Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221 Blank Check

Wang Wei was in deep thought after returning home. He had technically written an empty check for the Celestial Race. His relationship with the Heaven Opening Emperor was not so close. He now knew the man wasn't as bad as history, or he believed him to be, but that was the extent of their relationship or communication.

His promise relied entirely on his talent/prospect (as he told the patriarch), his ancestors' words or power, and his interest in taking the Celestial Race in case the Heaven Opening Paragon proved stubborn. 'Plus, maybe I should start thinking about reuniting the Wang Clan,' Wang Wei thought. However, this would not be simple. According to the book Wu Hong left for him, the official most powerful faction during the Golden Era was the Grand Sect Alliance with 5 Primal Paragons.

These bastards would never allow for the Wang Clan reunion since that would mean the Dao Opening Sect catching up to them. Additionally, the Myriad Clan Union would lose one Primal Paragon, so they would also fight tooth and nail to prevent this union.

The other factions may also be dragged. For example, Wu Hong's Origin Seal Continent was one of the [Thirteen Overlords] and an ally of the Dao Opening Sect. Their presence — which contains 2 Primal Paragons — could shift the balance. However, the [Skill-Dao Association], another overlord with all the Profession Dao, had a rocky relationship with the Origin Seal Continent, and they might intervene to counter Wu Hong. They also have 2 Primal Paragons.

'And I'm not even considering the other factions that will secretly intervene and ensure the Dao Opening Sect does not get stronger and break the balance,' Wang Wei summarized. 'However, this is not the Golden Era — the balance is already broken, with Taoism and Buddhism now being the most powerful factions of the original [13 Overlords].'

In the upcoming era, Primal Paragons will no longer determine the standing of a faction or lineage—transcendents will.

'So, as long as I can become the third Half-Step Transcendence of the Eternal Ascension World, no one can stop the Wang Clan's reunification,' Wang Wei thought with a smile.

'Although this plan is far away, I can lay out the foundation now by establishing a good relationship with the Heaven Opening Emperor: get to know what kind of person he is.'

Wang Wei teleported to an isolated mountain and created a cave. After establishing all the necessary protections, he drew a summoning ceremony on the ground. He activated it by dropping his blood and muttering the Heaven Opening Emperor's name and title. Wang Wei had to wait a while before getting an answer, but soon enough, the summoning circle shone, and a muscular elderly man appeared at the center.

"Ancestor," Wang Wei bowed politely.

"It's you?" Wang Guo scrutinized Wang Wei. "Why are you suddenly so polite and sincere?"

"Isn't this the normal attitude of a descendant facing their ancestors?" Wang Wei replied, greatly puzzled. His tone hinted that it was the greatest travesty for his ancestors to have such a terrible opinion of him.

"The last time we met, you were polite, but that was only on the surface. You were on guard against and even had a hidden disdain," Wang Guo stated.

'These old monsters are really keen,' Wang Wei complained to himself. "You can't blame me, ancestor. I had a lot of misinformation about you. After our discussions, I researched your life more closely and learned how our family's recorded history wronged you."

Wang Guo looked him in the eyes. 'This brat wants something or is planning something — maybe both.' He smiled internally. 'He is like Qiyuan, especially with his weird destiny. Maybe it's not such a bad idea to have a relationship with him.'

"Brat, I've lived too long, and one of the side-effects is that I've grown to despise people who spoke like politicians with flower tongues, speaking in a roundabout way and never getting to the point. So, state your intention directly."

Wang Wei sighed internally. 'I guess being direct is another trait of the Wang Clan.'

"Fine, but I'd like to point out that I wasn't lying about researching your life and getting a new perspective," Wang Wei stated before explaining the entire situation with the Celestial Race. "So, Ancestor, are you going to give this descendant a little bit of face?"

"No problem."

"Really? So simple?"

"Even if you didn't say anything, we wouldn't annihilate them or something for their betrayal," Wang Guo explained.

"Why?"

"The Celestial Race is the primary reason our union has the largest number of tier 10 and 11 cultivators among all the overlords and the highest number of Insurgents. They are more valuable than they realize."

"Indeed. Their ability to safely navigate the Source Qi Space makes them crucial to building middle-level officers." Although Paragons and above are usually the determining factors in battles between lineages, when their strength is relative, the deciding factors are the number of Emperors, Empyreans, Insurgents, and immortals from the other paths.

'Another bastard that stole my idea, and this time, without me even knowing,' Wang Wei thought while sighing. 'I guess I should be glad it remains in the family.' _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}
