Chapter 1319 Arrange Marriage

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Wang Wei floated above the air, looking at this new environment. "Is this the Origin Seal Continent? This place is odd." As soon as he stepped into this world, he found his mind clear, and inspiration about different Daos flashed in his mind. He scanned this place with his divine sense. In terms of size, this continent was approximately 100 times larger than the lower dimension, which is considered small by the upper dimension's standard.

"It's extremely beneficial to cultivate in this place, but the reason for that is not an abundance of Dao Qi," Wang Wei muttered. The concentration of Dao Qi in this place was extraordinary, but it was not the main reason why it was so special. Wang Wei teleported to a forest nearby and started to play with the grass.

"No way," he muttered as he examined the trees, rivers, mountains, and animals. He then scanned the continent a second time, observing everything on a more profound level.

"What a brilliant method!" he praised. Everything on this continent was made of runes. From the grass to the trees, the clouds, the rain, the air, volcanoes, the ocean — everything was made from different runes, making this place the holy place for professionals. Just by observing a single tree in the Origin Seal Continent, these people can gain a deep understanding of [Wood Runes], [Vitality Runes], [Life Runes], and many more.

'Even the animals are composed of runes,' Wang Wei studied. 'She used [Essence Rune] to create the body, [Qi Rune] to give the body the life energy and other energies for the body to function, and finally, the [Spirit] Rune] created things like the mind, spirit, and soul.'

Such a method can be described as true creation, especially compared to the cheap Grandmist Wheel method. Wu Hong used her Dao to control other Daos, which in this case is Creation Dao. With such a method, it's no wonder she could compete for status with the Skill Dao Association.

'Is this a microcosm of the Eternal Ascension World? No, maybe the Chaos Universe?' Wang Wei immediately checked after having this idea. His eyes saw a gray river that ran through every fabric of this continent; this river was something he was familiar with, yet it was also different.

'A River of Fate created with Runes,' Wang Wei thought. It is common knowledge that [Runes] is the language of Grand Dao. But it was after today that he realized what these words truly meant. Wang Wei checked, and as expected, he saw the River of Time, a Source Qi Space, Heavenly Dao, and even Primordial Chaos — which surrounded this continent and served as a barrier or protection — and they were all created with runes.

"Wait, where is Samsara?" Wang Wei muttered. He searched, and he found it. "Did she steal power from the Yama Kings?" He could tell the Samsara of this continent was operating like any others. In other words, anyone who enters this continent will be under the jurisdiction of Wu Hong's Samsara instead of the ones controlled by Grand Dao and the Samsara Cardinal.

"I knew she was capable, but this is something else," Wang Wei sighed. "More importantly, she's so ballsy. Damn it, why did I find myself arose? Has it really been that long, or have I developed a new kink for capable women? I guess it isn't new."

Wang Wei shook his head to remove these complicated thoughts from his mind. He focused on the Origin Seal Continent. This was the perfect place for him to retreat. By studying this place's runes, he can significantly improve his Fate Domination Dao. As he was thinking about how best to utilize this new resource, the token he received from the Valkyrie vibrated, sending him a message of where to go next.

Wang Wei sighed before flying up, breaking through the barrier around this continent and entering the artificially created primordial chaos. Through the token, he soon found a magnificent palace that shocked Wang Wei to his core. The white palace was so beautiful and grand that he only thought of one thing: 'How rich is this woman?'

He had recognized many of the materials used to build this thing, but many of them were things he did not recognize — probably from other Chaos Worlds.

'The palace itself is probably a Paragon Artifact, and the formation engraved on them gives me the goosebump,' Wang Wei thought. He felt a deep sense of danger as he glanced at that palace. He also realized why these parasites never messed with this place. That artifact alone is probably enough to send all of them into Limbo.

The token served as an entrance pass, so Wang Wei soon found himself before a door. He rearranged his clothes, checked his hair, and straightened his posture before walking: "Future wife, have you missed me?"

The room immediately entered a state of awkwardness. Wu Hong — who was somberly looking through the window — glanced at him for a few seconds before continuing her stargazing. Wang Wei's lips twitched. 'I didn't do anything, right? I even boldly but subtly showed her the state of my karmic line to prove my loyalty.' He secretly sighed. Even dating back on Earth was not this hard. He walked next to her and also star-gaze.

The sight before him was indeed beautiful as it showed the birth of a universe with all its stars, planets, galaxies, and many cosmic wonders. Then, the universe dies before restarting. The entire process takes place in just a few minutes. In other words, these two used the creation and destruction of a universe as something to star-gaze, something to appreciate.

After watching this scene for the third time, Wang Wei said: "Come on, use your words. We are all adults, so if you have an issue, let's discuss it." A common dating advice on the internet from Wang Wei's previous life was: communication is vital in any relationship. That is indeed sound advice, but how many people can effectively use it? Not to mention that this advice rarely mentions that knowing how to communicate is as important, if not more important, than communicating itself.

"Something has been on my mind," Wu Hong said calmly. "Why did you accept the relationship so easily? It's apparent to anyone that you, of all people, would reject any form of [Fated Love]. Yet, from her memories, besides some insignificant reservations, you quickly accepted that marriage."

Wu Hong looked at him:

"It can't be because of 'love at first sight,' rational people like us don't buy into such a thing. So, why did you do it? Since you've accepted it once, why not accept it a second time?"

"That's an interesting question and one I've thought about a lot before," Wang Wei replied. "And the answer is much simpler than you think. Before the Supreme Outlaw Trial, my relationship was pretty good. She was like a doting mother, and I was like a rebellious child who did not want to follow in their parent's footsteps or arrangement for the future."

"What a strange analogy," Wu Hong said with a frown.

"I know, but it's the best way to explain it," Wang Wei continued. "Continue."

"After the trial, well, my mind was more open, and I was even more rebellious. Then, things went sour after learning about my status as a Fate Seed. Before those events, I saw our situation as an arranged marriage.

"My loving and doting mother — Fate — chose a wonderful woman for me, and after meeting her and seeing how beautiful, compassionate, capable, and compatible we were, I accepted it. Of course, I'm still the rebellious son. Just because I accepted it once doesn't mean I'll accept it a second time. Then, our relationship worsened, and there was no longer room for reconciliation."

Wu Hong took a moment to process these words: "Such a strange way to explain the situation, yet it still makes sense," she nodded. "So, did you feel any instant connection after meeting her?"

"Not all," Wang Wei shook his head. "On the contrary, I feel our relationship is an ill-fated one. That girl will suffer immensely in her life if she gets with me."

"Oh?" Wu Hong felt he was not saying these words without any basis. "Tell me more." She motioned for him to sit down before serving tea. Wang Wei felt relaxed, and it was not only because the tea was refreshing but also because the tension in the room had dissipated.

So, he told his future wife everything that happened during his meeting with Xun Junyao, including his conjectures about his transcendent ability to influence the chessboard. He also told her about his conversation with Emperor Kong, mainly his conjecture about [Transcendent Factions], and that the Academy was chosen for one of the spots.

"What do you think?"

"About what specifically?" Wu Hong asked. He had said many things, and some she needed time to digest.

"Let's start with recruiting Xun Junyao," Wang Wei answered.
