Chapter 1321 Transcendent Faction Analysis

[Unedited Chapter]

"Seven, and if you add those two, a total of nine," Wu Hong replied without hesitation.

"So much?"

"You underestimate what it means to be half the universe's destiny center," Wu Hong calmly explained. "Had we truly become the center, it would probably be enough to cultivate 33 factions, and I'm talking about factions — not individuals."

A faction can have multiple Half-Step Transcendents. For example, if Xun Junyao joins the Origin Seal Continent, they'll have at least two. Meanwhile, the Dao Opening Sect is full of talents capable of reaching that realm, and with all of Wang Wei's ideas, they have a bright future ahead.

"Nine factions," Wang Wei uttered. "Buddhism and Taoism already have a spot. Emperor Kong represents the Literary Way and the Academy." Taoism, Buddhism, and the Literary Way are the three most prominent and widespread religions/philosophy/schools of thought in the Chaos Universe, usually known as the trifecta.

"Although my ancestor went rogue, he is the main contributor to the Eternal Ascension World's destiny and prosperity. Heavenly Dao must pay that karma, so a place will go to us." Wang Wei looked at Wu Hong.

"It must give you a spot," Wang Wei continued. "You can reach that level without the help of destiny, and knowing you probably hold a grudge for what happened with the Curse Master, this might be the best way to appease you."

"That may be one of the considering factors, but not the greatest one," Wu Hong shook his head. "I'll get a spot due to the destiny of Profession Dao. Without how the Origin Seal Continent operates, it will be easier for us to train Transcendent Tier Professions."

"Indeed," Wang Wei nodded. Once Wu Hong reaches the next realm and creates [Transcendent Runes], the Origin Seal Continent will reach a, well, transcendent level among all professions.

"Don't get cocky," Wang Wei warned. "Once Yan Liling achieves Half-Step Transcendent, you'll lose your monopoly over [Transcendent Runes]."

"That girl is indeed talented, but I've never been afraid of any challenges," Wu Hong replied calmly. "Not to mention how much I'll achieve by the time she reaches our realm."

"True," Wang Wei sighed. He regretted not bringing Yan Liling and Li Jun with him to the upper dimension. He did not truly understand how terrifying a late start was in the upper dimension. Sadly, the lower dimension was blocked, so he could not even contact them and warn them to find a way to escape their sentences and ascend as soon as possible. Wang Wei shook his head to remove these thoughts from his mind.

"That's five spots, leaving four. Who else?"

"There is probably a spot for a dynasty," Wu Hong continued: "The way of Fortune Dynasty protects ordinary mortals, so Heavenly Dao might give them a spot."

"Yes, with all these transcendent beings existing in one world, it's a good idea to have one whose interest is invested in protecting the mortals," Wang Wei agreed. "So, do you think the Great Qin will have a spot?"

"He'll probably be granted an opportunity to fight for it but not granted it directly," she replied.

"Oh?"

"The Human Emperor is a great emperor, but he's not the ideal one," Wu Hong explained. "The ideal emperor is Yang Ze, the Saint Emperor of the Great Wen Divine Dynasty. He practices the way of [Holy Emperor], also called the [Compassion Emperor]."

"Saint Emperor — a ruler that is a saint to his people but a tyrant to his enemy," Wang Wei muttered. He had read about the Saint Emperor and the Great Wen Dynasty. They were part of the dynasty alliance supported by other overlords to balance the power and influence of the Great Qin Saint Court.

"Such a man is indeed the ideal candidate," Wang Wei nodded. As a Holy Emperor, it is in his best interest to ensure the safety and prosperity of mortals, which should reassure Heavenly Dao to give him a spot. No matter how weak and insignificant mortals are, they are the sources of talent for all factions. However, once these transcendent factions rise, the mortals might become endangered. The higher the cultivators, the more indifferent they are to mortals, and this situation should worsen once Half-Step Transcendence begins to show up. Not to mention how devastating the slightest confrontation between these beings will be to even Paragons, let alone mortals. As such, it's in Heavenly Dao's best interest to choose a faction dedicated to protecting them.

"Sadly, he's too weak," Wang Wei sighed. The Saint Emperor was only a peak Paragon—not a primal. Although he had an overwhelmingly positive image, deep connections, and excellent influence, this did not change the fact that he was weak.
