Chapter 1124 Perfect Future
1124 Perfect Future
"The operation succeeded in over 900 world communities," reported w.a.n.g Ju.
"And the remaining 100?"
"Things didn"t go as planned."
"Tian Wenyan"s doing?"
"Yes," nodded w.a.n.g Ju. "He acted swiftly and created a correlation of the remaining world communities, holding on to their last breath. I figured they were weak enough, and there was no need to focus too much on them now."
"That"s a good call, but keep an eye on him if he tries to get allies from the world communities not influenced by this war. "Although this war was ma.s.sive, it only affected a third of the lower dimension, leaving more than 2000 world communities untouched.
"I"ve already a.s.signed people for this task."
w.a.n.g Wei nodded, "How are the lower dimensions of these captured world communities doing?"
"Due to lack of population, we could only infiltrate the truly valuable worlds - the ones that produce rare resources for the Commerce Hub," explained w.a.n.g Ju. "Once everything is settled, we can focus on expansion in these places."
"Your expansion should not only be those places but the entire lower dimensions," said w.a.n.g Wei. "You must have eyes in every corner of this place and also have a large pool to recruit people."
w.a.n.g Ju"s eyes squinted as she felt this expansion did not seem like it was simply because her master wanted a large information-gathering agency. The Commerce Hub is, without a doubt, the greatest power in the lower dimension, and after their defeat, no one will truly be able to resist her master"s advancement. In other words, the role of their Fate Shadow Guards should have been diminished, becoming the eye of the Dao Opening Sect to maintain their powers and ensure the longevity of the Heavenly Emperor Era. But now, she was smelling something different.
"You"ll know when the times are correct," said w.a.n.g Wei calmly.
"I understand."
"Anything else?"
"This is for you." w.a.n.g Ju offered a group of talismans. "Those are the ident.i.ty tokens of the commerce rulers. They should allow you to control the headquarters as soon as possible." These people would never allow the president absolute control of the headquarters, so they had long divided his power and created protocols to restrict him when needed.
"Excellent," w.a.n.g Wei praised with a genuine smile on his face.
"Lastly, what should I do with the Fist Saint Emperor?" Once w.a.n.g Wei controls the headquarters, his immortality will be gone.
"Try to make him into one of our own. If that fails, search his soul for information before turning him into resources."
"As you wish."
"Anything else?"
"No."
w.a.n.g Wei dismissed her, so she disappeared. He then activated the talismans, so they floated in the air in a circular position. They rotated until they turned into light before fusing on the ground. w.a.n.g Wei immediately smiled as he sensed the connection with this enormous continent.
"The right person can indeed use strength on par with the limit of 10-Fold if they can bear this power," he thought as he finished placing his imprint on the formation to ensure absolute control. Once that was a success, he pointed into the sky to manifest numerous karmic threads connected to the continent.
w.a.n.g Wei cut most of the threads. From then on, no one knew that the Commerce Hub"s headquarters used to be a powerful weapon, except for someone like Chen Tong. Beside him, everyone who knew had their memories wiped out. w.a.n.g Wei"s next step was to move the headquarters" continent with a new one and shrink the original Void Beast one until it was as small as a toy on his palm.
"You will be the headquarters of the h.e.l.l Court," w.a.n.g Wei declared. He did not point to leaving the continent and all its power for the Myriad Emperor World or the Dao Opening Sect but for the h.e.l.l Court. These people need to be seen as a real threat to his era for his plan to work, or True Heavenly Dao will immediately see them as hopeless and choose someone else as the balance mechanism for this era once the time arrives. So, he opted to give them a powerful weapon/headquarters.
"I know my actions will bite me back in the future, but it"s the best choice for now," muttered w.a.n.g Wei before sending an invitation through the Dream World to summon all his allies during this war - it was time to wrap things and deal with the aftermath.
The meeting room was different from the typical court sessions. w.a.n.g Wei still sat on his throne on the front, but he was not alone. He created numerous thrones on his left and right for the others to sit on. He chose this decor as a sign of respect for his allies. People like Ji Lanfang and Wrath were technically equal to him and his peers as Heavenly Emperor, so it would be disrespectful for them to stand like courtiers - even though w.a.n.g Wei knew they would not mind or dare say anything.
He even created thrones for his "courtier" to show respect, so all Eternal Powerhouses-even Immortal Sovereigns-had a seat. However, the other Immortals and mortals had to stand as usual.
It did not take long for everyone to show up. w.a.n.g Wei did not reserve seats or put people"s names; it was a who comes, first serve situation. Soon, everyone showed up for the meeting, including Wrath, who w.a.n.g Wei had been adamant before about not being seen with her public.
He had a change of heart because he recently saw a perfect future or a future with the highest probability of happening. In that future, the people responsible for the destruction of his era used his connection with the demon race to rally allies. They did so despite having no proof and the fact that the Neo-Devil Race has been integrated into many worlds and communities, and they"ve had a positive image.
The interesting thing about this perfect future is that one of the leaders of the h.e.l.l Court will be responsible for ending the Heavenly Emperor Era. In other words, w.a.n.g Wei"s own creation will indeed expand the era way past its expiration date, but it will also lead to its destruction.
After knowing this truth, w.a.n.g Wei decided it was pointless to try to hide his relations.h.i.+p with Wrath. Better yet, his actions now can ensure that the Myriad Emperor World has a strong ally like the Neo-Devil during the rise of the h.e.l.l Court.
As for the perfect future? It was not absolute. True Heavenly Dao cannot plan the downfall of his era as long as he can achieve Half-Step Transcendence before that period.
Wrath glanced at w.a.n.g Wei, wondering why he decided to meet so publicly. However, she did not ask as she guessed he must have his reasons; she did not think it would be a mistake as every move this man made was calculated.
The meeting room was quiet as everyone waited for things to start. However, as soon as Ye Dafu appeared, he broke the quiet:
"w.a.n.g Wei boy, I like your seating arrangement." w.a.n.g Wei rolled his eyes. "But can you make a seat for my new wife?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"She may have garnered your trust but not mine."
Ye Dafu sighed before slumping on his chair, "I don"t like it when you"re like this."
"Welcome, everyone," said w.a.n.g Wei, ignoring the monkey. "Before we start everything, I would like to thank you for trusting me, even going as far as putting your lives on the line. I"m grateful beyond words can explain."
w.a.n.g Wei paused for less than two seconds before continuing; he did not want to give these people time to think whether his words were genuine or not. Ultimately, it did not matter especially since most of them did it not out of trust but fear.
"We"ve suffered, and now, it"s time to reap the benefits of our trials and tribulations." w.a.n.g Wei raised his hand to manifest a holographic map of the lower dimension. "Currently, close to a third of the lower dimension is drastically weakened, and many worlds are without an Emperor or protector. This is our chance. We use this power vacuum to expand, conquer, and spread our influences."
The people looked at this map with great concentration; many people had to use their willpower not to salivate.
"I have already organized a charter with the territory you will be responsible for this expansion and your benefits," continued w.a.n.g Wei as he snapped his finger to send the information to everyone.
"The charter also contains the rules and restrictions for this expansion-the most prominent being that more resources can be plundered from these worlds as punishment for their actions, but mindless killing for vengeance and hatred is not allowed. Do you have any questions or comments?"
"I have one," said Xu s.h.i.+. "We lost more than 90% of our troops, so we do not have the means for a military exploit at the moment."
"Didn"t you plan to revive our fallen people?" asked w.a.n.g Wei. "Do so. Don"t stop at our people; revive the enemy"s soldiers into undead or turn their dead bodies into puppets. Use summoning techniques for more troops, and you can also access a few of the commerce"s resources to help in the revival. Let the Mortal Civilization be responsible for the Smaller Thousand Worlds and the Mortal Worlds."
w.a.n.g Wei suddenly paused as he thought of something, "Don"t use any undead techniques that involve the soul. We don"t want to upset Samsara."
"Very well," nodded Xu s.h.i.+.
