Chapter 4153 - There is No Tian Jiu, Only Little Fish
Yin Chen delivered a new message on the way back to the Grand Jiang.
The Tian Jiu Cult had suspended their assault on the maniverse-class worlds. Instead, they turned toward a fortuna-class world, Jadeglow Haven, which they effortlessly conquered. Jadeglow Haven was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Feng, their residents all primalwingers of the Feng lineage.
“Did they massacre the people?” Tianming asked Yin Chen.
“No,” Yin Chen nodded.
“That’s still acceptable.” Tianming knew that, to the colossal Tian Jiu Cult, a place like Jadeglow Haven was at best a small island. It could only serve as a temporary stopover, never a true ancestral home.
They were merely finding a place for their astralships to dock temporarily.
A fortuna-class astralguard formation was no more than thin city walls. It was easy to break through, and practically useless for protecting the Tian Jiu Cult.
The Tian Jiu Cult focused on a system of elites and didn’t have common folk with them. This meant they had nothing tying them to the Grand Xia Voidback Hole.
“They retreated so decisively. It should be the Xiavoid Stareye. Staying there would have been certain death,” Tianming said. It was ironic. A cult sect that worshiped Tian Jiu was also somehow the mortal enemy of the wonderians.
The wonderians really did have a complex relationship with their progenitor.
“Yin Chen, does the Tian Jiu Cult really worship Tian Jiu? Or did their successive popes merely use that as a pretext to build power?” Tianming asked.
“Based on... my observations... Both exist... But the... former group... has more,” Yin Chen said.
