Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"More importantly, you can achieve immortality. Even as Supreme Gods, you will one day die of old age."

"That sound like words one would use to tempt children," said the Fire God. "There is no way you can give us such strength."

"You are correct," replied Li Jun calmly. "However, although I cannot give you such strength, I can give you the opportunity to achieve it. After all, being stuck in this world, you guys do not even have this opportunity."

The Supreme Gods became silent after hearing this. Many were tempted, while others sneered at Li Jun’s words. However, the latter did not care. As long as a few were tempted, it was more than enough to create divisions amongst these people.

That’s all he cared about; his plan was an open plot, and many of these Gods knew about it.

"Since your world is so powerful, why do you need to come to ours?" asked one of them.

"That’s because the Sacred Son of our sect needs to us this world for a purpose," replied Li Jun, then he sighed heavily while muttering very softly. "If my big brother was here, there would be no need to go to all that trouble to conquer your world; he could have just slaughtered all of them in an instant, then this world would be easily conquered."

Although Li Jun muttered these words so soft that no mortal could hear them, all the people present were Supreme Gods equivalent to a Void Shaterring Realm cultivator; how could they not hear his words.

What’s more, Li Jun said these words with so much conviction that it was easy to influence others to believe his words. Of course, he was not lying.

With Wang Wei’s current strength, it was not difficult to conquer a Middle Thousand World. Truth be told, with Li Jun’s current Saint Realm strength, he too could easily conquer this world.

However, he was warned before coming to take things slowly as this world was not as simple as it looked; divination was made that using extreme measures for this world with his strength could lead to unexpected disasters.

So, he decided to take things slowly and planned out all his actions.

Li Jun then looked at the Gods as if he did not say anything so provocative, then said: "Well, I have already extended my invitation to all of you. If you want to contact us and make a deal, use these."

He waved his hand to send a jade talisman to each of these Supreme Gods, then he prepared to leave.

"Wait, what happened to the Death God?" asked the Life Goddess.

"He’s dead," replied Li Jun before disappearing.

The Supreme Gods looked at one another for a moment, then all of them took the talisman before leaving and returning to their realm. Only four of them remained: the Destiny Goddess, the Life Goddess, the Destruction God, and the God of Order.

They started using their Divine Soul to communicate with one another.

"I just received some news from the Death God; the Outsiders has a way to influence Mother God," said the Life Goddess.

"The situation is slowly getting out of control," added the Destiny Goddess. "I think we should activate the [Guardian Protocol] as soon as possible to deal with the current situation."

"Don’t say such stupid thing," replied the Destruction God, "Unless our world is on the verge of destruction, we cannot activate it."

"Do we have to wait until things get worse to act," she replied back. After today’s event, the Destiny Goddess had a feeling that the next person to suffer a catastrophe after the Death God would be her.

She believed in her intuition.

"The Destruction God is right," replied the Life Goddess. "Plus, without the Death God, we cannot activate the [Guardian Protocol]; we are still missing one person."

"Since the Death God is most likely dead or captured, we should immediately choose another person to undergo the ceremony and inherit the Death God’s responsibility. That way, when we want to activate the protocol, it can be done quickly without any problem," suggested the Destiny Goddess.

The other three pondered for a moment, then the Life Goddess said: "Your suggestion is a good one. However, there is still a problem: who can we trust? You have seen the temptation that the Outsiders use to lure many of us on their side.

"If we want to choose someone to inherit the Death God’s duty, it has to be someone trustworthy."

If it was the past, there were a few people that they could choose. But now, after Li Jun’s temptation, no one could be trusted. Maybe even amongst the four of them, someone might already have other thoughts.

The Destiny Goddess gave a slight glance at the Order God; this Supreme God has always been a mystery–even compared to her. No one knows his thoughts, ideologies, or beliefs. For the majority of the time, he stayed in his realm.

When interacting with other Gods, he always remained quiet, agreeing with any decision that the Gods made without an opinion of his own. If it was not the fact that each of the five of them who had the power to activate the [Guardian Protocol] was under heavy oath and restriction, she would be more suspicious of him.

"How about we choose a God that we all think is trustworthy, then take them to take the oath and restriction in secret, without even telling them what they were doing it for. That way, they could not betray us and inform the Outsiders," suggested the Destiny Goddess.

"That could work. As long as they take the oath and have the restriction placed in their souls, they could not betray us even if they wanted to," replied the Destruction God. "The only thing we have to worry about is them leaking the news in advance and having the ceremony interrupted. However, if the chosen God is not even aware of what they were going to do, this problem would be solved."

"That is only if the Outsiders do not have the ability to remove the restriction in our soul," added the Life Goddes; her word immediately made the remaining people quiet.

Finally, the Order God said his first words since this exchange began:

"You have to believe in the power of the God-King."

"Indeed," replied the others. Then, they started to discuss who was more trustworthy amongst the other Supreme Gods; although they made up a plan, it was best to still choose someone that was relatively trustworthy and had a sense of belonging to the Heavenly Abode World.

Meanwhile, after Li Jun returned to the Death Realm, he muttered softly: "It seems that I cannot underestimate these Supreme Gods. Many of them obviously already knew knowledge about other worlds but pretended to be stupid to gather information from me."

Despite knowing this, Li Jun did not care. His objective was to stop these Gods from banding together to break the formation. Although it was a powerful Heaven Grade Formation, it still had a limit.

If these Gods constantly attacked this formation for a long time, it would consume a lot of resources before breaking.

Now, not only did he accomplish his goal, he still managed to investigate infighting between the Supreme Gods based on their desires and might even draw a few of them to his side.

Three days quickly passed by and the entire Death Realm was conquered. The formation that surrounded was not just a protective one but made of countless different formations that served different purposes.

One of which was mass teleportation. With it, Li Jun and Tie Gang can teleport their troops anywhere in the realm, thus greatly increasing the mobility of their troops.

Once the realm was conquered, Li Jun ordered his men to tear down all the Gods’ temples along with their statues. To replace them, new temples were built with Wang Wei as the main God.

They spread his name as the God of Fate that rules controlled the fate of all living beings in existence; the one who weaves the threads of destiny, determining their fate the moment that they are born.

In his temple, the River of Destiny is used as his symbol, always portrayed under his feet.

Then, the soldiers started to spread this belief throughout the realm, encouraging mortals and Gods alike to offer their faith/incense to him.

However, the process still encountered some resistance. Oddly, it was not from the Gods as they were used to offering their allegiances to more powerful Gods.

The resistance came from mortals. The change of faith affected them the most since their livelihood was affected.

For example, the people who worshipped the Goddess of Harvest used her blessing to increase the yield of their fields. With this blessing, they have enough food to feed their family.

The people who worshipped the Life Goddess can cure their diseases, the God of Earth prevents them from suffering from disasters like earthquakes, the Good of Wood can help them build houses and shelters.

To tackle this situation, Li Jun and the others began to create social reform in the name of the God of Fate. Only then did the problem slowly alleviate.

Inside the Royal Palace, Li Jun and his group were having a discussion when Wang Ju walked in.

"There is an unexpected problem," she said.
