Wang Wei opened his eyes and exhaled deeply. He took a moment to review the conversations he had with the three of them. He did not miss a second word, a single microexpression, or even a second body movement. Wang Wei microanalyzed every aspect of that meeting to ensure he did not miss anything.
"I need to discuss this with the wife," he muttered. He stood up while checking how much time had passed. ’Hmm? Is there less than one year until the Grand Assembly? An interesting time difference.’ His conversation with these people was not even an hour, but more than a thousand years had passed.
Wang Wei teleported outside, calculating how long he spent in retreat. He first spent 70,000 Yuan Epoch in his first retreat before meeting Maitreya. Their discussion took only 500,000 years, and Wang Wei had to retreat again. Now, he has spent another 30,000 Yuan Epoch.
’It’s not that bad,’ he thought before walking toward Wu Hong’s work room. As he approached, the twins had just left the room, running into him. Their bodies stiffened for a second before saying:
"Congratulations on your retreat, Uncle Master."
Wang Wei smiled smugly. "Thank you, and Congratulations on becoming Primals."
"Master told us you contributed to our success, so we would like to thank you," Song Jiang said. He waited for his sister to say something, but her mouth was quieter than a mouse trying to sneak food. So, he had to elbow her.
"Yes. If not for your Nurture Core, who knows how long it would have taken us to reach that level?" Song Lulu said with a forced smile.
"No need to thank me. Your accomplishments are the result of your talent, hard work, and your master’s unrelenting effort," Wang Wei said. He knew that he had mostly accelerated their progress, but most of it was due to their own effort.s
"Well, I’m sure you’re busy. I’ll go see your master," Wang Wei waved before walking inside. He saw Wu Hong surrounded by scrolls and jade talismans, reviewing papers and signing orders. He was immediately distracted by her unparalleled beauty. He was about to ask her to roleplay as a hardcore CEO with glasses, and he would be her secretary, with whom she was having an affair. However, he was immediately distracted by her aura.
"Your aura — have you completed the Thirteen Transcendent Foundation?"
Wu Hong replied without raising her head. "There wasn’t enough time, so I’ve only condensed the Spirit Seed."
Wang Wei immediately frowned: "Can you stop the process of Foundation Re-establishment?"
"With the right trick, it’s possible."
"The backlash?"
"More pain."
"Then, it wasn’t wise to risk it," Wang Wei said. He did not want her to suffer.
"The Grand Assembly is important, and I couldn’t waste time waiting for its arrival."
Wang Wei sighed. He found a seat next to her and prepared tea and snacks, waiting until she finished all her paperwork. The process took more than an hour, a sign of her workload. "Why are you so busy all of a sudden? Don’t you have a Continent Lord to do all the bureaucratic work?"
"We have entered War Mode, and I need things to be perfect," Wu Hong said as she drank her tea and snack. "Hmm, this is not bad. You made it?"
"It’s one of the recipes from the Hui Clan," Wang Wei replied. He once invested in a man named Hui Mengwei and even sent the latter to study under Chen Zhilan’s teacher.
"It’s a decent recipe," Wu Hong praised as she finished her snack. "Your aura is also different. I reckon the results of your retreat were satisfactory?"
"Oh, you have no idea," Wang Wei said before telling her everything that happened, except about his second condition. It’s not that Wang Wei did not trust her, but he did not want information to be revealed. He was more confident that the situation of the Prehistoric World was better equipped to hide the information from Grand Dao.
Wu Hong listened attentively without commenting, and when he finished, she muttered: "So, it’s true."
"What is?"
"I heard rumors that there were hidden Grand Constructs, and one of them was the Hall of Records, said to contain all the knowledge, truth, prophecies, and secrets of the world. From your story, it’s like Grand Dao used the Observer’s record to create the Grand Dao Source that contained all laws, and the Hall of Records to contain information."
