Chapter 3897 - Onward to the Ruins

"Some other place? What are you talking about?" Tianming asked.

"Within the Sea of Order above God Domain Nine is a vast space where a certain race lives," Bai Ling said.

"Oh?" Tianming recalled the order apians and Huang Qi! "They're up to something, huh?"

"The vita must have already sensed something from what you're doing down here," Bai Ling said.

"Alright. We'll deal with it as soon as we're able," Tianming agreed. Going up now was definitely risky, so it was enough for them to take this into account.

"Come to think of it, you sure have shifted sides rather quickly to start warning us for our benefit now," Bai Ye said provocatively.

"That's because I hate it more than I hate you! Who do you think you are?" Bai Ling said.

"Your elder brother, of course," Bai Ye said.

"Curse you!"

The true jackpot would only come later. Tianming went straight to God Domain Four to shut off the transfer formation from God Domain Five. That way, he had claimed all four lower god domains.

Coming from God Domain One, the relative emptiness of these three god domains seemed to nag at him. Bai Ling had slaughtered the whole orderly population here, leaving it nothing but a silent husk. On the other hand, these god domains did produce quite a lot of overflow fragments.

"There's even grade-nine overflow fragments!" Tianming had managed to secure a steady source of resources for another round of rapid breakthroughs. Going from owning one god domain to four meant a huge boost in production of overflow and order fragments. This would also help the growth of the cultivators in the Sun and the imperial capital.

Most importantly, Zi Zhen had to grow stronger quickly enough to be able to defend these four god domains, and the overflow fragments would help her with that. She had not made any progress for far too long.

After collecting many overflow fragments, she began to cultivate. Tianming would only leave this place once she reached the ninth level of the Overflow stage. Seeing her shrouded in purple mist after she sat down cross legged, Tianming relaxed and began looking for treasures in God Domain Four.

Bai Ling noticed him dragging the cosmic god essences with him and brought up the fact that the administrator of Order College in God Domain Four had a mid-imperial-class spatial ring that could store cosmic god corpses. Naturally, the administrator had also been killed.

Tianming claimed the ring and gave it a try, managing to store the cosmic god essences of Tong Zhi into it!

"This ring looks rather good. It suits you," Tianming said, looking at Moran. The ring was ink-green like her hair.

"Put it on for me, will you?" she said, looking him in the eye.

"Sure!" He held her dainty hand. Even though she was only ten meters in height, it made for quite a picturesque sight when Tianming knelt down to put the ring on her finger.

Moran seemed greatly delighted by the gift and gesture. "I'll consider this a marriage proposal."

Tianming smiled awkwardly and said, "Now I feel bad for giving you something I picked off the ground."

Right then, the purple haze shook as Zi Zhen looked over. Coldly, she said, "I wasted an overflow fragment. How frustrating...."

Tianming felt an awkward silence, but Zi Zhen managed to make swift progress after that. It took only around two days for her to reach the ninth level. In this state, if her rage was sufficiently stoked to allow her to use her ninehall eyes, her combat capabilities could rival those of cosmic gods.

With that, Tianming could rest assured. It was time for them to part once more.

"You're rushing to leave again, it seems," Zi Zhen said, her arms behind her back as she turned her head down to look at him with a pout.

"I have no choice. I still haven't been able to see my sworn brother yet," Tianming said.

"You're always busy with one thing or another."

Tianming pursed his lips and couldn't bring himself to say anything else. Instead, he looked at her for a long while. "Don't worry. You're already at this age. Are you still afraid that you'll grow old waiting for me?"

"What are you even saying?!" She glared at him fiercely. "By the way, do you still have that mask?"

"Of course. I take it out every time I think of you. It's very precious to me," Tianming said.

"Hmph, there you go again with your nonsense. Alright, goodbye!" She turned to leave so quickly that Tianming lost his chance to hug her goodbye.

"I will come back again as soon as possible," Tianming said.

"Because of the monster above that you still have to catch?" Zi Zhen asked, turning back.

"No. I want to come back for you."

"Hmph! Make sure you mean it!"

***

They traveled to Anqituitas Mortis through the eye of heaven and then to the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. Tianming handed a huge load of order and overflow fragments to Jiguang. After a short period of catching up, he had to be on his way. After all, Moran and Qingyu were traveling with him, and he was once more a different size compared to Jiguang, so all he could do was endure it!

Tianming was also in a rush to head to the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins. He brought quite a lot of overflow fragments with him. Not to mention, Bai Ling had just returned, so he was well set for his next adventure.

Soon, they returned to the Sun in the Upper Star Ruin. After some preparations, Tianming met up with Qin Feng. He had been waiting silently for his return.

"Let's go to the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins!" Tianming said.

"There's no wormhole expressway there. We need to depart from Saturatia-49, so can we make a short trip back to Maplegod?" Qin Feng asked.

"Sure."

"By the way, my master has heard of the delay of my departure and instructed me to go to Saturatia-49 to pick up a few senior brothers and sisters along the way...."
