Eternal Ascension World, Great Chu Divine Dynasty:
Pei Lang was still in his cultivation room, deep in thought after the conversation.
'The destined one, huh?' he thought.
'It would be a great opportunity to steal his life. Unfortunately, it's too risky.'
If Emperor Wang were a regular cultivator with strength on the lower end of the Great Emperor Realm and had no background, he would have taken the risk. With his strength, as long as his plan was meticulous enough, he had a high chance of succeeding.
Sadly, the latter's strength was too close to the Empyrean Realm. He knew if he tried something, Emperor Wang's destiny would have activated, allowing him to use the strength of the Empyrean Realm, which was enough even to injure him.
Additionally, he knew one of the Dao Opening Sect's four Primal Paragons was not dead.
Although she seemed severely injured and even her strength had dropped, it was not something he could deal with.
And if he took the Dao Opening Sect's connection, like Empress Wu, it would be a stupid decision to make this kid into his enemy when he did not need to.
'It's simply not worth it,' concluded Pei Lang before contacting Old Ma.
"We need to hurry our footsteps and be more aggressive."
"Sir, is this wise? We have already caused too much chaos and caught the attention of too many people," warned Old Ma.
"Don't worry. Destiny is on our side."
Old Ma seemed to have thought something.
"He..."
"Don't say anything."
"Alright," he said with a bright smile. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes. Tell everything to prepare⌜I will break through soon."
Old Man's eyes grew larger, "Sir, it's too dangerous."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOver the years, how many people have tried to break through secretly? However, they will all be discovered by the seven, and if their method is clever, the two suns will always find them.
If Mother Maitreya had discovered them, depending on the situation, she would only prevent the breakthrough. But if it's the other, death is the only thing left for them.
"No, it's the right time. As soon as I ended the conversation, I felt my opportunity was coming."
Old Ma was still worried; he did not dare to doubt the intuition of a powerful cultivator, but given the situation, he could not help it.
"Look at your response," said Pei Lang, shaking his head. "These people have put fear in the hearts of all sentient beings. Someone must stand up and show the people there is still light and hope.
"So, even if I fail, I will win."
"As you wish, Sir," said Old Man, bowing deeply to the leader with determined eyes. The conversation ended, and Pei Land stood silently in his room. He was not an altruistic person or a hero; he only started this revolution with other people because he refused to bow down to these lucky people.
It's also because he saw an opportunity for fame, glory, and power⌜even if the danger was astronomical. As such, his actions did not truly bring hope to the people.
'If I can succeed in becoming a Paragon, True Heavenly Dao would definitely reward me with plenty of merit.'
The world was currently in a dark age and needed someone to bring people hope and ignite their passion.
'I need to plan carefully in case something happens so that I can escape and survive.'
Now was the best time for his breakthrough. One of the eight disappeared, most likely running away to avoid the catastrophe. The remaining people were stuck fighting countless invasions from other Chaos Worlds.
'Although I don't know why the foreign world suddenly wishes to attack us, it doesn't matter to me for now. The only problem is with these two.'
According to his analysis, there is a major split between the two suns. Even before then, they had major contradictions, but they still worked together for a long time. But now, they seem to have turned into enemies.
'These two were the only true problem. However, my intuition told me that an opportunity for enlightening was coming. So, did something happen again with them?'
Pei Lang could not analyze more information, so he could only wait. So, he chose to focus on another task. He took a communication talisman and sent information to someone.
'She should be interested in this news,' thought Pei Lang, refusing to acknowledge he contacted her as an excuse to talk to the most beautiful woman in the world.
'Huh? She actually replied?' he thought with a smile, knowing his bet had worked. However, he did not talk for long as he sensed something. His gaze penetrated the walls, and looked at the sky.
"This is..."
He swiftly turned into the prime minister and rushed out of the room.
Eternal Ascension World, Dark Truth:
Supreme Unity opened his eyes, and the surroundings trembled slightly. His eyes looked at the conversation between Wang Wei and Pei Lang.
'Two pests meet and rapidly turn into a bigger pest,' he thought, his eyes cold and indifferent as always. A terrifying killing intent emanated from his body. If not for another power blocking his intent, trillions of worlds and cosmos would have perished because of his simple desire to kill.
While Supreme Unity was in a bad mood,
Maitreya had a grin on the corner of her mouth.
Two people she valued very much were meeting, plotting the destruction of this new era.
She watched the entire conversation, including what Pei Lang said to Old Ma afterward.
'I did not waste so much effort to shield you,' she thought. Supreme Unity or his cronies would have long warned the Earth Emperor of Pei Lang's true identity if not for her protection.
'The chess board has been established. Although I now appear to have the advantage, Supreme Unity has not revealed his true trump cards yet,'she analyzed. She overviewed everything she did and calculated endless possibilities.
'In the current situation, what is the best move I can make?'
The moment she asked herself that question, she had the answer.
'Remove his direct access to the game. That's the best way to ensure things proceed smoothly.'
Maitreya did not waste time and stood up from her position. Then, she released her aura.
"What's the meaning of this?" asked Supreme Unity indifferently.
"Please enlighten me," she said calmly, hands clasped and playing with a wooden prayer bead.
Supreme Unity immediately knew her intentions⌜remove him from the stage to give these people the breathing room to act.
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to accept her ridiculous move.
She did not care as much about the Eternal Ascension World as he did. If she had the choice, she would not hesitate to weaken the entire Chaos World to defeat him drastically, but he could not take such a risk.
"You don't care about the Dark Truth anymore?"
"You and I know the involvement of the Dark Truth is beyond our grade," she replied calmly.
"Furthermore, the Dark Truth may not necessarily be bad."
"Fine," groaned Supreme Unity as he slowly stood up. He had long expected this possible outcome, so he was prepared. As such, it was not

Maitreya followed him, and the two began a legendary battle. As soon as they started battling, countless scary eyes gazed at this battlefield, the weakest of whom were on par with these two.
Some of the spectators were beings that those who did not even notice were watching.
Origin Seal Continent:
Wu Hong appeared next to the Sword Empress.
"She's gone."
"Yes," replied the Sword Empress. "Worry about her?"
"Worry won't do anything."
"If you say so."
"What are you going to do?"
"Start reviving them."
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Wu Hong.
"Supreme Unity has been adamant about preventing them from returning; it could be argued it's his bottom line."
"Maybe you're right, but I cannot let that stop me from trying."
"Alright, but you still need to remain low-key. It's probably best not to return to your sect."
"That's what I was planning," nodded the Sword Empress before looking in the distance. "I'm still worried about the foreign invasions."
No cultivators like foreigners to invade their world and cause chaos. So, despite the current situation, she was worried about the state of the world.
"If the invasion is successful, the situation will indeed become more complicated," analyzed Wu Hong. "Right now, news of their fight should still be a secret. But once it's revealed, they will stop their temptation and send real powerhouses."
"Logically speaking, Supreme Unity should not let these people mess around in his territory. But who knows what he might do if he's pushed to a corner."
"The bigger picture is his ambition," continued Wu Hong. "Once he deals with his problem, the next step in his ascension of power should be to swallow the True Heavenly Dao of other Source Chaos Worlds.
"So, to prepare beforehand, he might use these invaders as pawns."
"Is that possible?"
"We don't know the limit of his Transcendence Method, but as long as there is a small possibility, we must prepare."
The Sword Empress groaned, "Was it alright for us to open the path of Transcendence?"
"Even if we didn't, someone else would have."
