"From a purely logical standpoint, this event has a positive side," Yan Hai continued. "As long as we can deal with him and rebuild civilization, our sect will receive great luck and destiny. However, even I feel uncomfortable thinking about how many people will die."
This world is vast, aning there are simply too many cultivators. Even if the number of cultivators was less than 1% of the world's population, the number of people is still astronomical. Yan Hai is a veteran. . She has participated in and survived two Origin Wars, so she's seen countless people die—better yet, she has watched nurous worlds crumble.
However, it's different when it's the people from her holand. It's even more heartbreaking knowing that one of their own is responsible for such devastation. Wang Wei looked at her and finally responded:
"You assu there will be mortals left."
An intense killing intent flashed in her eyes. "That's right. That bastard is in charge of Heaven and Earth, so it will be easy for him to eradicate all the mortals in the world — especially since it's another thod of weakening Heavenly Dao."
"He won't use such a crude and direct thod," Wang Wei said.
"Oh?"
"He only needs to allow these cultivators to increase their lifespan or be capable of cultivating by absorbing the flesh and soul of regular mortals. Then, they will turn on these people. Such an act of its people committing mass genocide can be considered going against the natural laws of Heaven and Earth, which also ans—"
"It's a better way to weaken Heavenly Dao." The killing intent in Yan Hai's eyes was almost tangible. "This is why I despise you people with deep scheming minds." Wang Wei looked at her strangely.
"You and Brother Qiyuan are on my side, so you're different."
Wang Wei rolled his eyes. He was not in the mood to debate her weird thinking logic. "Alright, it's ti for to make my move."
"I know you wouldn't let him have his way so easily," Yan Hai smirked. "Do you need my help?" Wang Wei hesitated. "What is it?" she pressed.
"I really didn't want to drag the sect into this ss."
Yan Hai looked at him up and down before smiling in satisfaction. "Do you think the sect can stay out of this if you don't interact with it?" She shook her head.
"Although we are considered the second most powerful amongst the Overlords, everyone knows that is only on the surface. Our sect has the most profound foundation, our luck and destiny are the most condensed, and more importantly, we have sothing the bastard has been lusting for for many years."
'The Trinity Venerable Inheritance,' Wang Wei thought.
"So, whether you exist or not, that bastard will target us soday."
"I understand," Wang Wei nodded. "Send a ssage to the sect. If there are signs that cultivators' longevity can be improved by killing mortals, they need to create an alliance with other sealed lineages to make rules that this practice is forbidden. They must create a task force to kill anyone who disobeys."
"No problem," Yan Hai nodded.
"One more thing, well, two more things. First, try to see if you can still contact the people in limbo or even if you can revive them," Wang Wei added. "Secondly, see if you can leave this place through the Source Qi Space. Be careful, and don't try it yourself."
Yan Hai rolled her eyes. Although she wasn't as bright as these bastards, it did not an she was stupid. Even a big will beco a genius full of wisdom after living as long as her. "Get lost, brat."
Wang Wei disappeared from the room, teleporting to a desolate area. He closed his eyes briefly before waving his hand to summon countless rare Empyreans and a few Paragon Ores to build the fanciest altar possible. 'No response? Could it be that the usage of resources is not under strict limitations? Well, at least, resources that cannot directly raise cultivation.'
Wang Wei took note of this before finishing the altar. He looked in the direction of the Lawless Zone. 'He should be able to hold on a little longer, right? After all, he still has destiny protecting him.'
He took a few minutes to shower and change clothes before starting the ceremony. In a rare act, Wang Wei followed the proper procedure, including giving sacrifices and kneeling before the altar.
"Heaven and Earth above, the world faces a Calamity of Longevity. I have created a technique called [Health Preserving Technique], which allows cultivators to live to the limit of one yuan epoch. I'm willing to share it with the world, so please accept my sincere offer."
The clouds above his head started to condense as if a vision was about to manifest. However, they soon dispersed before condensing again; they repeated this pattern for a while. Wang Wei observed with worry.
'Co one, Heavenly Dao — this is your chance to fight back.' He watched the changes in the sky for five minutes before sothing happened. Wang Wei's face changed as he acted swiftly. He wore the most formidable armor from the Origin Seal Continent's armory.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nurous terrifying lightning bolts descended from Heaven and Earth. All the cultivators who saw this were shocked since this was the first ti that most of them saw Divine Punishnt. In the upper dinsion, the laws of Heaven and Earth are more ruthless, so it's rare to see anyone being punished by Heaven and Earth — especially in such a direct manner.
…
Lawless Zone's Entrance:
The Earth Emperor — a middle-aged man with short black hair, black and silver clothes, and an icy and domineering aura — looked in the distance. His divine sense has been keeping a watch on Origin Seal City for any signs or movents from Wang Wei, so he noticed the latter the mont he appeared in that deserted area.
'What is he doing?' he thought as he saw Wang Wei build that altar. 'Should I stop him?' He soon shook his head. There is a high chance that this was a plot to lure him from his spot, so the Earth Emperor decided to wait. So, even when Wang Wei finished the ceremony and suffered from Divine Punishnt, he observed with cold eyes.
'I hope this bastard dies,' the Earth Emperor sneered. However, his expression changed as he received a direct ssage. He sighed before preparing to head over there and attack. As soon as he had this intention, soone blocked his way.
"A puppet?" He suddenly rembered that his people reported that Wang Wei had a Paragon Puppet. He sneered. "Do you think you can stop with a puppet?" An armor and spear suddenly appeared on the puppet, both of the best quality. The Earth Emperor did not care until the puppet did sothing else.
A strange array appeared on its torso before disappearing. This ti, the Earth Emperor had to be serious. That's because that array was a Self-Destruction Array.
'Damn it. If that thing explodes, I'll lose a life. At best, I'll be severely injured, given these people a chance to deal with .'
The puppet sneered. Wang Wei knew how to utilize these people's mindsets against them. This puppet was not enough to defeat the Earth Emperor and wasn't even enough to delay for long. However, it would be different if the latter were fighting with the constant thought of a possible death-dealing explosion.
The puppet looked at the Earth Emperor before pouncing on it. Wang Wei ordered it to use a madman style of fighting that disregards any defensive techniques and only attacks; its purpose is to put as many injuries as possible on the enemy.
"Damn it," Earth Emperor cursed once he realized this; he felt aggrieved. However, now that he had returned ho and did not have to fight on the frontier, he valued his life even more than before.
…
After noticing the puppet was doing its job, Wang Wei paid no attention to it and focused on the punishnt. He did not care that he was being punished since he knew this was a desperate move from Supre Unity to prevent him from getting rit. Wang Wei went all out to survive this punishnt, pushing himself to the limit. His bet worked.
A few minutes later, the dark clouds dispersed, and a vision manifested between Heaven and Earth. Wang Wei's voice reached every corner of the Eternal Ascension World, followed by rit descending from the sky.
'This should help recover,' Wang Wei said as he put the rit away. 'More importantly, I've broken the situation. No, that's too optimistic. I've given us a fighting chance.'
The fact that he received the rit ans that Heavenly Dao's fundantal rules are still in operation; it also ans that Heavenly Dao has a great chance at fighting Supre Unity without allowing one side to have too much of an advantage.
'The next step is Jimin. This era's first Paragon cannot fall imdiately after being crowned,' Wang Wei thought.
