Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

 890 Assignments

"Let's proceed with the important parts," said Wang Wei, who suddenly paused, making everybody alert. "I almost forgot something."

He raised his hand in the distance, and three objects flew into his hand. The people who saw these artifacts, mostly swords, were shocked. Others had an ugly look on their faces.

"Racial Luck Artifact," muttered someone who recognized the Human Destiny Sword, the Demon Destiny Sword, the Sea Destiny Trident, and many other small races' Luck Condensation Artifacts.

The person most affected by this event was Ao Shen. The demon race had just acquired their racial destiny item, but it was taken back. However, before he could say anything or make a scene, Wang Wei looked at him:

"I am a person who likes to keep his word. So, I will compensate your demon race."

After saying that, Wang Wei ignored these people and fused these items into the Heavenly Court.

Boom!

A terrifying vision covered the world. A dark gold dragon manifested between Heaven and Earth. As soon as people saw the dragon, they knew it was different as it had nine legs and a crown around its horn.

After the dragon condensed, it fused with the Heavenly Court. All the representatives could no longer remain calm. The Heavenly Emperor forcefully controls Heavenly Dao, becoming the ruler of Heaven and Earth.

Now, he forcefully took the luck of all races in the Myriad Emperor World, condensing the luck of the entire world into the Heavenly Court. With such a destiny, they could imagine how much faster his cultivation would be from now.

As long as his strength can increase by a few more percent, he will become even more scary.

"I can see the greed oozing out of your bodies," said Wang Wei with a smile. "It's both amusing and interesting."

The room was so quiet that you could hear the sound of an ant walking. Wang Wei shook his head, no longer amused by these people's reaction:

"All the conferred Gods will have a palace in the Heavenly Court.

You can stay here and enjoy the blessing of the world's luck. Of course, even if you don't stay here, the blessing will still apply–just not as good."

People looked around and finally realized many things. For example, why is this place full of Innate and Immortal Qi? Although highlevel energy appears to be only useful for Immortal Venerables, that's far from the truth.

Great Emperors and Dao Ancestors also had requirements for an environment with better energy. After absorbing it, their soul will receive blessing and thus increase the rate at which they understand the Grand Dao Source.

This truth is one of the many reasons the era before the Null Era was so much better than the current time; it's also one of the reasons Emperors would stay longer in the Lower Dimension.

'What a brilliant method,' thought Xu Shi after hearing Wang Wei's words. She understood the latter was using this method to gather people into the Heavenly Court.

He did not use force, which could easily arouse the rebellious nature of these cultivators and force them to group together to attack him. Instead, he lured them into the court with irresistible benefit.

Furthermore, these Emperor Lineages do not have a choice to accept this deal. If they do not, there is a group of people who will rush to accept–Loose Cultivators.

Although these people have no sense of belonging to any factions, they will do anything as long as the benefits are enough. So, as long as these factions do not want the Loose Cultivators to become too powerful with the help of the court, they have to accept this invitation.

"Let's continue," declared Wang Wei once everybody stopped discussing. The Conferred God List floated before him:

"Take the Edict:

"In my name as the Heavenly Emperor, ruler of Heaven and Earth, I appoint Origin One as the Central God of Qilin, overseer of the Central Continent."

A brilliant light flashed in the list as a new name appeared.

"Xu Shi will be the Southern God of Phoenix, overseer of the Southern Continent.

"Ao Shen will be the Northern God of Tortoise, overseer of the Northern Continent.

"Huo Fenghuang will be the Eastern God of Dragon, overseer of the Eastern Continent.

"Feng Heng will be the Weatsern God of Tiger, overseer of the Western Continent."

As soon as Wang Wei finished, the Conferred God List split into five pages, each floating to the new gods.

No one reacted yet as they contemplated these assignments. Of course, the first reaction was that many people were not happy.

Why these people?

Their first answer was these people were the only group with an Eternal Level representative, but people soon gave up that idea when they saw that Feng Heng was nothing but a Mortal. Although he was accompanied by an Insurgent based on the latter's aura, he was only Second Class at best.

Then, the situation became worse when people discovered these new gods had the power to confer Gods under their domain. No one paid attention to the first warning on the page that said the Heavenly Emperor has the power to refuse an appointment or dismiss any appointments.

The courtroom was quiet as many people were pondering these assignments. The people activated all their treasures to ensure no one snooped on their conversation.

Xu Shi glanced at the list in her hand, deep in thought. She figured out her role as a God. Although the Heavenly Emperor explained it, it was clearer now.

For example, Heavenly Dao's highest expenditure of World Source is to heal the space after cultivators of Tier 7 and above fight.

However, now, she was responsible for using her power to heal the space, allowing Heavenly Dao to conserve more World Source.

'With this method, the Myriad Emperor World's World Source will reach an unimaginable level in less than a thousand years of the court's existence. As such, the world will enter a level of prosperity that has never been seen.'

She could see how the world would benefit in a short thousand years, let alone after countless generations.

'The Heavenly Emperor Era is destined to be prosperous.'

She glanced at the man sitting on the throne, finally understanding why he was a complete Era Son; he must have been planning this for thousands of years.

'His plans are excellent, but he's also an expert schemer,' she analyzed. Xu Shi represented the Enlightened Emperor Academy, a faction in the Central Continent, but she now was the overseer of the Southern Continent.

These sects and factions in the south will never allow people to encroach on their territory. So, if she does not take care of the situation properly, the Academy will be enthralled in many disputes, even leading to the Emperor Dao War.

In the end, even if they win, they will suffer and be weakened to a certain extent.

'Something is bothering me. Based on my strength, shouldn't I be awarded the Eastern Continent, the second strongest of the five?'

analyzed Xu Shi.

'If he wanted to weaken the Academy, it would make sense to send me to the east, where there are the second strongest Emperor Lineages after the central continent.

'Could it be that he felt it was more important to deal with the Ancient Clans?'

Xu Shi knew the Ancient Clans would have the second most difficulty in this assignment after Feng Heng. With their arrogance, how they usually operate, and the strength of the faction in the east, their rule will be a nightmare.

'Forget it. I'm satisfied with the south.'

Although the South was not as good as the East, it had many advantages–it was the holy land of all professions. In terms of resources, they do not lose to the central continent because of these professions.

'What I'm more concerned about is why he assigned Feng Heng to the west?'

In such a place ruled by devil cultivators, it would be a nightmare for anyone–especially since there is the Di Clan to consider.

A few people had similar thoughts as Xu Shi, so they gave glances to Feng Heng, who remained calm.

Only he knew the deep meaning behind his assignments.

'I guess he does not want my contradictions with Taoism to affect his rule,' analyzed Feng Heng. 'He's on my side but does not want to get too involved.'

The rise of Buddhism required a stepping stone, and he chose Taoism. However, the Heavenly Emperor predicted his actions and told him to change to a new target–the devil cultivators in the West.

'He obviously wants to deal with these people, but now, he's also using Buddhism as his sword.'

Feng Heng figured everything out clearly, but he did not care. As long as he has value, the Heavenly Emperor will side and help him and Buddhism. Furthermore, Buddhism's innate pure nature and understanding of the mind is the nemesis of these devil cultivators.

'I only need to ensure I get the Di Clan to my side and give them enough God Positions.

'Furthermore, there is room for greater development,' thought Feng Heng with shining eyes. 'If Buddhism could become the National Religion of the Heavenly Court, the benefit will be incalculable.'
