Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 681

Wang Wei watched Mo Yuan disappear and could only sigh. He cupped his hand before bowing deeply; he showed respect for a senior who walked the same path. Maybe in the future, his fate will be the same. No, the only difference is he won't be alone if it ever ends for him. At least, he hoped it would be so.

He looked in the direction of the Wrath Territory before continuing his original objective: contact Heavenly Dao and have a conversation. Soon, Wang Wei found himself standing in an all-white space with an enormous eye above him.

[My son, what can I do for you?]

'Son? Well, technically, all creatures of the Myriad Emperor World are Heavenly Dao's children.' thought Wang Wei. Of course, he would not call her mother or father. Their relationship only recently became decent, and depending on how today goes, it might sour again.

"I came to convince you to refuse the merger with the Nine Devil God World," said Wang Wei.

[Why would I do that? The merger will drastically increase my World Source and benefit the world.]

"But what about the downside?" countered Wang Wei. "The devil race is hated by every plane in the lower dimension. Once they know we accept them as one of our own, many will react negatively."

[I know the danger, and they are worth it.]

Wang Wei squinted his eyes as many things flashed in his mind. He knew Heavenly Dao was not stupid, nor did it rely on emotion to make decisions. Everything it did was based on pure logic and with an objective in mind.

"You want to use the pressure of the other planes to forcibly accelerate the rate of the Myriad Emperor Plane's recovery?"

[Yes. The new era will need some time before it can revitalize the world. However, foreign pressure is a great way to accelerate the process.]

Wang Wei controlled every fiber in his body to not call this thing stupid; he never thought that his Willpower would work so hard for self-control one day.

"There is a time for everything. The Myriad Emperor World needs a period of peace to lay the foundation. Then it can interact with other planes. It does not require to be constantly overcoming enemies.

"And this is exactly what will happen if we accept the devil race. Other factions will use this excuse to justify war against us. Under the banner of avenging the atrocities of the devil race, any faction with some influence can rally hundreds of planes–if not more–against us."

[I have faith in you.]

"You shouldn't," replied Wang Wei. "As the ruler responsible for the development of the Myriad Emperor World, you should never place all your eggs in one basket.

"What if Di Tian is the one who is the final winner? Do you think he would care if a bunch of planes invaded? As long as he revives his wife, he will sell the world if necessary.

"What about the others? On the likely chance they are the last man standing, would they have the strength to stop an invasion on such a large scale? The answer is obvious.

"Finally, there is me. Do you think I would just accept becoming the enemy of the entire Endless Void? I am a person who learns from his history: the devil race suffered a catastrophe of annihilation because they were enemies with the whole world. Why would I repeat their mistake?

"Furthermore, you overestimate how much I care for the Myriad Emperor World. I want it to prosper beyond any era that ever existed because it will bring me merit, luck, destiny, and protection. If I had to face an invasion from so many planes, I would just ensure the survival of my sect. That is the ugly truth."

Heavenly Dao did not immediately answer as it calculated the effect of its decision, taking every word of Wang Wei into account. It calculated Wang Wei would set up the foundation of a brilliant era. Unfortunately, it did not know the exact plan.

However, no matter the era, it will take a couple of generations to show any real effect. So, Heavenly Dao wanted to accelerate the process. Taking into account Wang Wei and Di Tian's strength after proving the Dao, they should be able to stop any invasion and use war to accelerate the recovery and growth of the plane. It even prepared to negotiate with Di Tian using his wife's imprint.
