Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1544

Chapter 1544: The Elder Council (II)

The Law of Balance of the Chaos Universe does not play around. The higher a person’s destiny is, the luckier they will be, and the harsher their life will be. This rule applies to everyone, and when it comes to extreme cases like Qiyuan and Wang Wei, the worst is expected to happen in every scenario.

"We may need to prepare for the worst-case scenario," Yan Hai muttered. She’s been with Qiyuan the longest and was present for all the moments when the worst-case scenarios happened.

"It’s all your fault," Qiyuan said while staring at Wang Wei.

"Me? You’re the one who decided to put those unlucky words into the world. If you keep quiet, we may have a chance," Wang Wei countered.

"Now is not the time to play the blame game," Yan Hai said. "We need a concrete plan." She already noticed several people who could no longer control their auras after realizing a Grand Dao Saint might be involved in the disaster.

"But what can we do?" Yan Shirong asked, his lips twitching. He had read the stories of his ancestors, and the current situation made him realize, in hindsight, how harsh their lives had been. He also realized he suffered the most during the Ultimate Taboo when he was with them.

"If the situation reaches that point and there is nothing we can do, we can only rely on our desperate safety net," Wang Wei said.

"You mean Su Dandan?" Qiyuan said. "You put it nicely, calling it a desperate safety net." If they join the Primeval Body Mansion as a way to save their lives from a Grand Dao Saint, the Dao Opening Sect might cease to exist, at least until they can survive and cultivate a Saint on that level. However, would the mansion just allow them to grow? That path was the last resort and could only be used after all other options had been exhausted.

"We need to give that little girl more support if she’s going to be our safety net," Yan Hai said. "We should also increase our focus on Body Refining if we want to better acclimate to the mansion."

"So, should we increase our support in spreading the Human Fiendgod Bloodline?" Yan Shirong asked. The new bloodline has significantly enhanced the sect’s potential in numerous ways, including the creation of several potential Primals.

In the previous era, only Pseudo Eternals had the opportunity to become Primals, unless the cultivators walked the True Power Dao Realm Path and achieved Willpower Manifestation. Unfortunately, not many people possessed the talent for body refinement, nor could they endure the pain that came with it. The Human Fiendgod bloodline and the current spirit of cultivation of the sect have created numerous Primal Prospects that can use Willpower Manifestation instead of Dao Will.

"We should. Even more, we should establish a strict system that encourages the awakening and development of our bloodline."

"But what about the reproduction issue?" Yan Shirong asked.

The Law of Balance of the universe is prevalent everywhere. Fiendgods are born powerful, but they have a slow growth period and low reproductive abilities. Humans are born weak, but compared to Fiendgods, their speed of breeding is comparable to bunnies.

The Human Fiendgod cannot escape this balance. They cannot be powerful and have high reproduction. Wang Wei has circumvented this balance by sealing the bloodline of clan members, requiring them to awaken at a certain age, with a probability of failure. In other words, Human Fiendgods are technically born weak. However, this method will not be nearly enough once so many members of the clan have such a powerful bloodline.

The Way of Balance is not a rigid rule or system, but more a will or consciousness that will change and adapt to any situation. Once the Dao Opening Sect becomes a bloodline faction with billions of members, it will trigger the balance mechanism.

"No need to worry about it," Qiyuan replied. Yan Shirong squinted as he understood the latter’s meaning. Once they have one or a few Transcendent Saints, they can deal with the mechanism. Or, at the very least, reduce its effect. Now, their focus should be to spread the bloodline to prepare for the disaster and possible fusion with the Primeval Body Mansion.

"I understand."

Qiyuan looked at the elders. "No need to panic. Our sect has survived for so long because we have remained calm, no matter the circumstances, and we have prepared for all scenarios. So, even if a Grand Dao Saint is somehow involved in this disaster, we will survive it."

Qiyuan’s white robe, calm demeanor, profound eyes, and an aura that indicated he was the origin of all Daos were indeed reassuring. Most of the elders who were panicking felt appeased; he even instilled a sense of confidence in them. Even the ones who did not completely trust his words did not immediately despair, which was a good sign.

"Thank you, ancestor," the elders said in unison, bowing slightly. The only person who secretly rolled his eyes was Wang Wei. He knew how terrifying Grand Dao Saint was. Although Hongjun’s storytelling used crude visions, he could still deduce from the context clues how terrifying an existence Pangu was.

However, he was also not panicking about this news. If everything goes accordingly, the person who will be involved in the cause and effect of the Grand Dao Saint is Emperor Kong, not him. Wang Wei plans to activate his Black Qi Luck ability during the entire disaster to remain unaffected by fate, destiny, luck, and cause and effect. He will do everything from the shadows and only show up when needed.

’I’m about to enter my puppeteer era,’ Wang Wei thought with a smirk.

Qiyuan nodded at everybody’s response. He noticed Wang Wei’s anomaly, but he did not point it out. "We have two more topics to discuss," he continued.
