Beastmaster of the Ages

”Based on my experience in the Midsky Tristars, this can indeed trigger a chain reaction across all the fortuna-class worlds in the Upper Star Ruin. Tianming could see everything they saw from all too many omnisentient threads, making him collect and process a similar magnitude of information compared to Yin Chen. He had thought that this step wouldn’t come so soon, yet everything he had seen told him that this was the time!

”Their goal is to fight their way out of the cities and regroup to protect each other like Long Xing had done in his world. If they form safe bases for flameyellow descendants, they’ll be able to escape the grasp of the Eightpart Pantheons!” Otherwise, Tianming wouldn’t have bothered to reveal himself in this way. He could’ve focused on gathering resources while his subjects kept quiet and waited while the Eightpart Pantheons was still shaken by what happened in the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins.

Tianming hadn’t discussed this with the flameyellow voidkin and came to a conclusion himself. The flameyellow voidkin didn’t understand what omnisentient threads were anyway. This was Tianming’s true trump card!

When the slaves of fortuna-class worlds all rebelled together, it caught the Eightpart Pantheons off guard. The hundreds and thousands of them could easily take the enemy off guard with their sudden revolt. Tianming was but a small drop in that tidal wave of people like Long Qian who would stand up to fight their oppression!

”They really aren’t that weak, especially after their heavenly shackles are undone.” As Tianming slaughtered away at them, a few flameyellow descendants would kill and vent their rage. In conflicts like these, being of the same mind with your allies was of massive importance and afforded massive benefits.

The members of the Eightpart Pantheons in fortuna-class worlds are at the lowest rung of hierarchy to begin with, so they weren’t that hard to conquer the world. They didn’t even need to conquer the star to succeed. Eventually, the champions come bearing gifts. The bright summer Sun was just ahead.

Of the hundreds of thousands of fortuna-class worlds out there, all of them got into conflict with the flameyellow descendants at the same time, catching the Eightpart Pantheons off guard. His mission to take the world seemed so much easier. Their emperor had given them faith. ”The members of these fortuna-class worlds are much weaker than the orbiters anyway!” The sudden assault didn’t require them to conquer the whole world, so it’d succeed easily. The emperor had brought his subjects the power of faith.

”Phew....” Tianming kept slaughtering away for up to ten days, which basically wiped out most of their numbers. What surprised him was that the countless flameyellow descendants across the omnisentient threads who participated in a celebration for ten days and nights started to form territories after the many Long Xings succeeded. ”This way, they won’t be able to be used as a threat against me that easily anymore.”

That was all too important, simple though it might seem. The entire process was far too wide of a scale. Though many things had happened across the maniverse-class world, most people could only see what was happening around them, given the sheer size of the Upper Star Ruin, so things appeared rather calm.

When everyone decided to break out of the cities, they felt like a guiding light in their hearts, that of the Flameyellow Emperor! They remembered his name, appearance, and might, deep within their hearts. He had shaken the entire Upper Star Ruin in ten days!

”They still don’t know what happened in the Ninefold Hellstar till now. As for the rebellions in the fortuna-class worlds, they managed to succeed and escape captivity. This will shock the entire Eightpart Pantheons!” How all the flameyellow descendants in different fortuna-class worlds were suddenly able to mount a joint rebellion was something that confused many parties to begin with. That unanswered question was enough to keep many occupied.

”Ten days....” Tianming was now standing atop the tallest building in the city. More than a hundred thousand devas had died there by his hand. He was already numb from all the killing; his swords and totems no longer felt like living things. Though the cosmic gods cried out for the stars, they could be felled with one strike from Tianming, dying in a way completely foreign to mortals.

At the very least, that was what a cosmic god meant to him. The longer one cultivated, the less one resembles a human. From the tall building, the Ninefold Hellstar looked like a true hell on earth with tens of millions of cosmic gods left. All of them froze in fear and some cried and howled, terrified of Tianming completely.

”You are the true ancient flameyellow divinity, Li Tianming....” Ming Yufu stared at the monster blankly from afar, knowing the truth of who the Ninefold Hellstar had fallen to.

”However, even if you have a group of people in the Ancestral World, how could you possibly topple the Eightpart Pantheons?” Though she had chosen to stand with Tianming, she simply didn’t know how he planned to achieve what he set out to do. She didn’t even know about the slave revolts in fortuna-class worlds.

”When will you leave? Even though the Ninefold Hellstar is sealed, people will discover this eventually. Ten days is enough for them to come by wormhole expressway. If you’re not gone by then, even more elites will come and even some from imperial-class worlds.” In other words, she was asking him to return home and grow stronger.

Tianming ignored her and asked the coffin in his lifebound space. ”Are you about done? I can keep the killing going if you want.” At this point, all he wanted to do was to hatch Eighth. The deadfish eye on the coffin blinked as if it was nodding.

”It said that’s enough!” Ying Huo said, cheering.

”We have a new friend!” Meow Meow said, eyes wide with excitement.

”I want to be the one to hatch it! Me! Me!” Lan Huang ran around excitedly.

”I hope it’s cute, unlike our Sixth traitorous triplets,” Ji Ji said, arms crossed.

”Shut up, narcissist!” Bai Ling snapped.

”You’re funny, little Ji Ji.” Bai Ye put an arm around Bai Ling’s head, standing on the same side for once.

”What are you fighting around for? Once Eighth hatches, you’ll all be elder siblings!” Xian Xian said, as if she had experienced the same thing before. ”You are so pitiful, unlike me. I was born as the elder sister.”

”Fatty.” That was all Ji Ji needed to pop Xian Xian’s facade.

”Hey, you’re starting to teach your youngest sibling some really ridiculous things before it’s even born,” Tianming said.

Since Eighth already felt like it had enough, Tianming stopped the massacre. His gaze turned cold as he said, ”I will take the land here if I want, and kill if I want to!”

Eighth finished the hundred thousand ghouls but needed time to process them. Tianming needed some time for himself anyway to finish something crazy.

”You want to take the land? What for? How will you take the Ninefold Hellstar away? Even if you take the Ninefold Hell Cauldron, the imperial-class worlds have spare astralcores. You’ll also be found if you bring the cauldron with you. Not to mention, there are tens of millions of other cosmic gods here. Can you finish them off alone?” Ming Yufu asked exhaustively.
