Chapter 1578: The Grand Unified Will

"How are the negotiations with the Divine Faith Heaven?" Old Man Black Chess suddenly asked, looking at a middle-aged man dressed in martial clothes, short hair, a goatee, and a scar on his cheek.

"It’s going well," Paragon Red Ax answered. "These gods seemed eager for the alliance."

"If you have something to say, say it," Old Man Black Chess said.

"Are you sure about this? You know how some of these gods can be. Are you sure we can get along with them?" Red Ax asked. The problem with the Divine Path was not just the negative effect of faith, but also the fact that these gods spent eons with trillions of people worshiping and telling them that they were the best thing that Heaven and Earth had created. Such an environment makes them highly susceptible to becoming narcissists, arrogant, or prideful.

"Did you notice something during your meeting?"

"Yes. A few of them were looking at us as if we were their new property."

Old Man Black Chess squinted."So, you think we should ally with the Skill Path Association instead?"

"Honestly, I don’t trust these people as well. It’s obvious they want to use us to farm resources for them," Red Axe shook his head.

"That’s exactly their goal, and they didn’t try to hide it," Old Man Black Chess said as he moved a few more pieces.

"If you know this, then why are we considering allying with them?"

"They have their goals, and we have ours," Old Man Black Chess said. The primary thing he wants from the alliance is to use the Skill Path Association to cultivate a few professionals for the exchange hall’s inner member, which Old Man Black Chess will eventually take away.

"What do you want me to do?" Red Axe asked. Their leader has rarely been wrong in these situations, so he — along with many others — trusted the latter’s decision.

"We need allies, but we also don’t want to be graveling. So, we will use the existence of one to get more out of the negotiation with the other," Old Man Black Chess said. Once the Divine Faith Heaven knows the hall has an opportunity to ally with the association, Old Man Black Chess can use this opportunity to bargain for more resources and power in their negotiation. He can also use the same tactic for the association.

"But you need to be discreet," Old Man Black Chess continued. "The last thing we need is for the other Overlords or the Primal Lineages to hear of this alliance."

"You know you can count on me," Red Axe nodded.

Sage Rune Halo was a handsome middle-aged man with thick, black hair streaked with white on the sides. His black beard was short, only 4 inches from his chin, but it also had streaks of white on the side. He wore a deep blue robe with powerful shoulder pads that made his already 7-foot-tall presence even more intimidating. Runes formed a semicircle from one of his shoulders to another, forming a halo behind him.

He slowly flew to the designated area, where he saw Wang Bo already waiting.

"Sage," Wang Bo cupped his hand to salute.

Rune Halo calmly nodded to him, not out of respect for the latter’s skill, but because of who he represented. Wang Bo did not mind since he already knew the world of professionals was very elitist and hierarchical.

And nothing showed that when Wu Hong arrived. Sage Rune Halo’s poster became straighter, and he was the first one to salute Wu Hong. "We don’t have much time, so let’s get started."

Wu Hong summoned an artifact in the shape of a cube and activated it. The two then teleported to a desolate world with an enormous spatial gap in the sky. As soon as they laid eyes on it, they held their breath merely due to the leaking aura.

"Is this the power of a Primordial Saint?" Sage Rune Halo muttered, looking at the spatial tear with awe and longing. He was not the only one. Wu Hong and Wang Bo knew that transcendents were powerful, but it was something else to face their power.

’When I used the Dao Quintessence, my strength was probably only on par with three Foundation Pillars, and most of the boost was from the Human Destiny Sword. Alone, I’m probably on par with Supreme Unity and Maiteya pre-foundation reinforcement,’ Wu Hong analyzed.

"Alright, let’s focus," Wu Hong said, waking up everybody from their awe. They received this item to gain a better understanding of the devastating power of Primordial Saints and to design a way to deal with the aftermath.
