Chapter 2034

Sovereign Starfeather and Mu Ziyan shook their heads.

"Violetglory falls under the Mysterium Cluster. Our position has long been on their star map. If we move.... We can move, but because of the wondersky realm, the divine wonderians will know our location no matter where we go. In the Mysterium Cluster, the divine wonderians and mysterians are allies, so they, too, will know where we are,” said Sovereign Starfeather.

“If we’re targeted by the mysterians, the divine wonderians will probably abandon us, won’t they?" Mu Ziyan was even more frustrated.

"Because of the wondersky realm, your location will be exposed wherever you go?" Tianming asked. It was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

"Yes, setting up the wondersky realm is linked to the fusion formation. You can think of it as the foundation for the wondersky realm. As long as the wondersky realm exists, no matter where Violetglory goes, we can't escape the eyes of the divine wonderians," Sovereign Starfeather solemnly said.

"Oh, then it's no wonder they wanted to set up a wondersky realm for you. Isn’t it the same as being held captive?" Tianming asked.

"That’s not entirely true. The wondersky realm made it more convenient for our lives, cultivation, and legacies. Our people also grew stronger. Without the wondersky realm, we would’ve been wiped out by Skywolf long ago and wouldn’t exist today,” Sovereign Starfeather explained.

"Not necessarily. They’re known as the Wondersky-Mysterium Alliance, which sounds like they’re partners. Skywolf used to be part of the Voidsky Organization, which was once a subordinate of the mysterians.... Think about it. Were you really rescued by the divine wonderians, or tamed and raised in captivity instead of being slaughtered straightaway?" Tianming asked. His train of thought was logical. Hunters also chose to keep their prey alive when they had enough food. Cage them up first, then slaughter and consume them when they were hungry.

"The Voidsky Organization...." It was Sovereign Starfeather’s first time hearing the name and he didn’t know what to say. Mu Ziyan and Sovereign Starfeather looked at each other helplessly.

"In other words, moving isn’t an option." Tianming lowered his head.

"Yes, we can't move. It doesn’t matter where we go," Sovereign Starfeather said.

Taking a deep breath, Tianming solemnly promised, "Violetglory has been kind to me. I won’t let you suffer for me no matter what."

"You're contradicting yourself. It’s already happened. Your ancient star isn’t going to just wait for death. And Violetglory can’t escape, either. Even if you don’t want to see it happen, there's nothing you can do about it." Sighing, Sovereign Starfeather shook his head. "For now, it looks like our only option is to beg for mercy from the mysterians and put aside our relationship with you. That way, we might be able to save some people," he continued.

"No! Even if we beg for mercy, they’ll use you to threaten Tianming. Everyone knows you two are close. You will die!" Mu Ziyan cried.

As a sovereign, he would only attract their attention and ire. If Violetglory were to be sacrificed and bear the mysterians’ anger, Sovereign Starfeather would be the first person to die. All of the Violetcloud Imperium might be slaughtered, or perhaps even the entire star. For them, this was no ordinary disaster—it was a threat of annihilation. Sovereign Starfeather and Mu Ziyan were both cold from head to toe. They couldn't expect Tianming and the sun to wait for death. That was the cause of the contradiction between them. Only one could survive, either the sun or Violetglory.

Amidst their despair, Tianming gritted his teeth and said, "There’s only one solution left."

"Tell us." Sovereign Starfeather and Mu Ziyan pricked up their ears. This was their darkest moment. If Tianming really could come up with a feasible solution, then they would see the dawn of hope.

Facing their gaze, he calmly said, "Our sun moves fast. I’m sure that I can get to Violetglory before the mysterians arrive. My plan is for everyone to move to the sun! Now that the sun’s nova source is five times that of Violetglory, there’s abundant land but only eight hundred billion people, which is less than Violetglory’s population. With the sun’s current size, it can easily accommodate five trillion people. Violetglory’s citizens can live in peace and enjoy better cultivation resources. It’ll take us about five months to reach you, during which you’ll have plenty of time to pack up all your items, legacies, and even buildings. The people of Violetglory and the sun will work hand in hand. Under our leadership, we’ll escape from the control of the mysterians and flourish in the cosmos! If you don’t want Violetglory’s nova source to fall into their hands, I can move it over to the sun without destroying the fusion formation. It’ll almost be as if Violetglory had merged with the sun, so it isn’t exactly leaving your home...."

The biggest problem now was that Violetglory couldn’t leave because the wondersky realm had locked on to its fusion formation. However, if a relocation similar to the Flameyellow Continent and the transfer of the star’s nova source was successful, there would only be an empty shell of the fusion formation left behind, which wouldn’t give them a handle on Tianming.

Tianming finished speaking all at once and quietly waited for the two to think.

Mu Ziyan suddenly laughed out loud. "Tianming, you didn’t make all this up just to get your hands on Violetglory’s nova source, did you?" Mu Ziyan asked.

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Tianming retorted.

"I don't, but this is a serious matter and we’ve only known you for a few years. It’s impossible to judge a man’s heart. We can unconditionally trust you for the little things, but this is related to the lives of trillions, as well as millions of years of legacies. How can we make such a decision? We wouldn’t be able to trust you even if you’re our own son...." Mu Ziyan broke down. She had a point; it was a grave matter, so grave that it was almost impossible to breathe.

"That’s not all. There's a more important issue. We don’t have control over the entire star. Sovereign Brightscorch’s opinion matters as well. And even if both of us sovereigns are willing to trust you, there’ll still be many who’ll think it’s all nonsense. We’re people of the Mysterium Cluster. Most of them are unlikely to believe that Violetglory will suffer a disaster just because you’re part of the Violetcloud Imperium," Sovereign Starfeather explained.

"I know... but it’s the only way." Tianming was well aware of everything he said. The complications of the matter were beyond his imagination.
