Primordial Chaos, Death Land Forbidden Zone:
An old and ancient entity that embodied death, or the reverence of death, slowly awakened. The place was the purest of black, with no one in sight. Then, a pair of eyes opened, making the entire zone tremble.
"What happened?" Death Reverence asked himself. 'The altar in the Eternal Ascension World was destroyed?' He was not surprised by this news, as he had expected after learning that two Half-Step Transcendences had appeared in that world. However, nothing happened after a long time, as they seemed to have balanced each other out and refused to work together. But now, it seems it has finally happened.
"Hmm? It wasn't them who did it?" Death Reverence was finally truly awakened. 'My Lord found a vessel, but it was dealt with? Was it Grand Dao's doing?' He could not find any more information, which frustrated him slightly. It was extremely difficult for his Lord to find a Vessel that was not only worthy but perfectly fit with him.

Death Reverence grunted. He wanted to immediately rush to the Eternal Ascension World to find the truth. Sadly, his current strength can only deal with one of those two, and he knows no matter their conflict or disagreement, they will work together to kill him.
Death Reverence sighed deeply. 'If I were as powerful as that Outer God clone, it would not be easy for Grand Dao to deal with my actions.' It was frustrating as he finally reached the level where he could achieve his goals, but Grand Dao has been keeping an eye on his every action, so he must act strictly by the rules, or he might be exiled, ruining all his plans and efforts.
Death Reverence removed his sight from this event, focusing on the entire Chaos Universe at large. He immediately noticed the underlying chaos and strife due to the All-Seeing Temple.
'So, it's already time for another major event? Perfect.' The Corpse Selling Sect thrives during times of war and death. So, he immediately ordered all his members to begin spreading more altars.
"Death shall walk on this world one day, and all sentient beings will revel at his name and presence." Death Reverence entered his deep sleep after saying these words.
Prehistoric World:
"What did he do?" Hongjun muttered after sensing the removal of the protection he provided to the kid. He mobilized his primary Dao - Destiny - to divine the truth while holding onto Pangu's ax. 'What's this?' He suddenly felt an opportunity to catch the truth, so he followed it. He did not stop sifting through the threads of destiny to find his answer.
Blood dripped from his orifices, and the entire Prehistoric World trembled, alarming countless entities. However, Hongjun did not care - he was so close.
"So, that is the cause of the catastrophe?" he muttered while smiling wryly. He foresaw chaos and danger that could possibly destroy his home, so he took measures to ensure its safety or survival. But he never expected his actions would, in fact, lead to the catastrophe.
'So, we have to make a choice between those two? No, with our karmic connection, we are already marked to one side.' He sighed deeply.
"Master, what happened?" a voice rang outside his purple palace. However, before he could reassure them, another booming voice echoed.
"Hongjun, what happened?"
"I was doing a divination."
"No normal divination would have such a reaction," asked another deeper voice without the boom. "Any important information?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"The reaction was mostly from the backlash," Hongjun explained calmly. "I'm currently injured and need to enter seclusion. I need you two to keep an eye on things for me while I recuperate?"
"It's that bad, huh?" asked the one with a deep voice.
"Yes."
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen with us present," added the booming voice.
Hongjun sensed their dissipating presence before sighing in relief. He did not know how these two would react to this news, so he kept it to himself for now. 'Now, what should my next step be?' He was confused, as his decision would affect the entire world, so he needed to be careful.
Hongjun sighed before reassuring his disciples. Then, he entered seclusions. He was not lying about his injuries, so he indeed needed to recuperate. He also needed this peaceful time to think and plan ahead.
Eternal Ascension World, Lower Dimension, Myriad Emperor World:
Wang Wei sat on this throne, deep in thought. Recent events have proven that it may not be enough, no matter how careful he thinks he is. Would things have gone better had he waited until becoming an Everlasting Empyrean before destroying the Death World? Highly unlikely - especially since he was dealing with a chess game involving higher beings and entities. However, it would also have granted him more options.
'I always thought that no matter the situation, Grand Dao would follow the rules, but it appeared that was not the case. That bastardly thing is not as emotionally stable as I imagined.' There was a possibility that he did not know all the rules, but Wang Wei did not care, nor was it relevant since he was convinced the latter acted out of selfishness.
'That Science and Technology World...' In fact, he would have definitely destroyed the world once he left. After analyzing that mark, Wang Wei knew the Quantum Will would have evolved beyond his control and to the point that he could not destroy it if he wished to.
'But if I had more time, I could have found another solution to restrict its development or maybe create another weaker version before doing so. At the very least, I could have removed the new data from the Watchers before destroying it. But now...'
He gritted his teeth, thinking how much of an advantage he lost with its destruction. Then, there was the Dark Truth, which was another choice. Wang Wei was convinced that his parents and families would benefit somehow after entering the fog. Now, that is all gone.
'Death Reverence, count your days since now, you're on my list of variables to eliminate.' Wang Wei was already worried about this path to transcendence due to his future self's actions. So, he did not appreciate any foreigners - Outer Gods or not - interfering in this world and making the process even more complicated. And once he has the opportunity and strength, he will eradicate that bastard with utmost impunity.
Wang Wei opened his robe to look at his chest. Although there was no mark, some of him still felt it was there. He never hated any of his experiences in his cultivation journey as much as he hated this branding. He always knew he was someone's pawn, but the mark was physical proof that someone saw him as nothing but a worthless and discarded object.
And there was the idea that his life was controlled by someone else, that his fate was not his own, that his freedom was shackled. He truly hated the experience.
'I must ask Grand Dao whether there are any hidden marks on my body due to my status as a Fate Seed.' Although using his question like this might be a waste since he could ask for a direct path of transcendence, he needed to know for his sanity's sake. Anyway, he was confident in himself regarding this aspect, but whatever mark may be left on him is not something he can deal with anytime soon.
'The issue is whether that bastard will follow the rules or not.' This thought frustrated him. The fact that Grand Dao was unreliable affected many of his plans, and to say he was annoyed by this fact is an understatement.
'Now, I can only wait.' Regardless of the future, he decided to use that question before entering the Paragon Realm, before it became too late.
Swish! Someone appeared in the throne room.
"What happened?" Yu Yan asked.
"Why are you here?" Wang Wei asked as he woke up from his deep ponder.
"Don't you see outside?"
Wang Wei looked, and he noticed his bad mood had created a somber vision with dark clouds with flashes of lightning covering the entire world. Wang Wei did not care, so he waved his hand to disperse the visions; he did not want the mortals to be scared and cause trouble.
"What happened to make you so angry?" She knew how much control her son had over his emotions, so something big must have happened for him to behave like that. Yu Yan suddenly thought of something: "Did you receive bad news from the daughter-in-law?"
"No, nothing like that. Something just happened that pissed me off."
"Want to talk about it?"
"No, I'm fine," Wang Wei replied. He wanted to be alone; no, he wanted to talk to her, but that was not happening.
"Are you sure? We could have one of our night talks when you were young. You know, just us laying on the bed as I tell you stories about the world. Instead, you can talk about how you feel. Better yet, we can be the ones underneath the moonlight."
"I appreciate the offer, but -" Wang Wei suddenly paused. "You know what, I don't see why not?" He snapped his finger to change the day into night before teleporting away.
