Victory was Tianming’s only option. He had created a miracle by wiping out Team Yingming. It would facilitate his request for the manna imperius once he returned to the Violetglory Star, thus achieving his main purpose of participating in this battle. He was almost certain the manna would fall into his hands. That aside, the other thing that excited him was the reward from the Mysterium Cluster. His pride as a top genius and the desire to conquer elites of the deific-class worlds fueled the spirit of challenge in him.
I must be aware of my own limitations. My parents aren’t by my side and I’m alone. Despite my achievements, there’s still risks I must face if I want to dominate the Violetglory Star, let alone the Mysterium Cluster. But fortunately, the gap between me and the top solarians of nova source worlds is growing smaller each day. Perhaps the day there are no longer any obstacles in my way is the day that I’ll set foot in the Mysterium Cluster. Once I receive the manna imperius, I’ll find a way to leave the Violetglory Star, look for a nova source world without a wondersky realm, and start from scratch…. That was his plan. It didn’t take a genius to realize that he couldn’t remain in the Violetglory Star after his performance in the Astraldome.
He took a deep breath and was taken away by the green light.
……
In a corner of Perplexity Island, Xiaoxiao witnessed the excitement of every man, woman, and child on Violetglory Star. With fervent gazes, they watched the white-haired young man until his figure was engulfed by green light. It was like she was looking in the mirror.
“It looks like a compatriot’s victory against top three geniuses from two deific-class worlds can stir up such enthusiasm in a remote nova source world.” Shaking her head, Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly. She had originally believed that faith could only be produced by salvation; because he saved the Flameyellow Continent, Tianming had received the faith of all living beings and formed Omnisentient Threads. Xiaoxiao also felt that he had rescued her. Filled with worship for him, she regarded him as a god. But now she realized that glory could also bring about faith.
The cultivators of the Violetglory Star were strong enough; they didn’t need to be rescued, but they were lonely and isolated. What they needed was glory, something to get their blood boiling. All of this, Tianming gave them. Hence, faith that even Tianming could never have imagined was formed in this wondersky realm. Waves of faith drove their excitement to a fever pitch.
“Can glory make them so excited?” Although she couldn’t understand it, Xiaoxiao had to admit the fact. She traveled all over the Violetglory Star’s wondersky realm, noting their frenzied gazes. The passion and madness in their eyes surpassed that of the people of the Flameyellow Continent. Tianming was no different from a drug.
“I’ll take a look outside.” After leaving the wondersky realm, she headed to Violetpeak. “What’s this?” She was completely stunned. Among Tianming’s believers, only she could see countless invisible threads extending from all over the Violetglory Star, taking root in Tianming’s albi. “Omnisentient Threads have been formed?!” Xiaoxiao couldn’t believe it. Eyes hazy with infatuation, she stared at the young man who was still fighting in the Astraldome. It was a miracle she couldn’t have dreamed of.
“In the Flameyellow Continent, he formed Omnisentient Threads with salvation, but today he used faith!” Although these Omnisentient Threads were merely a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the Violetglory Star, this particular faith came from gods. If Tianming were to borrow their strength, how powerful would he become? “Maybe he doesn’t know the answer, either.” Xiaoxiao couldn’t understand the significance of glory to the people of the Violetglory Star. For them, it was comparable to salvation. At this moment, Tianming was the most dazzling star in the sky; there was nowhere else in the universe where an entire star was filled with such fanatical enthusiasm, but over in the Mysterium Cluster, things were more complicated.
……
“What?” From the moment Ying had been defeated, Xiao’s expression turned ugly. Tianming’s counterattack had come so suddenly. In that instant, Xiao could sense a deathly silence enveloping the wondersky realm. It wasn’t until it all ended ten breaths later that a thunderous roar sounded. Xiao trembled with rage, his smooth face turning green.
“Esteemed Mother!” Xiao shouted, his heart crumbling.
“Stop yelling. There are astralships setting out from the Skyway Monostar, Bistar, and Tristar. Qiang, who was just speaking to you, has left.” A white cloud drifted over.
“That was fast.” Xiao was a little dumbfounded. After taking some time to compose himself, he added, “Esteemed Mother, what’ll happen when you bring him back? Will you kill him or remove his flesh as punishment? How can he remain intact after provoking us?”
“Don’t worry about it. You should cultivate well. I’m so embarrassed that you and your sister failed to enter the Astralium Seeking. Stay low and focus on your cultivation for now,” said the cloud.
“Yes!” Although Xiao nodded, he was still upset and distressed for Ying and himself because their performance had brought shame to the mysterians.
“The Astralium Seeking has yet to end. Who knows what else will happen?”
The white cloud gradually dissipated, but Xiao’s heart remained turbulent. “I’ll take a look outside!” It was as if chaos had descended on the world. Countless people were running around, cursing. His sister, Ying, had become a sacrificial lamb.
“Xiao, your whole family should die! You don’t deserve to be mysterians!” Soon, someone targeted him. Xiao quickly shrank back, aware that his life would be difficult for some time. “Li Tianming!” he said, clenching his fists. “You’ve definitely achieved fame. The entire Mysterium Cluster is talking about you.”
……
“Congratulations! You are the ninety-ninth person to have made it through. When the third round is over, all of those moving on to the next stage will be sent to the Astralium Seeking. Please wait,” said the wondersky fairy.
