Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

A few days after the execution of the royal family, someone came to visit him in the Dragon Throne Room: It was Zheng Yi from the Noble Alliance.

The past few days have been quite stressful for him due to the fact the Wise Sage never mentioned their agreements. Even if he did not immediately attack the nobles, they were still under great pressure.

After seeing Wang Wei on the Dragon Chair, he bowed more than 90 degrees and said, "Long live your Majesty. May your cultivation rise and be able to live for eternity."

Wang Wei looked at him with calm eyes, then he waved his hand and said, "You may rise."

Then, Zeng Yi lifted his body to make eye contact with Wang Wei and addressed the reason for his visit.

"Your majesty, I wonder whether our agreement is still valid?"

"Of course, as long as you people choose the group of nobles that need to be made an example with, everything is still the same."

Zheng Yi sighed a relief after hearing this, then he further asked, "Then, when can we sign the Soul Contract?"

"There is no need for that," answered Wang Wei with a smile on his face. "Since you guys believed me to be a man of my words, then continue to strengthen this belief."

Zheng Yi frowned after hearing this, but he did not say anything else about this topic. He bowed again and said, "Then, I shall bring your words to the Noble Alliance."

After the brief conversation, Zheng Yi was dismissed and returned to inform the noble alliance of the result. Meanwhile, Wang Wei sneered at these nobles. If it was not the fact that he still needed them to temporarily stabilize his future dynasty, he would have killed them long ago.

Unfortunately for him, this kingdom is very similar to Middle Earth's ancient time from his past life when it comes to societal structure.

Most knowledge is kept in the hands of these nobles and they go to extreme length to keep the common people ignorant, uneducated, and uninformed.

After reviewing the situation of the previous kingdom, Wang Wei discovered that more than 95% of officials throughout the entire kingdom are related to the nobles' families one way and another.

This is one of the reasons that the Noble Alliance is not to worry about the change of  dynasty. Because whoever is the winner will still need their help if they want to govern the dynasty properly.

Because they are the true controller of this land, and this has been the case for countless generations and will remain the same for countless years  to come.

As for the remaining 5%, they are composed of a few scholars with upright morale that refused to associate with the nobles due to their corrupt behaviors.

However, the fate of the remaining 5% was actually quite bleak. All of them were suppressed, killed, or exiled far away from the capital by the Noble Alliance.

Wang Wei's next step of action is to promote the people from these 5%, cultivate a group of capable people as soon as possible while he slowly cut off the tentacles of the Noble Alliance from his dynasty.

Duke Zheng Mansion:

After his meeting with His Majesty Wang Wei, Zeng Yi returned home to his family and reported to the patriarch of the result.

Duke Zheng Yong was a middle-age man in the Divine Altar Realm, also the current patriarch of the Zheng Clan. After receiving the report, he frowned and started thinking about his next course of action.

"It seems that this new Emperor really wants to do something to our families," muttered Zheng Yong.

"So what do we do now? The plan has backfired on us," asked Marquis Leng Zan who was sitting next to the Duke.

"I think it's best to follow the agreement, then let our families lay low for a while. After all, we all know that these Extraterrestrial Demons will eventually leave this world when their trials are over," responded Viscount Chang Liu. "And I don't believe that his majesty would dare to blatantly kill us with all the power that we have in this kingdom."

The other two people nodded in agreement, then Marquis Leng Zan suddenly asked, "So which family are we going to sacrifice this time?"

Immediately, the room became silent with only the sound of breathing and slurping being heard.

After taking a sip of his tea, Duke Zheng Yong said with a smile, "It seemed that his majesty wanted to cause infighting among our alliance and divide us using this method. What a scheming Emperor. From the information I gathered, he is less than a hundred years old. If only my son had half, no a quarter of his abilities."

After sighing for more than 10 seconds, the Duke continued, "There is no need to argue about this. We can take this opportunity to get rid of the other two Duke households. However, we cannot let this new Emperor think that we are easy to bully."

The next day, Wang Wei was having a meeting with many of the ministers that are under his control. He was making plans for the establishment of the new dynasty.

Then, someone informed that Advisor Zhao Feng asked for a meeting. After nodding, Zhao Fenf entered the room with some new information.

He informed everyone how the Noble Alliance brought over all the family members of Duke Qiu and Duke Yun. They also brought many space rings with countless wealth in them: there were countless gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and land deeds to countless properties.

However, what was weird was the fact that a woman flying brought these things over. Furthermore, immediately afterward, the woman destroyed a building next to the royal palace.

After hearing this, the room became silent and many people started thinking. One person suddenly asked, "Excuse me, what does the Noble Alliance mean by this?"

"It's a message, or to be precise, a warning," answered Li Jun with a frown on his face.

"Message? Warning? What kind of warning?"

"It is to tell us that the final card of their family is actually also a Supernatural Realm cultivator," responded another voice. This time it was Wang Wei who explained.

However, the minister who asked the question was still somewhat confused, so he continued to ask:

"Your majesty, you have proven that you are way more powerful than any cultivator in the Transcending Mortality Realm, so why would they use this method to warn us? It makes no sense."

"I am indeed more powerful than cultivators in that realm, however, one of my biggest flaws is the fact that I cannot fly as easily and as fast as them in the air. As long as cultivators in that realm decide to run away, I cannot guarantee that I can prevent them from doing so."

"And if one of these Supernatural Realm cultivators decided to hide and use guerilla tactics and randomly attacked the citizens in the different cities located throughout our vast territory, there is nothing I can do about it."

Immediately, the minister realized the importance of this warning. Given how these nobles do not give a damn about ordinary people, it is highly likely that they would use such a method.

Yan Liling suddenly added to the conversation:

"The tactic of the Noble Alliance is actually quite brilliant. They use the deal we made with them to get rid of both Duke Qiu and Duke Yun Household--two nobles clans that were secretly raised by the previous ruler to balanced the rising power of the three most powerful and ancient noble clan in the Eastern Rain Kingdom: the Zheng, Chang, and Leng clan."

"By doing this and handing over their wealth, they showed an act of submission to the new dynasty, while at the same time, they also sent a powerful cultivator to deliver these things as a threat and deterrent, thus securing their place and status for the future."

"Essentially hitting two birds with one stone. Whoever came up with this idea has quite the tactical mind and political ability."

"It must have been that old fox Zheng Yong," answered Wang Wei with sneer on his face, "From the information I gathered, this old man is the most cunning and vicious of all the nobles."

"However, it does not matter. I have plenty of time to play these scheming old men. Just wait for me to fully control all the territory of this kingdom, then I will get rid of them."

…

Soon, two years passed in a blink of an eye. Today was special for the people from the former Eastern Rain Kingdom. A special day because today was the day that a new dynasty will be formally established on the ashes of the former kingdom.

In front of the royal place, Wang Wei was wearing a purple dragon robe with a crown on his head. An altar stood in front of him, while countless government officials stood behind him with Dong Lifen being the closest to him.

She was wearing a robe with many phoenixes on them and a crown also decorated with phoenixes. She looked breathtakingly beautiful, but also a little nervous.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei took out an imperial jade carving of a dragon called the Imperial Seal. This was a symbol of imperial power, and also a treasure that condensed the luck of the fortune dynasty.

This one was brought from the Myriad Emperor World specifically for the trial, otherwise he would have to use a less effective one from this world.

Wang Wei walked in front of the altar, and in front of billions of people watching--both personally or from Image Formation scattered all over the territory-- and said:

"Heavenly Dao above, in the past years, I have conquered vast territory, brought peace to this turbulent land, brought food, knowledge and prosperity to the people of this land. Now, I would like to establish a fortune dynasty with the name "Great Xia'. Please allow it."

Originally, Wang Wei wanted to call the dynasty "Great Wei" after his name, but given the fact there used to be a dynasty with that name, he chose the name of the Empire he ruled during the Fourth Pagoda Trials instead.

After executing the ceremony, Wang Wei suddenly felt a vast and powerful will appeared above the altar, then the will thoroughly scan the entire territory under his rule.

It checked the size of the territory, the living condition of the people, their happiness and satisfaction with their new ruler.

After that, countless golden lights--from all the land people--came together in the sky to form a golden dragon with nine claws. The dragon had beautiful and powerful scales all over its body.

This dragon was the manifestation of the Great Xia Dynasty's luck. This time, it was not only Wang Wei who saw it, but all the citizens of his territory.

This is the difference between a fortune dynasty and a regular one: the gathering and manifestation of Qi Luck.

Immediately afterwards, all the citizens knelt down and said at the same time, "Long Live, Long Live your majesty to Eternity."

This sound riveted throughout the entire dynasty, forming a beautiful harmony of Heaven and Earth. The sound then seemed to blend with the sky, then many auspicious clouds manifested above the sky, turning the Heaven into a golden luster.

Immediately afterwards, the Golden Dragon roared into the Heaven, then the character for "Xia" appeared from his mouth, flew over to Wang Wei's hand and turned into a scroll with the words "Conferred God List" written as a title.

He then read the words inscribed on them.

Conferred God List:

Emperor--?????

Empress--.....

First Consort--...

…

…

Prime Minister--... and so on.

After reading the title or positions of the list, he frowned  after seeing the questions marks behind the Emperor name. He sighed as he knew that what he feared the most had happened.
