Chapter 1762: Is Your Backyard Clean?

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Wang Wei did not need to think too long to figure out Maitreya’s plan: divide and conquer. A race like the Chaos Demon God is usually highly hierarchical and conservative. It’s not even their fault; the way they were created and their environment resulted in such a mindset. And because of their conservatism, change usually takes a long time and an immense catalyst.

Wang Wei could foresee the chaos Shenghuovi would bring to her people. She will become the leader of a new progressive group that believes their race should change and learn from human ideology to improve and grow. Unfortunately for her, change and new ideologies always challenge the power and status quo of the older generation, who are the ones in power.

The majority of the Chaos Demon Gods will reject her ideology and even her existence. The Chaos Demon Gods used to rule over the world, and during their time, humans probably didn’t even exist yet. How could they lower themselves to learn from such a new and weak race? Those conservative members will definitely reject Shenghuovi and denounce her.

Meanwhile, a few of her people — most likely the weaker ones, the ones who were only Primordial Chaos Saints during their life — will attach themselves to Shenghuovi as she represents the possibility of a brighter future. As the people who have suffered most under the old order, the conservatives will be more than willing to fight for the chance to change things and become the new rulers.

’And the final result will be a civil war which will weaken or at the very least, occupy the Chaos Demon Gods while the human race finishes settling themselves in the Transcendent Age,’ Wang Wei analyzed with a smile. ’When did Maitreya awaken the [Old Fox] Gene? Where was that version during Supreme Unity’s reign of terror?’

Wang Wei was both surprised and not surprised by Maitreya’s brilliance. As someone who invented the consent of [Incense Cultivation] and led the Buddhist Sect to suppress Taoism for countless yuan epochs, how can she be simple? How can she not be a master strategist? Maitreya’s strategic brilliance is probably on par with many Dao Overlords.

Unfortunately, she suffered the same problems as most intelligent non-Dao Lords: she was not molded by the Outlaw Trial. Throughout his cultivation journey, Wang Wei has relied on many things to ensure his absolute dominance over his peers and even over the world: his memories from Earth, his intelligence, and his charm. However, one of his greatest assets has always been his mindset.

The Supreme Outlaw Trial was the first time he was pushed to the brink of despair. Even Di Tian’s defeat did not make him despair. On the contrary, it only awakened the Li Clan’s love of battle hidden in his blood. The Supreme Outlaw Trial, on the other hand, functioned like a nexus event that happened during the formative years of a child, meaning it forever altered Wang Wei’s personality and mindset.

Because of the trial, the chances of Wang Wei letting his emotions dictate his actions are minimal. Because of the trial, Wang Wei is always aware of his true self, of his weakness, and never allows it to get the best of him. Because of the trial, Wang Wei never hesitates once he has decided; even if he regrets it later, he will continue on the path he has chosen.

As much as he doesn’t like to admit it, Wang Wei knew Grand Dao’s design of the Outlaw Trial had truly cultivated countless monsters for the Chaos Universe. Sadly for Grand Dao, she wishes to put a leash on these monsters and have them behave normally, contributing to the development of the universe. But monsters cannot be controlled. After understanding the nature of the world and the rules, how can she expect them to behave?

’Let’s leave Shenghuovi alone for now,’ Wang Wei thought. Since he understood Maitreya had already had her designed on her, he would not interfere lest he ruin her plans. Thinking about other Chaos Demon Gods, he was about to check on Lin Fan and Xu Shi when something occurred.

The Reverse Black Stone Array trembled, and another wave of the Obsession Spirit Army rushed out. Although their quantity was vastly inferior compared to the first wave, these people’s obsession seemed more potent and purer. They bypassed the Heaven and Earth Origin Cycle Array and fused with the remaining Saint Spirits, allowing them to resist the allure of the Life Gates.

"Are those obsessions created from the people Group A slaughtered?" Wang Wei muttered. He knew the simplest way to discover the Reverse Black Stone Array’s core was to slaughter all the people in the world and use the resentment and baleful aura to summon the core and destroy it. The other methods involved luck and destiny, which require time to conquer the world and condense it. So, what choice most of Group A chose was obvious. But now, this decision is coming back to hunt them down.

"The Infinite Divine Court has great understanding and mastery of the Power of Obsession," Wang Wei analyzed before sneering. "However, you’ve overplayed your hand." The second wave of attack reminded him of something: the court was not clean. Since they can play the emotional card called resentment, he could too.

Orders immediately flew from the command centers, and the Saints and Paragon Legions executed them. First, it was a temporary seal of these core worlds with Saint Obsession Spirits. The objective was not to deal with them, but to achieve temporary isolation to free these Saints so that Wang Wei could use them for the next step of the plan.

Once that was dealt with, Wang Wei used the Heaven and Earth Origin Cycle Array as a medium—not only to amplify his strength, but also to reduce the burden of controlling such power. That was the purpose of these Saints: batteries or placeholders, sharing the backlash for Wang Wei. No matter how powerful the array was, it did not change the fact that Wang Wei was only a Paragon. It’s one thing to use the array for its intended design of defense, but when it comes to using it for other purposes, there is always a price.

"Spirits of the past," Wang Wei’s voice echoed throughout this timeline. And with each pronunciation of these words, a tremendous vibration or force emanated from the artificial River of Time.

"The Infinite Divine Court preached of justice, fairness, and equality of all life, but the foundation of their society is still based on war and conquest. How many lives did they trample upon when they descended into this bright world? How much suffering occurred during their subjugation of this timeline?

"I call upon thee to awaken, slumbering souls, the ones whose obsession and resentment have been washed away by the tide of times. Your time of vengeance has arrived. Let the world once again feel your wrath."

As soon as these words spread, a grand change occurred between Heaven and Earth. Numerous obsession spirits in worlds across the entire timeline slowly materialized; it did not matter whether it was the Reverse Black Stone Array, the Heaven and Earth Origin Cycle Array, or the unoccupied worlds floating in Primordial Chaos. Then, under the light of that guiding voice, they rushed toward their enemy — their conqueror.

Boom!

World after world was destroyed. These obsession spirits did not care whether these worlds were the core of the Reverse Black Stone Array. They destroyed everything in their paths. Wang Wei watched with a smile on his face as the array core counter dramatically increased. In just a few seconds, they crossed the 97,000 mark, and the number never stopped rising.

Soon, all these resentments from failing soldiers and innocent people when the Infinite Divine Court first conquered Timeline NP89076H reached the 3800 Array Core Worlds. However, to Wang Wei’s surprise, they could not immediately enter. These spirits desperately tried to, and eventually, they probably would have, but for now, they were stopped outside the core area.

’It seems their array is better than ours,’ Wang Wei analyzed. ’Or, they are better adept at controlling obsessions and spirits than I am. It’s probably both.’

Compared to how easily these people penetrated the Heaven and Earth Origin Cycle Array’s core, Wang Wei saw how much he was lacking. However, he did not blame himself. After all, he was young, facing an old empire that had spread across countless universes.

Wang Wei reached to summon the communication talisman to relay orders to the Group A individuals who remained behind. "This is Command. I order all members of Group A to proceed to the next stage of laying out the spatial positionings. I also order you to open the door from the inside to let the obsession spirits in. I repeat, this is Command, and I —"

Boom!

A golden light descended from the sky and instantly vaporized these ancient Obsession Spirits. Wang Wei frowned. This was faster than anticipated. He had no doubt the court had ways to deal with his attack. After all, after so many years of conquest, it’s understandable that one of their enemies would have tried to use past karma or actions to topple the court; they probably had a ton of experience dealing with such scenarios. However, he never expected them to react so swiftly.

Wang Wei immediately decided to change strategy. However, before he could even open his mouth, a terrifying feeling descended on him — no, on the entire timeline. A sense of unparalleled dread overcame his mind, almost collapsing it. He activated his Saint Dao Heart to ease his situation, then took control of the command center to find the source. Then, his expression turned ugly when he saw what had happened.
