Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7732

Chapter 7648: Zi Zhen’s Return

In the aftermath of the war, some time passed…

After a thorough cleanup, only members of the Heavenly Fate Universe Dynasty remained within the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

The traces left by Li Tianming’s battle with the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, and the destroyed buildings, began to be repaired.

Led by the Grand Master, the other outer sect disciples were the main force, and almost everyone was contributing to the restoration of the Heavenly Emperor Sect in a methodical manner.

Although the scope of this battle was vast, it hadn’t yet reached the point where the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect needed to be rebuilt.

Unlike the atmosphere of the Heavenly Emperor Sect in the past, this time it wasn’t just ordinary disciples from various star systems contributing; some members of the Imperial Clan, and even members of the Li Clan, joined the effort!

Li Tianming glanced around; the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect had many collapsed buildings, and some surviving structures were mixed in with the ruins.

The former grandeur and prosperity seemed to have vanished.

But Li Tianming believed that one day, everything would reappear, and the reborn Heavenly Emperor Sect would be even better!

In this post-war reconstruction scene, there was no distinction of status, no one was superior; everyone was essentially working for their home!

Regardless of their identity or race, everyone was now helping each other in perfect harmony, clearing the ruins and repairing the buildings together.

At this moment, Sui Shenyao and Jiguang transformed into the pink-haired beauties of the Chaos Sword Maiden, each standing beside Li Tianming.

Now that there were no outsiders left in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, Jiang Feiling also broke free from her spirit possession state and joined Li Tianming.

The dark energy in Li Tianming’s body also receded, and he returned to his original form.

The battle ended, and Xiao Jiu, having released her Dark Universe state, remained silent in her companion space, as if nothing had happened.

But Li Tianming would definitely remember this contribution.

This divine power called ‘Dark Universe’ was something even Li Tianming hadn’t anticipated at first; he hadn’t expected it to be able to resolve the kidnapping crisis by granting Li Dixiao and the others dark energy.

This was an unexpected joy, a timely help for Li Tianming.

“Xiao Jiu, this time we really owe you a lot; we were able to resolve things so perfectly,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“…”

Xiao Jiu remained silent, as if it hadn’t heard anything.

However, within its companion space, its dark energy body, resembling a massive black mist, seemed to waver.

This movement was quickly suppressed, but both Li Tianming and the other companion beasts sensed it.

This was, in fact, a signal that Xiao Jiu was unwilling to admit—a deepening connection between itself and the other companion beasts and Li Tianming.

However, Li Tianming and the others smiled knowingly, tacitly understanding, and didn’t point it out.

Everything takes time, and relationships need to develop gradually.

It’s not about moving slowly, but about avoiding drifting apart. Given enough time, Li Tianming believed that Xiao Jiu would eventually accept him.

After gathering his thoughts, Li Tianming gazed intently at the scene before him and slowly said, “The Heavenly Emperor Sect should no longer use its previous systems and models. Otherwise, defeating it would be meaningless. What I need to do is reform, innovation, and give all living beings within the Heavenly Emperor’s territory a new world, not simply change the ruler.”

The biggest drawback of the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s ruling model is its highly centralized resource allocation; almost everything serves only the Heavenly Emperor Sect, or rather, the Li imperial family.

And what Li Tianming wants to do is precisely break all of this!

Aurora was beside Li Tianming at this moment, and she smiled gently, “Don’t worry, Yaoyao and I should be able to handle these matters.”

“Anyway, this isn’t the first time you’ve dumped this kind of thing on us; we’re already quite adept at it.” Sui Shenyao rolled her eyes.

“Auntie, Yaoyao, this time you’ll still have to work hard. The Heavenly Emperor Sect is much larger than the places you’ve managed before, and it will take a lot of time and effort to perfect the system.” Li Tianming’s eyes flickered slightly.

“You’re a decent kid! You know we’re working hard.” Sui Shenyao snorted.

“Compared to the pressure and things you bear, what we’re doing is nothing.” Aurora smiled gently, her gaze tender as she looked at Li Tianming.

She knew very well what Li Tianming was carrying on his shoulders, and felt even more sorry for this young man having to bear all of this.

Therefore, she had no regrets about simply doing what she could.

Besides, Sui Shenyao was only being impolite; in reality, she was happy to be able to help Li Tianming.

True family members should each do what they can to make the family better.

Everyone has their own place, and everyone has their own responsibilities, instead of vying for priority in the same position; that’s never a good way to get along.

Immediately afterwards, the two went to the Heavenly Emperor Sect to meet with Li Dixiao and Li Muyun, gradually implementing the transition to the new management model.

This was not a simple process and might take a lot of time, but Li Tianming wasn’t in a hurry at the moment.

At the same time, he said to Yin Chen, “Yin Chen, have Zi Zhen use the Sky-Stabilizing Butterfly to come to the Heavenly Emperor Sect first. She can cultivate there from now on and try to improve her cultivation faster!”

“Okay,” Yin Chen replied.

As for Wei Sheng Mo Ran, Li Tianming had sent her back to the Burning Spirit Realm to oversee things after their last entry into the Demon Nest.

After all, the Burning Spirit Realm still had Li Tianming and Jiang Feiling’s son, who needed someone to protect him.

There was also the matter of the Fixed-Sky Butterfly.

Li Tianming needed to leave someone in the Burning Spirit Realm with a Boundary Planet to facilitate his travels and even serve as a means of escape in critical moments.

“As for the Demon Nest… with Xiao Xiao there who can communicate with the Nest Ancestor at any time, there’s absolutely no need to worry,” Li Tianming pondered briefly. “In this way, with someone overseeing the rear and Boundary Planets or Fixed-Sky Butterflies for rapid travel, it’s foolproof.”

This way, even if anything unexpected happened, Li Tianming could arrive in time.

After everything was arranged, Li Tianming’s communication star tower suddenly lit up.

After receiving the message, a figure of a harmless little girl with purple hair and purple eyes appeared on the communication star tower.

This was Zi Zhen; she was clearly still on her way.

“How are you? You weren’t crippled by that guy, were you?” Zi Zhen asked casually, her eyes darting around.

“How could I? If I wasn’t confident, I wouldn’t have gone to see him.” Li Tianming found the other’s expression somewhat amusing, but also sighed, “However, I can protect myself, but I can’t necessarily protect others. Xiao Jiu did a great job this time.”

“As long as you’re not dead,” Zi Zhen said with a smirk.

In fact, whether it was during the Taiyu Chaos Dynasty or in the final battle before leaving the Chaos God Emperor Universe, she was basically fighting alongside Li Tianming.
