Chapter 1399 On The Precipitous
Wang Wei was in deep thought. Recent events with Maitreya taught him that his family and sect may not be reliable in his future transcendent path, and he may have to rely on his wife, Wu Hong. However, Qiyuan's words made him realize he may have learned the wrong lesson in that experiment.
'The sect's support may not be good for me,' Wang Wei thought. The sect's effect has always accompanied him throughout his cultivation journey, either providing him with resources and protection or serving as a safety net in case he failed. During his transcendent path, the role might be reversed, but if he plays his cards correctly, it may still make his life easier.
"I'm glad to have your thorough support," Wang Wei nodded. "Can you tell me more about the All Seeing Temple's prophecy? How many people know? And how far has it spread?" He was not surprised by this prophecy since Wang Wei had long deduced his transcendent path would terrorize the entire Chaos Universe, hence the confrontation between himself and Grand Dao.
"Are you worried that others would realize the prophecy is about you?" Qiyuan asked.
"Since you can figure it out, others might also be able to. Or, at the very least, have their suspicions," Wang Wei said.
"No need to worry too much about that," Qiyuan said.
"Did you do something?" Yan Hai asked.
"After knowing about the prophecy, I knew I needed to divert the trouble from us. So, when these two first left the world to fight in Primordial Chaos, I took the risk to contact our people in other Chaos Worlds," Qiyuan explained. "By now, a few people should also meet this description. Everyone knows the Eternal Ascension World will play a significant role in the [All-Haven Fate Calamity]. Still, it doesn't necessarily have to be the one who created the [Mad Emperor].
"However, when the time comes, these fakes must come to the Eternal Ascension World to play their role better."
"That's a great approach," Wang Wei said while also feeling his ancestor's care and meticulous mind. "But it would be better if we could get a trusted individual to spread another prophecy that fits and contradicts this one."
"I had the same thought, but I realized we would need someone on Maitreya's level to fool these foreign transcendents," Qiyuan said.
"True," Wang Wei sighed. "Regardless, thank you, ancestors." Wang Wei did not know how effective Qiyuan's method would be, but it was enough that it bought him more time to grow and develop.
"Like I said, you are our future," Qiyuan patted him on the shoulder, and Wang Wei nodded. "So, what should we do with Time Eater? Do we ignore him since we know it's inevitable?"
"No, he's still a dangerous individual," Qiyuan stated. "If we allow him to develop until the next era, he could become a major problem. So, when necessary, we must kill or weaken him as much as possible."
"Good, but as I said when this conversation started, I'm too busy dealing with that Taoist traitor and the lock, so someone needs to monitor and deal with him," Wang Wei added.
"I'll keep an eye out on him," Qiyuan nodded before looking in the distance. "Now that we are invisible under his eyes, it's time for us to start acting."
"Great." The three chatted for a few more seconds before dispersing. Wang Wei returned to his hiding dimension. As he sat on a calming mat, he reviewed every word his ancestors said. He would not just accept their words and check before coming to his own conclusion.
'I'm afraid Qiyuan's theory might be correct,' Wang Wei summarized. 'I always wondered where Lin Fan's destiny with the Chaos Demon Gods originated, and now I have an answer. Then, there is Xun Junyao. Everybody else and I have always thought her perfection originated from Grand Dao, but she might also be the pawn of some creature from the Genesis Age.'
Wang Wei was still more inclined to believe it was from Grand Dao, but he could not rule out that possibility. 'Everyone is a pawn of someone else," Wang Wei sighed. 'This world truly sucks.' He shook his head before he suddenly stopped:
'Wait, I'm Fate and Grand Dao's pawn; my three ancestors seemed to be that Venerable Trinity's pawn, but what about my future wife? Whose pawn is she? I don't believe such a talented person never caught the eyes of someone else?'
Besides the time Heavenly Dao manipulated her to create the Hong Protection System, it did not appear anyone was manipulating her from the shadows. 'I don't believe not a single person was interested, so either she has already escaped such a fate, or the person is hiding deep and hasn't shown up yet. This wife of mine seems to have many secrets she hasn't revealed yet.'
Wang Wei shook his head and decided to have this conversation with her in the future. Now that he was done dealing with all these theories and larger-than-life enemies, it was time for him to return down to earth and deal with the problem in front of him. He waved his hand to summon Red Mask.
"Lord," she saluted respectfully despite communicating through an Image Array.
"Spread a rumor that I will establish a Sage Council in a hundred years to gather all the world's [Sages] to create a solution for the Plague Curse."
"Lord, do you want to lure Sage Pure Flame into action?"
"Yes, but I also want to establish the council. I know for a fact that these top lineages must have hidden a few first and maybe even second-level Sages. If they could accept my invitation, it may indeed solve the current problem."
"I understand," Red Mask nodded. "Anything else?"
"That's it for now."
Wang Wei ended the conversation, remaining alone with his thoughts. 'If I were in Supreme Unity's shoes, what would I do next?' His mind went into deduction mode.
'Assuming he's the one manipulating Sage Pure Flame and he co-opted my plague idea, the next thing I would do is to make the blood of mortals a cure for the plague. No, not just a cure, but a temporary one. With this move, the Immortals will now have a reason to target mortals.
'More importantly, they are desperate.'
If mortal blood is the only way to save their lives, these Immortal Sovereigns and Dao Rulers will become ruthless to save their life. And if the plague mutates to affect mortals, then the mortals will have no hope.
'I can't let him slowly plan in the shadows. I need to force him to activate his plans before he's fully prepared.' Wang Wei did not waste time and immediately accessed the Void Illusion Realm. He modified the core program before putting his plan into action. Then, Wang Wei used it to send a message as wide as possible:
[With the password — Immortal Dream — any cultivator can receive a technique from the Void Illusion Realm called Longevity Rune Body, which can increase everyone's lifespan between 12,600 years to 1.26 million years. Additionally, this technique has other benefits similar to the Source Rune Physique for professionals and a minor increase in talent for other cultivators.]
Wang Wei knew cultivators' greatest motivation has always been benefit. But in the Post-Lock Era, the benefits have changed from an increase in strength to an increase in lifespan. "Next is Shu Ren."
Wang Wei closed his eyes, focusing on Shu Shu. The woman was the pinnacle of his understanding of [Perfection] and [Existence]. He was extra careful when creating her, and to ensure the plan's success, he never once checked on her after the creation. However, now that he sensed someone else had connected their [Existence] to her, it was time to check on her.
The first thing he did was check her memories. Well, Wang Wei was slightly traumatized by some of them, but all was worth it for the sake of this plan.
'That small dick Shu Ren does love her, but he was also cautious in not revealing much of his secrets to her,' Wang Wei commented. 'However, after experiencing life and death, they should become closer, and I may find something to use on him.'
The Earth Emperor was the last straw of the Seven Moon Era since Seven Cauldron's [Existence] should have been overridden by Supreme Unity's rough use of her as a vessel. As long as Shu Ren dies, the shackles of the world's luck and destiny will finally return to its former owners. As for Seven Cauldron? She probably won't leave long even if Supreme Unity is not dealt with.
'Whoever is planning to deal with Shu Ren, what is taking so long?' Wang Wei complained before closing his eyes, waiting for the result of his chess moves.
More than ten years passed, and besides communicating with Sage Lin Qin and Emperor Kong about the council, Wang Wei remained in place, waiting for the result. Then, Red Mask contacted him.
