Chapter 1096 Terrifying Enemy
1096 Terrifying Enemy
The first person Wang Wei thought of was one of the Six Cardinals - the Magistrate of Heaven. From Wu Hong's notebooks, he learned the basic names of these six individuals, and Wang Wei believed if there were someone with the strength, knowledge, and possible motive to scheme against him across space and time, it would be him.
However, Wang Wei had his reservation about this deduction for a few reasons. The inheritance does not seem to come from someone who created True Heavenly Dao but from someone who knows a great deal about it after years of research. Secondly, the fact that the inheritance only went as far as the fifth reincarnation and encouraged its owner to travel to a non-primary Source Chaos World was a sign that someone with limited power or ability did it.
Of course, Wang Wei considered the possibility that the Magistrate of Heaven did it on purpose to remove suspicions from himself. Even commenting about leaving the world to continue the inheritance might be another trap.
The second person Wang Wei doubted was Heavenly Book Paragon. As the person who holds the Paragon Title or position of Heaven Dao, he would have the capabilities and knowledge for this inheritance. And as a Fate Star, Heavenly Book Paragon had the intelligence and ingenuity to devise such a brilliant idea.
'The issue is why this man is targeting me? I've never met or offended him?' thought Wang Wei, and after a brief analysis, he figured many things out. What does someone like Heavenly Book Paragon, who has reached the end of the Paragon Realm, want to achieve? The answer is obvious since it applies to everyone on or near his level - Transcendence.
'Heavenly Book never participated in the Second Origin War-why? He either couldn't or did not want to. If we follow the latter's line of thinking, why would he not want to participate in an event with such major ramifications?
'He either knew it would not work or had another method of achieving transcendence - maybe both.'
With Heavenly Book's intelligence, it's not far-fetched for him to deduce what Qiyuan wanted to achieve and even predict his failure.
'So, he used the event and the power vacuum afterward to spread his power and influence all over the Chaos Universe.'
Wang Wei had chills running down his spine as he realized how much power Heavenly Book Paragon might have if he took full advantage of all these Paragons entering Limbo across the Chaos Universe.
'If I were him, I would create pawns in every primary Source Chaos world and other worlds of significance...Speaking of pawns, could these parasites be related to him in any way?' Wang Wei paused as this idea was also feasible.
'It's possible they were once Heavenly Book's pawns, but he had to abandon them once Maitreya and Supreme Unity came back into the picture.'
Wang Wei's brow furrowed deeply as he realized the severity of the situation. There is a high chance that a future version of Heavenly Book Paragon has allied with Grand Dao to deal with him. And with his deep foundation from the Ultimate Taboo events, he will truly be a formidable foe.New novel chapters are published on
'No, maybe not just his future self. Paragons have way more leniency regarding messing with the River of Time. So, it's not impossible for him to already have contact with Grand Dao.'
"I'm sorry," said Wang Ju, lowering her head in shame.
"Did something happen?" asked Wang Wei.
"We captured everyone else, but Number 1 escaped."
"How can he escape under your hands?"
"I don't know exactly, but he immediately detected something wrong and escaped, leaving everyone behind. I tried to find him afterward, but my divination was blocked."
"He Shiyi shielded him with the power of the Four Symbol Mirror. I will deactivate the protection, so go retrieve him," said Wang Wei before summoning the mirror and using it. Wang Ju activated all her strength before disappearing. She returned less than a minute later with a captured Number 1.
"Did he talk to anyone?"
"I checked, and the answer is no; he was more focused on running away."
"Good. Where are the others?" Wang Ju summoned the other spies, and Wang Wei searched their souls. He only succeeded for three of them as the remaining six had Slave Marks on their souls, and he did not want to touch this thing. He then used his Spirit Particle to enslave the markless ones while hypnotizing the mark ones.
"I need you to return to your homeworlds and...."
"Yes, master." (9x)
These spies disappeared, leaving Wang Wei and Wang Ju. Although brute force is oftentimes the quickest way to do things, it's usually not the most optimized approach for maximum benefit.
"You know your next step?"
"Yes," bowed Wang Ju. "Once again, I apologize for my failure."
"It's fine. Go do your task." Wang Wei knew no plans were guaranteed and usually accounted for possible mistakes. He would only reprimand her if the failure were the result of her incompetence or mistake.
