"It’s too much of a coincidence. Someone must be behind this." Frowning, Li Tianzi turned to Li Muyang. "Who do you think it is?"
"Considering the approach, it’s probably ‘Five’,” Li Muyang said.
"So she’s appeared as well?" Li Tianzi sighed, his face grim. "Tianming’s in hell mode right now. In hindsight, we should've reined him in slightly, rather than encourage such an aggressive push."
"It's meaningless to say that now. The brighter he shines, the more conflict he naturally invites, regardless of how aggressive his actions are," Li Muyang said, his gaze profound.
"How do we proceed if we must fight on two fronts?" Li Tianzi asked.
"We'll just have to put in extra effort on our end."
Looking at his eldest son, Li Muyang gently patted his shoulder and said, "These projections are their eyes. Without removing them, there’s no way out. Whatever is destined shall e to pass! Our murky lives are failed reincarnations, but if we can pave the way for him, we’ll have fulfilled our purpose."
"Just like Grandfather and Grandmother..." Li Tianzi said, lowering his head.
"Each of us has a purpose, and everything we do is worthwhile. Besides...” Li Muyang gazed intently at his eldest son. "You already know this; you're just another iteration of him. Every action you take ultimately benefits yourself. You represent a failed attempt, but without failure, how can there be any hope of success?"
“I understand, Father.” Eyes red, Li Tianzi silently grasped his father's hand before turning to leave."
“Where are you going?” Li Muyang asked.
“He wants dazzling radiances. What kind of older brother would I be if I didn't give them to him?” Li Tianzi turned around and smiled, before disappearing into the light.
“In the end, there’s no escaping it...” Wei Jing appeared behind Li Muyang, shaking her head as she sighed.
“How can we escape something as monumental as the Realm of Introspection?” Turning around, Li Muyang gently placed an arm around Wei Jing's shoulder. “But we still have a chance. Projections can only do so much. The cosmos separates us from them. Nothing gets out unless we lose.”“不过，我们还是有机会的，投影就是投影，他们都被宇宙体隔断了，只要我们不输，一切就传不出去。”
“Do we stand a chance?” Wei Jing asked softly.
“Of course!” Li Muyang looked toward the Kunruler Palace and said, “We’ll start small. Within the Realm of Chaos, we’ll protect Nullity’s chaos nova source.”
“What about the greenleaf tribulation that Tianming carries?” Wei Jing asked.
Upon hearing this, Li Muyang sighed. "He'll just have to bear it alone."
***
When Tianming emerged from the turbulent pathway and into Flameyellow Imperial Star, it was like stepping out of a gloomy downpour and into the blazing sun. He was instantly refreshed. As he stretched, a rapid sequence of cracks and pops emanated from his body.
The brilliance, order, and surging nova source before him made the Realm of Chaos feel like a dream, while this present world seemed real. The effusing order nova source and order that governed everything instilled a greater sense of stability and confidence in him.
"And of course... omnisentient threads!"
As his imperial order shone, an intricate network linking all omnisentient threads across the Upper Star Ruin began to form. Flameyellow descendants in countless fortuna-class worlds finally saw their long-awaited emperor. At that moment, the heart of every believer in the Upper Star Ruin was connected. An ocean of black and gold omnisentient threads, as boundless as the Heavenly Dao, converged upon Tianming's body and blanketed the cosmos.
His current form towered over Mushan Feng, as majestic as a mountain. It demonstrated the immense progress he made during his trip to the Realm of Chaos.
"My first order of business should be to give back to the people.”
Upon resuming his role as Galactic Emperor, Tianming didn’t use his omnisentient power, but spread his galaxy-class imperial order to benefit his believers. Flameyellow descendants and astral gods as well as low-level cosmic gods all over the Sun and the Primordial Sands soon experienced an unprecedented surge in their orders. At the same instant, countless people were achieving massive breakthroughs in their cultivation! In turn, their advances and increased power amplified his omnisentient power, and when this power flowed back to him, Tianming felt a boost twice as intense as before.
"Well, if everyone’s missed me this much, I suppose absence does make the heart grow fonder."
Tianming was amused. Back then, despite being a minor cosmic god, he managed to fight a 10,000-meter-tall cosmic god by drawing omnisentient power from believers across the Upper Star Ruin.
"And now..."
His natural strength as a fifth-level heavencosmic god was amplified by omnisentient power, so his total strength surged dramatically.
"This time, the emperor has achieved a massive leap in strength."
The five imperial-star elders, Dongfang Taisheng, Qinghe Xiao, Mushan Hong, Beitang Yan, and Nantian Huo, gazed admiringly at Tianming’s massive 10,000-meter form.
Shining with infinite brilliance, Tianming noticed the elders as well. Each of these men stood between the fourth and fifth levels of Primocosmic stage, which technically put them on par with Yueling Qian and Yueling Kun. In reality, they were significantly stronger as the limits to chaotic cosmoforce meant their counterparts' cultivation levels were inflated.
Even so, the bined effect of his personal breakthrough and the added omnisentient power gave Tianming confidence that his bat strength could now rival the five imperial-star elders, who represented the pinnacle of strength on this side.
Tianming took a deep breath and headed towards them.
Although they weled Tianming with joy, their eyes held a profound worry.
