Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2033

Although Tianming had interrupted their fun, the situation was urgent. He couldn’t fool around any longer. "I’m here to talk about something major related to the survival of Violetglory. Can you change the scene and these... clothes?"

It was their turn to be speechless. "Damn it. There’s always something wrong every time I see you," Mu Ziyan complained.

"Fine, change out of your costume and we’ll head over to your place. We can’t let him take advantage of you." Sovereign Starfeather cleared his throat.

"Don’t I look nice?" Mu Ziyan shyly giggled.

"You’re a natural beauty," Sovereign Starfeather replied.

If it weren’t for the serious matter at hand, Tianming wouldn’t stay and watch them flirt.

......

Soon, they switched locations. When Sovereign Starfeather and Mu Ziyan were properly seated, they turned to Tianming and said, "You’re in such a hurry so it must be serious. Tell us what’s going on. We can take it."

"You must be mentally prepared.... I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the news," Tianming said.

Sovereign Starfeather and Mu Ziyan exchanged a meaningful look. "If this turns out to be a joke, I’m going to get my uncle to spank you," Mu Ziyan teased.

"It's a long story, so I'll try to start from the beginning. Let’s start with what happened after I returned home...."

When it came to business, Tianming was much more solemn. He introduced the sun, including the forces involved, the Myriad Solar Sects and celestial orderians, and explained the events that transpired, from the internal war to the skywolves, then finally the nova source war. Upon hearing about the destruction of Skywolf, the two violetglorians were dumbfounded, staring in wide-eyed shock. If it weren’t for fear of interrupting Tianming, they would have asked if he was joking. “The ancient star”, “Flameyellow Coffin”, “five times the sun”, the “Primordial Demon”—words came out of Tianming's mouth one after the other. As for the changes in his strength, he explained that he had grown extremely powerful within the range of the ancient star. Finally, he spoke about slaying Emperor Qiang and the two Sovereigns Mysterium en route to the sun with two thousand divine astralships, ready to take over ’Skyway Quadstar’. He also mentioned Qiang’s threat before his death. When the conflict shifted to Violetglory, the expressions of the two completely altered.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Like an idiot, Mu Ziyan repeated herself more than a dozen times in a row.

"Two of the three Sovereigns Mysterium.... Two thousand divine astralships, two of which are deific-class, which is almost equivalent to more than half of the mysterians’ combat power!” Sovereign Starfeather’s hands, which he had placed on the stone table, were trembling.

"Yes." Tianming nodded.

"The ancient star you control is at least a fallen deific-class world. As long as you supply enough nova source, it can become a new deific-class world! You and the sun emperor are both so powerful and more talented than the elites of the mysterians because of that ancient star?" Sovereign Starfeather asked.

"Yes." Tianming nodded again.

"How strong are you when you’re within range of this star?" the sovereign asked.

"I have yet to fight others, so I don't know very well. But… I defeated Qiang without using the power of the sun," Tianming replied.

"Defeating the genius hundred-year-old sovereign of the mysterians makes you a thirty-year-old sovereign. That’s unheard of even among the mysterians." Sovereign Starfeather stared at Tianming, his gaze trembling.

"Yes." Tianming nodded again.

"Crimsonjade Qiang said that they’ll investigate your relationship with Violetglory if you flee with the sun. Once they discover your friendship with the Violetcloud Imperium, or the fact that you’re an astral king, they’ll threaten you with our safety and force you to show yourself?" Rising to his feet, Sovereign Starfeather asked, his gaze fiery.

"Yes!" Tianming also stood up, bowed deeply to Sovereign Starfeather, and said, "I'm very sorry! You gave me shelter, resources, and treated me wholeheartedly, but I’ve only brought you trouble in return.... Even though it wasn't my intention and I personally had no control over it all, I still feel deeply guilty."

"You're right. We thought you were a lucky star, only to find out that you’re a star of disaster…. You've brought an irreversible catastrophe upon us!" Mu Ziyan shouted, collapsing on the stone table. Turning to Sovereign Starfeather with a blank expression, she asked, "Uncle, what do you think we should do? There’s no solution to this unless Tianming’s star chooses not to escape and faces them head on. But that means they’ll die."

Having said that, she looked at Tianming. "You little brat! You won’t stay where you are and wait for the mysterians to deprive you of everything like a fool just because you’re sorry, will you? What's more, you killed Crimsonjade Qiang. There’s no way out for you—they’ll never let you go."

"Yes." Tianming nodded.

"So Violetglory should sacrifice ourselves for you?" Mu Ziyan stood up. She really couldn't laugh anymore. This was a serious matter, comparable to Skywolf’s invasion. It wasn’t at all surprising that she felt lost because of it.

"That’s why I’m here to explore a solution with the two of you," Tianming seriously said.

"What else is there besides a dead end?" Mu Ziyan's eyes turned red.

"Ziyan, don't get so emotional. Tianming’s a good lad. If it weren’t for his heartfelt gratitude to us, he would’ve run off without a care. Although disaster is imminent, we can still do something.... We must believe in him,” Sovereign Starfeather calmly said. They had formed a deep friendship after their time together.

Sovereign Starfeather was right. If Tianming was an ungrateful man, then Violetglory couldn’t be used against him. He wouldn’t even blink when the mysterians came to destroy them and would just escape with the sun.

"Alright, I know that he’s good, but who can resist the mysterians? Why do I get the feeling that Violetglory is completely finished? Forget it, there’s no point in saying anything. You guys discuss and I’ll listen.... " Crossing her arms, Mu Ziyan sat down and blankly stared at the two of them. In truth, if they didn't trust Tianming, they would have already flipped out.

After pondering for a while, Sovereign Starfeather said, "There’s no hiding our relationship. The mysterians can easily judge your character based on your previous deeds, but you’ve removed their watchers. If the sun escapes, Violetglory will be their last hope of ever threatening you. Even if they know you won’t surrender because of it, they’ll vent their anger on us. There’s no escaping disaster." That was a fact.

“You’re right. What I’d like to know is, can Violetglory move with us and leave its current position?" Tianming asked.
