Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Wang Wei resisted the urge to yell and ask whether these Elders were revolting against the sect; how dare they treat the sect master in this way. However, he remembered how irresponsible he was about this position, so he shut his mouth.

'To be fair, it's not my fault.' He has to cultivate and prepare for the Heaven Will Battle. So, he could not be like his father and spend more time reviewing the sect affairs. Anyways, everything was fine as long as he steered everyone in the right direction and took care of the major decisions.

Wang Wei sighed out loud before reviewing all this paperwork. He suddenly remembered his past life as a young Deputy Manager. He spent almost every day buried in the smell of paper and ink.

'Luckily, I'm now a cultivator.' He used his Divine Sense to review everything rapidly; he wanted to finish everything as soon as possible.

'The first issue is the demon race in the north,' thought Wang Wei. The alliance proceeded smoothly. The sect helped revitalize the north by sharing Qi Gathering Array with them and fixing the Origin Source Veins underneath the continent. In less than a million years, the Spiritual Qi of the north should return to a standard level and drastically increase their resources.

Although it will still be the lowest of the five continents, it will be better than the Sea Islands between the continents where low-level Loose Cultivators thrived; it will no longer be as barren as it was in the past.

The sect helped the demons plant more spiritual herbs and prevented other factions from ravaging these newly planted Medicinal Gardens.

Lastly, the Dao Opening Sect shared allowed the demon race to enter the professional industry through their channels. Albeit, only the low-level markets.

Wang Wei suggested the sect achieve this step through low-level demonic beasts. After creating the concept of [Demon School], the number of low-level demonic beasts exponentially increased, resulting in a booming in the low-level market of Professions.

Low Tier Talisman Makers need to use papers to make talismans instead of spiritual jade. However, uniquely processed papers must be used, and they can be expensive. Luckily, there is an alternative and cheaper option: the skin of demonic beasts. Since demonic beasts absorb Spiritual Qi into their bodies, some of it remains after their death–making them perfect for Talisman making. And it's not just their skin; their blood is also great to use to create special ink engrave runes on talismans.

Demonic beast's bones and muscles are excellent materials for making low-tier Origin Artifacts. Before Tier 4 and becoming true demon races, they have bloodline cores inside their bodies that are great ingredients for pills, along with their blood, bones, and flesh.

Lastly, their bloodline core, bones, and organs are also material for low-level Array Disks–which are portable arrays used by Array Masters in the early stages of their cultivation to have some fighting powers.

Not to mention beast-taming. Because of the early widespread use of constructs for traveling, the beast-taming industry took a significant hit since people no longer needed demonic beasts to travel. Many factions whose primary source of income came from this industry suffered.

However, with the new demands for low-level demonic beasts, they began to thrive again.

With all these benefits, the Profession Industries have boomed, and the Dao Opening Sect benefited immensely since they were the creator of the Demon School Concept. And now, they invited the demon race to take part.

At first, they hesitated since the demon race might be repulsed at the idea of using demonic beasts in such a way. However, they quickly agreed after seeing all the benefits. After all, the demon race did not consider demonic beasts the same race as them.

Only after the latter reached Tier 4 and could change into human shape would they be considered a low-bloodline demon race and barely accepted. Before that, they are nothing but animals with little intelligence.

Wang Wei reviewed the information on the north. There was nothing much for him to pay attention to besides some other factions secretly trying to prevent the rise of the demon race. Some were even allies.

He ordered the sect to keep watch on these people. And if they catch some people, make them pay a heavy fine or suffer the consequence.

Wang Wei nodded in satisfaction with this issue. Although the sect has invested a lot of resources in the north with little to no return, the future benefits are incalculable.

The next major issue was the spread of different branches in the Lower Realm. There was nothing of significance except for the news they might have found a world with a branch of the Emperor Enlightened Academy. The sect worried they were doing the same as them, spreading their tentacles into the Lower Realm.

'The Academy's Qi Luck stabilized and recuperated faster than I anticipated after that incident. This could explain why,' thought Wang Wei. The sect was already searching for other worlds where the Academy might exist, so he did not need to do much except increase the manpower required for the search.

Someone recommended they destroy that branch, but he vetoed this suggestion. Sooner or later, the other factions will follow the sect's footsteps and spread in the Lower Realm. They only need to use the headstart to establish an overwhelming advantage over everyone else.

The third main issue involved the devil cultivators in the western continent. Low-level Devil cultivators have become more potent because of the demonic beast. They can raise these beasts through the school system before slaughtering and absorbing their flesh, blood, and soul.

"I guess this is better than them killing humans,' thought Wang Wei. 'However, these devil cultivators are a restless bunch: who knows what they will do after their overall strength increases.'

Wang Wei frowned. According to historical records, these devil cultivators always become restless around the Clean Up because of the Devil Race. It is an opportunity for them to kill without restraint, morality, or judgment; it's the perfect time to increase their strength.

'The Great Purge,' thought Wang Wei with a frown. When a world is overpopulated, Heavenly Dao will lower Qi of Calamity, driving most of the habitants crazy and causing chaos that leads to mass killing. This process is also called the [Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth], and it has happened twice in the Myriad Emperor World: in the Null Era and the Middle Emperor Era.

However, the one in the Middle Emperor was different. To be specific, well controlled and not as random. A secret realm appeared in the Western Continent full of blood, flesh, soul, and other resources that can forcibly raise the cultivation realm of cultivators.

After the secret realm suddenly appeared, the strength of the devil cultivators drastically increased. But they became a little too powerful as they allied together and forced the Di Clan to close their family mountain and enter a defensive position.

Then, Heavenly Dao intervened. At that time, the world's population reached critical mass and needed cleansing. Heavenly Dao lowered Qi of Calamity, forcing a Great Purge directed toward the devil cultivators. Numerous sects, clans, religions, and other factions began slaughtering the devil cultivators, turning the Western Continent's soil red.

The devil cultivators even turned on each other because of competition for the secret realm. Of course, countless sect cultivators died in that melee, thus reducing the population.

'Could a new purge be on the horizon? I remember the demon race was also severely impacted.' The human race was the protagonist of this world, so Heavenly Dao decided to use the purge to eliminate the cancer of the race–devil cultivators–and their greatest enemy–the demon race.

'The devil cultivators and the demon race are prospering. All these could be a sign of another Purge,' thought Wang Wei, pondering what to do next if it was true.

'The core of the issue is the lack of resources. But if I revert the environment to Innate Period, most of this problem can be solved. However, in the future, another critical mass will lead to another Purge."

The situation is not that easy to solve. The laws of Heaven and Earth are already balanced. Cultivators absorb Spiritual Qi to increase their vitality, and when they die, their flesh decomposes and returns some energy back to Heaven and Earth.

Even if he keeps increasing the resources available to the Myriad Emperor World, there will still be a limit. Once that limit is reached and overpopulation occurs, the Great Purge is the only answer.

So, there is nothing much Wang Wei can do.

'No, there is.' He thought. The bodies of Void Shattering Realm cultivators and above do not quickly decay. It's not impossible for a Saint's Body to last a few million years and remain relatively intact because of the baptism of the Law. As a result, many weak factions will turn these bodies into weapons or puppets as the foundation for their sect.

'I can change the world's order and make these Law Bodies decompose faster and return their strength to Heaven and Earth.

Wang Wei smiled since this was another way to get some merit. Then, he continued with the sect affairs. As for the devil cultivators and possible Purge? It should not happen so close to the Heaven Will Battle. So, he only needs to keep an eye out for them and their actions.

And if it did, he would try to direct it toward the Devil Race and the Sea Race–these people have been too peaceful and never suffered. Their population alone might be the largest–even bigger than humans.
