Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

"Well, Young Lady Su Ya, you are not completely right. As a powerful cultivator, of course I have some level of pride and arrogance," replied Wang Wei calmly with a smile on his face.

"As for the reason that I do not have any contempt for the geniuses of Lower Background is because I learned the hard way that there is no being that is truly born noble. Everyone has a chance to reach the top--no matter your origin or background."

"That’s bullshit," suddenly said Ji Song with a cold snort. "You are telling me a Great Emperor is not a noble being? What about their offsprings--both direct and indirect? What about people born with powerful bloodlines? Are they not born noble?"

"Is that so, Crown prince. Then, tell me, beside a Great Emperor, where do all the noble beings you mentioned get such a qualification?" replied Wang Wei calmly.

"From a Great Emperor, of course."

"That’s right. Now, another question, what were Great Emperors before they managed to prove the Dao?"

Ji Song looked at him without saying anything.

"Since you refuse to answer, then I will. They were ordinary people. The first Emperor to have ever existed in the Myriad Emperor World was the Heaven Opening Emperor back in the Primordial Era. Although the majority of information in that time period is lost, we do know that countless Innate Lifeforms like Dragons and Phoenixes along with Primordial Gods lived in that Era.

"Now, do you think that us, weak humans, were noble compared to them? No, in all likelihood, we were probably treated as either slaves or food. However, the Heaven Opening Emperor slowly rose to the top and became a Great Emperor, he slowly became a noble being.

"My ancestor, Emperor Qiyuan, was the first Great Emperor of the Ancient Emperor Era. However, before that, he was just like all the other cultivators at that time that were lost and searching for the road ahead. There was nothing noble about his birth. No, he developed noble characteristics after he decided to spread the Origin Path System to all the lost cultivators of that time. He became noble after he proved the Dao and became one of the most powerful beings in existence.

"Not to mention that in history, all of us here have learned of many Great Emperors that once were slaves, some were shunned by society because of being born with defects, or because people did not agree with their views and lifestyles when they were weak. Were those Great Emperors born noble?

"One of my favorite Emperors was Great Emperor Yellow Teeth. He was born a slave in a Small Thousand World in the Lower Realm. One background could not be any lower than this. However, he still managed to slowly crawl the cultivating pyramid until he managed to prove the Dao and proclaimed himself a Great Emperor. His story has proven that nobility is not an innate quality, but one that is slowly cultivated or acquired."

The room then became quiet after Wang Wei’s grand and inspiring monologue. Some people agreed with his words, while some found his words demeanor given the fact that he was born with the highest of status among all the people inside this room.

"So, you are saying that there is no difference between us and them?" replied Ji Song while pointing out the geniuses that were from Supreme Lands and Holy Lands.

"Of course not, that would be preposterous. However, the main difference between us and them is not our birth, but our will and spirits. Heaven Chosens like us, ever since we were young, we knew what it will take in order to become powerful.

"We knew all the pain, suffering, and sacrifices necessary in order to become a True Powerhouse. We knew the burden we have to carry and how many people and lives are dependent on us, in our success. We knew that giving up--no matter the circumstances--was not an option for us. On top of that, we knew that once we reach close to the end of the line, there is a high chance that we might not survive. However, we still have to go forward.

"As for them," paused Wang Wei while looking at the geniuses from lower backgrounds.

"They can use the excuse that we are better than them because of our births, our backgrounds, or because we have better cultivation techniques and resources than them. In their minds, they have more than a hundred reasons as to why they are not good enough to compete on our level. But they never blamed themselves.

"They never looked inwards, pondering what they could do to close the gap between us--just like many other Great Emperors have done. To them, it is easier to blame others for their failures than to have a moment of self-reflection. The majority of them do not have the will and spirit to do whatever it takes to truly reach the top."

The room became quiet again after Wang Wei finished speaking as many people started to ponder his words.

The Heaven Chosens completely agreed with him. Despite all the allure and glamor that surrounded them, only they knew the amount of stress and tensions they have to live with everyday.

Whether it is the pressure to prove their parents or sects proud by leading them to greater heights, or the pressure knowing that they might not survive the Heaven Will Battle in the future. Or even worse, eliminate before even reaching there.

Overall, their lives are not as easy as it seemed on the surface. Many of them started to reminisce about the things that they had to do in order to get where they were.

A few examples were the fact Sun Jiaolong had to kill his own blood brother for power, Ji Song went on a training hell after his second lost to Wang Wei. Many of them had to sacrifice a great deal of things in order to be as strong as they are now.

As for the other geniuses from lower backgrounds, they lowered their heads in shame as Wang Wei was right. The mentality of the majority of them is that the only reason that they are not so talented and powerful now was due to their low births.

For countless years, they have used this excuse to make themselves feel better. However, now, their façade was torn down right in front of everybody.

One person suddenly stood up before saying: "You can use as many beautiful words as you want, but it will not change the fact that your people from Emperor Lineages have better techniques than us, have more resources than us, and more opportunity than us. Tell me, how are we supposed to compete like this?"

Wang Wei took a sip from his wine cup before slowly saying: "You are right, my friend, you guys do have it hard. But I never said that the world was fair. However, let me ask you a question, what was the origin of the last Great Emperor of this Era?"

The face of the person who asked the question became stiff, then he lowered his head without answering.

"That’s right, Emperor Nine Suns was from a Supreme Land, just like many of you here. During most of his rise, no one actually paid attention to him. By the time people realized that he was a threat, he was constantly on the run, but he never gave up as he was a man of great will and spirit.

"When the Heaven Will appeared, he showed up and did what he was supposed to do, what he believed all his life that he could do. He beat all the other participants--including both my grandparents--proved the Dao and proclaimed himself a Great Emperor.

"Now tell me, if he ever had thoughts like yours and decided to quit during all the ups and downs, all the failures, do you think he would have become such a noble being?"

The room once again became eerily quiet. As for the person who questioned Wang Wei, he sat down on his seat.

Unfortunately for hostess Xi Shi, this time the quiet was quite permeating; no one actually wanted to perform or do any other action. They all seemed to be reflecting on something.

However, Xi Shi was determined to continue with this meeting; she had foreseen that there may be intense contradictions when the ego and ideologies of all these geniuses clashed. So, she had other plans prepared just in case.

Just when Xi Shi was about to execute her plans to relieve the awkward silence in the room, a sudden rough and rude voice spread or echoed throughout, interrupting her actions:

"How rude of all you not to invite us to this party? Miss Xi Shi, do you think that we are not worthy? I think compared to all the sissy in this room, I am more man than all of them combined. Don’t you guys think so?"

"Haha, Boss, you are correct."

"Maybe you should show Miss Xi Shi how manly you truly are?"

"Boss, that’s a good idea."

"Hahaha"
