Chapter 978 First Queen
Wang Wei opened his eyes again, focusing on the battle between his clone and the Immortal Sovereign. He looked at his smiling face and followed soon.
\'It should be about time. Luckily, it won\'t bring her much trouble,\' thought Wang Wei, hating the fact he had to rely on others for protection. However, he did not deal with the issue for too long as he sent his divine sense to the Conferred God List in the Heavenly Court and changed something.
A new name appeared in one of the positions. This should have fundamentally changed the state of the world, but no one knew, and no visible changes could be detected.
So, he closed his eyes and listened to the sermon without wasting any time.
Eternal Ascension World, Origin Seal Continent:
Wu Hong opened her eyes from her cultivation room, feeling her destiny had changed.
"Queen Mother? A destiny related to the Heavenly Emperor Karmic Position?" She took a moment to deduce the changes that occurred to her.
"So, that\'s what he did in the lower dimension?" The Sword Empress did not mention much detail, probably not knowing much herself. However, she knew his actions greatly impacted the upper dimension\'s Dao Opening Sect.
Wu Hong raised her hand as merit descended from the sky into her hands. She immediately frowned as she sensed a terrifying gaze full of malice. Luckily, another power came and blocked this gaze; otherwise, she felt she would have died.
\'Is the difference so vast?\' thought Wu Hong, sighing deeply. In times like this, she regretted not taking these lesser methods. However, she will not dwell too long on this kind of useless emotion.
\'With this merit, I can accelerate my healing time,\' she thought, looking in the distance. \'I guess I will owe him some karma.\'
She closed her eyes and continued her retreat. Time was not waiting for anyone, and the world was rapidly changing. Her current situation was not ideal for the upcoming catastrophe; she wanted to return to her peak as soon as possible⌜even if such an attempt was very risky in the current political landscape.
Star Beast World, Void Battlefield:
Wang Wei\'s clone looked at the weakened Jiang Behe and exhaled. This battle was enjoyable, but all good things must come to an end. He raised his hand and slapped down.
"No, you can\'t kill me. I am..."
The Dragon Zodiac Attack instantly annihilated his soul and colossal body. Normally, Wang Wei would have used this man as a resource. After all, although it\'s arduous to remove the brand in an Immortal Sovereign\'s Immortal Qi, it\'s still possible after much effort. However, considering this man has some personal connection with his business partner, Mu Lei, he decided to give him a clean death.
Wang Wei raised his hand to look at this Void Battlefield.
With a swipe of his divine sense, he reverse-engineered how it was created.
\'As expected, this one is different from the Battle Spirit World,\' he analyzed. The one he saw in that world was empty and a dimension with extremely reinforced space walls. However, the one in the Star Beast World contained some of the ability to regenerate matter and would create a universe once it was given enough time to rest and recuperate.
\'This change seemed to result from aesthetic choices and the difference in laws between each world. Regardless, it\'s worth learning for my battlefield.\'
After analyzing this, he had a schematic of refining his Void Battlefield. So, he sent a message to Sword One in the Commercial Hub to look for certain rare materials that would aid in the process.
Finally, he took a step and appeared in the Star Lord Mountain, where Mu Lei and Tong Ruobing waited for him. The three quickly got into the atmosphere, mostly because Mu Lei was extremely open-minded and did not mind the vast difference in strength between him and Wang Wei. Well, at least he did not show it.
"So, are you going to tell me the story between you two?" asked Wang Wei, who was served wine instead of tea.
"Why do you sound like a girl who wants some juicy gossip?" said Mu Lei.
"Hey, it\'s not only girls who enjoy gossip," replied Wang Wei with a sneer. "Don\'t change the subject."
Mu Lei sighed as he gulped his wine, "The story is very cliche. I met a close friend, and we became sword brothers. However, as you know, he was also my competitor in this battle. So, we made an oath to ensure we can compete fairly in the final battle.
"Unfortunately, this was the beginning of the recent events."
Mu Lei began to drink again; a slightly desolate look appeared in his eyes. Luckily, the quiet Tong Ruobing held his hand underneath the table, so he smiled at her.
"In this generation, our sect was very hostile toward the Jiang Clan, almost causing an all-out war. My sword brother did not want this, so he convinced our two factions to make another oath not to kill each other\'s family members.
"With this oath, I thought the Jiang Clan was the perfect ally after I secretly created the court. Who knew, their ancestor betrayed me, leading to the previous battle.
"As for the oath? He found a loophole since \'he\' was not the one killing me."
With this short conversation, Wang Wei understood many things. Mu Lei could not be like him and immediately show the existence of the court after creating it. Instead, he probably followed Tong Ruobing\'s advice and secretly found allies through sharing benefits and maybe intimidation. Then, once the majority of factions with Immortal Sovereigns become their allies, they officially establish the Heavenly Court.
Sadly, the Jiang Clan\'s betrayal alerted these factions in advance, and out of greed, they banded together to suppress Mu Lei and the Star Lord Mountain to take control of most of the court\'s power.
"So, what happened to your sword brother?"
"He was ashamed after what his family did and did not dare to see him. So, he sealed himself."
Wang Wei looked at him but did not say anything despite guessing this was a lie. The cultivator world can be extreme regarding certain things. People are fickle; fathers and mothers can sell their children for the right benefit. However, some people are extremely loyal, earnestly taking their oaths and friendships.
So, Mu Lei\'s sword brother probably took his family\'s betrayal as his own, and he tried to kill himself to redeem himself before his brother. Finally, Mu Lei saved him and sealed him to prevent him from doing such a thing. The latter\'s thinking is probably that time was the best way for his sword brother to process this event and accept the result.
"So, are you guys prepared to establish the court officially?" asked Wang Wei.
"Yes. I\'ve already convinced Heavenly Dao to allow me to take the position, and my sect has refined the court. I only need an official ceremony; the position will be mine."
Wang Wei nodded, not surprised by this outcome. Mu Lei was not himself, so he could not forcefully seal Heavenly Dao to get the position. Otherwise, there would be catastrophic results as Heavenly Dao tried everything to revolt.
So, when he allowed them to use his idea, he also suggested conversing with Heavenly Dao and convinced it of the benefit.
"In that case, let\'s discuss my share of the pie."
Now that he appeared and helped Mu Lei reverse his situation, according to their agreement, he will have an even greater piece of the share. Additionally, they also must pay for the [Merit Proving Method] for Tong Ruobing to prove the Dao.
After a few hours of discussion, everyone came up with a satisfactory remuneration. After the process, Wang Wei was smiling brilliantly while Tong Ruobing looked at him as if she wanted to stab him. Only Mu Lei had a nonchalant attitude.
According to him, the future benefits will outweigh the current loss, so why make a fuss?
"By the way," added Wang Wei. "According to my predictions, your status as Queen Mother will not be enough to prove the Dao immediately. Do you want a loan with an interest of 5% to expedite the process?"
"No, thank you," said Tong Ruobing instantly. According to her calculations, she will be the second Queen Mother of the world, making this an achievement to be remembered, thus increasing the merit she will receive.
And if her predictions are correct and Wang Wei\'s wife has ascended, then she will be the first Queen in the lower dimension. As such, it won\'t take her very long to receive the merit from her position to prove the Dao.
Getting a loan was not worth it when she only needed to wait such a short period. Plus, she has other ways to accelerate the process.
"That\'s a shame," said Wang Wei; he wanted to make even more profit. Tong Ruobing rolled her eyes after seeing his expression; she had never seen a man who was so focused on making a profit, not willing to make a loss in anything.
\'Alright, let\'s get started," said Mu Lei, showing his perfect white teeth.
