Only a few factions did not react to Wang Wei's news. The first ones decided to continue to focus on the demon race. To them, Wang Wei's bold words are something for the future, so they did not want to abandon the current benefit. Sadly, without having an overwhelming number of allies, these people were powerless to deal with Sword One and the demon race's blockade.
The other two factions not affected by this news were the Dao Opening Sect and the Di Clan. The Dao Opening Sect has long been prepared for this news; they were even aware that Wang Wei would use this occasion to announce the news to the world so people would prepare beforehand.
Of course, they also had a task–to monitor the Ancient Clan and ensure they did not use knowledge about the Ancient System to gather more resources and allies.
Meanwhile, the Di Clan did not react much because they believed their Patriarch would be the final winner. Regardless, they also felt Wang Wei's idea was extraordinary and pondered the possibility of them adapting it.
If it were before, the Di Clan knew they would have no chance, given their patriarch's personality. Luckily, the latter seemed interested in amassing a large amount of merit recently, so he might be convinced.
Under this assumption, they begin to prepare for the future.
Moon, Ancient Clan, Huo Clan:
"Are you positive this is the right way?" asked Huo Fenghuang's father.
"Yes. One of these two will become an Eternal Emperor–even Eternal Supremes. If our clan wants to survive or take advantage of this new era, we must have the power to rival them. At the very least, have some deterrent.
"Furthermore, although Ao Shen has a tiny chance of success, if he does, he might hold a grudge and attack me."
Her father, "Becoming a 6-Star Primarch has many benefits–including suppressing many of these restless individuals in the council. Then, there is the appearance of Sword One with Eternal Strength."
He paused before sighing, "However, I truly wish you could become an Eternal Emperor."
Although the Ancient Clans worshipped bloodlines, they were not like the Divine Dao League, who relied on their bloodline to the point of becoming useless.
All individuals of the Ancient Clan are taught that bloodline is only an auxiliary aid, and they must rely on themselves and forge their own path or Dao.
Furthermore, they also know for a fact the Emperor Path is supreme, so Huo Fenghuang's father wishes his daughter to become an Eternal Emperor.
Huo Fenghuang sighed out loud, "We have no choice. I might find a way in the future, but now, it's the best option."
"You don't have to worry," said a voice that suddenly emanated from the void. Huo Fenghuang immediately stood up, looking around while on guard. Then, she saw an elderly woman with a hunchback and a blue flame mark on her forehead walking in the head.
"Ancestor," she saluted.
"As long as you become a 6-Star Primarch, everything will be alright, and you'll have a chance in the future," said the elderly woman.
"What do you mean?"
"Back in the middle of the war, the Innate Demon Gods discovered the superiority of the Emperor Path and created ways to change paths. However, there are rules and restrictions."
The elderly woman paused, her eyes blurred as if lost in her memories.
"A 5-Star Primarch can become a First Class Emperor, 4 Star becomes Second Class, and so on. However, one and 2-Star Primarchs cannot become Emperors unless they used a method similar to Dao Cutting."
Huo Fenghuang understood these restrictions. 1-star and 2-star Primarchs correspond to Immortal Venerable and Dao Ancestors, so it made sense they would be restricted.
"Are you saying as long I become a 6-Star Primarch, I can turn into an Eternal Emperor after acquiring a Heaven Will?"
"No," said the woman, shaking her head. "You will have a chance to become Eternal Emperor. From what I know, a few people failed this method and became Pseudo Eternals."
"As long there is hope," she replied with a smile and burden-free temperament. "The only issue is how to get a Heaven Will. Do I have to ascend?"
After Gu Xuan's Deception Trial, Huo Fenghuang tried to learn as much as possible about the upper dimension. As such, she knew many secrets.
"There is no need for you to ascend–we will use merit."
