Chapter 1332 The Board Is Set
Ao Shen is intelligent, so it makes sense that he chose the most influential group of the two. Of course, he must have other considerations. For example, he was once the leader of the demon race and held their destiny. Although he\'s an Innate Demon, he probably identified more with the demon race.
There are also political reasons. The Myriad Emperor World is significant in the lower dimension because they are the destiny center, meaning the demon race there is also valuable. During Wang Wei\'s reign, the demon race reached a level of prosperity unlike anything they\'ve ever seen in their history; this fact also benefited the upper-dimension demon race.
Ao Shen, the former chief of the demon race, has a significant amount of luck and destiny. It would deal a major blow to the demon race if he were to join the Primarch Origin Temple. On the contrary, his joining of the demon race allowed them to steal some luck from the temple.
As for Ao Shen\'s identity, will it cause him trouble in the demon race? It will, but not as much as one would think. It\'s pretty common for Innate Demon Gods to betray their kind and join the demon race. The upper echelons greatly encouraged such behavior. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Additionally, many demon race members have innate bloodlines. It\'s common for them to hunt Innate Demon Gods for their bloodline. Many people don\'t know this, but one of the demon race\'s ultimate goals is to swallow the Innate Demon God; they want to take the latter\'s destiny and make them into a branch of the demon race.
\'The Myriad Emperor World, as the lower dimension\'s destiny center, will often give birth to characters that will play a significant role in major events happening in the upper dimension. Could Ao Shen be one of the major players in the battle between the Demon Race and the Innate Demon Gods? Could his choice be a hint as to which side fate is favoring?\'
There is a high possibility that this is true. However, Wang Wei decided to observe more and maybe plan ahead. He is interested in what will happen once the Innate Demon Gods are completely defeated and the Path of Heaven is officially the loser in the trinity competition.
\'The Eternal Ascension World is the semi-destiny center of the Chaos Universe, so the defeat of the Heaven Path might be the last nail in the coffin for all Innate Demon Gods in the universe or the beginning of their hands.
Their end will also mean the final confrontation between the Emperor and Primordial Path. The Fiendgods are losing this fight, but will they allow themselves to lose like that without fighting back? I doubt that.\'
Wang Wei furrowed his brow. He suddenly realized that many events that can affect the entire Chaos Universe are slowly brewing, and as expected, the storm will start from the Eternal Ascension World.
\'I had a feeling that my path of transcendence would lead to the Third Origin War. Are those events the prelude to this? But if such grand events are only the prelude, what the hell will the actual war be like?\' Wang Wei did not know he would achieve transcendence, but his intuition and the information he had gathered about his future self told him that it would not be a peaceful method.
\'Forget it. There is no point in thinking so much. I\'m just a little Empyrean.\'
"Hey," said the steward. "Why are you distracted? What did I say about not looking?" Wang Wei glanced at him, and the man felt the fear of God rushed down his spine. He almost instinctively changed to his true form.
"What are you doing? This is the demon race. Watch yourself."
"Lead the way," Wang Wei said calmly. The steward felt ashamed for his previous reaction but did not dare show it again. So, he quietly led Wang Wei to an isolated mountain with a small cottage. The mountain was simple, especially compared to how lavish and grandiose the others are. Additionally, he only sensed the presence of one person.
"The sage is waiting inside."
Wang Wei did not say anything and walked inside the cottage. He saw a woman sitting cross-legged, waiting for him. She wore a simple black robe; she was devastatingly beautiful, but for some reason, no one would immediately notice her beauty, and that\'s because of her strange presence.
Her face was youthful, and did not look over 25 years old, but her hair was all white and gray, like an old woman\'s. Her aura was ancient, and her all-white eyes were so profound that even someone with Wang Wei\'s willpower and soul was lost in them for a few seconds.
\'This woman is not simple,\' Wang Wei thought. Of course, he had known this before. Anyone who can injure their [Existence] to escape persecution from the two suns is ruthless, so how could they be simple? Furthermore, she was obviously a Paragon and probably one of the best ones, but she did not participate in the Ultimate Taboo — that\'s another suspicious point.
"Senior," Wang Wei bowed.
The Star Sage, also called Fan Sui and with the title of All-Knowing Sage ( a title she did not like), looked at Wang Wei. "Heavenly Dao made a wise move to choose instead of Kong."
\'This woman knows a lot,\' Wang Wei thought. He soon realized it would be odd for her not to know much. "Thank you."
"Sit down," Fan Sui said. "Did he give you a token? Let me see it." Wang Wei handed her the token, and she caressed it with her thumbs. She looked like she was reminiscing and had some other hidden emotions.
"What do you want to know?"
"My parents — they disappeared. I want to know what happened to them."
Fan Sui nodded. Her eyes glowed for a few seconds before she frowned. She raised her hand to summon a book and flipped through it page by page.
\'Her information does not come from divination or any form of calculating the secrets of Heaven and Earth. Instead, she can directly access the archive/records of Heavenly Dao,\' Wang Wei analyzed. If Wang Wei\'s way of gathering information falls into the category of Fate Dao, Fan Sui\'s method is under Heaven Dao.
"Your father and mother should have ascended, but an anomaly occurred," Fan Sui said. "Everything about them has disappeared: their fate, destiny, and even causal link. I\'m sorry, but I don\'t know what happened to them."
"I see," Wang Wei sighed.
"You\'re not surprised? It seemed you expected this."
"You could say that."
Fan Sui nodded. "I want to talk with you, but I can tell you\'re not in the best mood, so let\'s wait another time." She raised her hand to condense a second token before handing both to him.
"Return the original one to him, which is for you. You can come to see me if you have any problems in the future."
Wang Wei was surprised. Based on how Miscellaneous reacted and a few things he read, he knew how valuable this token was. One of the ways the demon race makes an absurd amount of money is by selling these tokens. Many top powerhouses will sell most of their wealth to find certain secrets, especially those involving their or their lineage\'s future.
"Thank you, senior." Wang Wei bowed politely and left soon afterward. The steward quietly guided him to the exit while Fan Sui calmly looked at him leave.
"All the pieces of this grand chessboard have been set, and now, it\'s time for the players to officially start making their moves. How can the demon race survive the upcoming era?" Fan Sui muttered. Her eyes penetrated the distance, and saw a handsome coiled dragon with its eyes closed, deep in meditation.
\'Ao Shen, the future of the demon race might lie on you. Don\'t disappoint me.\'
…
Wang Wei returned to the Origin Seal Continent, and Yan Hai\'s projection appeared. "So?" Wang Wei only shook his head.
"If even she cannot help you, that can only mean…"
"Let\'s not talk about this," Wang Wei said. It was pointless to say anything else. Yan Hai patted his shoulder: "I\'m sorry, kid. If you need someone to talk with, I\'m here."
"Thank you, ancestor, but I just want to be alone now." Wang Wei entered his room and sat on a cushion; he was deep in thought.
Unbeknownst to him, someone was watching him from somewhere or someplace.
"Things have gotten a little out of control, so you need more pressure," said the voyeur. "These people are not enough to prepare you for what\'s coming."
"Are you being a little too harsh? At least tell him," said another voice.
"It would defeat the purpose of pressuring him if I told him the truth. As long as he doesn\'t know it\'s me for sure, he\'ll be motivated to improve himself as swiftly as possible," the first voice responded. "As for being harsh? You and I both know that we can reach such a level only by being ruthless to ourselves."
