Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei smiled when he saw how quickly Princess Dong Lifen recovered from her shock and analyzed the situation. His evaluation of her increased quite a bit again.

”This goes back to the question I asked you when we first met. ʼDo you think that your actions in the slum can save this kingdom?ʼ”

After heating this, Dong Lifen remained silent. As such, Wang Wei continued:

”Although this country looked strong from the outside with its vast lands and powerful army, however, any observant person can see that this kingdom is slowly crumbling from the inside.”

”Both the royal family and the noble clans are slowly draining the life of the common people like mindless zombies. As long as they can continue their lavish lifestyles, who cares if the common people are suffering everyday. No, maybe I should also call them untouchables like they do.”

After hearing the word ”untouchables”, Princess Dong lifen secretly clenched her teeth. Meanwhile, Wang Wei continued his narration.

”Not to mention the secret infighting between the noble clans and the royal family. In such a battle, the ones who are most affected are the common people.”

”As for you, your highness, how many people can your weekly donations save? A few 100,000s? However, compared to this kingdomʼs population of 35.1 billion people, a few hundred of thousands of people is nothing.”

”Not to mention the fact that your actions are merely treating a few symptoms, but not the root of the problem.”

After hearing this, Dong Lifen was quite calm. After taking and savoring another sip of tea, she asked. ”You may be right, young master Wang Wei, however, this is the best that I can do.”

”Iʼm fully aware of this, princess. I am not in any way diminishing your accomplishments. On the contrary, Iʼm lauding your actions given the circumstances you are in.”

”Thank you for your praise, young master. Nevertheless, this does not change the fact that Iʼm still wary of you people from the Higher Realms. Just the fact that you people are willing to use an entire world as a trial does not show that you are very kind people.”

”Not to mention the fact that your arrival will plunge the entire world into war and turmoil. So I asked again, why should I help you?”

Wang Wei took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat while secretly thinking that maybe he should have used a less expensive tea to entertain these people. After his meeting with Li Jun a few years back, his secret stash of tea is almost finished.

After taking his sip, Wang Wei continued: ”The world of cultivation is a brutal place where the strong prey on the weak. You of all people should be aware of this. The truth of the matter is that your world is incredibly weak, so it can be toyed with by more powerful worlds.”

”You are lucky enough that all we did was use this world as a trial to train disciples. Out there in the Endless Void, there are many worlds like this one that are totally slaughtered after being discovered by a more powerful plane.”

”As for the war and chaos of this world. Well, letʼs be honest, this world was already like this when we found it. Our arrival would only intensify the conflict.”

After taking another sip of tea, Wang Wei said: ”As for the reason you should be help us foreigners, the answer is actually very simple: interest.”

”As I said before, our purpose in coming into this world is to actually gather luck through the establishment of a fortune dynasty. In order to do so, all the trial participants will make it their mission to ensure that the Luck of their dynasty flourished.”

”And what is the best way to do so? Of course it is the common people. As long as a dynasty has a large population, the people can feed and clothe themselves, the people are educated and have wealth for the next generation, the luck of such a dynasty would be unimaginable.”

Both Yu Siyu and Dong Lifen started to imagine the world described by Wang Wei. They imagined how beautiful such a world would be. However, princess Dong Lifen quickly woke up from her daydreaming and asked:

”Young master Wang Wei, what you say is beautiful and all, but what about afterwards? After you guys plunder the luck you needed for this trial, what will happen to the people? Of the dynasties you created?”

”Princess, do not ask such a stupid question. As a member of the royal family, you should be aware of what happens if a ruler blatantly absorbs the luck of a dynasty.”

”They will be backlash by the dynastyʼs luck and suffer from Karmic Retributions.”

Wang Wei nodded after hearing her explanation, and continued to explain:

”The truth of the matter is the fact that all of us that came to the trial came from powerful sects or dynasties with tremendous amount of Luck. As such, wouldnʼt it be easier to just absorb the luck of our own faction?”

”The answer is no. The reason for such is because we know the consequence of absorbing from such powerful luck. As such, we set our sight into a small world like yours due to the fact that the Laws of Karma are very weak here.”

”As long as we establish a prosperous dynasty in this world, then we can absorb a bit of luck without suffering from Karmic Retributions. The more prosperous the dynasty we establish, the more luck we can take.”

”After we leave, we will have settled our Karmic Debts. Although we stole a little bit of luck from this world, we return it with a powerful and prosperous dynasty. Our Cause and Effect are then settled.”

Upon hearing this, both Yu Siyu and Dong Lifen were shocked. They did not expect that a simple trial like this would involve such profound understanding and insight into the Dao Of Karma.

Yu Siyu secretly sighed for the third time today. She sighed on how such a young generation of the Higher Realm have such deep understanding into the Dao. Compared to the cultivators of their world…

After getting all the information she needed, Dong Lifen asked straightforwardly:

”How can I help you, Young Master Wang Wei?”

”Iʼm here to make a deal with you.”

”Deal! What kind of deal?”

”When the time is right, I need your highness to become my Empress and rule the dynasty with me.”

After hearing this, both Yu Siyu and Dong Lifen were shocked. Then, the princess said, ”I did not expect that young master Wang Wei was just like all the Young Masters of this kingdom and lusted after my beauty and prestige.”

Wang Wei looked at her and laughed out loud for a few seconds.

”Did I say something wrong? After all of those eloquent speeches, didnʼt Young Master Wang Wei just want to use me to buy the peopleʼs hearts?”

Wang Wei took another sips of tea after finishing laughing, then he said:

”The fact that you are insinuating that Iʼm the same kind of person as those scums is probably the greatest offense that I have ever received in my life so far.”

”As for me lusting after your beauty. Letʼs put it that way, princess. In my life, I will probably have only one Dao Companion that accompanies me through countless trials and tribulations. And you princess have not come even remotely close to fit my requirements for a companion.”

Wang Wei then paused for a moment to reheat the tea while the princess had an unconvinced look on her face. After warming the tea, Wang Wei looked at the princess straight in the eyes and said:

”Princess, you seemed to have gotten something wrong, I do not ʼneedʼ your help to take over this kingdom. As a matter of fact, this kingdom will fall in my hands one way or another, it is only a matter of time.”

”The reason for asking for your help is to speed up the process and minimize the unnecessary casualties when I do so.”

Dong Lifen suddenly realized that this man was right. With this young masterʼ strength alone, maybe he could easily take over this kingdom. And there is a high chance that this person has other people behind to help him.

And if that were to happen, there is nothing she could do to stop it. After thinking about this, cold sweat started to fall on her back.

Suddenly, Yu Siyu spoke and asked, ”Young master, since you say that you are here to make a deal, there must be other benefits for Fenʼer to help you?”

”Of course,” said Wang Wei while thinking that old ginger is always spicier than young one. ”As a reward for help, I will provide her with knowledge, pills, and higher cultivation methods from my world. Additionally, as long as she helps me manage the dynasty properly, I can still promise to take her back to my world if she wishes to. Of course, as her master, you are also more than welcome to come with us.”

After hearing this, Yu Siyu wanted to immediately agree, this was an opportunity to forever change her life. However, she knew that this was an important decision for her disciples to make and did not say anything.

After looking at her discipleʼs pensive look, she told Wang Wei, ”Young Master Wang Wei, if you do not mind, could please give us a few days to consider?”

After hearing this, Wang Wei nodded and answered, ”No problem, I can give you a week to decide.” After saying this, he stood up and looked at the princess.

”In fact, you do not need to worry about the so-called ”marriage” between us as it is simply a deal. I can even swear a Dao Oath not to force you to do anything that you did not want to. As long as you accomplish your official duties as the Dynastyʼs Empress, everything else will be fine.”

After saying this, Wang Wei moved quickly and instantly disappeared from the room--not forgetting to remove the Isolation Formation he previously placed in this room.

Meanwhile, Princess Dong Lifen was thinking about the biggest decision of her life that will probably decide the fate of the entire Eastern Rain Kingdom, and maybe even the whole world.
