Chapter 1290: Worshiped by People from Everywhere (1/2)

In the starry river, south of the Domain of Jade Heaven.

Ancient starships of unknown origins would arrive every once in a while after sailing far and long to this region.

While many came from different domains, many left as well. The traffic in this region was unprecedented.

Most of those who had witnessed Nie Tian shatter the Realm of Jade Billows, destroy the Jade Heaven Sect, inflict serious injuries on Song Chequan, and help Zu Guangyao break through into the God domain, had gotten the answer they had wanted, and were thus leaving successively.

Those who were arriving successively were mostly people who had heard about what had happened, and had thus traveled a great distance to worship their idols.

On the one hand, they came to worship Zu Guangyao, who had advanced to the God domain. But more importantly, they came to worship Nie Tian, who was now known as the Star of Calamities and Godmaker.

At first, it was mainly people from nearby advanced domains or minor human sects and clans.

However, it wasn’t very long before powerful experts from the Five Elements Sect, the Void Spirit Society, and the Heaven Span Pavilion arrived in groups.

WHOOSH!

A starship sailed past the blazing sun. On it, He Lianxiong from the Heaven Span Pavilion had already advanced to the late Void domain, and had been preparing for his advance to the Saint domain.

Standing on the starship, he gazed off at the sun where Zu Guangyao was currently cultivating. After sensing in silence for a long while, he muttered, “That’s right. That whole sun is emanating Zu Guangyao’s aura and divine power.”

Ye Wenhan, who was at the early God domain and also from the Heaven Span Pavilion, sighed in admiration and said, “The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace seemed to be falling, but who would have thought they’d present the world with another bright star? The Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace is indeed an ancient great sect with profound reserve power. There are always unique, brilliant stars in every generation of their Sons of the Stars.”

“Does Sikong Cuo count as one?” He Lianxiong asked.

Ye Wenhan shook his head. “He’s not that outstanding. Many Sons of the Stars from past generations were more brilliant than him. Being in the same generation as Nie Tian, he was outshone from the day Nie Tian finished his path of stars and officially joined the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. After that, as Nie Tian’s name is discussed by more and more people throughout the starry river, Sikong Cuo’s name is almost forgotten.”

He Lianxiong fell silent, turning to fix his eyes on the glorious sphere in the distance.

Nie Tian was in it.

After a long while, He Lianxiong said, looking puzzled, “Our sect has been aware of this joint operation of the Shadow Society, the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, and the Jade Heaven Sect, but hasn’t done anything about it. Why? Are we really going to watch the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace be torn apart and gobbled up by those sects?”

Ye Wenhan frowned and said, “Our sectmaster isn’t around. Patriarch Fan takes no interest in worldly business. Who knows where he’s wandered off to recently? Only those two can handle the sectmaster of the Shadow Society in battle. I don’t possess such power. Besides, the Shadow Society made extremely great contributions and sacrifices to the survival of the human race. And they’re on friendly terms with the other great sects as well. So...”

“What if Ji Cang and Mo Heng come back and hold us accountable?” He Lianxiong asked.

“Who can be sure about the future?” Ye Wenhan said, feeling powerless. “Right now, great changes are taking place everywhere, giving rise to all kinds of trouble. We don’t even know if our sect can survive this perilous time. Not only do we not have the energy to mind other sects’ business, but it’s also an unwise thing to do.”

...

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Huang Jinnan, Hou Chulan, Lou Hongyan and several Saint domain experts from the Five Elements Sect flew out of their ancient starships, and stopped in a place close to the glorious sphere.

“Godmaker!” Ruan Qingliu exclaimed softly, her eyes glittering with aspiration.

Since she had been stuck at the late Saint domain for many years, her aspiration was understandable.

Huang Jinnan sighed in admiration. “I really didn’t expect Nie Tian to give us another great surprise like this. I thought he would find a secluded location to forge his domain after we parted ways in the Domain of Heaven Python. Who would have thought that he’d make such a great stir with his breakthrough into the Void domain? He almost wiped out the entire Jade Heaven Sect single-handedly.”

Lou Hongyan took a deep look at the glowing sphere and said, “Nie Tian has already grown into a powerhouse. Even if the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace falls, he’ll be able to rise to the peak step by step from its ruins. As long as he doesn’t die prematurely, he’ll be bound to take Ji Cang’s place and rebuild the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace.”

Hou Chulan smiled and said, “As long as he’s alive, the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace won’t fall in the first place!”

After pondering for a while, Huang Jinnan said, “Given the current situation, I think it’s necessary that we reconsider our position in this. How about we make another effort and see if we can change our sect elders’ minds about staying out of the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect, the Shadow Society, and the Jade Heaven Sect’s operation against the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace?”

“I think that’s what we should do.” Hou Chulan agreed.

...

FIZZ!

A spatial rift split open.

Ji Yuanquan from the Void Spirit Society flew through it and arrived in a place not far from the glowing sphere, along with Qi Lianshan and several other elders of the Void Spirit Society.
