Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1044 Different World Situation (III)

\'Should I put them under the Academy\'s care?\' she contemplated. Although these pillars served no purpose for her, they were still rare resources for Void Shattering Realm and Saint Cultivators.

\'Forget it. Since they left alone, I should do the same,\' she thought as she looked in the distance. One thing she immediately noticed after descending to this plane was the existence of a branch of the Dao Opening Sect. She was not surprised as their sect had discovered countless branches in other worlds during their effort to prepare for this upcoming expansion. So, they knew the Dao Opening Sect had already spread their tentacles to the Lower Realm and drastically increased their Qi Luck in the process.

Now, the Academy had to play catch up. Luckily, the Heavenly Emperor allowed them access to this community\'s map and did not intervene in their expansion.

Fu Rong focused on her task at hand, monitoring the progress of these people regarding the headmaster\'s task.

Northern Su Dynasty:

Cai Renshu sat on his throne, deep in thought. His plan was suddenly disrupted. If these people did not show up, he was confident in overthrowing the Great Xue Dynasty, convincing the Moon Saintess to form a marriage alliance with him before forcing the Alchemy Valley to become his subordinate.

Sadly, fate played a cruel joke on him by drastically changing the situation. Now, he had to contemplate his future and how to proceed.

\'Before all of this, the other two leaned slightly on my side because of the deep foundation of Great Xue and how they\'ve been ruling this world. They did not show open support to me because they wanted to weaken my strength and ensure I would not become the next Great Xue.\'

Cai Renshu frowned, \'Now, the situation is reversed. My ambitions and ability have become torn in their eyes.\' The appearance of the court meant an opportunity for greater strength and power, and the Medicine Saint and Moon Saintess did not want someone as talented as him to use this opportunity to rise above them.

\'In other words, their support will shift to Great Xue. If I don\'t navigate things clearly, they will band together and eliminate me.\'

Many thoughts flashed in his mind as he pondered the best move to make to achieve his goal of world domination.

\'Become a core member of whatever factions the Empress is from,\' he concluded. \'With their support, it\'s a simple matter to rule this world, not to mention the protection and resources of such a faction. I might even have a chance to....\'

An otherworldly beauty appeared in his mind, and the feeling to possess her at all costs resurfaced. Then, a shiver ran down his spine as he remembered that gaze; he smiled wryly as he realized he could not blasphemy her even when she was absent.

\'I don\'t think I would lose to the top geniuses in the Heaven Will World. So, wouldn\'t it be easy to get their notice? The only problem is my identity and background.\'

Sects only accepted young children to train their loyalty. It might be a problem because of his age.

\'Let\'s see what happens. However, there is no need to hurry. I can also see if I can find the origin of that Dao Opening Sect.\' Before all this, only one thing used to worry him: the appearance of that strange sect.

Cai Renshu summoned his officials to discuss how to proceed with the task he was given. His train of thought is doing a great job on this task, which might be his way of joining these people.

Grand Ocean World:

After descending into this world, Feng Heng followed the same step as Xu Shi, summoning all the top leaders. However, the power dynamic of this Great Thousand World was more complicated than that of the Four Pillars World.

This world was divided into countless [islands] whose sizes are incomprehensible and should not be labeled as such. However, because there is no single piece of connected or continuous land (continent), everything is labeled as an island.

An Island Lord rules each island, and this title is not just one that dictates the locale. The natives of this world created a slightly unique path of the Origin System through the use of the island. An Island Lord can connect their soul, law, and primarily, their Domain to their controlled territory, draw power from it, and boost their strength. On their island, the Lord has absolute power because of the boost.

Because of this ability, all territories in this plane are extremely valuable and sought after. The bigger the territory, the stronger the boost and, thus, the more valuable the island.

After arriving, Feng Heng manifested a towering golden Buddha visible to the entire world before summoning the [Supreme Ten], the ten most powerful Island Lords with the largest territories.

"Respect to the Venerable Buddha." (10X)

Feng Heng, who sat on a cushion instead of a throne, calmly looked at these individuals. "This poor monk came to land under the order of the Heavenly Emperor to take control, improve the world, bless the life of mortals, and spread my teaching. This is how things will proceed from now on."

He instilled in their minds Information about the Conferred God List, Divine Positions, and the 20% of their share; he also directly announced to them their duty of elevating the civilizations of mortals. The response of these individuals was less than lukewarm. They looked at each other but did not say a single word.

Feng Heng understood why. This world values territory and sovereignty immensely, and his existence was like suddenly announcing he was the Island Lord King of this world, and they were unwilling to accept such a thing. After all, throughout history, only one man successfully controlled all the islands in the world, and some of these people have been fighting for generations without any success or progress. But now, Feng Heng appeared out of nowhere and took control.

"If you have any questions, you can ask; this poor monk will answer you."

"Hm, Lord Buddha...about our territories?" Lady Hu asked. Her family had controlled Stormwind Island for over a thousand generations, and she had worked extremely hard to become this generation\'s Island Lord; she did not want to abandon all her power.

"As long as you accomplish your duties, this poor monk won\'t interfere with your power," Feng Heng replied calmly. He could hear the collective sigh of relief after these words. "Do we have to convert to Buddhism?"

"Of course not. Faith is a personal experience, and this poor monk would never force anyone to believe."

These island lords once again felt reassured; such a mighty being had no need to lie to them.

"There are other benefits to becoming a member of the court. I have established a point system that will allow you to exchange powerful cultivation techniques or rare resources. With these techniques, you can enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

These lords finally displayed excitement. What they want the most is strength and territory. However, a few wise individuals gave the Lord Buddha a strange gaze. They understood these techniques were definitely Buddhist Scriptures, meaning even if they didn\'t join Buddhism, they would have a karmic connection to it.

"Do you have any more questions?" No one had anything to say. Feng Heng pointed to another monk next to him: "This is Monk Fahan; he will be the Main God of this world and your overseer. If you have any trouble, you can address it to him."

Fahan bowed slightly to these people to show respect while also releasing a silver of his aura. Everyone saluted back.

"The benefit this poor monk offered is the bare minimum," added Feng Heng. "As long as any of you laymen do a good enough job, you can even receive permission to travel to the Myriad Emperor World and access the path of longevity."

After dismissing these people, Feng Heng left Fahan to deal with the weaker Island Lords while his focus was on the sea. He discovered the Sea Race of this place acted similarly to the one back home and decided to tap into this population. The Heavenly Emperor\'s actions have shown the benefit, and Feng Heng would not leave this untapped potential untouched. Although he expected some resistance, it was futile before his might despite only sending a projection.

Purple Sky World:

Ao Shen exhaled deeply, releasing his frustration. As expected, this world resisted his rule after knowing they were from the demon race and had to suppress them. Luckily, he was smart enough to strike a quick deal with Xu Shi to borrow some people from her; the purpose of these teachers was to convince the natives of this world that humans ruled the Heavenly Court, and the demon race was granted permission for their actions.

Things calmed down after the Academy\'s teachers\' effort but soon became chaotic when he did not hide his desire to give many of the native positions to the demon race or when he announced he was building Demon Schools. He once again had to suppress these people while controlling his urge not to kill them all.

Finally, after using both threat and diplomatic means, he achieved what he set out to come to this place. However, a small part of him was resentful that he had to go through all this trouble just because of his race. Ao Shen exhaled before proceeding to the next world; he would be busy for a while with the expansion of the demon school.
