Chapter 2026

Within the astralscape’s darkness, there was a shadowy area within the astralscape’s wilderness. Countless rock fragments and dust formed a natural cover that kept the area hidden.

The sun was hidden in that very area, which was how it had escaped the universe’s hunters and maintained its peace for countless years. If even nova source could be hidden by the darkness, an astralship would naturally be easily hidden. An astralship was but a drop in this vast sea, after all.

The astralship was shaped like a blood-colored ring and looked like a bloodstained bracelet. It seemed to be made from the same crimsonjade that the mysterians were made of. While it looked fragile, it was actually incredibly sturdy.

The mysterians had moved there only recently. When they looked down, they could see the white and gold sun that had once dominated their vision had now shrunk to the size of a washbasin.

“We’re close enough. We can see it if the sun moves, but Li Tianming will never find us,” Qiang imposingly said as he looked at the sun.

“Sovereign Qiang, aren’t we being too careful by moving so far? There’s too many obstructions nearby, so there’s no way they can find a hidden astralship even if they suspect we’re here,” his subordinate said.

“Prudence first,” Qiang seriously said. He had already decided to follow his father’s instructions. He would place caution first and foremost and avoid any problems from cropping up.

“We didn’t expect that Li Tianming has some relationship with the world below. He actually migrated an entire world. If comma girl doesn’t come in time, that grade-nine Grand-Orient Sword will probably be taken by him. He was in Violetglory, so he can probably guess we’re nearby.”

“Say, why do you think comma girl happened to choose this place? That grade-nine Grand-Orient Sword added a variable to our job. If Li Tianming takes the sword, he’ll guess we’re here.”

They hadn’t seen it when the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had landed and claimed the Grand-Orient Sword. This time, they had sensed some vigilance when the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb had handled the immigration, so they retreated further away.

“Li Tianming probably took away the Grand-Orient Sword. I seemed to see him using a sword when he battled the sovereign. It didn’t look like the one we transported there, but it gave off a similar feeling,” Qiang said.

As soon as the decisive battle had begun, they’d entered the Flameyellow Guard Formation. Tianming had already taken out his new sword before that, but nobody knew what had happened after.

“Right, that sword was quite similar! Why didn’t we think of it then?”

“It’s fine. We retreated so far that it doesn’t matter.”

“I guess the real loser here is comma girl? She lost her sword just like that.”

“Do you think the power behind her will participate in the competition for Skyway Quadstar?”

“No way. The nova source in the world of chaos is different in nature. Their power wouldn’t be accepted in the world of order, so they can’t come over.”

The discussions were very enthusiastic.

“A grade-nine divine artifact is nothing compared to Skyway Quadstar.”

“Although Li Tianming may guess at our presence, we’re far away enough that it shouldn’t be a problem.

“If he can still find us here, he’ll be godly!”

“Sovereign Qiang, why don't you go and train? You’re the super genius of our Skyway Tristar, so don’t let duty interfere with your cultivation. We’re enough to keep an eye on Skyway Quadstar.”

Qiang considered it and said, “No rush, I’ll give it a few more days.” He piloted the astralship and constantly readjusted its position and divine astralship formation so that it was always hidden in the darkness by dust and rocks.

“Remember, we’re just the watchers. We don’t need to do anything and we’ll have earned a great merit as long as we hold on for one or two years!”

“Understood!”

……

Within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb on the sun.

“That’s the… general situation.…” An eight-starred ladybug was currently folding its arms arrogantly with a pleased expression, as if it was afraid others wouldn’t notice its awesomeness.

“Not bad at all,” Tianming said.

“That’s it? You trash!” Yin Chen had expected Tianming to burst into tears and praise it up and down for a job well done.

“Go to the side.” Tianming rolled his eyes.

“Amazing, you didn’t just stop at searching the immediate area. You even took the risk of making a journey you couldn’t come back from and went somewhere so far!” Wudi pinched the insect, his eyes shining with wonder.

“Don’t listen to its bragging. It just got lost and happened to accidentally find the target.

“They probably guessed that you know they’re here, so they’re acting so cautiously. But they can only blame their luck for still being found,” Li Wudi said.

Yin Chen’s body was on the ship’s surface, so tracking them down would no longer be hard.

“You’re the… lost one!” Yin Chen was very unsatisfied. It had its own thoughts. When it couldn't find the watchers near the sun, it had been willing to lose about five million bodies and cast them far away. It had accepted that they would probably never be seen again. Anyway, the sun had so many ore veins now that it wouldn’t be a problem to keep its bodies at the upper limit of a hundred million.

“What grade is their astralship?” Li Wudi asked.

“It’s bigger than Starvore, but smaller than the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. However, we can’t be overconfident. An astralship belonging to the core members of the mysterians will have some special abilities.”

The Starvore belonged to the sun now, but was unusable. It had been made by the ancestors of the starvorians and needed Skywolf specter blood to operate.

“Regardless, Skywolf is from the Voidsky Organization and those are the hunting dogs of the mysterians. Even if you’re a genius they’re trying to poach, you can’t interfere with their business. Since they didn’t interfere and instead hid away, they clearly have ill intent,” Wudi analyzed.

Tianming was now sure that they were a perfect team. Of the pair, Wudi was the more straightforward and violent one.

“You’re right.” Tianming nodded. “Then what about us?”

“This nova source war was unique in the astralscape. A decabane genius and the exposure of a divine item like the Flameyellow Coffin will definitely draw over the mysterian army, based on what you described of them. I’ll cut my head off if they aren’t doing exactly that. The Flameyellow Imperial Star is a super star. Although I don’t understand the universe itself very well, the law of the jungle remains constant at all levels. They’re sure to be greedy,” Wudi said with certainty.

“Thus, the sun must leave and the watchers must be blinded.” Tianming grit his teeth.
