Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 958 Third Court Meeting

--

The court members came extra early today; they wanted to use the merit they gathered in the past thousand years to exchange things. A few people had already exchanged things beforehand, but a few lineages predicted the list would update, so they saved their merit.

As expected, when they checked the list today, a few new things were added, mainly two unique Grand Dao Source Seeds.

According to the description of the list, these seeds will allow the people to cultivate Insurgents up to the Second Class.

Heavenly Dao blessed the seeds with its will using a system similar to Primarchs. As such, after creating an Inner World with that unique seed, a Dao Ancestor will receive a Will Blessing that makes them on par with Third and Second Class Great Emperors.

Sadly, this thing was extremely expensive, and so far, only the Dao Opening Sect can afford it. However, these top lineages who waited did not care. The Mortal Civilizations have only developed for a thousand years and have plenty of time to continue to develop.

Another unique thing on the list originated from the Heavenly Emperor. It\'s a cultivation Blessed Land full of Chaos Qi.

After paying a certain price, these lineages can borrow them to cultivate.

Energy is also important to Immortal Cultivators. It\'s easier and faster for Immortal Venerables to convert Chaos Qi into Immortal Qi than using Innate or Spiritual Qi. Dao Ancestors and Great Emperors can absorb it to speed up their comprehension of the Grand Dao Source.

The higher the quality and intensity of the energy, the faster their cultivation is.

It\'s one of the reasons many Great Emperors did not need to ascend as soon as possible during the Beginning Emperor Era. The environment still provided them with opportunities to make progress, unlike modern times, where it is so slow that it makes people despair.

After these people saw the thing on the list, they could not help but be speechless. They could detect many areas in the court full of Chaos Qi, yet the Heavenly Emperor asks them to pay for these Blessed Lands.

His objective is obvious–he wants them to move the court. After so many years and seeing how the world changes every day, many people are not too averse to the idea of moving to the court.

Although it would symbolize a more concentrated power of the court, which means less power for their faction, they could still accept such a change because they will benefit from this system once the current Emperors leave and they put their people in the court.

However, staying close to the Heavenly Emperor is like a mortal living in close proximity to a tiger. Even if you know the tiger is not targeting you, the mortal will still be afraid because this beast is powerful and can kill him anytime.

Because of this mentality, most people resist the urge or desire to stay in the court. But now, they realize they may soon not have a choice. The world is rapidly changing, and opportunities are everywhere. If someone does not take it, someone else will.

\'After I get enough luck to become the Academy\'s official Emperor, I will move to the court,\' thought Xu Shi. She has to spend a lot of time understanding the [Existence Reconstruction] Technique, and she needs to use all the available help.

Additionally, Chaos Qi is very suitable for her physique. The benefits she will acquire after absorbing it are more than even the Heavenly Emperor. Furthermore, she can also condense them into Primordial Qi.

Using merit to buy these Blessed Lands is a waste of time, so she decided to move to the court and take full advantage of their service.

Time passed, and it was finally the hour of the meeting. The Heavenly Emperor appeared, and everyone saluted.

"At ease," said Wang Wei as he observed everybody. There were some changes, but the only noteworthy one was Han Shun, the ruler of the Great Jin Dynasty, became a Dao Ancestor.

Wang Wei could see the light of ambitions in this man\'s eyes. He guessed the latter\'s plan was to become a First Class Insurgent, maybe even Eternal Class Insurgent, allowing him to have more power in the court and the world in general.

\'Worthy of the Human Emperor\'s chosen successor,\' thought Wang Wei.

"We have a few things to do during today\'s meeting," he declared, his voice calm yet authoritative. "Firstly, the Sea Race: why hasn\'t the Mortal\'s Sub-Space not connected to your territory yet?"

The Panlong and Sea Lion Clan\'s Immortal Sovereign looked at each other and prepared to explain:

"Your majesty–"

"Okay, you don\'t need to explain. Since you think my words can be ignored, prepare to suffer the consequences. For the duration of this meeting, you can kneel."

Wang Wei waved his hand; a terrifying pressure suppressed these two, forcing them to kneel on the ground. Countless immortal lights flashed in their bodies as they tried to resist, but it was futile.

Afterward, they realized they could not even speak.

Shame and humiliation appeared on their faces. No matter how weak they are in the lower dimension, it does not change the fact they were Tier 11 and deserve respect.

"My patience is limited, so this is my last warning," said Wang Wei; he did not release any killing intent, but the room felt freezing. The other Sea Race representatives realized the severity of the situation. If they could not integrate into the world of land, their race would suffer a terrible catastrophe.

Wang Wei focused on the crowd, "I\'m very happy with how the mortal civilizations turned out. Although most of you did it only out of your own interest and benefit, I\'m still satisfied with the final result."

These representatives were speechless. The Heavenly Emperor always reveals the ugly truth to the public. Couldn\'t he be more tactful with his words? They secretly shake their heads.

"Our next court affairs is the establishment of ruling departments," continued Wang Wei. "There will be the Department of General Affairs, in charge of creating rules and regulations for the world, mostly to protect the mortal civilizations.

"We need a Department of Law Enforcement to reinforce the rules.

Heavenly Dao will supervise this department to prevent abuse of power.

"Lastly, we need a Department of Foreign Affairs responsible for dealing with the Myriad Emperor World\'s interaction with the Lower Realm and World Communities."

Wang Wei paused to give these people time to process this information and analyze things. A few seconds later, he continued: "We need to develop the Divine Legions. I can tell all of you our next meeting will be about foreign expansion. Now, our main objective won\'t be about conquest, but we also must be prepared for war at any time.

"Many people will not accept the spread of new ideas, so force must be used."

The representatives looked serious after hearing this. This sentence contains much information, but it can be summarized into one sentence–prepare for eventual war.

Wang Wei looked at these people reactions. He knew none of them would truly help establish the Divine Legion.

However, his main objective was to tell them to prepare to fight for their interest.

"That\'s it for now, but there should be more departments as we develop. Each department will have a Department Head and Deputy, along with other lower positions. I will use a unique test to choose these positions. Interested personnel can participate."

The representatives became excited after hearing this. These positions are very valuable, not only because of the cultivation blessing and merit for serving the court but also because of the political power that comes with them.

Wang Wei ignored these people and focused on Ao Shen.

"I once said I owe your demon race for going back on my word and taking the racial Luck Condensing Artifact. As repayment, I give you two choices: guarantee positions in these departments or merit points."

Ao Shen swiftly analyzed the pros and cons.

Although the position would increase the demon\'s political power and influence on the world, he could foresee many people using the fact they bypassed the test to get their positions to make trouble for them.

So, it would be best to acquire them using the official method.

"I choose merit points."

Wang Wei nodded and transferred 3.5 million merit points to the demon race; this amount was more than enough for breaking a promise.

"Oh, before I forget, don\'t kill Xiao Songxi,"

added Wang Wei. He still had his Great Trafficking Plan. Although Xiao Songxi was not a top Heaven Chosen in this generation, he was still a great talent.

Now that he was in such terrible shape with his bloodline destroyed, the Sea Race might make the stupid decision to kill him, and Ao Shen won\'t have any issue once he finishes his dealing with the Baishe Clan.

Ao Shen nodded calmly; he never expected to hide his actions and whereabouts from the Heavenly Emperor. Since the latter never stopped him, he knew he would encounter no problem with his plan–at least not from Wang Wei.

"Now, let\'s discuss the main subject of this meeting," declared Wang Wei.
