Chapter 4119 - Imperial Star Descent
"All barks need bites to back them up," Imperator Yin said, offering a nugget of wisdom.
"Indeed..." The elderly cosmic gods bowed and left, leaving the hall peaceful like it used to be.
Imperator Yin immersed herself once more in the colorful galaxy and closed his eyes. At that moment, a red figure appeared near his chest and asked him, "Is that really what you think?"
Imperator Yin pursed her lips. "I said what I needed to to pacify the masses."
"So?"
He took a deep breath. "For now, it seems that we devas have no choice but to take this bet. Tens of millions of generations ago, our ancestors made a bet on the dream called the Eightpart Pantheons, changing us from the slaves of beastmasters to the masters. And this time around..."
"Will we continue to be masters or will we release the slave beasts?" the shade asked.
"It depends on whether we'll still be able to remain the masters. If we can't, then becoming slaves would be better than having our kind completely exterminated. Once exterminated, there will be no way we will be able to reach the height of power once more, but if we survive, there's a chance. Who can say who will have the last laugh?"
"Fortunately for you, you still have a choice. The other seven, on the other hand, don't," said the red shade.
"Make it six! The chaos umbral race is nothing but part of us in name. Their fight isn't here and the worlds they rule are on the other side." Imperator Yin sank deeper into the depths in silence.

The imperial star that was five times the size of a maniverse-class world cruised through the Flameyellow Divine Path. Tianming had removed the flaming-cloud layer of the defensive formation to let everyone in the Sun see the vastness of the path. The many flameyellow descendants teared up at the glorious sight of their ancestors' legacy. The many flameyellow descendants who weren't there with them also witnessed the same thing through Tianming's eyes.
The seeds that had been sown within them sprouted into the dream of a Flameyellow Imperial Star, which had become the biggest crutch they had to rely on during their time of suffering. Tianming had never disappointed them on this long journey, and the next crucial step would take place in the Primordial Sands.
