888 The End and The Beginning
888 The End and The Beginning
As soon as Wang Wei arrived, someone rushed into his arms.
“I’m so glad you’re okay,” said Yu Yan, holding her son tightly as if this would be their last meeting. She saw how dangerous the battle was and how close her son came to death; she saw the pain in his eyes after losing Li Jun.
At that point, Yu Yan did not care whether he succeeded; she only wanted him to return home safe and sound.
“I’m fine,” said Wang Wei, reassuring her while gently caressing her back. Wang Tian had already walked before him, calmer than his mother. However, Wang Wei could detect his raging emotions; he knew the latter was only trying to remain calm to show his majesty as a father.
“I cannot tell you how proud I am,” said Wang Tian, patting his son’s shoulder. He had dreamt of this moment for over a million years, and when it finally happened, he did not know what to say. All the words and emotions he wished to convey were condensed into this single phrase.
“Where is grandfather?”
Wang Wei did not finish his words before hearing a boisterous laugh from the hall. From such a distance, he could smell the stench of alcohol.
“He’s been bragging to his old friend ever since you won,” said Wang Tian, shaking his head in helplessness. Wang Wei wanted to say he thought all his old friends were dead, but he knew this was inappropriate.
“Let’s go see him.”
Wang Wei walked into the hall with his mother tightly holding onto his arm.
“My grandson, come drink with me,” said Wang Chang, inviting Wang Wei to sit beside him. “My grandson is an Emperor, no, an Eternal Emperor. Wait, maybe something more.”
He looked at Wang Wei before shaking his head, “That’s not important for now. I can now die peacefully. And when I see the ancestors of the Wang Clan in the afterlife, I can brag for all eternity.”
Wang Tian’s mouth twitched. Many of the Wang Clan’s ancestors are alive and well. So, isn’t his father cursing them to die?
Wang Wei did not care as much about etiquette as his father, so he drank with the old man.
“Do you have better wine? You’re an Emperor; you should have better wine.”
“Father, Wei’er has just proven the Dao; how could he have time to brew wine.”
“That’s true,” replied Wang Chang with some regret; he felt the current wine was not up to par with the occasion. Wang Wei shook his head before taking out a jar of wine.
As soon as he opened the lid, Wang Chang’s eyes lit up: “This wine.”
“It has been blessed with the Grand Dao Source for only 33 years, but it should be enough for this occasion.”
Wang Wei will need high-level wine and cuisine for his Essence Flower Ability. So, one of the first things he did after proving the Dao was using his Grand Dao Source to brew wine and nourish his food.
Now that he has acquired the Array Grand Dao Source, he will install arrays to ensure a better nourishment process for his food, wine, and other materials.
“Excellent,” said Wang Chang, his voice as loud as ever. The family had a great dinner. Everybody was doing well until Yu Yan said something.
“What a great day for our family,” said Wang Tian.
“Indeed. In the future, our family will continue to prosper,” added Wang Chang, who knew that many of their family plans would have no problems now that Wang Wei became an Emperor.
“If only she were here,” said Yu Yan with a sigh, immediately quieting the room. She instantly realized her mistake, looking at her son with worry.
“I’m fine,” said Wang Wek, looking at the empty spot at the table. “Anyway, after I ascend, I will search for her.”
Everyone gave him their reassurance that everything would be fine.
“Let’s not mention this,” said Wang Wei. “I feel something is different about you.”
“You noticed?” nodded Wang Tian. “After comprehending your scripture, I have almost met the requirement to achieve Nine Supremacy.”
“That’s great news.” Wang Wei understood what was happening. The scripture of an Eternal Supreme has a low probability of allowing someone to understand a small portion of [Existence].
His Immeasurable Emperor Tier Scripture has drastically increased that probability–even though it is still low. So, with his father’s talent, he succeeded in that low probability.
Wang Wei raised his hand to summon his scripture.
“Here.”
He handed the scripture to his father before condensing a second one for his mother:
“This version contains my direct preaching about [Existence].”
Wang Wei did not have high hopes for his mother. She has the talent to become an Eternal Emperor, but it’s on the low end of the spectrum, similar to Emperor Kong. So, if she wished to become an Eternal Emperor, he had to give her some aid and scheme something.
Nevertheless, he wanted to try, and even if she failed, the scripture would deepen her foundation and give her tremendous help for the future.
Yu Yan and Wang Tian placed the scriptures away, knowing this was not the time for cultivation.
“I will search for a special Longevity Qi for your situation,” said Wang Wei to his grandfather.
“No need to worry. The Grand Dao Baptism has greatly alleviated my situation.”
“That’s good. Are you prepared to face Emperor Nine Suns?”
“No problem.”
“Do you want to do it as soon as possible?”
“No, I want to see the great era you’re about to create.”
Wang Wei nodded before spending the entire day with his family. The next day, his grandfather continued drinking, and his father went to retreat, leaving only his mother, who wanted to continue spending time with him.
Wang Wei went to see the Ancestors. He found himself in a large room with one seat, followed by countless people standing. In the front row were the named Insurgent, like Origin One, Sword One, etc.
He looked at all these Immortals cultivators, knowing this was the true foundation of the sect. And his job will be to deepen that foundation.
He looked at everybody, focusing on the people in front. He saw someone he did not recognize.
“That’s Shadow One,” explained Origin One. “He’s in charge of the safety of the Wang Clan in the hidden world.”
Wang Wei remembered the Shadow Ruler Emperor had two Insurgents. The first was Ruler, cultivated the normal way, and the second was Shadow One, cultivated through the Shadow Lord Art.
With a quick look, Wang Wei knew this person’s history. He was the sect master that Shadow Ruler defeated before becoming the sect master and proving the Dao.
“Sect Master,” saluted Shadow One.
Wang Wei nodded to him.
“Sect master, someone sent a Talisman yesterday,” said Sword One. “We did not want to interrupt your family time, so we waited until today.”
Wang Wei received the talisman and used it.
“Xu Shi has already returned?” he muttered.
“Is that true?”
“Yes.”
“That means the Academy also has an Eternal Emperor?”
Everyone looked at Wang Wei for confirmation, so Wang Wei nodded.

“It will not,” explained Wang Wei calmly. “I can also tell you that Huo Fenghuang and Ao Shen have already become 6-Star Primarchs. Soon, Feng Heng will also become an Eternal. Plus, I have detected 3 Immortal Sovereigns hiding in this world.
“However, even if they all work together, they cannot stop me.”
Everyone quieted down, shock visible on their faces. However, soon, it was replaced by excitement. Yes, their sect master was an unparalleled talent this world has never seen. So they don’t have to worry.
“So, will this world really become a place where Emperors, Dao Ancestors, and Immortal Venerables walked on the surface, becoming a common thing?” muttered one of the cultivators. However, with the cultivation of everyone present, they heard him loud and clear.
“It’s good that you have this strength and are confident,” said Origin One. “However, their existence will still have some effect, even if minimal.”
“I have taken that into consideration,” nodded Wang Wei; he was calm as ever, not letting his strength get into his head.
“You said that Feng Heng will prove the Dao, meaning he has not yet? Should we interfere in his promotion?”
“Is that even possible?”
“It’s possible since he’s most likely using an unorthodox path.”
The rise of Buddhism will bring about a large quantity of merit. If the sect plays their cards correctly, they can get a handful of it. Weakening their leader, Feng Heng, would be an ideal step toward that goal.
“No need,” said Wang Wei. “I owe Buddhism great karma, so not only must we not interfere, we must strive for their flourishment.”
“Sect master, we can still allow Buddhism to flourish while also eliminating Feng Heng.”
“Yes, you could be the new leader of Buddhism.”
Wang Wei looked at the two fearless guys who said these words and shook his head, “The karma involved in Buddhism is something even I’m afraid of. But you want to get involved in that quagmire?”
These two immortals immediately felt the fear of God deep in their souls; their transcended bodies began to sweat for the first time in billions of years.
“Is it that scary?” asked Origin One. They had been planning things for years, so unlike these people, they knew about the rise of Buddhism sooner and the fact their leader, Feng Heng, would use merit to prove the Dao.
So, a few of them tried to convince Wang Wei before to take the leadership position of Buddhism. But Wang Wei has always been vague about why he rejected their proposal, so they thought of waiting until he proved the Dao, when he had no far before persuading him once more.
But now, it appeared things were not simple.
“Let me put it simply: even the current founders, with their incomprehensible realms, cannot get involved in this matter–let alone me.”
Origin and Sword One’s faces became extremely serious as they were one of the few who knew the meaning of these words.
“In the future, even after I leave, do not easily get entangled in the affairs of Buddhism,” warned Wang Wei. “Help if you can without losing too much. If it’s not worth it, don’t interfere.”
Wang Wei knew he was already in Maitreya’s camp in this battle, but he also did not want to get too involved–until he had more power and a deeper understanding of her realm.
“As you wish.”
“Alright, let’s get back to business,” said Wang Wei. “Is everything ready?”
“Yes.”
“Excellent. Let’s move.”
Wang Wei handed three talismans. The first one went to Sword One, who headed to the Commerce Hub. The second was to Ruler One, who headed to the outside Fate Guards responsible for spreading a spy network across other World Communities.
He’s responsible for Wang Ju’s job, and she will take over after she becomes an Insurgent.
The third talisman belonged to an Immortal Cultivator who was Miscellaneous One’s apprentice. His job was to head to the Battle Spirit World, where his mission was to keep watch on the Spirit Genesis Sect.
Finally, time passed, and the hundred-year deadline arrived.
Wang Wei once again appeared above the Heavens, all eyes from myriad races on him. He was above a deserted place in the Central Continent. He waved his hand, and a towering tree manifested.
“World Tree,” thought everybody watching with greed in their eyes. However, they soon remembered who this thing belonged to.
Subsequently, a beautiful palace appeared in the sky. Everyone was shocked as this palace was too beautiful. At one glance, people will have one thought in their mind:
[A place worthy of a peerless Emperor.]
The palace was grand. Although it was called a palace, it was as large as any Small Thousand World. Furthermore, the space expanded as Wang Wei fused the palace with the World Tree.
Wang Wei pointed at certain areas, and the watchers immediately felt the changes. A vast quantity of Innate Qi appeared in one area, while in the second area, they detected Immortal Qi.
‘I really need that Immortal Source,’ thought Wang Wei, not satisfied with the level of Immortal Qi. He used his Qi Flower Ability to connect to the Source Qi Space, finding a few areas with Innate Qi and Immortal Qi.
However, he was not satisfied with the Immortal Qi Veins he discovered.
Finally, someone appeared before Wang Wei.
“Are you ready?” he asked.
“Yes.”
Wang Wei looked at the old beggar, thinking about their first meeting during the Academy’s Trial or their relationship during his Supreme Outlaw Trial.
“There is no going back now.”
“I know, and I’m prepared.”
A third eye appeared on the beggar’s head. Wang Wei knew it was the Heaven Dao Innate Treasure he used to ‘pass” his Supreme Outlaw Trial, allowing him to continue using his Heaven Dao.
“Very well.”
Wang Wei’s eyes penetrated the world’s core and saw the physical manifestation of Heavenly Dao–a cloud-like creature. With a flick of his finger, he suppressed Heavenly Dao, forced it out of the world’s core, and shoved it into the beggar’s body.
During the entire process, Heavenly Dao did not resist for two reasons. Firstly, it was pointless to resist. The current Wang Wei’s strength is not something he could resist.
Furthermore, as an Emperor, he has a high immunity to karma, so it won’t matter if he slaughtered every living creature in the world–
including Heavenly Dao itself.
Lastly, Wang Wei already communicated his plan, and Heavenly Dao agreed after asking for a few negotiating points.
Immediately afterward, the old beggar’s eyes became cold and indifferent, and a subtle aura appeared on his third eye.
Wang Wei waved his hand to send the old beggar to a special palace area.
Finally, Wang Wei’s voice once again echoed throughout the world:
“I am the Fate Dominating Emperor. From now on, I will be the Heavenly Emperor, controlling the ups and downs of Heaven and Earth.”
Auspicious sounds and visions appeared in the sky, celebrating the birth of this new Karma Position.
The Watcher Sect:
An old man took out a book, and words appeared on it:
“The twenty-third day of the third month, Year 123.45 billion of the Current Era, the Heavenly Emperor Era began. The Fate Dominating Emperor declared the old era the Dragon-Raising Era, signifying the era’s purpose was to raise a proud and majestic dragon.”
Then, a section of the book changed. The eras’ name changed:
Chaos Era→ Primordial Era→ Beginning Emperor Era→ Void (Null) Era→ Ancient Emperor Era→ Incense (Faith) Era→ Devil Era→ Middle Emperor Era(Academy Dao Era)→ New Emperor Era (Dragon-Raising Era)–> Heavenly Emperor Era.
