1055 Seed of Distrust
Heavenly Court:
Wang Wei observed the talisman with the characters [Ancient Clan] in his hand. The Ancient Clan was not a monolith, so their Qi Luck Artifact was many and took different shapes. However, the overall condense luck of everybody manifested in the talisman in his hand.
'I thought it would be much harder for Huo Fenghuang to get her hands on this thing. It seems her control of the clan is greater than I gave her credit for,' thought Wang Wei before looking at the moon. He saw her tribulation, and it was something to scoff at. True Heavenly Dao was ruthless in the tribulation, most likely as a way to deter people from walking the path of transition. This is probably why, despite the Ancient Clan giving birth to a few four and 5-Star Primarchs, no one has actually transitioned.
Of course, this kind of tribulation is child's play compared to his Immeasurable Tribulation, but it's not something ordinary Heaven Chosen can handle.
After observing for a while, Wang Wei put away the talisman before visiting Xu Shi. After she made the court her residence, they talked often and further developed their friendship.
Innate Demon God Race Small World:
"This world is wrong," said Primordial Life, a giant woman with four spike horns and small celestial bodies orbiting around them.
"Yes, there seems to be some incongruity with our birth," agreed Primordial Death, a gendered neutral colossal being with all black eyes, no pupil, and six arms.
"Primordial Might, why don't you say anything?" the others asked, looking at another titan with significant muscle, blue skin, and four eyes.
"If you check the history of this world, you would understand why," replied Primordial Might. The others followed his lead and used their Divine Sense to scan the books of small Supreme Lands.
"So, we used to rule this land?" asked Primordial Death. The three looked at each other. They had no memories of their "ancestors" and did not inherit any of their legacies. However, the previous history has made their situation more complex to navigate.
"So, what should we do?" asked Primordial Life.
"We do not have any connections to our ancestors. Our focus should be integrating into this world," replied Primordial Might.
"Just accept things like this?" rebutted Primordial Life.
"Did you not sense that gaze after we were unsealed?" Primordial Might asked, and everyone shivered at the mention of these words. They remembered that fear and warning.
"This is not our world, and the sooner we accept this, the better chance we have at surviving and eventually thriving," warned Primordial Might. He was the embodiment of the Power Law and also the idea that Might is right. Since the human race hunted their predecessors to extinction, he believed they had the right to rule this world.
"Ok. In that case, let's discuss with the Demons to see what they think," nodded Primordial Life, so they contacted the Ancestral Dragon, Empress Phoenix, and Origin Qilin. The conversation went alright initially until Ao Shen showed up, telling them he was the ambassador of the court to introduce and initiate them into the world.
The Primordial Gods noticed Ao Shen's identity and became suspicious of his motives towards the Innate Demons. Luckily, the latter did not act rashly, and his actions showed nothing suspicious during the short meeting. However, the Primordial Gods realized their counterpart might have a direct ally in the form of the Acquired Demon Race while they had nothing. So, they prepared for the possible break.
'Ao Shen, Ao Shen, you've become too predictable,' thought Wang Wei as he watched these interactions. He knew the dragon would want allies for his demon race and counted on him to act on it. Now, the seed of suspicions has been planted on the Primordial Gods, which would lead to the separation of these two groups and eventually weaken them.
