Wang Wei thought that by learning of the Wood Cradle World's history and a few visits to unique timelines, he might get more clues about what's coming. The sect's library has a section dedicated to knowledge, information, and history about foreign worlds. Once he analyzed that information, Wang Wei would need to send someone to investigate or do it for himself.
"Boss Bo, come look at this," suddenly said an elderly man with a gray beard that touched the floor. However, the latter's lavish black robes and golden fan gave him a sage-like atmosphere and aura. Still, anyone with a decent sense could tell this sage-like aura was artificially created, which in fact reveals much about this person.
"What is it?" Wang Bo asked.
"The energy signature and pattern of this boat is exact, almost uniform," Li Wen explained.
"This boat's blueprint was created for mass production," Wang Bo realized with shining eyes.
"Exactly," Li Wen nodded while fanning himself.
"Mass production?" Wang Wei asked.
"The creator of the blueprint standardized the refining process to lower the difficulty and ensure as many of those boats can be created as possible," Wang Bo explained. He clicked his tongue: "In other words, there are many of these boats, probably even legions."
"Yeah," Wang Bo nodded before clicking his tongue in wonder. "This is a powerful artifact, and for someone to standardize it, I cannot fathom their level of skills."
"Time Eater used this artifact to manipulate the River of Time. Given its shape, it's fair to say its primary use is navigation; to be precise, travel through the River of Time," Wang Wei analyzed. " If the people behind him have legions, it means they can travel to any Chaos Worlds or any timelines with relative ease, making them a well-cultivated force for grand-scale invasion."
His words instantly made the room quiet. Everyone imagined how the sky turned dark as millions of these ships suddenly appeared in their world before releasing numerous powerhouses that started to slaughter and plunder.
"Is there a need for fear-mongering? After all, we don't know that for sure," someone said.
"Yes, there is no proof of any legion or invasion."
"There is proof," Wang Bo cut them. "The primary runes used for the refinement are indeed for navigation, specifically the utilization of the River of Time." Primordial Chaos is vast, and one of the reasons that only Paragons are recommended to travel is that they can bend the River of Time to teleportation, allowing them to cover the distance between worlds at a relatively fast pace. Otherwise, any Emperors or Empyreans might spend a billion yuan epoch traveling through Primordial Chaos without finding the nearest world.
"Boy, now that you know the situation, what do you need us to do?" Wang Bo asked.
"I need you to reverse-engineer this boat's design," Wang Wei replied without hesitation.
"Boy, I'll be honest with you, unless you can ask for Venerable Armament Sage or Venerable Rune Sage to study this thing, I doubt anyone else in the Chaos Universe can reverse-engineer this thing," Wang Bo said plainly, meaning Wang Wei frowned. These two held the Grand Dao Source Position for Refining and Rune Dao, and they were not even from the Eternal Ascension World. So, how could he ask them for help?
"Wait, there is someone else who might be able to do it."
"Oh?"
"Empress Wu," Wang Wei said confidently.
"Who?" Wang Bo asked.
"That little rising star?" Li Wen asked. "Has she become so awesome since I went to sleep?"
"He has a point," someone else said. "Although Empress Wu has the Grand Source Seal Position, her understanding of Runes might not be inferior to the Venerable Rune Sage."
"Those are bold words," Wang Bo said, looking at the person who spoke with intense scrutiny.
"Not really. From what I know, they met during the Second Origin War and had a discussion. There is a rumor that they had a competition, and from the way the Venerable did not like to talk about the meeting, it's implied she defeated him."
"I didn't know such a great talent had appeared in the world," Wang Bo muttered. All his life, he had one goal: the Rune Grand Source Position. Unfortunately, he failed, leaving his dream to his beloved disciple: Miscellaneous. Sadly, the latter's Dao involved the study of countless subjects, and rune was just one of them. So, Wang Bo's dream was left to his second disciple, Yan Shirong. 'I hope that little bastard is alright,' he thought. Yan Shirong had only reached the Ninth Heaven (99%) by the time the Ultimate Taboo arrived, but he insisted on participating. Wang Bo hasn't heard any news, so he's a little worried.
