[Unedited Chapter]
-----
Wang Wei lay his head on Wu Hong's lap and she gently played with his hair. He finished recounting everything he had experienced. "See how much I have suffered?"
"I understand," she nodded. "Any relationship with Heavenly Dao is almost like a curse."
"So?" Wang Wang Wei asked.
"So what?"
"Why don't you rush over and teach that woman, Si ihui, a lesson?" Wang Wei asked.
"You should avenge your own grievance."
"Don't you know I'm a feminist, so I don't hit won?" Wang Wei asked.
"Say that to Liu ixiu, Mo Xingyun, Tong Ruobing —"
"Alright, alright."
"And, wouldn't being a feminist an you have no problem hitting won and n?" Wu Hong countered.
"Now, we suddenly care about the definition of words," Wang Wei rolled his eyes. "If the situation were reversed, you would expect to beat the other guy."
"Of course. Wouldn't you want to show how strong and masculine you are?" Wang Wei replied, asking with an innocent voice and eyes, making Wang Wei's eyes twitch.
"Fine, you win. I don't know why I tried to argue with you in the first place. I thought I was the two-faced one in the relationship."
"Little brat, you're still a few epochs too young to argue with ," Wu Hong sneered. As soon as she uttered these words, she regretted them when she saw the glint in Wang Wei's eyes. She knew he was about to make a sexual innuendo or joke about their age difference.
"Wash your words," she imdiately warned.
"You're no fun," Wang Wei scoffed. There is a saying back on Earth that marrying a daughter-in-law three years older than the groom will bring prosperity to the family. He was lucky to find a daughter-in-law billions of years older, but he couldn't take full advantage of this fact. How egregious!
"Now it's your turn," Wang Wei changed the subject. "What did you experience inside the fog?"
"Things started as you said. After sitting down, the materials appeared, including a few not included in your experience." Wang Wei nodded. Wu Hong was a forr Primal, so it's expected that the process of establishing a [Transcendent Foundation] would be different or more challenging.
"The process was more dangerous than expected. Grand Dao's consciousness descended, trying to force to experience a tribulation for the process."
"So, it has started regulating these foundations?" Wang Wei asked.
"It appeared so."
"It makes sense since it regulates everything. Continue."
"I finished the process and tested my new strength. But then, I realized I was sealed," Wu Hong continued. "And before you ask, yes, I'm more powerful than before."
"I'll catch up and surpass you soon," Wang Wei said through gritted teeth.
"It's good to have dreams," Wu Hong lightly tapped his face. "Now that I had more ti, I started working on the Twelve and Thirteen Foundation. However, as soon as I closed my eyes, I realized I could rember so events of the taboo."
"Oh?"
"In the last trial, I t a woman standing in this white space that seed to be the origin of everything. She first showed the alternate tiline you ntioned."
"Really?" Wang Wei was imdiately intrigued. The alternative tiline he saw focused mostly on him, and the Wu Hong he saw was already grown and established. So, he did not know much about her.
"According to that tiline, I should have ascended during the Devil Race's War of Conquest."
"That's even earlier than the First Origin War," Wang Wei comnted.
"That's right. The destiny to kill the Primogenitor Devil was mind after he had made my life a living hell," Wu Hong explained. "The woman then revealed she was a version of , and she cared deeply about losing one of her disciples, so she rewrote the tiline to erase the latter's existence."
"Erased? Why not just change it?"
"I had the sa question, and she said the disciple was the karmic manifestation of her pain and suffering. She saw countless tilines, and in all of them, the latter dies, and she suffers devastating emotional pain. So, she took the opportunity to erase her."
"That sounds harsh," Wang Wei comnted. He suddenly rembered the only ti he saw lower-dinsion Wu Hong cry. "But, what opportunity was she talking about?"
"I ask, but she only answered with a smile," Wu Hong shook her head.
"Of course she did," Wang Wei sighed. "What else?"
"I didn't just see the other tiline, but experienced it. I experienced all the trials and tribulations of the Devil Race Eradication, the First and Second Origin War, and the tribulation from our relationship."
Wang Wei was silent.
"Did you know that after you created that clone for Xun Junyao, I spent billions of yuan epochs fearing you were the clone and she had your real body?"
"I would never do that."
"I know, but I could not remove that irrational fear from my mind, and it beca a deep insecurity for ," Wu Hong sighed.
"Didn't I try to appease you?"
"He did, but only years later when I couldn't hide it anymore," Wu Hong replied.
"Well, it's his fault he took so long to notice. Don't worry, one day, I'll search for him and beat him for all he put you through."
"Now is not the ti for your cheekiness," Wu Hong said with a smile as she pinched his handso face, and Wang Wei gave her puppy eyes.
"After experiencing that tiline, she asked to choose."
"Choose? As in choosing a tiline?" Wang Wei asked.
"Yes, she wanted to choose which tiline I wanted to be the primary and secondary, or whether I wanted only to rember one," Wu Hong explained.
"Since you're here, I'm guessing you chose our tiline?"
"Not exactly. I fought with her."
"You what?" Wang Wei asked.
"Not physically, but verbally," she explained.
"Why?" Wang Wei asked with lips twitching.
"Our tiline is obviously better, but it's only because she ddled in it and changed things. I am not too comfortable with her changing things and ssing with my life."
"But she's you."
"She ntioned that," Wu Hong nodded.
"aning you would make the sa choice if you had her power."
"She also argued that," Wu Hong continued.
"So, you agreed with her?"
"While she was correct, I still don't like the fact that she ddled."
'You realized how absurd that conversation was from her point of view," Wang Wei comnted. "She was communicating with an alternate version of her past self that was technically still her, but that self disagreed with decisions she made, to be precise, decisions that self will eventually make. Well, maybe not make the sa decision since the alternate self now has different experiences and preferences.
"I'm getting a headache just thinking about it," Wang Wei said.
"We figured as much and had a laugh," Wu Hong chuckled. Wang Wei imagined the beautiful sight of two of these beauties laughing and chatting and had a smile on the corner of his mouth. He only woke up when soone pinched his side.
"So, what did you end up choosing?" he asked.
"I asked her whether that choice was important, and she told that at her level, it was only a minor thing. However, she also explained that the slightest change or improvent is extrely precious at her level."
"A world in which the little things matter because everyone is too powerful and can do everything? I guess it makes sense," Wang Wei nodded.
"I chose this tiline, but I wanted to rember the other tiline as well. So, she removed their influence on my mory," Wu Hong sighed. The eting with her future self was the first ti she had t soone so powerful. She now understood why Wang Wei accepted events related to his future self. The power difference is too vast, and the only thing you can do is accept and hope.
"I'm glad you had such a wonderful experience. My future self is a jerk and never speaks to directly," Wang Wei complained.
"She had a ssage for you," Wu Hong continued.
"Oh? Did she want to remind you that our love is eternal?"
"Just because she's , don't think I won't consider it cheating if you get with her," Wu Hong warned, making Wang Wei speechless. Wu Hong chuckled at his facial expression before becoming serious:
"She said to be careful of the [Ti Nexuses]."
"Ti Nexus," Wang Wei muttered. "These words sound familiar." He suddenly sat straight on her lap with an ugly expression.
"Did you think of sothing?"
"The other you — she warned of the sa thing, but I forgot."
"How could you forget sothing so important? Unless…"
"Soone placed a spiritual hint on to ignore such an important warning," Wang Wei said with an ugly expression.
'Who?"
"Who else can it be? Grand Dao that bastard," Wang Wei said with gritted teeth. Wu Hong warned him around the ti of the Heaven Will Battle, just before she dissipated. Afterward, Wang Wei had direct connection to Grand Dao when proving the Dao, which should be the ti he was under that spiritual hint.
