Chapter 3608 - Don't Test My Patience

"All of you, shut up!" the doll-faced wonderian roared. "Idiots! Fools! Domestic pets!"

"Booger snot! Fly off now, won’t you?" Ying Huo mocked.

"Li Tianming! Mind your pets!"

"They're your elder siblings," Tianming said.

"Nonsense!" The doll-faced wonderian angrily pointed at Ji Ji. "At the very least, that one hatched after I did!"

"So what if you hatched before I did? Your elder sibling seat was left empty when you ran away, so I took it over," Ji Ji said, rolling its eyes.

Sixth was completely speechless. It glared at Tianming and said, "If you don't get your pets in line, I'll make all your women strip!"

Tianming was stunned. "It can't be—are you just some horny brat?" It was acting far too childish!

"I see that you're afraid! Remember it!" It seemed happy to finally get a word in. "Mark my words! Immediately come to Antiquitas Mortis! You have a woman there, too. If you don't come, you'll regret it! There's more than enough wild perverts there!"

Tianming was speechless.

"Did you hear me?!"

"I did, I did," Tianming said in resignation. He found the rebellious brat really hard to deal with. Brats like it were far too emotional and didn't consider the consequences of their actions. They could end up causing lots of serious trouble.

"Hehehe... you’d better not make me wait too long, or else! Hahaha.... Hahahahaha!"

Tianming didn't know how to feel about its sinister laugh; it was annoying and frustrating. "Do you know about the Ancient Oldgod Domain?"

"Of course I do! That's where I came through to look for you!"

"Then where's Feng and my little sister?"

"Them?" The expression on Sixth’s doll-like face turned odd before it glared at Tianming and smiled. "What do you think? I managed to take control of them! Whether they live or die depends on me."

"Is that so?" Tianming knew that was definitely a lie, or it wouldn't have to threaten him using Zi Zhen. There was still hope.

"Li Tianming, don't test my patience!" It gave its final warning.

Tianming wouldn't dare. The brat was far too unstable, so there was no telling what it would actually do. The issue was that it had many ways to get to him, as he had witnessed.

I had wanted to start seeking the Ancient Oldgod Domain right after taking over Myriadpath Valley to ensure Feng and Qingyu's safety in the first place, so this came at the right time.

However, the threats from his sixth lifebound beast made his plan even more urgent. Not to mention, the involvement of the wonderians made the formation of the Tianming Dynasty in the Million Mundi and Myriadpath Valley even more complicated. Wudi was still quite worried about Qingyu back in Infinitum. That was why Tianming was in such a hurry to take over Myriadpath Valley; he needed the Myriadpath Celestial Formation to start his search for the Ancient Oldgod Domain.

"I'll give you some time to deal with the trivial matters here in Myriadpath Valley. You must come right after that!" the doll-faced wonderian spat.

"I'm still worried about more wonderians coming!" Tianming said.

"That’s none of my business."

As long as Sixth didn't leak information about him to the wonderians, it would be good enough. The doll-faced wonderian's eyes dimmed and he fell to the ground, astrons scattering. He died just like that, and the brat's oppressive aura completely vanished.

The two-million-plus people around seemed dazed, as if they didn't know what had happened. Everything resumed right after a pause, and all the wonderians had died before they’d realized it. Once more, echoing cheers for the return of their emperor rang out nonstop. Tianming was able to take the strongest form of the Galactic Emperor in Myriadpath Valley, making him an undefeatable monarch. He was brimming with so much power that he alone lit up the entire valley.

The cultivators didn't seem to even perceive anything that’d had to do with the doll-faced wonderian, so their faith in Tianming was still as strong as when he’d killed Zhoutian Shenhai. With the fall of Qitian Xiao, Suishen Ranxing, and Zhoutian Shenhai, the dust had finally settled on the great upheaval in Myriadpath Valley.

The name of Emperor Tianming would spread all across the astralscape. Everyone in Myriadpath Valley was united. While Tianming still had matters to take care of in the Xenoabyss, he still had some time to deal with the aftermath, since Sixth had said as much. He had to make sure that things there were stable enough so that the subjects of his empire would have a smooth time transitioning.

As he rose skyward, cheers erupted nonstop. Finally, a change in leadership was taking place! Qitian Muyu, Yumo Diyan, House Qitian, and House Yumo had been eradicated. All of the baleful souls trapped within the bodies of the specters were finally liberated, as were the countless livestock farms in the Million Mundi that House Qitian had set up. A new era had dawned.

With a booming voice, Tianming announced, "From now on, Myriadpath Valley no longer exists in the astralscape of order! Today is the day of the founding of the Tianming Dynasty across the Million Mundi. Myriadpath Valley shall henceforth be known as the Imperial Capital, Tianmingopolis. Each mundus shall be a county! From now on, Tianmingopolis will no longer bar any of the mundus counties. Myriadpath rings will no longer be used! There will be no more black or gold rings. Everything will come under the dynasty's new institutions, which shall be situated in Tianmingopolis!"

Myriadpath Valley was more like a sect, which was quite different from an empire. Empires had more official bureaucrats that were selected based on their capabilities in the role itself, whereas sects tended to give ranks and positions to those who were strong. The imperial system had been used in Infinitum for quite some time and had been proven to be effective.

If Myriadpath Valley was opened up, it would be a waste to keep opportunities limited only to the strong. Instead, all kinds of talent were welcome and could easily access the capital through the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. The new era would be a fair and open one—those who were capable in ways other than cultivation would have chances to prove themselves rather than die on the first day at the Skyward Grandpath!

Completely changing the astralscape of order was really difficult, but with Myriadpath Valley taken over, there would be time for it.

"Down with Myriadpath Valley, long live Tianmingopolis!"
