Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-1122

1122 Operation Sleeper 2.0

Wang Wei scanned the battlefield. He took measures to ensure people would not notice his presence, but the death of the Black Heart Emperor would be noticed before long. He groaned before muttering a few words: "You have the blessing of fates."

His simple words generated a power that instantly covered the entire lower dimension. Then, all the survivors from his faction suddenly felt an overwhelming confidence; it was like they knew they would be the final winner no matter the circumstances. That confidence soon transformed into a strength that ensured their victory.

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction before looking at Xu Shi, "Do you want to continue or return home?"

"I can still fight."

"Then, go support the Star Beast Battlefield."

Wang Wei disappeared, returning to the Commerce Hub's headquarters. He summoned a screen before him: "It's time for you to act."

"As you wish, my lord," said Wang Ju.

Central Commerce World:

The Commerce Hub knew the importance of having the strength to maintain its grip over the lower dimension. So, they have long invaded another world and turned it into their training ground. The upper echelons of the Hub control ninety-nine percent of Emperor Lineages in this world. They used these factions for one purpose - to brainwash talented individuals to train powerful thugs for their rules.

The Fist Saint Emperor had a frown on his face. Since his return home, he's felt something was wrong, and no matter what he tried, he could not stop this feeling.

'Am I just being paranoid? I should be completely safe in this place, right?' thought Saint Fist. He knew how well-protected this place was, and even if Wang Wei showed up, he could not conquer this place easily due to the sheer amount of powerful arrays protecting this world. If Commerce's headquarters were their most powerful attacking weapon, this world would be their most defensive.

The Hub placed a lot of resources in this training ground to ensure that this world would create powerful Emperors for them. Because of the Balance Mechanism and other factors, they have not cultivated many Eternals - until this generation - but the number of pseudo Eternals they've cultivated was astronomical. In this world's history, there have been many periods where Eternals appeared for hundreds of consecutive generations. All these people would leave a protective array worldwide to protect it, but even then, that is not the full extent of the security.

To combat the Balance Mechanism, the Commerce Hub would order their trained Heaven Chosen to travel to other Heaven Will Worlds and gain citizenship before returning home to protect their home. They would sponsor talents from other worlds, promising they would help after proving the Dao.

So, there is no doubt that the Central Commerce World is the most powerful Heaven Will World in the lower dimension.

'I need to calm down. This place is safe,' thought the Fist Saint Emperor, exhaling deeply to release the tension and pressure. However, less than ten seconds later, he received an emergency talisman that flew from the void. His face turned ugly after absorbing the information inside: Black Heart had mysteriously disappeared.

He stood up from his cultivation mat, preparing to rush to the meeting. Saint Fist sensed something, and his eyes penetrated his room to see the sky above the world. He saw a bright golden shield that greatly reassured him. Most of the panic he felt abated, and he calmly teleported to the meeting room. Everyone saluted him as soon as he appeared.

Although Saint Fist was trained as their pawn, it did not change the fact that he was an Eternal Emperor and deserved respect. Additionally, after Black Heart's disappearance, he was the most powerful powerhouse they had who they knew was a hundred percent loyal.

The Fist Saint Emperor nodded to all the elders as he sat in one of the elevated positions. He looked around and knew most of the people since they were the true rulers of the Commerce Hub.

"Where is Tian Wenyan?" asked one of the leaders.

"He returned home as soon as the previous meeting ended."

"Home? Shouldn't he stay in the headquarters to ensure there were no problems?" As the president, he needed to activate the continent's power in case of an emergency.

"He claimed there was an emergency back home, but based on the recent situation, it's obvious that he sensed an anomaly even before us."

"I knew we should not have re-elected that bastard. Although he has a brilliant strategic mind, I always knew he was a coward."

"No, things are not adding up. Why didn't he retreat here to this place? Does he think there are places even more secure than here? Or does he know something that we don't?"

"He knew this place would be the first to be attacked in case something went wrong."

Everyone looked at the person who said these words since it was a woman's voice they did not recognize. Their faces changed when they saw a hooded individual standing in the room; they wondered how long she'd been there and how none of the Eternal Class powerhouses detected her.

Saint Fist and a few others wanted to react, but they discovered shadow tentacles attached to their shadows, rendering them immobile. They mobilized all their strength to resist, but it was useless.

"Your destiny has run out," Wang Ju declared. "It's a shame that my master's Heavenly Emperor Era had to rise from your ashes." She shook her head in disappointment; none of these needed to happen if these people were wise enough to understand the situation and surrender.

"How did you bypass our defenses?" asked Saint Fist with clenched teeth.

"Bypass? Why must I do that when I've always been here."

"You've been planning all of this?"

"Yes, and for a very long time," nodded Wang Ju. The Central Commerce World is a well-protected secret. In fact, few world communities know of its existence, and the ones who have heard of it think it's only a myth. However, after hearing of this myth, Wang Wei tasked them to find this place, and it became a primary mission for the Fate Shadow Guards.

"What are you going to do with us?" Saint Fist asked, trying to buy some time to see if he could kill himself and use his immortality to escape the current predicament. However, Wang Ju no longer entertained him; she motioned with her hand, and countless guards appeared in the room.

They each chose one of the commerce's rulers and pointed it in their forehead to manifest their Fate Lines. Then, the Fate Guards released a weird-looking gray insect that attached itself to the Fate Line before fusing with it. This resulted in them turning in their chosen individuals and inheriting everything from them - including their fate.

"You!" said Saint Fist as he realized what these people were doing. However, no one paid attention to them. The Fate Shadow Guards only chose a few people, and the rest were executed. Wang Ju did not hesitate to kill all the Immortal Sovereigns while preserving the bodies for her master. She then sealed Saint Fist before killing the remaining Pseudo Eternals.

"Who knows how to control this world's protection formation?" she asked, and a few guards raised their hands. "Take complete control of it and prepare to move it back home." After giving the order, Wang Ju continued to overview this operation.

This operation did not occur only in the Central Commerce World. Across all 1000 World Communities that the Commerce Hub controlled, countless sects were now being infiltrated and replaced by Fate Shadow Guard members. This plan was nothing new as it was just a larger-scale operation of the one against Di Tian's Sleepers. However, Wang Wei knew he would need a lot of manpower for it to succeed, so he used the Commerce Hub and his Soul Network Ability to expand and gather more members.

Wang Ju continued her oversight of this operation. She would receive information from across the lower dimension through the Soul Network. She would respond based on the situation; in some cases, she had to travel to some worlds to ensure nothing went wrong.

Wang Wei smiled as he watched things proceed smoothly. It would be easy for him to destroy all the Commerce Hub's forces and rulers, but what then? How can he control such a large-scale enterprise as swiftly as possible without any problem? He could not. So, he opted for a simple method - take control of them from the inside. That way, he can preserve most of their foundations and he can reduce resistance to his takeover.

However, such a plan had its problem - the massive military power of the hub. Wang Wei knew how much he would have suffered had he opted for a direct confrontation where he was the aggressor and the enemy was on the defensive. The current battle was already tragic, but it would have been worse - unless he used his overwhelming power but did not want to do that.

So, he chose another method. He started this war to lure them to disperse most of their forces and leave their backs unprotected so that he could infiltrate and do as he pleases.

'One objective is completed, and now for the second,' thought Wang Wei.
