After mulling it over briefly, Wang Wei did not find Ao Shen's choice to be strange. Anyone with a bit of brain can see the situation of the Innate Demon Gods. In the past, they represented one of the three paths: Primordial, Emperor, and Heaven. However, during the Golden Era, it only took one group — the demon race — amongst countless acquired lifeforms to compete against them. To say that the mighty has fallen in this situation is a gross understatement.
Ao Shen is intelligent, so it makes sense that he chose the most influential group of the two. Of course, he must have other considerations. For example, he was once the leader of the demon race and held their destiny. Although he's an Innate Demon, he probably identified more with the demon race.
There are also political reasons. The Myriad Emperor World is significant in the lower dimension because they are the destiny center, meaning the demon race there is also valuable. During Wang Wei's reign, the demon race reached a level of prosperity unlike anything they've ever seen in their history; this fact also benefited the upper-dimension demon race.
Ao Shen, the former chief of the demon race, has a significant amount of luck and destiny. It would deal a major blow to the demon race if he were to join the Primarch Origin Temple. On the contrary, his joining of the demon race allowed them to steal some luck from the temple.
As for Ao Shen's identity, will it cause him trouble in the demon race? It will, but not as much as one would think. It's pretty common for Innate Demon Gods to betray their kind and join the demon race. The upper echelons greatly encouraged such behavior.
Additionally, many demon race members have innate bloodlines. It's common for them to hunt Innate Demon Gods for their bloodline. Many people don't know this, but one of the demon race's ultimate goals is to swallow the Innate Demon God; they want to take the latter's destiny and make them into a branch of the demon race.
'The Myriad Emperor World, as the lower dimension's destiny center, will often give birth to characters that will play a significant role in major events happening in the upper dimension. Could Ao Shen be one of the major players in the battle between the Demon Race and the Innate Demon Gods? Could his choice be a hint as to which side fate is favoring?'
There is a high possibility that this is true. However, Wang Wei decided to observe more and maybe plan ahead. He is interested in what will happen once the Innate Demon Gods are completely defeated and the Path of Heaven is officially the loser in the trinity competition.
'The Eternal Ascension World is the semi-destiny center of the Chaos Universe, so the defeat of the Heaven Path might be the last nail in the coffin for all Innate Demon Gods in the universe or the beginning of their hands.
Their end will also mean the final confrontation between the Emperor and Primordial Path. The Fiendgods are losing this fight, but will they allow themselves to lose like that without fighting back? I doubt that.'
Wang Wei furrowed his brow. He suddenly realized that many events that can affect the entire Chaos Universe are slowly brewing, and as expected, the storm will start from the Eternal Ascension World. frёewebnoѵēl.com
'I had a feeling that my path of transcendence would lead to the Third Origin War. Are those events the prelude to this? But if such grand events are only the prelude, what the hell will the actual war be like?' Wang Wei did not know he would achieve transcendence, but his intuition and the information he had gathered about his future self told him that it would not be a peaceful method.
'Forget it. There is no point in thinking so much. I'm just a little Empyrean.'
"Hey," said the steward. "Why are you distracted? What did I say about not looking?" Wang Wei glanced at him, and the man felt the fear of God rushed down his spine. He almost instinctively changed to his true form.
"What are you doing? This is the demon race. Watch yourself."
"Lead the way," Wang Wei said calmly. The steward felt ashamed for his previous reaction but did not dare show it again. So, he quietly led Wang Wei to an isolated mountain with a small cottage. The mountain was simple, especially compared to how lavish and grandiose the others are. Additionally, he only sensed the presence of one person.
"The sage is waiting inside."
Wang Wei did not say anything and walked inside the cottage. He saw a woman sitting cross-legged, waiting for him. She wore a simple black robe; she was devastatingly beautiful, but for some reason, no one would immediately notice her beauty, and that's because of her strange presence.
Her face was youthful, and did not look over 25 years old, but her hair was all white and gray, like an old woman's. Her aura was ancient, and her all-white eyes were so profound that even someone with Wang Wei's willpower and soul was lost in them for a few seconds.
'This woman is not simple,' Wang Wei thought. Of course, he had known this before. Anyone who can injure their [Existence] to escape persecution from the two suns is ruthless, so how could they be simple? Furthermore, she was obviously a Paragon and probably one of the best ones, but she did not participate in the Ultimate Taboo — that's another suspicious point.
"Senior," Wang Wei bowed.
The Star Sage, also called Fan Sui and with the title of All-Knowing Sage ( a title she did not like), looked at Wang Wei. "Heavenly Dao made a wise move to choose instead of Kong."
'This woman knows a lot,' Wang Wei thought. He soon realized it would be odd for her not to know much. "Thank you."
