1020 Null Era Secrets

"Have you heard of the Abyss Gap?"

Tong Ruobing immediately frowned, "Know a little. It's one of the few Forbidden Lands of the Endless Void." She has read some of the Star Monarch Mountain records and saw the Abyss Gap information. However, no records revealed what secrets lay in that place.

"I need you to enter and get me some useful information," said Wang Wei, who waved his hand to send her a jade talisman. "This talisman will grant you my pinnacle strength. Use it before entering and get me some valuable information about that gap."

Tong Ruobing looked at the talisman, "Can I have some time to prepare?"

"Of course, but don't take too long."

Tong Ruobing bowed before disappearing; she had a lot of work to do. First, she needed to cultivate a decent clone to prevent the same mistake from happening. This process took over a year, and once she finished, she returned to the Star Beast World.

"What happened?" asked Mu Lei, who sensed her early departure and sent a projection to check on her. Tong Ruobing sighed before telling him everything.

"Why are you being so stupid now of all time?"

grunted Mu Lei. "Offer him high-level positions in our court: why take such risk?"

"No, I absolutely will now allow his tentacles to spread to this world," rebuked Tong Ruobing, making Mu Lei sigh. "My retreat is almost over.

Wait for me, and I'll replace you."

"No need. Since this is my mess, I'll clean it up."

Tong Ruobing refused without hesitation; she did not want to put him in this kind of danger.

"Plus, things are not so bad."

"Not so bad? Do you know how dangerous the Abyss Gap is? Thousands of Emperors from all classes have sealed this thing, but the aura released from it has always managed to corrode the seal. Heaven knows what horror would exit that thing if not re-sealing it every generation."

Tong Ruobing was silent as she looked at the talisman in her hand, "This is indeed a catastrophe, but it's also an opportunity."

Anything related to Wang Wei is both danger and an opportunity, she has long known this, hence why she never kept her distance away from him, knowing how scary he was.

"With this talisman and some preparation, the worst thing that can happen is entering Limbo."

Mu Lei's projection looked her in the eyes, and knew he could not change her decision; those eyes were when she would be stubborn. So, he sighed deeply before saying: "I will prepare for your possible revival."

Tong Ruobing did not immediately enter the Abyss Gap but searched for as much information as possible regarding it from the Commerce Hub.

Finally, she activated the talisman and entered.

Myriad Emperor World, Heavenly Court:

Wang Wei opened his eyes as he felt the talisman's disappearance. His eyes twinkled as he waited with anticipation. When he was about to return to his retreat, he received news from Wang Ju. A moment later, she appeared in the room.

"Finished?"

"Yes," she replied before handing Primordial Desolate's memories and Wang Wei viewed them.

Primordial Desolate was a talented and unique Primordial God for a few reasons. During the war, the Innate Demon Gods realized they needed to change, adapt, and evolve to have an ounce of chance to win or survive this war: they knew their old and consecutive ways were not enough.

This idea resulted in the project to create the Demon Race, a subservient acquired race that could acquire the Heaven Will in worlds that abandoned their kind.

Another creation of that mindset was [Project Evolution]. The Innate Demon Gods knew their strict hierarchical society and civilization were burdens in this war, especially when compared to humans' large population and ability for unlimited growth.

After this experience, Wang Wei finally believed his ancestors, the Heaven Opening Emperor, words that he was not as bad as history portrayed him. And that's because the latter should have been a Paragon by the time Qiyuan ascended.

Qiyuan would never have had a chance if a Paragon was after him, especially since he had no foundation in the upper dimension.

"You did a good job," said Wang Wei to Wang Ju.

"As long as I can help you."

Wang Wei nodded, "Is there anything else?"

"I want to know your intentions with the Commerce Hub."

"Are you asking why I did not immediately attack them?"

"Yes. It's not like you," nodded Wang Ju.

"Your words explained why I'm not doing it,"

replied Wang Wei. "People know I don't like to face any loss, so it's obvious what my next step should be after the previous attack-retaliate against it."

Wang Wei smiled after he said these words. As a master of fate, he understood its manifestation is often very simple: a person's fate is the combination of their behavior patterns developed during their life. If someone knows someone well enough, they can predict the latter's fate by knowing how they will act or make decisions.

"Are you worried they will be prepared for an attack?"

"Even if they were prepared, it would not make a difference," explained Wang Wei. "My concern is they make it difficult for me to control the commerce."

The hub was a business, and using brute force to control was useless. Plus, Wang Wei was greedy and needed it perfectly intact when he controlled it.

"So, we are going to let them scott-free?"
