Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After returning to the Imperial Palace, Wang Wei supervised the reconstruction of the destroyed parts. With the help of countless cultivators that can easily carry tons of weight, the entire palace was reconstructed in just a few hours.

Back in the Dragon Throne, all the officials had a severe look on their faces. The Emperor had just been assassinated, and yet, no one realized this, yet alone reacted fast enough to prevent this.

The Commander of the Royal Guard knelt in front of Wang Wei asking for him to be punished.

In fact, Wang Wei did not blame him. Even he himself realized the assassination once the person got so close to him. So, how could he blame the commander?

However, seeing the way he was blaming himself, Wang Wei could guess that he probably would not accept it if he did not punish.

As such, he deducted half a year of salary and sent him to the frontier to open territory and promised to reinstate his position after he acquired enough merits.

In fact, many people blame themselves for failing to prevent this assassination, however, the person most affected was in fact Wang Ju.

As a person in charge of intelligence and assassinations, and a cultivator in the Divine Body Realm, she did not even notice the presence of the shadow.

Her job is in fact to protect Wang Wei from situations like this. In the Dao Opening Sect, every generation of shadow is not only in charge of gathering information for the Sect Master, but also to protect them from dark plots and schemes.

The Shadowʼs job is to do the dirty work of the Sect Master and to protect him from other people who do dirty work.

Wang Ju knew from a very young age what her duty was and she has managed to do this job quite well, until today that is.

Today, Wang Ju realized her inadequacy. This generation of Heaven Chosen are not only growing rapidly, but they are also very powerful.

They already have the power to fight the Divine Body Realm while in the Divine Altar Realm.

Todayʼs event made Wang Ju realize that her talents might not be enough to keep up with this generationʼs Heaven Chosen. Maybe, one day in the future, someone else will take over her position.

After thinking about this, she sighed and placed these thoughts in the back of her head. However, a frown was still on her face throughout the meeting.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei first discussed how to calm down the people after the assassination. After all, it is easy to notice how the palace was destroyed. Many of the citizens were currently worrying about the situation.

The next major discussion was about the next opponent that the Great Xia have to face: the Fang Divine Dynasty.

Well, Wang Wei can see how prideful and narcissistic the ruler of this dynasty is just by the name. However, unlike other enemies he faced, he has to take this one seriously as it is headed by one of the Heaven Chosen from that is participating in this trial.

”Grand Censorate...Grand Censorate.”

”Wang Ju,” yelled Wang Wei.

”His Majesty,” responded Wang Ju. ”Did you say something?”

”Iʼm asking you to explain the details of the Fang Divine Dynasty.”

”Yes, as you wish,” nodded Wang Ju, who took a deep breath to regain her bearing.

”The Fang Divine Dynasty is run by Empress Fang Lijuan, a member of the Divine Clan, She is this generationʼs Divine Child of the Fang family who was chosen to participate in the trial.”

”As a matter of fact, there is another member of the Divine Clan in this world. As far as we know, the two of them seemed to be in an alliance, however, this was not unexpected as the Divine Clans are usually part of the Divine Dao League.”

After Wang Ju finished her introduction, the majority of officials were in fact puzzled. As such, one person bravely asked. ”Iʼm sorry, Grand Censorate, but Iʼm very confused. What is the Divine Clan? Are they Gods? And what exactly is this Divine Dao League you referred to?”

Wang Ju did not immediately answer the question, but gazed at Wang We instead. After seeing him nodding with his head, she then explained, ”The Divine Clans referred to a family that has cultivated a Great Emperor. Then, the Great Emperor left his Dao in his blood to pass down to the next generation.”

”As a result, the members of the Divine Clans are thus born with a bunch of extraordinary abilities derived from their bloodlines.”

”So, they are like the Blood Human Race of this world,” said another official.

Afterward, all the members of Wang Weiʼs group looked at this person with a speechless look on their face.

”I am speechless at the fact that you just compare the bloodline of a Great Emperor with a bunch of Demonized Humans,” said Yan Liling.

The official who said the previous comment became embarrassed and dare not raise his head again.

”Excuse me, his majesty,” said the Minister of Education. ”From what we know, you are also from an Emperor Lineage, meaning that one of your ancestors was also a Great Emperor, so why are you not part of the Divine Clan?”

”You looked too highly at these Divine Clans. They are nothing but a bunch of prideful, arrogant, and miserable people who are shackled by the very bloodline that they are so proud of,” said Wang Wei with a sneer in his face.

In fact, not just him, even Li Jun and Yan Liling had the same sneer on their faces. Clans like the Wang, Li, and Yan were always at odds with the people of the Divine Clans.

Despite his words, Wang Wei could still some confusion in his officialsʼ face, so he further elaborated:

”Our ancestors also ponder whether to pass their own Dao through bloodline. However, through observing the Demon Race, they soon realized the grave downside or defect of bloodline.”

”Although it will provide descendants with powerful talents and many abilities, it will also restrict them. The people who have bloodlines are often limited by said bloodlines.”

”Since the Dao of a Great Emperor already existed inside the Divine Clanʼs descendants, it became increasingly difficult to cultivate other Dao than the ones they are born. As such, the majority of them abandoned studying other Daos and focused on the ones they are innately born.”

”Is there something wrong with that?” asked the Minister of Education.

”Of course there is,” answered Wang Wei. ”Without your own Dao, it is absolutely impossible to become a Great Emperor. Even if the Heaven Will was placed right in your hands, you still could not become an Emperor.”

”The consequences of this is the fact that the majority of families belonging to the Divine Clans have only one Great Emperor--which is their ancestor that started the clan in the first place.”

”A select few have cultivated a second Emperor, however the numbers of these families can be counted in one hand.”

The officials finally understood what the so-called Divine Clan is all about. However, despite how his majesty despised these clans, the majority of these officials had a look of envy and yearning in their face.

Wang Wei secret shook his head after seeing this, then he continued to explain:

”These Divine Clans are doomed to be exterminated or weakened with the passage of time.”

”After billions of years, they have long understood the downside of their bloodlines. However, they still refused to change and adapt to the time.”

”Instead, they bonded together by forming the Divine Dao League. Through years of intermarriage, they have strengthen their alliance, and preserved the power of their bloodlines.”

”Unfortunately, this method has only slowed down their weakening of their power. With each generation, they became more and more irrelevant. I do not know how many years the Divine Dao League did not have a proper Heaven Chosen to represent them in the Heaven Will Battle.”

”However, it seems that this time, they have more than one.”

After analyzing the information regarding the Fang Divine Dynasty, the official came up with the plan to postpone the war to a month later as they had just finished conquering three kingdoms and had not fully taken control of them.

After a month, Li Jun and the five Name Generals will reunite and attack the Fang Divine Dynasty together. Then, the meeting was over and everyone left--with the exception of Wang Ju, who was kept behind by Wang Wei.

He looked at his head maid and motioned for her to approach him.

Wang Wei started caressing her hair, just like his mother used to do to him, then said, ”I understand your struggle. You have been with me even since I could walk properly. So, you do not need to worry about being replaced.”

”After this trial, I will ask my father to provide you with a Supreme Tier Dao Washing Pill in order to increase your talent. That way, you can follow me all the way to the end of my Emperor Path.”

Wang Ju was suddenly surprised, then she nodded her head like a bird picking at woods. Then, tears started to fall from her eyes. She tried to quickly wipe them out, but it was no use.

As such, she bowed to Wang Wei and ran away from the Imperial Palace. Crying was a great shame for a Shadow like her.
