Beastmaster of the Ages

"Will Ebonia go to war?" Tianming frowned.

"We've always thought it would. And it might happen after the five major royal clans in the ebons’ alliance, such as the sanctlighters and the Eastpole Skyshaker Family, turn their coats and submit to Yi Daiyan," Wudi said.

"Why?" Tianming asked.

"Because of you! With you and the Sun, she's no longer able to procrastinate that much. She can delay more than the ebons, but not us. If she has any intelligence, she'll know that you'll eventually pose a threat to her.

“The activation of the Ebonia Guard Formation requires a significant consumption of Ebonia’s nova source. If she doesn't do anything, it won’t be good for those who support her. Moreover, she’s probably made some recent achievements in her personal cultivation!" Xiaodao said.

"So, if she's going to make a move, now is indeed the best opportunity. Once she takes over the ebons, completely monopolizes Ebonia, and most importantly, obtains an infinitum-class astralship, her power will unprecedentedly expand. She'll become a giant with all-around personal strength, influence, and astralship capabilities. At that time, she’ll have the strength to destroy the Sun and take over our power," Wudi added.

Once Ebonia fell into internal conflict, from Tianming's perspective, Yi Daiyan, who had both the initiative and a plan, would definitely have a better chance of winning than Shengxi Xingtian, who had exhausted his trump cards. The Bailing Clan and voidskies knew it as well.

In the Infinitum Mundus, Yi Daiyan was indeed a legendary figure, while Shengxi Xingtian was a joke who continuously lost. Now, the key was whether the five staunch supporters of the ebons could hold on.

Tianming thought for a moment and said, "The problem is, what should we do if they really go to war? It seems that we can't do much...."

Obviously, the Sun couldn’t dispatch astralships for an expedition! Moreover, if they were to go on an expedition, who they should fight was also in question. From the perspective of justice and a banner, they still hadn’t established the Tianming Dynasty yet. They nominally belonged to the Infinitum Bodhimanda, so they should obviously help Yi Daiyan.

"But we also don't want Yi Daiyan to comfortably win, eat up the ebons, and grow unassailable!" Tianming looked at the elders, thinking that they should have an answer.

Wudi and the others glanced at each other and said, "We have a decision."

"What?"

"Regardless of whether Ebonia will go to war, or when it will happen, we can't sit on the sidelines in a distant place. We have to remain in a position to enter the battlefield at any time in order to seize the initiative. So we want you to start moving the Sun now, bring it closer to Ebonia," Wudi said.

According to the Code of Infinitum, nova source worlds couldn’t be casually moved to conserve nova source, and long-distance raids were even more prohibited! However, the Sun was an exception, as it belonged to Tianming.

"As long as we’re near Ebonia, no matter how the battle situation is, we’ll have a chance to adapt on the fly. If the ebons have the upper hand, we can pull down Yi Daiyan, and if she has the upper hand, we can cause trouble, cost her more, and wear down her strength. It’d be best to take the Ebonfiend!" Wudi said.

What Yi Daiyan lacked was infinitum-class astralships, so it would be dangerous for her to go on an expedition to the Sun before filling that weakness.

"Is there a possibility that, when we arrive, we deter them, and fearing the fisherman’s profit, they won't fight anymore?" Tianming asked.

"That’d be the best. If the Infinitum Mundus remains peaceful, it's a good thing for us. We need time to develop, and it's the same for you," Xiaodao said.

"Tianming, you have to know that Yi Daiyan is the one that currently holds the initiative. So our number one enemy is her! She probably wants to fight. If we can spook her and make her afraid to fight, we’ll have achieved our strategic goal," Wudi laughed.

"Okay!" Ji Ji could drive the sun. "Then I'll leave all of Ji Ji inside the sun. From today onward, drive the sun toward Ebonia."

In that case, Ji Ji wouldn’t be able to be used in his battles in the Xenoabyss. However, the future of the Sun and all of its living beings was a big deal!

"Ebonia...." Although he had left the sixth-level world, it didn’t mean that Tianming could ignore it. "The Infinitum Stele is part of the Grand-Orient Sword, which needs to be enhanced now. Also, my father said that the things under the stele are still unknown. Perhaps they’re Order Relics....”

He hadn't fulfilled his wishes on Ebonia!

Xiaodao, Wudi, and his grandparents all thought that Yi Daiyan would never let him go. Although he didn't feel it so strongly, he believed in the judgment of the elders. Once a civil war broke out, Yi Daiyan mustn’t be allowed an easy win.

"When the three-sided balance is broken, it’s likely to become a situation of swallowing one of the two!"

The Sun rumbled as it began moving again.

......

The infinitum-class Ninedragon Imperial Tomb transformed into a nine-headed black dragon and took off for the first time in a long time. Tianming first circled around the Sun, looked at the current situation of the burning star, and finally returned to the Sky Palace, where the people were gathered.

All the inhabitants of the entire Sun knew the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb! When the black dragon soared past, they raised their arms and cheered.

"During this period, because of the Flameyellow Bloodsoul, many people have made great progress. The entire population is continuing to rapidly improve, haven’t you felt it?" Wudi asked from next to him.

"Yes!" Tianming stood inside the tomb, looking down at the vast mountains and rivers below. The reason he had come to that position was to try the changes of his imperial order! He couldn’t hold himself back any longer.

A gold-and-black hexagon was what the order looked like inside his body. When Tianming activated it on the Sun, it suddenly awakened and shone brightly.

"My goodness!" Wudi covered his eyes and shouted, "What treasure is this? It's so dazzling?"

"Your grandchildren's palace." Tianming smiled.

"Pah!" Wudi was speechless and stomped his foot.

The imperial order had come to the place it truly belonged. At that moment, Tianming felt that he, the Sun, and all living beings were awakened! The impetus of the sun gathered around his body.

His person and the entire Sun had become one. The core was the imperial order!

The imperial order connected to his seventh heptastar organ, then to countless astrons in his body. Each of them had omnisentient threads connected to them. The lines were sprinkled to the Sky Palace below, connecting to the heavenly will, divine will, or even order of each cultivator.

The heavenly will of mortals! The divine will of gods! The order of astral gods!

The white omnisentient threads were illusory and invisible, but at that moment, a gold-and-black brilliance spread from Tianming’s imperial order, turning the world under the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb into a sea of gold and black. A world network formed!

Centered on Tianming, almost everyone in the world was connected to each other.

"What’s this?" All the Sun’s inhabitants, including the Lin Clan, Gladeus migrants, and the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan all raised their heads and looked toward the sky, seeing what appeared to be a miniature Sea of Order.
