Chapter 1321  Transcendent Faction Analysis

"Seven, and if you add those two, a total of nine," Wu Hong replied without hesitation.

"So much?"

"You underestimate what it means to be half the universe's destiny center," Wu Hong calmly explained. "Had we truly become the center, it would probably be enough to cultivate 33 factions, and I'm talking about factions — not individuals."

A faction can have multiple Half-Step Transcendents. For example, if Xun Junyao joins the Origin Seal Continent, they'll have at least two. Meanwhile, the Dao Opening Sect is full of talents capable of reaching that realm, and with all of Wang Wei's ideas, they have a bright future ahead.

"Nine factions," Wang Wei uttered. "Buddhism and Taoism already have a spot. Emperor Kong represents the Literary Way and the Academy." Taoism, Buddhism, and the Literary Way are the three most prominent and widespread religions/philosophy/schools of thought in the Chaos Universe, usually known as the trifecta.

"Although my ancestor went rogue, he is the main contributor to the Eternal Ascension World's destiny and prosperity. Heavenly Dao must pay that karma, so a place will go to us." Wang Wei looked at Wu Hong.

"It must give you a spot," Wang Wei continued. "You can reach that level without the help of destiny, and knowing you probably hold a grudge for what happened with the Curse Master, this might be the best way to appease you."

"That may be one of the considering factors, but not the greatest one," Wu Hong shook his head. "I'll get a spot due to the destiny of Profession Dao. Without how the Origin Seal Continent operates, it will be easier for us to train Transcendent Tier Professions."

"Indeed," Wang Wei nodded. Once Wu Hong reaches the next realm and creates [Transcendent Runes], the Origin Seal Continent will reach a, well, transcendent level among all professions.

"Don't get cocky," Wang Wei warned. "Once Yan Liling achieves Half-Step Transcendent, you'll lose your monopoly over [Transcendent Runes]."

"That girl is indeed talented, but I've never been afraid of any challenges," Wu Hong replied calmly. "Not to mention how much I'll achieve by the time she reaches our realm."

"True," Wang Wei sighed. He regretted not bringing Yan Liling and Li Jun with him to the upper dimension. He did not truly understand how terrifying a late start was in the upper dimension. Sadly, the lower dimension was blocked, so he could not even contact them and warn them to find a way to escape their sentences and ascend as soon as possible. Wang Wei shook his head to remove these thoughts from his mind.

"That's five spots, leaving four. Who else?"

"There is probably a spot for a dynasty," Wu Hong continued: "The way of Fortune Dynasty protects ordinary mortals, so Heavenly Dao might give them a spot."

"Yes, with all these transcendent beings existing in one world, it's a good idea to have one whose interest is invested in protecting the mortals," Wang Wei agreed. "So, do you think the Great Qin will have a spot?"

"He'll probably be granted an opportunity to fight for it but not granted it directly," she replied.

"Oh?"

"The Human Emperor is a great emperor, but he's not the ideal one," Wu Hong explained. "The ideal emperor is Yang Ze, the Saint Emperor of the Great Wen Divine Dynasty. He practices the way of [Holy Emperor], also called the [Compassion Emperor]."

"Saint Emperor — a ruler that is a saint to his people but a tyrant to his enemy," Wang Wei muttered. He had read about the Saint Emperor and the Great Wen Dynasty. They were part of the dynasty alliance supported by other overlords to balance the power and influence of the Great Qin Saint Court.

"Such a man is indeed the ideal candidate," Wang Wei nodded. As a Holy Emperor, it is in his best interest to ensure the safety and prosperity of mortals, which should reassure Heavenly Dao to give him a spot. No matter how weak and insignificant mortals are, they are the sources of talent for all factions. However, once these transcendent factions rise, the mortals might become endangered. The higher the cultivators, the more indifferent they are to mortals, and this situation should worsen once Half-Step Transcendence begins to show up. Not to mention how devastating the slightest confrontation between these beings will be to even Paragons, let alone mortals. As such, it's in Heavenly Dao's best interest to choose a faction dedicated to protecting them.

"Sadly, he's too weak," Wang Wei sighed. The Saint Emperor was only a peak Paragon—not a primal. Although he had an overwhelmingly positive image, deep connections, and excellent influence, this did not change the fact that he was weak.

"There is still hope for him," Wu Hong said. "As long as he can use his experience from the taboo to become primal, use his charisma and influence to control the alliance, he might be able to compete for the spot with secret support from the other overlords."

"You don't sound like you have a high enough faith in him," Wang Wei said.

"Although I don't like him, I must admit that Ying Zheng is a capable man with deep plans and many secrets," Wu Hong replied honestly. After so many years of interacting and competing with that man, she only finds out his origin goes back to the Prehistoric World through her connection with Wang Wei — that's how deep he hides.

"How much of a chance do you think the Saint Emperor has?"

"Probably 30%."

"So low?" Wang Wei frowned.

"Yang Ze has an unparalleled talent for governance that no other rulers can match," Wu Hong explained. "Most dynasties rely on their vast and extended territories to gather luck, but he primarily relied on the people's welfare and happiness. However, if you compare his ability to scheme and plan to Ying Zheng's, you will see that he truly does not measure."

Wang Wei squinted: "What if we focus on his advantage? After all, the ultimate decision is up to Heavenly Dao, and it may have different requirements."

"You want to work with him?" Wu Hong asked before thinking of something: "You want to cooperate with him to spread your [Mortal Rune Civilization]?"

"That's right," Wang Wei nodded. "It's a great way to boost the prosperity of his citizens and show Heavenly Dao he was the best choice."

"I still don't think his chances of success will be high," Wu Hong replied. "Ultimately, the cultivation is about strength and strong preying on the weak. Even if Heavenly Dao granted him that destiny, it's very likely for Ying Zheng to conquer or slaughter him to take it."

"I still think it's worth a try," Wang Wei said. "If I succeed, I can stop the Qin Emperor, but even if I fail, I can delay his rise, and that's good enough for me."

"Well, it's a good move. You won't have to pay much if it fails, and you can still get some benefits," Wu Hong nodded.

"Then, it's decided," Wang Wei said as he sipped his teeth. "What about the other faction? What do you think? Especially the Grand Sect Alliance."

"As I said before, the Skill Association is useless, and it's the same with the exchange hall. As long as Emperor Kong keeps his heart of Sage and continues training cultivators no matter the background, there is no need for a loose cultivators alliance to be so powerful.

"The Innate Demons are the third useless group. The next era will truly be the era when they lose their status and are no longer viable to compete with Paragons and Fiendgods."

Wu Hong moistened her throat.

"After years of manipulation, the demon race's destiny has become to balance and suppress the Innate Demons, so they also have no value in the upcoming eras. However, Heavenly Dao might receive a spot just to provide some balance to the human race, but that probability is not high, considering we're the protagonists of the world, and we've done so much.

"The Divine Faith Heaven's leader is a highly talented person, but their purpose is also geared towards mortals. However, dynasties are healthier for cultivating mortals than faith, so they are also eliminated. No, they might be given a chance to compete with Ying Zheng and the dynasties for that position."

"That only leaves the Sword Path League, the Myriad Clan Union, and the Grand Sect Alliance," Wang Wei commented.

"The sword cultivators have ruined their own destiny by suppressing the Ultimate Sword Path to ensure the supremacy of the Extreme Sword Path," Wu Hong commented. "So, I'm not too sure about their fate."

"I guess it doesn't help that the most powerful one among them is not even from their league," Wang Wei chuckled.

"True," Wu Hong nodded before continuing. "The Myriad Clan Union used to serve a grand purpose: steal the Qi Luck associated with [Bloodline Supremacy] from the Innate Demon Gods and transfer it to the human race. Now that the Innate Demon Gods are about to be washed out from history, they might not be of much significance."

Wu Hong looked him in the eyes.

"It also doesn't help them that one of their core leaders is one of your Wang Clan. If they become a Transcendent Faction, then the potential of your clan will be too much. Heavenly Dao is all about balance; it will take that into account."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
