Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1345  Terrible Solutions

"The situation is way worse than stated," Mongke commented. "The merit system has been locked despite Buddhism's efforts."

Wang Wei raised his eyes and looked at the sky. He could detect the slight fluctuations that indicate a struggle. Heavenly Dao wants to reward them for spreading the Mortal Civilization, but something is stopping it.

'Well, fighting is better than no response at all,' Wang Wei thought. Heavenly Dao was silent when the lock first appeared, which scared him and indicated it had lost most of its authority. However, it is now constantly fighting, which is a sign of strength.

"What happened to my cultivation technique?" Wang Wei asked. He previously spread the Health Preservation Technique, baffling him as to why the situation turned so sour in such a short period.

"It has been corrupted," Dulgun said. She was in charge of this matter, so she knew the most.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it started with the spreading process. As you can imagine, these parasites intervened to block it," Dulgun explained. "We sent one of the Paragon puppets to try to scare them, but they replied with their own puppets.

"Of course, all of these were not the main reason your attempt became ineffective."

"What did that bastard do again?" Wang Wei asked, not hiding his sneer.

"The rules of Heaven and Earth were changed," Dulgun explained. "All Longevity Techniques have become more difficult to cultivate. People can only breakthrough when they are in the twilight of their years, and each breakthrough can increase their lifespan by 10,000 years."

Wang Wei's face was ugly to look at. Now, if an ordinary person used his technique, they would have to wait until they are 9000 years old before they can make a breakthrough and extend their lifespan. Since this technique allows people to live one yuan epoch —- 1.269 trillion years —- the technique was essentially divided into billions of layers—no wonder no one wants to cultivate it.

Wang Wei clenched his fists. He was feeling frustrated. The current situation feels like he's playing chess with someone, but while he has to play by the rules, the opponent not only does not, but he can also invent the rules to turn things in his favor.

Wang Wei exhaled to calm down. Being overly emotional will not help in the current situation. On the contrary, it will probably increase his chances of making a great mistake.

"You guys still haven't told me what your ideas to solve the situation is," Wang Wei said. After knowing the overall situation, he has some plans in mind. However, he wanted to see if they had something better or, at the very least, could inspire him.

"In the current situation, we may have to consider killing all the world's cultivators and saving the mortals," Mongke said. Wang Wei did not comment and just listened.

"That is too extreme," Jia Ping disagreed.

"Is it?" Mongke asked. "Most of the cultivators participating in the slaughter are loose cultivators or weak lineages who do not have access to longevity pills. I think it's a good exchange to eliminate these wastes to save the mortals."

The Barbarian King's words might sound harsh, but everybody understood his logic. The mortals are the future of the cultivation world; they are the primary sources of talent, so protecting them is protecting the future of the cultivation world.

"Our opponent's wish is for us to weaken the world, so why would we help him?" Jia Ping argued.

"That is true, but we are living in extreme times, so sacrifices are necessary," Mongke continued. "My thought is we ignore everything else to focus on dealing with the parasites. We must seal or kill them as quickly as possible. Then, without their interference, we'll have plenty of time to control the cultivators and eliminate all of them."

"Your plan is too far-fetched. We're dealing with Paragons. Even if they are at the bottom of the barrel regarding talents, they are still Paragons," Jia Ping argued. "The next yuan epoch will be crucial. Do you expect us to deal with all of them in such a short window?"

"It's indeed tricky, but with the right kind of brilliant plan, I think we can get all of them in the same place and into a trap."

Wang Wei did not comment, but he wanted to roll his eyes. He could tell that Mongke had become a little prideful after entering the Battle Taboo Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't suggest something so extreme or stupid. No matter how bad these parasites are, how can they be dealt with easily or quickly? How can it be easy to get all of them in the same place?

Wang Wei had once thought of this. One of the plans he considered in dealing with them was to lure them into a trap dimension, and the bait would be knowledge and information about Half Step Transcendence. However, he soon realized that besides the Earth Emperor and the one from the Taoist Sect, none of these people were ambitious enough to take the bait. They only care about maintaining the status quo with them at the top. What is sad is that they don't want to do so by ensuring that they are as powerful as possible but by keeping everybody else weak. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What is your solution?" Wang Wei finally asked.

"Sealing," Jia Ping responded. "We open more sealing resources to them and even develop cheaper and more accessible sealing methods. Most of these cultivators are acting out of desperation. If we can give them an opportunity to sleep and wait until this 'era' ends, they'll gladly accept it."

"That's a good idea," Mongke commented. "But there is still one problem — these parasites. They will not allow us to spread these means worldwide. As long as they keep interfering, all our actions are in vain."

Jia Ping did not rebut since he knew the latter was correct. However, he still believed this less radical approach was the best.

"What about you?" Wang Wei asked. "Do you have a different opinion?"

"I do," Dulgun nodded. "I think our focus should be outlasting these cultivators. We only need to protect as many mortals as possible, and in a yuan epoch, most of them will die."

Wang Wei did not say anything and looked at everybody else. However, no one had other solutions, so he was left with thoughts. These people's solutions are good, but they are only superficial. Wang Wei wanted to save the mortals and cultivators and completely ruin Supreme Unity's plan, meaning none of their approaches were feasible.

He closed his eyes to activate his Soul Network Ability. He saw all the members of the Fate Changing Hall, but that was the extent of his network. He could no longer access other souls. 'That bastard truly blocked all my paths.'

Wang Wei opened his eyes while frowning. 'Right now, my main move should be to give the mortals the power to protect themselves, and that means spreading the Mortal Civilizations. However, the issue is how to spread it throughout this vast land as soon as possible?'

Once the mortals can protect themselves, the cultivators will be restrained. In the worst-case scenario, a civil war will happen, which may not be a bad thing since war is one way to facilitate the development of civilizations. With the improvement of the Mortal Civilization through war, the reward Wang Wei will receive after this event will be even higher.

Of course, that is, if the mortals can last long enough. Under normal circumstances, that would be impossible. But now, with the support of other cultivators, they have a chance.

"Alright, I know what to do," Wang Wei said. He looked at Mongke: "Prepare for an all-out battle."

"I understand," Mongke nodded in excitement. Wang Wei dismissed everybody except for Red Mask.

"What's Pure Flame's situation?"

"We haven't been able to infiltrate his cultivation dojo, but from the information we've gathered and analyzed about him, the conclusion is that he kept that black power and is studying it."

"Oh?"

"The analysis is that he plans to take advantage of the current situation to spread this thing and purify it to gain merit," Red Mask continued. "His talent can only take him as far as the Empyrean Realm, and merit is his only way forward."

A killing intent flashed in Wang Wei's eyes. "How sure are you?"

"80%."

Wang Wei squinted: "If what you say is true, he probably won't act anytime soon since the merit system is still in limbo. He might be waiting for me, or someone else, to fix it to a certain level before he starts to act."

Red Mask nodded. That's the same conclusion the Fate Guard made. "Sir, do you want me to eliminate him?" Although they have only suspected Sage Pure Flame and did not have concrete evidence, they were not officials. Suspicions were enough to eliminate someone as long as they were a threat.

"You're really bold," Wang Wei said, looking at him. This woman dares talk about killing a Sage. There is a saying in the world: "Only a Sage can kill a Sage." The backlash is not something that anyone can bear, and even Sages cannot kill each other without proper reasons.

"As long as you ordered it," Red Mask said calmly.

"No need. He's still extremely valuable," Wang Wei said.
