Chapter 883 Ripples

883 Ripples

Primordial Chaos, Red Mist Forbidden Land:

Heavenly Book opened his eyes, cursing out loud, "Damn you, Madman Chu. Why is it such a pain for us to make a deal?"

Heavenly Book exhaled out loud to calm down. He was an arrogant man. After all, with all his abilities and accomplishments, how could he not be? Of course, as a Dao Overlord, he would never allow such a "character flaw' to affect his plans.

As an arrogant man, there are only a few people he can say he respects with all his mind, and one of these is Madman Chu. Chu Yun was truly a rare genius that the entire Chaos Universe had never seen.

Grand Dao bled six times since the beginning of time, and Madman Chu was one of the people responsible for one of these times. According to Heavenly Book's evaluation of the latter, he is the man closest to creating a method of transcendence without relying on foreign aid.

That's how much of a genius Madman Chu was. Unfortunately, one of his early experiments to achieve transcendence resulted in his current mental state.

'If that bastard were not insane, he would truly be one of the scariest people in the Chaos Universe. Maybe the rumors are true,' commented Heavenly Book. According to rumors, Grand Dao was scared of this man's ability, so it schemed against him, resulting in his current state.

Heavenly Book focused and summoned a book, not the incomplete one that he was trying to create but a second one with countless knowledge, secrets, and truths of the universe. He wanted to see if there was some information he could use to facilitate the deal with

Madman Chu.

"Huh?" he muttered as he felt something. He summoned his Heaven Book and saw more writings appear.

"Another Time Nexus? Something must have happened," he muttered as he looked at the paragraphs in the book.

"I was right. One of them is in the Eternal Ascension World. It should be Wang Wei. Does he have a connection with the Prehistoric World? Such information will change things."

One of the blindsides of his information network has always been the Prehistoric World. He tried a few times to infiltrate that place and even suffered a small loss in his attempt.n0vELusb.C0M

"Is the Grand Dao Son in that world? Another trouble." A deep frown manifested on his face. However, Heavenly Book soon squinted his eyes at a particular passage in the book–it was about him.

'I expected this, but it is still a little unsettling.'

His previous book did not contain his existence. After all, according to the previous track of fate, he was one of the infinite mortals of the world; his existence was inconsequential.

However, he was now part of the story and played a significant role.

Heavenly Book waited until the book finished. He reviewed all the information he had.

'I thought time was on my side, but that may not be the case,' he deduced with a frown. 'In that case, I might need to take some risks.'

Heavenly Book was a man of action, so he immediately began to implement his plan. He sent a clone outside of the Red Mist. He hid his body in this place to prevent Supreme Unity from changing his mind and hunting him down.

Luckily, this place was one of the few safe places he could hide from a Half-Step Transcendent. He was confident that even if Supreme Unity came here, he would suffer a small loss at Madman Chu's hands.

After his clone exited this Forbidden Land, he waved his hand to manifest a grand, mysterious, and noble river.

'The River of Time–no matter how many times I see it, it's still magnificent,' thought Heavenly Book before observing the river, searching for something. After a few hours, his eyes lit up before he took out a green jade from his space and sent it inside.

He waited for a few seconds until the jade disappeared.

'It worked," he thought before sneering internally. 'It's really treating me as a pawn.'

His actions could be one of the biggest offenses of the universe; he tried to alter the Primordial Timeline by influencing the past. Such an act would have released a backlash that would instantly kill even him.

And if he managed to survive, the Justiciary of Time would have come after him. However, he was currently perfectly intact and succeeded in this impossible endeavor.

Heavenly Book knew this could only mean one thing–someone allowed his actions to proceed. And it was not hard to guess who had such authority–Grand Dao.

The clone looked in the distance, his face remained calm and indifferent.

'As for him, since he is in that world, I need other means to test the water.'

Without wasting more time, he disappeared into the distance.

Prehistoric World, Purple Chaos Palace:

Hongjun opened his eyes, "So, he finally reached that step."

His eyes penetrated an infinite distance as he saw Wang Wei proving the Dao.

'Fate Dao?' he thought with a frown. 'Is it related to him?'

The All-Seeing Temple had a prophecy that would affect the entire Chaos Universe. As a person who cultivates Destiny Dao, he used some means to divine the prophecy before even the temple knew the exact words.

[The All Heaven Fate Calamity is approaching, the strings of fate envelop Primordial Chaos. The Mad Emperor–in his path to control his own fate–will do anything to reach detachment.]

Hongjun had a headache. He did not know whether the outlier he had saved for a while was related to this prophecy. However, it did not matter. Once the temples release the prophecy, people who cultivated Fate Dao will be in the eyes of the storm. If they do not have the strength, they will suffer catastrophe.

'If it is related to him, things will get complicated, but it will also be an opportunity.'

Hongjun waved his hand to manifest three pictures. These people were each selected by him to be reincarnated into other worlds to prepare for the upcoming calamity.

As for Wang Wei? He was sadly collateral damage when Hongjun facilitated the World Collisions in order to hide his actions of reincarnating these people.

He was not the only collateral damage, but he was the only one who survived. So, Hongjun considered him an outlier, so he decided to save him despite the signs he was deeply connected to Grand Dao and the River of Fate.

Hongjun saw Wang Wei's Willpower and how he survived Primordial Chaos. Impressed, he chose to provide some help and see how things would proceed.

Hongjun looked at these three pictures:

'They are all Paragons, but that does not mean much. Only Half-

Step Transcendence has a remote chance of surviving the oncoming storm.'

He frowned after thinking of this. During all the time Wang Wei spent in the void, these people already proved the Dao and ascended to the realm of Paragons; they have long reached the peak of their realm, but Hongjun is not happy because their Path of Transcendence is going nowhere.

'All these deviations are because of Emperor Qin,' he sighed. Emperor Qin–Ying Zheng–was the first step of his plan; he was a test trial before the others.

At first, Hongjun thought he had failed since the latter only became a regular Paragon. However, things changed when the Qin Emperor reincarnated, became Eternal, and took the moniker of Human Emperor.

According to Hongjun's plan, he granted the Human Emperor a piece of his Heavenly Dao Jade, allowing him to deduce a path to transcendence using the Three Talents of Heaven and Earth–

Human, Earth, and Heaven.

Once he became a Half-Step Transcendence, he would then be the vanguard for the others, showing them the path forward.

However, the Emperor had a suspicious mind and did not believe in anyone. Fearing that Hongjun might be scheming against him, he ignored his warnings and participated in the Ultimate Taboo.

The result was his death and the long delay of achieving transcendence.

'If he had listened to me, he should have taken that step by now,' muttered Hongjun as he shook his head.

'Now, there are too many variables, and his chances have drastically decreased.'

Hongjun sighed to exhale his frustration. Why was he doing all this? To save the Prehistoric World? Yes, but not entirely out of selflessness. He wants to see the path forward, and his only hope is to have more fellow Daoists to discuss, bouncing ideas off each other to become enlightened.

'If only Grand Dao had not erased most of the information about Pangu,' lamented Hongjun, he could have learned so many things about the Path of Transcendence.

Sadly, although this world is isolated, Grand Dao still has its ways of intervening. And when necessary, it will go all out to ensure certain rules and restrictions.

He moved his gaze to look at the tiny planet of Earth.

'Should I choose more people?'

He quickly shook his head. All the people born on Earth–no matter their race, gender, or ethnicity–are special. So, reincarnating them into other worlds is very dangerous and requires great risks.

His previous actions of artificially creating World Collisions have brought him to the eyes of many people, and Hongjun did not like that since it was not conducive to keeping the world safe and continuing his cultivation journey.

'Let's wait for a little longer.'
