Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2020

It was clear that the elements that could hatch Sixth must be in the xenomemory space—that is, the alternate world. In Fifth’s dream, that huge, cloud-like beast had crawled out of the alternate world. In fact, Tianming was just as anxious as Sixth about its birth. However, he was completely unfamiliar with the alternate world. It was all chaos the last time he had rescued Lingfeng. There’s no way he would go in alone before Lingfeng regained consciousness. Under his earnest persuasion, the little white egg was obviously annoyed. Angrily returning to his lifebound space, it hid in the corner and remained motionless.

"My head hurts. They all have attitudes," Tianming smiled helplessly.

After Sixth returned, Tianming and Qingyu went to check on Lingfeng. The expansion of the Xenomemory Gate wasn’t so rapid. "He shows no sign of waking up. The Soulfiend, either." Tianming was helpless.

"Big Brother, I'll watch over him here. If there’s any changes, I'll let you know at once," Qingyu softly said. Her father was also unconscious. During this period of time, she silently suffered, afraid to take her eyes off them for a moment.

"Make sure to watch the Xenomemory Gate. Let me know if it starts expanding faster."

At present, the unification of the sun had entered the final stage and the problem of the specters was basically solved. The next step would be to take down the celestial orderians without a fight. That required subduing, not war.

Three days later, there was finally some good news—Li Wudi had awoken. He was full of vigor, his body completely healed. However, his soul was still weak. After more than a month of recuperation, he was finally back. The siblings breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been a weight off their shoulders if it weren’t for Lingfeng's uncertain condition.

"Father!" Qingyu couldn't hold back her tears as she rushed into Li Wudi’s arms like a child.

"Take it easy. You’re going to knock over your old man!" Pushing her aside, Li Wudi straightened his limbs and stretched. The sound of bones cracking and joints popping filled the room. He still possessed astralforce belonging to a sovereign and his body seemed to be in great shape.

"Come out here and stretch your limbs, old pal!" A blood-red sovereign beast emerged from his lifebound space. It was an enormous kunpeng enveloped in bloody flames. It was formerly a void kunpeng, but had later evolved into an ancient infernalblood kunpeng. Now that it was a sovereign beast, it was called a solar infernalblood kunpeng. Both man and kunpeng were alive.

"Are you okay?" Leaning against the doorpost, Tianming looked at him with a smile.

"I’m fine. I survived, I can take anything. The journey was thrilling as hell, but I gained a lot. Old Ye will die of envy if he hears about this!" He turned around and smiled, squinting his eyes as he studied Qingyu’s present appearance. Sighing emotionally, he said, "This is great! Little girl, the hard times are over for us and good times are just starting. Looks like our luck is linked to each other."

"Only a careless man like you can still laugh. Don’t you know how hard it was for you to live?" Qingyu was still in a trance.

"To hell with the journey! The hard part’s over, so forget about that. The sun emperor sure was great, but he couldn’t beat me when it comes to being a father. With you two kids around, I’ll be living it up. And with my awesome son-in-law, our family is complete!" He placed his arms around Tianming and Qingyu’s shoulders, looked at the two children, and heaved a long sigh of relief. "As long as you’re safe, that’s all that matters!"

Safe. It was a very simple word, but only they knew how much they had sacrificed to be able to stand there safe and sound. Li Wudi had played an important part as well. It was he who’d stolen the Solar Wheel so the Myriad Solar Sects had a chance to keep fighting. Despite the merging of their souls, Li Wudi had never died. He had even managed to obstruct the Flameyellow Coffin several times during the pursuit. That required the will to live, as well as a fighting spirit.

"By the way, where’s Feng?" Li Wudi asked.

"He’s still unconscious."

"No way, he’s slower than me? Is he pretending to be unconscious because he’s afraid of seeing your old man?" Li Wudi teased.

"When did you start talking nonsense when you’re sober?”

"Are you still shy?" Li Wudi learned about Lingfeng's situation, though he had no idea about the details. action

"Speaking of drinking, let’s have a few and chat a little to clear up my confusion." Li Wudi stared wide-eyed as Tianming pulled out the fine wine that he had prepared a long time ago

"My son’s the best. Daddy’s girl? That’s bullshit, you’re not thoughtful at all!"

"Get lost."

"I’m getting old. My girl doesn't love me anymore!"

"Have you always been so naggy?" Qingyu glared at him.

"I haven't spoken for too long, it’s killing me!" Li Wudi retorted.

Qingyu looked at him speechlessly, her gaze slightly trembling. After a pause, she said: "Never mind, just drink as much as you want today."

"It's fine, I'm not some weak mortal. Drinking won’t do a thing to this body." Reminding him to drink less was a habit that had been formed over fourteen years. "I’ll accept your good intentions!" Father and daughter looked at each other and laughed. It was sunshine after the rain; nothing had changed.

......

The enormous Ninedragon Imperial Tomb soared amidst the flaming white and gold clouds that formed a sea of fire. After the destruction of the Sky Palace Formation, places like the Myriaddragon Mountains were being rebuilt and expanded. Going forward, the tomb would be Tianming's mobile base of operations, or perhaps a mobile palace. At the moment, the tomb was moving north, entering the territory that had originally belonged to the celestial orderians. With the specters’ decision and the defeat of the sun emperor, the chaos of war was finally over. There were many things waiting to be done, and new life was springing up everywhere. By regulating the nova source through the Flameyellow Guard Formation, Tianming had improved the living conditions on the sun.

Only one thing remained to do: establish the Tianming Dynasty, which would restore the social order and unify the sun. It was a critical step that would basically determine how long the four hundred billion Omnisentient Threads would last. People believed in him because they yearned for peace and a good life. If the sun was taken over by war and chaos again, his rule wouldn’t last long.

Father and son sat on the tomb. "Do you see the look in their eyes? They’re all waiting for a supreme power to reorganize the world and bring about a new order. They’ve completely let go of the conflict between the Myriad Solar Sects and celestial orderians.” Li Wudi lay on his side, overcome with emotion as he looked down.

Tianming nodded. "So what’s the secret experiment you mentioned before? Have you figured it out?" he asked.
