Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 581: Consolation Prize

"When an expert becomes a deity, they will sense something called the daos. The daos are split into minor daos, major daos, and heavenly daos. These become very important when cultivating as an immortal.

"To be able to see this far into the future, one has to control either the Minor Dao of Time, or the Heavenly Dao of Fate. An enemy with these abilities is not easy to handle, but if we are willing to destroy our original fates, then it is still possible."

Lan struggled for a moment before he decided to speak. The daos were very difficult to understand for those who had not yet reached the ranks of gods, and thus he was not willing to explain too much.

However, their enemy did seem to control these two daos, which would make things much more difficult for them, if they could not make their preparations in advance.

The biggest problem was that fate was hard to understand. Even if they knew that this expert could see and manipulate their fate, how were they supposed to prepare? They did not know their own future, and if they began to overthink every single action, they would never be able to escape their worries, and a heart demon would be sure to appear.

If it was any other expert, then Lan would not have explained his theory, but Xue Wei was not easily demoralized. While they could not change their future, they might be able to find traces and hints in the past.

"You said that to control these two daos, one has to be, at least, an ordinary god?" Xue Wei’s brows were furrowed as he thought about what Lan had told him. He had a theory, but he did not know whether or not it was right, and he was somewhat scared by his own thoughts.

"Yes." Lan nodded his head, but he did not go into details. First of all, it was not suitable for Xue Wei to know too much about the daos yet, but also, he felt that if he said too much, it would influence the thoughts that were starting to connect in the young man’s mind.

"If we assume that this expert has targeted me and you, he needs to have a certain reason for doing so. If he can see through time and fate, then he must either think that there is something special about us, or he has an extreme hatred towards us.

"If it is hatred, then it is a bit confusing, as his strength is that immense. He has planned for so many years, and it seems a bit redundant to do that for revenge alone.

"However, if we consider the other option, that we have something he might want, then I can only guess that it would be the bloodline that I have.

"This would also suit his current path, guiding me towards the various Sovereign Beast clans and activating the bloodlines. While my strength is also rising alongside the activated bloodlines, the main thing is that the bloodline purity is getting better and better.

"If he has a purpose, then I would assume that he wants to get my bloodline for some reason. However, I have a bold assumption that made me curious for some time, but it could be explained by your theory.

"When we arrived in the Ghost Realm, you had to seal your powers. This is not a normal kind of seal, but even after returning to this realm, you cannot unravel it instantly. Your strength is no longer the same as before, so I assume that the guy in the shadows wanted to take the opportunity to remove you.

"However, that uncle of yours, with the white hair, appeared just before we entered the Ghost Realm. While this Shadowman is hoping to remove you, he will not dare to do so while you still have your family member present, and thus you are still alive."

Xue Wei frowned. He had said everything that had come up in his mind, but even after saying it all, he could not help but feel that he had overlooked some very important clues and leads.

Even so, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not come to any better explanation than what he had found.

Lan, too, found that this would be the most reasonable explanation, but there was indeed something wrong with this assumption.

"Although we can work with this theory, we have a major problem. The Shadowman has worked hard for so many thousands of years to trap you, but your bloodline is nowhere near as potent as your mother’s. Although you are able to increase your bloodline purity by activating your hidden potential, it does not remove the fact that you are half-human.

"If this expert truly wanted to do this much for your bloodline, he should have focused on your mother and not you. This is something which brings me great confusion."

Xue Wei knew what Lan meant. It was true that his bloodline was special, but it was not as strong as his mother’s.

His mother had died while giving birth to him, so while she did not die of old age, she was still not completely young either. If this Shadowman had aimed at her from the beginning, she would not have been able to avoid his trap, but she did not seem to have been influenced at all.

Such realization made the whole situation much more difficult. Xue Wei was not so silly as to think that he was more useful than his mother, as even the Primordial Beasts had taken him as a consolation prize, so how could this hidden enemy not know who to prioritize?
