Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1574

Chapter 1574: The Assembly Ends

"Something is wrong," Wang Bo said as he looked at Ying Zheng and the other four standing a small step behind Maitreya. "Why are their muscles so tense as if they are under tremendous pressure?" Almost all these people are Primals, meaning they should have absolute control over their strength. Yet, even someone like Wang Bo can notice something wrong with them.

"Then, there is Kong. He is physically sweating," Wang Bo added.

"Do you think it’s a simple matter to alleviate the burden of Heavenly Dao?" Wang Wei replied. This was not the lower dimension where a Third-Class Emperor was on par with Heavenly Dao, or an Eternal Emperor could suppress an entire World Community.

"They should be fine after more people are selected to bear the burden," Qiyuan explained.

"Will the burden be completely done?"

"No."

"In that case, isn’t the position a liability?" Wang Bo asked.

"He has already perfected the system," Yan Hai said. "We will need to refine a special artifact to bear the brunt during battle."

"It seems like I need to read more about your adventure in the lower dimension," Wang Bo said while giving Wang Wei side eyes. However, the latter ignored him.

"I suddenly thought of something," Wang Wei said. "How is the original concept of the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Court supposed to operate?" The concept of Heavenly Emperor existed in the world, but Wang We created his own system and did not follow the established path.

"The Heavenly Emperor Position was supposed to only appear when an error or problem occurred in the operations of the world’s Heaven Laws. The Heavenly Court was a special area directly connected to the laws that the Emperor would spend countless years in isolation helping fix the issue," Qiyuan explained.

"That sounds like a miserable state of existence," Wang Wei commented. All he could picture was a man sitting on a throne, alone and isolated, bearing the ultimate burden as it helped save the world.

"That was the point," Qiyuan said. "After serving their time, the Heavenly Emperor would be free and blessed with the title. They were not supposed to have this much freedom or political power.

"Your system redefined how this position operated, and it seemed both Heavenly Dao and Grand Dao liked your approach better."

"They love my idea, but the amount of compensation I receive does not correspond to how valuable it was," Wang Wei sneered.

"You should take it to them."

"Maybe one day, I will," Wang Wei replied. "By the way, there is something else that’s been bothering me. Why are you so quiet?"

"Excuse me?"

"Everyone seemed to be making great moves, but you — the one who is usually the mastermind — has remained quiet. I don’t believe for a second you’re just waiting for me. You must have some things planned."

"I do, but now is not the time," Qiyuan said calmly.

"Are you waiting for all 13 original Emperors to become Peak Paragons?"

"That’s one of the things I’m waiting for," Qiyuan nodded calmly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Wang Wei squinted. "All this time, I’ve been worrying about Ying Zheng but forgot about you. You already have a perfect and universal Soul Quintessence Technique. All you need is a few transcendent foundations, and your transcendent path will be prepared."

Qiyuan looked at him, smiled, and shook his head. "If only things were that simple." Wang Wei looked at him but did not utter another word. He knew this old and cunning bastard must be planning something. Therefore, there must be a reason why he hasn’t mentioned it yet.

The ceremony continued as Maitreya continued to read names for the Conferred God List. Kong, and probably the others as well, felt relieved as the burden slowly diminished over time. The ceremony lasted a few hours, and vision covered the sky for the entire duration.

Then, as Maitreya uttered the last name, the first round of merit descended from Heaven and Earth. These cultivators smiled from ear to ear, and even the weaker ones who still felt the pressure did not mind at this moment. The interesting thing is Wang Wei — who held no divine position — also received a decent amount of merit. It appeared as if Heavenly Dao heard his complaint and rewarded him for it.
