Chapter 4428 - Universal Dreamwhale
Hearing Tianming’s words, Li Muyang and Li Tianzi exchanged a glance and fell silent.
“Don’t tell me we can’t fight?” Seeing their silence, Tianming felt stifled. “Are we supposed to just passively stand by? If we really wait until they strike, we might not even have a chance to resist...”
“Tianming.” Li Muyang’s expression turned serious. “It’s not that we lack fighting spirit. It’s that if we take the initiative, we have no chance of winning. There are three practical problems.”
“What problems?” Tianming nodded, willing to hear the reasons.
“First, I can’t leave Nullity,” Li Muyang said solemnly.
“Why?” Tianming frowned.
“You don’t need to know that for now.” Li Muyang gave him a deep look.
Tianming didn’t speak for a moment. He had long felt that this Li Muyang was definitely hiding something from him.
That made Tianming uncomfortable. “If you could fight, then if we went to Violetblitz, we’d be evenly matched at the top level of combat power, or maybe even stronger.”
“That’s true, but your father really can’t leave here,” Li Muyang shook his head.
“Then at least let me know the reason.” Tianming looked at him.
Seeing that he wouldn’t let it go, Li Muyang fell silent for a moment before finally saying, “All I can say is that it’s related to being hunted.”
Tianming narrowed his eyes. Those hunters again! The pursuit from those mysterious, unknown beings targeting had never ceased.
They were terrifying existences capable of tracking cause and effect!
Although Li Muyang’s expression remained calm, Tianming seemed to see once again the Li Muyang he had met long ago outside the Divine Capital of the Theocracy of the Ancients.
“So that’s how it is.” Tianming understood. He had always felt that the Li Muyang and Wei Jing of this Realm of Chaos seemed a little strange, a bit off.
But now it seemed that no matter their situation, they were absolutely connected to his parents from the Realm of Order. Or perhaps, they were even the same people...
As for the specifics, he couldn’t figure them out right now, so he decided not to dwell on it.
He believed that when the time came, everything would become clear.
“Besides that, there’s a second point.”
Seeing that he understood, Li Muyang continued seriously. “Even if we include the firemaples, our military strength would only be equal to that of the violetblitzians. We can’t fully mobilise Nullity’s army as many places need guarding. Otherwise, our gates would be wide open and Yueling or Aquamarine could seize the chance to invade.
“In fact, under these circumstances, our forces are actually at a disadvantage. And Tianming, you may not know this, but fighting on their home turf gives them a geographical advantage.”
“Geographical advantage?” Tianming didn’t quite understand. “Aren’t there no astralguard formations here?”
“That’s true.” Li Muyang nodded and continued, “But every starcage has its own defensive methods. For example, Violetblitz has a starsource that can suppress foreign cosmic gods who trespass. Of course, the firemaples are native to Violetblitz, so they wouldn’t be suppressed. But Nullity’s army would suffer for it.”
Tianming nodded, roughly understanding. Nullity should also have something similar.
“There’s still a third point,” Li Muyang continued. “Imperator Jian of Violetblitz is very strong. Imperator Ji, Imperator Tu, and even Aquamarine’s people like Cang Shanyuan are still in Violetblitz.
“In comparison, our top-tier combat power comprises only you, your brother and Li Yanfeng. We’re one imperator-level combatant short...”
After hearing all three points, Tianming fell silent. There truly wasn’t much hope of success if they launched a full-scale assault on Violetblitz.
“Moreover, once we launch a large-scale attack, Aquamarine won’t just sit back and watch...” Li Tianzi shook his head.
But immediately afterward, he looked at Tianming, filled with fighting spirit. “Of course, Tianming, I share your opinion. Waiting like this is no different from waiting to die. We just need to change our method.”
Tianming met his gaze. He knew his older brother had always been aggressive and not the type to easily admit defeat.
“I know the locations of the dazzling radiances in Violetblitz,” Tianming said. “As long as I improve one step further, I can suppress imperatores and break the overall balance of the Realm of Chaos!”
“Since a direct war won’t work, we can only find an opportunity to steal them... for example, by sowing some chaos?”
Li Tianzi tapped the table as he plotted. “The firemaples, led by Imperator Feng, have always wanted to capture Violetblitz Capital and become the true master of Violetblitz. We can invite him over and discuss the details.”
“The best method to sow chaos would be a decapitation strike. If Lin Xiaoting and Imperator Jian were to have a misfortunate accident, the violetblitzians would be leaderless. That would be our opportunity.”
Listening to the two of them, Li Muyang smiled helplessly.
Their temperaments were indeed fierce...
In the end, he chose to support his sons and pointed out the key. “The most important thing is to frame this as a legitimate conflict between the violetblitzians and the firemaples.”
“We sky plunderers will enter as outsiders. We don’t need to send an army, just a few top-tier experts. That way, the other two starcages would have no reason to interfere! We just need a good excuse.”
At the mention of that, Tianming suddenly perked up.
“That’s my specialty.” He patted his head. “Look, does the top of my head still look green to you?”
“Pfft.” Mu Qingqing, who had been quietly listening the whole time, finally couldn’t hold back her laughter.
