Chapter 1375 Loneliness

chapter 1375 loneliness

over fifty years have passed since the last battle between undead phoenix and five feathers. for mortals, fifty years equals three generations, but for cultivators, this time is not as long as most of their retreat. typically, the cultivation world operates slowly due to all the immortals and how differently they perceive time.

however, many things have changed in the eternal ascension world in the past fifty years. many people now understand that the next yuan epoch will reveal this world's fate, and the past fifty years have already shown signs of this.

wang wei sat alone in his dimension, reading about reports. most of them are about cultivators about to reach the end of their lifespan and becoming more extreme. instead of focusing on cultivating his technique to a higher level, these people opted for the easy road: killing mortals. of course, the result was their extermination and the endless torture of their souls.

over the years, many ancient lineages, including most of the overlords, have become more active in this catastrophe. as such, wang wei had plenty of aid and support. these lineages knew what was at stake and wanted to protect themselves and their ancestors.

'i'm surprised,' wang wei thought as he looked at one piece of information. 'the great qin dynasty's enthusiasm was not as high as i anticipated.' according to reports, the qin dynasty did help, but their attitude did not seem anxious or worried about the future.

'are they doing the bare minimum to keep their titles?' wang wei analyzed. 'that also means they know it's possible to have 2 human emperors, and ying zheng doesn't care about someone else getting it. hmmm, things are getting interesting.'

wang wei did not focus too much on the qin dynasty since he will still have the advantage in whatever future negotiations they will have. ying zheng needed him, not the other way around. he then shifted his focus to something more important — supreme unity.

'he's been too quiet,' wang wei complained. 'that could be a good sign that his ability to interfere has decreased, but i don't buy it.' the last time the latter was so quiet, he showed up with one devastating move.

'maitreya, i don't want to blame you, but you can't allow his next move to be as big as the last time,' wang wei prayed. he did not like this feeling of entirely relying on someone else, of having no strength or ability to control his fate, but he had no choice in the current situation.

wang wei dealt with all the things he needed to, so he started thinking about his next move. he toyed with the idea of being more active. he could draw supreme unity out if he made enough noise.

'but what big noise can i make?' wang wei analyzed. 'killing one of these parasites is enough, but such an act has pros and cons.' wang wei knew heavenly dao was helping him share the pressure by allowing others to take on the burden of the parasites, so if wang wei started to show up and intervene again, the target on his back would increase.

"lord, you're here." jia ping teleported before wang wei's projection and saluted.

"you know the protocols, so get to the point," wang wei said. according to the current protocols for contacting his subordinate, conversation must be quick and direct, meaning wasting time in small chat was no longer allowed.

"i understand," jia ping replied. "i have two things to report, one about this world's development, and the other is personal and can wait."

"alright, lead the way." the two flew to a secret laboratory, and wang wei saw the young du cong. mortals in the upper dimension have a lifespan between 500 and 1000 years, so it was expected that du cong still looked young.

"sir," du cong swiftly said before bowing deeply, shocking all the weapon refiners in this lab. they did not expect their influential and majestic leaders to bow to someone else. jia ping has done an excellent job at preserving du cong's majesty and never allowed the latter to bow to him publicly, hence the reaction of these mortals.

these people immediately became curious and looked at wang wei — they were more shocked. their world worshipped one entity — the guardian deity, and this man looked exactly like him.

"you did a good job, du cong," wang wei praised as he looked at him.

"thank you. it's all thanks to your effort."

"i only lay down the foundation. all the current success is the hard work of you and your people," wang wei said. he raised his hand to stop du cong's flattery and continued: "you should understand the future awaiting you. your current peace is an illusion."

"lord, don't worry, i know what is at stake," du cong replied. he knew the future of their world and civilization was endless war. they could not hide in this place and wait until the catastrophe outside passed.

"good," wang wei nodded. although he sent jia ping to protect these people, it was also a way to monitor them. wang wei did not want the sweet taste of peace to corrode these people and have them abandon their mission.

"now, show me what made you so excited."
