Chapter 697 - 692: Not Like Him

Wei Wuyin stared at the Dark Void, standing at the edge of the Voidship. In a very short period of time, far too many things had happened. While Yao Houyi was his intended target, he hadn't expected to find such a talent, nor such a beautiful Ascended or delve further into divine mysteries and evil organizations.

"So many things..." He would be lying if he said he wasn't a little overwhelmed. The peaceful times of the Myriad Monarch Sect were slowly becoming nostalgic memories of the past. He had a feeling that he would be thrusted into more than just simple conflicts that could be dealt with by a single sentence like before.

From what Wu Yu had told him, his actions and those of the Ascendants were shaking up the Aeternal Sky Starfield. His Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill was on the cusp of changing the conventions of cultivation and definition of talent and foundations. He expected it to be incredibly well-received, but in truth, he also expected that the Aeternal Sky Starfield should have other alternatives. And while they did, it wasn't even close.

Wei Wuyin hadn't expected it to set off such chaotic and turbulent waves and undercurrents. The True Element Sect had even leaked out news of his Chosen position, using his name, a mere mortal, as leverage to gain breathing room. He expected a society that had tens of thousands of Ascended would've been far, far more advanced.

However, his status as a Mortal Sovereign Alchemist was still as impressive as being an Emperor Alchemist in the Everlore Starfield. If the truth of who he is became more rampant without the corresponding power, would he end up in an unfavorable situation? He truly overestimated the Grand Cyclic Stellar Region's abilities, believing his abilities were negligible, just potential. This was due to Ma Zheng's actions, believing the old man was investing in a future talent, not a current expert.

"Did you want something different?" Eden asked at this moment. As his Alchemic Eden Astral Soul nestled in his Sea of Consciousness, Eden was well-aware of almost all his thoughts and emotions that originated from his primary mind, including his apprehension to be in the spotlight so soon.

"I don't know," Wei Wuyin truthfully said as he leaned forward, observing the far-off planets and Solar Stars of the Ninestar Starfield. Due to the hefty personal cost to traverse using Void Portals in the limits of the starfield, and Bai Lin's need to recover her strength, the Voidship was the only alternative left. They've been traveling for a few days, yet still so-so far away from the planet Blueglow. At this pace using an archaic voidship, it might take over a year to return.

"Who cares? Conflict, peace, war, or status, what's it before a True Void Dragon? There's no restraint that exists that can confine us, the embodiment of freedom!" Kratos said indifferently, its tone incredibly domineering.

"Tch," King echoed his agreements. If they created waves, so be it. Before its edge, who dared to resist?

Their simple thinking caused Wei Wuyin to smile a little, lightening his emotions. The two were quite domineering.

"I...I think it's perfect," Ori chimed hesitantly.

"Perfect?" Wei Wuyin's curiosity was lit.

Wei Wuyin's silver eyes reflected the Dark Void and its boundlessness. A glimmer of unfathomable emotion suffused his eyes."I'm not afraid, I'm excited! So excited that I think I'll cause the deaths of others and yours..."

That's right! Afraid? Absolutely not. Fearful to take the spotlight? Never! Threats? Dangers? They stimulated him! Was he scared when he was a Qi Condensation Cultivator facing a Second Stage Astral Core Realm Cultivator? When he took Wu Jiao's arm?

Was he afraid of the Second Calamity?! No! He sped it up!

Was he afraid when he intended to face a Star-Devourer hell-bent on devouring Solar Stars? He chose to stay!

Was he afraid when he intended to steal an entire planet from three Ascended? When he was brought into a fortified prison? When has he ever been afraid of taking risks?!

Regardless of what, Eden, Kratos, King, and Ori all originated from his soul, mind, and body. If they weren't afraid, how could he be? They were domineering, how could he not be?

However, he wasn't alone. And this was a situation where others were involved, variables occurring in the front, back, and in the shadows. A single wrong move could cascade into a sequence of horrific events. There were even Earthly Saints involved. The moves he wanted to make, the future he sees for himself, the chaos that might unfold, it was all far too massive.

"Good," Eden said.

"ROAR!" Kratos erupted with a loud, aggressive draconic roar that shook the void.

"Tch," saberlight coursed through the optic nerves of Wei Wuyin's eyes, effusing a sharp, glaringly fierce brilliance.

"Let's do it then! Why worry? Why worry? We're in this together!" Ori excitedly yelped.

Those words resonated with them all. Especially Wei Wuyin, his eyes lifted to observe the world before him. He looked to the left and the right, then looked beyond the Ninestar Starfield, saw all of it beyond, including the Aeternal Sky Starfield.

He wasn't like the King of Everlore.

"Then...In this life, I want it all."
