Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1064 Fifth Court Meeting

Wang Wei closed the book in his hand when he detected Xu Shi's arrival. He glanced at her and said, "I'm guessing by the reservation in your step that things did not go well?"

"Sadly, no," replied Xu Shi before explaining the situation. "I would also like to apologize for releasing them and giving them a fighting chance."

"It's fine," replied Wang Wei. There was nothing wrong with Xu Shi feeling indebted to these people and doing an act of kindness for her peace of mind and to repay her karma.

"So, what's next? Are you going to subdue them?"

"No, I won't intervene unless absolutely necessary," replied Wang Wei. His existence offset the balance of the entire lower dimension. So, if he wants to stay in the lower dimension long enough to reach the Empyrean Realm, he needs to act as little as possible to not get on True Heavenly Dao's nerves and get exiled to the upper dimension.

Xu Shi did not know how to feel about this news. If Wang Wei acted, the war would be swift, and there would be little to zero casualties. However, without him, the Martial Hegemony World still has a slight chance of achieving something in this war, even if it's just a display to the rest of the Endless Void that they were people of iron will and did not bow down to anyone.

"Feeling sympathetic?" asked Wang Wei.

"Yes." She had long been accustomed to the cruelty of the cultivation world. She knows the motto might be right. However, she still felt bad for the Martial Hegemony World because of her connection with them for proving the Dao there.

"I would love to promise you that the casualties will be minimized," said Wang Wei. " Unfortunately, they are martial artists and people with extreme aversion to foreign powers. Many of them will fight to their death."

"I understand." Xu Shi bowed politely before leaving. Wang Wei looked in the distance. Was the upcoming invasion wrong? Of course, it was. No act of war or aggression is ever morally justified. Unfortunately for the Martial Hegemony World, and maybe for him, he had long escaped the shackles of his morality. At this point in his cultivation journey, even extremely deplorable things will be used if it is the only way to achieve his goals and ambitions.

Wang Wei's gaze shifted to a white and gold bell in the northern hemisphere of the court. With a thought, it began to ring, and its sound echoed worldwide. As soon as people heard it, they knew what it meant - the fifth court meeting will soon occur. Specifically, based on the bell's sound, it will occur two days later.

Two days later, everyone showed up except for Yu Yan. She needs to reduce her exposure in this era so that she won't have any problems ruling in the next with Wang Tian. As such, she will not participate in most events and slowly fade from the mind or view of the populace.

Everyone soon walked into the throne room, which was decorated with gold and purple; they bowed politely, and Wang Wei called them to rise. He took a moment to let everyone in the room settle in before beginning: "Let's get straight into business," said Wang Wei. "Our next expansion will be the Martial Hegemony World." As soon as he said these words, Wang Wei could hear the sound of breathing becoming rapid, he saw the side glances of many representatives, and he sensed the divine sense of communication between many individuals.

"Don't be too excited yet. Although we will expand, the court positions will no longer be part of the expansion. You can create your own court in another world if you want more positions. But you will no longer be a member of this court, so no protection, continuing receiving benefits, and your previous positions will be revoked."

People began to discuss the meaning of these words. They had prepared for this upcoming war, but now, the Heavenly Emperor told them there would be no benefit. Who wants to work for no benefit? So far, the Heavenly Emperor's mode of operation was everybody gets a piece of the pie. Was he about to change? Was everything before an illusion to lure them into a sense of ease before showing his true self and pouncing on them like the true predator he was? Was his true self about to be revealed?

Many thoughts flashed in these people's minds before someone was brave enough to ask the obvious question, "Your Majesty, if the God Positions are no longer part of the expansion ⌜€“ what is?"

"That's a good question," said Wang Wei calmly. "I won't mention the obvious benefit of having communication and trade opportunities with another world community; those long-term benefits are not enough to appeal to many of you."

Some representatives with thin skin blushed but said nothing as this was true.

"The Mortal Civilizations and Demon School will be the main source of merit and reward for this expansion. Based on previous policies, you still need to leave some rewards for the native, and an appropriate charter - created by our General Affairs Department Leader- will be handed out near the end of the meeting."

In Wang Wei's opinion, Daoist Evergreen's work has been more than excellent, reducing the stress and time he has to spend on court affairs.

"Secondly," he continued. "Although the entire Martial Hegemony World Community is large enough to share, their world itself is limited, so not everyone can be included in meddling in its affairs."

Wang Wei waved his hand to manifest the Merit Point Lists and something called Military Point Lists.

"Unfortunately, the Martial Hegemony World has declined peaceful negotiations to settle this expansion. So, we must wage war."

He pointed at the Military Point Lists.

"People who participate in the war can gather military points or merits. The top five individuals will be chosen to deal with the affairs of the Martial Hegemony World. The top 30 will be granted priority and preferential treatments for the expansion into the Lower Realm."

Those representatives' eyes glow with greed and lust; they now know there are still plenty of benefits, and that's all that matters. The wiser one even understood why the Heavenly Emperor chose this path. With his strength, there should be no issue with conquering the lower dimension and spreading the court's influence to every corner of the Endless Void.

But what about after he leaves? With no absolute strength to suppress everything, these worlds will revolt and enact their vengeance on the Myriad Emperor World. It won't take five generations before their world was completely wiped out by a coalition of thousands of Heaven Will Worlds and their respective communities.

"The Merit Point List has been updated. What you do in other worlds will garner you points, but the price is only a tenth of that at home."

People frowned but realized it made sense. Their previous actions benefited the Myriad Emperor World, but now, they would benefit the Heavenly Dao of another world. There was probably some exchange between these two world's Heavenly Dao, hence why they were receiving any reward in the first place.

"New benefits have been added to the Exchange List," continued Wang Wei. "The court has a new formation: the Immortal Qi Refining Array. Immortal Sovereigns can link their mansion to an Emperor Formation that accelerates the speed of refining Qi."

The top Emperor Lineages were finally paying true attention.

"This formation has three tiers: gold, silver, and iron. Each tier is better than the other but also more expensive."

Wang Wei saw the jovial expression of these people, including the ones who tried to hide it. He secretly sneered before dropping cold water on them, "Only the top 100 in the military list can use the gold tier, the top 500 can use the silver tier, and there are no limits for the iron tier."

Wang Wei previously wanted to limit all tiers but decided otherwise. After all, it's not good if the world has too many Immortal Sovereigns. However, The iron tier is still extremely slow to cultivate Tier 11 powerhouses, so he used it as a luring piece of meat for most factions, giving them a false sense of hope.

Wang Wei looked at these people's reactions, and he secretly sneered. He was once a capitalist, so he knows many ways to get the masses to work for him and make him more money. With this system that looks like a meritocracy but is actually an oligarchy, he has hope to gather all the resources and merit necessary to achieve his goals and ambitions.

"Next, I will establish a War Room, and you need to send your best military strategic minds or advisors to overview this war. Their service will contribute to your Military Points."

Although Wang Wei was confident he would win, he also did not want to take any risks. So, he must have the best mind overseeing this war to ensure success.

"Finally, I need two Eternals or 4 Immortal Sovereigns to overview this war and deal with the enemy's top powerhouses. Who volunteers?"
