Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"How is it going?" asked Wang Wei as he entered the room.

"We've asked the Elders to begin the troops' mobilization, and we are now analyzing the rules," replied Li Jun. "Is everything okay on your side??

"It's deal with. What do you guys have so far?"

"The advisor seemed the most useless of the roles based on the description only. However, it appeared second when the roles appeared. Moreover, what is the meaning of 'miscellaneous' in the job's descriptions?" said Yan Liling. 

"If only kings can fly, battles will become less dynamic, which is both good and bad," commented Li Jun. "And there might even be some other restrictions before a King can another."

"I'm worried about this sentence: Kings cannot kill Generals, Advisors, Soldiers, or others. What do the 'others' mean? Are there any unknown roles we do not know about?" added Tie Gang.

"If the soldiers cannot fly and teleport, then we would need to march or use other forms of transportation like horses or demonic race," pointed out Li Jun. "This should be one of the jobs of the Advisor: transportation. Logistics should involve pills to recuperate, increase strength, and other stuff."

"That means, Advisors, must have Alchemy capabilities," said Yan Liling. "Or worse, they might be the only ones who can use alchemy or other professions."

This conclusion made sense if the game's purpose was to limit the players, targeting masters of all trades like Wang Wei. Moreover, the Advisor must be a capable Alchemist like Yan Liling, who can refine various pills.

"The summoning restrictions are also a way to limit the power of Generals," said Li Jun. "However, why does it say soldiers can only kill soldiers? Could it be that a large number cannot be used to defeat other roles, or is it something else? Big brother, what do you think? Are you paying attention?"

"I am, but I'm thinking, why only five of us could only be [Kings]?"

"Isn't it because of strength?"

"Yes, everyone that was chosen–except for Yi Lianxing–had a minimum strength of 4-Leaf Immortal Venerable. Does that mean he also has that strength?"

"It seems obvious."

"It does. But everyone who broke the Mortal-Immorta Boundary has a certain aura to them that I can recognize, but I did not feel it from him."

"So, what's so special about him?"

"People like Tie Gang and Liling, who has to use a secret technique to Immortal Venerable strength, also do not have this aura."

"Are you saying Yi Lianxiang can increase his strength from Quasi-Emperor to 4-Leaf Immortal Venerable? And it might be higher? How is that possible?" Because of the gap, Li Jun only has 3-Leaf and will only achieve 4-leaf in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and there is the possibility of failure.

"Maybe, you should really kill him," said Tie Gang; he was in for removing any possible hidden danger.

"Let's observe more since I probably only have one spot left. I need to take out the biggest instability," replied Wang Wei. "Now, you guys should consider the implications behind these five individuals.

"Implications?" said Li Jun with a frown before his eyes lit up. "The Devil Race's Heavenly Dao is not worried about Generals or Kings that only have 3-Leaf or below strength. So, that's the reason I could be both a king or a general."

"Exactly."

"This game might be more difficult than we expected."

"Indeed," said Wang Wei, motioning for everybody to quiet down. He closed his eyes and began to calculate and do simulations, even using his [Future Buddha Self]. A few hours later, he said: "The Advisor is the most important role in this game." 

"Did you figure something out?"

"Yes," replied Wang Wei before explaining the possible scenario he thought of.

"That would change the dynamic of everything," commented Li Jun. He then looked at his wife: "You will have a lot of work."

"It's fine. The Automatic Cauldron is perfect for this kind of scenario."

"Let's go prepare. Add a few more Professions as soldiers," commented Wang Wei. "We might need them later." He then flew home to see his wife.

"Whatever it is you want to ask me, don't."

"What? I haven't opened my mouth yet."

"It's your Heaven Will Battle, so deal with it yourself."

"Sigh! Can you, at least, tell me if there has been any Heaven Will Battle like this one?"

"I know there have been a few odd ones, but nothing as odd as this one."

"So, it is an anomaly."

Wang Wei spent some time with his wife before leaving; he wanted to take the remaining three days to strategize and even do some last-minute training with his army.

However, before flying away, Wu Hong said, "Be careful of Yi Lianxing. What secret he has gives me a bad vibe."

"Do you know something?"

"I feel like I do, but I can't remember." Like many others, such a person did not exist in the previous timeline. However, Yi Lianxang's creepy aura reminded her of one of the few times she experienced terror as a Paragon. Unfortunately, the memory is vague and distant.

"I will be careful."

After Wang Wei left, Wu Hong looked into the distance. "I can only use it once more, and it's already been planned." She shook her head, a little sad.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei regrouped with the others. They used his Time Chaos Treasure to strategize and conduct training. The entire world was rapidly mobilizing for this sudden change in Heaven Will Battle. Powerful Generals instantly became extremely valuable since one cannot even acquire an entrance token without one.

Three days later, everyone gathered again at the Starting Place of the game. Wang Wei became the king, Yan Liling was the Advisor, and Tie Gang, Li Jun, and Wang Ju were generals. Although they could choose two more generals from the sect, the group's strategy considered this.

Tong Ruobing looked at Wang Wei's group and frowned: 'Why does he only have three generals?' More generals meant a bigger army and a higher chance of survival. 'Is he too confident, or does he know something?'

She looked in Di Tian's direction and saw that he also only brought 3 Generals. And like Wang Wei's formation, one of the generals seemed more focused on information gathering.

'Something is definitely off.' Little did she know these people discovered some hidden rules to this game. Wang Wei used his intellect, while Di Tian used his wealth. One of the treasures he has was refined from the body of a Star Stage Bashe Clan. In his attempt to revive his wife, he consulted a member with a 5-star bloodline, and when the latter could not give the answer he wanted, he was not pleased. And because of his action, he had this treasure and became the sworn enemy of the Baishe Clan.

Wang Wei chose [King] for his entrance token, and the others chose [General] linked to his.

"I'm counting on you guys."

"Big brother, don't worry: we have your back."

Wang Wei smiled before heading to the protective film. However, before passing through it, something occurred. Heavenly Dao suddenly showed up and said Wang Ju and another person wearing a hood beside Di Tian were banished from entering.

"What is wrong now?" asked Wang Wei–even though he knew.

No answer.

"I'll agree for her to seal herself."

No answer, just the same answer that Wang Ju was banned.

"Then, let her be a king."

Still the same.

"This is absurd." Wang Wei closed his eyes and used his Son Era title to summon the Myriad Emperor World's Heavenly Dao. He argued that the devil race should not allow changing the rules.

Afterward, negotiations occurred between these World Consciousness before they reached an agreement. A seal descended on Wang Ju and Di Tian's Shadow, limiting their power.

Wang Wei frowned, but he did not say anything else. The group then finally entered the film. They found themselves in an open plain with nothing in the distance.

"What is going on with Heavenly Dao?" asked Li Jun

"I don't know," replied Wang Wei. "Let's observe the surroundings for now."

"Alright?"

"Abundant Spiritual Qi, so the devil race should be thriving living in such an environment," commented Tie Gang.

"The question is how long this place has existed? And how much have they recuperated?" asked Li Jun.

"The surrounding space is weird," said Wang Wei as he tried to manipulate the space to no avail. "As expected, teleportation is a form of travel that is prohibited. Liling, can you teleport?"

Yan Liling controlled her Law to bend the space: "No. I don't think it's what it meant with transportation. Maybe through teleportation? However, this might also be forbidden if your guess is correct."

"True. Try flying." Everyone then tried to fly into the sky, and a powerful force prevented them.

[Please choose your soldiers] These characters suddenly appeared, floating above this group's head. The group then summoned their legions: the Slaughter and Undying Legion.

[You have reached the maximum number of soldiers]

[Please be warned that spatial treasures will be forbidden from now on. So, take out your weapons and armor immediately.]

"So, they are trying to prevent us from placing soldiers in Small Worlds to transport them," commented Tie Gang.

"What about for Advisors?" asked Wang Wei.

[Advisors are allowed to remove limited items from their space ring.]

"Do you think we would know the answer if we did not ask this question?" asked Yan Liling.

"Probably not. But it's not that hard to figure out. I think," replied Li Jun.

Let's test out a few things," said Wang Wei before flying in the distance and returning a few minutes later. "The King can only travel a certain distance from his troops. Luckily, the distance is not that horrible."

"The devil race in this continent better have the same rules and restrictions," said Tie Gang. "Otherwise, this would be ridiculous."

"They have to," replied Wang Wei. "Wang Ju, send your scout. We'll march afterward."

Wang Ju only brought the least amount of people in the group because of the previous tactics. A few hours later, she returned with some news.

"Sect Master, your prediction was correct."
