Chapter 1159 Seventh Court Meeting

1159 Seventh Court Meeting

w.a.n.g Wei looked in the distance, his face as serious as he ever was. He glanced at a man with golden armor and deep, cunning eyes, but a dark and ominous power was hidden. The man sensed his gaze and looked back, smiling evilly.

"You never took me seriously. I bet you're regretting it now," the Golden G.o.d, no, the Heaven Devouring Emperor, said.

w.a.n.g Wei frowned as his first instinct was to rush over and eliminate this anomaly, but he stopped himself. Such an unexpected situation is the perfect time to calm down and think rationally.

"Why are you so smug when you're nothing but a discarded chess piece?" He did not hide the sneer and contempt in his voice. He expected Heaven's Devouring Emperor to be the final victor in this battle of consciousness, but he never expected the latter to use the power from the Abyss Gap.

'I've monitored him very closely, so he could not have actively contacted the Abyss Gap without me knowing. So, that can only mean they're the ones who contacted him, most likely when I was in the Dark Truth and my focus was somewhere else,' w.a.n.g Wei a.n.a.lyzed. 'a.s.suming there is an EMpyrean Tier powerhouse inside, it's understandable how they could hide from my prying eyes.'

w.a.n.g Wei figured out the situation, but that did not change how he did not like how something so unexpected occurred under his watch.

"Chess piece? Maybe so, but until the game is over, who is who is not finalized." The Heaven Devouring Emperor felt confident with all this strength - especially since now it belongs to him alone and not someone else's puppet.

"Talk to me again once you survive until the end." w.a.n.g Wei no longer hesitated as he attacked. A towering palm descended on the G.o.d Reverie World, and if it lands, the entire world will be wiped out - no, the entire world community will be reduced to nothingness.

The Heaven-Devouring Emperor laughed wildly before casually blocking this attack with a golden palm of his own. He not only blocked the palm but perfectly annihilated all the power and forces behind the attack to prevent any damage or destruction to his home world or the community.

'His strength has reached the limit of 10-fold but hasn't entered the Taboo Battle Strength,' w.a.n.g Wei a.n.a.lyzed. Such news should mean he's not as much of a threat, but things will not be so simple.

'He might have a way to temporarily achieve Empyrean strength, probably using the power from the Abyss.'

w.a.n.g Wei did not attack a second time and even removed his gaze. He sat on his throne, deep in thought. 'The good news is this catastrophe is officially a real one.' The team-up between the Heaven Devouring Emperor and the Abyss Gap has officially turned the lower dimension into a state of real emergency.

'However, things are a little fishy,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. 'If I were in the shoes of my enemies, what would I do?' He squinted his eyes as a word popped into his mind: distraction.

'So, that's how it is.' w.a.n.g Wei could not divine the truth, and he ended up empty-handed even if he looked into the future since all he saw were a bunch of timelines with false or incomplete information. However, he could deduce the truth based on the scattered information he gathered from different means or abilities.

With a thought, a powerful bell echoed throughout the Myriad Emperor World, and the people were shocked once they heard it.

'The Emergency Bell?' Xu s.h.i.+ thought before rus.h.i.+ng to the meeting. By now, except for the True Eternals, most powerhouses lived in the court to take advantage of the benefits. So, Xu s.h.i.+ was amongst the first to arrive but not essentially the first. It did not take long for the room to be full, so w.a.n.g Wei started the meeting.

"The Golden G.o.d has been corrupted by an unknown and powerful ent.i.ty."

His first words shocked everyone. Since the war was about to take place, these people have been preparing by gathering information on their opponent, including battling him in the Dream World. As such, they knew how powerful of an enemy the Golden G.o.d was. The general consensus was that he was second only to his majesty throughout the Endless Void.

But now, they learned someone or something corrupted them. Such an idea was scary to the bravest of these people.

"Who or what can do such a thing?" asked a minister.

"Isn't it obvious? There is only one true forbidden place in the Endless Void"

"The Abyss Gap." The room was immediately quiet.

"Your deduction is correct," w.a.n.g Wei acknowledged. "Due to this unforeseen change, things need to be accelerated."

"So, we're going to war now?"

"That's correct," w.a.n.g Wei nodded. "I need you guys to conquer the Central Region Alliance's territories as soon as possible to reach the Golden G.o.d's territory. Then, you must liberate the worlds under his control."

The Golden G.o.d had ama.s.sed a lot of incense, and w.a.n.g Wei feared that the Heavenly Devouring Emperor could use it to his advantage, for example, reducing the effect of the corruption in his soul or delaying its side effect while using its power. He must eliminate this possibility by freeing this world from the latter's clutch.

"I've created a technique to remove the Faith Parasites in these people's souls, but it's not up to my standard. I left notes and data in the Dream World, so you must improve upon it during this war."

"Could it be that the Golden G.o.d is now so powerful that even your majesty is worried?" The way w.a.n.g Wei spoke worried some people, so they had to ask.

"I won't be dealing with him," w.a.n.g Wei replied. "I have bigger problems, so you must deal with him yourselves or buy enough time until I return."

"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" Ao Shen asked. He tried fighting that b.a.s.t.a.r.d in the Dream World, which was disastrous. w.a.n.g Wei waved his hand to summon the Four Symbol Mirror. He first injected his terrifying Empyrean Tier power into the mirror before talking to the crowd: "This must be a fast and quick war. So, all of you can borrow strength from this mirror to increase your strength. We want to conquer as many worlds as possible as fast as possible. Be mindful to protect yourself as this artifact could corrupt your Dao."

Regardless of how weakened this artifact was, it still contained a Dao on par with at least 70% Grand Dao Source. If these people are not careful when using its power, it's normal for their Dao to be corrupted by the one in the mirror, thus cutting off their future cultivation.

"Feng Heng."

"This poor monk is here."

"You'll be the one fighting and stopping the Golden G.o.d," w.a.n.g Wei ordered. "Your Buddhist Power of purification should have some effect on the Abyss Gap's power after being boosted by the mirror. Your fighting tactic should be to prevent him from using the Abyss Power. If you do that, you will have no issue dealing with his current strength."

"This poor monk understands."

"Take this seriously," w.a.n.g Wei warned. "You'll have to watch for corruption from the mirror and the Golden G.o.d. The last thing we want is for him to turn you into the enemy."

Feng Heng clasped his hand to show his determination and how seriously he will take this battle.

"If you sense any form of corruption from him, stop the fight and exchange positions with Huo Fenghuang. Her Sacred Bloodline should give her higher immunity to this type of corruption or a.s.similation. If the mirror is the problem, you can choose anyone else to replace you, but don't forget to bless them with [Purification Power]."

"Amitabha."

Under w.a.n.g Wei's control, the mirror started to divide into countless illusory mirrors, granting every immortal in this room a copy. He then granted Feng Heng the main body before dismissing everybody, including his mother. He sent an emergency gathering to all his allies or rulers under his jurisdiction, telling them of the conclusion from today's meeting.

Afterward, he placed Dong Lifen in charge of the group tasked with upgrading the [Faith Insect Counter Technique]. He did not have the time to complete this thing and needed capable people to make up for it.

"w.a.n.g Ju," he called. A shadow rose from the ground before him.

m "Master."

"Your task will be the most important and possibly dangerous."

"Do you wish me to protect the entrance to the Abyss Gap?"

"Correct," w.a.n.g Wei nodded. "Use all your powers to ensure nothing goes in or leave until I return. If need be, don't hesitate to sacrifice yourself."

"I won't."

w.a.n.g Wei sat alone on his throne for a few seconds.

'In that confrontation, I secretly revived the Golden G.o.d's obsession with faith. The Heaven Devouring Emperor should not notice for a while, meaning his actions will be restricted as he is driven by that obsession.'

w.a.n.g Wei could deduce that the Heaven Devouring Emperor will not focus on himself for a while as his priority will be to preserve his "Divine Kingdom" with all his believers. In other words, he will focus on the war and preserving as much territory as possible.

w.a.n.g Wei stood up before teleporting to his destination - the Nether h.e.l.l.
