1123 Death World
After Wang Wei's departure, Xu Shi rushed to the Star World Beast World Community, even making a show entrance. She headed directly to Ji Lanfang's prison to free him, almost killing the Void Mirror Emperor. Then, the two began a mindless slaughter.
Not long after their actions, news about the Fate Shadow Guards's actions was transmitted to the battlefield, shocking many people. All the surviving powerhouses had one thought - they must return home to protect their lineage or foundation. As such, these people began to rush out of the battlefield, making everything chaotic.
Deng Qiang tried to control the situation, but it was pointless. These people cared more about their homeworld than this battlefield, especially since a majority of them were more "allies" of commerce than direct subordinates.
Tie Gang and the War Room would not miss such an opportunity and ordered the few remaining troops to counterattack. The powerhouses on Wang Wei's side went on a field day as they began to massacre those retreating people with low morale.
Commerce Hub Headquarters:
Wang Wei calmly watched everything proceeding, his eyes focusing on a specific group of people. They were the first to receive the news and quickly retreated as they sensed the plot behind this war.
'It's time,' thought Wang Wei, who no longer hesitated before swallowing an Illusory Pill, temporarily reaching the strength of an Empyrean. Then, he started to follow the people of the Corpse Selling Sect. The process was as easy as he anticipated.
These people scattered in different directions, each headed to the real "Headquarters." Moreover, each of these decoys was located in different World Communities, in extreme places, in well-hidden dimensions, and there were so many identification methods that made the security level a nightmare.
Wang Wei was almost discovered a few times since he had to use his divination when he lost the main trail, and the Corpse Selling Sect had terrifying Anti-Divination Abilities that used the power of Death. However, the one mistake these people, or their founder, Death Reverence, could not account for was human error.
No matter how good of a job Death Reverence did to hide the real foundation of his sect, it would not change the fact that humans were using them, and as we all know, humans are flawed. Wang Wei used this concept to his advantage; he was patient and chose his move carefully. His actions were then rewarded. During this chase, he found most of the hidden layers of the Corpse Selling Sect before finding the real one.
"What is this?" muttered Wang Wei, his eyes concentrated. His eyes discovered a well-hidden dimension, and after finding it, saying he was shocked to his core would be an understatement. The dimension was vast and definitely bigger than the entire lower dimension. Wang Wei was not too sure because he knew he would immediately be detected if he entered.
'Worst, I might be killed.' His sense of danger was going overdrive, so he did not dare rush in. 'Could it be that Death Reverence would show up if I venture inside and destroy this place? No, Death Reverence was still in Limbo, and even if he were already resurrected, True Heavenly Dao would never allow for his interference. Even if we achieved Half-Step Transcendence, Maitreya and Supreme Unity would never allow him to interfere in this place.'
This could only mean the source of the danger was something else, most likely the terrifying amount of Death Energy in that world. The Corpse Selling Sect must have gathered this energy from wars and conflicts across the entire lower dimensions for countless eras before condensing them in this world.
'Why do they need such a vast amount? Is it really because of their cult-like worship of death?' Wang Wei did not believe this for a second. His intuition was telling him that something more sinister was at play here.
'The Death Qi might be the key to the Death Ceremony. Hong'er said they've left protection against the Ceremony, but are things so simple? She also said that Death Reverence knew methods that could push the limits or boundaries of True Heavenly Dao. What if he found a way around that formation?'
Although this theory leaned on the lower end statistically, the fact that it was not completely zero was a problem in itself.
'No, the probability of that occurring is not as low as I imagined if I take into account that he benefited in some ways from the Ultimate Taboo,' thought Wang Wei, pushing his brain to the limit for his analysis. Assuming Death Reverence took a step into transcendence or got some benefits, it's entirely possible for him to find a way around the protection left by the Paragons.
'Now that the upper dimension is weak, who knows if anyone is keeping watch of these methods, and that's assuming these parasites did not destroy them,' continued Wang Wei. 'The last piece of this puzzle is Maitreya and Supreme Unity. Logically speaking, they would not allow such a thing to occur, but why have they not dealt with this Death World knowing the implications behind its existence?'
Supreme Unity is the last person who would want the Eternal Ascension World destroyed, so it made sense for him to remove such an obvious threat or unwelcome variables.
'Maitreya must be the one who stopped him, but why? Could it be that she's really a three-faced individual who's pretending that she did something wrong but was good, but that's just the first two layers of her facade, and deep down, she was truly evil?'
Wang Wei shook his head to remove his bias and untrustworthiness to ward her and think more logically.
'The most likely scenario is they did not get rid of this world to lure Death Reverence, or there is something valuable inside this Death World, so they've been balancing each other, preventing the others from getting their hands on it.'
Wang Wei looked at this Death World, deep in thought. If he only wanted to destroy the Corpse Selling Sect because of his greed for their Qi Luck, now, he wanted to do so because they posed a far greater threat to the Eternal Ascension World and, more importantly, the lower dimension where his friends and sect is located. So, he must get rid of them no matter what - even if it means ruining the two suns' plan to lure Death Reverence.
'Now is not the time.' He must wait until he archives true Empyrean Strength to ensure no issue. By then, even if Death Reverence tries to stop him, his methods will be limited as he will have to deal with the suns and True Heavenly Dao.
Wang Wei silently teleported away back to the headquarters. The war was about to be settled, but his mind was not focused on that as of yet.
"Sir Chen Tong, can we have a word," uttered Wang Wei, then Chen Tong appeared before him. "You saw it?"
"I did," nodded Wang Wei. "Can you tell me what you know?"
"I don't know much," replied Chen Tong. "After my death, I came to the lower dimension, which was a safer place, to gather luck and merit to revive myself. I noticed the Death World and investigated, but it was nothing but a world full of Death Qi."
Wang Wei frowned, "Are you saying I'm overthinking and that thing is just a normal world full of death energy?"
"No, you're not," replied Chen Tong. "After the Ultimate Taboo, I suddenly had the idea to investigate and did so." Chen Tong paused. "Well, I know I detected something in that world, but I don't know what it is."
"You don't know? As in your knowledge could not identify it or..."
"My memories were wiped out," Chen Tong explained.
"Hmm, that is odd." These words reinforced his thought that Death Reverence changed or improved after the Ultimate Taboo.
But is Death Reverence so capable? I assumed you were a peak Paragon, even if not Boundless. But he can so easily wipe your memory?"
"No, the process was weird, and definitely not only because his strength surpasses mine."
"You have a point," nodded Wang Wei, who did not completely buy Chen Tong's explanation as the latter might be adding stuff to make him look better and protect his pride.
"Well, thank you for answering my question."
"Are you going to destroy it?"
"That's the plan," nodded Wang Wei.
"You should be more careful. Although I've only met Death Reverence twice, he always gave me the creeps."
"I will," nodded Wang Wei, his eyes focused as he watched Chen Tong disappear. 'This man is not simple.' From what he knew and deduced, people in Limbo should not be able to interact so easily and freely with the world of the living. Meanwhile, Chen Tong acted as if he was a projection of a genuine body instead of an existence between life and death.
"Sect master," said Wang Ju, who appeared in the room.
"How was the operation?"
