Chapter 1175 The Coronation
1175 The Coronation
Divine Seal Continent:
Yan Hai looked in the distance with a smile, surrounded by a small bamboo forest. She has always loved bamboo and found their presence soothing. However, the peaceful atmosphere was soon broken by someone teleporting beside her, but Yan Hai's smile did not abate.
"What made you so happy?" Wu Hong asked.
"The kid added another Memorialized Luck to our sect."
"Oh? What did he do this time?"
"He became the first Three Realm Emperor of the lower dimension."
"That is impressive," Wu Hong calmly nodded.
"Are you proud that your husband is so capable?"
"It's ironic how much time and effort the Human Emperor spent l.u.s.ting after that position for someone else to get it," Wu Hong added.
"You're no fun," Yan Hai complained. "But you're indeed right. I wish I could see that suspicious b.a.s.t.a.r.d's face."
Wu Hong shook her head, and just as she was about to say something, a talisman flew in the distance.
"What is it?"
"Speaking of him, I just received news that both the Great Chu Divine Dynasty and the Qin Saint Court showed signs of activity."
"This is not a coincidence," Yan Hai said with a frown. "We have long suspected that brat Shu Ren was one of Ying Zheng's p.a.w.ns. Now, these two have started to move just as the kid became a Three Realm Emperor?"
"What are you going to do?" Wu Hong asked. "Although Ying Zheng is too suspicious by nature, he's also very patient and ruthless, willing to go to extreme lengths for his goal."
"I only need to be the umbrella that protects him from the rain until he's ready to compete at our level," Yan Hai explained casually. She raised her hand to write a short sentence on the air: [Touch one of our own and suffer the consequence.] The characters then turned into a sharp sword that flew in the distance.
"What will you do if he doesn't listen to your warning?"
"I'll destroy him and his dynasty. Isn't that obvious?"
Wu Hong sighed. "This is not the era where we, the 13 Overlords, ruled the world. A fight with him in the current situation will simply complicate things. You should change your mindset."
"Give me a little credit," Yan Hai replied. "Ying Zheng should have the same thought as you. However, he'll also think that without the other two present, I will be p.r.o.ne to act more recklessly - "And thus believe you might really start a war with him," Wu Hong finished.
"Yes, and the kid will be safe, and he can grow up safely."
"You say this, but I know you will start a war with him if given the chance."
Yan Hai shrugged: "If he's willing to make an enemy out of us after such a warning, there is nothing left but to fight."
Wu Hong shook her head before disappearing. Meanwhile, the Qin Saint Court received the Sword Empress' warning and immediately relayed the news to their emperor.
Lower Dimension, Endless Void:
w.a.n.g Wei returned to the world of the living with countless people already waiting for him. Before he could do or say a word, he received a divine sense of communication: "You should have learned everything from here?" Chen Tong asked.
"I did."
"So, things between us are alright?"
"Of course," w.a.n.g Wei replied. "I appreciate everything you did to help. I won't forget it."
"That's all I wanted to hear."
w.a.n.g Wei nodded. He was lying through his teeth. How could he easily let Chen Tong go? He was sure this b.a.s.t.a.r.d at least received one idea of transcendence from secretly watching him. Did he think he could get away with this with one Empyrean Item and a small favor to w.a.n.g Ju?
w.a.n.g Wei sneered internally. Once he has the strength, he will have this b.a.s.t.a.r.d pay for what he stole. On account of w.a.n.g Ju's favor, he will not ask for interest, but he still has to pay. w.a.n.g Wei motioned his mother and father to stand behind him before calmly raising his head. No one could guess the thoughts in his head: "Let's begin."
Heavenly Dao's Eyes manifested above the Heavens, followed by a vision that covered the entire lower dimension. A purple-gold throne appeared for w.a.n.g Wei to sit on, and his family stood on his left and right.
True Heavenly Dao then sent a piece of information to the minds of all sentient beings, which prompted a dimension-wide salutation.
All mortals and cultivators Tier 9 and below knelt and kowtowed, Dao Monarchs and below bowed ninety degrees, and everyone else only cupped their hands and bowed their heads slightly. Finally, all sentient beings chanted the same phrase: "Welcome the ruler of the sky, the master of Samsara, and the savior of the world - the master of the three realms." All those infinite voices were perfectly in harmony as every creature in the lower dimension chanted them simultaneously.
Yu Yan and w.a.n.g Tian looked at their sons proudly.
w.a.n.g Wei sensed an enormous quant.i.ty of incense rapidly gathering toward him. Countless people started wors.h.i.+ping him as a G.o.d after knowing that he saved the world from a catastrophe. However, before he could gather the incense, gold and purple merit descended from Heavenly Dao's eyes.
His body suddenly turned golden, like he was a glowing Buddha, followed by visions of sages reciting poems, scriptures, and Dao texts.
'Second Level Golden Body,' w.a.n.g Wei thought. 'And if I could quantify it, I would be at the peak, very close to condensing the Third Level.'
Once w.a.n.g Wei received his reward, it was time for everyone else. During this Golden G.o.d's catastrophe, many people contributed - especially people like the Overlord Seal Empress, w.a.n.g Ju, Dong Lifen, Yu Yan, and w.a.n.g Tian. These people either faced the Golden G.o.d directly or contributed to stopping that Eldritch monstrosity from escaping its imprisonment. Even Chen Tong received a good portion of the reward.
True Heavenly Dao appeared rather generous as it rewarded countless individuals before giving w.a.n.g Wei one last and disappearing.
"To celebrate today's achievement, I will grant a hundred years of free use of the Dream World to every world across all 3800 World Communities," w.a.n.g Wei declared. His words caused another small raucous to those who understood the significance behind these words.
The Dream World appeared to be free, as you only need spiritual power to condense Dream Coins. However, that is far from the truth. Most people cannot replenish their spiritual power faster than they can condense the dream coins needed to utilize their services. As such, they need to consume Soul/Spirit Replenish Pills, meaning that the Dream World can cost a great deal of resources to its users - especially if they are any kind of large faction or lineage.
w.a.n.g Wei's declaration was akin to saving them countless resources and providing the best training opportunity for these factions in the next hundred years. These people could not wait.
w.a.n.g Wei focused on the people that formed his group or alliance. "The war might have ended, but our work is not finished. The Golden G.o.d's former territories have not been utterly integrated into our system. Let's change that."
The Myriad Emperor World people and their allies immediately started their work. Although they had just received a ma.s.sive bonus from True Heavenly Dao, this work was also beneficial to them. After all, it was luck and merit from more than 1000 World Communities.
w.a.n.g Wei nodded in satisfaction with these people's att.i.tudes. There is no such thing as too much benefit. As he was about to focus on the World Tree, he suddenly frowned.
"Is something wrong?" Yu Yan asked.
"No, nothing." The strength he had acquired from his future self had left his body, leaving him feeling extremely weak and empty. He controlled his aura perfectly so no one detected any changes or anomalies.
"Now, what to do with you?"
He already knew he could not leave the tree for his sect in the lower dimension. True Heavenly Dao barely allowed a broken Empyrean Artifact, let alone a fully grown one. Additionally, this recent catastrophe has further proven why the power of Empyrean was not allowed to appear or exist in the lower dimension.
'The world is too fragile for the strength of Empyrean, so why not reinforce it?' w.a.n.g Wei thought. He pointed at the tree to make it condense a seed for a second and weaker tree. The Myriad Emperor World's court still needed a tree, so this one would be the replacement.
Under his control, the World Tree teleported to the Void Battlefield and planted its root in the very fabric of s.p.a.ce of that dimension, elevating its structural integrity to a higher level. Now, w.a.n.g Wei had finally created a Void Battlefield for the lower dimension, and it could easily contain a battle between Empyreans.
The World Tree then had more tree roots embedded in the Endless Void's spatial foundation, also elevating it to a higher level.
'With this current level, even I can no longer destroy the lower dimension,' w.a.n.g Wei observed. 'This is good news since True Heavenly Dao should not rush me to ascend once my cultivation approaches Tier 11.'
