đź“– Chapter 982 - Returning!
After leaving the imprint on the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch’s brow, Wang Baole turned his head and looked at the vast Divine Eye Civilization with a contemplative gaze. His silence caused an oppressive aura to descend on the entire Divine Eye Civilization, and the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch could only tremble in fear.
Although he managed to keep his life for the time being, the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch felt nothing but terror when it came to Wang Baole.
On the one hand, he was cowed by Wang Baole’s background. On the other hand, he was utterly astonished by the changes in the young man’s strength.
At that moment, the entire starry sky had fallen silent, and all the cultivators from the Violet Gold Civilization had already perished.
As for the natives of the Divine Eye Civilization, most of them were scattered among the different planets. Everyone who was able to sense the battle that had just occurred looked on with horror in their hearts.
For example, Fairy You Ling and the others who knew Wang Baole from the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect were all like this. At that moment, everyone felt extremely uneasy and worried for the future. They knew that… this might be the end of the Divine Eye Civilization.
The three great sects of past years existed only in name. Of the three Planet Realm patriarchs, two were already dead, and the royal family had also disappeared. Thus, the citizens of the Divine Eye Civilization were all bitter, unable to tell what would happen to them in the future.
Truth be told, they couldn’t blame Wang Baole for all of this. In fact, if Wang Baole had never shown up, the current Divine Eye Civilization might be in an even worse situation.
Thus, an oppressive silence continued to fill the starry sky. After a long time, Wang Baole retracted his gaze and spoke lightly to the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch behind him.
“Clean up the battlefield and comfort all surviving native cultivators. Pass down my order: The Divine Eye Civilization won’t cease to exist, but it will usher in a new era. In one month, I will bring the entire Divine Eye Civilization to join Earth’s Federation.” With those words, Wang Baole stopped paying attention to the conflicted Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch. In the blink of an eye, he burst the bubble that was imprisoning Zhao Yameng and the others and brought them away, disappearing into the depths of the starry sky.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the Divine Eye Civilization’s Eternal Star.
His plan was to move the whole civilization to the solar system and fuse the Eternal Star with the Sun. That way, the spirit qi of the solar system would grow even denser, and the Federation itself would rise to another level. This was one of the ways for a civilization to advance, and it was also what Wang Baole had been thinking about since earlier.
This process wouldn’t cause the Divine Eye Civilization to be wiped out of existence. However, there would inevitably be a lord-vassal relationship between the solar system and the Divine Eye Civilization after the Divine Eye Civilization’s Eternal Star fused into the Sun. Thus, whether it be the current natives or those born in the future, all living things of the Divine Eye Civilization would become subordinate to the solar system. They would forever be unable to betray it!
This seemed to be a cruel price to pay, turning an entire civilization into the solar system’s vassal, but it was better than being enslaved by the Violet Gold Civilization. After all, as the first civilization to submit to the solar system, the Divine Eye Civilization would still have some status even as a vassal. Wang Baole’s plan was to allow more civilizations to join the Federation if possible, thus continually increasing the Federation’s overall level.
This wasn’t only a benefit to the Federation itself, but also to all living things born there. For example, once a civilization’s Eternal Star fused into the Sun, all cultivators of the Federation, including Wang Baole, would receive an increase in their cultivation bases.
Right now was the perfect time to migrate the Divine Eye Civilization. However, the migration of an entire civilization still required a certain level of preparation. Thus, while the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch handled things outside, Wang Baole sat down cross-legged within the Divine Eye Civilization’s Eternal Star. His divine sense spread out and began fusing with the Eternal Star, causing the star to begin gathering momentum.
According to his personal judgment, the Eternal Star’s momentum would reach its peak in approximately one month. At that time, he could carry out the migration plan by teleporting the Divine Eye Civilization directly into the solar system.
While the Eternal Star was gathering momentum, Wang Baole’s clone appeared outside his main body once more. Although this would slightly decrease the rate of gathering momentum, the main driving force was the Divine Eye Civilization’s Eternal Star itself, so the loss of one clone wouldn’t make too much of a difference. Moreover, Wang Baole had been away from the Federation for too long, and he had to make some preparations on that end to ensure that the migration plan would go smoothly.
Thus, Wang Baole planned to have his clone return to the solar system. Before that, he had a conversation with Zhao Yameng, who had recently woken up. Zhao Yameng chose not to return to the Federation with Wang Baole’s clone, but instead remain in the Divine Eye Civilization. She suggested to Wang Baole that for the Divine Eye Civilization to completely belong to the Federation, aside from fusing their Eternal Star with the Sun, he should try to subdue their hearts.
“Baole, I think you should… ascend to the throne of the Divine Eye Civilization and become the new emperor!
“Only like this will you obtain the genuine approval of the Divine Eye Civilization. This will also prevent too much panic and unrest when integrating into the solar system.”
After listening to Zhao Yameng’s suggestion, Wang Baole nodded. He didn’t need to appear in person for this matter, as Zhao Yameng would remain behind to help him win the acceptance of the Divine Eye Civilization.
With the Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch’s cooperation, along with Zhao Yameng’s expert skills, such a thing wasn’t difficult at all. All Wang Baole had to do was send a projection when it came time for the enthronement ceremony.
This would all happen within the month, and after it finished, Zhao Yameng would return to the solar system along with the Divine Eye Civilization when the migration happened.
There was also Little Donkey and Little Fifth. Both of them stayed behind with Zhao Yameng.
After thinking about it carefully, Wang Baole determined that there weren’t any hidden dangers and he could leave with a clear conscience. After all, his true self was still within the Divine Eye Civilization’s Eternal Star, so the moment something strange occurred, he would detect it in an instant. He could also use the Eternal Star’s teleportation to call the clone back at any moment.
Thus, after ironing out the details with Zhao Yameng, Wang Baole made the decision to leave. Light burst out from the Eternal Star, covering the entire Divine Eye Civilization in a sea of light. When it faded, Wang Baole’s clone was no longer within the Divine Eye Civilization.
In the starry sky outside the solar system, ripples appeared in the void. Wang Baole gradually emerged from the ripples, first as nothing more than an illusory figure but quickly turning more and more solid. After about an hour, the aura of teleportation gradually receded, and Wang Baole truly appeared in the starry sky!
The reason why it took so long was because the solar system was just too far away. This was also why Wang Baole needed to make an early return trip. After all, when he teleported the entire Divine Eye Civilization over, it would take even more time, so he had to ensure that there would be no surprises.
The clone was fine; if something happened, at most it would just be destroyed. Although that would have some effect on his true self, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, if an accident occurred during the teleportation of the Divine Eye Civilization, the losses would be too great.
At that moment, as the teleportation came to an end, Wang Baole slowly opened his eyes. As he looked around, the fluctuations of his Planet Realm cultivation base erupted from his body. When he looked at the familiar starry sky all around him, waves of emotion rose up in his originally tranquil heart.
“Finally… I’m back…” Wang Baole murmured. After being away for more than a decade already, Wang Baole missed his hometown very much. The thought of his parents made his heart ache.
But after embarking on the path of cultivation, there were many things that were beyond his control. At that moment, the feeling of returning home made Wang Baole hesitate, and he felt a little nervous. He remained standing where he was for a long time before finally making up his mind and flying toward the solar system.
At the beginning, he didn’t move quickly. However, the more he flew, the more his heart fluctuated, and he became faster and faster. In the end, his whole body turned into a long arc of light that seemed to rip through the starry sky as it passed. He pierced through all the invisible barriers set up by the Federation and directly appeared within the solar system!
Earth, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter…
As soon as he stepped foot into the solar system, a happy smile appeared on Wang Baole’s face. His divine sense spread out almost involuntarily, and he instantly sensed the planets that were so familiar to him. He also saw the Sun at the center of the solar system and the ancient bronze sword sticking out of it.
But a moment later, the smile on Wang Baole’s face suddenly froze…
There seemed to be something wrong with the Sun’s light!!
“Something happened?!” Wang Baole’s expression changed, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat!
