1097 Too Smooth
Primordial Chaos, Red Mist Forbidden Land:
Heavenly Book opened his eyes to look in the distance. 'The plan failed?' However, such news was not unexpected. He would be disappointed if someone who had reached the level of competing with Grand Dao had fallen for such a ruse.
He checked his book, and as expected, there were more words. His main objective was to affect the River of Time and increase the book's content, which he succeeded.
'He already deduced it was me? Interesting; he may be a bigger threat than I anticipated,' thought Heavenly Book. 'Does he have a connection with the Prehistoric World? Things are getting complicated.' He closed the book before entering a state of meditation. He had found clues about the origin of Buddhism, so it wouldn't be long before he could exchange with Madman Chu.
Eternal Ascension World, Battle Spirit World:
He Shiyi returned to his sect in terrible shape. He reassured his people that he was fine and needed to rest. Less than ten minutes after his return, the Commerce Hub president contacted him.
'So, they do have people everywhere,' thought He Shiyi, who answered the call. The array activated, showing a projection of a scholarly man with glasses: President Tian Wenyan.
"Is it done?" asked the president, scrutinizing He Shiyi's terrible state.
"Obviously," replied He Shiyi.
"Did you kill him?"
"Do you think that's possible? According to the plan, I exiled him to the upper dimension."
"So, he was this fierce?" muttered the president. "Although it would be ideal to kill him, that's good enough for now." In the lower dimension, they have no one to rely on and must live in fear of this man every single day. However, in the upper dimension, they can rely on their ancestors.
"We will send you something to heal. Consider it a gratitude," said the president.
"No problem," replied He Shiyi. A few minutes later, he sensed someone outside the Battle Spirit World. 'I thought they would use my weakness to attack me.' He received the reward: a small pool of Dao Holy Water.
'These guys are really rich,' thought He Shiyi. Dao Holy Water is a rare healing resource that helps Emperors deal with Dao Will, Will Manifestation, and True Will injuries. He sent it to Wang Wei without hesitation. Then, he activated the sect's formation, entering a state of isolation.
Meanwhile, President Tian Wenyan called a meeting of the highest order for all the Commerce Hub's core members ??? the true rulers. Normally, the core members are composed of ten thousand individuals, each representing top Emperor Lineages across multiple world communities. However, in this meeting, only 200 or so people showed up.
His projection appeared before a crowd of people sitting cross-legged on a mat while floating in the air.
"What happened?" asked a delegate.
"The plan succeeded," replied Tian Wenyan.
"He's dead? Is that why there was such a vibration across the Endless Void?"
"He's not dead but exiled to the upper dimension."
"That's a shame," commented a female representative.
"Given the strength we deduce he had, it's understandable."
"Focus," said the president. "Now that he's gone, it's our time to act."
"So, what's the plan? Do we attack the Dao Opening Sect?"
"No, let's not rush."
"Why? That monster is not here anymore, and I've had enough of those arrogant bastards."
"They still have more than nine Eternal Emperors, and you want to attack them while they have the home advantage? Don't let your emotions turn you stupid."
"You're right."
"Our plan is to divide their numbers," said Tian Wenyan. "We will attack the Martial Hegemony World and the Star Beast World, forcing them to stretch their forces."
"If someone is willing to help us pay the price to break our agreement, the Celestial Harmony World is more than happy to be a vanguard to the Martial Hegemony World," said a Taoist priest dressed in blue. However, his words silenced the room.
"I'm afraid the process is really not worth it," said President Tian Wenyan after a few seconds of awkward silence.
"I...understand," sighed the Taoist.
"How do we hide our deployment from the Dao Opening Sect and the Myriad Emperor World? Their information gathering is top tier."
"We don't need to hide it, do we?" replied Tian Wenyan.
"That's right. He's not here, so we can kill his people without any trouble. Let's immediately get rid of their manpower at the headquarters."
"If we act swiftly enough, we can plunder their shops and take their people to turn into our own. The Fate Shadow Guards are truly talented, and killing all of them would be a waste."
