Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 979 The New Rules

979 The New Rules

"Heaven above, I, the Cosmic Thunder Emperor, today, create the Heavenly Court to regulate the world and bring prosperity to all sentient beings."

Mu Lei's voice echoed through every planet, star field, and galaxy of this world, sounding like a whisper to everybody's ears. Then, a projection of his Heavenly Court manifested above the sky, and everyone could see it.

'Cosmic Thunder? Cosmic should be from the star-related system. His name is [Lei], which also means thunder. Did he also choose thunder as his Dao because of this?' analyzed Wang Wei before looking at this world's Heavenly Court.

The aesthetic was completely different from his, having a more [starry sky] feeling than his court's [ethereal, noble, and immortal atmosphere]. The court was designed to be more suitable for this world.

'I could add a similar aesthetic to my court, making it more beautiful,' thought Wang Wei, feeling his court should be the most beautiful since it's the orthodox one.

While he was deep in thought with his interior design project, Mu Lei summoned every major faction in the Star Beast World for the first meeting. Wang Wei did not attend but looked at things from the shadows.

Mu Lei sat on his throne with Tong Ruobing sitting by his side. Wang Wei noticed some people giving her side-eyes, including members of the Star Lord Mountain.

Wang Wei did not take long to guess the reason.

Some people were dissatisfied with Tong Ruobing as Mu Lei's partner. Previously, they supported this marriage because she had the potential to be an Eternal Emperor, but she failed in her battle.

Of course, the defeat is not the main reason for this change of heart. After all, Tong Ruobing's talent still exists, and with Mu Lei's help, she has a high chance of proving the Dao to the next generation. However, the creation of the court and the position of Queen Mother involved great benefits, including an opportunity to use merit to prove the Dao.

As Wang Wei prevented Tong Ruobing or Mu Lei from revealing the content of the technique, this opportunity became even more valuable. So, some people did not want it to go to her, probably even asking Mu Lei to choose another Dao Partner???most likely someone from their factions.

The meeting continued, and the first thing Mu Lei did was to display his power to these factions. He showed them the sealed Immortal Sovereigns, using them as leverage to have absolute control over the court.

Mu Lei was not greedy and followed Wang Wei's model to share the benefit with everybody else. He also followed the same model: the court's position was not hereditary, and someone could take the throne in each generation.

He mentioned how only first-class emperors could take the position, but Mu Lei did not mention anything after leaving a test to determine whether an emperor was worthy. He did not have Wang Wei's prestige, so he could not be as arrogant as him; otherwise, the Star Lord Mountain would suffer from backlash after he leaves.

Mu Lei did not mention much about the position of Regents when there were no First Class Emperors in the world.

'Vert smart move,' thought Wang Wei as he figured out Mu Lei's tactic. The latter knew the limitations of his strength and lack of prestige, so he planned to buy himself time to increase his strength.

Mu Lei was someone with great, untapped potential. So, with the help of the Heavenly Emperor's position, his strength will drastically increase in the next few thousand years. Once he is powerful enough, and with Tong Ruobing's help, he can act semi-arrogant like Wang Wei, determining the position of Regent and even the tests to determine the next Heavenly Emperor.

And before he achieves these goals, he will use the Immortal Sovereigns as his hostage and blackmail material.

Wang Wei watched the [God Conferring Ceremony]. The Star Beast World was different, so there were a few differences from the Myriad Emperor World despite Mu Lei also dividing it into ten main positions.

Positions like the God of Space, Stars, Suns, and Moons were invaluable compared to their counterparts in the Myriad Emperor World. As such, he must control these positions, ensuring they go to the Star Lord Mountain and his allies who stayed by his side during times of adversity.

Wang Wei watched everything, including the process of receiving the merit. He closed his eyes, sensing something. He felt the destiny and luck associated with his Heavenly Emperor Era bloomed with a new light of prosperity. As the founder, his luck and merit reached another level.

'Yes, the lower dimension's future is for every Heaven Will World and World Community to enter the Heavenly Emperor Era. By then, True Heavenly Dao would not have to use much power to properly ensure the lower dimension functions.

'All that power can then be focused on dealing with Supreme Unity.'

Wang Wei could not fathom how much benefit he would receive in the process. However, what truly matters is he can weaken his current greatest enemy???Supreme Unity.

In this battle of Half-Step Transcendence, his ability can play a role???no matter how small.

Wang Wei suddenly felt a terrifying gaze full of killing intent; it was extremely brief before disappearing, but it made his heart literally skip a beat. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky before sneering.

He did not have any personal conflict with Supreme Unity. Unfortunately, the latter was his enemy due to circumstance, so he would treat him like he did all his enemies???ruthlessly destroying them at all costs.

Wang Wei ignored the previous sensation as he closed his eyes again, feeling the changes in Heaven and Earth.

'My prediction was correct. True Heavenly Dao has established new rules for becoming a Heavenly Emperor.

It seems to be a trial?'

From now on, no one can use his or Mu Lei's method to sit on that throne. Emperors must pass a test from True Heavenly Dao to hold the karma position of Heavenly Dao.

Wang Wei secretly shook his head after dividing the test.

There was no limit on strength, so technically, even a third-class Emperor could become a Heavenly Emperor based on True Heavenly Dao's standard. However, such a class of Emperor cannot bear the power of a Heaven-Will World. They would be paralyzed if they took the position as they tried to share more burdens for Heavenly Dao.

So, if a third-class Emperor wishes to hold this position, he or she must give up most of his or her powers and share a small burden with Heavenly Dao.

Wang Wei focused on the other rules of the test. There is a need for a certain level of Dao Heart; karma cannot be too negative, and temperament cannot be too extreme.

Dao Ancestors, Immortal Venerables, Immortal Sovereigns, and Insurgents cannot be official [Heavenly Emperor].

'Is this rule because I left the position of Regent for the Dao Opening Sect?' thought Wang Wei. These other paths of immortality cannot sit on the throne officially, but they can serve as regent during generations when no worthy Emperors appear.

Wang Wei did not dwell too long on this subject as he had three main rules remaining-the first one involved foreign Emperors. People from other World Communities can become the Heavenly Emperor in a foreign plane, but the test they take will be ten times more challenging.

Furthermore, that's only if they have not wasted their two attempts.

'So, each person has two attempts at the test? When was True Heavenly Dao so generous?' thought Wang Wei before acquiring the answer to his question. An Emperor can try again after failing the first test, but the second test will also be exponentially more difficult.

Furthermore, if a person fails the two tests, they cannot go to another Heaven Will and try again.

'The rules are strict but also leave room for maneuvering,'

thought Wang Wei, thinking of his situation. A Great Emperor could pass Heavenly Dao's trial but fail the one he left. Such an Emperor cannot sit on the throne even though Heaven and Earth technically acknowledge them.

The same can apply to other World Communities if a powerful Great Emperor appears and leaves their mark on the court.

'The Heavenly Emperor Era will be prosperous beyond anything people can imagine. If I can fuse my [Existence] with the word [Heavenly Emperor], I can imagine how difficult it would be to kill me.'

Eternal Emperors from the lower dimension have another advantage???it's difficult to interact with the lower dimension. As such, when killing them, there will be some restrictions or interference because of the world's rules.

This advantage will be magnified on Wang Wei once he succeeds in his plan. Wang Wei smiled after thinking about this:

'Things have been going smoothly recently. I should be more careful in case my luck is too prosperous.'

His eyes squinted as he waited for the meeting to end. He still had a few finishing touches to make before returning home.
