1059 Next Batch
"Is it that bad?" asked Yu Yan.
"You didn't see it because this was not a life and death-battle," continued Wang Wei. "Otherwise, Ao Shen would have mistreated you even with the same strength. Of course, you wouldn't die with the Golden Body, but it would be a different story without it."
Yu Yan was silent. She expected she would not be on par with the geniuses of this extraordinary generation. After all, she never participated in her Heaven Will Battle and spent most of her time as a non-combatant. But she never thought the difference would be so vast.
"How do you feel?" asked Wang Wei.
"Sad, despite expecting this outcome," replied Yu Yan. "I never expected how much my role as a mother and housewife would affect me." She had a wry smile as she repeated Ao Shen's derivative comment.
"Regret it?"
"No. I never regretted loving my family. And If I had the chance, I would still make the same choice."
"But you wouldn't have given up your warrior side," added Wang Wei.
"Exactly. I could have been all three: a mother, wife, and pinnacle warrior," nodded Yu Yan before sighing. Wang Wei agreed with her, "It's not too late."
"True, so what advice do you have?"
"First, you must know your potential exceeds Ao Shen's."
"Yes, but only because I'm your mother."
"And what's wrong with that?" rebutted Wang Wei. "Without the Dao Opening Sect and the memories from my past life, I would never have today's accomplishments. As sad as it is, sometimes, birth is truly the determining factor for success."
"You...have a point."
His next destination was the Nether Hell. Wang Wei would often check on Old Man Nether and reinforce the seal; he did not want any trouble with his forbidden place until he was ready.
After returning to the court, he sent invitations to different places across the Endless Void. Soon after, a portal opened before him, and a projection of Wrath walked with many Neo-Devils behind her, including Gluttony and a few members of the Seven Sins that survived the Clean-up. Wang Wei was surprised as he thought she would not want these close friends/brothers and sisters to be entangled in such dangerous affairs.
"Are you sure our identity won't be an issue?" asked Wrath.
"Don't worry. If they don't want to accept you, I have already planned a backup to reimburse you."
Wrath looked at him in the eyes, "I'm trusting you with my family. Do you understand this?"
"I do, and I won't let you down."
"Good." Wrath soon left after a few more words, and Wang Wei put these people away. A few minutes later, more Great Emperor projections appeared, with people following them. Soon, Tong Ruobing and Mu Lei, Ji Lanfang, Shi Qian, Xi Shangyan, and the Demon Suppression Emperor appeared.
They had a long meeting to introduce everybody since they were in an alliance. They discussed many things, including trading between their worlds and communities, and set up rules for their military alliance. Once the meeting ended, most people dispersed.
Ji Lanfang stayed because he wanted to see his friend, Wang Tian. It also helped his decision after Wang Wei told him his father had a special world that he would appreciate, and he was more correct than he thought. After meeting Wang Tian, Ji Lanfang also entered the Swordsmanship World and did not want to leave. Luckily, he was a projection, or the people from his sect would have thought their Heavenly Emperor was abducted.
Xi Shangyan briefly chatted with Wang Wei afterward, only telling him he sent her family the news, but there has been no response as of yet. The Demon Suppression Emperor asked for a tour of the Myriad Emperor World, and Wang Wei obliged. Shi Qian said she had something important to discuss but said she could wait until he had all his affairs in order, so she became a temporary guest in the court.
Wang Wei summoned Wang Qi with the next batch of people to be trafficked to the upper dimension. Then, a few days later, Wang Qi returned with the resources in hand.
"There were no issues with the Devil Race?"
"No; they didn't even ask," replied Wang Qi, and Wang Wei pondered. There were two reasons for this response: firstly, the upper dimension is not as prejudiced against the devil race, or their history has long been forgotten or erased after the rise of these parasites. Maybe a combination of the two.
He dismissed Wang Qi before checking the resources.
"As expected," he commented. According to his agreement with these people, the resource exchange is based on the talent of the individuals sent. After a preliminary analysis of the batch's talent, they will calculate what to send. Then, there will be additional rewards based on their performance after absorbing the Heaven Will.
Last time, he sent the best of the best, so the reward was exceptional. After these people descended, they sent him the bonus, which was exceptional as everyone became Eternals. But this batch, the preliminary talent, could not compare to the former. Luckily, Wang Wei had made up for it with numbers.
After putting things away, he took out something else.
