Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-1171

1171 I Dub Thee

Wang Wei shook his head, slightly disappointed he could not see the final result. The good news is he has a way to deal with these Outer Gods, given how "excited" the River of Fate seemed to be due to his decision. Something told him this would not be the last time he would have to deal with these things, and now, he at least had a way to confront their weirdness.

He teleported away to the Abyss Gap and immediately saw everything was finished. His eyes and connection with Wang Ju allowed him to know what had just happened without anyone saying a word, including Chen Tong's intervention.

"It seems you did a better job than I anticipated." Wang Wei said with a smile, which quickly faded. He saw how much of a terrible shape Wang Ju was; she should have dissipated long ago, but someone had helped her last long enough for his return.

"Don't worry, I'll fix you back to normal shortly. Before that, let's continue preserving your body and soul so that they don't collapse."

"No need, young master."

"What's the meaning of this?"

Wang Ju was quiet.

"You want to take a page from the Sleeper's book?"

"Wasn't this the plan all along?"

"Yes, but you were supposed to leave after others had established a foundation," Wang Wei rebutted.

"I know you wish to protect me, but such a mission requires someone of my skill to have a chance of success," Wang Ju stated. "Now is the perfect opportunity to get things into motion."

It was now Wang Wei's turn to be quiet. "Very well." A golden crown condensed above his head, signaling his status as the Heavenly Emperor. A second black crown appeared, showing his status as the Earth Emperor. Wang Wei then looked at the sky: "Can you give me my position in advance?"

A light descended from the Heavens to condense into a white crown, representing his status as the Human Emperor for saving the world. Although many people performed excellently in this catastrophe - especially Wang Ju - it did not change the fact that she and the others mostly used Wang Wei's powers, items, or creations.

The three crowns fused together into a golden robe attire with black and white dragons and other auspicious symbols and a crown that perfectly fit Wang Wei's body.

"In my name as the Sage Emperor, I will grant you the title and blessing of the [Shadow Heavenly Emperor]. May your reincarnation be peaceful and full of blessing."

A golden light rushed out of Wang Ju's soul, healing a lot of the previously damaged areas. However, the more important thing was her rapid increase in talent. A translucent dragon slightly smaller than the World Tree in the distance descended from the void and entered her body, signaling her newfound Qi Luck and great destiny. Lastly, purple merit descended from the Heavens. In this catastrophe, Wang Ju was the second greatest contributor and deserves all the merits.

"Thank you, your majesty," Wang Ju bowed.

"I have many words to say to you, but I think it's best to leave them for our reunion," Wang Wei sighed. Wang Ju had been with his maid before he even started cultivating. Now, they were about to part ways for who knows how many Yuan Epochs.

"Young master, please take care of yourself," Wang Ju said, unsuccessfully trying to prevent the tears from dripping from her eyes. Wang Wei also felt teary, but he controlled himself. He waved his hand to preserve her Inner World for her successor.

"Come, I will escort you to your reincarnation," Wang Wei declared as he opened a portal and led Wang Ju inside. The two floated above a yellow river with countless souls traversing through a bridge. A few souls even fell into the river, but Wang Wei ignored this.

"I request a meeting with a Yama King," Wang Wei said in a soft yet powerful voice.

"What do you want?" asked an obviously annoyed voice. Normally, they would not care about this brat - even if he was the Earth Emperor. However, his new position as the [Sage Emperor] did give him the right to request a direct meeting with a Yama King.

Wang Wei did not care about the fact this person was showing "disrespect" by not showing up. That's what happens when he's the [Sage Emperor] without the power. Had he acquired that position in the upper dimension, all the Yama Kings in charge of the Eternal Ascension World's Samsara would have shown up before him.

"I want to take on her sins," Wang Wei stated.

"They have been offset by her merit," said the voice.

"Is that so?" Wang Wei had an inkling since no one did anything to Wang Ju, but he wanted to make sure.

"Is that all?" The voice asked.

"I want to use my authority to request that she is reincarnated in another Chaos World."

"You have that authority, but you're only a [Minor Sage Emperor], so you must pay for your request."

"How much?"

"20% of the merit gained after establishing the Samsara Court."

"20% of the merit right after the court is established or 20% of all the merit I acquire during my reign?"

"The latter."

"What if I want a few more people to reincarnate with her?

"Depending on the number, that would be an additional 5 to 10%."

'It's not a bad deal,' Wang Wei thought. With his current strength, he will have to rely heavily on pure luck if he wishes for any of his Fate Shadow Guard members to reincarnate in other Chaos Worlds successfully.

"Fine, I'll pay for it." Wang Wei knew this was an excellent deal and accepted it.

"As you wish." The presence of the voice disappeared. Wang Wei focused on Wang Ju: "Let me see your weapon." She handed her two black daggers, and Wang Wei fused a small gray orb into the weapon before storing the weapon in her soul.

"Reincarnating with a weapon to protect you should make the process slightly easier, especially since I've stored some of my strength in it."

"Young master."

"No need for sadness, as this is only a temporary parting," Wang Wei said before showing a brilliant smile. "I cannot wait to see what you turn into in your new life."

"I won't disappoint you." Without the limitations of talents and the blessing of luck and destiny, Wang Ju was confident she would succeed in her mission to establish the Fate Shadow Guard in other Chaos Worlds and, eventually, throughout the Chaos Universe.

"Any last words or regrets?" Wang Wei asked.

"No last words, but I do have one regret."

"Oh, which is?"

"That I won't have the Wang Clan Bloodline in my next life."

"How is that a regret? Our clan's bloodline goes deeper than the body and touches on the soul. You can condense our Void Human Fiendgod Bloodline in your next life from the traces in your soul."

"Is that so? In that case, I'm satisfied."

"Good. Then, for the last step." Wang Wei summoned his Samsara Dao to release a black light into Wang Ju's soul. Then, he condensed a seed containing his power of fate and gave it to her.

"I've protected your memory, so you should awaken them very early on," he explained. "Lastly, I've given you this Fate Seed so that the Fate Shadow Guards can have access to their Fate-abilities without being labeled as Outlaws. However, be mindful since the rules of the Chaos World might be different, and it might not work."

"I understand."

"Oh, and don't use the name Fate Shadow Guard. That name has too much karmic connection to me, and it might allow some people to deduce your relationship to me."

"I will."

Wang Wei held her face and kissed her on the forehead: "See you again."

"See you again, young master."

Wang Ju flew to the bridge and proceeded along just like all the other souls. Wang Wei watched her for a while before sending a message outside, and a few minutes later, ten thousand shadow guards appeared before him, all kneeling in the air.

"Although it's a little bit early, it's time for your next mission. You should have been prepared?"

"Yes, master." They said in unison.

"Then, get to it."

The guards did not hesitate to abandon their bodies, Immortal Qi, and even Inner Worlds to turn into souls - that's how loyal they were or were trained to be. Wang Wei blessed them, too, before watching them walk over the bridge. He took one last glance before leaving.

A gaze was secretly watching him from the shadows. Then, it said: "Reincarnate them into the Warring Void World."

"Are you sure?" asked the Sand Yama King, the one who spoke with Wang Wei previously.

"Just do it."

Sand did not understand his supervisor's motive. The Warring Void World was one of the most chaotic places in the universe because of a phenomenon called [Chaos Void Convergence], where portals opened to countless other Chaos Worlds. This event was not rare but frequent, often resulting in that world being invaded or invading other worlds.

The competition is fierce, which usually results in that world being one of the most powerful in Primordial Chaos or being the weakest as it suffers from countless invasions.
