Chapter 1336  Rescue?

Wang Wei looked at the Lawless Zone, calculating how to reverse the situation. He could not personally enter the fight for various reasons, primarily because he was currently in terrible shape. Luckily, he had another way.

He had long suspected Jimin and the Crazy Thief Gang Lord, and now, he knew he was correct. However, this is not the point. Wang Wei left means to secretly monitor the Lawless Zone, meaning he could use these means to secretly enter without alerting anyone.

Wang Wei did not immediately act but put the altar away. Then, he condensed a drop of blood that turned into 1.269 trillion pillars with Dao Rhymes for the Health Preservation Techniques and rhymes to make it easier for people to comprehend. He then waved his hand to send these pillars to different areas of the Eternal Ascension World.

‘This is not enough,’ Wang Wei thought. He knew these parasites would not allow these pillars to remain in their territories, so he needed better ways to spread them. ‘Should I start the Dream World again?’ Wang Wei never recreated the Dream World because the upper dimension had its version — the Void Illusion Realm. Although it was now closed, it was meaningless to build the Dream World since he wouldn’t receive any merits.

“Rebuilding it to spread this technique is a great way to get merit and help Heavenly Dao, but the question is whether it can be built.’ Supreme Unity already had the overwhelming advantage with the [Heaven’s Lock], so he did not know whether he would succeed.

‘Let’s try it and see.’

Wang Wei returned to the Origin Seal Continent. Now was not the time for the Dream World. Everything had its priority, and his current one was rescuing Paragon Jimin. As Wang Wei looked at his room, he realized it would soon be time for him to leave this place. His whereabouts were already known, which is detrimental to his actions.

He sat on a cushion and swallowed a few more pills. His body was not in the best state — not to mention his Dao Injuries. However, he could still not rest since work was to be done. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he had condensed a projection in an isolated area inside the Lawless Zone.

The projection sensed the battle going in the distance. It pointed at the arrays around, and they fused with its body. Wang Wei frowned as he looked at this array. His current expertise saw so many flaws in this former array, many of which he cannot change since his Array Dao level was so low. Regardless, he modified the places he could to ensure he would not be detected. Once he was sure there was no problem, he slowly approached the battlefield while remaining invisible.

Paragon Jimin’s situation was far from ideal. Five Feather, Undead Phoenix, Seven Cauldron, and Time Eater besieged him. His body was full of wounds, and with each passing second, even more appeared. However, he fought bravely.

‘His Dao,’ Wang Wei thought. ‘The Dao of Thievery? What a strange and unique path.’ Most people would look down on such a Dao, meaning most talented people would not cultivate such a Dao. Non-talented people would not go far, so seeing a Paragon with [Thievery] as their Dao was odd.

‘Let’s see, there is a Plunder Aspect of his Dao, similar to Devouring Dao. Then there is stealing,’ Wang Wei analyzed. ‘So, he can steal people’s Dao, similar to Xun Junyao’s copy? Better yet, it seems he can steal their lives.’ Wang Wei was shocked. With this ability, Paragon Jimim must have countless identities that are not easy to distinguish.

‘If I can get my hands on his [Life Stealing Technique], I can improve the Fate Guard’s ability to steal fate and become someone.’ Wang Wei’s eyes lit up. The current situation was severed, to say the least, so he will take any advantage he can. He continued to observe the battle and frowned.

‘These people’s battle experience is not nearly as bad as I expected,’ he observed. During the past 10,000 Yuan Epochs, he asked Xun Junyao for her memory of that fight, and based on his analysis, the Blood Dragon seemed to have the worst battle IQ of the group.

‘It’s not that he’s the worst, but these people have improved in the past 10,000 yuan epochs.’ The frontier contained countless influential invading foreigners, meaning it was an excellent place to train. Thinking of the frontier, Wang Wei suddenly thought of something, so he looked at the [Hong Protective System].

‘Who or what is powering that thing? If it’s Supreme Unity, then it’s fine. But if Heavenly Dao is forced to use the World Source as the power source, this is another way of weakening.’

Wang Wei’s facial expression became grave as he thought of something else. The protection should have no issue blocking the Paragons coming, but what if this current blockade forced the foreign Half-Step Transcendents to move earlier than anticipated?

‘Damn it, Supreme Unity, are you playing with fire?’ Wang Wei cursed. ‘Unless that’s what you want. Use foreign aid to continue weakening Heavenly Dao, thus allowing you to control it and ultimately make up for your flaw.

‘Then, there is you — Maitreya. How can you be so useless? Aren’t you supposed to balance him?’ Wang Wei had to control himself not to let his thoughts flow out publicly. He calmed down and focused on the fight. Sometimes, he truly found his intelligence a curse. There were too many things he knew that he wished he did not.

‘Time is running out,’ Wang Wei said as he focused on the battle — focusing on Time Eater. His eyes could tell the latter was league different from the others. In fact, Wang Wei could tell he was hiding his incompetence and did not fully show all he was capable of.

‘A man with deep thoughts and scheming. However, why was he like this? From the information I gathered about him, he was not this extraordinary or capable during the Golden Era,’ Wang Wei analyzed. In that era, Time Eater was talented, but he never truly reached the upper echelons. Moreover, he never showed any signs of being a master manipulator.

‘Was he someone like Supreme Unity, always hiding, or did something happen in the middle to change him?’ Wang Wei desperately wanted to know the answer to this question. ‘Maybe I should use the opportunity to ask the Star Sage.’

Wang Wei sighed before directing his gaze toward the Hidden Master – Old Man Dai. The latter stood in the void, his facial expression showing his anxiety. However, he did not rush to help Paragon Jimin. He couldn’t even if he wanted to since Time Eater had a clone/projection prepared especially for him.

“Paragon Jimin, I’ve come to make a deal with you,” Wang Wei secretly communicated.

“That voice — Wang Wei?”

“It’s me,” he acknowledged. “I’ll save you and —”

“No need,” Paragon Jimin said. Wang Wei observed him from a distance and shook his head.

“What an idiot,” he said directly to Jimin. “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since you’re a loose cultivator.”

“What do you mean by this?”

“Do you think these people haven’t won against you because of how weak they are in the Lawless Zone? You’re dreaming.” Wang Wei did not hide the sneer in his voice.

“They are buying time to find your Time Mark to erase you from the timeline.”

‘Time Mark?’ As soon as he thought of these words, Paragon Jimin acquired some basic information about the concept.

‘That’s right. You just became a Paragon, meaning you don’t know much about Time Marks or have a ChronoSpirit. It’s only due to your destiny that they haven’t completely figured it out yet, but it’s only a matter of time. By then, they can isolate your influence from the Primordial Timeline, go to the past, and erase younger versions of yourself. “Once that happens, it won’t matter how many ways you have to survive as a Boundless Paragon.”

An intense horror ran deep down Paragon Jimin’s back. The confidence he had acquired after becoming a Paragon was instantly shattered. Luckily, he received the news now, or he would have died before even knowing what had happened.

“What do you want?” he asked Wang Wei. Despite the turmoil going on in his mind and the conversation, Paragon Jimin showed no signs on the surface. As someone who considered himself the best thief in the world with countless identities, he was a master of acting and hiding his emotions or thoughts.

“It seems you’ve awakened from the confidence of suddenly acquiring such power. Good. We can talk now,” Wang Wei said, nodding in satisfaction. No matter who it is, they will become a little arrogant after becoming a Paragon, primarily due to the vast difference in power between the previous realm.

“I want two things,” Wang Wei continued. “Firstly, I want your [Life Stealing Technique.”
