Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 891 Court Dispute

Chapter 891 Court Dispute

'The northern continent will be in chaos,' thought Ao Shen. The demon race has always been one of the weakest factions, but they control one of the largest areas.
Previously, the northern continent had no values. But with the Heavenly Court, such a place that was once considered barren is now more desirable than an Immortal-like beautiful woman who was naked.
God Positions can bring merit and blessing for cultivation. As such, too many people will do anything to get their hands on one. The best way to do so is to attack the weak demon race.
Many ideas flashed in Ao Shen's mind as he thought about how to deal with this situation. He has the strength, but these people are not stupid. After discovering they could not defeat him, they would use other ways to force him to give up the positions.
Huo Fenghuang remained calm on the surface; she could see the downside of her appointment. If she were not careful, the Ancient Clan would make countless enemies in the Eastern Continent, ruining their plans for the future.
However, she was very happy about the existence of the Heavenly Court. Once their clan cultivates a Heavenly Emperor, it will be easier to succeed.
'As long as he leaves, I might have a chance to sit on that throne,'
she thought calmly.
"We're not finished yet," continued Wang Wei. "The Sea will also be divided into five sections.
"The God of the Central Sea will be overseen by the Panlong Clan.
"The God of the Eastern Sea will be overseen by the Sea Lion Clan.
"The God of the Northern Sea will be overseen by the Dao Opening Sect.
"The God of the Western Sea will be overseen by the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"The God of the Southern Sea will be overseen by the Sword Casting Villa."
Wang Wei glanced at the Sea Race. He knew two of the three Immortal Sovereigns belonged to the Sea Race. One was injured, and the other hid deeply so as to not be affected by the world and plotted by Heavenly Dao.
The last one belonged to the Sword Casting Villa. Wang Wei did not expect these sword cultivators to be hiding so deep. Although the latter is sealed, they should be able to exit with the current era.
"Your majesty, with all due respect, I protest."
Everyone looked at the person who spoke and saw it was someone from the Sea Race. Many people waited as they knew a good show was about to happen.
The Panglong race representative took a deep breath, trying to organize his words; he knew if he were not careful, his life would be forfeited today. Even worse, his race might suffer.
"Our Sea Race–"
"Okay, I don't want to hear your nonsense," said Wang Wei. "The sea is too vast, and you people only occupied a small portion of it. So, there are no problems with dividing."
"But–"
Wang Wei gazed at him, and he did not dare open his mouth.
"The Sea Race has been hiding behind the scenes for too long.
Imagine my shock when I learn there are 2 Immortal Venerables still hiding there."
Everyone's faces changed after hearing this. Now, they understood why these two races were chosen as representatives. Immediately, they became guarded against the Sea Race.
"The situation has changed," continued Wang Wei. "You can no longer use the bare minimum when dealing with issues regarding the world while secretly conserving strength.
"If you continue this way, even if I can tolerate you, future Heavenly Emperors won't."
The Sea Races's people chose to retreat. They understood the Heavenly Emperor was determined to interfere in the affairs of the sea race. Many expected this outcome since there were plenty of signs.
The Dao Opening Sect had created many stations in the sea, gathering intelligence and resources. They were adamant about their actions and refused any of the other races' objections.
Furthermore, they could feel all these factions' weariness against their race. If they did not integrate into this era, they might suffer tremendously in the future.
"Any more questions?" asked Wang Wei.
"I have one," said Ao Shen. "Can I exchange something else for the position of the God of the Moon?"
"Your majesty, you must not," someone yelled.
"Yes. The Yin Power of the Moon can awaken animals' spiritual intelligence, turning them into demons. Such a position should never be in the hands of the Demon Race."
If the demon race holds the position of the Moon God, they can drastically increase their population. So, no one wanted for such a thing to happen.
"The Moon God Position belongs to the Eternal Dream Sect, and the Sun God Position is for the Yu Clan," responded Wang Wei, making people feel relieved. Although these positions were not as important as the main gods overseeing a continent or sea region, they were still very important to the operation of the world.
The Moon and the Sun are vital to cultivating the soul and have a great effect on mortals, so the position is very high.
Ao Shen was disappointed even though he did not have much hope.
These factions would never allow them such a great advantage.
Meanwhile, the sulking Spirit Race finally felt some relief.
The Eternal Dream Sect was half Spirit Race, Half Human factions.
They can place more emphasis on the Eternal Dream Sect to see if they can use the Moon Power to cultivate more members for their sect.
"Your majesty, I have some concerns for the future," said another representative.
Wang Wei's mouth almost twitched as he knew someone else was thinking about him after he left.
"Please?"
"What is to stop a future Heavenly Emperor from walking the same path as the Golden Ape Emperor?" asked the person, giving Ao Shen strange glances.
Although the proud dragon did not react, his trembling eyelashes showed he was trying to hide his anger. The demon race was in this situation because of the people's fear of the Golden Ape Emperor, fearing he would drive the human race close to extinction as he did near the end of the Ancient Emperor Era.
After someone asked this question, everyone paid attention to see how Wang Wei would answer.
So, he said calmly:
"Don't let them."
Everyone looked at him as if to say what kind of answer was that.
"It's simple, isn't it?" said Wang Wei as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Cultivate peerless geniuses at all costs to prevent other races from sitting in this position."
"Your majesty, things are not so simple."
Yes, making an all-out effort to cultivate genius is a major factor in creating a powerful Great Emperor. However, the biggest trouble is often to find such a genius with the potential to reach such height.
"You people cannot imagine how brilliant this era will be," said Wang Wei nonchalantly. "So, genius will be as common as dogs from now on."
Everyone was speechless; this man was so confident that it went beyond the level of arrogance, turning into a natural charm.
"Of course, you better prepare. Use the opportunity I give you in my generation to cultivate enough Immortal Sovereigns; they will serve as a restraint for future Heavenly Emperors."
Everyone's eyes lit up. The implication of these words is that this generation will be prosperous enough to cultivate many Immortal Sovereigns, which will, in turn, balance the power of the Heavenly Emperor.
No, balancing the power of future Heavenly Emperors. The monster before them is confident enough to use this generation to reach a height of power they could not fathom.
'Everything comes in full circle,' thought Xu Shi. 'Future Heavenly Emperors must be top of the line if they don't want to be figureheads and hold all the power of the Heavenly Court.
'They also must have the support of factions that have Immortal Sovereigns.'
She understood Wang Wei wanted to ensure his replacement had not only strength but also the political skill to control the court.
They must be all-rounded; otherwise, they can only occupy the benefit of the position and not the power.
Wang Wei looked at these people and smiled. The test he will leave for his successor will weed out people with extreme thoughts and ideologies. However, such a thing is not guaranteed to be perfect and detect every one.
Furthermore, a Heavenly Emperor might suddenly change during his reign after experiencing certain things. Plus, he did not think his method would be impossible to trick; he had never underestimated the abilities of these people. So, after years of studying and effort, someone might create something.
As such, he will leave a protective mechanism to prevent some other race Heavenly Emperor from destroying the human race or affecting his era. As the creator of this era and the Heavenly Court, his benefit will not end even after ascending.
Of course, Wang Wei will not care if a foreign race Emperor removed all the human God Positions and changed them to their race. As long as they have the strength and skill to do such a thing, he won't care, even if the Dao Opening Sect is affected.
After leaving all these advantages for the sect, if they cannot keep their positions and power, they can only blame themselves.
