Chapter 2024

"From now on, the brand-new Tianming Dynasty will be a world-spanning power! The various sects and their territories will become celestial cities and they’ll no longer have to worry about defenses against internal enemies. All denizens of the sun shall help each other and compete in a reasonable fas.h.i.+on. My dynasty will lead to a brand new era!"

There was no way the celestial orderians would be able to refuse that proposition, since Tianming controlled the Flameyellow Fusion Formation. If they did, he could just cut off their nova source lifeline. Not to mention, Wudi"s presence had pulled the sun empress and the rest in line.

The new laws and structures had already been implemented by Li Caiwei on Flameyellow beforehand, so all they needed to do was to move those inst.i.tutions over and make suitable adjustments to match the quirks of the locals. The power structure of the new dynasty was rather simple, with separate territories managed by a local power. Thanks to how Tianming was connected to four hundred billion Omnisentient Threads and could sense the thoughts of those that were connected to him, n.o.body would be able to harbor any ill ambitions behind his back. As such, the formation of the dynasty took place in an efficient manner. However, managing the dynasty wasn"t the key; instead, Tianming"s ruler-and-subject aspect played a pivotal role. As long as he was there, the Tianming Dynasty would remain prosperous, just, and peaceful.

"As it is now, the sun has five times the nova source it had before, so resources aren"t lacking in the least. Divine ores, herbs, and hazards will keep forming again and again. Our stockpiles of divine artifacts and pills will only continue growing. Even other cultivation resources, like caeli, remained mostly undamaged throughout the war. With such a firm foundation, this dynasty will experience explosive growth! With so much more surface area, it"s about time we promoted even more births. Perhaps our population will swell in another century!"

Those were all advantages that Tianming had. The increased population would not only stabilize his rule, but also grow the number of Omnisentient Threads he had. Who would be able to stop him once he broke past a trillion of them?

"As long as I treat my subjects well, they’ll repay me in kind. This arrangement couldn"t be better. The Primordial G.o.d-Emperor was truly powerful based on this alone," he praised. The sun was finally united and everyone’s antic.i.p.ation of the new prosperity was high. That way, the specter remnants of Skywolf would find it even more hopeless to turn things around. most of them chose to be sent to the forbidden lands to ensure the continued survival of their kind.

"There"s only one thing remaining to secure my dynasty for the long term." It went without saying that it involved migrating the denizens of Flameyellow to the sun! The mortal folk"s descendants would eventually reach parity with the higher lifeforms there. In fact, they themselves would also gain great benefits, thanks to the enhanced quality of spiritual energy and legacies. The talent of beastmasters was heavily tied to the availability of universal manna and other resources, after all.

Tianming had already talked to Li Caiwei about the matter. He also found a continent near the south pole of the sun where the Sky Palace Formation had been located for the original subjects of his terrestrial dynasty to settle down in. Tianming would make sure they had the gentlest form of nova source to work with, and ascending to G.o.dhood would no longer just be a thing of myth for the mortals. It only took a single ruler to change the lives of everyone on the continent, and Tianming had managed it! A month ago, Li Caiwei started to spread the word, triggering a ma.s.s exodus toward the central city so it would be more convenient for Tianming to pick them up with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

"When one ascends to G.o.dhood, even their chickens and dogs will rise with them. That basically describes you right now," Ying Huo said in awe.

Tianming looked at the human-shaped continent from the s.h.i.+p, still in deep thought. He still felt a little sentimental for the mortal plane on which he was born. He had many beautiful memories there.

"The place will still be there, but its people must move on to greener pastures. Otherwise, they"ll always be your weakness," Wudi said. It wouldn"t be the first time the safety of the people of the continent had been threatened. Fortunately, the sun emperor had considered the continent a sacred place of origin not to be touched, or it would have been troublesome. "At the very least, our old friends down there are rather optimistic and open-minded. Almost n.o.body will refuse to come here."

Tianming nodded. "There isn"t any other choice. According to my guess, if the deliverer witnessed this war, the sun"s location has been revealed. No matter what their ultimate goals are, they probably won"t benefit Flameyellow. War spreads far and spares n.o.body, not even mortals. Protecting them is the only thing I can do," Tianming said.

"Do you plan to move the sun away from here?"

"Yeah. We have to leave. But before that, we still need to seek out any mysterian informants that are planted here, or there won"t be a point."

"There’s quite a few other mortal realms nearby. The presence of the sun gave rise to all kinds of sentient life. If it leaves, those realms would all lose their light and eventually fall to ruin."

"There"s no need to worry about that. The thousands of lunar outposts the sun has in the astralscape of order can simply be moved into the lower levels of the astralscape. The moonlight can continue illuminating those realms. As long as they still have access to stellunar source, the spiritual energy they"ll have access to would be comparable to that of the sun. There’s also many more stellunar source worlds, so they should last those realms for hundreds of millennia."

Once the sun left, it would no longer require any outposts. As for what would happen after hundreds of millennia had pa.s.sed, n.o.body had an idea.

"I’ll eventually return either way, since the chaos skyjail is still here."

"Once we finish the migration, let’s go back home, son!" Wudi said.

"Sure thing. I"m starting to miss Old Ye."

The migration was a simple matter. Given the capacity inside the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, it could transport around a billion people at a time. Wudi would also be helping out with the Divine Sun Palace, making things progress even quicker. Not to mention, there were only a few precious things they needed to bring with them, since the sun already had loads of cultivation resources of dramatically better quality.

"Grandpa, stop it with the sentimentality! At your age, you"re still considered a young genius in the sun! Hurry up and go! Perhaps you"ll regain your youth with the help of some pills of the G.o.ds!"

Not everyone was pumped to leave their homes, but who would refuse the offer if it also came with ascending to G.o.dhood and the restoration of the body? Not only that, Tianming was also bringing the remnant specters of the Ninefold h.e.l.l with him.

"Bodhi, I managed to get your people to ascend as well. I"ve lived up to my promise to you, haven"t I?" Tianming was overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of the bald specter ruler from way back.

Given the speed of the s.h.i.+p, the only part of the migration that took any time was the boarding and offloading process. It was almost miraculous that an entire mortal world could be emptied in this fas.h.i.+on. After all, most powerful people wouldn"t even pay mortal worlds any heed, let alone move the people out of them.

All that was left was the chaos skyjail. Tianming wasn"t planning to take the people within with him. For one, they were safe within it and didn"t have to worry about being invaded. The chaos skyjail would persist even if Flameyellow was destroyed. Not to mention, it was a place filled with insidious secrets, so Tianming had to tread carefully around it. The average cultivation level of the people inside was also far too low, and neither the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb nor the Divine Sun Palace would be able to make it inside, making it almost impossible to migrate everyone within. The people wouldn"t be able to tell the difference between the types of spiritual energy, anyway.

Lastly, Ye Shaoqing was a stabilizing force inside. His powers had far outstripped the upper limits of the chaos skyjail, so he would find it hard to leave. Those outside that did manage to enter wouldn"t be his match. Even Ye Shaoqing found it a troublesome matter after discussing it with Tianming, so he temporarily put aside the matter of migrating them.
