Chapter 3841 - Homecoming
Five billion was a number that Tianming had dared not imagine. "There basically aren't any flameyellow descendants at all in maniverse-class worlds that only have cosmic gods. It'd be rather dangerous for me to bring my ship and subjects close to those worlds. The only way I can make use of omnisentient power in maniverse-class worlds is to first conquer these fortuna-class worlds and make them encircle maniverse-class worlds so my Galactic Emperor network can be tapped into."
It would take much effort to deal with maniverse-class worlds, let alone imperial-class ones. He had heard that imperial-class worlds were only located in the most core regions of the Upper Star Ruin. There were so few of them that they could be counted on two hands. There weren't any maniverse-class worlds near them, let alone fortuna-class ones. Imperial-class worlds completely dominated the regions around them.
Tianming was well aware that the real thing that limited how far he could go in the Upper Star Ruin was still his own capabilities. While he had the benefit of five billion omnisentient threads, he could only use them to rescue the flameyellow descendants in the Midsky Tristars.
"That is unless something else changes once the number grows high enough!" That would be something on the level of converting the population of entire fortuna-class worlds. "At the end of the day, it still depends on the distance between these fortuna-class worlds and the number of flameyellow descendants in them. It still isn’t certain whether I'll be able to achieve the same effects I have in my dynasty in the Lower Star Ruins."
The Galactic Emperor of Infinitum was possible because each star had a population of trillions. The number of flameyellow descendants in Starmoon Haven, on the other hand, only totaled around three billion. There also weren’t that many worlds in the Upper Star Ruin compared to the Lower Star Ruins.
"I’ve been in the Upper Star Ruin for quite some time now. I should go back to the imperial capital and see how far my empire has spread throughout the Million Mundi and if there are any lessons that I can learn and apply here!" There was nothing else Tianming could do now that he had gathered as many omnisentient threads as he could in Starmoon Haven. Not to mention, the enemy's total lockdown made it so that he couldn't attack them, either.
"I have to continue growing stronger to shatter this stalemate, and there’s two options. The first is to continue spreading my legend across Wargod Haven and Wondersky Haven now that I’ve dealt with Starmoon Haven. And that’d require an even more impressive battle than before! The second option is for me to keep breaking through."
When Tianming had achieved Galactic Emperorship in the Infinitum Mundus, his cultivation level had been too low, so his breakthroughs didn't affect his full power that much. This time around it was different; every level of the Overflow stage came with huge growth, making his own breakthroughs just as important as gathering omnisentient threads.

Bai Ye left some infant souls within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb so Tianming would get instant updates if anything happened. That way, he would be relieved enough to use the mobile stareye to travel back to the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. With a flash, his twenty-meter-tall body vanished from the mobile stareye.
Meanwhile, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb flew back to the Sun to make preparations for the final battle. The fortuna-class Sun was shrouded by its cloaking formation like a beast slowly awakening from a restful slumber, waiting for a chance to leap in a fatal pounce.
