Chapter 44

Muyong arrived in a silent expanse of starry sky. As soon as he got there, the space not far away split open, and a large group of top-tier experts emerged.

Leading them was an old man, who was none other than the current leader of the Star Civilization, Mugeng. Beside Mugeng was a woman with a perfect figure, her curves beautifully defined, a presence that could make any man's blood boil with just one glance.

Mugeng and the others quickly approached Muyong. Mugeng, excited, said, "Little Yong... have you really obtained the legacy of the Extraordinary Civilization?"

Muyong hurriedly took out the seal and nineteen storage rings, "Father, they're all here."

Seeing the seal and the nineteen storage rings, the Star Civilization's experts were all extremely excited.

The legacy and wealth of a civilization!

How could they not be excited?

This could greatly enhance the strength of the Star Civilization.

Muyong suddenly said, "Father, please go and save my brother immediately."

Mugeng looked at Muyong, puzzled, "Your brother?"

Muyong hurriedly nodded and recounted the entire story.

After hearing Muyong's account, Mugeng and the others fell silent.

Muyong hurriedly said, "Father, what are you still hesitating for? My brother can't hold on much longer..."

But Mugeng remained silent, and the elders behind him were also silent.

Muyong wanted to say more, but suddenly, he seemed to realize something, his face instantly turning pale as he looked at Mugeng and the others in disbelief.

Mugeng said in a deep voice, "Little Yong, this is the best outcome now. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand!"

Muyong said in a trembling voice, "Father, we can't do this..."

Mugeng stared at him, "If we go to save him now, it will be like declaring war on everyone. At that time, we will offend many noble families and sects..."

"Father!"

Muyong directly interrupted Mugeng, "The reason I was able to obtain this legacy is because Tianming sacrificed himself! If we don't go to save him now, what does that make us?"

Mugeng said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about it? If we go to save him now, we must stand against those noble families and sects. They won't let us monopolize the legacy of the Extraordinary Civilization..."

Muyong said angrily, "Father, have you thought about it? Without Ye Tianming, our Star Civilization wouldn't have obtained this legacy at all."

Mugeng said, "I understand your feelings, but you must consider the bigger picture..."

"What bigger picture!"

Muyong burst out in anger, "This is selfish, this is despicable, this is just plain shameless!!"

"Ridiculous!"

Mugeng suddenly raised his hand and slapped Muyong across the face.

Muyong suddenly took out a dagger and pressed it against his abdomen, staring at Mugeng, "Father, I can't let Tianming down..."

Mugeng stared back at him, "Remember your place."

Muyong suddenly knelt down, pleading, "Father, I beg you, we can't do this, I beg you..."

Mugeng shook his head, "You have disappointed me, greatly disappointed me."

Muyong realized that his father would not go to save Ye Tianming. He stood up and laughed bitterly, "From this moment on, the backbone of our Star Civilization is broken, broken... If you won't go to save him, I will go myself. I will tell everyone that the legacy of the Extraordinary Civilization is in our hands..."

With that, he turned and ran.

But a terrifying force held him in place.

Mugeng stared at Muyong, his gaze as cold as ice, "For the sake of an outsider, are you willing to cut ties with the Star Civilization?"

At this moment, the woman beside them suddenly stepped forward, "I will try to persuade him."

Mugeng glanced at the woman, "Qingmiao, you must persuade him well."

With that, he led the Star Civilization's elders and disappeared into the distance.

The woman was Muyong's sister, Mu Qingmiao.

Muyong grabbed Mu Qingmiao, pleading, "Sister, I must go to save him, I must go to save him..."

The woman looked at him, "The family won't act, you can't save him alone."

Muyong looked determined, "Then I will die with him. I, Muyong, cannot let my brother down, I cannot let my brother down..."

Mu Qingmiao glanced down and said, "Your friend is not an ordinary person. He might not die..."

Muyong shook his head, "Even if he doesn't die, he will be ostracized by the Guanxuan Universe... And, Sister, our Star Civilization can't do this! How can we do this?"

As he spoke, he squatted down in pain, "I can't face him now, I... I am truly a failure! How could I not have thought that our Star Civilization would be greedy? I am so stupid!"

With that, he slapped himself hard.

Mu Qingmiao watched him calmly, "Going to the secret realm now will be of no use. Moreover, there are powerful figures left by Father in the shadows, and they won't let you go to save that young man... You only have one path to take."

Muyong looked up at Mu Qingmiao, "Which path?"

Mu Qingmiao said, "Go to the True World and find the Star Ancestor."

The Star Ancestor!

Muyong murmured, "But what about my brother, so many people are hunting him..."

Mu Qingmiao said, "I will protect him."

Muyong looked at Mu Qingmiao, who said calmly, "That young man is surrounded by enemies, and he has already offended the Xiao family and the Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy. Even if our Star Civilization supports him, it might not be enough to protect him. Only the Star Ancestor can possibly save him."

Muyong said, "Sister, promise me, you must protect him."

Mu Qingmiao said, "I will do my best."

Muyong took a deep breath, turned to look at the entrance to the Extraordinary Holy Land, and said softly, "Brother Tianming, wait for me..."

With that, he turned and disappeared into the horizon.

After Muyong left, an old man appeared beside Mu Qingmiao.

The old man said in a low voice, "Girl, are we really going to protect that young man?"

Mu Qingmiao slowly turned to look at the entrance to the Extraordinary Holy Land, "Little Yong only sees things from a personal perspective, so he focuses on personal emotions and ignores the family's interests. Father, on the other hand, sees things from the family's perspective, focusing on the family's interests and ignoring the core of the matter."

The old man was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qingmiao said slowly, "The Extraordinary Civilization was once a top-tier divine civilization. If they are looking for a successor, the question is, do they truly value Little Yong, or the one called Ye Tianming?"

The old man frowned.

Mu Qingmiao looked down, her gaze firm, "They truly value Ye Tianming."

The old man immediately objected, "Little Yong is not bad either."

Mu Qingmiao nodded, "Of course, he is not bad, but Uncle, you overlook one thing: Little Yong's identity. He is part of our Star Civilization. Do you think the Extraordinary Civilization doesn't know this? If they give the legacy to Little Yong, it will ultimately be a gift to our Star Civilization. But if they give it to Ye Tianming, it's different. Ye Tianming is from a low-ranking family, and he will value this legacy more, and he won't take over. If the Extraordinary Civilization sends a woman to marry Ye Tianming, then..."

The old man understood everything as soon as he heard this.

In short, Muyong cannot be the successor, but Ye Tianming is a possibility. Of course, it's not about being a successor, but rather, by choosing Ye Tianming, the Extraordinary Civilization can take the lead, whereas choosing Muyong would mean the Star Civilization taking the lead.

Mu Qingmiao narrowed her eyes, "Therefore, I am certain that the legacy given to Little Yong is not the true legacy of the Extraordinary Civilization."

The old man was stunned.

Mu Qingmiao stared at the entrance to the Extraordinary Holy Land, "The core of the matter is, why did the Extraordinary Civilization choose Ye Tianming?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Your point is that the young man is not simple?"

Mu Qingmiao said softly, "Of course not. A person who can pass through the Guanxuan Dao is not a simple person. However, that alone is not enough to make the Extraordinary Civilization choose him. They must have discovered something extraordinary about him."

She shook her head slightly, "Father's vision is limited. He can only see the immediate benefits and not the core and essence of the matter. The young man is the most valuable."

The old man said, "You must understand your father. As the leader, he must be cautious, and this is the safest approach."

Mu Qingmiao shook her head, "It's not safe."

The old man looked at her, puzzled.

Mu Qingmiao said, "By doing this, the Star Civilization is betraying its word. If that young man rises to power one day, he will certainly settle accounts with the Star Civilization. If that day comes, the price our Star Civilization will have to pay will be unimaginable."

The old man hesitated, then said, "Girl, I don't think that young man has that kind of ability. If he did, he wouldn't be in such a dire situation now."

Mu Qingmiao countered, "Uncle, why do you underestimate him? Or rather, why does everyone underestimate him?"

The old man said, "He is from a low-ranking family..."

Mu Qingmiao countered, "Don't you think that's the most terrifying part?"

The old man realized something, his eyes widening.

The woman walked slowly into the distance, "Back then, the family of the Guanxuan Sword Master was also a low-ranking family, wasn't it?"

The old man immediately objected, "Now the young master has been revealed, and the destiny is set. It can't be anyone else."

Mu Qingmiao said, "Uncle, that's the most terrifying part."

The old man was puzzled, "How?"

The woman said softly, "Uncle... the Yang family has been raising their children in the wild for three generations!! And this time... who can guarantee that the destined one is Yang Jia?"

The old man: "......"
