Chapter 575: 575

Li Wudi asked Tianming about the whole matter, but he didn’t dare to say too much . He just gave him a brief explanation about how his father was still being pursued by someone even more powerful than the autarch .

Li Wudi immediately understood their troubles .

“If you’re going to die if you can’t escape, you might as well flee . I’ll remain here anyway, as nobody can match up to me here . As long as I’m here, you’ll always be welcome here,” Li Wudi said .

“Definitely . “

“If you get beat up outside, come back and complain to me . “

“What will you be able to do about it?”

“I promise not to laugh at you,” he said with a sly smile .

“You’re not my real father, after all . “

“Your real father slipped away long ago . To think you still dare to bring him up . . . . “

They didn’t have much time left . Once they left, it wasn’t even certain whether they would ever return alive . With that thought in mind, Tianming wanted to bid everyone farewell .

“Tianming, I’ve seen all the surprises this life has to offer . I no longer have any lingering regrets . I’ll be traveling around in the future . Who knows, I might even run into you,” Weisheng Yunxi said .

“I’m envious, Palace Lord . You’re finally about to enjoy the retired life,” Tianming said . “Nonsense . I should be the one envying you young folk . I hope I’ll be able to hear your name ring throughout the Flameyellow Continent one day . “

“I’ll do my best . But you’d better not lose your hearing before then . “

Weisheng Yunxi chuckled at that remark . She pointed at Li Wudi and said, “Tianming, once you manage to build a firm foundation for yourself outside, you should come back to your godfather’s Decimo Dao Nation . Perhaps he’ll manage to ascend to godhood and claim the surrounding area as the Decimo Divine Realm,” she said .

“I’ll leave that to him then . ” He turned to Li Wudi and said, “Congratulations on becoming emperor . ” Decimo Divine Realm did have a good ring to it .

“Actually, I much prefer being able to roam around freely . I’ll leave the management of the nation to Shaoqing,” he said with a chuckle .

“Damn you, you piece of crap!” Ye Shaoqing’s smiling face instantly grimmed . “Why are you asking me to clean up all your messes? Am I your dad or something?”

“Master, you’d better get used to it . That’s how he treats his lovers,” Tianming said .

“Excuse me?!” Ye Shaoqing’s whole body shivered .

If Tianming were honest, he really didn’t feel like leaving them behind . He deserved a good rest and celebration with them after their hard-fought victory, but he didn’t have that luxury .

“Grandfather . ” Tianming gave him a deep hug .

“Go, child . You better think up a few ways to extend my life,” Wei Tiancang said .

“Will do . “

“Good grandson, Granny wants a hug too,” Li Jingyu said .

“Haha, alright . “

Feiling was definitely going to leave with him, too . She had gone to fuse the innate and acquired godchild bodies to form a complete divine body .

“Ling’er, is this their plan to take you away or something? It was quite a long time before we were reunited, but you’re going to leave right away . . . you have to be careful . . . ” Jiang Qingluan said .

“Are you badmouthing me again?” Tianming asked .

“Give me . “

“What?”

“A bribe for taking my sister, you dolt . “

“I had it ready long ago . ” He tossed her a spatial ring as promised . There were all kinds of treasures within that could easily make her one of the most powerful people in the Decimo Dao Nation .

“Qing’er, I have a few gifts for you too,” Feiling said, still teary eyed about their imminent departure .

“Waaaah!”

They broke down in tears .

Bai Zijin pinched his cheeks with a smile and said, “Don’t die . “

“Alright . ” Tianming nodded obediently .

“Big Brother, when will we meet again?” Qingyu said . Her lips shook as tears fell .

“When the flowers bloom again in spring . “

“You liar . “

“Don’t worry . Once it’s safe, I’ll come back and take you traveling . I’m worried that I’ll cause trouble for you if I stay . “

“I know . I’ll be waiting . “

“Come, give me a hug . “

“Fine . “

Tianming stroked her head . He found it rather weird that even though they weren’t related by blood, he felt no romantic desire toward her at all . It was like she was his real sister .

Finally, he turned to Ye Lingfeng . “Feng, I’ll be embarking on a really dangerous trip . So, I don’t want you to come along . “

Li Muyang had told him all about the potential dangers . If he was found before he could ascend to godhood, he would die a horrible death . It was already enough that he was taking Feiling along, so he really didn’t want Ye Lingfeng to join him on such a perilous journey .

“Brother Tianming, I’ll do whatever you say,” he said as he clutched his fists and endured .

“Do you want to go to Archaion too?”

“A little, but I respect your decision . “

“How about this: I’ll check the place out first . If it looks fine, I’ll come back and take you with me . “

“Alright!” Ye Lingfeng nodded excitedly . It really did seem like he badly wanted to tag along .

Currently, Tianming had no idea about Archaion at all, and Ye Lingfeng was the current wielder of the Evil Suppression Pillar . So he couldn’t afford to let Ye Lingfeng go there without checking if it was safe enough .

Based on how even Xuanyuan Xu knew about the Grand-Orient Sword and Prime Tower, Tianming figured he shouldn’t use them too readily when he was there, lest he attract any unwanted attention .

“For now, you should let all eighty thousand souls of your race rest well . It’s only a short parting . We are brothers and we’ll definitely meet again one day . “

“Understood . “

Tianming hoped Ye Lingfeng would understand his troubles . Thanks to the danger brought by the Primordial Chaos Beasts, he was in a really perilous position . There was no telling whether he would drag the others down with him . While he couldn’t get Feiling to leave him, he could at least try to convince Ye Lingfeng . Now that he had dealt with all the loose ends, staying any longer would only be tempting death . He took a few steps back and bowed to everyone .

“Till we meet again, everyone! Farewell!”

He then took Feiling’s hand and left without turning back . All of his family and friends remained there for quite some time even after he was gone .

. . . . . .

Li Muyang had shown him a route he could take . First, he would depart from the Divine Capital and travel north along the Northvoid River to the Northern Voidsea . Then he was to travel west along the coastline to reach the Canal of the Dead .

The canal stretched from the sea across the continent, cutting off the whole of the eastern part of the continent, within which the Theocracy was located . He would then cross the Canal of the Dead from the coastline of the Northern Voidsea to reach Archaion, one of the Nine Divine Realms .

The Archaionfiend Eye Li Muyang had tasked him to retrieve was located at the Archaion Sect, which was among the top sects in the entirety of the Flameyellow Continent . It was far greater in scale compared to the Grand-Orient Sect, being in a whole different league . That was the true center of the Flameyellow Continent where gods ascended .

“Traveling by water is much more convenient for us . “

The route Li Muyang suggested was the fastest one he could take, thanks to Lan Huang, who was all too happy to splash about in the Northvoid River .

“Swimming is so much fun!” it cried with both of its heads . Its voice was so deafening that it shook Tianming and Feiling’s eardrums .

Ying Huo stood atop the tallest peak on Lan Huang’s back with its two wings proudly thrust against its waist . This was its attempt at a cool pose . Meow Meow, on the other hand, stretched in its sleep within Feiling’s embrace .

“What’s up with these three?” Feiling chuckled . The beasts weren’t fazed in the slightest by the Aeonic Grandbane, and they seemed just as carefree about the pursuers that had been hunting Li Muyang throughout his ten lifetimes .

“Either they’re really brave, or there’s something wrong with their heads . “

“But they seem so cheerful about it,” Feiling said with envy .

Tianming was seated on Lan Huang’s brown head . He looked at the black-colored sea in the distance with a sense of agitation . “Walking hand in hand with someone precious through the perils of the mortal coil . . . such is life . “

“I think I’m gonna puke . ” Feiling feigned vomiting .

“Would you dare? Young one, don’t be so arrogant . Now, it’s just the two of us . Once I can no longer hold myself back, you’d better be careful . . . . Hehehe . . . “

In a flash, Ying Huo swooped over and Meow Meow snapped awake . They almost had their popcorn ready to enjoy the show .

“Do it,” Ying Huo encouraged .

These shameless animals! Tianming took out the fourth egg from his lifebound space, and the air around them was filled with a fragrance .

Feiling liked the egg so much that she stopped spoiling Meow Meow . Stroking it, she asked, “Big Brother, what kind is it?”

“I have no idea . There wasn’t a place in the Theocracy that matched its hatching conditions, so I plan to give it another try in Archaion . It’s the center of the continent, after all, so it could work out there . “

“I feel like it’s different from the other three . It’s probably a girl . I really hope it hatches soon, I’m already overwhelmed by these three troublemakers . ” As she spoke, the egg rolled around excitedly in her hands .

“Yeah . I’ll look into how to make it hatch if I have the chance . “

“It if works, you’ll be a quadruple beastmaster . I wonder if someone like that exists anywhere else . “

“Just because nobody in the Theocracy has four beasts doesn’t mean there isn’t anyone in all nine of the Divine Realms . We’ll see . ” He looked ahead in anticipation . “But that doesn’t matter . Our goal is to explore and conquer the Flameyellow Continent . One day, I’ll become a sovereign of the entire continent, far greater than my godfather . “

“Is it really fine to boast before you even arrive?” Feiling said with a snicker .

“Don’t you know that fortune favors the boastful?”

“Was that how the saying went again?”
