Chapter 1445 Why Is The Past So Important?
Wang Wei did not rush to start hunting. Instead, he took the time for a few small tasks that required his attention. First, he had to recreate the lives of his Grandmist World and set up training for them to ensure they could pass the Tier 12 Creation Tribulation.
Once that was dealt with, he re-condensed his Nothingness Wheel. The thing was technically useless to him since he no longer needed it for the Empyrean Taboo Battle Realm. However, Wang Wei's body refining also required the power of nothingness, and this wheel would become applicable.
'The amount of nothingness power that my bloodline can absorb is no longer on par for my needs,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'So, it's probably best to fuse the wheel into my blood, turning it into an ability.' Since he had a plan, Wang Wei did not hesitate and took action. The process was smooth, with no interruption or trouble.
'Now, that's better,' Wang Wei thought as he sensed the optimization of his bloodline. 'However, I still need to start considering the 12th revolution of my bloodline.' His Human Fiendgod was technically only Tier 11. Wang Wei frowned as he thought about the direction of his bloodline.
As long as he updates his previous abilities, which involve will-tempering and strength increase, the bloodline should be enough to take him to the peak of the Elder Fiendgod Realm. 'But is this all a Fiendgod Bloodline can do? I would be disappointed if it were.'
Wang Wei shook his head; it was not time to be thinking about these things. He knew the sect had Fiendgod Blood in reserve, so he'll know the answer once he's home. 'Next, let's check my [Existence].'
He closed his eyes and reached the fundamental blueprint of his existence. Wang Wei focused on the Fate Seed aspect. The entire thing was not completely removed; after all, this was something that Grand Dao planted on him probably during his birth/creation on Earth, so he did not expect to remove all of it when he was just a small and weak Paragon.
Regardless, this tribulation allowed him to take a major step toward his freedom. The fact that he could break such a good portion while in the Paragon Realm meant subsequent removal would become a thousand times easier, and not just because his cultivation would be higher.
'The question is: what immediate effect will this thing have on me?' Wang Wei thought as he sensed the changes to his existence due to the Fate Seed Status. 'My affinity with Fate Dao has decreased by at least 15%.' Wang Wei could say few people were as compatible with their Daos as him; he even created countless physiques and fused them to ensure maximum affinity. But now, this was no longer the case.
'That's not an issue,' Wang Wei thought calmly. A maximum with a Dao has its perks but also its downfall, primarily that his affinity with other Daos was reduced. 'The previous maximum affinity meant I had a lower affinity with Daos involving Free Will, Independence, or Choice. Now that it's no longer the case, I can make better improvements to my Freedom Dao.'
Wang Wei hasn't used his Freedom Dao much in combat since he took it from Zhen Chao, but this situation could be the start. 'Let's see, what else.' He observed and sensed the changes in his existence. 'My destiny is no longer full of ups and downs,' Wang Wei thought excitedly.
Trouble was drawn to him harder than magnets, and he had deduced two primary reasons that were interconnected. Fate wanted to mold him into the perfect inheritor to take the Fate Cardinal's place, so it threw challenge after challenge at him as a training method. Meanwhile, his future self was doing the same to ensure he grew up to be that version of the future and escape all the shackles on him.
'It's good that my life will have less trouble following it,' Wang Wei mused. 'But something still bothers me: why does my future-self care so much about the past? Shouldn't someone in his life have already transcended the shackles of time and space?'
If someone has transcended time, then two things should become true. First, their past is locked, and no one can change or affect it. Second — which is the most likely scenario — their past is irrelevant to them. They are beings whose past, present, or future events cannot influence them.
So, even if someone traveled to the past and killed young Wang Wei, future Wang Wei would be completely fine and not affected in any manner.
'Could there be some rules in this Chaos Universe that limit Transcendent on that level? Or is something like people on the same level can influence each other's past?' Wang Wei frowned. These explanations made sense logically, but his intuition told him some unknown shenanigans he was unaware of were happening.
'I should put this on the list of things to investigate,' he concluded before opening his eyes. Now that he knew his life would be more peaceful, he was more confident in his plan to be more low-key and move from the shadows.
'It's also about time I dealt with that thing,' Wang Wei thought as he sensed the countless memories sealed in his mind, along with the horrifying amount of negative karma. Unfortunately, this task required time, so he'd have to wait until the lock was gone and he had more opportunities for leisure activities.
"Alright, hunting time," Wang Wei said as he stood up, ready to repay his debt. However, he suddenly sensed something and waved his hand to manifest three crowns. Then, these symbols of powers trembled before condensing the projection of an elegant and dignified figure.
"Interesting. Using your Human and Heavenly Emperor Position to communicate with me secretly — that's quite ingenious."
"These damn Qin people are stuck to me like leeches," Hong Wa cursed. She had a simple black robe on with dragon designs on her cuffs. Her attire was nothing compared to her former majestic emperor robes, but her demeanor still remained majestic.
"I had to find a way to contact you in secret."
"Well, adversity and stress is a good way to force creativity," Wang Wei commented. Cultivators are a group of people that are most dangerous when they are desperate. "I'm guessing you're here for your rescue."
"That's right," Hong Wa nodded. "You're the only person who can help me."
"Hmm," Wang Wei pondered. "When I negotiated with the Qin Court, they were very confident you could not escape their grace. These people know my strength and what I'm capable of, but yet, they did not seem to fear that I would kill all your guards and take you away. What is the source of their confidence?"
"They probably did something to me."
'Oh?"
"Not long ago, they knocked me out, but when I woke up, I couldn't detect anything wrong with my body or soul," Hong Wa explained with gritted teeth.
"I see. In that case, let's check your body," Wang Wei nodded as he pointed his finger to her forehead. He found the karma thread between the projection and the real body and used it to spy on the real Hong Wa.
"You're right; they did leave something in you."
"What did they do?" she immediately asked.
"It's both a tracking mark and a potent Void Breaking Talisman that could probably ignore 99.999% of spatial restrictions in the world," Wang Wei said, and the only reason he did not say 100% was because he did not like to deal in absolutes.
"Can you take it out?" Hong Wa asked, almost pleading.
"The bad news is probably not," Wang Wei said seriously.
"What?"
"This mark is placed on your [Existence], and more importantly, it involves the power of transcendence?"
"Transcendence?" Hong Wa asked in confusion. "The two suns?"
"Exactly." Her face instantly paled. However, she immediately took a deep breath to calm down. "You said bad news. Implying there is some good news."
Wang Wei secretly praised her for regaining her composure so soon. "Yes, there is some good news. The people who put the mark were essentially controlling a power beyond their means or understanding, leaving many flaws that can be exploited."
Hong Wa frowned: "I'm confused. Can you or can you not save me?"
"I can't save you," Wang Wei shook his head. He could barely control his [Existence], let alone others. There was a reason he had to allow the tribulation to completely wipe out his body and soul so that he could revert to that scroll state and control his [Existence]. And honestly speaking, if not for his experience during the Perfect Foundation Establishment, his plan would not have worked.
Hong Wa was about to be disappointed when he heard Wang Wei's following words. "I can't help you, but you can help yourself."
"How?" she immediately asked.
"Here is what you can do," Wang Wei uttered before explaining his plan.
"Isn't this too dangerous?" Hong Wa hesitated.
"Your situation requires this level of risk."
"Fine, I'll do it."
"I thought you would think about it more," Wang Wei replied, not hiding his surprise.
"I can't stay in that damn place anymore," Hong Wa said with gritted teeth.
