Chapter 3611 - Lady Jian Is Truly Beautiful

Suishen Ranxing had died in a manner that nobody would forget. But in the end, he hadn't been able to stop the change that was coming to Myriadpath Valley and the astralscape of order in the slightest.

Everyone else turned to Tianming, who didn't seem the least bit intimidated. He faced the crowd and said, "Everyone here has the right to leave and choose their own path. My struggle with Suishen Ranxing wasn't one of good and evil. However, my fight against the Qitians and Yumos started because of starblood and lifebound beast farms. I don’t regret starting and finishing those fights.

"For Myriadpath Valley and the Million Mundi to change, we have to excise the rot and corruption from within. Only then will the wheels of progress continue turning! Suishen Ranxing chose to defend the Qitians and Yumos and ended up choosing his own defeat. Perhaps that was deserving of some praise as well. Either way, the astralscape of order will be the Tianming Dynasty's from now on."

As the wheel of progress rolled on, there would be those who would die fighting, those who surrendered, and those who ended their own lives. There were all kinds of choices available to them. However, none of them could prevent the coming of a new era.

Suishen Ranxing had made his choice and given his reasons, but that wouldn't change the path that Tianming, the two million cultivators, the august and sacred houses, or House Suishen would take. The only ones who had to die were the Qitians, Yumos, and Suishen Ranxing.

"Myriadpath Valley might’ve perished, but things will be better under the Tianming Dynasty!" the former valley lord said.

"That's right!"

"It's a new beginning!"

A festive mood fell upon the imperial capital once more as the last embers of Suishen Ranxing's ashes extinguished in the air.

After the battle, the reconstruction of the imperial capital rapidly proceeded. Even though Tianming wanted to rush to the Xenoabyss, he had a few things he had to deal with first. Sixth had been nice enough to give him some time, after all.

The first thing he did was undo all the seals on the Qingchuans, including Jian Qinghe's. Having experience, it didn't take much time to finish.

Jian Qinghe had suffered quite a terrible fate. In fact, all of the Qingchuans had suffered at the hands of House Qitian. Part of the reason Tianming had chosen to wipe them out had a lot to do with the rage he felt at Uncle Hei's death. Nobody could forgive House Qitian on behalf of House Qingchuan, their main victims. There was no way they would understand how it felt to be devoured and harvested like vegetables.

Tianming carefully removed the veil that covered Jian Qinghe's face step by step. It was an incredibly difficult bundle of formations, but when he removed the final part, he saw a girl with tear-filled eyes. She seemed quiet, calm, and elegant, but her eyes were incredibly clear.

"Lady Jian is truly beautiful," Tianming said, smiling.

"Stop!" The former valley lord rushed in to stop any emotions from forming. He glared at Tianming and said, "I won't let you act out the novels I wrote!" The touching moment that was Jian Qinghe's rebirth had been ruined by the former valley lord.

It was no surprise that the girl was incredibly reserved, especially after all that she had lived through. "Thank you, Emperor...." She bowed deeply and politely toward Tianming.

"There's no need for all the pleasantries. It was no big deal. You still have a long life ahead of you, and the bad times are over. Enjoy the time you have left!" Tianming said.

She and Uncle Hei had been prisoners of Myriadpath Valley, but that was no longer the case. In fact, at least a thousand other Qingchuans had also been enduring torture since their birth. They couldn't not procreate even if they wanted to; House Qitian would torture them more if they didn't breed. The fact that not even their children had been spared from their cruel fate was truly sad.

For many of them, it was the first time they were able to crawl out of their hell and see the sunlight. Jian Qinghe was still unused to the radiance out there and timidly avoided it. If Tianming had brought her to see the world she hadn't known when she was just reborn, there might have been some development, but the former valley lord had stopped it before it could happen! He had written countless similar stories and knew a pattern when he saw one.

The sight of Jian Qinghe timidly pushing apart her veil to experience the new world before her warmed Tianming's heart. It was the meaning of his struggles.

Suishen Ranxing wasn’t wrong to defend the Three Exalted Houses, despite their horrid practices, since they contributed to their might. Tianming was also not wrong in wanting to overthrow everything. Jiguang was even more justified because she could no longer stand what the Three Exalted Houses had been doing.

Right or wrong didn't matter. What mattered was that Myriadpath Valley was finally recovering.

Since the incidents in the Yin-Yang World, Myriadpath Valley had been mired in dark schemes and undercurrents. However, prosperity was finally on the horizon. Laughter was returning to the streets of the imperial capital, and the Maniverse and Fortuna Rankings had been reactivated.

However, Tianming's black-and-red name was no longer found atop of the Fortuna Ranking. He was no mere disciple, but the emperor! Not to mention, the abolishment of the black and gold myriadpath rings meant that the system had been overhauled.

Once he had dealt with the Qingchuans, he immediately went to Yumo Cave. All three caves had been completely taken over. Suishen Cave would remain untouched, but palaces would be built in the other two. One would be a building for the central bureaucracy, while the other would serve as a place of rest for Tianming.

Along the way, he felt the merry anticipation in others toward the new era. Everyone was closely connected through the omnisentient threads, so interactions would be purer and more hopeful, and it was only beginning.

"The imperial capital will soon welcome a mortal from the Flameyellow Capital that’ll work on the reforms in the Million Mundi!" Coincidentally, she also had pink hair.

The first steps of reform in Infinitum had been completed over the past few decades, but it would take even more time for the new administration to spread across the Million Mundi from Tianmingopolis.

Tianming planned to start with the infinitum-class worlds in every mundus, staffed by two members of Myriadpath Valley, one to oversee and the other to supervise. Spreading the Tianming Dynasty would be a new mission, complete with rewards and incentives. The more worlds the dynasty spread to, the greater the rewards would be. It would only grow faster with time.

As for Tianming's heroic exploits, the former valley lord himself would pick up a pen and chronicle them for them to be spread far and wide. It would no doubt help the propaganda effort to get countless mundi to connect with the imperial capital.
