The Gathering of the Supreme Ones

Zhang Wei received the remnant technique with a cheerful mood, but after hearing about the deal between Ancestor Long and Emperor Azure from Madam Chi, his good mood was ruined. This reminded him once again that he was not on Earth and that this world was not harmonious. The law of the jungle prevailed here, where mortals' lives were worth less than animals to powerful immortals. Here, the ones with the strongest fists had the final say. Although he had decided to be heartless in this immortal world in the past to survive and not care about anything, he still felt uneasy upon hearing that 10 billion mortals were going to be sacrificed. He knew he could not change anything because he was weak. The weak had no say and no dignity. He then hardened his heart and decided, "In this world, only power matters, so I must become strong no matter what. Only when I become strong can I be free, and only then will I have the right to decide what I want."

Madam Chi noticed that Zhang Wei suddenly became silent and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

He snapped back to reality and changed his expression, "No, nothing. I am just happy to have received this technique. I will reward you specially tonight. But first, let me study this technique."

Madam Chi became happy and said, "I have to go and discuss something with my elder sister. I will return in the evening. But be careful with this technique, it is very dangerous."

Zhang Wei said, "Ok, do not worry, I will be careful. You can go."

Madam Chi left with her personal maid, and Zhang Wei was alone sitting on the bed, starting to memorize the technique. He had to remind himself that he was no longer on Earth, and there was no room for kindness or mercy in this world. His weakness may lead to his downfall, and he refused to be a pawn in the game of power. He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, even if it meant sacrificing his humanity.

As he studied the technique, he reveled in the thought of becoming the ultimate predator, the one in control. He knew that he had to be the cruelest and most ruthless if he wanted to survive in this world of savagery. Everyone else was just a pawn to be used and discarded, and he would do whatever it took to ensure his dominance.

In this cutthroat world, power was the only thing that mattered, and Zhang Wei was willing to pay any price to achieve it. He was determined to become the strongest, no matter the cost.
