Chapter 481 Sudden Complications
Chapter 481 Sudden Complications
Before contacting that single soul, Wang Wei divided to make things a little more official and grander. So, he used his Spiritual Power to create an imaginary space.
He created a table with many seats in the space with him at the head. The background was dark and dim, with rivers floating on top. He recreated the River of Time, the River of Fate, and a River of Stars.
No matter their background, anyone who came to this place would be slightly surprised at the scale. Although these rivers were nothing but projections, with Wang Wei's understanding of these concepts, some people could learn a great deal from them–especially the River of Fate.
However, after creating everything, he realized it was too grand for the occasion since he would only meet one Saint Realm Cultivator. So, he reserved the [Soul Conference Palace] before creating another scene.
He first created a palace with immortal lights emanating from it, along with Dao Rhymes and sounds that not only made people awe with their beauty but could also help wash the mind and help people with their enlightenment.
In the end, he also did not use this design; he decided to use that one to fool some Sons of Destiny in the future. Finally, he controlled his cells to turn into an old geezer with white hair and beard, eyes brighter than the light at the beginning of the universe, and a kind face that elicits trust from anyone who sees it.
He created a tiny cottage behind him as he sat cross-legged on a cushion while another manifested in front of him. Then, he used his Soul Network to summon the poor soul from another world.
As he closed his eyes to die, Lu Ren found himself sitting in front of an older man with a sage-like appearance and eyes as bright as a child.
"Where am I? Is this Samsara?"
"You are not dead, at least not yet."
Lu Ren read the words that appeared in front of him. Although he could not recognize the characters, somehow, he understood their meaning after reading them.p????-?0???.???
Lu Ren concentrated before observing the person next to him. With his strength and cultivation level, he could not detect anything from this gentleman, not his aura, cultivation, soul fluctuation, or energy.
It was like a mortal stood in front of him; no, a mortal would not look so ordinary to the point that it is abnormal.
"Sir, thank you for saving me. How may I address you."
"You are not saved as I just summoned your soul to this place. As for how to address me? Names hold no meaning to someone like me, so call me whatever you please.
"Alright, no more wasting time. Tell me in detail how you ended up in your current state?"
Lu Ren was confused by this request but did not overthink it; he figured some mighty might want to save people who suffer in their lives or just want to take pleasure in it. No matter what, this was his only chance at survival.
So, he told Wang Wei everything that had happened to him since the beginning of his cultivation journey. And the story was the typical cliche of envy and betrayal.
Lu Ren grew up with one of his closest friends in a small village. Then one day, a powerful cultivator passed by and detected that he had an excellent talent for cultivation. So, the elder wanted to take him back to the sect.
Lu Ren then asked if his friends, whom he treated as a brother, could come. Although the latter's talent was mediocre, the elder accepted his condition.
Then, as Lu Ren grew more powerful and successful, his friends became jealous of him while also developing an inferiority complex. Even though Lu Ren provided him with many resources, with his state of mind, his cultivation progress was meager. p???? ?0???
Despite how he felt, Lu Ren's friends never did anything against him, even though many people tried to use him against his sword brother. However, everything changed when a woman came into the pictures.
The woman saved Lu Ren's friends during a Secret Realm Trial; she only did it because she was a kind soul, but that single act of her doomed Lu Ren.
As expected, she eventually met and fell in love with Lu Ren, not his brother, who had become madly in love with her to the point of obsession. So, this was the last act that broke the camel's back.
Not long ago, Lu Ren's brother tricked him into one of the world's Danger Zones, almost killing him. Lu Ren only lasted a few days out of sheer Willpower and hatred.
Wang Wei thoughts about many things after hearing Lu Ren's story; first, he detected the Laws of Gravity in this man's soul. From what he knows, Gravity is not one of the Outlaws Dao.
So, he concluded that each world has slightly different Daos that are considered Outlaws except for the 5 Supreme Ones and a few others like Time. And maybe in some worlds in different World Communities, even the Dao of Time is not considered an Outlaw Dao, albeit this possibility is very low.
He also learned another method to pass the trial: contacting an unknown and extremely powerful being and having them secretly intervene. In Lu Ren's case, as long as Wang Wei helped him survive the Danger Zone, he will pass the Outlaw Trial.
Wang Wei learned some secrets from the Incense Era from Feng Heng and Wu Hong. He knew that so many objects related to Buddhism survived the Absolute Beginning Emperor's magic because of a ceremony that contacted a being known as Maitreya Mother Buddha.
Wang Wei even suspected that she was the one who wanted to sow Karma with him through the [Future Buddha Scroll]. So, if he wanted to, he could contact her to intervene in his trial; with their already existing Karma, it should be possible.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he decided otherwise. According to his theory, this Matreya Mother Buddha is at least an Empyrean if not a Paragon.
As such, nothing good would come from a mortal like him having deep Karmic connections with such powerful beings. Although he did not know whether his plan would work, it was better to rely on himself than on others.
So, now the question is whether to save this Lu Ren or not. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to help, so he wrote in the air.
"Mortal, I can save you, but you must become my ambassador in your world."
Lu Ren immediately became excited but quickly controlled himself: "What is ambassador, and what do I need to do?"
However, Wang Wei just calmly looked at him without saying a word. So, Lu Ren gritted his teeth after a few seconds and accepted the proposal. Wang Wei waved his hand to condense a gray ball that fused with Lu Ren's soul.
Immediately afterward, his pale and transparent Primordial Spirit returned to normal as it was his body. Moreover, Lu Ren could feel that it was purified, thus making him stronger and even increasing his comprehension.
Wang Wei waved his hand, and a jade talisman appeared in his hand before handing it to Lu Ren. After the latter refined it, his eyes lit up as he knew it was a Void Breaking Talisman at a level he saw.
'With this, I can easily break free from the Danger Zone. Lin Ye, you wait for me; I will make you pay.'
Lu Ren bowed deeply to Wang Wei before returning to his body. Meanwhile, through the connection, Wang Wei watched how the latter escaped the Danger Zone.
p????-?0??? And the exact moment he did, his cut-off Fate Line connected, and his fate changed. Immediately, Wang Wei could feel that his understanding of fate increased slightly.
'Alright, time for my plan. Should I use a Greater Thousand World or a Middle Thousand World?'
A Greater Thousand World has a higher population, so the development of science and technology would be faster, thus saving him time. However, because of the cultivation ceiling, there are bound to be more variables.
With his strength, as long as he acted fast enough, he could swiftly conquer the world. However, Heavenly Dao in that world might also act speedily and create a World Lord. Or, some Dao Ancestor who previously was a World Lord might be secretly hiding in whatever world he chooses.
'Too many unknown variables and possibilities. So, let's choose a relatively large Middle Thousand World.'
He activated the Soul Network to find many worlds and filtered them to focus on souls in only Middle Thousand Worlds. Finally, he divined the largest and safest ones.
Wang Wei did not immediately go there. Instead, he refined a space treasure to place the Heaven Hiding Array inside so it was still effective while moving around. Finally, he activated the [Unseen Cube] to its full power before heading to his destination.
After flying out of the Myriad Emperor World, Wang Wei felt the power of Law inside his body was drastically decreased; he knew it was because he left the world, and this problem would only be dealt with temporarily in the Saint Realm and entirely in the Supreme Realm.
He turned into a grey rainbow to fly at maximum speed to his destination. He realized he had to understand Space Laws to travel to that world instantly. Setting up a Transplanar Transmission Array would take too much time and resources, and he did not want to go home to use the one there, just in case.
As he flew to his destination at hundreds of thousands of times the speed of light, numerous portals will also appear in front of him to teleport him at large distances. So, in less than five hours, he arrived at his destination.
As he looked at the barrier that protected this world, Wang Wei sealed his power before entering; he did not want to alert Heavenly Dao. Nevertheless, he still needed time to adjust the Laws inside his body. So, he created a hole in a mountain and spent the next week comprehending the Laws of Fate of this world and modifying his laws.
As a Middle Thousand Worlds, most of the Laws were incomplete, so the process did not take that long. So, after adjusting, Wang Wei acted.
He appeared in the sky before waving his hand. Large magic circles appeared to surround the entire world. All the people–mortals or cultivators–raised their heads in shock and fear; they all knew something big was about to happen, and they were right.
The few Primordial Spirit Realms cultivators felt the effect first. The Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth suddenly decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye. In just a few minutes, the entire world did not have Spiritual Qi as Wang Wei sealed and controlled it.
Then, with another wave of his hand, all the cultivators in the Divine Sea and above disappeared before reappearing inside his space ring, leaving only the mortals.
Finally, Wang Wei summoned the River of Fate of this world and used it to modify the entire world. He controlled the Fate of the World to change it into a world more suitable for science and technology.
To be precise, he seemed to be adding a brand new law to this world; the process was more complicated than Wang Wei expected as he only had the memories from his past life to go on, and they were not enough.
Then, something unexpected occurred. The entire world suddenly turned gray as everyone froze in time. A gigantic eye suddenly appeared from the River of Fate and locked straight at Wang Wei.
His intuition suddenly went awry as it alerted him of his upcoming doom. And as Wang Wei gazed at that cold and indifferent gaze, he understood how insignificant his strength was in the scope of true power.
