Supreme Unity gazed at these seven people, his eyes colder than usual. He would have lashed out at them if it were not for his lack of emotion. He did not want to make such a lost-making deal; however, Heavenly Book's offer was too enticing for him.
He sent countless clones and projections throughout Primordial Chaos, searching for a solution to his problem. However, his attempt was unsuccessful.
But now, he has a chance at success. Supreme Unity knew what it meant for him. His Half-Step Transcendence will be complete, and he will no longer be restricted.
Maitreya will no longer be an issue since he will be virtually invincible as long as he stays inside the Eternal Ascension World. Upon success, he can finally regain his seven emotions and six desires.
Well, he did not really care about his emotions. He previously cultivated the Taoist Mindset of Heaven's Indifference, granting him a similar state as now. However, he still had his feelings back then, but he controlled them to remain at a low activity state.
Of course, what Supreme Unity desires more is to continue walking the path of transcendence. After arriving at his state, he knew it was not the end; on the contrary, it was the beginning of a new journey–a grand journey unlike anything else a cultivator could fathom.
'I hope Heavenly Book can keep his words. Although I know he's plotting something, it doesn't matter to me.'
As long as he gets what he wishes for, Supreme Unity does not care about anything else. And if Heavenly Book tries to play tricks, he will hunt him down even to the end of time.
After coldly looking at these useless wastes, Supreme Unity left.
Time Eater's complexion was ugly to look at.
'Time is running out,' he thought. He understood the meaning behind Supreme Unity's eyes–they were becoming useless. And he knew how their leader dealt with useless pawns.
So, he knew if he wanted to live long, he had to hurry to accomplish his plan. Time Eater took a deep breath before looking at Purple Kunpeng, who was rushing away.
'I wonder what he was talking about with Heavenly Book.'
He squinted his eyes. He knew a secret about the rise of their 8 Moons–Heavenly Book was secretly manipulating. Because of this, he woke up and began to plan for himself.
'Heavenly Book is already a scary individual. But if it involves Supreme Unity, it's not something I can involve myself with.'
Time Eater always felt Heavenly Book would not easily allow his investment to get out of his control. And now, based on today's event, he knew he was correct. So, he now has a higher sense of urgency.
Without saying anything else, he left.
Primordial Chaos, Forbidden Land:
Heavenly Book opened his eyes, a deep frown or worry in his eyes. Although his plan succeeded, and he made a binding deal with Supreme Unity, he was not happy.
He lacked too much information about the abilities of a Half-Step Transcendence.
'If only I had a way to protect myself from Half-Step Transcendence.'
Numerous thoughts flashed in his mind, and he had a way–the Heaven Order. There is a unique token scattered throughout Primordial Chaos, and with it, anyone can participate in a test and mission.
Upon success, they can wish for anything they desire, and usually, that wish will be fulfilled.
'Unfortunately, I offended the Magistrate of Heaven.'
The person who sent the order is one of the Six Cardinals–the Magistrate of Heaven. As his name implies, he is responsible for the creation and Order of all Heavenly Dao in the Chaos Universe.
Heavenly Book offended the latter while acquiring the Source Position of Heavenly Dao. The previously owned was Heavenly Dao Paragon, and he was the Heavenly Dao of a Source Chaos World that gained sentience and began cultivating.
After meeting the latter, Heavenly Book defeated him and took the position. Subsequently, after seeing the uniqueness of Heavenly Dao Paragon, he captured the latter to study it and found some secrets.
Then, he discovered the latter was part of a unique race called the Heavenly Dao Race, and such a race was created by one of the Six Cardinals.
Heavenly Book's actions of taking the Heavenly Dao Position offended the Magistrate of Heaven, and capturing one of his creations further ruined their relationship.
Of course, Heavenly Book did not care. After all, it was the Magistrate who wanted him to give up the position and even wanted him to become his lackey. Luckily, the Six Cardinals had certain restrictions and could not intervene in the world easily.
'I can't use the Heaven Order, so I need to think of another way. However, the main issue now is dealing with that madman.'
The person with the knowledge he promised Supreme Unity is a madman, and Heavenly Book does not like to deal with such people; they are unpredictable and difficult to read or calculate–even if you consider their madness in your calculations.
In some ways, madmen are the nemesis of Dao Overlords.
'Dealing with him will take time, which may not be a good thing.'
Heavenly Book frowned.
'It would be ideal if one of these were still in their growing stage, making them easier to deal with.'
It would be easier to deal with if the protagonist were still on his rise and had not reached the Paragon Realm. Of course, Heavenly Book was confident to deal with them even after reaching the peak Paragon Realm.
'The only issue is if there is no Time Nexus until they've grown up.'
Heavenly Book sighed before proceeding; he had no choice but to spend a lot of time dealing with that madman. So, he created a clone of himself with all his powers and sent it deeper into this forbidden place.
He was cautious in case Supreme Unity decided to follow him. So, he came to the place of this madman beforehand. When playing with fire, one of the number rules is to be careful.
Eternal Ascension World, Lower Dimension, Myriad Emperor World, Heaven Will Battle, Eastern Quadrant, Desolate Planet:
'What do you mean by your words?' asked Li Jun.
'I think I was very clear.'
'No, I just want to make sure you're not having a stroke.'
Wang Wei's lips twitched. How would he have a stroke with his god-like body? Plus, even if he was, it's pointless since he can live without a heart.
'I'm serious.'
"So was I,' replied Li Jun. 'You know I made a promise to Liling I won't get with anyone anymore.'
'I can explain to her.'
'Even if you do, it won't change anything.' Li Jun frowned, 'Why do you suddenly want me to woo Cai Song? Is it related to Chen Chen?'
Wang Wei paused for a moment before telling him about Cai Song's importance.
'If she is this important, I understand why you want her to be close to us through a marriage bond. However, since you decided to trust her, do it with certainty. Otherwise, the consequence could be the same as if you had secretly controlled her.
Wang Wei knew he was correct. Anyone with decent intelligence could detect it was not normal for Li Jun to suddenly become interested in Cai Song and woo her–let alone Grand Dao.
So, it's still possible to use this knowledge to make Cai Song betray him in the future after telling her the truth.
'Sigh, I know this, but I can't help it.' He planned to wait for a few Yuan Epochs after this event before Li Jun began the courting process. As such, it was easier to hide his real intention and remove many questions or red flags.
However, he also understood it was not easy to trick a being like Grand Dao, with great intelligence and who does not see time in a linear fashion.
'Not to mention, it's very possible for her to still betray us after becoming my companion.'
Li Jun understood that even if he married Cai Song, she would never be as important to him as Yan Liling. So, the amount of love and support he will give will not be the same.
So, Grand Dao may use this fact to turn her against us.
Wang Wei was quiet as he knew this, 'Alright, I know this was a bad idea.'
'You should have a Plan B, right?'
'Yes: we will ensure she is not that unique.'
Cai Song should not be the only individual under him with Chen Chen's power; she might be the leader, but she cannot be the only one. However, this might not be as easy as stated.
Chen Chen seemed to be a unique lifeform with a talent only available to him. So, recreating or copying his ability might be impossible.
So, there are only a few options available for Wang Wei, the first one being to steal Grand Dao's version of Chen Chen. However, as a strategic weapon for this war, such an individual will be extremely valuable and protected.
'If it's impossible to copy, I can only use this as a last resort.'
