Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

[AN: Supreme God Tian has been changed to Supreme God Shen Tian.]

"Lets' see how things proceed with the Assembly," Wang Wei said. "However, if things proceed as I said, you need to keep an eye on any Paragon from the temple that suddenly leaves or is kicked out for any reason."

"I understand," Xie Huan nodded.

"So, what's the third major event?"

"It's about Emperor Kong."

"Oh?" Wang Wei said, suddenly more intrigue.

"Not long after your retreat, a small-scale battle occurred between the Emperor Enlightening Academy and the Grand Sect Alliance," Xie Huan revealed.

"Did Su Ya ascend?" Wang Wei immediately asked.

"As wise as ever," Xie Huan praised. "Lin Fan tracked her as soon as she ascended. Unfortunately for him, the people from the Yin Moon Palace were also anticipating her arrival. They met and fought.

"The person from the palace was a Paragon, but he hadn't returned to her peak, so Lin Fan killed her. However, she bought enough time for Su Ya to return to the alliance, albeit with only her soul."

Wang Wei smiled strangely after hearing this: "How did the alliance respond to this attack?"

"They sent five Peak Paragon Puppets, and with a brilliant array, Paragon Kong and his people were able to hold on and push the enemy," Xie Huan revealed.

"Five? In some ways, they still underestimate the academy," he commented. "Knowing these people, they wouldn't give up after the first attempt. Did we intervene?"

"No, Buddhism did."

"Oh?" Wang Wei was not expecting that.

"They publicly announced Paragon Kong's status as the Destiny Chosen of the catastrophe, and the fact that he was under their protection until the foreseeable future."

"So, Maitreya protected him? As the Chosen One of this catastrophe, his existence is crucial to the world. However, her actions might also be because she didn't intervene and increase the tension toward the Grand Sect Alliance," Wang Wei analyzed. It was already bad for the world's unity that the demons and Innate Demon Gods were fighting; it would be catastrophic if the Dao Opening Sect and the Grand Sect Alliance also started showing their fangs.

Wang Wei checked his token for a second time, and as expected, he found the news that the sect chose Kong as an ally, allowing him early access to the benefit of the Merit Scroll. This meant Kong, Lin Fan, and Xu Shi should have the highest cultivation among the people from the trial.

"Did you ever find out what Kong did with Paragon Jimin?"

"We did," Xie Huan replied before handing him an information talisman. "A new shadow agency called the Stealers has recently shown its head, and they've been growing at an alarming rate. According to our investigation, they are from the Academy, most likely created from Paragon Jimin's Dao."

"Interesting," Wang Wei muttered. One of his plans was to study Jimin's Dao and incorporate it into his Fate Shadow Guards. However, it seemed Kong had gotten his power before him. "Send Kong a message. Tell him I'm cashing in one of my karma debts. I want all the information he gathered about Jimin's power."

Since Kong had done most of the work for him, he would gladly accept the fruit of his labor. Now, he only needs to wait for Red Mask and Wang Ju to perfectly incorporate his Thief Dao into his guard. 'I think I'll call them Fatestealers — yes, that's an excellent name,' Wang Wei thought.

"As you wish," Xie Huan nodded.

"Anything else to report?"

"Yes. First, Grand Elder Wang Bo wishes to see you. However, he refuses to tell me why."

"That's understandable," Wang Wei nodded.

"Secondly, we've received news from Red Mask. She said her mission was a success, but something went wrong, and she was injured. She asked whether to take the risk to return home or wait and observe for a while."

"Take a risk? Has she been compromised?" Wang Wei muttered with squinted eyes. The only way it would be risky for her to return home from an injury was if she noticed someone might be trying to use her as a pawn. Wang Wei closed his eyes to sense his connection with her. He did not approach, but observed from a distance. Then, without hesitation, he used his dominion over her to forcefully annihilate Red Mask.

Wang Wei opened his eyes and raised his hand to condense a shadow cocoon. "Feed her the best shadow materials to ensure she's revived as soon as possible," he ordered.

"Yes, lord."

"Once she's back, put her through the [Existence Observing Artifact]." Although he killed Red Mask's previous body, Wang Wei wanted to be careful in case he missed something.

"Yes."

"By the way, what happened to the artifact? Did the ancestors find other people with problems?" He created an artifact for the sect to observe people's [Existence] and find people with problems. Yu Cai had discovered a few people, but the cultivators from the ultimate taboo hadn't been checked yet.

"Such information is above my status," Xie Huan replied truthfully, forcing Wang Wei to check his token. A few people were "contaminated," but Qiyuan and the others haven't decided how to deal with them. There will probably be a meeting to discuss what course of action to take.

Xie Huan's subsequent report was about minor things; for example, Jia Ping did an excellent job of establishing his dynasty. The Puppet Demon was locked somewhere, with his sole purpose in life to build as many puppets as possible. The Divine Faith Haven has been eerily quiet since the return of Supreme God Shen Tian. The Skill Path Association has been increasingly bold and direct in its demands for its artifact, and the Grand Sect Alliance has controlled its outward desire for Black Heart.

After finishing her report, Xie Huan left and Wang Wei chose to catch on more fish before seeing Wang Bo. "Hmm? A small amount of purple merit? I wonder whose faction has been saving this thing for an emergency," Wang Wei chuckled before an idea struck his mind.

Merit will become crucial in the next few years, especially since there are some items that he wants to buy. For example, there are a variety of Time Rooms for exchange in the scroll, and these things have an acceleration of over 10 times. Although they are only for one-time use, they are still valuable.

According to the description, there is also something called the Primal Room, which can train and increase a person's chances of becoming a Primal Paragon. Those two are just a few things that are useful for Wang Wei. Unfortunately, these items belonged to the very best of the Paragon Section, making them extremely pricey.

With an evil smirk on the corner of his mouth, Wang Wei started robbing the factions without any Primal of their merit. The process was smooth, with a few lineages that had a somewhat challenging protective array requiring him to be careful before bypassing their defenses.

"What a great hall," Wang Wei grinned. The merit was enough for him to exchange something called the [Origin Essence] from the scroll, allowing him to reach the Elder Fiendgod Realm Seven Heaven in record time.

'The wife's food and my Essence Flower Talent should allow me to reach the Eighth Heaven. I haven't used the reward from [Causal Feedback Sutra] that copied Old Man Tianji. The feedback should get me another Heaven with plenty left overs, and finally, I'll only need to take an Ascending Essence Pill to instantly reach the Tenth Heaven,' Wang Wei smiled. Of course, he needed to solve his bloodline problem first, but it was a thing to celebrate that he had all the resources for his flesh to reach the peak as soon as possible.

'While this is good news, there is also bad news,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'My Willpower is technically only 98%, and all this rapid increase in cultivation may not help me reach the peak.'

There is no way to instantly raise his willpower, and even if there were, Wang Wei would not use them. Once his 12th revolution is perfected, his bloodline will have the ability to temper his mind, but unlike the other aspects of his cultivation, it will be a slow process.

'Ultimately, all my problems are because things keep happening and I'm forced to grow as fast as possible,' Wang Wei complained. If not for the fact that he has to participate in event after event, he would have plenty of time to temper his body and cultivate.

This situation is why he's still contemplating the feasibility of his plan to travel to the past and use the time wisely to train all his skills and make up for his young age.

'No point in complaining,' he sighed as he slowly stood up from his fishing spot. He stretched before sending Wu Hong a talisman to tell her he may be slightly late. Then, he teleported away to see that old man with a small filter.
