance made. Thus, he was basically in a state of tension every day.
"After a while, when the Sun enters Yin Chen’s range, it can send out a large number of bodies to keep watch. It’ll be safer and the Gladean Ruins can even go there to protect it." The next three to four months would be absolutely crucial. It was very likely that the Gladean Ruins would go out to chase the Star Hunters.
"So we need very accurate information from Ebonia and to closely monitor the position of the Ebonfiend." Based on the information coming from the Infinitum Swordsea, the ebons had been quiet for the past three years, going completely silent as if they’d forgotten about their defeat on Gladeus. Lin Xiaodao speculated that Shenxi Xingtian had decided his next move.
Unfortunately, the trouble with the Star Hunters was right in front of them, so there wasn’t time to rack their brains and antic.i.p.ate Shenxi Xingtian"s next move. They could only keep track of the Ebonfiend.
Tianming had a premonition that the decisive battle was rapidly approaching.
"The biggest variable will be the Sun after absorbing the ownerless nova sources, and whether it’ll be helpful." They were in uncharted territory, so they could only gamble.
"As long as the enemy gets close, Yin Chen can provide an early warning. Once the Gladean Ruins takes the initiative to attack, there"s a good chance of locating their nest. Under these circ.u.mstances, we can only wait for the Sun to safely arrive."
On Lin Xiaodao"s side, the escort plan had already been arranged. Yin Chen was also ready.
In the Infinitum Swordsea, all the intelligence personnel were in position.
The dawn of the Sun was right before their eyes!
……
On Ebonia.
"Meng Ying just mentioned that they’ll be nearing Gladeus within two years," Shenxi Xingtian said.
"So.... Father, after enduring for twelve years, the day to conquer the Gladeus and erase our past shame is almost here, right?" Shenxi Tianxi asked, his gaze somber.
"We can start preparing now. Remember, we need to keep a low profile. This time, we have to catch them off guard like a thunderbolt and swiftly pull out the nail that is Gladeus," Shenxi Xingtian stated.
"After obtaining the resources of Gladeus, we’ll have the capital to completely crush Yi Daiyan. Then we’ll undoubtedly be the ultimate victors in this three-way struggle," Shenxi Tianxi excitedly said.
"Not only for our generation, but for generations to come,” Shenxi Xingtian corrected.
"We have to thank those greedy flies from the Star Hunters. They kept Lin Xiaodao occupied, leaving him no time to predict our next move," Shenxi Tianxi said with a smile.
"Even without the Star Hunters, they wouldn"t have guessed. The infinitum-cla.s.s astrals.h.i.+ps from Skydome Mundus never came to us. This time, Meng Ying was purely tempted and lost their rationality," Shenxi Xingtian said.
"Father, why’s that? We are two very close mundi, and there"s no astral wilderness between us. So why’s there such little communication between the two mundi? Is it because of the celestial boundary?" Shenxi Tianxi asked, puzzled.
"That’s one reason. With the vast power of the divine wonderians and their control over multiple mundi, logically, we should’ve been annexed long ago, but that hasn"t happened."
Shenxi Xingtian folded his arms and gazed up at the sky, his skeletal countenance looking tiny.
"So why exactly is that?"
"Very simple. It’s because our territory holds some secrets that even the wonderians fear. That"s why they"ve prohibited the wonderians from encroaching on us,” Shenxi Xingtian explained.
"Was the secret beneath the Infinitum Stele before, and now likely with Lin Feng?" Shenxi Tianxi curiously asked.
"Whether it is or not, we"ll know once we have it in our hands," Shenxi Xingtian chuckled. He looked toward the direction of Gladeus, his eyes frosty. Clearly, he was impatient for the final showdown with Gladeus. The shame of twelve years ago and the stress of enduring for twelve years had dealt a heavy blow to the once top-ranked rex mundi, affecting his reputation and confidence for the second time.
During the past twelve years, he couldn"t even face his fellow clan members. The intensity of his eagerness to destroy Gladeus in the near future was evident in the seething spiritual energy within his eyes.
......
Over the past decade, Tianming had felt that time was pa.s.sing like flowing water. A month had felt like a year. But in the past two or three months, he felt like he had lived decades.
Every day, he monitored the Sun"s movement trajectory, and with each s.h.i.+ft, he relaxed a bit.
When the Sun entered Yin Chen"s perception range, Lin Xiaodao used ordinary astrals.h.i.+ps carrying a large amount of Yin Chens to reach the vicinity of the Sun and scatter them along its intended path. He had also activated the Gladean Ruins, preparing to escort if needed.
"The Sun is currently too fragile, so the Gladean Ruins can"t get too close or it would increase the risk of the Sun being discovered. The best option is for the Sun to silently appear in the Myriadstar Zone." If discovered, a mere skypiercer-cla.s.s world would be easily obliterated even with the protection of the Gladeus Ruins.
Thus, Yin Chen had to be deployed first.
That was what made him nervous. "Hopefully, this is the last time.”
Tianming wasn’t the only one with an accelerated heartbeat; all the people on the Sun could gradually perceive his emotions. Tianming realized that, as his cultivation improved, the range of his omnisentient threads grew longer until it had nearly caught up to Yin Chen"s perception range.
Every day, he could link with more threads. The stronger the G.o.d, the easier the connection. That also meant that the stronger his sun was, the stronger he would be. "If these trillions of people were astral G.o.ds, I can"t even imagine how powerful I would be. I might even be able to crush Shenxi Xingtian or Yi Daiyan with just one hand." That was the future Tianming longed for.
"It"s time to develop my own people."
Tianming waited and waited, but he didn"t know that Shenxi Xingtian was also waiting. Thankfully, his wait was slightly shorter.
Finally! Unnoticed by the Star Hunters, the Sun had arrived in the vicinity of the Myriadstar Zone.
Tianming could no longer contain his excitement. He had to return to the Sun himself to control the fusion formation and absorb the remaining nova sources.
Lin Jie"s Judgment didn"t dare to approach Gladeus, so Lin Xiaodao piloted the Gladean Ruins, carrying the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and Tianming within, toward the concealed sun.
A new chapter had begun for the Sun!
