Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

(Thanks to bloodore for the gift)

—–

Wang Wei sent a projection to the Ancient Spirit World, where the Barbarian siblings came from. As soon as he arrived, he immediately noticed the dangerous surroundings. He was currently in a place where an intense winter ravaged the land.

Not far from his position, Wang Wei saw a group of tall men, women, and children dressed in animal-made clothes. As they traveled eastward, the group led a herd of sheep, goats, cattle, and horses.

‘Migration?’

Wang Wei used his Divine Sense to learn about these people’s language and current situation from someone who appeared to be their leader. 

He learned this man was called Batu, and these mortals belonged to the Batu Tribe, ruled by the Mongke Dynasty. According to the custom of this world, only one person worthy enough can have the name of the tribe, symbolizing their status and strength.

Every few years, the 3-year winter arrives in their region, and under the Mongke Khan–ruler of the Mongke Dynasty–all tribes must migrate to an area more suitable for living.

Wang Wei spread his Divine Sense to the surrounding area and learned many things. The Ancient Spirit World is ruled by the Barbarian race, while other races are the minority. This world is not friendly to mortals as there are natural disasters all over the entire world.

Things like winter that last dozens of years, heat waves that would turn the most luscious forest into deserts, nonstop rain for years, rainstorms, thunderstorms, tsunamis, and myriad other terrible natural disasters. 

The mortals have adapted to the world by becoming nomadic societies that constantly move from one region to another. Meanwhile, cultivators will live in these severe regions and use the environment to temper their bodies.

As such, body refining is very prominent in this world. Additionally, teleportation across regions is very difficult and reserved for powerful sects because of the abnormal weather. 

Space Resources or abilities are precious in this world since most cultivators cannot teleport in the Ancient Spirit World until they become Supreme.

The situation subsequently results in animals and the demon race becoming the main form of transportation. In this world, having a good horse or demon ride is something to brag about.

Wang Wei’s projection teleported far away, trying to gather more information about this world. The most powerful Emperor Lineages of this world had 12 Great Emperors, while the second had 11–and it was the one the siblings originated.

‘So, the 12 Emperor Curse exists,’ thought Wang Wei as he analyzed the information. Based on the history, he could detect that this world once had a Nine Emperor Curse after the Setsen Tribe cultivated their ninth emperor. Then, out of nowhere, the Khutulun Tribe began to rise, producing their ninth Emperor soon afterward.

The Setsen Tribe then cultivated their tenth Emperor, and a few other tribes also cultivated their 9th Emperor. The situation repeated itself after the Setsen Tribe cultivated its 12th Emperor.

With the existence of the siblings, Wang Wei can predict that the Khutulun Tribe will catch up in this generation, maintaining the balance that Heavenly Dao desires.

As for Eternal Emperors, the Ancient Spirt World had fours, one from the Setsen and Khutulun Tribe, the other from the most powerful human faction with 6 Great Emperors, and the last one was a Loose Cultivator.

After getting the general situation of this world, Wang Wei checked the Ancient Spirit Realm, a dimension where countless spirits resided. The spirits’ level varied from ordinary animals to Innate Demons and fallen Emperors who have become spirits.

As soon as he entered this realm, Wang Wei’s projection frowned. He sensed a gaze that even brought tremendous pressure on him.

‘I was detected. And to give me such a level of pressure, it must have the power of a Great Emperor.’

After pondering for a moment, he did not go snooping and left. He headed straight for the nearest Great Thousand World in that community to check things out. He discovered the custom and environment were similar to the Ancient Spirit World. The creatures in this place could also access the Ancient Spirit Realm.

‘Could the Ancient Spirit Realm be the reason for the uncontrollable natural disaster?’ thought Wang Wei for a moment before focusing on something else.

‘This World Community is perfect for preaching Buddism. Although the resources are abundant, the disparity between mortals and cultivators is two extremes. Cultivators use the environment to their benefit, while mortals have to constantly migrate, losing countless lives in the process.

‘If there were a faction willing to help and support them, the amount of incense gathered would be astronomical. However….’

Wang Wei was worried about the Ancient Spirit Realm as he felt something was wrong with that place; it could become a stumbling block in his plan.

‘Let’s try, but do it slowly.’

After making a decision, Wang Wei sent a projection to the Star Beast World. After spreading his Divine Sense, a slight surprise appeared on his face as he appeared outside of the atmosphere.

‘A planet?’

He looked in the distance, and he saw many more planets. He teleported over there. There were many races, including humans, demons, spirit races, Barbarians, and many more. He saw planets the size of Earth, some as big as stars, and he even saw many bigger than thousands of galaxies. However, most of those appeared to be artificially created.

In one particular planet that was extremely vast, Wang Wei could tell it was the body of a cultivator.

‘A cosmic-based world. The advantage should be its vastness, while the disadvantage is the isolation of different planets, star systems, and galaxies. However, the isolation is perfect for Buddhism to secretly establish a base.’

He went on to check some of the worlds in the Lower Realm, and their composition was similar–except way smaller. After getting the information he wanted, Wang Wei finally checked on his Chat Group.

Mad King, the Assassin, the Doctor, the Scholar, the Butcher, and Wannabe God had all become Tier 6. Over the years, the group contacted each other less in a blatant attempt to reduce the effect the group or Lord of Karma had on them.

However, they realized how useless this method was when the Mad King suddenly attacked Wannabe God’s worlds, wreaking havoc in a sneak attack. Then, the group became weary of each other, planning to protect themselves or attack others.

Wang Wei did not spend much time with them but released a mission for these people to help spread Buddhism in their factions. And the reward was very generous and enticing.

Afterward, he began to create other sub-groups of the chat group based on the Heaven Will Community. Wang Wei currently had access to a few communities to recruit people in large numbers.

He divided the recruit into two groups. The first one was Sovereign or rulers, people who controlled a large population. Wang Wei chose people who had rights to the throne but did not have power for myriad reasons–mostly political or military. He would help them sit on the throne in exchange for making Buddhism the main religion and allowing them to gather incense.

The second recruited group were people with a high affinity with Buddism, and they were the group he would grant the Buddha World Seeds. These people would become monks and practice Tao Buddhism.

He also lured a few Quasi-Emperors into converting, making them serve as the protector of these new and weak monks.

All these things took him three days to accomplish. On the first day, he received a notification from Lord’s Spirit that the final trial would occur in a week despite the upper-seeded players leaving.

Wang Wei exhaled deeply after accomplishing his task.

‘The seed has been planted. Now, all I have to wait for is the towering tree.’

He did not just spread Buddhism in these World Communities; he also left his Fate Shadow Guards along with some other secret factions. And as long as he acquires more coordinates, his tentacles will continue to spread throughout the Endless Void.

Of course, Wang Wei did not intervene in the Heaven-Will Worlds. He did not infiltrate or leave any factions; it was too risky. Since he had time, Wang Wei returned home to cultivate his Acupoints into the Turtle Defense Array.

The idea of the Turtle Acupoints Defense Array is to condense a talisman that contains the power of the sect’s array. Wang Wei has to keep the talisman inside his Divine Sea. He can set up the array with his acupoints, and the talisman would be the primary power source.

The sect’s formation could be moved, and Wang Wei could keep it inside his Divine Sea. But that would leave it vulnerable, so he had to use this alternative method. The downside of both ways was the fleshly body had to be of a certain level to bear an Emperor Level talisman or array, and not all its power could be mobilized.

In just four days, Wang Wei barely started learning this array. Regardless, he had to leave to return to the trial.

Once everybody had arrived and taken their position, Lord Spirit spoke:

“The main theme of this final trial is longevity.”
