Chapter 1269 The Other Foundations

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

While dividing her mind into two to continue listening to the sermon, Wu Hong continued to deduce a better way to achieve the status of Immeasurable Emperor. In less than a second, her mind calculated a trillion possibilities, deducing countless ways for her plan. However, she did not like the solutions she came up with until the last one.

'This method is feasible, but it takes too long.' Her main issue was she did not have much time for that bastard to catch up to her, so it would be pointless to delay even more with a method that takes so long.

Wu Hong frowned until an idea flashed: 'How about I ask him?' She narrowed her eyes. It will reveal much about him depending on what he answers. So, she waited until the person after Immortal Venerable Six Swords finished their sermon to ask Wang Wei. She told him everything, including her deduction of the importance of the foundation at the Half-Step Transcendent Realm.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei looked at her with his mouth agape. He took a deep breath to calm down: "Let me see if I get this correctly: you were inspired to improve your foundation to prevent me from beating you, no, rightfully get my revenge. But now, you're asking me how to prevent fulfilling my lifelong dream?"

"How you summarize the situation makes it much more dramatic than it actually is."

"But it is this dramatic," Wang Wei said. "In my life, there is only one opponent I've never beaten, and it's you. And you expect me to help you continue beating me?" He did not hide his frustration, pain, and suffering. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"You're such a drama king," Wu Hong rolled her eyes. "So, what idea do you have?"

Wang Wei grunted as he caressed his temple. 'She definitely spied on me somehow. Should I bring it up? Forget it. There is no point in fighting for something like that.'

"Well, you can't use the causality-free clone — that's obviously a big pit." Wu Hong did not mention the downside of this method in detail, but Wang Wei could see it. He could deduce how many suckers suffered under this method.

A few of them probably thought they were clever and tried to use reincarnation to better hide their clone by giving them a recognized identity. However, that is another suicide move. They might be lucky if they successfully hide that clone from the Yama Kings, but if they do not, then they are screwed.

If any of these bastards have ever offended the Yama King or even gained their hostility for any reason, they can kiss that clone goodbye. And even if the Yama Kings don't do anything to it personally, they can just secretly release the news to the enemies of the original owner.

But that's not the worst of it. Even if they could hide it from the Yama Kings, could they hide it from the Samsara Cardinal? So, sending a causality-free clone through reincarnation is like sending your weakness to a higher being.

"However, as bad as the causality-free clone is to people like us, it's a great method to create pawns at a higher level," Wang Wei commented. If he were on the level of the Cardinals, he would spread these clones everywhere as pawns to do his bidding.

"Indeed," Wu Hong agreed. At that level, it's probably way easier to make those clones. More importantly, the backlash from them getting out of control probably serves no significant threat. They can probably use these clones to lure people into trying to create backlash for them.

"You still haven't answered my question," Wu Hong continued.

"Your best bet is to leave the primordial timeline," Wang Wei answered. "There won't be much as much backlash, and if you can find a timeline where I haven't become an Immeasurable Emperor, then you'll be set."

"The Myriad Origin Realms — why didn't I think of that," Wu Hong muttered. The Myriad Origin Realm, also known as the Infinite Trichiliocosm, was a place of endless wonders, and the rules were indeed less restricted, making it an excellent place for Wu Hong's work.

Wang Wei was not surprised she did not think about it. He had noticed the Paragons in the primordial timeline were isolationist, mostly ignoring the endless wonders and benefits of the multiverse. He doesn't know whether this results from a sense of superiority for being in the primordial timeline or because Grand Dao has secretly been doing things in the shadows or something else, but it is there.

"Thank you for your help," Wu Hong said brightly. Such an answer might appear small, but she knew how important it was. Throughout her long life, Wang Wei was not the first man who caught her attention. A few suitors have aroused her attention, but they all failed for one reason or another. The primary fault is that they usually envy her strength and talent.

These people wanted to bring her down instead of climbing to the same level as her. They didn't want an equal partner — they wanted a submissive wife. Specifically, they wanted to turn Wu Hong — with all her prestige, power, and glory — into a submissive wife.

"No problem," Wang Wei said as he closed his eyes. 'No, I cannot let this go on. I refused to be a Wife Dominated Emperor for my entire life. I must be on top once in my life by my own strength. Let's see: since she can improve her foundation, I can do it too. Where to begin?

'Since there is the Ten Supremacy Foundation, why can't there be things like Eleven Limit Foundation, Twelve Complete Foundation, and Thirteen Transcendent Foundation?'

[AN: I'm semi-satisfied with these names, but if you have better suggestions, I'm open to them.]

Numerous inspirations flashed into Wang Wei's mind.

'It's ridiculous to expect a mortal to have the strength of an Empyrean or Paragon. However, they can have Second, First, and Eternal Tier strengths. And the number seems to match perfectly.'

Ten Supremacy corresponded to the Third-Class Emperor, and Thirteen Transcendent Foundation correlated to the Eternal Emperor.

'Yes. I can follow her path of training someone with the Thirteen Transcendent Foundation, then re-establish my foundation, and seal and absorb their power to reduce the risk,' Wang Wei planned. He drooled thinking about the day she thought she was invincible, and he showed up with his newfound strength.

"I just thought of something, help me deduce it," Wang Wei said with a gentle smile. However, Wu Hong did not like that cocky smile, feeling something was about to happen. Her intuition was correct. After hearing Wang Wei's plan for new foundations, the only thing left in her mind was: 'This damn bastard!'

"What do you think?"

"It's feasible." She had to squeeze these words out of her mouth. It was already a time-sensitive issue for her to make up for those other foundations, but now there were more. It did not help that with the Mortalhood Trial, this bastard would enter the Paragon Realm too soon for her liking.

"Hehehe," Wang Wei chuckled. "Accept your fate of being dominated. Soon, you'll know what it's like to be in my shoes."

"You're too arrogant too quickly," Wu Hong snorted coldly. "Foundation is not everything as it represents more potential. There are many ways in this vast universe to make up the gap of strength."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," Wang Wei sneered. "Now, can you help me deduce if there are any potential problems with my idea?"

Wu Hong snorted coldly before closing her eyes and deducing. A few hundred years into the sermon, she opened her eyes, her complexion not looking good.

"What happened?" Wang Wei asked after noticing she had woken up.

"It's not as simple as you had imagined," Wu Hong stated. "You cannot just skip to the so-called Thirteen Transcendent Foundation. Instead, you must experience Dao Foundation Re-Establishment for each, and the difficulty will rise with each one, along with the chances of experiencing true death."

"Given how Grand Dao operates, I should have expected this," Wang Wei nodded. The risk would not stop him. "But why is your face like this? This news is not enough to rattle you — unless…" the smirk on his face was evident, and Wu Hong wanted to slap him.

She was annoyed because she would have to waste even more time now. Previously, she thought she could skip the Ten Supremacy Foundation and go directly to thirteen, but now, she knew this was impossible. In other words, she would have to waste even more time catching up.

'Should I focus on becoming a transcendent while he's reinforcing his foundation? No, that would be putting the cart before the wool.' According to her deductions, these foundations will bring immense benefits to the next realm, especially by combining the Thirteen Transcendent Foundation and the Perfection Foundation.

If she's correct, once they enter the realm with such a solid foundation, they'll be able to defeat at least ten people on the level of Maitreya and Supreme Unity, who used flawed methods, and five people who used flawless methods. And that's not counting the benefit of the Battle Taboo Realm.
