Chapter 2778 - Rising Popularity

Tianming and Feiling quickly returned to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb from the solar core. To ensure the safety of the tomb, it had been kept in a sealed state, unable to be entered or exited. There were definitely many assassins on the Sun. To avoid any problems, Tianming, along with all his relatives and friends, were extremely cautious, always maintaining the highest level of vigilance.

As soon as he arrived, Wudi, Xiaodao, Lin Xiao, and the other elders arrived soon after. They were mostly active in the Gladean Ruins and the Flameyellow Coffin.

"The Xenoabyss is indeed a good place. Think about how long you’ve been there, yet you've improved so much!" Wudi came up, pinching and prodding Tianming, looking shocked and incredulous.

"How is it? Have you become the number one genius in the Infinitum Mundus?" Tianming scoffed.

When they heard Wudi's title, everyone laughed.

"Stop joking!" Wudi glared at Tianming and said, "Where's my order fragment? Did you only feed yourself? Have you no filial piety? Do you have a conscience? Do you have compassion?"

"I forgot!" Tianming unapologetically said. Of course he remembered. If there were grade-one or two order fragments now, they would definitely belong to his godfather, who needed them more than Feiling or Xiaoxiao. As for Moran, she didn't even have an order, so she couldn't use an order fragment.

"You... how did you learn this? You don't respect your elders at all!" Wudi grumbled, but unfortunately, he couldn't beat Tianming and could only stare helplessly.

After laughing for a while, Tianming asked, "Grandpa, how's the situation here?" He had basically transferred all the Yin Chen to the Xenoabyss, so after coming back, he was in a state of information deficit.

"There's nothing much happening on the Sun. Occasionally, some opponents with insufficient strength sneak in, but they're pretty easy to take care of. The problem is, we still haven't found that ancestral world monster and the number of infiltrators is increasing.... It's hard to completely stabilize the situation. However, we've recently been building various formations around the Sky Palace to increase defense. It should be better in the future," Lin Xiao said, stroking his long beard.

"No matter what, it's much better than the turbulent days before," Dongshen Zhuojun sighed. As the leader of the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan, he had gradually joined the core members of the Sun. The effectiveness of the Flameyellow Bloodsoul on him was also quite significant!

As a beneficiary, he had even broken through a level and become an eleventh-level cosmic cartographer. He was now in the top hundred of the reges mundi ranking, already standing among the top powerhouses in the Infinitum Mundus.

Lin Changkong, Lin Jie, and Lin Xiao were all at that realm.

"As for granduncle...?" Tianming asked about Dongshen Yang, the father of Dongshen Zhuojun.

"He's living alone in Mount Taia and no one’s bothering him. There's nothing much to say about his situation.... But he still has connections on Ebonia, so he was the first to tell us about the changes there," Dongshen Zhuojun said.

"What changes?" The matter had also been mentioned by Feiling. Tianming had only been waiting for them to arrive so they could discuss it together.

"A while ago, Yi Daiyan activated the Ebonia Guard Formation to prevent the Ebonfiend from returning, but she didn't attack the underground base of the ebons. Instead, she continued secluding herself and didn't show up. Recently... she appeared," Xiaodao said.

"What’d she do?"

"It is said that she consecutively visited the last two regal clans that maintained neutrality, namely the Bailing Clan and the voidsky race," Xiaodao said.

There were now twelve regal clans, with the Swordgod Lin Clan joining the ranks of the Sun Camp. The ebons and five other clans formed the Reges Mundi Allied Forces, and there were six left after that, including the luxdaemons. The Greenhill Yushan Clan, Yishker Clan, and Tai State Wanfu Clan stood firmly on the luxdaemon’s side.

The Bailing Clan and the voidsky race, like the Lin Clan before, were also targets of the ebons’ recruitment. Unfortunately, before the ebons could succeed, they had suffered heavy losses to the Lin Clan, making it even more impossible to draw the two clans to their camp.

Those were still regal clans, each with tens of thousands of astral gods, numerous astralships, and high-sanctuary-class guardian formations, and weren’t easy to provoke.

"What's the result?" Tianming asked. Even up until now, Yi Daiyan, for him, was still full of mysteries and mysteries.

"After she left, the Bailing Clan and voidsky race consecutively declared their support for Yi Daiyan, the Rex Mundi, and declared the ebons as traitors to the Infinitum Mundus! At the same time, they urged the regal clans like the sanctlighters, Eastpole Skyshaker Family, Fiend Qiangnan Clan, and Central Shuntian Clan to come back," Xiaodao said.

"She’s so amazing?" Tianming was surprised.

Although the ebons' war power had been greatly damaged due to the failure of the ebons’ second expedition and the defeat of the second Exterminatus Army by the Lin Clan, and the Ebonfiend was blocked outside Ebonia... Yi Daiyan alone, by herself, had managed to stifle the recruitment work that the ebons had been working on for decades. It was still quite amazing.

"Her efficiency was so high. She must’ve demonstrated sufficient strength or treasures to win them over. There should be reasons for regal clans like the Greenhill Yushan Clan to follow her," Lin Xiao added.

"Yes!" That woman could deal with the reincarnated Li Muyang. Although he hadn't met her, the pressure she put on Tianming was much greater than that of Shenxi Xingtian and Meng Ying.

"So, if we count, Yi Daiyan has gathered six regal clans around her," Tianming said.

"Yes, she and the ebons are evenly matched!" Xiaodao said.

That meant that Yi Daiyan’s power had unprecedentedly expanded.

"Her current advantage lies in the two major formations of Ebonia and her personal power. And her main disadvantage is the lack of an infinitum-class astralship. In terms of astralships and astral gods, because the ebons far surpass the luxdaemons, the ebon alliance still has almost twice the advantage over Yi Daiyan even though they’re even in terms of support," Xiaodao said.

Originally, the ebons had three times as much, but Tianming and the rest had reduced that.

"Even with twice the advantage, the ebons still have no advantage! Firstly, Shenxi Xingtian is unable to return, so their infinitum-class astralship is powerless. Secondly, and this is the most crucial point: the forces of those regal clans that were originally on the side of the ebons suffered heavy losses due to following them. It’ll be possible for them to turn to Yi Daiyan!" Lin Xiao added.

The situation of the ebons was indeed embarrassing for them. Shenxi Xingtian and the Ebonfiend couldn't return to Ebonia, so those inside the barrier didn’t dare to stick out their heads and move around. Over time, everyone would panic.

On Ebonia, the current two camps were quite obvious. The two sides were like water and fire, ready to erupt into a sixth-level world’s civil war at anytime.

"What about the ordinary peak clans? Who do they support?" Tianming asked.

"It's changing all the time. In the recent period, after Ebonia was closed, Yi Daiyan's approval rating has been continuously rising. About fifty percent of the peak clans haven't taken a stance yet, twenty percent support the ebons, and thirty percent support Yi Daiyan. Once a fight breaks out, whoever wins will get the support of the neutral fifty percent! Currently, she represents the justice of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, so her approval rating is still rising," Xiaodao said.

Wudi pursed his lips and said, "To be honest, all of this was bought for her by us. Without us severely damaging the ebons’ alliance, she wouldn't have gained such a huge advantage."

That was the truth! Before clashing with the Sun, the ebons were still in their prime, rampant and overbearing.
