"Indeed," the Barbarian King nodded. This feeling is still terrible." He'd only been defeated a handful of times in his life, and it was never a positive experience.

"That's true," Wang Wei nodded.

"You've tested defeat?"

"Once, well, a few times, but only once that I truly acknowledged," he nodded.

"Someone has defeated you? I would love to meet such a talent."

"Dead."

"That makes sense," the Barbarian King nodded. He took a moment to break the seal from his body as he did not like the sense of weakness he was currently feeling. "My intuition tells me you came here for a purpose, so let's talk somewhere private." He punched the air to create a space passage, and Wang Wei followed him.

They soon arrived in a lavish palace, and as soon as they landed, a beautiful woman rushed into the Barbarian King's arm.

"Mongke, are you alright?"

Wang Wei looked at this woman. She wore an elegant dress that reminded him of Mongol Royalty from Earth, especially with the over-the-top headdress. She was taller than him but still looked tiny before the Barbarian King.

'The Barbarian Race's culture and identity resembled Mongolia from Earth. Why is that? Could there be other races inspired by Eastern Asia? What is the connection with Earth? Why is Grand Dao allowing their existence but not other races from the Prehistoric World?' Wang Wei had these thoughts for a while after meeting the Barbarian Twins during Gu Xuan's trial. However, they resurfaced after today's meeting, and he hoped he could find some answers.

"I'm fine," Mongke reassured his wife. He then introduced her to Wang Wei. "This is my main wife, Dulgun."

'Main wife?' Wang Wei thought, but he did not state that out loud. He saluted: "It's a pleasure to meet you, madam."

"You have defeated my husband in combat, meaning you're our honored guest. So, the pleasure is all mine," she saluted back.

"Give us some privacy while I talk to him," Mongke said, and his wife nodded. The Barbarian King led him to a beautiful garden with a waterfall that spewed rainbow-colored water. Wang Wei's eyes lit up since this garden was even more marvelous than the one he built in his court.

"Your wife's work?" he asked.

"It looked so, doesn't it?" Mongke laughed. "But no. I built this place to reduce my bloodlust and calm my mind."

"That's a wise move," Wang Wei praised. It's one thing to love battle but another to be obsessed with it. The two sat down, and Mongke served his best wine reserved for opponents that he respects.

"What did you want to talk about? Before that, I don't even know how to address you."

"The name's Wang Wei, meaning great king."

"I'm Mongke, representing 'eternity' in our language," the Barbarian King replied.

Wang Wei nodded. "I'll be direct. Are you not completely cut off from the outside world?"

"I know what's going on."

"Then you should have heard of the Son of Era or the Destined One?"

"You don't mean?"

"That's right."

"That explains your monstrous talent," Mongke muttered. "So, you came here to hide?"

"No, the opposite. I came to conquer this place," Wang Wei admitted directly, making the Barbarian King squint. He paused briefly before saying:

"I have no issue serving under you," Mongke replied. "However, I have two conditions, one being non-negotiable."

"I'm listening."

"The non-negotiable condition is that my servitude is temporary until we end this era, and you cannot enslave my soul."

Wang Wei squinted his eyes. He mulled it over but did not immediately reject such a condition. "Can I ask why?"

"I am the hope and future of the Barbarian Race," Mongke replied succinctly.

"You're their Primal Paragon Seed?"
