The fate eye at the center of the array scanned everywhere in the court before releasing chains in all directions. Each chain would bind soone who was detected to have a parasite. Wang Wei and Wu Hong would then use their Acupuncture Technique to remove the red parasite from their bodies. So tried to run away, but they were soon captured by the fate chains or by other mbers of the court.
"Hmm?"
"What is it?" Wu Hong asked.
"I sensed soone watching from that infected individual," Wang Wei said as he pointed to soone in the far east.
"That ans this attack was not just to cause chaos and destruction, but also to gather intel."
"Most likely."
"Have you tried tracing the karma line?"
"I did it, and it failed."
"That’s unfortunate," Wu Hong shook her head before they continued their work. Many people glanced at how perfectly in sync they worked and confird the rumors circulating about their relationship. Of course, so refused to admit it until those two publicly admitted it. With the two working together, the situation was soon under control, so Qiyuan summoned them.
"Words alone cannot express how relieved I am that you two were here," Qiyuan imdiately expressed. This event has solidified a decision he was struggling with: his first transcendent foundation will be about perfection. He still cannot bypass the ntal barrier of entering the Dark Truth, but he can still cultivate a modified version of Wang Wei and Wu Hong’s technique. Then, he can use the concept of perfection to finally cultivate the [Existence Blueprint Technique].
"Can we talk in private?" Wang Wei said, which imdiately extinguished Qiyuan’s excitent. He dismissed all the other strategists, except for Ye Guang.
"What is it?"
"We didn’t get everybody."
"How is that possible?" Ye Guang asked.
"Based on a preliminary study of this thing, we deduced they have three stages," Wu Hong explained. "Our thod can only discover the first stage, and it seems three hundred years is enough for a few to evolve to the second stage and beyond."
"If your thods can only discover the first stage, what is required to discover them in the second and third stages?"
"The second stage would probably require the Saint to take action. As for the third..." She did not say anything, but her silence spoke volus. "The good news is there is a chance that this parasite will lose its ability to transmit by the ti it reaches the third stage."
"How confident are you about that statent?"
"60%, maybe less," Wu Hong replied.
"That is not much," Ye Guang muttered.
"Well, we’ve only had these parasites for less than an hour," Wang Wei explained.
"I’m not blaming you, just pointing out that the number is not reassuring given what is at stake." Ye Guang spoke the truth. The consequences will be dire if these parasites are not dealt with as swiftly as possible.
"Go initiate a lockdown. No one can enter or leave the court," Qiyuan ordered.
"Is that useful? Over the past three hundred years, many people outside should have co into contact with these parasites," Ye Guang comnted.
"We can still minimize the risk," Qiyuan explained. Ye Guang nodded before executing his order.
"Additionally, I need you two to scan the entire world to find any first-stage parasites."
"You should understand that by the ti we finish, most of these parasites should have already evolved. So, do you have a way to speed things up?" Wang Wei asked.
"Yes," Qiyuan said as he summoned a jade talisman. "The Saint granted the ability to use so of her powers as Heavenly Emperor. With this thing, you can use Heavenly Dao itself to scan the entire world. Be careful since this ability will have a heavy burden on your mind."
"Understood."
Wang Wei and Wu Hong left, leaving the court’s two foremost strategists to their own devices. The situation was worse than expected. Not only did they suffer imnse casualties, but the people whom these infected individuals killed had their souls and destiny swallowed, and presumably, sent back to the Black Dinsion.
"We need to do sothing to raise morale, or our situation will slowly deteriorate over ti," Ye Guang uttered.
"Don’t you think I know that?" Qiyuan replied. "The issue is these people can attack and retreat to the Black Dinsion, but we can only respond once they leave their base."
"Then we lure them outside."
"What are you thinking?"
"Don’t they want soul and destiny?" Ye Guang asked. "We blatantly build arrays and weapons to stop the process, forcing them to send troops to stop the construction. Then, we release the Micro Curse."
Qiyuan frowned.
"I know you might think it’s too early for that, but we need a loud and public victory. Plus, we may be able to detect so information from inside the Black Dinsion."
"Using their tactics against them? That’s not a bad idea," Qiyuan nodded. "Let’s do it." He imdiately ordered the relevant departnt to proceed with this operation.
Divine War Post:
All mbers looked at Wang Wei through the infected pawn, and for so reason, the room beca eerily quiet. "That’s him, right? The original self of the Fate Lord from Tiline 3987C."
"Sa face, sa hair and eye color, and the sa power of fate," soone nodded. "The only difference was the lack of scar."
"It seems we can no longer deny that this man called Wang Wei is indeed the original self of the Fate Lord."
Everyone present was familiar with the story of the Fate Lord from Tiline 3987C, and a few had even participated. After Grand Dao isolated their tiline, they were not completely cut off from the Infinite Trichiliocosm. The Highest Sovereign would not allow himself to beco a prisoner in his own tiline. Instead, they were stopped from fusing more tilines into the Divine Tiline to elevate it to a higher state.
Despite their states, the Infinite Divine Court did not stop its military expansion. The Infinite Trichilliocosm was the primary source of all their resources, so they continued their conquest and even built military outposts in nurous worlds. One of them was Tiline 3987C.
That invasion was supposed to be a simple one since it was determined that no Saint existed in the realm. A talented commander from the Infinite Divine Court took the mission and headed to that tiline. It was shocking when the latter failed. His failure, while surprising, was not alarming. However, after the third expedition failed, all eyes were on that tiline.
At first, the court thought it had made a mistake, and there was a Saint. But soon, everybody learned of the cause of failure: the Fate Lord. The man played all three previous commanders for a fool. Tiline 3987C beca a challenge for the young talent of the courts, especially the Grand Command Academy. All these geniuses who thought themselves clever rushed to take the mission, and the result was the sa. Old commanders who were still stuck in the Paragon Realm, but with ample experience, soon signed up to deal with this issue. Nothing changed.
Ultimately, the upper echelons of the Infinite Divine Court realized the mission had beco detrintal to the pride and confidence of all the commanders and chose to secretly send a Saint to eradicate the tiline. That should have been the end of the story. The Saint dealt with everybody, and a young commander would be chosen to receive the honor, thus appeasing the public.
Unfortunately, an accident still occurred. The Saint’s mission was successful, but when he returned, he was on the verge of death. Before his death, the Fate Lord cast a curse powered by the hatred and resentnt of all sentient beings of his tiline, almost achieving the feat of killing a Saint as an Immortal.
"There is no need to panic," Wan Yani said. "We know that there is no guarantee that Wang Wei will be as capable as his alternate self. And even if he is, we are prepared." The thods and tactics of the Fate Lord have been thoroughly studied and analyzed. Powerful Saints have even recreated so version of the Fate Lord to simulate his mind and way of thinking. As such, Wan Yani still had so confidence in dealing with the current situation.
Her words were effective. These strategists were so bewitched by the myth surrounding the Fate Lord that they montarily lost their composure. But no one can bla them. A few of them took missions into Tiline 3987C, and they only survived because they ran away fast enough or used the power of their families.
’First Commander, have you noticed his cultivation?’ White Saber communicated through divine sense.
’I have,’ Wan Yani nodded. According to the news Ti Eater sent, Wang Wei wasn’t even a peak Paragon the last ti they fought. But now, he was already a primal. Such a speed of cultivation was absurd by usual standards. While Wan Yani had t people whose cultivation speed trumped the latter by a long shot, those were Saint Children who were born with the ability to ignore the rules.
