Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming returned to Skyplunder Capital. Yin Chen had already updated him on the situation there. Everyone there was trapped in anxiety and tension.

They knew that their imperator and first imperial son had vanished.

Now even the imperial son, Li Tianming, had gone to the Yueling Starcage, his life or death unknown.

No one was more worried than Jiang Qingluan, who tightly clutched a silver cockroach and constantly demanded updates.

Yin Chen suffered in silence until it could finally report that Tianming was on his way back. It would let Tianming do the explaining for everything else. Jiang Qingluan finally calmed down somewhat.

So when Tianming arrived, he saw Imperator Cheng, Imperator Feng, and countless Mu Clan cosmic gods waiting above the capital, their undivided attention immediately shifting to him..

Seeing this, Tianming announced solemnly, “Everyone, I bring good news... and bad news.”

Jiang Cheng, Li Yanfeng, and the others’ hearts immediately sank.

The Grand-Orient Sword rose, lighting up the sky with its radiant sword-light. The markings etched onto the blade: three green flowers, eight crimson tombstones, and five silver swords, were clearly visible.

“The so-called Adjudicator Jie Ba, along with Dao San behind him, are no more!” Tianming declared. “Jie Ba was slain by my elder brother, Li Tianzi. And the stronger Dao San fell at my father’s hands!”

The announcement sent shockwaves through the crowd. The terrifying powers lingering on the Grand-Orient Sword also made it clear their strength had been refined into the weapon itself.

Though no one fully understood the details, one fact was undeniable: the Realm of Chaos had finally attained true peace.

Jiang Cheng and Li Yanfeng exchanged relieved smiles, finally letting out long breaths.

But Li Yanfeng suddenly remembered Tianming’s bad news. He hesitated before asking nervously, “Tianming... the bad news you mentioned... could it be...”

He glanced around Tianming, then behind him. Jiang Cheng understood immediately, his expression darkening.

But Tianming had already prepared his answer. Without missing a beat, he replied, “My parents, my brother, and Mu Qingqing are handling other matters for now.”

“They won’t be returning to Nullity anytime soon. Until then, Uncle Jiang and Uncle Feng will act as overseers for the Realm of Chaos.”

The explanation made things easier for everyone to accept.

And in a sense, it was true.

Li Tianzi, Li Muyang, and Wei Jing had not truly vanished. They had merely entered reincarnation.

As for Mu Qingqing, she still had a chance to return once Tianming found her truesoul.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng and Li Yanfeng exchanged doubtful looks, but neither pressed further.

The outcome was already far better than what they had feared.

Li Yanfeng stepped forward and placed a solemn hand on Tianming’s shoulder. “Tianming, from this day onward, we’ll make sure the Realm of Chaos prospers. We won’t disappoint your parents or your brother.”

Tianming nodded heavily. “Good.”

Looking around, he saw many cosmic gods already crying tears of relief.

Dao San and Jie Ba were dead.

At last, peace had truly arrived.

The imperatores of Aquamarine, Torch Dragon, Violetblitz, and Yueling had all met their ends in this conflict, leaving only two imperatores. This meant the universe was finally unified under Imperator Cheng of Vermilion Bird, Imperator Feng of the firemaples, and the sky plunderer lineage.

Across the imperial city, people began chanting the name of the Imperator Skyplunder, filling the world with exhilaration.

Tianming somberly raised several starsources into the air: the Violetblitz Starsource, the Aquamarine Starsource, the Torch Dragon Starsource, and the Yueling Starsource.

Finally, Tianming announced to the world:

“Today marks the day the Realm of Chaos ushers in an era of peace and unity under the Tianming Dynasty, governed jointly by Imperator Feng and Imperator Cheng!”

The new age began with thunderous applause and cheers.
