Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2035

"I'm really sorry for causing such trouble to Violetglory!" For a while, Tianming didn't know what to say and could only blankly stare at the other two.

They, too, fell silent.

"You’re right. Given the situation, begging for mercy from the mysterians isn’t a good strategy. That would only put us in a passive position. Merging with your ancient star is the only way to preserve Violetglory’s legacy. I’ve always known that the mysterians aren’t kind or benevolent. On the contrary, they’re ruthless, tyrannical, and do whatever they want. Claiming the sun as Skyway Quadstar is their largest strategic move in all history. There’ll be great outrage if they fail… and Violetglory will definitely be the first victim of their outrage."

Skyway Quadstar was their greatest desire. Such an enormous army had been dispatched to take down the sun; their greed knew no bounds. Once the sun disappeared, their wrath would be unimaginable. Sovereign Starfeather was a man with a clear mind. From his words, it was obvious that he believed Tianming, as well as knew the reality of the situation.

"I don’t think the others will agree to this. They’ll think it absurd. Besides, there’s many on Violetglory who worship the divine wonderians..." Mu Ziyan said despondently. But it also showed that she trusted Tianming. "They’ll also wonder what’ll happen if the sun can't escape the clutches of the mysterians. Wouldn't we die an even worse death? We’ll be wiped out if we betray them. What does a declining, ancient star have to fight against the mysterians at their peak?" There were no answers to those questions. Every path before Violetglory was dangerous. In fact, they would only be safe if they didn't know Tianming, though it wasn’t clear how long that safety would last. After all, that was the law of the astralscape of order. The strong came first, while the weak begged for survival. Now that the enemy’s army was approaching, would Violetglory kneel and beg for mercy, or follow the sun on the path to seek survival? If they chose the former, there was a high chance that they would be killed in anger, but the other option might also end in death. The more important Skyway Quadstar was, the more danger Violetglory would face.

"I’m sorry." Tianming was really helpless.

"How about this? I'll call Sovereign Brightscorch over to discuss this together," Sovereign Starfeather said.

"Alright." Tianming nodded.

"Let's take a moment to calm down," Sovereign Starfeather said to Mu Ziyan.

"I know…" she sighed, glaring at Tianming. She couldn’t wait to strangle him. "I know you’re just as helpless as we are in this matter, but I wish I could give you a good beating. The trouble you caused is astronomical. It’s going to change everything for Violetglory!"

"I’m sorry." It was Tianming's third apology today.

"But you really care about us, so we’ll try our best to speak for you when Sovereign Brightscorch gets here," Mu Ziyan said.

"Thank you, big sister!" Despite all the sighing, Mu Ziyan was still closer to Tianming. After all, she was Tianming's master in cultivating the soul.

Sovereign Starfeather had invited Sovereign Brightscorch over for a chat and would most likely explain everything before returning.

"That stubborn old man isn’t going to believe a single thing you say as soon as you mention Violetglory’s nova source. He’s going to think that you’re here to steal our nova source," Mu Ziyan said.

"That... will indeed be a problem." Tianming bitterly smiled. Before he came, he knew that solving this issue would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens. In fact, Sovereign Starfeather and Mu Ziyan were willing to believe in Tianming if it only involved the two of them.

About an hour later, the other sovereign arrived. Tianming turned to look at them. Compared to the handsome, confident, and unrestrained Sovereign Starfeather, Sovereign Brightscorch’s temperament resembled the sun emperor. He had long dark purple hair, cold eyes, and a majestic aura. His every gesture spoke of royalty. That was the difference between the two forces. The emperor of a dynasty possessed a regal bearing, while the master of a sect would be more like Sovereign Starfeather. Although he wielded less power, he was carefree and had more time for cultivation. The two possessed distinctive features and each were dignified in their own way.

Sovereign Brightscorch sat on the large stone chair opposite Tianming, staring at him with his starry, dark purple eyes. “Sovereign Starfeather told me all about the miraculous events on the sun. Do you have anything else to add?"

"That’s about it," Tianming replied.

"How’re you going to convince me to lead the people of Violetglory in leaving their home and embarking on a path of no return without any proof? Don’t you know how serious this is for Violetglory?" Sovereign Brightscorch aggressively asked.

"Of course. The sun managed to survive being hunted by both Skywolf stars. We’ve just been through a nova source war, so I understand that the migration of the entire population is a grave matter. As for the matter of proof, why don’t you tell me what kind of evidence I need to convince you?" Tianming sincerely asked.

"You said that you defeated the hundred-year-old sovereign, Crimsonjade Qiang, without relying on the power of the sun? The man has a very high status among the faceless specters, and his father is one of the Three Sovereigns Mysterium," Sovereign Brightscorch said.

"Yes." Tianming nodded.

"If that’s true, you’re stronger than me. I don't think I’m Crimsonjade Qiang’s equal," Sovereign Brightscorch added. As he recalled, when he had first met Tianming a few years ago, he was only strong enough to face his daughter, Princess Shenyu. Right now, Princess Shenyu had yet to enter the Solar stage, but Tianming was already more powerful than him.

Glancing at Sovereign Brightscorch, Tianming said, "I’m weaker in the wondersky realm, but defeating you shouldn’t be a problem."

Shouldn’t be a problem! His words offended Sovereign Brightscorch a little. "You’re certainly confident!" Sovereign Brightscorch smacked the stone table, looking rather discontent.

Tianming didn't want to waste time on the matter of strength. "Let's get back to the subject. Relocation is the only solution now. I’d never be able to forgive myself if Violetglory is destroyed because of this. I sincerely hope that you can trust me. I’m extremely sorry for dragging you into all this, but judging by the actions of the mysterians, everything points to disaster."

"Don't try to frighten us. We won’t be intimidated," Sovereign Brightscorch laughed.

"Alright then."
