Chapter 1203 The Destined One"s Arrival
1203 The Destined One"s Arrival
Emperor Kong, dressed in scholarly clothes, was preaching to three people: Lin Fan, Xu s.h.i.+, and his son, Bai Hai. It was a privilege for these three to receive sermons from such a cultivator - except Xu s.h.i.+, who had the fortune to receive one from a top-of-the-line Paragon.
Then, Emperor Kong suddenly stopped and looked in the distance with a frown. "Father, is something wrong?"
"He"s here."
"Who?"
"The destined one - the one who will end this terrible Era."
"You"re talking about w.a.n.g Wei?" Lin Fan asked.
"Most likely," Emperor Kong nodded. All information he"s learned about w.a.n.g Wei showed that this particular destiny went to him, but he could not confirm this fact hundred percent until he met the latter.
"How do you know he"s here?" Bai Hai asked.
"I noticed a slight s.h.i.+ft to the world"s destiny - a sign that fate has started its machination."
"Then, what should we do?" Bai Hai asked.
"Tell me what you think first."
"We can prepare to contact him secretly. Found out what he"s planning and how to respond," Bai Hai suggested, and Emperor Kong nodded. "Lin Fan?"
"Our first priority should be the upcoming chaos. Many other factions should have noticed his arrival, and their response would have been of three possibilities: remain neutral, ally with him, or kill him and the people wis.h.i.+ng to kill him are not just the enemy but people with ambition who want to take the destiny from him.
"However, regardless of how these factions react, the current chaos and turmoil will drastically intensify, so we need to prepare to deal with that first."
Emperor Kong nodded, not adding any comment. "Xu s.h.i.+?"
"While they both make excellent points, they fail to see the crux of the problem. Our main priority is how to prevent w.a.n.g Wei from swallowing our foundation."
Lin Fan was listening, but Bai Hai frowned. "Aren"t you exaggerating? This is not the lower dimension. The situation here is complex, and he cannot rely on his sect since they are sealed and are under constant watch."
"Tell me what"s on your mind, and no need to mince your words," Emperor Kong encouraged.
"Yes, Academy Master," Xu s.h.i.+ nodded. "Since w.a.n.g Wei ascended, it can only mean one thing - he succeeded in becoming an Empyrean in the lower dimension." Emperor Kong squinted. Xu s.h.i.+ had already told him this news, and he initially thought such a thing was impossible. However, after hearing all the advantages w.a.n.g Wei had and all the merit Xu s.h.i.+ arrived with, he had to believe it.
"He achieved the Taboo Battle Realm in the lower dimension, meaning as an Empyrean, he"s most likely already 10-fold. Even if he"s not, his strength is at least between 8 to 9 fold, meaning his combat power is already at the top of the current political climate," Xu s.h.i.+ continued.
"From what I know about his character and behavior, he will have three main goals during his time here. The first is to increase his strength, so he should plan on achieving 10-fold, or even the Taboo Battle Realm.
"The second will be on how to fulfill his destiny as smoothly as possible, and thirdly, how to benefit his faction in the process. Our main concern is the third goal."
Xu s.h.i.+ paused, thinking how to word her thoughts. "w.a.n.g Wei is a very charismatic individual, and it"s to a horrifying level. In the lower dimension, he had to worry about the Balance Mechanism, so he could not expand the Dao Opening Sect without restraint; he does not have this limit here.
"He will create his power and make allies to fulfill his destiny. However, with his personality, he will swallow these allies and turn them into his own foundation. If we decide to work with him, our priority is retaining our sovereignty and not being swallowed, and believe me when I say this task will be harder than you expect."
The room was quiet, leaving Emperor Kong to his thoughts. He took Xu s.h.i.+"s words seriously for two reasons: firstly, she was friends with w.a.n.g Wei and knew him the best out of everyone present. Secondly, he understood how scary a Dao Overlord was during a time of chaos and strife. Such periods of instability are the perfect ground for them to grow and wreak havoc.
"It seems like we must make early preparations," Emperor Kong uttered.
Origin Seal Continent:
Wu Hong opened her eyes to look in the distance, lost in thought.
"Are you happy that your husband is here?" roared a distant voice. She shook her head and sealed the room before continuing her retreat.
Heavenly Beauty Palace was an enormous palace floating on the clouds. A pair of Phoenix eyes suddenly opened, and walked out of the room to gaze over the balcony.
"So, you"re finally here? I wonder what kind of person you are? Maybe we"ll meet at my celebration," she muttered before sending news that her celebration would be in advance. The exact date is half a million years from today.
Dao Opening Sect:
A young disciple was dozing off in a large dimension full of statues when he suddenly felt something. He woke up to gaze at the podium before him. The podium was divided into four layers: the lowest layer contained the most statues, and the top contained only four. The disciple looked at the second layer as a new golden statue rapidly formed.
"Gold in the second layer? An Everlasting Empyrean? Who in the sect made a breakthrough?" As he was about to report this change, the disciple felt dizzy and pa.s.sed out. An elderly man appeared in this dimension and looked at the statue.
"He"s finally here," he muttered before pointing at the statue and making it disappear. He then gazed at the disciple and, with one thought, erased his memory.
w.a.n.g Wei"s arrival was felt by the entire world, causing a small commotion that would soon s...o...b..ll into an avalanche. Meanwhile, he had just arrived at an unknown location and finished witnessing his chariot disappearing.
"No attack, so that"s good news," w.a.n.g Wei muttered as he looked around him. He was on high alert during the entire ordeal. He looked at the sky, and his lips twitched. "The world"s destiny has s.h.i.+fted, meaning everyone with decent cultivation knows I"m here. Well, know the destined one is here."
He looked around and scanned his surroundings. "I"m on a planet? No, this entire area is a Starry Sky Universe. Alright, let"s adapt to this place first." He took one step to teleport to a Sun a few trillion light years away and created a cultivation cave.
"This place"s s.p.a.ce is so strong. More importantly, it felt alive as it was constantly fighting against my teleportation," w.a.n.g Wei commented. "More importantly, the effect of my Time Acceleration Array has drastically decreased compared to the lower dimension."
He sighed before entering a deep state of cultivation and immediately felt a difference. "The energy called Dao Qi in the environment is an excellent boost for comprehension. Does it exist to balance the lower effect of time acceleration? Honestly, I would rather have my formation."
The adapting process was extremely short - so short that w.a.n.g Wei did not need a formation. He spent three months adapting, and three minutes pa.s.sed outside.
"The good news is my cultivation is now 78%. This should be the benefit of first-time Ascendees. It"s a shame my body is too powerful, and there were no effects - not that I could use it if there were."
w.a.n.g Wei was now in the Third Heaven of the Adult FiendG.o.d Realm, and once he reached the fourth, he needed to pa.s.s this realm"s tribulation. Right now, he was not prepared for that. w.a.n.g Wei stood up and was about to leave when he stopped himself and frowned. A terrifying Divine Sense was scanning the area.
"No, not the area - the entire world," w.a.n.g Wei thought as he observed. The divine sense pa.s.sed through him as if he had never existed, and w.a.n.g Wei was not surprised. He was a Fateless, meaning it was extremely hard to deduce or divine any information about him. Additionally, he had the protection of the Heaven-Deceiving Array, the effect of his Spirit Flower Ability, and his 10-fold battle realm indicated he was very close to the Paragon Ream in power, the protection of his Golden Body of Merit, and the protection of fate or destiny.
"This divine sense is not someone who"s in the lower tier of the Paragon Realm, so it"s most likely the world of the Time Eater," w.a.n.g Wei a.n.a.lyzed. "Did he come back, only use his Divine Sense from the outside, or was this some kind of mechanism he already left in place?" w.a.n.g Wei did not have an answer, but he did know that there was not much time for him.
"The good news is neither Maitreya nor Supreme Unity suddenly appeared out of nowhere and obliterated me," he thought. "However, what is this odd feeling?"
w.a.n.g Wei closed his eyes as he felt a deep connection somewhere far away. At first, he thought it was his connection to his wife, but upon focusing, he realized the connection seemed out of reach.
"Is that my connection to Earth?" He was right as he now sensed a deep connection to somewhere in Primordial Chaos, which could only be the Prehistoric World.
"It seems I was too weak before; the isolation of the lower dimension should have also helped."
