Chapter 2677 - Xenoworld’s Crescent-Shaped Marker
The people of the Sun had confidence and weren't worried about the future, because Tianming was overseeing the world. It was built around him as its core! Although the road ahead was still uncertain, it was much better than it had been at the beginning.
"Let’s go!" Tianming was full of confidence. With so many elders carefully protecting the ships, their trip was stable.
......
Before arriving at the Sun, Tianming confessed something to Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue. It would soon be discovered anyway, when the Lin Clan mixed with the Sun’s inhabitants. That was... Tianming's age! In the eyes of the Sun's inhabitants, he was around fifty years old. However, as Lin Mu's son, he should be over a hundred. It was also related to whether or not he was Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue's grandson!
"Grandpa and Grandma, there's something I want to explain to you," he said. The matter didn't need to be announced to the outside world; it only needed to be understood by these two elders.
"You mean your age, right?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Yes," Tianming nodded.
"My dear grandson, it doesn't really matter. Regardless of the truth, we’ve taken you as our own grandson after all this time we've spent together. We feel close to you, how could it be fake?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"That's right! Who wouldn't want such a good grandson?" Dongshen Yue quipped.
Tianming helplessly chuckled. "But to be honest, Grandpa and Grandma, even though there’s complications in between, overall, I truly am your grandson," he said.
"What?" This time, they were shocked. From their expressions, one could tell that they were actually somewhat disappointed about the matter. Their shock represented seeing a glimmer of hope.
"Do you believe in reincarnation and rebirth?" Tianming asked.
"We’ll believe in whatever you say," Lin Xiao said.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Dongshen Yue chimed in.
Tianming was deeply moved, then briefly explained the matter of Lin Mu reincarnating as Li Muyang, his ninth incarnation. He didn't go into too much detail, only mentioning that the reincarnation happened on the Sun, leaving out the incarnations before that.
"Are you saying my son didn't die?!" Lin Xiao was stunned.
"No, he didn't. He even has a beautiful wife now, and they're traveling through the stars," Tianming said with a smile.
"My goodness!" Dongshen Yue smacked Lin Xiao on the back of his head hard, making a loud thud.
"Why’d you hit me?" Lin Xiao winced.
"You old man, your son’s alive, but he didn't even know to go find his mother?" Dongshen Yue grit her teeth.
Tianming was dumbstruck; his grandparents’ focus was a bit peculiar.
"Feng'er! Is that woman your mother?" Dongshen Yue glared, asking.
"Yes, who else could it be?"
"How would I know? Everything's such a mess!" As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.
"Our son being alive is a cause for celebration. Why’re you crying?" Lin Xiao said.
"Don’t you understand anything? Do you know how hard it is to bear a child?" Dongshen Yue retorted.
"Isn't it just plop, and it falls down..." Lin Xiao quietly mumbled.
"You...! Go and die, old man!" Thumping sounds came from the transmission stone. It seemed she wasn’t going easy on Lin Xiao.
Tianming was profusely sweating. In his heart, he quietly thought, "Thank goodness my wife, Feiling, is more gentle." However, just thinking about Feiling's icy state during her second Nirvana, he couldn't help but worry about the future.
After they finally finished their fight over there, Tianming quickly asked, "Grandpa and Grandma, you actually believed me?"
"My dear grandson, whatever you say, we believe," Lin Xiao said as he got up, his head as swollen as a pig's.
"That's right, our grandson wouldn't lie," Dongshen Yue chimed in, rolling up her sleeves.
Phew! Originally, he thought this would be a troublesome matter, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so easily. "The matter involves quite a few secrets, and my father isn't simple. He's a mysterious person. Both of you, please don't be disappointed with him. I believe that, one day, he’ll return to your side in a dignified manner. My appearance is also part of his plan, because he said he wanted me to help him make up for his regrets..." Tianming said.
"Regrets about Yi Daiyan or us?" Dongshen Yue asked.
"Of course it's you! My father is a righteous man!" Tianming said.
"That's good, that's good...." The two elderly people exchanged a glance.
Tianming knew that they were just using the argument to handle their feelings. While they might appear to be calm now, tears could still be seen in their eyes. It was a kind of emotion one would only understand after becoming a parent. All the memories from the past came flooding back.
"By the way, if he reincarnated, doesn’t that mean you have a grandfather here on the Sun?" Lin Xiao asked with a tricky angle, thinking of this question.
"No, he doesn't exist anymore," Tianming said.
"Oh, I see," Lin Xiao nodded.
"But congratulations, there’s a Grandma," Tianming laughed.
"Why the congratulations?" Lin Xiao was puzzled.
"Well, well, see who’s the lucky one!" Dongshen Yue erupted and jumped on Lin Xiao.
"She’s my godfather’s mother," Tianming continued, but the transmission stone shut off before he could finish. It looked like Lin Xiao would still have to suffer some more. Tianming shook his head and muttered, “Poor Grandpa.”
“They’re just looking for an excuse to end the conversation and go digest the news about Lin Mu. They probably didn't want you to see them cry,” Feiling said with red eyes.
“Of course I know, you don’t need to tell me,” Tianming said.
"So, my dear, is this your way of saying you want to get beaten up too?" Feiling had been sad just now, but now she glared at him. It was still quite cute, though.
"Come on, let's see who beats who. I'll make your bottom blossom."
Feiling barked an angry laugh.
After witnessing all of that, Ying Huo couldn't help but sigh, "Men like him are rare. In this world, the only top-notch men left are me and Little Li!"
"Chicken Bro, you're no man, you're a rooster," Lan Huang laughed.
"Or maybe a hen?" Meow Meow's eyes lit up.
"You bastard!"
......
Finally!
The Lin Clan's fleet arrived at the Sun, their new home. The crowd cheered, as they all knew that the meeting marked the beginning of a new world.
The specific settlement arrangements would be made by the elders themselves.
Upon returning, Tianming felt that there had been some changes in the Fusion Formation. "There's some disturbance in the depths of the Sun's core...."
The Fusion Formation had a passage leading to the star's core. And in the depths of the core of many nova source worlds, there were entrances to the Xenoworld! However, few could enter them.
Using the passage in the Fusion Formation, Tianming arrived at the depths of the Sun with Xiaodao's escort. There, just like in the Divine Moon Realm, there was indeed a vortex that served as an entrance to the Xenoworld.
Tianming didn't intend to enter. However, he saw a crescent-shaped flying dart floating near the entrance to the Xenoworld.
"What’s this?" Tianming picked up the dart. The crescent shape reminded him of Qingyu. On the dart was a distortion force from the Xenoworld that formed mysterious divine patterns.
"Old Lin, what’s this?" Tianming asked.
Xiaodao took a look and said, "It might be a coordinate marker from somewhere in the Xenoworld."
