The road to expanding the army had begun!
Li Tianming picked up the pace slightly.
Of course, this increase was only compared to before.
Steadiness was still paramount.
With his usual methods, as his overall strength rose, he had already become invincible in battle. No one could possibly take him down.
Furthermore, Silver Dust had given him vision across the entire Desolate Realm Galaxy. In truth, Li Tianming now knew exactly who was where throughout the Desolate Realm Galaxy, and how many Emperor Tokens they held.
That made it very convenient for him to choose targets for army expansion.
Defeat them, crush them, collect their Sumeru Rings.
Those who wished to leave could leave; those who wished to stay could stay.
As for the Sumeru Rings of those who left, Li Tianming could distribute them directly to the others. He did not need a single one himself.
As the army expanded faster, naturally fewer chose to stay than to leave. That meant everyone received quite a few Sumeru Rings. Though this could not compare to the rewards of the Star Ancestor Grand Dao, it was enough to inspire them.
After all, they could see with their own eyes that their ranks were growing larger and more invincible by the day!
Everyone's confidence grew stronger and stronger as well.
Facts proved that emotions were contagious between people. When the first batch to follow Li Tianming rose with the tide and stood at the summit, it was hard for others not to envy them.
Especially Lingling. Everyone knew she had once been an eighth-stage Myriad Origin Eonic God from a level-eight galaxy. Yet recently, she had already surged into the realm of a second-stage Star Ancestor. That leap had saved her a full hundred thousand, even several hundred thousand, years of cultivation.
