The cardinals soon appeared in the meeting room, looking at the person who called this meeting.

"Time? What is it this time?" asked Fate, not hiding the worry in his face.

"The timeline has changed again," replied the feline creature somberly. As a person in control of the River of Time, he did not like how often the river fluctuated or drastically changed.

"How great of a change for you to call an official meeting?" asked Chaos. As the person least affected by the current catastrophe, she could always remain calm and composed.

"Something called the Great Darkness has appeared," explained the cat, "And its power is enough to affect the balance of the universe."

"Darkness? Wait, you don't mean?" asked Fate with an ugly expression.

"It's most likely her."

"Wasn't she just a vase? At best, she was a decent military strategist," asked Samsara.

"Yes, he protected her to a fault, fearing we would use his family against him," nodded Heaven. "Now, you're telling me she could affect our fight? How is that possible?"

They had an answer as soon as the question was asked-the timeline was changed.

"He grows more powerful daily while acquiring new allies," summarized Source Qi. "We might have to admit an uncomfortable truth-we are probably not his main opponent."

"Are you suggesting we are nothing but cannon fodder?" asked the Magistrate of Heaven with red eyes.

"No, not cannon fodder, but no kings as well - only generals."

Some people grunted while others remained silent. They have towered over all sentient beings and existence for so long, how could they accept such a fact?

"There is no need to let our pride influence us,"

said Samsara. "We know the timeline can be changed, so as long as we stop him at the correct time, we will be the final victor and restore the previous status quo."

"She's correct," added Time, looking at everybody with his cat eyes that made him more profound.

"This Great Darkness is not a fixed point in time, and its very existence is unstable, meaning we can prevent it from appearing."

Everybody's eyes concentrated:

"So, we should expect a fight with him very soon?"

muttered Heaven. They knew he would never allow them to prevent this Great Darkness from happening.

"Very good."

"What happened? Did they take the bait?"

"No, but soon," replied the clone.

"Then, what's the matter with the ruckus?"

"The first Innate Lifeforms have been nurtured,"

he replied succinctly before waving his hand to show a projection of six different places. Wang Wei immediately identified three famous creatures: Ancestral Dragon, Empress Phoenix, and Origin Qilin. The other creatures were humanoid species who could be described as titans.

Wang Wei grunted after seeing these six.

"This is not good news for us," commented the clone, and he had to agree. These six creatures were the leaders of the Innate Demon Gods that were returning to the world. He could tell each was a 4-Star Primarch, but their potential allowed them to cultivate to 6-Star, an equivalent of an Eternal Powerhouse.

However, the balance mechanism had just given them some breathing room, and it would aggravate the situation if the Myriad Emperor World suddenly had six new Eternal Powerhouses.

"It's best to seal them and delay their growth and return," suggested the clone. The revival of the Innate Demon God was a major issue that could even influence the upper dimension. However, it was indeed an inappropriate time for them to show up, even if only six of them.

"However, if I take action, it will alert the people who took the bait."

"I'll send an order to the others to take action,"

said Wang Wei calmly. The fact these people did not do anything stupid showed they still respected his reign, so it was no problem to mobilize them. With a wave of his hand, talismans flew to different corners of the world.

A few seconds afterward, powerful auras appeared above the sky. With the exception of Xu Shi, who a First-Class Insurgent replaced, everybody showed up-including the two from the Sea Race.

Without saying much, they rushed to the designated area and sealed the nurturing place of these new Innate Demon Gods. Afterward, they returned to their cultivation as if nothing had happened. Even Huo Fenghuang and Ao Shen acted similarly despite being greedy for these creatures' bloodlines.

The panicked people received no information or announcement, putting many people on edge.

"Go placate Primordial Desolate," said Wang Wei.

"He should be on edge ever since he heard the news about my injury, and with our actions, we don't want him to act out."

"Alright."

Wang Wei wanted to return to his retreat, but the former Insurgent who replaced Xu Shi came to see him. His purpose was simple: to apologize that the Headmistress could not appear since she was in deep seclusion. Wang Wei was understanding and would not fault him or the Academy for such a minor thing. A few minutes later, the clone returned and told him he made a wise move since the Primordial God was indeed on the edge after seeing his kind being sealed.

Twenty more years passed, and the palpitating tension surrounding the world increased daily.

The world's upper echelon deemed such tension a good thing, so they remained silent and encouraged it, forcing their disciples or underlings to train even harder.

Then, when everybody thought the situation was about to explode, a sound echoed throughout the entire world. It only took a moment, but people soon identified it as guqin and immediately searched for its source or origin.

Finally, all eyes rested on the Academy.
