Chapter 362 - 358: Era-Defining Requests On Ascension Day

With the end of the All-Alchemic Clash, an innumerable amount of celebratory feasts were held in Wei Wuyin’s name. There were even numerous societies that had unanimously decided to mark this day on the decadal calendars. They would name it:

Ascension Day.

It would be celebrated with the offering of alchemical products to youths, the future generation. For thousands and thousands of years, the starfield’s elite alchemic forces, whatever they may be, will generously offer to the younger generation of talents. While those youngsters who devoted their lives to alchemy will receive the respect of countless individuals in hopes that one day they could bring about a new beginning of an era.

Several hours later.

Wei Wuyin hadn’t expected an end like this, but it was met with grateful happiness. He had even met a few individuals that were calling the starfield in casual conversion the Neo-Dawn Starfield. He held a bright smile for a full hour after, unable to stop.

At the moment, however, he was before the presence of all the hegemonic forces of the world and its leaders. This included the forces that were extremely close, such as the Alchemist Association and Golden Coin Pavilion. They were led by Sixth Stage Astral Core Realm experts, rivaling Grand Imperial Sages.

But now, these figures were quietly and patiently waiting for Wei Wuyin to speak. Even if they were extremely powerful, even if they could crush Wei Wuyin with their fearsome cultivation base, they wouldn’t dare. Not only due to Tuo Bihan’s presence, but merely because of who he was.

Sweeping his gaze over these figures, he noted the Grand Imperial Sages were present, including some elite figures of the hegemonic forces that rivaled them outside of leadership. There was even Li Che and Yi Yun, who were revealing calm expressions, but the light in their eyes betrayed their intentions.

"Grand Association Master Yun," Wei Wuyin called out Qingye Yun’s title causing him to take a calm breath, "You owe me a request for my victory. In that case, I’ll state it now."Th.ê most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

Qingye Yun’s heart tightened. He knew this would happen. Unlike the first wager he lost, there was no optional condition in this one. There was no way they could pay-off their loss.

Wei Wuyin said, "The entire Alchemist Association will merge with the Myriad Monarch Sect, joining my personal Faction: the Ascendants. Any objections?"

"...!" The hegemonic leaders of the starfield exclaimed, gasps and shock abound. This request was a little too much, no?

Qingye Yun sighed. He looked at Wei Wuyin, his expression regained its calm, and even the light within his eyes betrayed his excitement. He expected something similar to this, and he was well aware of the Myriad Monarch Sect’s conduct towards personal factions and its rules. This wasn’t bad.

This just meant that he gave up leadership to Wei Wuyin. While less than fifty years old, he had proven his abilities beyond any doubt.

However, Qingye Yun didn’t immediately agree. "What about those unwilling to join? If they choose to leave?"

Wei Wuyin calmly smiled, "They can leave if they wish. I’ll only accept willing parties, but I, nor the Myriad Monarch Sect, will accept any ex-Association members nor their descendants for three generations and three hundred years."

Qingye Yun felt the viciousness within this remark, but he didn’t object. He nodded, "Then, I, as the Grand Association Master, agree. I’ll talk this over with the others later, organizing and handling the merging process." His willingness wasn’t unexpected, especially considering his Princess of Everlore had fallen to pieces.

There were even a few that were envious, especially Li Che and Yi Yun.

Realmlords.

Timelords.

Starlords.

Just from his display of concocting eighth-grade elixir with utter ease, they realized his success rate and refinement speed was heaven-defying. These former titles would definitely be born in the Myriad Monarch Sect first, claiming the entire starfield as their own. What they needed to do was keep their head down and cautiously accept the newfound status quo without rocking the bed lest they be erased.

While Wei Wuyin couldn’t guarantee that future generations of the Myriad Monarch Sect won’t strive for revenge, he could at least inform them that he had no intentions of destroying any of them completely. While this guarantee might sound somewhat ridiculous and loose, it still allowed their hearts to simmer down.

Even the Princess of Everlore and the Alchemist Association were scheduled to be devoured, so they had no avenue of independence or a future if Wei Wuyin didn’t allow it.

The meeting lasted for quite a while with various issues being discussed. Wei Wuyin was a natural leader, acting in the position of power and the central focus. His opinion, at this moment, was the most important. Fortunately for them, he was young and his ambitions weren’t extremely wild.

The Grand Monarch Lineage were well-known tyrannical conquerors, and they suppressed the other forces to extreme levels before their decline. If it wasn’t for their ancestor’s presence, they might have been thoroughly wiped out. But Wei Wuyin was more mellow, like the combination of Grand Monarch Wu Yu and the King of Everlore. As long as they didn’t overstep their boundaries, they could co-exist.

With the absorption of the Alchemist Association, one of his main plans he had from the conception of the Ascendants had been accomplished. He would soon become the #1 Alchemic Force in the entire starfield. He would no longer have to strive to provide for every individual member, capable of delegating tasks as he saw fit.

In the end, everyone left with smiles and light hearts. The only that remained in the room were Jiang Feilan, Qin Rui, Qingye Yun, and Tuo Bihan.

Wei Wuyin was somewhat startled by Qin Rui’s presence. She, much like Qingye Ying, liked to conceal her appearance thoroughly. But from her eyes that looked at him, he had a strange feeling. He didn’t know how to describe it.

Anyhow, Qingye Yun had stayed behind on his order.

"Grand Association Master Yun." Wei Wuyin merely said his name and he faintly jumped. Those four words contained a questioning intent. Those silver eyes that regarded him were extremely piercing and demanding.

Qingye Yun sighed in his heart."Ascendant Emperor Wei, I’ll inform you of my intended request, but I must ask you: Can we discuss this at the Headquarters of the Alchemist Association? It would be better to tell you there." While this type of request could be misunderstood as having ill-intentions, Wei Wuyin nodded in agreement regardless.

From the beginning, Qingye Yun had tried various manipulative tactics to get him to agree to some request. Now that the Alchemist Association would soon become his, he wanted to know what this request was. Why all these shadowy means? Why not directly ask him?

He had more than just these questions, but all would definitely be revealed when he understood the ’why’ of it all.

Qingye Yun felt his heart calm after seeing Wei Wuyin agree.

"You’re dismissed." Wei Wuyin declared, causing Qingye Yun to bow slightly before leaving. He didn’t even show an ounce of unwillingness in being directly dismissed. But within his heart, there were definitely all sorts of strange and intriguing thoughts.

With that, only four remained.

Wei Wuyin couldn’t help but wonder what Qin Rui wanted. He looked towards her, and her expression tensed!
