Back in the Great Xia Dynasty, Wang Wei was frowning while looking at a bunch of papers. In the past few days, he was not in the best mood, and it was all because of paperwork.

After winning his battle with Ji Song, the vast territory of the Great Zhou now belongs to him, however, it will still take some time before he settled all the people there, let alone made them have a sense of belonging with Great Xia.

As a result, many rebellions occurred throughout his territory, so he had to dispatch the army to use force to eliminate these rebels.

If it was in the past, Wang Wei might consider using less brutal means to deal with the situation, but now the end of the trial was rapidly approaching, he did not have time to play nice.

Although Wang Wei was the final winner of the trial, he knew that his competitors would use the shortest amount of time to recuperate from their defeat, then strive to break through the Supernatural Realm as soon as possible.

And if he wasted any more time in this world, he would be left behind. So, he decided that all his plans must be accomplished in 5 years or less, then he will leave this world.

Of course dealing with the affairs of the dynasty was not the only reason that Wang Wei was in a bad mood. But because Yan Liling, his supposed Chancellor refused to help him.

According to her, she was mad at the fact that he did not share his secret Longxue Tea recipe with her. After hearing this, Wang Wei immediately blamed Li Jun for not being able to keep his mouth shut.

I mean, doesn't he know to place his brother before his companion? I mean they basically grew up together wearing the same diapers. Couldn't he keep his mouth shut?

Wang Wei sighed while gritting his teeth. As a last resort, he had to ask Dong Lifen for help, an act which made him very embarrassed.

After all, he had just basically rejected the poor girl, but now he was asking her to work for him. Wang We felt like a capitalist that exploited the people working for him. However, after seeing her working hard and not complaining, he removed the guilt he felt; he convinced himself that she enjoyed the work.

One day while working in the Dragon Throne Room, someone came in and told him that a special guess came to see him.

It turns out the person was actually Feng Heng, the leader of the Great Shu Dynasty.

Wang Wei could not think of the reason that this guy showed up to meet him. However, he did not care. No one can stop from conquering this world. As such, the Great Shu Dynasty is actually on its last breath, and it is only a matter of time before he conquers it.

A few minutes leader, Feng Heng entered the Dragon Throne Room, then cupped his hand together to salute Wang Wei.

However, one of the ministers of the court roared, "Bold! You dare not to properly salute his majesty!"

However, Wang Wei waved the person off as he knew that Feng Heng just used the etiquette to indicate that he was treating him as the Sacred Son of the Dao Opening Sect, not the ruler of Great Xia.

As a matter of fact, he did not really care about etiquette. As long as the person shows the necessary level of respect, everything is fine.

As such, Wang Wei just observed this Heaven Chosen from the Taiyi Profound Gate from up to down.

He noticed how this Feng Heng had a very peaceful and natural temperament, which symbolized that he has a high understanding of Taoism.

Speaking of Taoism, Wang Wei knew a little bit as he had read the Tao Te Ching by Lao-tzu and Zhuangzi in his previous life. Although he only did so to impress his boss, he still remembers them with his unforgettable memory.

Furthermore, the Origin Path System that all the cultivators in the Myriad Emperor World cultivate borough many ideas and philosophy from Taoism.

After taking a brief moment to call this thing, he said, "So, Dao Child Feng Heng, what brought you to my little dynasty?"

"I'm here to make a deal with you?"

"Oh? Please say."

"I will hand the entire Great Shu Dynasty to you without fighting, in return, you have to give the position of National Master and make Taoism the national religion of Great Xia."

Wang Wei looked directly into Feng Heng's eyes for a few seconds, before saying with a sneer, "You must be joking. I have done all of this work, just to let you benefit for cheap? You value yourself too much."

Wang Wei could guess this guy's plan. Let all the other Heaven Chosen battle between themselves, then allies himself with the final winner.

With the status of National Master and the spread of religion, he can absorb as much Qi Luck as the final victor of the trial.

'No Wonder this guy never actually made any move during the whole trial,' thought Wang Wei secretly.

He always wondered what Feng Heng's endgame was. During the whole trial, he had many opportunities to conquer more territories.

As the first person to truly conquer a dynasty, he could have easily invaded the Great Wu back then and conquered them. Or, he could have attacked the Great Zhou when they were fighting with the Great Wu.

However, he did not do any of these. He remained neutral, just protecting his own territory. Now, it seemed that he was playing the long game.

Meanwhile, Feng Heng was not that surprised that he was rejected, so he continued, "What if I add the Western Region?"

"What do you mean?" asked Wang Wei with a frown.

"During all my years in the trail, I have successfully spread Taoism throughout all the dynasties in the Western Region, and they are essentially under my control."

"I can see that you are the kind of person who likes to have the best when doing things, so you should strive to have a 7-Color Rainbow Qi Luck. However, to achieve that, you will need to conquer the entire world--even the Western Region."

Wang Wei nodded in acknowledgement, then replied, "You are right, but I do not see where you matter in that situation. Even without you, I can still conquer the Western Region."

"You are right, however things are not as simple as you think. To the desert people of the West, Taoism is not just a religion, but a form of salvation for their poor living environment, a kind of sustenance for their soul. So, anyone who threatens their belief, they will never accept it."

"What does that have to do with you?" asked Wang Wei, however, he had an inkling what Feng Heng was about to say.

"As the Taoist Ancestor of this world, I have a lot of power," replied Feng Heng.

"As long as I tell these people that the Great Xia is a threat to Taoism, millions of people will not hesitate to take arms and fight to the death against you."

"I mean, you can imagine the burst of power these people will bring out when believing that they are fighting for their religion, their beliefs, their ways of life."

Feng Heng paused for a few seconds before continuing:

"As a matter of fact, I know that despite all of this, your Great Xia will probably still win in the end. However, at what price?"

"With the majority of people of the Western Region dead in a war, what is the point of you conquering that barren land? How long will it take to end such a War of Faith? However, with my proposition, all of this can be avoided."

"You can easily conquer the entire world, and I will just benefit a little."

Wang Wei had a pensive look on his face while tapping his finger on the armrest of his Dragon Throne.

He realized what a brilliant move Feng Heng's plan was. Plus, he did not want to waste more unnecessary time on this trial. However

"I can agree with your proposition, but I have a few conditions."

Feng Heng hurriedly said, "Please say."

"First, you can only absorb enough Qi Luck to reach the 2-Color Rainbow Level."

"Impossible!" replied Feng Heng.

He did all of this work in order to achieve the highest result possible, how could he accept the bare minimum instead.

As a matter of fact, if it was up to him, Feng Heng did not want to use this method. Unfortunately, the barrier between the peak purple-gold Qi Luck and the 2-color Rainbow is too vast for him to accomplish with the territory that he has control of.

According to his master, a person has to conquer an entire Small Thousand World in order to break that barrier between those two levels. And if you want to reach higher levels like 3-color, 4-color and son, you need more than just vast territory.

You need to properly govern the people, make them happy and better. And even that can only guarantee a 6-color Rainbow Qi Luck. If you want to reach the last color, you have to fundamentally change the world.

So, Feng Heng was very happy when Wang Wei was the final winner because according to the information he received, the people of Great Xia have very happy and fulfilling lives.

But now

"Either accept my condition, or we can go to war," said Wang Wei with a cold and ruthless tone. Meanwhile, Feng Heng had an ugly look on his face, while thinking about his options.
