Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-307

The face of the Fire God became ugly as he watched all those gods looking at him as he could guess what they were about to say.

"Absolutely not," he said with a firm voice.

"Fire God, this is not the time," said the Death God. "The best course of action is to send a lot of people in your territory to search for these Outsiders; the sooner we find them the better."

"I don't care," responded the Fire God.

"Think about the greater picture," said one of the Supreme Gods.

"Yes. This is not the time to be selfish."

"Selfish?" said the Fire God with a sneer on his face. "How many of you will truly be looking for the Outsiders instead of using this opportunity to spread your faith in my territory?"

The room immediately became quiet for a few seconds before one of them pointed to the Fire God and said: "Our world is at stake and all you can think about is yourself."

In response, the Fire God glanced at him for a moment, then said: "The Wisdom God just said that these people are from a more advanced world than us that has mastered the power of space.

"So, it is very possible that they have already left the Fire Realm and could be anywhere in the 36 Realms. How about all of you open the borders to your territories and let other Gods send in their subordinates and search for the Outsiders.

"That way, we can cover more ground and increase the chances of finding them."

The room once again became silent as no one said anything--even the Death God. After seeing this, the Fire God sneered; these people were happy to enter his territory to search, but it's their turn, they all became quiet.

As the Destiny Goddess watched all of this happen, she mentally sighed. She understood one of the reasons that this world will fall. Unfortunately, there was little she could do about it.

For the next few hours, the Supreme Gods argued about their next course of action. In the end, under the persuasion of the Destiny Goddess and the Life Goddess, the Fire God decided to allow each of the Supreme Gods to send three Gods into his territory.

However, these Gods can only be True Gods and below, and if they show the slightest intonation to start spreading faith or forcefully capturing people, he would kill them immediately.

The other Gods agreed to his proposition. According to their previous agreement, in each realm ruled by a Supreme God, there was a fixed amount of faith that the other Supreme Gods could gather.

If someone broke that limit, he would be dealt with by the others.

Once a decision was reached, all the Supreme Gods returned to their realm.

Destiny Realm, Wisdom Heavenly Abode, the Wisdom God returned to his temple. As soon as he was alone, he smiled brightly, instantly removing the solemn and calm look on his face.

Although he could not influence the decisions of his superiors, he still received a lot of benefits. The Destiny Goddess promised to increase the population under him so that he could gather enough incense to reach the peak of the Divine Incense Realm.

He then quickly calmed himself down. During the meeting, since he was under a lot of pressure, he felt that he might have missed some information. So, he quickly reviewed everything again. However, he did get any new relevant information.

"Did I really miss something?" muttered the Wisdom God. Then, he smiled and said: "Although I'm not good at fighting when it comes to using my mind, no one is on par with me. So, I doubt I will miss something."

After that, he no longer paid attention to this matter as he waited for his reward. He could tell that great changes were about to take place in this world because of the outsiders; to be precise, great chaos was about to take place.

If he plays his cards right, he might receive a lot of benefits.

In another Heavenly Abode, the Destiny Goddess opened her eyes; she looked dazed for a moment before sighing deeply. One of the reasons that she wanted to hold the conference was mainly to propose to the other Gods to allow the birth of other Supreme Gods to increase the strength of this world.

With more Supreme Gods, their chances of surviving this calamity would drastically increase. Unfortunately, the others could not even agree on a basic set of actions for searching the whereabouts of the Outsiders, let alone making such a major decision.

The Destiny Goddess knew that all of them would immediately reject her proposition if she brought it up.

After reigning in her thoughts, she stood up from her throne and left her temple. Unlike most Gods who had golden temples decorated with lavish embellishments, her temple was plain white with little to nothing beside one statue of her.

And just like the statue, she was dressed in a plain white robe, an ethereal and mysterious mist seemed to cover her face. After leaving her abode, she directly teleported to another one.

And this one was also unique: it was a library attended by an old man that looked like he was about to die; age spots could be seen all over his face along with countless wrinkles. Despite this, his eyes were not murky, instead, they were quite bright.

"Your highness, to what do I owe this pleasure," said the old man.

As the Destiny Goddess looked at the old man, she was momentarily dazed. "Record God, how old are you now?"

"Your highness, I'm 18, 324, 657 years old."

"18 million? You're rapidly approaching the Title God limit of 20 million."

"It's alright. After all, death is an inevitable thing for all living beings. And even the Supreme Gods will one day return to the embrace of Mother God."

"That's true," muttered the Destiny Goddess softly. She could not remember how many God of Record she has seen and buried in her lifetime. And one day, one of them might bury her.

She sighed out loud to remove these distracting thoughts from her mind. "I need you to show me all the knowledge you have recorded about Heaven Will Worlds."

The Record God nodded his head as he led her to the information she wanted.

…

Void God Liu returned to his Heavenly Abode after being rescued by the Fire God. Once inside his temple, another person approached. Based on that person's aura, he was a True God.

"Your majesty, what reward did the Fire God give you?" said the True God. "Did he give you permission to become a Title God?"

After hearing the question, Void God Liu's eyes became blood red. He instantly appeared in front of the True God, gripped his head, and pinched it. Golden blood, bones, and brain fluid drenched his body and decorated the halls of the temple.

After, he ignored the filth around him as he sat on his temple.

'I was so close to becoming a Title God, but now everything is ruined. Outsider, you better not let me catch you.'

He then closed his eyes to absorb reputation and cultivate. However, what Void God Liu did not notice was a strange black energy that came from his blood and was rapidly spreading through his body.

After using the Void Breaking Talisman, the Shadow was teleported to a secret base that he made that was surrounded by formation to prevent spying.

Once there, the Shadow did not immediately return to meet his commander. Instead, he spent a few days cultivating the part of the [Transcending Fate Sutra] that involved anti-divination; he had to make sure that these Supreme Gods could not track his whereabouts anymore.

After that, he took out a vat of golden blood. He immediately began to chant a weird formula. As a result, black energy came from his body and entered the blood.

A few minutes later, he stopped and nodded in satisfaction.

"With this Blood Possession Curse, it should be a lot easier for me to gather information."

The Shadow then sneered as he placed the blood away. He expected some sort of resistance when placing the curse. However, nothing happened. As such, he was quite disdainful of how lax or carefree the mentality of these Gods is.

It's like they have no sense of crisis.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that everything made sense. These Gods have been at the top of the food chain for so long since nothing could threaten them.

So, they have lost their natural cautiousness, their fear of the unknown, and their awe of Heaven and Earth. In some way, they are quite pitiful. Although the crystal wall has protected them from harm for who knows how long, it has also restricted the development of their civilization.

Of course, the Shadow did not pity these Gods. To him, the weaker they are the better. After all, he came to this world to conquer it. The weaker the God Civilization is, the easier the task will be to accomplish.
