Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 998 Everyoneʼs Thoughts and Reactions (I)

998 Everyoneʼs Thoughts and Reactions (I)

”Another ambitious one,” muttered Wang Wei as he shook his head. After the final battle, all of Di Tianʼs Sleeper General died while the others essentially became captives???except for Di Jiaying, who ran away. However, the latter immediately entered a cultivation retreat after running away and abandoning her king.

Wang Wei did not immediately summon her to disturb her retreat, so after the meeting, he summoned her consciousness without affecting her retreat. However, as he expected before asking her, Di Jiaying refused his offer. Her reason was the same as Su Ya, so Wang Wei did not insist.

Afterward, he walked to the courtʼs training ground. He saw the devilʼs legions but did not care about them. He came to see the busy Wu Ming, asking him if he wanted this opportunity.

”This is not for me,” replied Wu Ming directly.

”Something told me it would be the case, but I still want to know why.”

”My own priority is to ensure the Wu Clan can prosper for as long as possible.”

”And you can do that by proving the Dao,” countered Wang Wei.

”If it were a typical Emperor, that would be fine.

But the clan needs to establish the foundation for future prosperity. Leaving a single Emperor Foundation is not enough.”

Wu Ming knew what the clan needed, and a single Emperor would not change much???especially since he knew his talent. According to his calculations, he would be lucky to become an Eternal. So, the best course of action is for him to lay down the foundation for the Wu Clan and the Origin Rune Palace so that his descendants can cultivate a true Heavenly Emperor.

With the connection and trust he has built with Wang Wei, his clan and faction will be protected and have access to plenty of opportunities to rise and prosper. He would lose a far greater chance if he left than having one Great Emperor.

”I donʼt know whether I should praise your dedication or scorn your lack of personal ambitions,” sighed Wang Wei. How many people can give up immortality, not for more power but for the rise of their family and clan? Wu Ming, Wang Wei truly respected Wu Ming regardless of how people, the world, or history will see him.

Wu Ming only smiled after hearing this. Ever since he heard what happened to his ancestor, he felt a sense of mission to revive the Wu Clan. His dream or goal has always been to ensure the clan reached the potential or power they should have achieved had their ancestor been the one who proved the Dao and became the Array Ancestor.

”In that case, you can continue your work. Tong Ruobing has agreed to help us finish the Totem Warrior, but donʼt be in a hurry to ask for help.”

Wu Ming nodded as he understood the implications???do whatever is needed to reduce how much benefit Tong Ruobing will receive once the project is finished.

Wang Wei left the room, gazing into the distance.

”Itʼs time to activate Gao Buqinʼs chess piece.”

The promise of this opportunity is the best way to motivate the latter to act as the Dao Opening Sectʼs torn in the Battle Spirit World. After all, benefit has always been the eternal theme of the cultivation world.

ʼOnce He Shiyi becomes a Heavenly Emperor, Gao Buqin and his Battle Artifact Villa will be crucial to hindering their power.ʼ

Wang Wei sent the message to activate Gao Buqin, asking for the sect to send a protective detail back to the Battle Spirit World. He sent Desolate One???who has achieved Eternal Strength???to return to the Battle Artifact Villa.

ʼWith talismans containing my power for emergencies, he should be fine,ʼ thought Wang Wei before returning to his cultivation room to continue his body training. The people in his world will be the first trial for the exchange. If this one is successful and everyone is happy, he will target the ”losers” of the other Heaven Will Worlds.

Although he doubted there would be as many talents as the Myriad Emperor World, this generation is an Ultimate Glorious Age, so Eternal Talents should appear everywhere in the lower dimension. And all these people are resources in his eyes.

Emperor Enlightening Academy:

”So, thatʼs the opportunity he wanted to give,”

sighed Xu Shi. ”Are you sure about your choice?”

”Yes.”

”Not even tempted by the Heavenly Emperor Position?”

”It would be a lie if I said I wasnʼt. However, sitting in the position always felt like accepting he was better than us, becoming nothing but shadows in his brilliant light.

”I know that logically speaking, the chances of reaching his heights are minuscule, bordering on almost impossible, but I donʼt want to give up no matter how small the probability.”

”I understand.” No one who can call themselves [Heaven Chosen] is not arrogant, full of ambitions, and has a state of mind to be the best at whatever they do. Itʼs in their nature to look at despair and the impossible in the eyes and still challenge it.

”I will help you,” she continued. ”But you must understand that this will not change things between us. You still have to make a choice.”

Lin Fan smiled wryly. From their sessions with Xin, he understood their situation resulted in a power imbalance in their relationship. He believes that proving the Dao and becoming an Eternal Emperor will alleviate the situation. At the very least, he will have more options.

”I understand,” nodded Lin Fan; he had already made a choice but was still hesitant. However, after proving the Dao, he thinks he will have a better chance of convincing her.

Xu Shi looked at him but did not say anything, ”You donʼt have much time, so your incarnations do not have much time to grow. At this rate, you might fail, although a failed Nine Extremity is still valuable.”

Lin Fan frowned as he took out eight other orbs.

His wife used her Time Dao to find how Wang Wei cultivated his Nine Extremity and recreated it by creating special worlds for her.

”Is there a solution?”

”We have to use a more extreme measure,”

explained Xu Shi. ”I will accelerate time to the fastest speed possible. However, youʼre still a mortal, so there is a limit you can bear???even with my protection.

”After absorbing the Heaven Will, even if your body has hidden problems, they will be fixed.

However, donʼt expect to achieve a perfect Nine Extremity Foundation.”

”Is there really to achieve perfection?”

”Not in the moral realm. But you can later re-establish your foundation, but such an act is dangerous, and I mean danger of death???even for an Eternal.”

”Iʼm not afraid of death.” Lin Fan only cared that there was a way. Xu Shi looked at him with dilated pupils.

ʼYes, why am I afraid of death and hesitant about re-establishing my foundation? Isnʼt it just death?ʼ

After hearing his words, she removed her last bit of reservation and began to plan for her future.

With how bleak things sound in the upper

dimension, itʼs best to be as strong as possible.

Despite this realization, Xu Shi was not prepared to survive the death tribulation for reforging her foundation in the lower dimension. For such an event, itʼs best to have a senior and more powerful individual???for example, Emperor Kong???as her guide and protector. Considering the resources needed for this process, this line of thought was ideal.

”In that case, letʼs begin,” announced Xu Shi.

Sword Casting Villa:

”Youʼve made the right choice, but are you sure about your ambitions?” asked Jian Sha. ”I donʼt know much about the upper dimension, but I can guess how much more complex things are compared to here.”

”Now that Iʼve calmed down, I realized the severity of the situation. However, this is a great opportunity, one Iʼm not willing to pass on,”

replied Jian Wushuang. ”So, letʼs see how things are first after I ascend.”

Destinies can be fought for, but you must also bear certain destinies. Jian Wushuang knew he, alone, could not bear the weight of the Ultimate Sword Pathʼs destiny. However, it will be a completely different thing if he has the support of the Sword Casting Villa in the upper dimension.

”As long as you understand what youʼre getting yourselves into, Iʼm satisfied,” nodded Jian Sha before discussing how to proceed.

Body Dao Cave:

”Are you sure about your decision?”

”Yes.”

”No one has ever successfully passed the ancestorʼs trial; if you fail, only death awaits you.”

”Iʼm ready,” replied Yin Gen. If it were up to him, he would have accessed the trial long ago.

Unfortunately, he was from an old era with little to no political power in this generation. If not for the recent development and the support of one of the ancestors, these people might never agree to open the trial for him.

The trial has many levels, so although no one has ever completed it, the ones who passed even one of them benefitted immensely. With his talent, many believed he might be the first to pass all the trials successfully, and some did not want to see him succeed.

”As you wish.”
