"Calm down," Wu Hong said as she wiped out the blood from her nose, which refused to stop bleeding. A few needles appeared all over her body, followed by an intense power of life entered from the continent’s Samsara Grand Construct, trying to help with the situation.
"Don’t tell me you actually want this title?" Wang Wei asked, remembering who his wife was; she had a love for the spotlight and showing the world how great she was. "Love of my life, my other half, this is not the time to be acting based on personal preference. On the contrary, this is the time to act with cold logic."
"Normally, I would agree with you, but have you forgotten what Maitreya said about the Pillar Foundations?"
Wang Wei frowned.
"The title of Strongest Primal should be a great achievement to add to my list. And after I sanctify, you can take it yourself."
Wang Wei ignored her subtle implications: "Are you ready for the consequences? These invaders..."
"This is not the first time this will happen." During the Second Origin War, she was also at the top of the Assassination List, ranking only below Qiyuan, who was the center of everything.
"This won’t be like the second war. We don’t even know how high the power ceiling involved in this war will be."
"And you think that wasn’t the case in our war?" Wu Hong rebutted.
"You know it’s not the same," Wang Wei sighed. There were likely many Primordial Saints involved in the Second Origin War, but the primary difference is that they did not appear publicly for one reason or another. But the disaster will be different. At its core, this is a war to open up the Transcendent Age, and these entities will start appearing as if they were common dogs in the street.
"Every war has its inherent danger, and this one will also be the same," Wu Hong said. "And do you think I was not already on an assassination list?" Time Eater has been feeding the invaders information for a long time, meaning that before Maitreya and Heavenly Dao created the [History Luck], these people knew of the cultivators with the most tremendous potential who could grow up to cause problems.
"Fine; it seems I can’t change your mind on this matter."
Wu Hong caressed his face. "I understand your instinct to protect me, but don’t forget we are cultivators with our own path. While you chose to be a behind-the-scenes puppeteer for this disaster, I chose to challenge myself and sublimate."
"I understand."
"Good."
"How is your condition?" Wang Wei asked.
"The backlash is not as bad as I thought." After observing her [Existence], Wu Hong used the acupoint technique for target healing. The combination of the pill she bought and the artificial construct did wonders. An idea occurred to her, and she looked at the crown before her, accepting the title.
Heaven and Earth celebrated, but Wang Wei was not happy. He almost wanted to reclaim his Human Emperor Position and bestow the title of the strongest dynasty upon Qin as retaliation. However, he knew this would not work. While these Karmic Positions had the power to grant people titles and blessings, they also needed to be acknowledged by Heavenly Dao. In other words, Ying Zheng’s plan would not have worked if Heavenly Dao had not thought Wu Hong could be the destiny or luck of the Primal Title.
The purest of power from Heaven and Earth entered her body to bless her, and she immediately guided it to the spots in her [Existence] that were severely affected by the backlash. Then, a small part of her white Qi Luck Dragon — about 1% — turned translucent, signaling that she had a bit of Transcendent Luck just like her husband.
However, just like him, Wu Hong did not care much. The last thing any decent cultivator would do is rely on luck for their transcendent path. Just having such a mindset meant the cultivator was not ready for the path ahead.
Wang Wei sighed in relief when she stopped bleeding. Then, his previous anger suddenly returned in even greater intensity. "It’s all Ying Zheng’s fault."
"If you have the opportunity to kill him, contact me, and I’ll help," Wu Hong replied as color returned to her rosy cheeks.
"Good. The next time, we’ll team up to annihilate him," Wang Wei nodded. Wu Hong slowly stood and stretched.
"Where are you going?"
"I need to show myself and control the situation." Everybody on the continent knew how important her existence was, so while they were joyous that she was victorious and even received a title, it would be great for morale if she showed up.
"Now that you mentioned this, I also need to check on the sect. We’ll meet later?"
"It’s a date. And don’t forget to thank Qiyuan for the support. Tell him I’ll come with gifts after I settle everything."
"I will."
