[Unedited Chapter]

Although Wang Wei felt this should not be his burden to bear, this did not an he would leave it alone. 'I need soone to monitor him and deal with the possible complications.' He pondered briefly and ca up with a plan.
"Sage, do you mind if I use your na to spread this news?" Wang Wei asked. Wang Wei knew the Overlords and other top lineages were more likely to believe and take this trouble seriously if it ca from her instead of him.
"That's why I'm revealing it to you," Sage Fan Sui calmly replied.
"Thank you."
"No problem, but what will you do with Sage Pure Fla?" she asked.
"I can only lure him out the old fashion way," Wang Wei replied.
"I wish your plan success," Sage Fan Sui nodded.
"One last thing," Wang Wei said. "Did Ye Dafu return to the Demon Race? I can't sense his karmic line."
"The naughty monkey? He's in punishnt."
Wang Wei's lips twitched: "What did he do?"
"Should you know?"
"? What does it have to do with ?" Wang Wei asked.
"Aren't you the one who put these ideas into his mind?"
"Idea? Wait, he didn't really try to remove his na from the book of Life and Death, right?"
"That's right," Fan Sui nodded. "As soon as he beca an Empyrean, he sneaked into the underworld, searching for the so-called Book of Life and Death, trying to remove his na. We had to pay many resources for the Yama Kings to release him.
"In fact, that little monkey is lucky. Otherwise, he might have been stuck in the underworld once the lock appeared."
Wang Wei frowned after hearing these words. He never paid attention to the little trick he did to the Monkey King, but now, he realizes that his small actions might have bigger implications. 'Is Ye Dafu sohow related to Sun Wukong? But how? Inheriting his spirit? Or sothing else?'
Nas have power, and there is no better proof of this saying than the fact that the Maitreya of the Eternal Ascension World has the sa na as the Maitreya Bodhisattva on Earth. Wang Wei has always wondered what the connection between these two was, and the best explanation he ca up with was that she inherited the spirit of the Bodhisattva. Now, he started to believe the sa for Ye Dafu.
'The question I need answers to is how can they influence the Chaos Universe given how isolated the Prehistoric World is?' Wang Wei analyzed. 'Did Grand Dao allow it, or is there a more profound truth I don't know about?'
"It seems there were no bigger machinations behind your actions," Fan Sui stated after seeing his reaction.
"I'm afraid I might have been a pawn, too," Wang Wei sighed. He did not believe it was a coincidence that he accidentally altered Ye Dafu's fate to be similar to Sun Wukong back on Earth.
"I understand," Fan Sui nodded her head. One of the fundantal truths of the cultivation world is that everybody is a pawn of soone. The higher the cultivation, the more agency a cultivator has, but that also ans they are more valuable pawns.
"I must leave," Wang Wei announced. "But I must say one last thing. If my guess about Ye Dafu is correct, no punishnt will easily curb his wild personality, and he probably won't stop until he takes his na away from that book. Additionally, he might have a deep fate with Buddhism."
Fan Sui pondered briefly before thanking him. This information will allow the demon race to prepare for Ye Dafu's destiny and how to better train or raise him. Without it, they could have lost him after putting in countless efforts and resources.
Wang Wei disappeared, heading directly to the Origin Seal Continent to see his ancestor.
"I need to see Ancestor Qiyuan."
"Now you don't even say hello," Yan Hai said with a frown, making Wang Wei sigh.
"Ancestor, ti is of the essence, and I have much on my plate, so I apologize if I don't have the ti or energy for our usual banters."
Yan Hai looked at him before snorting coldly. She waved her hand to activate countless formations to isolate the area before summoning a token before activating it. A small black hole appeared in the room, and a few seconds later, a deep voice ca from the other side:
"Third Sister, did sothing else happen?"
"The kid wants to see Big Brother — it seems urgent," Yan Hai responded.
"Is that so? Give a few seconds."
A few seconds later, the black hole trembled before an illusory body appeared, showing a handso man. The man imdiately smiled at Wang Wei before reaching to hug him:
"If it isn't the Wang Clan's Qilin Son," Qiyuan said. "How have you been?"
"Stress and losing hair," Wang Wei replied as he returned the hug.
"I can't do anything about your stress, but I know an excellent hair-growth recipe. I guarantee Wu Hong will complint you once the treatnt is done."
Wang Wei was speechless. "But what I want is for you to reduce my stress."
"I'm dead. What can I do?" Qiyuan replied casually. "I'm kidding. Tell what is on your mind?"
However, Wang Wei was suddenly on alert at this ancestor. He felt that this was the kind of state of mind Qiyuan was currently in. He was retiring as the clan and sect's "brain" or "wise leader" and handing all the burden and trouble to him.
'The future is worrying,' Wang Wei thought. If Qiyuan decides to "retire" and leave all the work to him, his life will be too busy. 'No, I can't let this bastard enjoy life while I do everything.' Wang Wei imdiately made plans on how he will interact with his ancestors in the future.
"This is what I just learned from Sage Fan Sui," Wang Wei said before explaining the situation with Ti Eater.
"So, you want us to keep a watch over him?" Qiyuan asked.
"It would be better if you could eliminate him, and please don't give the excuse you're dead."
Qiyuan glanced at him, wondering whether this kid had followed his plan. He did not dwell on this for long as Qiyuan started to observe the world. He raised his hand to summon so of the Dao Opening Sect's luck to boost his powers.
"Big brother!" Yan Hai warned.
"Don't worry. Maitreya blessed us with her power, so we can now hide from him and even interfere a little," Qiyuan reassured as he continued his observation. He observed for a few minutes before speaking again:
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."
"What did you see?" Wang Wei asked with a frown.
"Ti Eater's catastrophe is inevitable."
"Are you serious?"
"Heavenly Dao still wants to be the destiny center of the Chaos Universe, and this catastrophe is to make up for what it lacked," Qiyuan revealed.
"Wait, are you saying Heavenly Dao is the chess player behind Ti Eater?" Wang Wei asked incredulously.
"One of the players," Qiyuan corrected. "By now, Ti Eater should have gone rogue and beco soone else's pawn."
Wang Wei grunted softly, caressing his temple: "What more can you reveal about this catastrophe?"
"The plan, all along, was to use this catastrophe to reshuffle power in the world before the Transcendence Era," Qiyuan continued. "In other words, this catastrophe was for all the Overlords and top lineages."
"You guys have ruled the world for an era, so it made sense it would want to remove so of you," Wang Wei comnted.
"Yes, not all of us can beco Transcendent Factions in the next era," Qiyuan nodded.
"Will our sect be alright?" Yan Hai asked.
"Because of this kid, we have transcendent luck," Qiyuan comnted.
"So, we'll be alright?"
"No, without a true transcendent, luck is illusory," Wang Wei added.
"He's right. We need our own transcendents as soon as possible," Qiyuan nodded.
"And how are we supposed to do that?" Yan Hai asked.
"The answer is Maitreya and this kid."
"?"
"Yes. As long as you beco a Primal and she gives you her thod, I'm willing to bet my life you can perfect it."
"You're putting too much faith in ," Wang Wei said with a wry smile.
"Maybe," Qiyuan said calmly.
"And in Maitreya," Wang Wei added.
"That's my main worry," Qiyuan revealed. "She must be the final victor in their fight, and we can only hope she becos our protector in this transitioning era."
"Are things really that bad?" Yan Hai asked.
"Don't forget other Chaos Worlds also have transcendents," Qiyuan reminded. "At this point, I can confidently say that the Eternal Ascension World will beco the Destiny Center of the universe. However, our world might not belong to us if all these people invade and take residence here."
"In other words, we're about to beco a delicious piece of at, and Maitreya will be the only one who can protect us until we grow up," Yan Hai said.
"I couldn't say it in a better way," Qiyuan nodded.
