As he closed his eyes, Wang Wei found himself in a white spirit with three items: a massive purple cloud, a golden scroll, and an orb with a small moving dragon. He looked at the cloud and smiled. As expected, his reward for this event was immense.
'There is enough for me to reach the peak of the Paragon Realm in 500,000 Yuan Epoch, and cultivate a peak soul in an additional 100,000 Yuan Epoch,' Wang Wei thought. Since he'll be using the best Time Acceleration Array, he'll only have to spend 60,000 Yuan Epoch for his soul and cultivation to reach the peak. The only trouble is that rebuilding his body will also take some time.
Wang Wei turned to look at the orb with the dragon, and immediately shook his head: "No, thank you," he refused. It was a pain to be the Chosen One in the previous era, and he had no desire to do it again for the upcoming catastrophe.
As soon as he refused, this spiritual space trembled, and someone else appeared. It was a woman with jet black long hair, dressed in all white, with her robe leaving a trail behind her because of its length. She was extremely beautiful, almost to the point of appearing fake because of how perfect her features were.
However, upon gazing at her, Wang Wei found himself incapable of thinking about her in any disrespectful or sexual manner. Her aura reminded him of the doting love of a mother, and the only thing he wanted was to rush into her embrace. The woman was the epitome of beauty, but her appearance had a major flaw: her icy and indifferent eyes.
"Heavenly Dao," Wang Wei muttered. "I didn't know you could take other physical forms than that eye."
"I figure this appearance might be more appropriate for negotiation," Heavenly Dao replied, her voice devoid of any emotions, almost mechanical.
"If you're here to convince me to bear the burden of the upcoming catastrophe, you're wasting your time," Wang Wei said.
"In my long years of existence, I've blessed many talents with grand destiny, but your family is the only one I choose three times, and each time, they've risen to the occasion, and even exceeded my expectations.
"The upcoming resetting and ascension of the world will be my most outstanding work, and I need someone reliable to ensure success. Name your price, and I will consider it as long as it's not too much."
Wang Wei was slightly surprised, not expecting such forthcoming from Heavenly Dao. However, he will not change his decision because of such temptation. The catastrophe will involve too much, and if he's too involved, he'll easily reveal the fact that he's the one responsible for the All Heaven Fate Calamity.
The catastrophe involves whether he can reach the level of Half Step Transcendent. Although he believes the catastrophe will help him, he can still walk away, and that will only delay the time needed to reach that realm. However, the All Heaven Fate Calamity involved his path of True Transcendence, so he knew which was more important.
"What if I make you the Heavenly Emperor?" Heavenly Dao asked. "You will legally be in charge of all the laws of Heaven and Earth, and blessed with immense power or authority."
"That is tempting," Wang Wei muttered, but he knew the pitfall of such a title. As a true Heavenly Emperor, he will have the legal right to rule and establish a court, but these Overlords and other lineages would never accept his reign without absolute power. They would do everything to undermine him, and the amount of time Wang Wei will have to spend playing politics to slowly build the strength of his court is a nightmare just thinking about it.
'I don't want to like the Jade Emperor in all these Prehistoric novels, with no one respecting the Heavenly Court. Plus, unlike him, I can't be running to Heavenly Dao for help like he runs to Hongjun,' Wang Wei thought.
"My answer is still the same," Wang Wei replied. "Anyway, don't you already have someone perfect for the job? Kong has been working hard and planning for this position since the trial. Since he wants the job, give it to him."
