Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1158 Emergency

1158 Emergency

”You can come out now.”

Yang Guowei teleported inside the sealed dimension.

”This is what you asked for.” Wang Changʼs head pointed at the soul crystal in the corner.

”Thank you. I owe you a debt of gratitude.”

”I have no need for any karmic debt, so pass it on to my grandson,” Wang Chang replied calmly.

”I understand.”

Wang Chang looked him in the eye. ”I know your relationship was not the best, but at least give him a burial.” Yang Chen might not have been his greatest opponent, but he was still the one with the greatest effect on his life. As such, Wang Chang wanted to give some respect even if he might not deserve it.

”I will,” Yang Guowei nodded. Once he gets the information he wishes for, he will personally remove his fatherʼs Dao Imprint and ensure he is dead for sure. He knows his mother will have a sore spot for him and try to save him despite all heʼs done, so Yang Guowei will ensure heʼs dead before meeting her.

”Now that everything is dealt with, I want some alone time.”

”As you wish.” Yang Guowei bowed before teleporting away, leaving Wang Chang to his thoughts. The next journey for Wang Chang was reincarnation. He did not need to reincarnate. With his Human Fiendgod Bloodline, his perfected Dao Heart, and his grandsonʼs method, he had no doubt he could be cultivated into an unparalleled Emperor.

However, he still chose this path for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted an opportunity for a fresh start with his own destiny, achievements, and glory. Secondly, a small part of him still wishes he would meet his wife during or after his reincarnation.

Wang Chang looked in the distance. ʼMy only regret is that I did not see the upper dimension sect and what it has become. However, I can put it on my to-do list for the next life.ʼ

Wang Changʼs body rapidly decomposed before turning into a blood-red seed that fused with his soul. He took one last look at the world before a gate manifested, and he entered. Wang Chang frowned as the reincarnation process was nothing that he expected. He found himself in this large, eerie, empty hall with a throne at the center.

ʼIs reincarnation different in the upper dimension?ʼ Wang Chang thought, wondering what was happening. Then, an enormous face materialized in the room, looking at him from above; he did not notice the personʼs presence or when they arrived.

”You!”

”Wang Chang, Iʼve been waiting for you.”

Divine Seal Continent:

”It seems like I didnʼt need to intervene,” Wu Hong muttered, which was good news. Now that the latter has entered Samsara, everything should be fine. She changed her gaze to other places. Wu Hong expected Supreme Unity to act in some capacity, but surprisingly, nothing occurred.

ʼOr, he acted but was stopped, but I could not tell.ʼ She sighed while shaking her head. The difference between the Paragon Realm and Half-Step Transcendence was too vast to the point of despair.

Lower Dimension, Myriad Emperor World:

Wang Wei opened his eyes from this throne, exhaling deeply. ”Nothing happened - thatʼs good.” Unfortunately, he sensed his grandfather had entered reincarnation, but he could not detect anything that occurred afterward.

ʼShould I check on him, or am I too paranoid?ʼ After pondering briefly, he decided to try. He used the Samsara Courtʼs Luck Condensing Artifact to enter a dark, endless space.

”Sir Stone Yama King, may I have an audience?” Wang Wei waited a few seconds with no response. Any entity of that level will notice when someone calls out their name, especially with obvious intent of communication. He waited a few more minutes before talking again: ”Sir, I have no agenda. I simply want to check whether a family of mine has successfully reincarnated.”

No answer.

”I just need a yes or no, and I will be in your debt,” Wang Wei added, showing his politeness by bowing. Sadly, no one answered him. So, he sighed before leaving. He immediately sent a projection to Li Junʼs court.

”Big brother? Did something happen?”

”No need to worry. Grandpa entered reincarnation, and I just wanted to make sure for my peace of mind,” Wang Wei explained. ”Is there a way you could check?”

”Iʼm afraid not,” Li Jun shook his head. ”He reincarnated in the upper dimension, which is the main branch. Iʼm new and have no achievements under my name, so it will be difficult to ask any superiors to check.”

”I figured as much.”

”Did you sense him entering Samsara?”

”I did.”

”Then, you need to worry. I doubt anyone could easily interfere with Samsara, even those two.”

”Maybe youʼre right.”

They talked for a few minutes before the projection dispersed. ”Li Jun is right. I shouldnʼt worry too much.”

Wang Wei sent the news back to the family before continuing his retreat. However, he sensed something else - the upcoming arrival of Hua Long. He sent someone to deal with it before continuing his retreat.

...

Hong Meilin walked into her private quarter, lying loosely on her throne. She had none of her previous dominance or nobility, just exhausted. Itʼs been three days, and the council has not decided - despite her suggestions to surrender.

ƈοm Sadly, her previously overwhelming power in the council proved useless as these people only cared about preserving their current status and power during the upcoming turmoil. For many, their wildest dream is that the First Heavenly Emperor and the Golden God perish together, leaving their territories open for conquest.

”Your majesty...Your majesty!”

”Hmm? Youʼre here.”

”Iʼve been calling you for the past five minutes. Are you alright?” the scholar asked.

”Iʼm fine, just tired of all the tedious political struggles.”

”Damn those council members. They were all quick to support you when they needed your strength, but once their benefit is touched, they are now quiet.”

”Thatʼs how the world has always been,” Hong Mellin sighed. ”Donʼt mention them for now. Has Hua Long returned? Hmm? Speaking of the devil.”

Hua Long walked into the room, and Hong Meilin frowned.

”Guessing from your demeanor, youʼre bringing bad news?”

”More or less.”

”Oh? There is some good news?”

”Yes, they accepted the apology.”

”Thatʼs good,” she nodded. ”What about the bad news?”

”Wang Wei never received me. I only dealt with someone from their Foreign Affairs Department.”

Hong Meilin grunted. Meanwhile, the scholar was trying to control himself to not accuse these people of disrespecting his queen.

”Their answer is the same: surrender or die.”

The room was quiet.

ʼThe situation is getting annoying,ʼ Hong Meilin thought. She was not as attached to the alliance as those people. Her priority has always been to ascend, meet her master, and become her true disciple. However, she wanted to do a few things beforehand.

Firstly, be as powerful as possible before ascending to ensure she can get her masterʼs approval. Secondly, she also wanted to do something major, not just to increase her survivability as an Eternal but also to follow her masterʼs footsteps and do something that affected the entire lower dimension.

”So, what is our next step?” Hua Long asked, but no one could give her an answer. Hong Meilin sighed, ”What do you suggest?”

”We can try to lobby different council members until we have a majority,” the scholar suggested. ”However, as you can guess, this method is slow, and the chances of success are up to debate.”

”Or, we can use our military might to forcefully take control over the council before surrendering to the Myriad Emperor World,” Hua Long recommended.

”How can you talk of committing such an act of betrayal so easily?”

Hua Long ignored him. ”If we offer him the Central Region, the First Heavenly Emperor will reward us handsomely. His history has shown his business savvy and generosity.”

”Hmm,” Hong Melilin was deep in thought. The suggestion was not a bad idea. However, she wondered whether such a step was too drastic.

”Your majesty, this is not the time for hesitation. This is the time to be decisive and cruel. The council members are high on the dream of power, believing they can still protect the status quo. But anyone with a decent brain knows we are too weak to have control over our territory, let alone their ambitions to control the entire lower dimension.

”This place is a sunken ship; if you donʼt do something now, we will drown with them.”

”You may have a point.”

”I still think this is too drastic,” the scholar added. ”How about we try the diplomatic way first before using force?”

”We donʼt know how much time weʼll have before this war begins, but we know itʼs not long,” Hua Long added.

ʼThey both have a point, but Iʼm leaning more toward Hua Longʼs side. However, I donʼt like the idea of using force on these people after how much theyʼve supported me and have worked with them for so long. How about I...ʼ

Hong Mellin suddenly stood up from her throne, looking around with her divine sense.

”Your majesty, whatʼs wrong?”

”Something happened. Something terrible, but I donʼt know what.” She immediately tried to divine the issue, with no result. However, this overwhelming sense of doom was lingering in her mind.

Myriad Emperor World:

Wang Wei opened his eyes.

ʼDamn it, something unexpected occurred.ʼ
