Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1545

Chapter 1545: Elder Council (III)

"What do you think?" Qiyuan asked, looking directly at Wang Wei, who did not immediately answer. Instead, he took the time to access the Information Hall and reviewed all the news gathered by the sect during his absence about the temple.

"Things will not proceed as smoothly as most people think," Wang Wei finally said. "The Primarchs are not stupid. They should have realized that their compatriot is setting them up, but they have remained calm and composed until now. They must have something to rely on to survive this ordeal."

Based on the information, Wang Wei realized these Primarchs remained seated in their position without doing anything. They didn’t fight with the Emperor Path Demon Gods, they barely tried to clear their names, and they haven’t secretly tried to move some of their people away. The only explanation for their behavior is that they have accepted their fate, or they have something up their sleeve to survive the ordeal.

Wang Wei believes it’s the latter, especially after his deduction during his retreat. However, he did not bring it during this meeting because he was not too sure, and he hoped he was right. So, he decided to keep this news to himself and let things develop accordingly.

"It’s indeed odd. At first, I thought they wanted to argue their case fairly during the assembly, but these old beasts should not be this naive," Yan Shirong added. These Innate Demon Gods should understand that people want to eliminate them to weaken the temple, and finally settle the battle between innate and acquired life forms.

Well, it’s not much of a debate anymore since the acquired have won. However, many people still find them an eyesore, and they will be more than happy to eliminate them entirely.

"But what could their way of surviving be? Don’t tell me they’ve sold themselves to foreign worlds," Yan Hai said.

"It’s not impossible. They are not desperate and will probably do anything to survive," Qiyuan frowned.

"Who would they join?" an elder asked.

"It could be any Transcendent Faction, or maybe the Heaven Law World," someone suggested. Transcendent Faction can provide them with better protection, and the Heaven Law World was ruled by Primarchs, so it made sense to join their fellow compatriots.

"Does it matter who? We should focus on how to respond if it’s true."

"It does matter. These traitors must have sold our news to other Chaos Worlds."

"You don’t think these foreigners already know the state of our world? These hyenas have already prepared to benefit from the chaos. They haven’t shown themselves because they are waiting to see the scale of the disaster. They want us to bear the brunt of the first wave of attacks."

Wang Wei frowned after hearing these words: "Why wasn’t the Hong Protection System activated?" According to his fiancée, the system was not designed to protect the world from invaders, but it could also intercept communications. In other words, it was the wise move to activate it to keep news from leaking.

"The system is now completely under Heavenly Dao’s control," Yan Hai explained.

"So, it wants the news to leak?" Wang Wei uttered. He did not hide his sneer. "It makes sense. If we fail the disaster, it would want foreign factions to take our place and continue the prosperity of the Central Destiny Chaos World."

Although Wang Wei’s words were harsh, it contained some truth. Heavenly Dao has planned the rise of the Eternal Ascension World for too long, meaning it’s prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure success, even if it means replacing the current inhabitants with foreign forces.

"We have never trusted Heavenly Dao, so our sect has long been prepared to compete with foreign forces to preserve our spot at the top of the hierarchy," Yan Shirong sneered.

Wang Wei nodded. The disaster has many implications. On the lowest level, it is a reshuffling of the power board, removing the 13 Overlord system and setting up a new system with Transcendent Factions at the top.

However, at the highest level, the disaster’s purpose is to launch the Transcendent Age, pushing the Chaos Universe into a new era. A few historians have argued that the Transcendent Age began with the revelation of the Quintessence Realm, and some extreme scholars have even suggested that the end of the Ultimate Taboo marked the start of the age.

However, Wang Wei believes the age will officially begin when the first true and complete Primordial Chaos Saint from the Eternal Ascension World is born. This idea is why he encourages and tries to ensure Wu Hong is the first to do it.

"Let’s get back on topic," Qiyuan said. "What should our stand be about the fate of the Primarchs?"

"I say we vote with everybody else and wait to see how they plan to save themselves. If they are indeed traitors, maybe we can put some of the blame on the temple and use this opportunity to weaken them."

"That’s not a bad idea. I’m not too fond of how they are using us to clean up their house."

The general consensus has been determined, and since the ancestors did not object, it was decided. The following discussion was still about the Grand Assembly, but it was more of a speculation of what other people might propose. The council also talked about the possible steps the assembly will take to prepare for war mobilization.
