YM778.TV Chapter 685 Deal After Deal
"Do you know more information?"
"Unfortunately, no," replied Xu Shi. "My foundation is pretty shallow in the Martial Hegemony World. So, I did not hear any more news from the Endless Void."
"I see. Well, thank you for the information," stated Wang Wei as he stood up. He then cupped his hand and saluted her. "It\'s a pleasure working with you. Hope we can have a lasting friendship."
"The same," replied Xu Shi as she saluted back.
"Good luck in your battle."
"I think you\'re going to need it more than me," she replied with an angelic smile before disappearing into the horizon.
"I hope this girl finds her happiness," muttered Wang Wei with a smile. "Now, what should I do."
Regarding the current situation, he could guess that the Martial Hegemony World was not the only place tricked into teleporting to this place. The secret mastermind probably used this tactic to hide their track.
Of all the world communities coming here, any one of them could be the mastermind.
\'The more pressing matter is that mysterious power capable of annihilating a Heavenly Dao on par with an Eternal Emperor.\'
Wang Wei took out the Heavenly Dao aura and observed it.
\'Let\'s get some benefit first.\' He contacted Li Jun and Yan Liling, tasking them to search for the truth. Meanwhile, he prepared to use this aura to gain some understanding into the working of Heavenly Dao and see if he could use this opportunity to become enlightened and create his Heavenly Dao Control Level of his Force Control SKill–or, at the very least, gets a peep into that level.
Wang Wei waved his hand to set up many powerful formations around the mountain; he did not want these foreign pests to bother him. So, if they could not even deal with his formations, they were not with him dealing with them.
Regrettably, before he could enter his seclusion, he received an emergency call from Heavenly Dao.
\'What is it this time?\' He closed his eyes and contacted it for a second time.
[I need your help]
"What is it this time?"
[I\'m aware of the current situation of the cleanup, and I want you to help the Heaven Chosens.]
"You want me to protect my competitors? The people who will do anything to kill me during the final battle?" Wang Wei was genuinely speechless. "If not for you, I would have long killed them. Why would I help them?"
[I know what I\'m asking is much, but it is the best action for the word. Many of these geniuses are potential Eternal Emperors. As long as they survive the final battle and wash their Karma through sealing, they can prove the Dao.]
"Wait, you want me to save them now but have no problem with me killing them during the Heaven Will Battle?" Every time he spoke to Heavenly Dao, Wang Wei was baffled by its mode of thinking.
[The Heaven Will Battle exists to choose the very best of a generation, so death is inevitable. However, I aim to ensure they grow to their full potential.]
"I guess that makes sense. But I still don\'t want to do it."
[You have grand plans for the world. And these people can be of great help to you.]
"That\'s true." Wang Wei always felt it was an excellent opportunity to be born into such a brilliant generation with so many talented. Regarding his plan, many of these people can be great allies, and some will be annoying pests. Furthermore, he recently felt that he needed to make as many allies as possible, as it would be crucial for him in the distant future.
"I still don\'t want to help them. If they die here, it can only be said it was their fate. If you really want to help them, go ask Di Tian. Maybe, he\'s willing to help you."
[I did, and he refused.]
\'Is that so?" replied Wang Wei with squinted eyes. He could guess Heavenly Dao did not want to rely on him entirely and even wanted some form of balance. And Di Tian was the perfect person to do so.
"Didn\'t you trade with him? Make a deal of some kind?"
[Yes, but he still refused.]
"Why don\'t you try to use his wife\'s imprints as an exchange."
Wang Wei theorized that Qiao Ning\'s existence was affected during her death–just like Lin Fan. Adding that it\'s been such a long time since her death, Di Tian did not have much time to revive her.
[...]
Wang Wei frowned before smiling, "You want to use his wife\'s imprint for a better deal. Maybe, when he proves the Dao. I guess these Heaven Chosens\' life is not as important as you say."
\'Now that I think about it, Qiao Ning died near the end of the Emperor Beginning Era. Even if she used her Willpower and obsession to become a spirit, defy death and live to this present, her imprint should not have lasted so long.\'
Wang Wei always believed Qiao Ning was a miracle that should not have existed in the world, and Wu Hong agreed with him. Nevertheless, she could not prevent her imprints from deteriorating.
\'Unless Heavenly Dao has kept it intact in case it needed it for the future. This thing is more sly than I sometimes give it credit.\'
Of course, there is the possibility this was True Heavenly Dao\'s method of both punishing Di Tian and preparing to deal with him in the future.
[I will be direct. If you save these Heaven Chosens, I will reward you handsomely.]
"Now, we are talking," nodded Wang Wei. "What is your offer?"
[A secret real that was a battle from the Null Era containing countless broken Chaos Treasures that you can use to refine your Proving Dao Artifact. Furthermore, there is the blood of numerous Innate and Primordial Gods.]
\'Now I know how my fortunate encounter will come,\' thought Wang Wei before ruminating about this deal.
"Fine, I agree." Although he could take this position to demand some outlandish things as conditions, he did not want to completely ruin his relationship with Heavenly Dao.
"But, I have a condition: I won\'t save all of them."
[Why]
"Some are too weak and only serve as cannon fodder for others in the final battle. If I let them die now, I can increase my chance of winning."
His worry has always been the mass group tactic that forced him to use his stamina, which in turn made it so that he was not in the best shape in the battle against Di Tian. Moreover, he also has to guard against the upper dimension\'s tactics. He did not think they would give up so easily especially knowing his strength.
One of the best methods for the weak to defeat the strong is to distract them with a bunch of ants before giving them a decisive blow.
On top of everything, there is the wild variable that is the Heaven-Devouring Emperor. Wang Wei would never underestimate the capabilities of a cunning and cruel Eternal Emperor.
[I accept your terms. But I have some requirements for the people you can leave to die.] Heavenly Dao then gave him detailed criteria on the strength, talent, Dao Heart, and uniqueness of the Heaven Chosens that can be saved. Anyone who falls below that level can be left to their fate.
Wang Wei opened his eyes and exhaled. He saw a token floating before him, and he knew it was the secret realm. He placed it away while muttering, "My Son Era Luck is on the uptake. I should be careful of the downward spiral."
Suddenly he sensed something and looked in the distance. He spread his Divine Sense to a specific place for over half an hour.
"Hahaha, things are truly getting interesting." A bright smile appeared on his face. "Let\'s still be weary."
He looked at the sky before pointing with his fingers. He established an enormous invisible array that covered the entire continent to save the people who needed it. Then, he waved his hand to create a River of Karma and bound it to the array.
"I will save you, but you will also owe a great Karma," said Wang Wei. Although he cannot use this karma for the final battle since Heavenly Dao would not allow it, he can still use it for the people who survive. With such a tactic, many of his plans might become easier after proving the Dao.
After doing all this, Wang Wei closed his eyes to enter his seclusion.
