Chapter 794 World's Reaction
"I\'m failing to see how this is a beneficial alliance," commented Huo Fenghuang. "Our Ancient Clan will gain nothing."
Their clans have been preparing for this war for many years, and Huo Fenghuang\'s words alone would not be enough to stop it–even if she became an Eternal Emperor with absolute strength.
Furthermore, she also believed this plan was a great way to revive the clan. However, she also was part of the faction that believed things needed to be done slowly and steadily, compared to the more extreme factions.
Regardless, she did not comment on Wang Wei\'s views on the Innate Demon Gods. Trillions of people were currently watching this conversation, and she did not want to reveal their clan\'s plan to wage war on the entire world.
If others knew of it, her Ancient Clan would become the world\'s public enemy.
As such, she was a little happy Wang Wei did not reveal it to the world. Otherwise, she would have to refute it with all her might and never admit it was true.
"There are plenty of ways we can benefit through an alliance," replied Wang Wei. "Exchange of ideas, resources, and mutually supporting one another. And those are the most basic ones.
"My Dao Opening Sect is the most powerful faction in the Myriad Emperor World, while your Ancient Clan has the deepest foundation.
"So, an alliance between us would benefit both parties."
Wang Wei has to admit even if his ancestor used the Ancient Clan\'s power to lay out the foundation of the Dao Opening Sect; they are still the faction with the most profound foundation.
After surviving the Null Era, no one knows the hidden card of the Ancient Clan. A perfect example would be Huo Fenghuang\'s three Eternal Emperor\'s Artifacts.
There is no proof to indicate the Ancient Clan only had those three. Before the Null Era, the world\'s resources were unlike anything the present had.
Furthermore, although the Null Era was a time of war and destruction, war was also a great time to gather or plunder resources. And given how the Innate-Acquired War reached all 3800 World Communities, the Ancient Clan would have more options to collect said resources.
After saying these words, Wang Wei waited for her answer. He could have been clearer and mentioned some of his plans to facilitate a better alliance. However, he decided this was not the best time to talk about these things–especially since the Ancient Clans could not be trusted.
\'Once my era begins, I will passively lay out the perfect foundation for the Ancient Clan to execute their plans and ambitions after I ascend. So, if they don\'t take this alliance, their fate before I leave will only be destruction or being sealed a second time,\' he pondered.
Meanwhile, Huo Fenghuang pondered momentarily, "I cannot answer you now. So, give me some time before making a decision."
Huo Fenghuang favored an alliance–even a temporary one. However, the political landscape of the Ancient Clan is exceptionally complicated, preventing her from making a decision even as the current de facto leader.
Subsequently, there were other factors to consider. Wang Wei had not won his battle yet, so Huo Fenghuang felt it was too soon to be planning the future. If it were anyone else, she would have long labeled him arrogant.
However, considering that only Di Tian is truly his adversary, she acknowledged he had the capacity to be arrogant.
Lastly, Huo Fenghuang needed to become a 6-Star Primarch after leaving the battlefield. Then, she must suppress many people before obtaining absolute power in the Clan.
"That\'s fine," replied Wang Wei with a smile; he did not expect a direct answer immediately. He was fine as long as Huo Fenghuang was willing to listen and entertain the idea.
Then, the two chatted briefly until Huo Fenghuang finished her tea. Finally, a white light enveloped her as she left the battlefield.
Wang Wei watched her leave, eyes focused on the distance. His actions of inviting Huo Fenghuang to talk had many purposes. The first one was the alliance with the Ancient Clan. As he said to her, he did not like to use violence to solve problems unless it was the only way or the most efficient way and he was in a hurry.
As such, even if he knew there was only a small chance of succeeding, he would try the other ways.
His second objective was to find some information from Huo Fenghuang regarding the Ancient Clan. During their conversation, he silently read her Fate Line and knew everything that had happened to her since her birth.
Although she had an Artifact protecting her Fate Line, it was useless given Wang Wei\'s current strength. The only information he could not find were the ones containing Emperor Tier Seals of Second Class and above.
Sadly, he discovered Huo Fenghuang was unlike him; she did not know many of the Immortal Tier secrets of the Clan Council. No, she did not even know the deep secrets of her Huo Clan.
One piece of information specifically he was searching for was the connection of the Ancient Clan with many devil factions in the Western Continent. The Fate Shadow learned they had an alliance with many factions for many eras.
Devil Cultivators thrive during periods of chaos and war, making them the perfect partners for their plans. Furthermore, the Ancient Clan also feared people would discover what they were doing and turn into the world\'s public enemy.
In a worst-case scenario that this happened, they would have powerful allies in the form of the western\'s devil cultivators.
Wang Wei\'s last objective was to use this occasion to announce the future changes in the world to the other factions. By now, he could imagine the turbulence his words caused the outside.
\'Everything is prepared. Now, the only thing left is to win.\'
He has been planning the establishment of the new era for over 300,000 years, and that was not counting time dilations or accelerations. Now, he was on the last step and did not wish to fumble the ball.
Otherwise, he would either die and lose the opportunity to create his era or postpone it for one or many generations.
Considering how many people were relying on him and this new era–even Heavenly Dao–he knew he could not lose–no matter what.
Wang Wei took a deep breath to calm down and readjust his state of mind. Finally, he gazed at Li Jun, who had finished his retreat.
"How was it?"
"Great. I learned a lot," he replied with a brilliant smile.
"Did you fight her?"
The mighty general nodded. He used his Dream Sleeping Technique to simulate Huo Fenghuang and fought against her.
"The result?"
"I won, but only because of the spear," he admitted. When the battle started, he dominated her–even with her advantage in body refining. Li Jun took advantage of her weak Duyi Realm and severely injured her.
Then, she changed into her Five Sacred Beast Form, and he almost died.
Finally, he also used secret methods to reach the same height as her and barely won.
"A win is a win," commented Wang Wei.
"True," nodded Li Jun. However, he knew his victory resulted from having more information about her. According to his other simulation, where he had no information about her, his winning rate dropped to 50%.
Regardless, he did not mind since he believed he still had room to grow before becoming an Emperor. And after this battle, he will ensure he reaches the limit of his talent and establish the perfect foundation to have a powerful Dao Body.
Wang Wei did not say anything else and returned to his meditation while paying attention to the battlefield.
Meanwhile, as he predicted, the outside world was turbulent.
The chaos started with Sword One stopping many people from reaching the Northern Continent and protecting the demon race. Then, countless people watched Wang Wei\'s conversation, and the world became quiet for a moment.
Numerous factions wondered whether Wang Wei was telling the truth; they wondered whether the Dao Opening Sect was about to make great moves.
People were initially skeptical before remembering how odd it was for Heavenly Dao to make Wang Wei a perfect Son of an Era. Then, they finally understood why–this man was going to revive the Myriad Emperor World.
So, the world boiled. All factions began to gather and discuss the measures they needed to take to survive the upcoming world, the forthcoming chaos. And some also wanted to thrive.
After many conversations with the leaders of these factions, these factions began to act. They woke up their Ancestors, and a few contacted their biggest backers–the Immortal Sovereigns.
Finally, these factions began to pay attention to the Primordial God Cultivation System. They ordered their sects, clans, or religions to cultivate people in this system.
Unfortunately, this system was rare in modern times–especially after Qiyuan\'s clean-up. So, not many factions had a proper inheritance or one of high value. So, people worldwide began to look out for the inheritance of the ancient system.
Wang Wei\'s actions stopped the chaos of the Northern Continent. After all, if this news were true, the world would be full of Innate Demons, and Ao Shen will not be so rare or valuable.
