Chapter 1914
After receiving the news of the demise of the Greenvoid Abyss, Skywolf hastened their approach instead of retreating, like a hungry wolf running across the grassy plains. The pack of wolves that were hunting their prey might have suffered a setback, but that only served to hone their killer instinct even further. They wouldn\'t stop until they finally got a bite!
......
Soon, a month had passed since the activation of the Flameyellow Guard Formation. After the people in the sun got word of Skywolf\'s impending invasion, they fell into complete chaos until the Flameyellow Guard Formation was put up. During that month, the chaos in the territories of the celestial orderians gradually settled down. Preparation for the impending war was underway.
While the war between the celestial orderians and the Myriad Solar Sects hadn’t involved anyone under the Ascension stage, the upcoming war would be an astral war. Not even a farm chicken would be able to stay uninvolved in the conflict, let alone mortal humans. It was a war that all life in the sun would have to fight in!
The celestial orderians dutifully followed their ruler\'s instructions, As for the Myriad Solar Sects, many among them were beginning to notice a change. Some of them began unconsciously developing a respect for the sun emperor. He had, after all, defeated them. There were those that silently admitted that beastmasters were inferior to totemancers after all, and that the sun emperor was the sole ruler of Orderia who would lead all of them to win the astral war. Tianming and the Myriad Solar Sects would be forgotten as time passed.
While accepting the sun emperor as the leader of the upcoming war against Skywolf wasn\'t that big an issue, the question in everyone\'s mind was what the standing of the Myriad Solar Sects would be after the war. The beastmasters would fight in the war if it was for the survival of the sun. If they lost, they would perish along with the celestial orderians, after all. But if they won, they would still end up as slaves of the celestial orderians, who had already defeated them. That wasn\'t an easy pill to swallow either way, putting them in an incredibly awkward position.
Nobody knew which was the right way moving forward. Some had even already submitted themselves to the sun emperor in their minds out of fear and respect. Others wanted to fight for the sun\'s survival, but weren\'t willing to submit to the sun emperor and lose everything they had fought for or allow their descendants to be enslaved. Unlike the celestial orderians, who stood united, the Myriad Solar Sects were split into many sides. If it weren’t for the Saintdragon Emperor, Northdipper Swordsage, and others stabilizing the situation from behind the scenes, internal conflict would have broken out again.
At the very least, the only thing that could be said for sure was that the sun emperor mostly had the whole of Orderia under his control. Preparations to go to war with Skywolf were also mostly complete, and with time to spare, too. As such, the Saintdragon Emperor and the rest kept a close eye on the celestial orderians\' actions.
It had been a month since they had driven back the second Skywolf divine astralship, and that very day, Yin Chen brought them shocking news that sent the Myriad Solar Sects into another round of chaos.
"How could this be?! Is he insane?!" That was the reaction of everyone who heard the news. The sun emperor had just announced that he would send a force of twenty-five billion totemancers into the territory of the Myriad Solar Sects right on the eve of an invasion by Skywolf! During the past month, the celestial orderians had constructed their own makeshift defensive formations in the former territories of the many factions. The new force would use those places as supply bases during their operation to sweep up and exterminate the remnants of the Myriad Solar Sects. With the order given, the force was already being assembled.
Twenty-five billion was a huge number, basically encompassing every single god on the celestial orderian side. It would no doubt destabilize the situation in the sun even further. The sun emperor had pulled out all the stops in yet another cruel decision. There wasn\'t even a question now; if this operation were to proceed as planned, the Myriad Solar Sects would be wiped out before they even had to deliberate over fighting Skywolf for the survival of the sun.
"What in the world is he planning? Even if he manages to exterminate all of us, he\'ll suffer huge casualties! How will he fight Skywolf with only the troops he’ll have remaining?"
"Given the size of Skywolf, they easily have four to five times as many gods as we have!"
"If the celestial orderians really go through with this, we\'ll have nowhere to run. We don\'t even have defensive formations anymore, apart from the Sky Palace Formation."
"It\'s over...."
"We\'re done for...."
"The sun emperor is insane.... Everyone\'s going insane...."
There was no way the wave of terror could be suppressed. Soon, the news had spread everywhere. Those that had developed a modicum of respect for the sun emperor completely despaired. They had thought that submitting themselves would be the end of it, yet the mad tyrant refused to even give them the chance. Kneeling or not, they would be killed! The sun emperor would clean up his own star before he fought the astral war!
Even the common mortals living in the territories of the Myriad Solar Sects shook with fear from their impending doom. Twenty-five billion gods were nothing to scoff at. Even though the vast sun had many hiding places, it was hard to avoid extermination at the hands of such a number. Perhaps the sun would be dyed red even before Skywolf\'s arrival.
Long Wanying\'s eyes were bloodshot with rage when she received the news. She had no idea why this was happening, and no way to counter it. All she could do was head to the solar core, knowing that Tianming was probably the first one to learn of the news. By now, this young man was the sole remaining pillar of support for them.
"Aunt Ying, wait a bit. I\'ll come out in an hour," Tianming said, calming her at her most anxious moment.
