Beastmaster of the Ages

It was naturally Zi Zhen that had arrived.

”Yes, she’s a bit big! But actually, she wasn’t this big at first, she just grew up. If you really compare proportions, she isn’t that big.” Tianming coughed as he spoke.

”Brother, what exactly are you talking about?” Qingyu was completely confused. One moment he said ”big”, the next moment he said ”not that big”... what was he even talking about?

As they were speaking, Zi Zhen arrived before them and looked at the two ”little people” in front of her. ”Are you okay?” she asked Tianming.

”I’m fine now,” Tianming smiled and gestured toward the girl beside him, saying, ”This is my sister, Qingyu. And this is Miss Zi Zhen, get to know each other.”

”Hello, sister-in-law. Just call me Qingyu,” Qingyu generously said.

Zi Zhen’s face immediately flushed red.

”You—you... hello....” After speaking, she shot a glare at Tianming, clearly blaming him for introducing her like that.

Even Tianming was momentarily taken aback. That was something Xian Xian had said....

Zi Zhen could only secretly accept the title and secretly feel happy about it.

”You siblings really look alike,” she remarked.

”Of course! We’re handsome and beautiful,” Tianming laughed. He didn’t tell Zi Zhen that they weren’t actually blood related. Strangely enough, their facial features were indeed quite similar; in fact, people probably wouldn’t believe it if he said they weren’t real siblings.

”Qingyu is good-looking, but you’re ugly!” Ji Ji pouted.

”Yeah, Ugly Man,” Xian Xian added.

Tianming wanted to stuff them back into the lifebound space, but it was already occupied by Eighth. ”We’ll head back to the Order College first to check on the situation and see if there’s any reaction from God Domain Two and beyond,” he said.

The Order Formations of the eyes of heaven had already been shut down. Now, the only remaining entrance was at the Order College, but it couldn’t be closed. It signified God Domain Two’s control over God Domain One.

”Alright!” Zi Zhen and Qingyu both nodded.

The three of them returned to the Order College.

”Yugong Huishenjun and Yugong Huiqiye, who were the wonderians’ child of heaven, are now dead. Their subsouls must’ve shattered. I wonder if it’ll attract even stronger wonderians to descend...” Tianming muttered to himself.

”What subsouls?” Bai Ye asked.

”They’re fragments of souls split from their vitae. If someone’s vita dies, their subsoul will shatter and dissipate. You don’t even know that?” Tianming mocked.

”Heh, the thing is... they aren’t dead,” Bai Ye sneered.

”Who?”

”Those two pretentious bastards!” Bai Ye said.

”What do you mean?”

Just as Tianming was puzzled, two faces suddenly emerged from within Bai Ye’s body. They belonged to Yugong Huishenjun and Yugong Huiqiye!

”Let us out!”

”I’m a wonderian child of heaven!”

The two faces twisted and struggled in agony, their expressions filled with pain, yet their minds seemed quite clear.

”Just because I ate them doesn’t mean they’re dead! My body’s essentially a country of souls. Their vitae still have to cultivate inside, constantly providing me with soul power!” Bai Ye smugly said.

Tianming was utterly dumbfounded. This was exploitation at its finest.

Honestly, though, Tianming had already gotten used to being dumbfounded by his beasts.

Primordial Chaos Beasts were almost all terrifying creatures in his dreams, and their fundamental natures were far from merciful. Perhaps, in their view, they and mortals were like tigers and ants. There was simply no real meaning to the latter.

Astral gods evolved from mortals and ordinary gods.

But what were these Primordial Chaos Beasts in their past lives? No one knew.

Still, the two wonderians were probably still considered alive by their own clan.

”That makes God Domain One’s situation much safer. Of course, the deaths of Team Hexapath and other wonderians weren’t caused by Bai Ye, so that part won’t be concealed.” That was why Tianming still had to return to Order College and see if any unexpected changes had occurred!f r\ee.c(o)(m)

Not long later, Qingyu saw Moran inside the Order College from afar.

”Wow, she’s become so beautiful.” Qingyu was a little amazed.

”Your brother fed her a diet of his power!” Tianming said.

”Brother, you’re really....” Qingyu stared at him, dumbfounded.

”No, no, that isn’t what I meant! I meant I used order and overflow fragments,” Tianming quickly explained.

”Stop, no need to explain! As long as Ling’er doesn’t chop you up, who else can interfere with your household affairs?” Qingyu said.

”That’s true!” Tianming nodded.

”Then... will Ling’er chop you up?” Qingyu curiously asked.

”Excellent question!”

”You don’t know, yet you’re still taking risks?” Qingyu was stunned.

”When the time comes, help me take the hit!” Tianming said.

Qingyu was speechless. She already knew Moran, so no introduction was needed. ”Sigh, all the most outstanding women in the world are gathered around you. If I were you, I’d be troubled, too,” Qingyu sighed in Tianming’s ear.

”Mm!” Tianming nodded.

”Adding Xiaoxiao, that makes four, right? Damn, can you even handle it all?” Qingyu asked.

”Xiaoxiao had to leave for some matters, but... there’s more at home.”

Qingyu was dumbfounded.

Tianming explained the specifics to her.

”Alright! Your Tianming Dynasty does need respected women from Myriadpath Valley to help you govern, and so does God Domain One. Plus, Big Sister Little Fish accidentally gained such a terrifying talent, which will be a huge help when we head to the Upper Star Ruin to find Little Feng....” Thinking of it that way, she understood Tianming even more.

”Being an emperor isn’t easy! A mountain of romantic debts, and there’s no way to escape it. But compared to our Master Ye Shaoqing, who’s also an emperor, you’re already quite restrained. He has three thousand concubines and countless descendants. That’s....” After speaking, she patted Tianming’s shoulder and continued, ”Luckily, Little Feng didn’t inherit your ways. A man should be a little dumber.”

Tianming chose not to respond to that.

Together, they checked the God Domain Formation that led to God Domain Two and confirmed that it really couldn’t be shut down. Before anyone else arrived, Tianming quickly handled a few matters.

The first order of business was sorting out all the resources of God Domain One they had obtained from Mu Tianyuan, Yugong Huishenjun, and Yugong Huiqiye, which included six grade-five overflow fragments. At the moment, the only one who could absorb them without side effects was Zi Zhen.

Tianming handed all six of the fragments to her. ”Use as many as necessary, but you must reach the fifth level as soon as possible!”

”Mm!” Zi Zhen didn’t hesitate. She knew that securing God Domain One would bring an endless supply of order and overflow fragments. It was crucial for strengthening Tianming’s dynasty, his family, his people, and himself. God Domain One was essentially a resource hub for an empire!
