Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7084

Chapter 6995: Disaster

Li Tianming frowned, preparing to return to the Little Divine Treasury Star System. He glanced up at the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Shadow, ten light-years above the Lingxiao Imperial Palace.

For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine. So, Li Tianming decisively ascended the Line Source Plank Road in the middle of the fifty-fifth step.

“Leave first. Aside from the Heavenly Emperor’s Dao Shadow, there are people both before and after the steps. Avoid revealing your trump card,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

At his ranking, unless he actively sought advancement, his position would only fluctuate slightly, never dropping significantly.

Therefore, even after more than two hundred years of cultivation, Li Tianming hadn’t been automatically sent down from the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar.

Relying on his Listening Dao Token, he actively left the steps and reached the base of the pillar.

Then he found a secluded corner.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Li Tianming vanished from his spot, leaving only a wisp of lightning slowly dissipating.

Meanwhile, within the Governor’s Mansion of the Small Divine Treasure Star System…

accompanied by a flash of chaotic lightning, Li Tianming appeared within the Governor’s Mansion through the miniature Primordial Chaos Realm between Zi Zhen’s brows.

Without any hesitation, Li Tianming rushed to a huge plaza in the center of the old capital.

This plaza was also the location of the Line Source Walkway connecting the two Divine Treasure Star Systems.

Upon arriving, he immediately witnessed extreme chaos.

Many were clearly Divine Treasure Clan members who had escaped the war, definitely not originally from the Small Divine Treasure Star System.

Most of them appeared weak, either using the Origin Spirit Spring or their faces were ashen, clearly just recovering from illness.

Many more Divine Treasure Clan members were pouring out from the Line Source Walkway, supporting each other, a pitiful sight!

Some had lost arms, some legs, and some were even in their original Cosmic God form, carried by their companions to the old capital.

Whether natives of the old capital or refugees fleeing from the Great Divine Treasure Star System, all were weeping bitterly!

Many members of the Divine Treasure Clan huddled together, tears streaming down their faces, an overwhelming sorrow filling the entire square.

A little girl with pigtails wiped her eyes, tugging at a one-armed Divine Treasure Clan woman, saying, “Waaah… Sister, you must be in so much pain! Let me blow on it for you, and the pain will fly away~”

“Sister’s alright, it’s just a minor injury. At least… I’m still alive, aren’t I?” the Divine Treasure Clan woman forced a smile.

“We didn’t provoke anyone, we just wanted to live peacefully in our homeland, why is it so difficult!” Someone covered their face, letting out a long howl, expressing their resentment.

“Damn it, if I had enough strength, I would definitely grind that young Emperor to dust!” A Divine Treasure Clan member clutched a crystal-clear, blood-powdered longsword, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

This was his comrade-in-arms, and also his companion!

Now… even the Origin of the God of the Universe was gone, leaving only a Dao Treasure as a memento!

This was the most tragic…

cruel war, taking too many lives. If the Origin of the God of the Universe could still be preserved, it was considered good fortune.

The Shenzang clan members who managed to escape alive weren’t weeping for themselves; at least they were still alive.

Their tears and sorrow stemmed from the future of the Shenzang clan, from their helplessness in the face of crisis! They

also felt a deep sense of grievance. They had never offended other star systems, and for so many years, the Heavenly Emperor Sect had only used them as tools to hone their young emperors.

Although they had suffered the ravages of war, at least their race had managed to continue…

But this time, for some unknown reason, even the Emperor of the Li Clan had intervened, aiming to annihilate them!

“We survived, but many in the Great Shenzang Star System are still desperately resisting…” someone cried silently.

Anyone witnessing this scene could not help but be moved.

Li Tianming’s emotions were also somewhat affected, and his mood became heavy.

This scene, like a living hell, was merely a microcosm of war.

The real front lines would only be far more brutal…

Without Li Tianming’s help, the Lesser Shenzang Star System would likely have faced the same despair.

He remembered what Xiao Jiu had said about ‘ants on food’.

“In this world where strength reigns supreme, is there no room for the weak to survive?” Li Tianming’s voice was low and somber.

A figure suddenly flashed through his mind—the woman revered as a saint by the people of the Little Divine Treasury Star System, originally a princess of the Divine Treasury Clan.

How noble her status had been! Yet, for the future of her people, she willingly knelt before Li Tianming, a member of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, begging him to fight for the survival of the Divine Treasury Clan.

What kind of psychological struggle and determination must she have endured?

Thinking of how she had sacrificed her dignity for the survival of her race, Li Tianming searched for her figure in the crowd.

Finally, he saw her—a small, thin figure, personally throwing herself into the work of the masses.

“Little Bao, we are all your family. Even without your mother and father, you still have us…” the girl said softly.

At this moment, Ji Yu was squatting down, comforting a Divine Treasury Clan child who had lost his parents.

“Ji Yu, come here first,” Li Tianming said, beckoning to the figure.

“Governor Li, what urgent matters do you require?” Ji Yu’s eyes were still red.

She had always cared deeply for the Divine Treasury Clan; otherwise, she wouldn’t have given up her position as the Divine Treasury Princess to come to the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System to help with its construction. Therefore, seeing this hellish scene, Ji Yu easily empathized.

“Keep these Origin Spirit Springs and distribute them to everyone,” Li Tianming decisively said, taking out a Sumeru Ring.

Not to mention that his previous accumulations had already made Li Tianming’s Origin Spirit Springs inexhaustible, just considering the Old Capital Defense War, Li Tianming had captured the Sumeru Rings of the Misty Emperor and his son, as well as countless members of the Star System Alliance he had personally killed.

Therefore, his Origin Spirit Spring reserves were already extremely terrifying.

“Governor…” Ji Yu was so grateful she choked up, and immediately wanted to kneel before Li Tianming, but Li Tianming stopped her.

He whispered in Ji Yu’s ear, “There’s no need for such grand gestures over such a small matter. Besides, you need to maintain your authority in front of your people to put their minds at ease. Before me, we are in reality subordinate, but before them, you are the noble princess of the Divine Treasure Clan, and also their holy maiden…”

Ji Yu nodded heavily, sobbing uncontrollably, “I understand, thank you, Governor Li!”

Having accepted the Origin Spirit Springs, she used them to irrigate the wounded and numerous Divine Treasure Clan members who had fled from the Great Divine Treasure Star System.

The disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect were like flowers in a greenhouse; in reality, they didn’t consume much Origin Spirit Springs during their daily cultivation.

However, for races like the Shenzang tribe, which face constant warfare, the consumption of resources is actually extremely high.

This is especially true for those Shenzang tribes who have just retreated from the battlefield.
