Chapter 930 Ancient Clan"s Internal Response
"What should we do now?" asked one of the elders, and Huo Fenghuang did not know how to answer. Bloodline is very important to the Ancient Clan, but now, they heard the w.a.n.g Clan had the highest bloodline–FiendG.o.ds.
Their relations.h.i.+p with Qiyuan"s branch is neutral after so many years, so they are not their main concerns. The Ancient Clan worries the w.a.n.g Clan in their branch will follow after their counterparts, elevating their bloodline to a higher level.
"How did they change their bloodline? Is there a way we can replicate it?"
"You"re asking me, but who do I ask?"
They are the most knowledgeable faction in the world regarding bloodline, even outcla.s.sing the demon race. However, they"ve never heard of a human bloodline sublimated to be on par with FiendG.o.ds.
"How about we steal their bloodline?"
"Are you crazy? Didn"t you hear the Ancestor"s words? How dare you say such words with the Heavenly Emperor"s strength."
"Stupid, I"m not talking about using force. We can do it through marriage."
"That"s not a bad idea."
"Better yet, how about we facilitate a marriage between the Patriarch and the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Great idea. The Heavenly Emperor"s Dao Companion mysteriously disappeared, so we might have a chance."
"Not necessarily. There have been rumors that he has a hidden relations.h.i.+p with the Emperor from the Academy?"
"Xu s.h.i.+?"
"Be respectful."
"You"re right. I mean the Time Void Empress. She"s indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. However, she lost in terms of n.o.ble temperament to our Patriarch."
"Patriarch, how do you feel about this plan?" The elders all looked at Huo Fenghuang. No matter how much they plan, the final choice is hers.
Huo Fenghuang did not immediately reject the idea and took some time to contemplate the feasibility of this plan. In all categories, the Heavenly Emperor was the perfect man; he was handsome, powerful, wealthy, n.o.ble, and had a powerful physical body.
Alas, in the end, she shook her head:
"Based on his personality, I doubt he will take a second wife."
She has observed the Heavenly Emperor closely, and even in his interaction with Xu s.h.i.+. He could see this was a man with an iron will and would not deviate from his chosen partners.
Such a trait was not unique to him, as most members of the w.a.n.g Clan had similar traits. They would choose one Dao Companion and live their entire life being faithful.
Such an anomaly often made people wonder whether it was this reason why the w.a.n.g Clan was so powerful. In each generation, they will often have one Dao Companion and one child. Certain people believe the heir of the w.a.n.g Clan gathered the entire bloodline, talent, and luck of the clan, hence why only one child per generation.
"So, what is our next step of action?"
Their Ancient Clan has been planning for countless years to set up a devil catastrophe and save the world, thus gathering merit and luck. Unfortunately, with one chess move from the Heavenly Emperor, all the p.a.w.ns they left in the Western Continent were slaughtered, ruining their plans.
Now, they have to worry about the possible merger of the two w.a.n.g Clan, losing the destiny of the [Daofather].
"The situation has changed, so we need to adapt," said Huo Fenghuang. "Our main objective is to revive the clan, and the first step in that plan is for me to become an Eternal Emperor.
"And the main requirement for this transition is merit," a.n.a.lyzed Huo Fenghuang. "The Heavenly Emperor has great ambitions. According to my calculations, the influence of the court will probably spread to other World Communities.
"As long as we play our part, it"s not impossible to gather the needed merit."
"Are we just abandoning all our efforts so easily? There are devil cultivators in other World Communities, but we can still proceed. I prefer if we relied on ourselves than on the grace of the Heavenly Emperor."
"Our plan will have a backlash, you should all know this," said Huo Fenghuang, and the elders agreed. Their actions can indeed save the world, but they cannot completely escape the karma for unleas.h.i.+ng these devil cultivators. So, there will be backlash, but the clan"s plan is to use as little luck as possible to deal with it. By then, the clan"s luck would have been so prosperous that such a loss would be minimal.
"The Ancestor"s wisdom to us has revealed much information," continued Huo Fenghuang. "The Heavenly Emperor"s contradiction with us is that he feared the backlash of our actions would affect the Heavenly Emperor Era."
"Everything that rises must fall. This era will be glorious, but it will eventually end. The backlash for our plan could be the catalyst to destroy that era."
These people could deduce how Heavenly Dao used their actions to bring balance to the Heavenly Emperor Era in the future, ending it after reaching its acceptable limit.
"Exactly, so unless we ever take the Heavenly Emperor Position, we cannot proceed with the original plan," nodded Huo Fenghuang.
"So, what should we do?"
"The answer to this question is simple," she replied with s.h.i.+ning eyes. "The world"s political landscape will change in this era, with every faction trying their very best to cultivate Heavenly Emperors.
"So, if we want to revitalize our clan, we must cultivate as many competent Heavenly Emperors as possible and use the luck of the court to revitalize our clan"s destiny."
"Is it possible for us to be as powerful as in ancient times? Or even surpa.s.s the Dao Opening Sect."
Huo Fenghuang was quiet. Unless their clan can cultivate a peerless genius like the current Heavenly Emperor, such a thing is not possible. Regardless, she did not want to give some of these elders a blow to their fragile hearts and ego.
"As long as we cultivate more Heavenly Emperors than them, we still have a chance," replied Huo Fenghuang, deciding to say a partial truth.
"We need a step-by-step plan," said Huo Fenghuang"s father, who became one of the core elders of the Ancient Clan after his daughter"s rise.
"The Heavenly Emperor promised to revert the environment to Innate, this might be our chance," suggested someone.
"We now have the methods of becoming Primarchs. Soon, this method will become valuable. So, before this knowledge becomes public knowledge, we can use this time to establish as many advantages for our clan as possible."
Once the environment changes and Innate Qi becomes ubiquitous, Innate Demon G.o.ds reappear, so the Path of Primarchs will s.h.i.+ne again in the Myriad Emperor World. With their Ancient Clan"s foundation with Innate Bloodlines, they will have a great advantage.
"True, even the demon race cannot compete with us in this area."
"The Heavenly Emperor will definitely try to delay the spread of the Primarch Technique as much as possible to give the Dao Opening Sect an advantage. So, we only need to cooperate with him and aid as much as possible," added Huo Fenghuang.
"What about the Primordial G.o.d Cultivation System? Do we want to spread it?"
"That might not be a good idea. The Heavenly Emperor already said he would optimize the Origin System. Plus, such a thing that involved the core destiny of the Dao Opening Sect, he won"t play around."
Two factions hold the destiny of [Daofather]--the Ancient Clan and the Dao Opening Sect. Interestingly, both originated from the w.a.n.g Clan after the Heaven Opening Emperor, and Qiyuan created a cultivation system and opened the Dao to all sentient beings.
So, they knew the Heavenly Emperor would never allow any other cultivation system to replace the Origin System, thus affecting one of the core luck of his sect.
"We don"t need to spread our system and contradict with the Heavenly Emperor," said Huo Fenghuang. "But also don"t need to be fearful about the situation. Many people will be interested in the Primordial G.o.d System and will study or cultivate it.
"I deduce that some people will try to secretly get some technique from us. We can take this opportunity to get some benefits."
Everyone nodded at this approach. No matter how powerful the Heavenly Emperor is, he cannot control people"s curiosity and desires. Furthermore, not everyone is compatible with the Origin System, so they might wish to try the Primordial G.o.d System once the environments change.
"We have established an initial plan for how to deal with our relations.h.i.+p with the Heavenly Emperor. Now, let"s discuss how to retrieve the G.o.d Position we previously lost to the Eastern Faction," said Huo Fenghuang with killing intent flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes.
"Yes, we cannot swallow that breath."
"The best solution would be for the Patriarch to become an Eternal. However, such a plan would take too much time. So, I propose we choose a few sealed Heaven Chosens and have them experience the Heaven Path Tribulation. If we can cultivate a second 6-Star Primarch, we can retake everything we lost."
The elders agreed with this plan but also worried about the implications. A faction cannot have two voices, and another 6-Star Primarch could lead to problems.
"Let"s do it," said Huo Fenghuang, fully confident of her strength. Her Five Sacred Beast Bloodline is not a joke. As such, she knew she could suppress anyone who tried to test her power.
