Chapter 1319 Arrange Marriage
Wang Wei floated above the air, looking at this new environment. "Is this the Origin Seal Continent? This place is odd." As soon as he stepped into this world, he found his mind clear, and inspiration about different Daos flashed in his mind. He scanned this place with his divine sense. In terms of size, this continent was approximately 100 times larger than the lower dimension, which is considered small by the upper dimension's standard.
"It's extremely beneficial to cultivate in this place, but the reason for that is not an abundance of Dao Qi," Wang Wei muttered. The concentration of Dao Qi in this place was extraordinary, but it was not the main reason why it was so special. Wang Wei teleported to a forest nearby and started to play with the grass.
"No way," he muttered as he examined the trees, rivers, mountains, and animals. He then scanned the continent a second time, observing everything on a more profound level. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"What a brilliant method!" he praised. Everything on this continent was made of runes. From the grass to the trees, the clouds, the rain, the air, volcanoes, the ocean — everything was made from different runes, making this place the holy place for professionals. Just by observing a single tree in the Origin Seal Continent, these people can gain a deep understanding of [Wood Runes], [Vitality Runes], [Life Runes], and many more.
'Even the animals are composed of runes,' Wang Wei studied. 'She used [Essence Rune] to create the body, [Qi Rune] to give the body the life energy and other energies for the body to function, and finally, the [Spirit] Rune] created things like the mind, spirit, and soul.'
Such a method can be described as true creation, especially compared to the cheap Grandmist Wheel method. Wu Hong used her Dao to control other Daos, which in this case is Creation Dao. With such a method, it's no wonder she could compete for status with the Skill Dao Association.
'Is this a microcosm of the Eternal Ascension World? No, maybe the Chaos Universe?' Wang Wei immediately checked after having this idea. His eyes saw a gray river that ran through every fabric of this continent; this river was something he was familiar with, yet it was also different.
'A River of Fate created with Runes,' Wang Wei thought. It is common knowledge that [Runes] is the language of Grand Dao. But it was after today that he realized what these words truly meant. Wang Wei checked, and as expected, he saw the River of Time, a Source Qi Space, Heavenly Dao, and even Primordial Chaos — which surrounded this continent and served as a barrier or protection — and they were all created with runes.
"Wait, where is Samsara?" Wang Wei muttered. He searched, and he found it. "Did she steal power from the Yama Kings?" He could tell the Samsara of this continent was operating like any others. In other words, anyone who enters this continent will be under the jurisdiction of Wu Hong's Samsara instead of the ones controlled by Grand Dao and the Samsara Cardinal.
"I knew she was capable, but this is something else," Wang Wei sighed. "More importantly, she's so ballsy. Damn it, why did I find myself arose? Has it really been that long, or have I developed a new kink for capable women? I guess it isn't new."
"What a strange analogy," Wu Hong said with a frown.
"I know, but it's the best way to explain it," Wang Wei continued. "Continue."
"After the trial, well, my mind was more open, and I was even more rebellious. Then, things went sour after learning about my status as a Fate Seed. Before those events, I saw our situation as an arranged marriage.
"My loving and doting mother — Fate — chose a wonderful woman for me, and after meeting her and seeing how beautiful, compassionate, capable, and compatible we were, I accepted it. Of course, I'm still the rebellious son. Just because I accepted it once doesn't mean I'll accept it a second time. Then, our relationship worsened, and there was no longer room for reconciliation."
Wu Hong took a moment to process these words: "Such a strange way to explain the situation, yet it still makes sense," she nodded. "So, did you feel any instant connection after meeting her?"
"Not all," Wang Wei shook his head. "On the contrary, I feel our relationship is an ill-fated one. That girl will suffer immensely in her life if she gets with me."
"Oh?" Wu Hong felt he was not saying these words without any basis. "Tell me more." She motioned for him to sit down before serving tea. Wang Wei felt relaxed, and it was not only because the tea was refreshing but also because the tension in the room had dissipated.
So, he told his future wife everything that happened during his meeting with Xun Junyao, including his conjectures about his transcendent ability to influence the chessboard. He also told her about his conversation with Emperor Kong, mainly his conjecture about [Transcendent Factions], and that the Academy was chosen for one of the spots.
"What do you think?"
"About what specifically?" Wu Hong asked. He had said many things, and some she needed time to digest.
"Let's start with recruiting Xun Junyao," Wang Wei answered.
