1192 Final Preparations Before Retreating (I)
Once everyone processed what had just happened, Wang Wei decided to continue with his banquet. "Many of you are about to ascend, and if you had paid attention, you would know the current situation of the upper world is not peaceful." Most people nodded since they knew of this, but a few people were confused as they had never heard of such a thing.
Despite the different reactions, these cultivators wondered why the Emperor brought up this topic. However, a few people immediately guessed what he was about to do, and they were speechless.
"I'm a kind soul, so I've decided to sell some information about the current state of the upper dimension to help you acclimate." He snapped his finger to manifest a screen with writings.
[Basic Information: This information is only the most basic of the current situation of the upper dimension. Although basic, such information is still well-kept under wrap and will require a steep price to acquire. Prices=???] [Advance Edition: Deeper knowledge of the situation, including the interpersonal information of the factions involved; there are also some suggestions on the best way to act after ascending to ensure safety and survival. Price=????] [Ultimate Edition: This edition contains some world history to help you understand the conflict better. Don't underestimate this small change since the parties involved have destroyed and rewritten history. More importantly, this edition contains countless deductions and analyses on all parties involved. Warning: These deductions are not 100% accurate since Paragon Level Entities are involved, and my information source is also limited. Price=???] Everyone looked at this screen, baffled beyond words.
"Don't look at me like this," Wang Wei shrugged. "You saw how expensive this banquet was. I need to recuperate the cost somehow."
Yu Yan was mortified beyond words. She asked her husband through divine sense: "We raised him correctly, right? He never lacked anything, right? So, why?"
"We can't blame ourselves since that's probably something he picked up in his previous life," Wang Tian reassured her. "Plus, we should see it as good business acumen and learn from him."
"How on Earth could we learn from him?"
"How about I sell signed swords," Wang Tian replied after thinking for a few seconds.
"Who would buy that?"
"Many people - especially if I had a bit of my Sword Will and understanding into the signature."
Yu Yan looked at him. "I never knew you had this side of you."
"What can I say? Wei'er has rubbed off me quite well." They laughed before focusing on the present.
"One more thing," Wang Wei added. "For those people who think that they don't need this information since their lineage in the upper dimension will just clue them in. Well, you're in for a great shock. Most of these factions were forced to close their borders and sealed themselves. You'll be lucky if you can contact them - let alone them responding."
"What? Your majesty, you're not lying, are you?"
"We don't mean to question, but this is hard to believe."
"I understand how you feel," Wang Wei calmly said. "However, the current situation is not something that only recently developed. No, the situation has been this way for years. However, things recently exploded since a new era is about to open in the upper dimension."
These people squinted. The change of an era is usually accompanied by blood, violence, chaos, and war. A perfect example is the current Heavenly Emperor Era. The entire lower dimension was enveloped in war, and countless people died. Now, once the same thing happens in the upper dimension, these people cannot imagine the scale and terror - especially after having the sermon from Lord Chen Tong. Without a choice, they looked at the screen before them.
"Your majesty, why is the price thrice as high if we don't use merit to pay?" someone asked. Merit became more common in this era, so a market with clear values was created for the exchange, and the Dream World served as a platform and guarantee for the price and the process.
"What do you think?" Wang Wei replied back. This guy acted as if he did not know good business practices. Everyone was speechless. The grandeur and generosity of the banquet made these people forget that their Supreme Emperor was a shameless business at his core.
People sighed before buying the information. Most bought the basic tier since most immortals were not ascending; they only wanted to be informed of the situation since it might also affect their lineage. A few wise ones gritted their teeth to buy the advanced edition. Only people like Xu Shi and Ao Shen knew the importance of Wang Wei's deduction and bought the ultimate edition.
Then, a torrent of killing intent flashed in the room before disappearing. These people had just learned that a group of seven people was blocking their cultivation path. According to his news, they would be lucky to become Empyrean, but the Path of Paragon was cut off to them.
