Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1088 Mobilization, Rejection, & Negotiation

1088 Mobilization, Rejection, & Negotiation

After spending the night drinking and reminiscing, the team scattered the next day. Li Jun and Yan Liling visited their parents and family before taking on their position. Yan Liling created the World Guardian Mountain, which will be her main location for quite some time.

She will spend her time cultivating and refining pills, most of which will be stored as reserve in case the worlds enter a period of emergency/catastrophe, while the rest are for her. The good news is Heavenly Dao will provide the resources for these pills.

After suggestions from Li Jun and Wang Wei, Yan Liling hired a few people so her mountain would not be lonely. Meanwhile, Li Jun started recruiting for positions in the Samsara Court. People were surprised when they learned there were no restrictions or limits to who could participate in this selection, even people from other World Communities. However, they soon understood why after seeing the difficulty of the Samsara Courtʼs test.

After returning to the court, Wang Wei prepared for the future by first checking and testing the result of his training. In the past ten thousand years, his fleshly body cultivation reached the third step of the Dragon-Phoenix Realm, and he passed all 800 Side-Door Tribulations. He could feel the limit of his bloodline was approaching. Wang Wei knew once he opened the Gate of Power, his body would reach Tier 11, but his bloodline would stay at peak Tier 10 (10 revolutions) until he completed the eleventh revolution of the technique.

Wang Wei then checked on the Genesis Fruit, and things were proceeding smoothly. After the war, he fed it a few Immortal Sovereign bodies, significantly accelerating the gestating speed. He then activated a communication array to contact Xi Shangyan.

”I did not think you would wait so long to contact me,” said Xi Shangyan.

”I was busy with something important,” explained Wang Wei. He always felt a duty to ensure that Li Jun and Yan Liling proved the Dao, so he focused on achieving this goal over the past 10,000 years. And now that he had succeeded, he felt a heavy burden lifted from his shoulder, and his mind even experienced a slight sublimation.

”Thatʼs understandable.”

Wang Wei was not in the mood for chitchat, so he asked directly, ”Any news from your family?”

”Yes. According to them, a prophecy has placed the Eternal Ascension World in the center of an upcoming turmoil. Many worlds have eyes on us, and some have already acted.”

”A prophecy?” asked Wang Wei with a frown. He now knew why the parasites were temporarily unavailable, but the more valuable information was about this prophecy.

”They didnʼt tell me much, but they warned me that something major was about to happen.”

ʼSomething major? If other worlds are interested, then it can only be something that affects the entire Chaos Universe. The Third Origin War? Whatever it is, it will definitely involve achieving transcendence,ʼ analyzed Wang Wei.

”Thank you for the information.”

”No, I should thank you. Our clan was cut off from any news, and your information was very useful,” replied Xi Shangyan calmly. They ended the conversation after a brief chat, and Wang Wei was left to his own thoughts. He realized time might be running out. If he does not hurry, he might be caught up in a Chaos Universe-wide event without being prepared.

He could imagine how much he would suffer if an event similar to the Second Origin War occurred and he was not even a Paragon.

ʼLetʼs get things moving,ʼ he thought before contacting someone else: Tong Ruobing and Yan Liling.

”Is it time?” asked Tong Ruobing directly.

”Quite direct, arenʼt we? But yes, itʼs time,” nodded Wang Wei.

”Iʼve been waiting ever since you contacted us.” Tong Ruobing left the communication, leaving Mu Lei to shake his head. He looked at Wang Wei, ”Are you sure about this? I know about your strength, but the Commerce Hub is a giant for a reason. Who knows what kind of trump card they are hiding?” Unlike these people from the Myriad Emperor World who only recently returned to the Endless Void stage, his sect has been dealing with the Commerce Hub for eras. As such, he had an inkling of their deep foundation and what they were capable of.

”I donʼt deal in absolute, but Iʼm confident,” replied Wang Wei.

”Thatʼs good.” Mu Lei ended the conversation and prepared for the expansion of the Star Beast World.

The conversation ended, and Wang Wei looked in the distance. He had made his move and only had to wait. Of course, now that he decided to accelerate things, he thought of something else he could do. He teleported outside the Myriad Emperor World and began to create a world.

Suddenly, he disappeared from his location and appeared in an empty space with a large face composed of stone and horn.

”Sir, Yama King, what can I call you?”

”Stone.”

”Sir, Stone, I come here to become the Earth Emperor.” This has always been Wang Weiʼs plan. Li Jun will bear the burden of the Myriad Emperor World Community while he does it for the rest of the lower dimension.

”Youʼre not eligible,” said Stone Yama King directly, making the corner of Wang Weiʼs lips twitch.

”Sir, is there a reason youʼve disqualified me?”

”Because I say so.”

”Thatʼs fair, but couldnʼt you at least test me before rejecting me?”

”I have no doubt you can pass the tests,” said Stone Yama King, his voice calm and his tone straightforward. ”But youʼre still not eligible.”

”I just want to know why, besides you not wanting me to be one.”

”Because youʼre a Dao Overlord.”

Wang Wei wanted to curse, ”That feels like discrimination.”

”It probably is, but our policy has always been to reject all Dao Lords and Overlords. You people are the embodiment of being too ambitious - not to mention how youʼre always trying to find loopholes and weasel your way out of agreements. Your case is even more severe because youʼre a True Devil with no respect for the rules or order.”

Wang Wei wanted to cry; he did not expect to be directly rejected because of his best qualities. He sighed, ”Sir Stone, there must be a reason youʼre still entertaining a discussion with me, right?”

”We know youʼre clever, so you donʼt need to show it off,” said the Stone Yama King. Wang Wei decided that remaining quiet was the best option in this scenario.

”If you must know, I havenʼt sent you back to the world of the living and directly rejected you because of the destiny True Heavenly Dao granted you,” said the Stone Yama King. ”Although we donʼt care about the world of the living, we would like it to remain peaceful to make our job easier. Plus, some bastards dare encroach on our domains without authorization.ʼ

Wang Wei knew who the Yama King was referring to, but he would not bring this topic up. Based on this conversation, he still had a chance and needed to choose his next words wisely.

”I have no ambitions for Samsara, and I can sign the most restricted contract or oath,” said Wang Wei. ”All I want is the merit to increase my cultivation. As you know, I have a heavy destiny on my shoulder, and I want to survive whatʼs coming next.”

”Hmm,” uttered the Stone Yama King, and Wang Wei swiftly caught on that he would not say more.

”My strength is enough to bear the burden of the entire lower dimension. In the grand scheme of things, thatʼs nothing, but itʼs still useful. As the saying goes, mosquito legs are better than no meat.”

”Hmm, thatʼs a fair point,” the Stone Yama King uttered. ”But I really donʼt like you.”

ʼI have feelings too, you know,ʼ complained Wang Wei, but he did not say these words out loud. After seeing the contemplative look on the Yama Kingʼs face, he added one last thing: ”I will also deal with Old Man Nether before I leave. Although heʼs an ant to you guys, I think heʼs also an eyesore.”

”You are correct again,” said the Stone Yama King. ”Alright, youʼve convinced me. You can be the Earth Emperor, but no Conferred God List for you; you can bear the burden of all the positions.”

”Fine by me.” Although it was much more work, it also meant more benefit or merit.

”Sign the contract.”

A black-golden parchment materialized before him, and Wang Wei read every word and checked every corner. The contract was very direct, telling the rules he needed to follow and the severe consequences of breaking them. Wang Wei signed it after not finding any fault with it, and the Stone Yama King granted him a Luck Condensation Artifact for his court before kicking him out without any word.

ʼWhat a strange encounter,ʼ thought Wang We as he returned to the court; he was about to fight, so it was not appropriate to bear the burden of the Samsara Court. He focused on the upcoming fight and his possible confrontation with Emperor Jia.
