Chapter 795 Ancient Clan"s Destiny
(This chapter is not edited.)
—-------
Only a few factions did not react to w.a.n.g Wei"s news. The first ones decided to continue to focus on the demon race. To them, w.a.n.g Wei"s bold words are something for the future, so they did not want to abandon the current benefit. Sadly, without having an overwhelming number of allies, these people were powerless to deal with Sword One and the demon race"s blockade.
The other two factions not affected by this news were the Dao Opening Sect and the Di Clan. The Dao Opening Sect has long been prepared for this news; they were even aware that w.a.n.g Wei would use this occasion to announce the news to the world so people would prepare beforehand.
Of course, they also had a task–to monitor the Ancient Clan and ensure they did not use knowledge about the Ancient System to gather more resources and allies.
Meanwhile, the Di Clan did not react much because they believed their Patriarch would be the final winner. Regardless, they also felt w.a.n.g Wei"s idea was extraordinary and pondered the possibility of them adapting it.
If it were before, the Di Clan knew they would have no chance, given their patriarch"s personality. Luckily, the latter seemed interested in ama.s.sing a large amount of merit recently, so he might be convinced.
Under this a.s.sumption, they begin to prepare for the future.
Moon, Ancient Clan, Huo Clan:
"Are you positive this is the right way?" asked Huo Fenghuang"s father.
"Yes. One of these two will become an Eternal Emperor–even Eternal Supremes. If our clan wants to survive or take advantage of this new era, we must have the power to rival them. At the very least, have some deterrent.
"Furthermore, although Ao Shen has a tiny chance of success, if he does, he might hold a grudge and attack me."
Her father, "Becoming a 6-Star Primarch has many benefits–including suppressing many of these restless individuals in the council. Then, there is the appearance of Sword One with Eternal Strength."
He paused before sighing, "However, I truly wish you could become an Eternal Emperor."
Although the Ancient Clans wors.h.i.+pped bloodlines, they were not like the Divine Dao League, who relied on their bloodline to the point of becoming useless.
All individuals of the Ancient Clan are taught that bloodline is only an auxiliary aid, and they must rely on themselves and forge their own path or Dao.
Furthermore, they also know for a fact the Emperor Path is supreme, so Huo Fenghuang"s father wishes his daughter to become an Eternal Emperor.
Huo Fenghuang sighed out loud, "We have no choice. I might find a way in the future, but now, it"s the best option."
"You don"t have to worry," said a voice that suddenly emanated from the void. Huo Fenghuang immediately stood up, looking around while on guard. Then, she saw an elderly woman with a hunchback and a blue flame mark on her forehead walking in the head.
"Ancestor," she saluted.
"As long as you become a 6-Star Primarch, everything will be alright, and you"ll have a chance in the future," said the elderly woman.
"What do you mean?"
"Back in the middle of the war, the Innate Demon G.o.ds discovered the superiority of the Emperor Path and created ways to change paths. However, there are rules and restrictions."
The elderly woman paused, her eyes blurred as if lost in her memories.
"A 5-Star Primarch can become a First Cla.s.s Emperor, 4 Star becomes Second Cla.s.s, and so on. However, one and 2-Star Primarchs cannot become Emperors unless they used a method similar to Dao Cutting."
Huo Fenghuang understood these restrictions. 1-star and 2-star Primarchs correspond to Immortal Venerable and Dao Ancestors, so it made sense they would be restricted.
"Are you saying as long I become a 6-Star Primarch, I can turn into an Eternal Emperor after acquiring a Heaven Will?"
"No," said the woman, shaking her head. "You will have a chance to become Eternal Emperor. From what I know, a few people failed this method and became Pseudo Eternals."
"As long there is hope," she replied with a smile and burden-free temperament. "The only issue is how to get a Heaven Will. Do I have to ascend?"
After Gu Xuan"s Deception Trial, Huo Fenghuang tried to learn as much as possible about the upper dimension. As such, she knew many secrets.
"There is no need for you to ascend–we will use merit."
The Ancient Clan needed an Eternal leading them for the plan to succeed. Unfortunately, after waiting for countless eras, they finally have a Heaven Chosens like Huo Fenghuang. So they would not let her leave so easily before accomplis.h.i.+ng the mission.
After all, they do not know when they will have another genius on her level. Adding to the fact she has a high chance of becoming an Eternal Supreme, her values skyrocketed.
"It"s a shame she was born in the wrong era," thought the elderly woman. This generation was full of monsters, making even top Heaven Chosens like Huo Fenghuang feel despair.
"Merit can be used to get a Heaven Will?" she asked before answering her own question. "Yes, merit is omnipotent. Plus, the Human Emperor used a similar method. But how are we going to gather it? I a.s.sume the quant.i.ty needed would be tremendous."
"The council has a preliminary plan," said the elderly woman. "This involved setting up a devil catastrophe before saving the world."
"Devil Catastrophe?" Huo Fenghuang was confused; she was not following the Ancestor"s conversation due to the lack of information.
"For many years, we have formed alliances and cultivated various devil factions in the Western Continent. Now, it"s time for them to act."
Huo Fenghuang frowned deeply, "No one is stupid. So, how could we hide such a thing from these powerful factions?"
"I know your worry, but we have already planned everything out. The catastrophe will be directed toward other World Communities. We will not attack powerful worlds like the Emperor Dao World or the Star Beast World."
Huo Fenghuang"s eyes lit up briefly before swiftly calming down.
"If we want to succeed, we cannot bypa.s.s w.a.n.g Wei or this generation"s winner."
"That"s true," nodded the elderly woman. "However, we do not have to act now. We can wait for them to ascend before acting."
Huo Fenghuang frowned as her intuition told her their clan might face a catastrophe in this generation if they did not play their cards correctly.
"I know what you"re thinking," said the elderly woman. "However, no matter who it is, they do not dare eradicate our clan. The worst-case scenario is to be drastically weakened and sealed once again.
"If that happens, we only need to lay low for a while."
"Indeed," thought Huo Fenghuang. No one dares to destroy their Ancient Clan, and that includes w.a.n.g Wei.
And the reason is simple–they have too much destiny.
Their Ancient Clans contained the family of the first human to discover fire, the first to discover hunting, animal husbandry, agriculture, the calendar, the creator of etiquette and rules, the first dynasty, the first Great Emperor, the first Weapon, Pill, Array, and Talisman Ancestor.
And those are just the tip of the iceberg.
With such condense destiny, Heavenly Dao cannot allow their Clans to extinguish. And anyone who dares to do so will suffer from Destiny Backlash. This is one of the many reasons Qiyuan did not eradicate them back in the Ancient Emperor Era.
And because of this death-free card, the Ancient Clan can act recklessly in the Myriad Emperor World and maybe the lower dimension.
So, no matter how powerful Di Tian or w.a.n.g Wei becomes in the future, they will suffer terrible consequences.
Huo Fenghuang suddenly squinted her eyes as she thought of something.
"Could it be the clan"s real plan did not involve reverting the environment back to innate or warring with the Innate Demon G.o.ds? That plan was nothing but a smoke-screen to hide their true intention."
Countless thoughts flashed in her mind. If the Ancient Clan made it look like they were occupied with another Innate-Acquire War, no one would pay attention to the Devil Catastrophe or connect the two.
As such, they can secretly work behind the scene.
"Saving the world from devils will have the same effect as saving it from Innate Demon G.o.ds. However, the former can be more secretive and less risky.
"Furthermore, the scope of the plan will not be confined to one Heaven Will World or Community."
After figuring these things out, Huo Fenghuang secretly took a deep breath in amazement. Simultaneously, she was also angered as she was never told the truth and was nothing but a p.a.w.n in the entire situation.
"We could not reveal the truth until the right moment," said the elderly woman who seemed to have read her mind. "It"s a precautionary measure to ensure nothing happens.
"Now that you know, we need to use the highest seal possible to prevent any news from leaking."
Huo Fenghuang sighed, knowing this was how the council operated. Although she hated her, she was used to it. Luckily, she would soon become the most powerful member of the clan, thus learning all the information and earning the position of a chess player.
