Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 2013

Chapter 2013 – An Acquaintance

Qingyu understood the difference between Tianming and the sun emperor. Facing the problem of the specters, the sun emperor would have chosen to cut the Gordian knot no matter how many people died. He would first destroy the specters to avoid trouble in the future. As for the deaths of his own people, he could always increase the population by encouraging births. However, Tianming didn’t want those who had suffered to sacrifice their lives. Let alone a billion, he wasn’t willing to lose even a hundred thousand. But that didn’t mean he would go easy on the specters. To die, or to live with their tail between their legs, the choice was theirs. Revenge was impossible. Three thousand years later, even if Tianming was no longer around, the size and development of the two races would be completely different, not to mention that he had the means to stop the continuation of their hatred from generation to generation.

Lingfeng’s clan had been banished to the Infernal Soul Formation. But what kind of place was that? The conditions set by Tianming were completely different from that, as well as from the Ninefold Hell in which Great Emperor Xuanyuan had sealed the specters. They were forced to live in darkness for a hundred thousand years. In contrast, these three billion Skywolf specters could be considered lucky.

“It’s time to end everything without spilling blood.” Tianming believed that everyone in this world, like him, wanted no more deaths due to war. His emotions and words could be heard through the three hundred billion Omnisentient Threads. “I understand now that morality is divided according to factions. Skywolf isn’t in my faction, so I can only try my best to do the right thing when it comes to them.” He cared about the lives of his people. Because he had received the impetus of the sun, his principles and contributions could only revolve around this world and its people. “As for foreign races, I’ll do my best to respect their lives after weighing the pros and cons.” Making these decisions was something he had gained on this long road.

“Skywolf is gone. The remaining specters are pitiful, too….” Thinking of their situation, Qingyu could imagine how tormented their hearts were.

“Who isn’t pitiful under the laws of the world and flames of war? Once you’re in the game, you must respect the rules.” Tianming didn’t think it was wrong of the sun emperor to destroy Skywolf. Reality wasn’t all black and white, but he could seek a kinder shade of gray.

Now, he would wait for the specters’ reply. Desperate refugees like them could only rely on transmission stones to communicate with each other, so it would take some time for them to reach a consensus. However, Tianming could see an obvious change through the Omnisentient Threads—most of the specters had temporarily stopped killing. Thus, the people of the sun had a brief reprieve from their nightmare. The final talks would determine whether or not the war would end for good.

“Survival is the number one goal for most people, so I believe they’ll accept their fate.” There might be a few who were unresigned, but what mattered was the choice of the majority. Tianming could do nothing about the few that refused to accept their fate. He could use the Omnisentient Threads to locate those among the Myriad Solar Sects and kill them first. That would also be his final warning to the specters. Perhaps they, too, could sense the change in the sun’s new decision maker.

When the situation was more stable, Tianming proceeded to the next step, making every second count. He was going to illuminate the last dragon palace, the Imperialdragon Palace that now bore the miniaturized nova source.

In the cosmos above the Welkin plane, the burning white and gold star seemed to have finally calmed down. Even so, the raging flames billowed on the surface of the enormous star like waves. The fiery waves were at least tens of thousands of meters tall. Getting close to them was terrifying. All signs told outsiders that the war was over. Ripples appeared from time to time not too far away in space where a dark red circular shadow flickered and disappeared. It was an extremely advanced divine astralship, capable of hiding itself in space. Only by being very close to the astralship could one see the misdirection formation on its surface and get a glimpse of it. Judging from its distance from the sun, it would be impossible to find it if one were standing on the surface of the sun, but one could see what was happening on the surface of the sun from inside the astralship.

“Continue monitoring! I’ll enter the wondersky realm!” Qiang sounded like he was about to lose his voice.

“My eyes don’t deceive me, right? It’s really him! His features are so conspicuous, those gold and black eyes, that black left arm, and long white hair.”

While the other faceless specters were still in shock, Qiang of the Crimsonjade line had already entered the wondersky realm. Skyways Monostar, Bistar, and Tristar shared one wondersky realm between them. It was the largest wondersky world, surpassing the Astraldome in size. In there, countless mysterians cultivated, practiced fighting, and passed on their teachings to their descendants. The wondersky realm had greatly increased the efficacy of cultivation, as well as the exchange of information. They had access to better cultivation and training experiences, as well as opportunities for extraordinary resources. It was all interconnected and played a critical role in terms of conveying information.

“Father!” The hundred-year-old sovereign, Qiang, arrived amidst the clouds and blood mist in the sky. In the depths, a ball of blood spread toward him. At the same time, a profound voice rang in his ear.

“Any new discoveries?”

“Yes! A very important one!” Qiang said. The mysterians had no facial features, so the emotions they could express were limited, and most of the time they appeared indifferent.

“Speak.”

“I told you before that there were two rulers on that ancient star. We’ve verified that one of them was the sun emperor, but the other had been hiding in the astralship formation and had yet to show up. But just now, we caught a glimpse of what he looks like!” Qiang excitedly said.

“You sound excited, so it must be an acquaintance,” said the blood mist.

“Yes, an acquaintance that neither you nor I expected,” Qiang replied.

“Unexpected? Could it be someone from the divine wondersky race?” the blood mist asked.

“No! You’ll never guess it….”

“Then stop beating around the bush and tell me.”.

“Yes! Father, he’s the one I’m supposed to fetch from the Violetglory Star, Li Tianming! He’s the nonabane genius. I never thought that he would be on this ancient star, not Violetglory!” Qiang sounded shocked.

“What?! Are you sure?” The blood mist solidified, turning into a blood-red jade giant shrouded in shadows. He stared at Qiang, towering above him like a mountain.

“Everyone saw it. I’m a hundred percent sure! The sun emperor was in control of the astralguard formation, so we didn’t want to approach too closely in case we exposed ourselves. But when they destroyed Skywolf earlier, we took advantage of the chaos to capture a few specters. Not only did we confirm Li Tianming’s identity, but we also learned some unbelievable news!”
