Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wu Long was in a deserted area with many people around him. However, he was slightly distracted as he felt the power surging inside his body. He could feel the Origin Essence and the Spiritual Power inside his Sea of Consciousness.

In just a few decades, he broke through the Supernatural Realm. Wu Long knew this would typically be impossible. Amongst all his children, his talent was mediocre; the only reason he had any power in the royal family was his mind and military tactics.

Typically, his brother–the ruler of Region 2–would have been the next monarch, not because of his ability or talent. Wu Long knew his sister, Wu Fen, had the best cultivation talent and had one of the best political minds amongst the royal children.

She should be the best option to become the next sovereign. Unfortunately, her status as a bastard child and being a woman greatly hindered her path forward.

However, this was not the main reason she could not rule over the Martial Divine Dynasty; the main reason was that their father loved their fifth brother very much to the point of being biased. So, he would definitely pass the throne to him.

Although his talent was not the best, the Fifth Prince would eventually enter the Primordial Spirit Realm with the resources of the dynasty and secure his position.

Luckily, the intervention of the Immortal gave the genuinely talented and capable members of the royal family a chance to become the next Monarch.

"Your highness, everything is ready."

"Then, let's begin."

A few minutes later, Wu Long saw an enormous explosion that created a mushroom of clouds thousands of meters high.

"We succeeded."

"Yes. The power of this bomb is equivalent to Divine Altar Realm. With a hundred of them, it is possible to kill Supernatural Realm cultivators."

Wu Long nodded in satisfaction as his eyes lit up with excitement.

'With this weapon, I can quickly conquer the other regions and receive enough resources to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm,' he thought. Although he did not participate in creating this weapon, as one of the six leaders, he can receive Exchange Points based on his leadership capabilities.

Although it is not as much as some top scientists and engineers, it was still amongst the top echelons.

"Go check the nuclear radiation," ordered Wu Long. A few minutes later, someone came to report back to him.

"How is it?"

"The radiation is a scary thing; it can even affect the Origin Essence of Supernatural Realm cultivators if not careful," replied one of the Primordial Spirit Ancestors with a slightly uncomfortable tone; he did not like this kind of weapon that destroyed nature.

"Can it be purified?"

"Yes, but it will take time."

"Excellent," replied Wu Long, who wanted nothing to go wrong. "We will target the other region's research sites to delay their bomb creation. Then, we will manufacture more bombs to conquer their territory rapidly."

A few seconds after Wu Long said these words, the sky changed as auspicious clouds and music reverberated throughout Heaven and Earth.

"Congratulations to Region 3 for splitting the atom and creating the Atomic Bomb."

Wu Long frowned as he did not like that this announcement revealed his region's secret to his enemy, but there was nothing he could do about this. Then, he suddenly felt the ground shake slightly.

So, he and others flew into the sky to check what had happened. Then, all the cultivators saw another as marvelous as what happened more than 20 years ago.

A mysterious power divided the world into three sections: Region 3 along with all the conquered territories, Region 5 and 6. As for Region 1, governed by Wu Mingye, Wang Wei divided it into two and fused them with Region 5 and 6.

As for the Monarch, he disappeared along with all his followers.

Wu Long floated in the sky as he looked in the distance; all he could see was the endless vacuum of space.

"Prepare to focus on the space program," he ordered.

"But, your majesty, it is obvious that the Immortal does not want us to continue fighting," replied his associate.

"If that were the case, he would have completely banned it instead of using this method." Wu Long knew that his strength was military conquest. So, if he used other methods, he believed his chance of succeeding in this competition would exponentially be reduced.

Although now he has the advantage of population and resources, he did not think these advantages would last long.

The associate opened his mouth to say something but gave up; he understood that the prince had always been like this. He believed deeply in military might to the point of being hard=headed; it's almost like he has something to prove to others, to show that his ideas–which his father previously scoffed at–were correct.

With Wang Wei's intervention to separate the different regions, a long period of peace enveloped the world. Each region then focused on developing science and technology.

Someone developed the whole wide web along with computers to bring forth the advent of the Information Age. Not long after this, Wu Long's region developed Sub-Light Speed Engine and entered the Interstellar Era.

However, the technology is still not developed enough to reach the other regions since many problems would occur during all the attempts. Finally, region 6 created the first particle accelerator to study atoms and molecules.

Wang Wei looked at the scientists gathering data from the accelerator, and a smile appeared on his face.

'All this accomplishment in only 100 years; not bad.'

He knew that this progress would have been faster if not for him. His knowledge of science and technology is limited. So, he missed or lacked many things when he modified the world.

So, he had to make up for the deficiency based on the research and discoveries of each region, thus slowing down the progress. Suddenly, he felt something, so he focused his gaze on Wu Fen's fifth region.

'Have they succeeded?" he thought with interest.

Inside a laboratory, Wu Fen looked at a baby in nutrient fluids while a scientist dressed in ancient clothes and a modern white robe reported to her.

"After many trials and errors, we can now genetically enhance children to be stronger, faster, smarter, and an average life span of 120 years."

"Excellent. With this technology, we can now manufacture a batch of scientists and engineering, thus accelerating the development rate of our region," replied Wu Fen.

Her earlier plans fell apart before they could even begin. But this time, Wu Fen knew she was heading in the right direction.

'According to my analysis, after Information Age should be the Interstellar Age. However, what comes after that? The Genetic Age.'

While deep in thought, her watch suddenly ringed, and she checked her message. Then, without saying anything, she rushed to a room located deep underground.

"You succeeded? So quickly?" asked Wu Fen to a pale scientist who looked like he had not seen the sun for decades.

"Hahaha, I did succeed. Even I could not believe I succeeded so quickly."

Wu Fen took a deep breath before saying: "Academician Shen Ying, why don't you calm down and explain the data?"

Shen Ying took a deep breath also to calm down. Although he looked young and had no cultivation, he was over 120 years. He used all his Exchange Points to increase his life span and intelligence.

Although most mortals would use them to embark on the path of cultivation, he detested cultivators because of a past event. Nevertheless, he wanted their powers, so he looked to science for the answer.

"As I proposed to you decades ago, I studied the genetic structure of a cultivator in the Body Refining Realm. Then, I created a method for ordinary people to change their genes to evolve. And this is the result."

She Ying showed a video of two people fighting. One had blood qi flowing through their veins while the other looked ordinary. And yet, he could still keep up with the cultivators in terms of strength, speed, endurance, and other physical stats.

"I plan next to replicate the genes of Divine Sea cultivators, followed by Divine Altar to create a brand new cultivation system of Genetic Warriors. Unfortunately, so far, I've been stuck on this step."

"We have plenty of time, so there is no need to rush," reassured Wu Fen with excitement. She wanted this Genetic Warrior to flourish not only because it could help her region but because she wanted her mother to have the strength to protect herself after being revived.

In the River of Fate, Wang Wei watched this interaction with intrigue. He was responsible for the reason that Shen Ying succeeded so quickly. He placed all the remaining cultivators of this world in deep slumber before linking their brains and soul to form a Spiritual-Bio-computer.

Then, he granted unimaginable calculation powers to some gifted individuals to accelerate their research. So, with this aid, Shen Ying could succeed in his research in such a short time.

It's a shame this computer could not help comprehend the law since his calculation powers were many times more powerful than it. Moreover, he felt that his soul resisted any connections to the computer.

'Let me continue helping him.'

While Shen Ying lamented the difficulty of his research, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

'Energy is the main source of the power of cultivators, so the same can be applied to Genes. Instead of using Origin Qi, Genetic Warriors can condense and use bio-energy.'

His eyes lit up after having this idea, but he had other confusions.

'The problem is where to store the energy. The dantian is an idealistic concept not applicable to the materialistic idea of science of technology."

A frown appeared on his face as he contemplated how to deal with this issue. Then, another inspiration flashed in his mind.

'The cells: An average human body has over 30 trillion cells, not to mention 1st Stage Genetic Warriors. The Bio-energy can be stored in the cell. Furthermore, I can create two different paths of Gene Evolution:

'One relies on amassing bio-energy for evolution, and the other is by imitating the genes of each cultivation stage. Maybe one day, I can understand the genes of a Primordial Spirit Realm Ancestor and create a Genetic Warrior of that level.'

Without wasting time, Shen Ying returned to his work. Meanwhile, Wang Wei smiled in the River of Fate. He hoped that science and technology would develop to the point of analyzing the genes of a Great Emperor.

He felt that this might be his chance at surpassing the nine incarnations limits.
