Beastmaster of the Ages

Apart from the Sun and Ebonia, the worlds were desolate and underdeveloped as far as Tianming was concerned.

”The gigantic network of omnisentient threads is able to stretch as far as a year’s distance away from the Sun by the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. I wonder what it’ll be like if I can set up the network across the entire mundus....”

The thought of an endlessly spanning net of black and gold seemed to awe him even more than the primordial forms of his lifebound beasts that he had seen in his dreams. The Infinitum Mundus was so wide that it would take thirty years for the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to cross it at full speed!

Space was so large that not even divine astralships could easily bridge the distances. The only thing that could stretch through space and time was the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, yet his omnisentient threads seemed capable of a similar feat!

”The Tianming Dynasty’s still mainly constrained to the Sun and Ebonia. But once I develop it more, I’ll be able to defend the entire Infinitum Mundus.”

Tianming returned to the Sun and told his seniors about the change. They were initially shocked, but soon had many new ideas.

”Leave it to us!” Xiaodao said.

”How’re you going to go about it?” Tianming asked.

”We’ve already been establishing the foundation of your dynasty across the entire mundus for a while now. Quite a lot of star worlds already acknowledge your rulership. Apart from the omnisentient threads you have from Gladeus, the rest should be from those worlds. Many youths aspire to be like you after hearing of your legendary feats,” Xiaodao said.

Lin Xiao added, ”However, the faith in your dynasty was limited because the Sun and Ebonia were plagued by red dust. People were starting to think that there’d be no hope for the Infinitum Mundus, but everything’s changed now!”

Xiaodao said, ”From now on, we’ll send astral gods and peak normal gods to other star worlds on divine astralships. Then we’ll spread the news of what happened using transmission stones everywhere. We’ll also broadcast your miracles and build shrines dedicated to you. We’ll even have people from Infinitum and Skydome interact so that everybody can learn the truth!”

”Most importantly, we have to let them know that you alone caused the entire populations of the Sun and Ebonia to break through! You were the one who restored the world that Shenxi Xingtian broke. I believe that, soon, the flames of your dynasty will spread across the astralscape!” Wudi said.

”Great! I’ll count on you all, then,” Tianming said.

”All you have to focus on is your own progress. Let us old folks take care of the housekeeping. At the end of the day, everyone across the many star worlds wants the same thing: the Infinitum Mundus’ prosperity. Even the hundred trillion people of Ebonia stand together with you. It’s only a matter of time before your omnisentient threads are everywhere,” Xiaodao said.

”This is the most important task we have for now. We’ll immediately get to work on it. First, we’ll spread word of what happened today using transmission stones,” Lin Xiao said.

Word of Tianming’s rapid rise after the Oldgod Domain had already spread far and wide in the Infinitum Mundus. Communication between star worlds in the mundus was actually more common than one would think; in fact, many denizens of the Sun and Ebonia had already begun spreading word of the good news far and wide, so Xiaodao and the rest didn’t even need to put in extra work to do that. All they had to do was ensure a constant rate of flow of good news.

The news of the breakthroughs brought by Tianming’s omnisentient threads would surely awe many. It was explosive news for everyone in the Infinitum Mundus. He soon realized that even without him doing anything, the number of his omnisentient threads constantly grew, to a terrifying degree.

As Wudi had said, the flames of the Tianming Dynasty burned bright across the Infinitum Mundus. Even if the gods of other worlds didn’t add up to more than the gods of Ebonia, it wouldn’t matter. As long as his dynasty had enough people, whether they were mortals or gods, it added up!

”The most important thing now is the formation of the Astral Net!” The base form of the net had already appeared. Tianming had tested it again and found that he could maintain the same level of power he had near the Sun and Ebonia in many parts of the Infinitum Mundus. As for the border regions of the mundus, he hadn’t had a chance to test it there since the wonderians didn’t have many markers in those areas.

”Even if the matters of Myriadpath Valley involve the Sun and Ebonia, it should be fine now.” The farther away star worlds were, the more isolated they would be. They would be like what Orderia used to be, thinking that they were the only star world in the universe and they wouldn’t even know much about the mundus they were in.

Tianming had obtained quite a lot more than he’d imagined during his trip back. Thanks to omnisentient will, I also managed to manifest my eighth cosmic chart. He had broken through to the eighth level on the Sun.

”I should be able to challenge for the top ten of the Fortuna Ranking now.” The benefit of doing that was that he would be allowed to learn fortuna-class battle arts from the myriadpath steles. All of them were signature battle arts of Myriadpath Valley. The steles, like the Myriadpath Celestial Formation and Myriadpath Sourcespring, were cornerstones of Myriadpath Valley that allowed them to dominate everything.

With Xiaodao as the strategist, Wudi as the father of the nation, and Lin Xiao as the grandfather of the nation all working hard to establish the Tianming Dynasty, Tianming himself didn’t have to worry about it at all. However, Xiaodao urgently wanted to see him on the day he had broken through to the eighth level.

”What’s up, Old Lin?” Tianming asked when he arrived at the Gladean Ruins.

”Well, we’ve been reaching out to all the star worlds in the mundus, right? I just got word from a heliacal-class world called Greensource.”

”Greensource? It’s a distant star, right?” Tianming wasn’t connected to any omnisentient threads from Greensource or he would have known its precise location.
