Chapter 1377 Luck Manifestation
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Wang Wei asked directly.
Jia Ping pondered how to explain his situation and realized it was better to be direct: "I need blood, to be precise, Paragon Blood."
"Is it just blood? That's not an issue," Wang Wei replied. "But can I ask what you need it for?"
"No, I need to get myself."
Wang Wei looked at him: "Is this about Mongke? Do you feel pressure and want to prove yourself? There is no need for that. Mongke is more an ally than a subordinate, so once he returns to his clan, you will be my right-hand man. There is no need to compete with him."
"Hmmm, no, well, I do feel pressure with Mongke's strength, but this has nothing to do with why I want the blood."
"So, this is about your Double Pupil," Wang Wei realized.
"That's right. The process for the Third Awakening requires me to fight a Paragon for at least 10 minutes and draw its blood."
Wang Wei frowned after hearing this. He was not as stupid or frivolous as when he had just ascended; he knew how powerful even the weakest Paragons were, so he was not confident in Jia Ping's objective.
"Do you have to awaken it now? Can't you wait until you've become a Paragon?"
"I can, but the requirements will be more severe, and the potential of my eyes won't be as good as if I did it now."
"I see." Wang Wei remembered reading how the process of awakening these physiques was similar to a test or trial from Heavenly Dao, so it made sense why Jia Ping's test was as such.
"I think I can find a way, but you'll have to wait," Wang Wei replied. "Additionally, you'll need more training." The last thing he wanted was for Jia Ping to die because he knew nothing about Chrono Spirits while fighting another Paragon.
"I'll set up a training program for you in the Void Illusion Realm. We'll talk again once you meet the requirements."
"Wouldn't that take too long?"
"Are you underestimating Paragons?" Wang Wei rebutted. "Didn't you see that Mongke suffered a loss despite having the strength of a Paragon? I will increase your strength artificially, meaning you can't afford to make any mistakes. Understand?"
"Excuse me, lord, it seems I'm not in the right mindset."
"It's fine," Wang Wei said. "It should be ready in a few hours."
Wang Wei disappeared while Jia Ping returned to his work. Wang Wei's genuine body had a pondering expression as he gazed in the distance. "The Qi Luck Dragon of the mortal civilization should have already been condensed, but I can't detect it in any way. It seems Heavenly Dao took them seriously."
This was good news for Wang Wei as this was further proof that Heavenly Dao had regained much more strength in this fight. The destruction of the lock might be a turning point in this whole thing.
"No, this is not just condensation, but manifestation and prosperity," Wang Wei continued to observe and analyze. The fact that Du Cong's group successfully escapes the shackles of their civilization is proof of mortals' luck manifesting in the form of advancement and prosperity.
"Let's check on the others to see," Wang Wei muttered. His first visit was to the Puppet Demon. As expected, this group was influenced by him and started developing puppetry. The mortals in that world have applied Wang Wei's method to mass-produce puppets to create enormous legions. Furthermore, they have also built a Tier 5 Puppet Prototype, but theirs is still not fully functional.
The group under the Poison Demon was even more exaggerated. Their focus has been on Rune Herbology, and they have developed countless medicines and poisons. Their two most significant achievements were a medicine that increased the upper limit of a mortal's lifespan by another 300 years and a Tier 6 poison.
Wang Wei was surprised by this discovery and wondered why no one reported this to him, and he had an answer. These people accidentally created that Tier 6 Poison, and all other efforts to recreate it have failed. They've recently managed to refine a lesser version, which is Tier 5, and wanted to wait until they had cracked the formula before telling him.
Wang Wei was skeptical and thought the Poison Demoness was secretly responsible for this "accident." He had specifically ordered his people to be allowed to share their knowledge with their groups, but no direct interference was permitted. However, after checking, he discovered it was indeed an accident. Of course, to someone on his level, this "accident" was nothing but the manifestation of this civilization's luck and destiny.
The next group Wang Wei checked on was the one supervised by the Curse Master. The latter did influence that civilization, but not by allowing these mortals to make groundbreaking advancements in Curse Dao.
Curse Dao was a unique law involving cause and effect, meaning it was one of the side-door Daos associated with fate. The entry requirement for this Dao is very high, meaning that mortal civilization couldn't have high enough accomplishments in just over 350 years. However, that did not deter them from making progress. These mortals had a different approach: since they could not curse people, they would develop ways to protect themselves from curses. The Curse Demon provided enough knowledge, and they built from there.
Wang Wei was satisfied with this group's approach. Cultivators have many strange methods of killing, and he was confident that the mortals had the most basic defense. So, after encouraging them, he left for the next stop. The Bloodline Gang Lord's group studied how to control and use demons and other races for battles. However, their results were subpar compared to the others, and after finding out it was because that bastard was not doing his job well regarding sharing his knowledge, Wang Wei beat him up and told him he would die the next time he came, and there was so little progress.
"Ever since the Grandmist Gang Lord died, this bastard has lost his edge," Wang Wei sneered. If he had not been short on people right now, he would have killed that bastard for wasting his time. "Alright, there is no point in getting upset. Let's check the last stop."
"Lord, has the news already spread?" The Flesh Demon asked.
"What news?" "Isn't that why you're here?"
"It seems something good has happened," Wang Wei commented. "Show me." Wang Wei followed him to a lab and met the leader Sun Longwei.
"Sir, I present our greatest achievement — the Life Core Rune. Once implanted in our people, we can expand our lifespan to as high as 5000 years, and this is just the first generation. We project that the lifespan limit can reach as high as 10,000 years."
"13,690 years — that should be the absolute limit of mortal lifespan," Wang Wei commented. "However, you have failed to see the true purpose of your discovery."
"True purpose?" Sun Longwei asked.
"Cultivators can use it."
"Why would we want them to use our things?"
'A radical?' Wang Wei thought as he looked at them. "Don't you remember why they are hunting you down in the first place?"
"Limited lifespan," Sun Longwei muttered before looking at the projection showing the first-generation Life Core Rune. "This was not a coincidence, was it?"
"You're smart," Wang Wei replied calmly. "My methods of extending their lifespan failed miserably due to outside influence. However, this method should have a higher chance of success, and someone just used you to disseminate this method."
"Heavenly Dao," Sun Longwei muttered. He looked at this thing, lost in thought for at least half a minute. "So, what now?"
"Continue your research and complete this thing as soon as possible. I'll order the other groups to provide you with more assistance and resources to ensure this project's completion," Wang Wei responded.
"Since this is vital, can't you take over the research to ensure it's done as quickly as possible?" Sun Longwei said. His words showed his caring nature, but Wang Wei could tell he simply did not partake in this project that would benefit the people he so deeply despised and even hated.
"Do you think things are as simple as they appeared?" Wang Wei sighed. "This project represents your civilization's contribution to the world. Once you finish and it's publicized, Heavenly Dao can offer you more luck and destiny and better protect you from extinction. In other words, it's imperative you finish the work yourself. Understand? "Don't let your emotions affect your people. Remember what I said when I trained you — you are a leader before everything else."
"I understand," Sun Longwei said.
Wang Wei tapped his shoulder before walking out with the Flesh Demon. "You did an excellent job."
"I didn't do anything."
"I doubt they would be able to have today's achievement without your knowledge about the flesh."
"I'm just a pawn."
"Not everyone is worthy to be a pawn," Wang Wei commented. "Do you want any particular rewards?"
"I want the [12 Revolution Fiendgod Body]." Ever since the boss forced him to become a proper body refiner, the Flesh Demon has been lusting after that technique since he heard about it.
"Ambitious, aren't we?" Wang Wei chuckled. "Unfortunately, that technique is considered a semi-clan technique. However, although I can't give you my version, I can give you the original along with some Tier 11 Fiendgod Blood."
"Deal," Flesh Demon agreed.
"You can find Wang Qi for your reward," Wang Wei said before leaving.
