1083 Punishment & Next Steps

Wang Wei waited until all the representatives from the Myriad Emperor World arrived, and he teleported the remaining survivors from the Martial Hegemony World. Even Qian Heng was brought out to participate in this meeting, kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.

"It's all your fault," roared a representative from the Peaceful Life Palace. Due to their formation, they survived until the end of the war. Unfortunately, Reverend Tranquility was killed, so they sent Taoist Serenity for this meeting. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"If not for your betrayal, we might have a chance."

Taoist Serenity remained calm, not saying a single word. No one could tell his thoughts or emotions, but his silence agitated many people.

"Quiet," said Tie Gang. "Remember whose presence you're in." Everything immediately quieted down, so Wang Wei started the meeting.

"Believe it or not, I was prepared to be lenient on you guys. However, you made a blunder that will make my work harder - you killed too many mortals and almost wiped out the demon race. Your actions have directly affected my benefit, so you will be punished."

The martial artists' faces turned ugly after hearing this, especially Golden Fist since this was his plan. They turned their head to look at him; however, before anyone said or reacted, Qian Heng spoke: "There is no need for a blame game. We can still accept defeat gracefully and hold our heads high."

The people looked at him with mixed emotions: some sympathized, some blamed him, some cursed, and many still respected his spirit and will.

"For your first punishment, you will reimburse all the resources we used in this war twofold, including the loss of lives," said Wang Wei before pointing at someone from the Foreign Affairs Department. "He has a list of all your contributed resources; you can confirm with him."

Many people finally understood why resources were not counted as military exploits. However, they were more satisfied with this outcome.

"Second punishment: for the next 50 generations, all the Divine Positions in the Lower Realm will be under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Emperor World's court. You will still control the court in your homeworld, but the Lower Realm will not be in our control."

This was terrible news for the Martial Hegemony World. The Lower Realm was vast and could bring too many benefits. But for the next fifty generations, they could only watch as another world used its resources to nourish themselves.

"Isn't 50 generations a ???"

"This is non-negotiable," said Wang Wei calmly.

"How can you guarantee your successors will keep their word," asked Qian Heng.

"I have no problem having a written contract with severe punishment," said Wang Wei calmly. "I'll even be generous and add a clause that we cannot attack you for the next five generations after returning control of the Lower Realm."

"I would prefer that," said Qian Heng.

"Alright," nodded Wang Wei. "Now, for the final punishment, all Immortal Powerhouses must be executed, except for the Turtle King."

"What?"

"Please, no!"

"We have already lost so many powerhouses. We cannot resist any more losses."

"And humans and demons cannot co-exist together."

"Especially with their hatred for what...what we did."

"This is, again, not negotiable," said Wang Wei. "You guys will be a warning to any world that resists. They must be prepared to be weakened to the lowest level if they choose to resist us."

"If you leave us without any Immortals, it will be easier for foreign worlds - like the Celestial Harmony World - to return and conquer us," argued Qian Heng.

"We have invested interest in this world, meaning we will protect you from anyone trying to disturb our wealth," said Wang Wei. The martial artists wanted to curse, yell, and even revolt but did not dare. Some of these people were alive during the Taoist occupation of the world, and it was humiliating. They did not expect to live long enough to experience such a thing twice.

"Now, let's talk about what's going to happen to this world," continued Wang Wei. "If you had accepted our offers, we would have shared the merit for Mortal Civilization and Demon School with you, but now, that's off the table. The only exception is the Sea Race, who offered us their allegiance."
