"Any more questions?" asked Wang Wei.
"Your majesty, I do have a question."
"Go ahead."
"It's regarding the Qin Dynasty Treasury."
"According to our agreement, whoever is the final winner can possess the treasure. So, it's mine now," declared Wang Wei, making everyone speechless.
No one wanted the world to become turbulent because of the appearance of the Human Destiny Sword and the battle for the Treasury. So, they kept the sword in the hands of Sun Jiaolong, the Crown Prince of the Great Wu Dynasty, agreeing that younger generations could fight for it.
Then, whoever proved the Dao in this generation will have control over the treasury. However, some people's idea was to band together and pressure the final winner to share some of the wealth of that treasury.
But now, they had to restrain their greed.
"I have a question," asked Huo Fenghuang. "What are you?" She asked with blazing passion and greed in her eyes, which was out of character for her usual noble and proud personality.
"Well, what a rude question."
"I did not mean any offense...your majesty," she continued. "But many people wonder whether you're an Eternal Emperor or something else."
Everyone looked at him, some with anticipation, others just waiting to see if he would tell the truth.
"Hehehe, I don't need to hide it," said Wang Wei. He knew that even 11:44
if he revealed the truth, most of the people in this room might forget after his ascension.
That's because Grand Dao has not decided whether his
Immeasurable Emperor Class is a one-off thing that only he could pull off or would really become another class after Eternal Emperors.
If it chooses the latter, the information will slowly fade from these people's memory. If it chooses the former, his Immeasurable Class will become common knowledge that most people can calculate or deduce.
"I am an Immeasurable Emperor, a one-of-a-kind class above Eternal Emperor. I used my ingenuity, will, luck, and Dao Foundation to prove the Dao without any foreign aid while also making full use of the Heaven Will."
The representatives' eyes dilated as they understood how to achieve this class of 'Immeasurable Emperor". First, someone has to prove the Dao on their own. Then, they must become an Eternal Emperor using the Heaven Will, casting the Dao Will, and comprehending [Existence].
"Your majesty, if I may askâ"
"Do you want to know how I succeeded in proving the Dao alone?"
asked Wang Wei with a smile. "You won't succeed even if I tell you.
However, I know you won't believe my words alone."
Most of these representatives were embarrassed, but these old foxes with thick skin looked as if nothing had happened.
"This part of the process was easy. I use the cultivation technique from the Immortal Ascension World. Their creator had the same idea as me and created the system for that sole purpose. But he failed."
He paused for a moment to allow them to process this information.
Whatever this cultivation technique was, they could get their hands on it after traveling to that World Community. But why did the creator fail, but the Heavenly Emperor succeeded?
Many people's faces changed as if they had thought of something.
"So, some of you have figured it out?" said Wang Wei with a smile.
"The minimum requirement for this method to succeed is to be like me and Di Tian, breaking the barrier between Mortal and Great Emperor."
These people wanted to curse. After the reveal of these two's strengths, these powerful sects and factions gathered all their members to overview all the knowledge they possessed to see if they could find out how these two did it.
However, the conclusion was they were once-in-an-era geniuses that the world had never seen. So, how could they replicate their success?
No one was stupid enough to ask the Heavenly Emperor whether a replicable method existed to meet that requirement. However, a few eyes secretly looked at the Di Clan.
"Don't look at them for answers," said Wang Wei. "He only succeeded due to a rare fortunate encounter from the upper dimension."
He paused for a moment before gritting his teeth:
"That lucky bastard."
The intelligent representative immediately analyzed two methods from this sentence and interactions. The Heavenly Emperor used some means that did not rely on luck to break the barrier between Mortal and Great Emperor. This method may be replicable.n).Ov-eL-usb-c-o/m
Secondly, he does not hold any grudge or animosity toward the Di Clan; otherwise, he would not have said these words to protect them.
"My method also relied on luck; it was simply not as easy as his."
Wang Wei knew if it were not for Hongjun protecting his Science and Technology World, it would not be so easy for him to become a Mortal Emperor. Maybe he would have found another way, but the process would have become a thousand times more difficult.
People wondered whether he was lying. However, they soon realized the Heavenly Emperor did not need to lie to them; he could just not answer and not care about their questions.
However, some people guessed the reason for his honestyâto remove the greed of certain people toward the Di Clan and the Dao Opening Sect. Anyone with some brain could see how powerful that sect would become in this era, so keeping a secret method of cultivating mortals with Emperor strength should not be a problem.
But the Heavenly Emperor still went out of his way to disperse the greed and desires of most of these factionsâjust to protect his sect and ensure its longevity.
"Any more questions?" asked Wang Wei, but no one answered this time.
"Alright. The next court meeting is 300 years from now. Please fill up the spots for your list by then."
'There is more?' was the first thought in many people's minds.
However, they realized how stupid this thought was. The Heavenly Court has just been established, so the Emperor must be planning many things for this great era.
So, these meetings might be more often than they anticipated.
Their second thought was that 300 years was too short for such an important task. Finally, they wondered what the next meeting would be about.
Wang Wei looked at Wu Ming. He waved his hand to grant him a talisman.
"With this, you can fulfill our agreement."
Wu Ming made a lot of effort to hide his emotions. He bowed with the most respect before standing up with a calm and indifferent expression, ignoring the curious eyes of everybody around.
Then, Wang Wei focused on Feng Heng:
"You can proceed. I guarantee your safety until then."
Feng Heng felt relieved. He did not prove the Dao because his method required some time, and he knew he could not succeed before Wang Wei. As such, he feared the latter would interfere in the process, ruining his chances.
So, he decided to come to this meeting to test Wang Wei's reaction or views toward him. Based on his findings, he would choose whether to prove the Dao in this world or run away before returning.
"Thank you for your aid," bowed Feng Heng.
"I'm just repaying my karma," nodded Wang Wei.
Many people who were secretly eying Feng Heng and Buddhism were regretful. Of all the chosen gods of today's meeting, they were the weakest to attack, even worse than Ao Shen's situation.
But now, they knew the Emperor guaranteed Feng Heng's
protection, so they could only sigh and maybe try to do things in the shadows.
Of course, a few people were not surprised by this outcome. They have long known the Heavenly Emperor had the [Future Buddha Scroll], so they analyzed many things after Buddhism received the Western Continent.
Wang Wei's gaze moved to the representatives from the Great Talisman City:
"Tell your City Lord to come see me."
These people's faces changed. They thought the Heavenly Emperor wanted to liquidate their City Lord for what she did during the final battle. They expected this outcome and planned many
countermeasures but did not know whether they would work.
"As you wish."
The representative remembered Tong Ruobing's warning before this meeting. If she is summoned, do not resist and accept everything calmly. So, he resisted the urge to bring that person's name as a way out of their city.
Wang Wei's eyes turned to Xu Shi:
"Do you want to talk?"
"Yes, if you don't mind."
"Very well. You can stay after this meeting."
Such a simple conversation raised the alert of many people. They wondered what this is about. Will there be an alliance between the two most powerful factions of the world?
Xu Shi is a beautiful widow, and the Heavenly Emperor's wife mysteriously disappeared years ago. So, is this a marriage alliance?
Or something else?
None of these people present wanted such a thing to appear. The Dao Opening Sect and the Heavenly Emperor were already so powerfulâmilitaristically and politically. They would become a behemoth with this alliance.
Meanwhile, the Enlightened Emperor Academy is the only faction with an Eternal Emperor. Although the demon race and the Ancient Clan had two 6-Star Primarchs, these people disdained any path other than the Emperor Path, so they always placed the level of three of the Academy as the highest.
Finally, Wang Wei's gaze focused on the Supreme, Holy, and Law Lands that hid in the back, trying to appear as invisible as possible in this meeting. These people's worst fear is to be noticed by all these Immortal big shots.
"I know many of you feel left out of this meeting, but this is far from the truth," declared Wang Wei. "All of you also have a future in the Heavenly Court."
These weak factions swiftly bowed their heads to salute, praising Wang Wei for majesty and generosity. However, he could tell they did not believe his words; they probably thought he said these words to appease them, but all his words were nothing but empty promises.
Wang Wei secretly shook his head.
"I can tell you don't believe me, so I will release some early information so you can prepare."
Everyone listened up with bated breath.
"The Heavenly Court will expand to the entire World Community.
So, I will confer many Gods, some of whom will be responsible for an entire world. The God Position for many Middle and Small Thousand Worlds will belong to you guys."
The reaction to this news was mixed. The weak factions were happy as they knew the Heavenly Emperor meant his words. Other factions were also happy since they now knew they could fight for the God Positions for Great Thousand Worlds.
After all, a Quasi Emperor alone cannot control most Great Thousand Worlds, requiring at least Dao Ancestors.
However, some of these schemers from Emperor Lineages were not happy with this news. They were prepared to establish their own Heavenly Court in the Lower Realm.
"The meeting is officially adjourned," declared Wang Wei. "I will see you again in 300 years."
