Chapter 2675 - Pick Up My Grandparents

Once Tianming's body had sufficiently recovered, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb lifted off and soared into the starry sky.
Astralships and nova source worlds were intimately interconnected. Tianming lowered his head to look at the blazing Sun and had a feeling he was watching a painting from the mural in the Sky Palace's wooden house depicting the combination of the Flameyellow Imperial Star and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.
"The heliacal-class Sun was just the beginning, and the ether class can be considered the middle stage. The further we go, the more challenging it’ll become. I wonder when it'll reach the infinitum class?"
Devour Ebonia? That was unrealistic. Ebonia was a sixth-level world. It was far too vast and ancient, and consuming it would have far-reaching implications. Two-thirds of Gladeus had already made them shoulder a heavy responsibility.
Tianming's future targets were still unowned nova sources. That path was indeed ridiculously challenging, but he had managed to complete the construction of an ether-class Sun at around the age of fifty, which he was quite satisfied with.
"After this, with the Sun and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb as two major bases, I can freely roam the Infinitum Mundus. Who would dare to provoke me?" No one would, so he could peacefully develop! The only thing he cared about right now was Lingfeng, Qingyu, and the sixth Primordial Chaos Beast. "I wonder if Sixth not having returned is the reason that the remaining three little ones haven't moved either."
Tianming was curious. The last three Primordial Chaos Beasts should be quite interesting.
The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was replenished with miniature nova source and rushed into the boundless starry sky. The nation-founding war was finally over, and the Sun had won an overwhelming victory. It was time to reunite with the Lin Clan.
After Tianming left, Wudi remained busy, keeping the Flameyellow Guard Formation on high alert.
After the Second Exterminatus Army had been defeated, the Ebonfiend abandoned the idea of any further attacks and changed course to meet up with Shenxi Tianxi and the Ebonfiend Minor. The two defeated armies, or rather remnants of armies, faced the sealed Ebonia. As for where they would go in the future, Tianming and Xiaodao didn't care!
......
A dozen days later.
After confirming that the Ebonfiend had passed by the Lin Clan fleet, the Gladean Ruins, which had been keeping an eye on it, turned around and joined Lin Xiao's group.
Tianming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news. Over a billion members of the Swordgod Lin Clan and Grandnorth Dongshen Clan were safe once again.
Once the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, now traveling at full speed, was activated, its speed surpassed that of the Gladean Ruins by quite a margin. Without a doubt, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was currently the most powerful astralship in the Infinitum Mundus. Even an infinitum-class artifact might not be able to break through it. Moran had also always been around, which could further enhance the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb's combat power.
Traveling through the stars at super-high speed, Tianming was beyond the reach of anyone. Finally, he stood on the nine-headed dragon and, at the end of the starry sky, saw a massive group of about seven hundred gigantic swords!
"I didn't expect them to fight their way out on their own...." Seeing the bloodstains on those astralships, Tianming was somewhat dazed. He’d been unconscious for some time, so he had no idea how intense the breakout battle of the Lin Clan had been. Now, looking at those scarred astralships, he could somewhat imagine it and had to admit that he was very impressed!
"Let's go pick up my grandparents!"
Lin Xiao needed to control the Grandvoid, while Xiaodao needed to control the Gladean Ruins. Tianming had just arrived when Xiaodao reminded him that the ancestral world monster was likely still among the Lin Clan's group. He advised Tianming against leaving the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.
"Okay." He could only keep his excitement in check. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and the Gladean Ruins escorted the Lin Clan's sword-ships. Although they couldn't meet in person, they could use transmission stones for a collective ‘online meeting’.
The return journey began, and in front of Tianming, Feiling, Xiaoxiao, and Moran were a row of transmission stones. Among them, the figures of Lin Xiaodao, Lin Xiao, Lin Changkong, Lin Xiong, Dongshen Yue, and others were visible.
After more than a decade apart, Dongshen Yue was finally seeing her grandson and granddaughters-in-law again. Even if it was just a holographic projection from a transmission stone, tears flowed freely from her eyes. Having experienced life and death on the front line, seeing her descendants thriving and standing tall was an experience that ordinary people couldn't comprehend. She was overwhelmed with emotion and her words were incoherent as she continuously expressed gratitude for the blessings of her ancestors.
"You, old lady, aren't you usually quite sharp-tongued? How come you're at a loss for words today?" Lin Xiao teased.
Dongshen Yue slapped him on the forehead and, with her hands on her hips, said, "I’m perfectly sharp-tongued when I beat you up."
"Haha!" The scene couldn't help but make people laugh.
After relaxing, Dongshen Yue finally emerged from her emotional state. She couldn't help but focus on Tianming's wives, asking them a barrage of questions. In her words were subtle hints of “great-grandchild" and similar terms.
"Alright, go away! Why’re you in a hurry? They’re still kids!" Lin Xiao blew his mustache and glared.
"You aren’t in a hurry? Who's the one smiling foolishly at little kids every day? You're acting all saintly here, I'll shut your mouth up!"
They got into another argument.
But it didn't matter; there was plenty of time ahead. The journey home was long, and there were so many things they hadn't talked about over the past ten years that they could chat all about now.
After relaxing, they got down to business.
"How’s the situation on Ebonia right now?" Lin Changkong asked.
"Yi Daiyan activated the astralguard formation of Ebonia, pronouncing the collusion with Rex Mundi Meng Ying as a grave crime of treason. Anyone from the six regal clans within various major institutions of the Infinitum Bodhimanda has had their authority temporarily suspended," Xiaodao said.
"What's next? Has she declared to mobilize the remaining forces of the Infinitum Bodhimanda to attack the ebons and the other five regal clans?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Not yet. Those six regal clans all have guardian formations that’re high-sanctuary-class or higher. The ebons especially have their foundation in the underground world. If they choose to hunker down, it’d cost a heavy price to capture them without an infinitum-class ship.
"Yi Daiyan, even with the support of three regal clans, doesn't have a real advantage in terms of war. The ebons suffered heavy losses in order to take us down, and she won't make the same mistake."
Xiaodao continued, "Compared to the ebons, Yi Daiyan’s personal strength is still growing. With control over Ebonia, as well as her status as the nominal representative of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, she has no reason to rush. So, I estimate that although she’s finally taken action, it's only a first step.
"Next, she will probably let the ebons on Ebonia and their lackeys feel threatened and gradually make mistakes. Starting with the other five regal clans, she’ll clean house step by step. She’ll gradually undermine the ebons’ advantage on Ebonia, isolating them and turning them into a rat sneaking around on Ebonia. In the end, she’ll truly control all the forces on Ebonia. But before that happens, Shenxi Xingtian won't be able to return to Ebonia and can only wander around outside!"
