Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1231

Chapter 1231 The Deployment Plan

'Could this place be, as the rumors said, under the influence of Heavenly Dao, which may thus affect even Half-Step Transcendent?' Wang Wei did not like this line of thought since that would indicate that Heavenly Dao was a much more powerful transcendent than Supreme Unity and Maitreya. However, if that were the case, how could it allow Supreme Unity to take its power?

'Unless achieving Half-Step Transcendence was a standard method allowed by Grand Dao, thus granting sentient beings a chance at controlling Heavenly Dao,' Wang Wei analyzed. He grunted softly, still not liking this explanation.

'Another possibility is that Heavenly Dao used Grand Dao's power to create the Lawless Zone, which is why its effect may still apply to these beings. However, why would it have to do so? Balancing the distribution of resources in the world is not a good enough reason to involve Grand Dao. So, is there a deeper secret about this place, or is my theory completely wrong?'

Wang Wei wanted answers, but he also realized that thinking alone would not help. Once he's done conquering this place, he might have to take some time and investigate its secret.

"I have one more thing to ask you about," Wang Wei asked.

"I'm listening," Mongke nodded.

"Do you know whether the Barbarian Race has an unknown origin?"

Mongke stopped drinking and looked at him.

"What is it? Did I mention a sensitive topic?"

"Kind of," Mongke replied before finishing his wine bowl. "We suffer much discrimination because of our culture and language, especially in the early days of our history. Yet, Buddhism is perfectly fine despite also being an anomaly."

Wang Wei understood what he meant. Buddhism's name and culture still retain aspects of their origin in India, meaning they are also an anomaly in the universe. However, they are widely accepted and even worshiped across the Chaos Universe.

"Your race should have been curious about your origin. Didn't you try to explore it?" Wang Wei asked.

"We did," Mongke replied. The result was that we were born in the Eternal Ascension World, just like everyone else, and our culture diverged from others at a certain point in our early history."

"Meaning there was no anomaly from your development? You just naturally evolved such a culture?"

"Correct," Mongke nodded.

"Another possibility is a higher power influenced you without even noticing it," Wang Wei nodded, and Mongke gave him a praising look.

"We deduce the same thing after realizing that most of our brethren from other Source Chaos Worlds evolved in the same way; they developed the same culture with minor changes in languages and so on."

Wang Wei pondered about the situation. He was intrigued by Buddhism and the Barbarian Race's origin, believing them to have some connection with the Prehistoric World in one form or another. He also thinks Grand Dao is involved in this, and probably the cause of the uniqueness of these two groups.

"Well, thank you for answering my questions." Wang Wei knew he wouldn't get an answer about these things until he was a Half-Step Transcendent. By then, it might not even be difficult as asking Hongjun directly might get him answers. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

"It's fine, but can I ask you a question," Mongke nodded.

"By all means."

"Why is your Battle IQ so high?" Mongke asked. "The way you fight is not the result of talent alone. It's more like you've experienced trillions of battles, but from what I can detect, you're a very young Empyrean — maybe too young. So, how is that possible?"

"Quite observant," Wang Wei praised as he raised his hand to condense a talisman. "Consider a meeting gift."

"Dream Combat?" Mongke uttered after detecting the information inside. He closed his eyes before opening them five minutes later. The big man did not hide his excitement. "Thank you," he said sincerely. He could not fight and learn at all times, even when awake or doing menial tasks—there was no greater gift for someone like him.

"No problem."

"I did not expect someone else to love battle as much as I do," Mongke added. Such a brilliant technique—why didn't I think of it before?"

"I wasn't the sole creator, but we indeed enjoy the art of combat, but I doubt as devoted as you."
