'Maybe Xun Junyao's future self intervened,' Wang Wei thought. This was not out of the realm of impossible. She was a Transcendent Seed, so at a minimum, she has a high chance of reaching the same level as Maitreya and Supreme Unity. These two should have transcended the shackles of the River of Time, meaning they can influence the past; it's only a matter of how much they can influence before facing a backlash.
'Her future self might have decided that I was not worth the headaches and chose to end this ill-fated companionship,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'However, I'm not satisfied with this answer.' Wang Wei was not underestimating Xun Junyao or looking down on her. His intuition told him he had not found the crux of the issue.
Wang Wei raised his eyebrow. He deduced countless possibilities, but none gave him an answer, and he was satisfied. 'My problem is that I don't know much about Xun Junyao. In that case, let's use her from the alternate timeline as a reference.'
He focused on his alternate timeline's memory. Although the part in the upper dimension was vague, he had enough information to go on. So, Wang Wei asked himself: what was his relationship with Xun Junyao like in that timeline? Why did she not find them incompatible but did in this timeline?
Numerous images flashed in his mind. Although vague, they contained enough information for him to deduce and recreate a complete picture. His relationship with Xun Junyao started out of desperation. She had reached the peak of the Empyrean Realm, but she did not dare become a Paragon due to the flaw in her Dao Heart.
Additionally, despite Wu Hong's protection, Xun Junyao already sensed that many people were planning against her. So, when Wang Wei ascended, she clung to him as she thought he was the only way to save her problem and perfect her Dao Heart. However, how could that version of Wang Wei care about any woman?
All he cared about was revenge. However, Di Tian had taken a great deal of Wang Wei's luck and destiny after defeating him in the Heaven Will Battle, so the latter's strength had reached a terrifying level by the time he ascended.
Wang Wei, driven by revenge, no longer acted calmly, composed, or with his intelligence. He used the most stupid way of killing and plundering for resources to increase his strength quickly. If not for Xun Junyao's intelligence and Wu Hong's strength, the parasites or other people would have killed him long ago. He was also lucky that the foreign worlds started to invade not long after ascending, so these parasites had to head to the frontier to defend the world. During this time, Maitreya and Supreme Unity also started their battle.
Wang Wei shook his head after seeing this. 'This version of me is genuinely useless.' His current self would never crumble this easily, even if he experienced his family's annihilation. He knows how powerful and Heaven Defying powerful cultivators are, so he would dedicate himself to reaching higher levels to revive them.
As for revenge against Di Tian? There were so many other ways, mainly from the sect. That version despised, even hated, the upper dimension sect for allowing his sect's destruction. However, Wang Wei understood they could not do anything. The sect's ancestors were in limbo, meaning they could not even send a projection to help. Additionally, Maitreya and Supreme Unity still looked harmonious during that time, meaning everyone believed they were the enemies. In such a situation, it would be impossible for the ancestor to act. Wang Wei believed that even if they had some potent method to interfere with Limbo, the other people would stop them. The destruction of the lower dimension's Dao Opening Sect would severely impact the luck of the upper dimensions. With how severe the competition between the 13 Overlords was, they would not waste such an opportunity.
'The Di Clan is only a top Paragon lineage without a Primal,' Wang Wei thought. 'All that bastard had to do was to use the upper sect's guilt of being unable to help to convince them to annihilate Di Tian at all cost.
'And even if he wanted to kill the latter himself, he could have used the resources from the sect to increase his strength quickly. They would have gladly cultivated him at all costs to make up for the fact they allowed their ancestral land to be destroyed.'
Wang Wei frowned. The more he analyzed his alternate self, the more stupid he realized that bastard was. He understood being overwhelmed by vengeance, but there is such a thing as calm fury. Why must he use the riskiest and stupidest method if he wanted to be alone and plunder resources? Couldn't he have plotted the entire world from the shadows to get the resources he wanted?
'The Supreme Outlaw Trial was more beneficial to me than I thought,' Wang Wei concluded. The trial forced him to master his emotions, understand his true self, control his weaknesses, and change his way of thinking and acting.
