Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7284

Chapter 7198: A Two-Pronged Approach

Through the War God’s Source Walkway, Li Tianming quickly emerged from the Demon-Slaying Pavilion.

The fact that Li Tianming had assumed the position of War God was no secret; many high-ranking individuals even knew beforehand.

However, before his official appointment, no one in the know dared to speak of it.

Now, the news that Li Tianming had received the appointment documents from Hun Dun had quietly spread.

During his stay at the Heavenly Emperor Star Palace, the news gradually spread throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and people went from being cautious at first to discussing it extensively…

“I heard that the top genius of the outer sect, Governor Li, is going to participate in the Demon Extermination Plan?”

“Giving up his good position as Grand Governor, he’ll have to start as a soldier there, not to mention the dangers he’ll face, he’ll have to give up his former status, isn’t that just asking for trouble?”

“You’re wrong, I’ve received news that the Supreme Emperor Ancestor has decided not only to appoint him as Grand Governor, but also to directly promote him to the position of War God at the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall, his status will only rise, never fall!”

“What?! Two positions concurrently?” Someone stared wide-eyed, their face full of disbelief, “What an honor this is! Who in history has ever received such treatment?”

After the news spread, it caused an even greater shock throughout the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect!

Everyone, big and small, was initially incredulous upon hearing the news.

After verifying it, some people thought of something deeper.

“Although Li Tianming is highly talented, his status is special after all. He’s practically being groomed as the core of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Aren’t those higher-ups afraid of raising a tiger that will eventually

become a threat?” This also caused considerable concern among many.

Inside the Myriad Emperors Palace, a group of spirited young people were stunned into silence upon hearing the news.

“Li Tianming is barely ten thousand years old, yet he’s directly appointed as the God of War?” Some were so shocked they could hardly close their mouths.

“For the Demon Extermination Plan, his contributions in the Heavenly Emperor Plan are utterly insignificant. How could he be promoted to such a high position based on that?”

If it weren’t for the decision made by the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Council and its confirmed authenticity, people would definitely think the person spreading the news was insane!

But now so many people are spreading this news, and no one is stopping them, which is tantamount to acknowledging its authenticity!

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Beichen exclaimed with delight, “That’s wonderful! This should put an end to the feud between Li Tianming and the young Emperor Li Qianyang.”

“The fact that the Supreme Ancestor Society is making an exception and promoting him at this time is a positive sign,” Yu Shang said thoughtfully. “The Supreme Ancestor Society would never have made such a sensitive transfer without the tacit approval of the Li imperial clan…”

Previously, Li Tianming had frequently clashed with the guardian imperial clans of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and even the Li imperial clan itself. Furthermore,

given his lack of connections within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, no one dared to say how the Heavenly Emperor Sect viewed Li Tianming. But now, the Supreme Ancestor Society’s proactive intervention seems to be sending a signal.

Many people made bold speculations…

“After Li Tianming developed a subtle relationship with the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the sect’s higher-ups even proactively elevated Li Tianming’s status, proving that they highly value him and are nurturing him as one of their own!”

“This also basically proves that the storm surrounding Li Qianyang has passed, and the Li imperial family has shown sufficient magnanimity in the face of this unexpected conflict.”

At the same time, many more disciples praised the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

“It seems that the Heavenly Emperor Sect is still very willing to cultivate geniuses from other sects.”

“The appearance of Governor Li also shows that as long as one is strong enough, there is no shortage of opportunities within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“If someone has potential, the Heavenly Emperor Sect will naturally find ways to cultivate them, and the sect will absolutely not favor one over another; it will be fair and just. Governor Li has set a good example for us!”

Yin Chen had already relayed these exciting news to Li Tianming, and he also knew about the current sensation within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Li Tianming simply smiled and said, “These outsiders are only judging from appearances. What the truth is has nothing to do with them. If what they see is what they get, how could I and the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan have ended up like this?”

At this moment, having already left the Demon-Slaying Pavilion, Li Tianming didn’t intend to go to the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall, but instead headed back towards the Heavenly Emperor’s Pavilion.

Sui Shenyao couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Little Li, what are you doing here?”

“Of course, it’s to apply for the challenge,” Li Tianming replied matter-of-factly.

At this point, Aurora was somewhat confused.

She asked doubtfully, “Even if you want to pursue both the Demon-Slaying Plan and the Heavenly Emperor’s Plan simultaneously, there’s no need to rush, is there? Shouldn’t you familiarize yourself with the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall first?”

“It’s alright, it won’t take up much time, and I have other plans,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

At this point, Aurora and the others were all a little bewildered, but they didn’t ask any further questions.

After confirming with the communication star tower that Wei Shendao was at the Emperor Heaven Pavilion, Li Tianming returned to the quiet hall of the Emperor Heaven Pavilion.

Upon reaching the depths of the quiet hall, Li Tianming saw Wei Shendao waiting there alone, looking rather bored.

“Tianming, how did you find the visit to the Heavenly Emperor Star Palace?” Wei Shendao asked with a smile upon seeing Li Tianming.

“It was quite good. If I weren’t in a rush to report for duty, I would have liked to cultivate for a while first,” Li Tianming replied with a slight smile.

“Indeed, if you cultivate, it’s too easy to miss the deadline. It’s better to be cautious,” Wei Shendao nodded solemnly, then asked with surprise, “Then why aren’t you leaving immediately? Why are you here at the Emperor Heaven Pavilion to find me?”

“I want to apply for some more challenges for the Emperor Heaven Project,” Li Tianming said seriously, then added, “This time I might need more than before, and the levels might be higher.”

“That’s not a problem at all. Under normal circumstances, I believe you can complete them all, but are you sure you want to apply now?” Wei Shendao frowned slightly, somewhat hesitant.

“Yes, right now.” Li Tianming nodded firmly, then asked with surprise, “Is there a problem?”

“A problem? This is a huge problem.” Wei Shendao said with a headache, “Aren’t you supposed to be reporting to the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall? You still have so many challenges. Even if you apply, you probably won’t have time to fight them, right?”

“Don’t worry, I can finish them. I know the consequences of violating the rules. I won’t occupy a spot and affect others.” Li Tianming smiled confidently.

Although Wei Shendao still had some doubts, seeing Li Tianming say this, she waved her hand and said, “Alright, come over here first and see which star systems you haven’t conquered yet.”

After saying that, she spread out a map on the only table in the room.

Li Tianming glanced at it briefly and knew that it was a replica of the Heavenly Emperor’s map.

As he slowly looked around, he discovered that he had already eliminated many star systems around the Little Divine Treasury Star System. A large area had changed from gray, meaning star systems that had not submitted to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, to golden, submitted star systems.
