Chapter 3978 - Use Them All You Like

In a quiet corner on the ark, Tianming watched the tiny person before him who was only thirty meters tall. Since the proportions were right, she didn't feel short, just tiny and cute.

"I noticed that you've changed," Tianming said, sitting in front of her with a smile.

"How have I changed?" Moran gave him a curious look.

"It feels like you've become deeper," Tianming said.

"Huh?" She bit her lip in slight confusion, as charming as usual.

"Well, deep in the vibe sense," Tianming said, clearing his throat.

"You might as well not even try to explain it." Moran rolled her eyes.

"Is that so?" He took out a spatial ring and said in a tone befitting of a generous tyrant, "Come, my dear! Grandpa here has a lot of gifts for you!"

He took out the essences of the wonderians one after another, lining them up before Moran. Though their souls had scattered, the middlekin astrons' power in their essences still remained. The biggest ones were around seventy meters across, even taller than Moran herself. Those essences looked like stars in the astralscape. Not only did they illuminate the ark, they also cast a really flattering light on her figure.

"So many?" Her cultivation had been on hold for quite a while, so the essences would be a huge boon to her. Her heart began beating with excitement as she shot Tianming a grateful look. "Thank you."

"You're welcome! Use them all you like. There's going to be more of them in the future," Tianming said. He had said that he would spoil her, and he wouldn't go back on his word. "If you're able to become a cosmic god, your life will completely change. At the very least, you'll have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years."

Tianming didn't want anyone to leave his side, so he would drag them along across the barriers of lifespan with him if he had to. Some around him improved slower than the rest, but he wouldn't give up on any of them.

"Tens of thousands of years?" That notion, as well as being able to travel the astralscape with her body alone, were things that she still couldn't quite fathom. She didn't think that a chance to completely change herself would come so soon. Back on the Sun, she and her sisters had been dealt a horrible fate by the dreamless celestial emperor. And Tianming was the one who had brought them to their blissful new life. They were simple and didn't want much, and wouldn't look to others for help, either. Like a school of little fish, all they looked forward to was the person who managed the pond to feed them.

"Then I'll start right now." She approached a cosmic god essence around thirty meters across. Not only was she able to wield the divine wonders within them like weapons, she was also able to consume the order within their caeli to nourish her own. Tianming nodded and arranged them in a row for her.

"I...." Moran stopped before saying anything else, still standing before that essence.

"What is it?"

"We’ll be loyal to you for eternity," she breathed, looking up at him.

"Shhh." Tianming smiled. "You don’t need to say it. I already knew how you felt just by looking at your eyes."

Moran blushed and looked down. "But I don't know how to repay you at all."

"Well, it isn’t that hard!" Tianming cleared his throat. "Once you become a cosmic god, We expect to see more sexy dance performances!" He even busted out the royal 'we', completely immersing himself in the role of the Galactic Emperor.

"You... fine...!" Seductiveness wasn't in her nature, but when the red dust had ravaged the Sun, she’d inadvertently discovered that Tianming liked that kind of thing, so she swallowed her embarrassment and let herself go. In fact, it was that slight hint of reluctance that made her even more exquisite, unlike dancers whose expressions just screamed, 'do whatever you want to me!'

Moran entered one of the essences through the hole that Tianming had made using Trilife Affection.

Life truly evolves in the most unexpected of ways. Even though these are nothing more than corpse balls, they look just like stars and don't smell like corpses at all. In fact, they even glow and shine,

Tianming thought. He stood guard by her side, watching as she consumed the orders that the wonderians had carefully cultivated over many years and assimilated them into her own. Hers was an ability that Feiling and Zi Zhen didn't have. It was similar to the Archaionfiend's caelum consumption, but even that was a crude imitation of Moran's complete assimilation of the caeli at best.

She's becoming more and more like the Tian Jiu of legend!

Tian Jiu had divided to give rise to the wonderians. As such, the wonderians' destiny was to one day reunite into Tian Jiu.

If she's really able to absorb the middlekin astrons and divine wonders of these cosmic god essences one day, she really must be Tian Jiu!

That day, however, was still quite a distance away. The most she could do now was consume the orders and control the essences from a distance.

Before, Moran had only absorbed a couple of orders from first- and second-level cosmic gods, reaching the third level of the Overflow stage. This time around, the hundred essences before her all belonged to third-level cosmic gods or above! Tianming had her start from the weakest ones to make sure every single essence was completely milked of all their value. If they did it the other way around, the weaker essences might no longer have much effect at all.

Moran only had to absorb a single one of those essences to reach the fourth level—or rather, for all fifty of them to reach that level! Tianming had drawn in a lot of flameyellow void essences as well, so she would have enough energy to convert into cosmoforce to strengthen her new astrons. The astron count of her other sisters also grew. They were all densely packed together, fifty in one.

"You broke through with only a single third-level cosmic-god essence! That's so efficient! Maybe you'll actually become a cosmic god!" Even though whether she reached that extent wouldn't really affect the effectiveness of her control over Shiming Shengshi's divine wonders, it

would

make her harder to kill and give her a longer lifespan. "Keep going."

"Okay." Moran grew at a rapid pace, growing more and more with each step. The more she grew, the faster she assimilated the orders in the wonderian caeli! By the time she had consumed eighty third- and fourth-level essences, she became a quasi cosmic god, only one step short from true cosmic godhood! And there were still twenty-five fifth-level essences left, as well as two seventh-level ones!

There's no doubt she'll become a cosmic god.

Tianming looked forward to seeing all fifty of them in cosmic god form. Knowing that they needed way more resources than normal people, he brought out fifty golden ninelives fruits. He was anything if not generous with his fish.

Other fish swam... his flew.
