<h4>Chapter 2676 - Keeping a Low Profile is the Way to Go</h4>


    "Marvelous!" Lin Chongyao apuded and sneered, "The woman is indeed skilled at such things. We were right to not expect anything from her during our breakout from the Infinitum Swordsea!”


    "She''s just being practical. If the ebons had wiped us out and returned with a full harvest, she might not even activate Ebonia’s astralguard formation!"


    "Right now, she isn’t concerned about the consumption of nova source. She simply used the formation and checkmated Shenxi Xingtian. The situation’s be extremely awkward for the ebons."


    By activating the Ebonia Guard Formation, Yi Daiyan didn''t need a single soldier.


    "Shenxi Xingtian colluding with Rex Mundi Meng Ying is the key. In thews of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, that’s been categorized as the highest level of crime,beled as treason, with the entire n held responsible.


    "That level of crime is even more severe than our unauthorized upation of two-thirds of deus’ nova source, as the Infinitum Bodhimanda''sws don’t explicitly prohibit the internal transfer of ster sources. As long as we im that the Sun still belongs to the Infinitum Bodhimanda, our misconduct will be considered less severe than that of the ebons." Lin Changkong gravely said.


    "Right... up until now, Yi Daiyan hasn''t charged us with any crimes, has she? The previous usations were all dered by Shenxi Xingtian. ording to thews of the Infinitum Bodhimanda, this kind of major issue can have no conclusion until the First Rex Mundi expresses their stance. The Second Rex Mundi''s stance is irrelevant."


    "Shenxi Xingtian''s actions amount to overstepping his authority. Forming an alliance with the five regal ns is even more excessive," Xiaodao analyzed.


    The most significant change in the matter was that the nature of Shenxi Xingtian and the Exterminatus Army had initially been seen as righteous and supported by the entire poption. But with the appearance of Rex Mundi Meng Ying, their nature had entirely changed! That collusion, coupled with their miserable defeat, had turned the Exterminatus Army into a joke and the ebons into objects of scorn and judgment.


    In short, the facade had crumbled. Everyone was disgusted and wanted to trample them. People were just that pragmatic. Now, the most ''moral’ position in the Infinitum Mundus belonged to Yi Daiyan!


    The ebons and Shenxi Xingtian had be criminals who colluded with external enemies. As a result, the situation and ssification of the Sun, which stood between the two sides, had be very delicate.


    After listening to all that, Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Elders, with this in mind, isn''t it a good time for us to dere our separation from the Infinitum Bodhimanda and the establishment of the Tianming Dynasty?"


    They exchanged nces, then nodded in agreement.


    Xiaodao said, "We''ve achieved an unbelievable victory! But the fact is that we''ve only secured an opportunity for a three-way bnce of power. We haven''t truly defeated the ebons <i>or</i> Yi Daiyan. Now, it''s a genuine triangr rtionship. In this new triangle, the ones in direct conflict are the ebons and Yi Daiyan. That means this is our chance to shift from being high- to low-profile. While they dare not act against us, we can focus on developing, umting wealth, and minding our own business."


    Lin Changkong agreed. "Exactly! Because the ebons'' reputation and influence have plummeted, they''ve been convicted as a criminal n. Inparison, our standing has risen.


    "But in this triangr rtionship, only Yi Daiyan is the absolute representative of the Infinitum Bodhimanda. She’s its protector and assuredly on the righteous side.... If we announce the establishment of the Tianming Dynasty, our degree of betrayal will rise above that of the ebons."


    "That’ll force Yi Daiyan to confront both sides alone. Although it increases the pressure on her, it’ll release the pressure on the ebons. The most crucial point is that we''ve managed to escape the vortex through the nation-founding war and gained an opportunity to observe. There''s no need to engage in further battles."


    Lin Xiao stroked his beard and smiled slightly. "In fact, whether or not we officially belong to the Infinitum Bodhimanda is something everyone already knows in their hearts. However, officially, we still have to im our affiliation with it. We should also seize the opportunity to hold fast to the Infinitum Bodhimanda''s banner.


    "A true ''empire'' can just exist in our hearts for now. There''s no need to shout it out. After all, we have two infinitum-ss astralships, a quasi-infinitum-ss world, and four outstanding talents. We can be more patient than Yi Daiyan! Her growth and potential may be higher than the ebons, but they aren’t better than ours!"


    "Understood." Although Tianming understood it in his heart, he couldn''t help but feel upset about dying his dreams of bing an emperor, along with his empress and the grand coronation. He had already thought about it. Wudi would be the father of the nation, and Xiaodao its teacher. It sure sounded amazing enough. Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue would be the grandparents of a nation!


    Of course, he was just fantasizing. When he really sorted out his thoughts, he understood it very well. He had won and escaped, so he should just focus on quietly growing, letting Shenxi Xingtian and Yi Daiyan duke it out. The power to develop was in his hands!


    “Not only will we not establish a nation, but we will also im that we are still a part of the Infinitum Bodhimanda. But we won''t assist Yi Daiyan, just as she didn''t help us this time. As for the matter of the two-thirds of deus’ nova source, there’s room for interpretation.


    "Honestly, it’s because we have two infinitum-ss ships. You need weapons to win people over with virtue," he said.


    ......


    The elders discussed many future matters as they headed toward the Sun. Aside from the strategy of shifting to a low profile and developing as much as possible, there was another key point: preventing assassinations!


    "Leaving aside the ancestral world monster that’s eyeing our Feng''er, we might also face assassination attempts from Shenxi Xingtian, Rex Mundi Meng Ying, or even Yi Daiyan. Weck strong individuals at their level, and our shorings lie in our core members.


    "After returning to the Sun, we must be extremely cautious in this regard. The Sky Pce Formation and two infinitum-ss ships will be our bases. Core members who are vulnerable to threats should stay inside as much as possible over the next century," Lin Changkong advised.


    "No problem, we can endure it. If necessary, you can all stay with me and drink for a hundred thousand years. When my good disciple has the strength to dominate the world and kill Shenxi Xingtian and Yi Daiyan, we can rest easy," Xiaodaoughed.


    "Haha!" Everyone burst intoughter.
