[Unedited Chapter]

Yan Hai showed a look of anger and frustration after hearing these words; "That trial was bullshit. Although I don’t remember much, I still remember it was nothing but bullshit."
"Calm down, ancestor," Wang Wei swiftly said.
"You don’t understand," Yan Hai said with gritted teeth. "After countless trials and tribulations, we finally reached the deepest part of the inner area and were given a choice: accept the flawed method or pass that bullshit trial to get a perfect method.
"But there was no perfect method. All the best talents and greatest minds of the Chaos Universe participated in the trial, and only five people survived; on top of that, we all failed. It was nothing but bullshit. Grand Dao did not want anyone with a perfect method, so he made that impossible trial."
Wang Wei was embarrassed as he realized he may have triggered some bad memories for her. Luckily, she did not remember exactly what happened during that trial or her reaction might have been more severe.
"You’re right, ancestor, but there is nothing we can do now besides letting go," Wang Wei persuaded her. Yan Hai’s chest rose up and down as she controlled her breathing to calm down. She snorted coldly to herself, her eyes displaying a sharp and intense killing intent that only she knew was the target.
"Is there anything else?"
"Huh, no," Wang Wei replied. Although he had a few more questions, he did not dare ask. Yan Hai ended the communication, and Wang Wei finally breathed in relief. He took a moment to regain his composure before meeting Wrath again.
"I’m sorry but I can’t help you," Wang Wei said directly.
"Why?" Wrath asked, and Wang Wei explained everything, including Lu Chuntao’s past and his deduction.
"Maybe you’re wrong," Wrath argued. "After all, these are nothing but speculations."
"Even if that’s true, I’m not willing to take the risk — at least, not now," Wang Wei replied calmly.
"By the time you’re ready, it will be too late." Wang Wei shrugged at these words.
"Wang Wei, you —"
"Okay, don’t say anything that will ruin our relationship," Wang Wei stopped her. "Don’t forget your mission to your people. You should focus on surviving this catastrophe and become stronger in the upcoming era. That’s the only way you’ll be able to protect the Neo-Demons."
Wang Wei’s words were sincere, and he hoped she would listen to him. Wrath stared at him before closing her eyes, exhaling deeply to calm down.
"You’re extremely talented and have inherited the destiny of the devil race, meaning your future is very bright. However, you need time to grow and maybe even protection, so I recommend you join a faction," Wang Wei continued.
"Including your sect?" Wrath asked, looking directly in the eyes.
"Yes, including mine," Wang Wei nodded. "This is not the lower dimension, so you don’t have to live with a chip on your shoulder. What the devil race has done was so long ago that few people care. And the ones who do remember do not care since they consider you guys losers.
"The only thing that may cause you problems is your identity as your master’s disciple, but once people know Lu Chuntao has that artifact, no one will care about that."
"I see," Wrath nodded before turning around, preparing to leave.

"Is there anything else?"
Wang Wei frowned as he looked at her: "Don’t do stupid like trying to exchange the news about Lu Chuntao in exchange for rescuing these descendants."
"I won’t."
Wang Wei sighed before snapping his finger. Chains materialized and caught Wrath before she could react.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Your eyes betrayed you," Wang Wei said.
"I don’t understand what you’re saying."
"Do you know how much is on my plate?" Wang Wei complained. "The last thing I need is for you to complicate the situation by making Lu Chuntao into an active chess player."
The Heavenly Serpent Empress was still lying low-key and hiding in the shadows, which was beneficial to Wang Wei. So, the last thing he wanted was for Wrath’s action to make her more active, maybe even turning her into his enemy.
"Are you going to kill me?" Wrath asked calmly. Now that the truth was revealed, she accepted her fate.
"No, but I’ll seal you," Wang Wei replied. He waved his hand, and she turned into a marble. Wang Wei sighed. He did many things for the devil race and fulfilled his promise to the primogenitor. But what has he gotten in return? Wang Wei was now sure that someone — most likely Heavenly Book — had stolen his fortunate encounter that contained that transcendent artifact.
’Why is my life so hard?’ Wang Wei complained before dissipating. Time passed, and a month passed by. Wang Wei was cultivating his flesh puppets in the blood pool. Then, he summoned Dulgun to check on Mongke’s progress:
"How long do you think it will take?"
"Do you know what we’re doing?" Dulgun asked.
