Chapter 2036
Sure enough, Sovereign Brightscorch was difficult to deal with. Tianming felt even more helpless, but worrying was pointless.
"Besides, your strength is the issue." Sovereign Brightscorch said.

"What do you mean?" Tianming didn't understand.
"You must prove that you have the strength to defeat Crimsonjade Qiang so we can be sure that you’re not lying. Anything can be fabricated, but not a thirty-year-old sovereign. If you can defeat me, whatever you say next will also be more convincing to all of Violetglory," Sovereign Brightscorch explained.
Tianming was shocked. Eyes wide, he asked, "Sovereign Brightscorch, what’re you trying to say?" He hadn’t seen this coming. Sovereign Brightscorch wasn’t trying to make things difficult for him, nor did he doubt him. He was actually paving the way for Tianming, because the people were the ones he had to convince.
"Let's have a duel in the wondersky realm. To the people of Violetglory, you’re still one of us. You’ll be the most powerful person on Violetglory, as long as you defeat me, and you’re only thirty years old," Sovereign Brightscorch said.
Tianming took a long time to compose himself. A duel was a whole other story. Although Sovereign Brightscorch didn't explicitly say it, he trusted Tianming.
"So you believe this crazy story?" Tianming asked.
"I don't believe you, but I know the mysterians better than Sovereign Starfeather or you. You can't make up the words ‘Skyway Quadstar’ out of thin air. Just the words alone spell disaster for Violetglory. Our ancestors also had doubts about our place in the Mysterium Cluster, as well as the establishment of the wondersky realm…. You may have brought disaster down upon us, and I don’t deny cursing you inside as well as feeling resentful about all this, but the fact is that Violetglory will suffer the mysterians’ wrath once they fail. Escape is our only option." Sovereign Brightscorch cast an unhappy look at Tianming. However, he must have already discussed it with Sovereign Starfeather. Despite his feelings, it was the reality. As sovereigns, the two rulers of Violetglory understood the mysterians. They were aware that there was no way out for them, who were caught in the middle.
"Besides getting on board your ship and provoking the mysterians, what awaits us is a dead end. That’s why you have to prove yourself, so we can at least judge whether there’s even a chance of survival if we join you," Sovereign Brightscorch continued.
"You’re a courageous man." Tianming gave him a fist and palm salute.
"What do you mean? Isn’t uncle courageous? He’s the one that persuaded Sovereign Brightscorch." Mu Ziyan pouted.
Tianming laughed. Sovereign Starfeather was a close friend, so there was no need for courtesy. "I admire you both. If we want to achieve a better effect and get the people of Violetglory to listen to me, then we should raise the difficulty. I’ll fight both of you together!" he solemnly said.
The two sovereigns looked at each other.
"Are you sure?" they asked in unison.
"They won’t go easy on you to prove that you aren’t lying. If you lose, the plan might fail," Mu Ziyan reminded him.
"I feel very guilty that you have to relocate everyone, but I don’t feel any pressure taking on the two of you together," Tianming said.
"You’re crazy! Crazy enough to piss me off! Since you’re unafraid, then let’s do it. If you win, the Divineglory Dynasty will fully cooperate with you," Sovereign Brightscorch said.
Sovereign Starfeather laughed as well; he had nothing to say. After all, both he and Sovereign Brightscorch had already discussed their thoughts and come to an agreement.
It was a grave problem, and unfortunately, there really was no other way out. Because it involved Skyway Quadstar, Sovereign Brightscorch thought that the mysterians would definitely investigate Tianming’s relationship with the Violetcloud Imperium if they failed to find the sun. The Violetcloud Imperium would definitely be wiped out, but the Divineglory Dynasty was also likely to suffer. In fact, it would be a great thing for the Divineglory Dynasty if the mysterians were to destroy the Violetcloud Imperium. However, destroying a group with a wondersky realm in such a loud manner was bound to be known by others. If they wanted to root out every last one of them, the Divineglory Dynasty would be finished as well. He couldn’t gamble on such an important matter. Both the Violetcloud Imperium and Divineglory Dynasty were nothing in the eyes of the mysterians. They were so insignificant that the mysterians might not even bother to investigate the different forces on this star, who Tianming was close to, or who had enmity toward him.
"When are we going to do this?" Tianming asked.
"Three days later on the Violetcloud Battlefield. Let’s have three days of excitement," Sovereign Brightscorch said.
"Okay."
"If you’re really that powerful, if you’re really a decabane and can defeat us, then we’ll do as you say and transfer all of Violetglory’s nova source to the sun. That means we’ll oppose the mysterians because of you. You must give us preferential treatment once we’re on the sun, at least the same as your core forces," Sovereign Brightscorch said.
"Don't worry about that. Everyone on the sun is equal. The most important thing now is the nova source and cultivation resources. The total population of the sun is only about eight hundred billion, which is still behind Violetglory’s population. Move your wildbeasts and livestock over as well. You’ll have at least half of the star," Tianming said. It was clear they were also interested in the ancient star. After all, perhaps they would also benefit if they chose a world that could produce a decabane genius like Tianming. The story of the sun devouring the Skywolf stars had deeply shocked them.
"Talk is cheap. Stay here for the next three days so we can discuss and put this into writing. If you violate the agreement, Violetglory will fight you to the end," Sovereign Brightscorch solemnly promised.
"Okay." Tianming nodded. That was also his promise to Sovereign Starfeather.
"One last thing—if you actually defeat me, don't reveal the news about the mysterians to the people yet. Sovereign Starfeather and I will make up some other reason for migrating. After all, most people will be drawn by a nova source that’s five times larger. During the next bit of time, we’ll also prohibit everyone from entering the Astraldome to prevent anyone from giving away any information."
"No problem."
With Sovereign Brightscorch’s agreement, everything went smoothly. Tianming understood their prudence; they were about to make a huge decision that concerned the lives of trillions. Sovereign Brightscorch seemed a little weary after their conversation. Fortunately, he still had a few months to think about the matter and could change his mind if he had any objections.
