Paragon of Sin

"...Neo-Dawn Eclipsing-World Pill!"

Wei Wuyin's announcement etched itself into the hearts, minds, and souls of all who heard it by a strange, mysterious power. Regardless of their currently preoccupied states, none of them were able to forget.

Meanwhile, the greatest fortune of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo was unfolding, causing countless ordinary cultivators, geniuses, Chosen, elders, experts, and peak powerhouses to be lulled by the opportunity. The Everlore Association's voidship, however, was quite peculiar. Their situation in the World of Eden was excluded from the connective and amplified senses of the Spiritual Network World. In the real world, they were at the center of an overwhelming spiritual flow that seemingly caused many to become mentally blank.

Evergod himself was unaffected by the raging turbulence of spiritual flow within his isolated world, but this meant he was completely segregated from the extraordinary fortune. In a hectic fashion, he tried to leave, only to find that the strange spiritual flow seemed to have been caused by the Worldly Awakening of a True Saint, sealing him within.

At first, he thought it was Wei Wuyin's doing and his rage was unmatched until he inspected the realm and realized it was purely natural. His decision to remain concealed had eliminated him from experiencing any good fortune.

"NO! NO! NO!" There was a series of explosively violent sounds from the Everlore Association's Voidship. The madness within each sound was heart-rending. Unfortunately, there was little Evergod could do unless he exerted a power that could shake the foundation of the Mystic Dao that was inducing these strange effects or destroy his realm entirely, likely resulting in the deaths of everyone on board the ship.However, even then, there was something that seemingly resisted his attacks leaving him helpless.

Wei Wuyin's Karmic Luck wasn't solely meant to benefit his allies, it could be used to serve as a detriment to his enemies! The Heavenly Daos' viciousness knew no bounds in its calculations.

San Yongli, however, was an exception alongside her adopted father. They had seemingly noticed the phenomenon's effects, leaving the Everlore Association's ship at the nick of time, avoiding the overwhelming spiritual flow and spatial restriction.

"Whew..." San Luoyang breathed out in relief. San Yongli was currently hovering under San Luoyang's protection, meditating as various Mystic Runes fluttered about her. They zoomed past like colorful comets.

"The Worldly Awakening of the True Saint awakens The World! These are all World Rune blueprints; you must seek out the best one for you. You'll only get one chance unless they choose you naturally, so don't waste it." The woman calmly educated and instructed San Yongli. "These World Rune blueprints aren't simple by any means, and if you can acquire one, becoming a Worldly Saint is almost predestined. Few could enjoy such benefits as this only occurs for the first Worldly Awakening!"

San Yongli digested all this information as she began to meditate. But the thought couldn't help but cross her mind: this phenomenon was never mentioned during the King of Everlore's True Worldly Recognition. Only the Spiritquake! Did that mean it was concealed or was there something strange about his True Worldly Recognition?

San Yongli had grasped a crucial point that would eventually reveal to the world an extremely shocking fact about the King of Everlore! Regardless, she no longer dwelled on the topic and fully focused on obtaining the greatest fortune.

San Luoyang observed this adopted daughter of his and faintly smiled with a trace of admiration and pride. Just as he was about to watch over her wholeheartedly, his Alchemic Stars of Mortal Spirituality surged forth! Unlike the King of Everlore and Sky-Zenith Alchemic Saint, San Luoyang hadn't concocted a ninth-grade transcendent product or a high-tier Mystic-Earth graded product with his efforts, so he was unable to evolve his Alchemic Stars to the next level.

A seven-colored light shot toward him from afar. He was stunned as it arrived before him, hovering gently, and he subconsciously reached out. The seven-colored light erupted and San Luoyang's mind was instantly overwhelmed with a trove of valuable information! It was extremely similar to the Unity of the Alchemic Stars!

Wei Wuyin carefully stored the Neo-Dawn Eclipsing-World Pill in a jade case specially crafted for containing such a precious object, sealing its aura entirely, originally belonging to Xu Yun of the Endless Voyage Realm, lie didn't publicly expose the effects of the pill. The fact he created it and received the recognition of the Alchemic Dao was enough.

He remained silent as he allowed the Heavenly Daos to perform its duty, working hard to benefit him with its machinations, and simply rested. Despite his seemingly flawless display, the concoction of a Mystic-World product was by no means a simple feat. He was thoroughly exhausted, especially in terms of mental energy.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was nearing empty on multiple reserves of power, such as King, Ori, and Eden had almost been tapped dry. Kratos was the only exception, hidden from the world entirely. It was ideal to keep at least a few secrets, especially an existence like Kratos that would proudly brag that one day, it'll invade Hell itself.

There was no place that it could not reach and no place that it could not escape. Those arrogant words still resonate with Wei Wuyin's heart to this very day.

"You're...something else," the existence that resided in Wei Wuyin's Sea of Consciousness, the Heavenly War Spirit, said with genuinely earnest awe in her tone.

"Oh?" Wei Wuyin grinned, stretching his limbs lightly.

"I've seen your cautious side, and it's extremely meticulous, but when you exert yourself, there's no one you wouldn't be able to shake to their very soul. To think that I was selected by someone like you. Is this my greatest luck or my greatest misfortune?" The Heavenly War Spirit's words were surprising, causing Wei Wuyin to slightly frown.

"Don't misunderstand," she hastily said, beginning to explain herself: "Your path is one filled with uncertainty, but most Heavenly War Spirits are obtained by those destined for greatness. Their futures were all clear, alongside backgrounds that could move the world with a single whisper. But you, you're entirely different.

"Everything you have is built by yourself. Besides your former sects, which were more like playgrounds for mortals, you have no true background. This could be the sight of something new ushering into our world, or it could be your greatest detriment. Or do you think that the fortune you obtained from a mere trial is sufficient to match those truly blessed by the world in all categories from birth?"

Wei Wuyin kept silent.

"The Nexus War Flag is only a man-made item, casually given out. Even I, a Spirit of Dao, was merely given out because my true value isn't enough to be treasured by the strong. Haaa..." Eventually, the Heavenly War Spirit released a heavy sigh filled with indescribable emotions. It seemed as if she wanted to speak out a thousand words, but could only say a scant few.

Yet Wei Wuyin understood what she wanted to convey. She sought to remind him that this was merely the beginning, and on this path built by his lonesome, he would have difficulty going forward. His outstanding characteristics were soul-shaking, but they were equally prone to producing all sorts of horrific calamities.

He had long since realized that the Calamities of Hell might be his greatest threat, but he couldn't walk with his head too high, his eyes seeing too far, or else he would inevitably fall to those beneath his gaze. The debonair version of himself in that accursed timeline had learned that the hardest way imaginable, having been enslaved while simultaneously losing a precious member of his family.

Things like the Nexus War Flag that allowed him to be invincible within the Sealed Regions weren't sufficient to ensure his safety or life in the future. Will his soul-shaking shine cause calamities or unimaginable blessings? This was the Heavenly War Spirit's intent.

He was aware of her concerns and fears, and Wei Wuyin had decided to do this with all of that fully in mind, fully aware of the dangers that it involved. And this path he chose was one that he couldn't stop, no matter what! The greatest decision of his life was to walk on the path of a paragon, all to resist Hell as a mere mortal. He intended to continue doing so, and this meant no longer hiding everything about himself to seize the greatest fortunes.

"If it becomes your greatest calamity, then we'll avoid it together; if it's your greatest fortune, then I'll make sure that we obtain every iota possible from it, leaving not even the bones behind." Wei Wuyin promised as seven minutes soon passed. The True Worldly Recognition began to dissipate, and The World went into a slumber once again.

"...I'll hold you to that," the Heavenly War Spirit said softly. Subtly, she began to change. She no longer held any qualms about Wei Wuyin's future path, regardless of how intense it may seem from here on out. She only had to say this last warning for her own heart. This reveal was an action that could never be taken back, and the fall of dominoes that followed will certainly be extraordinary! And she was ready to ride along and see where it leads!

The curtains of the Neo-Dawn Alchemic Expo began to close. The last remaining bits of it were left in the fortune that everyone could seize from his feat.

Wei Wuyin smiled as he left the stage.
