944 Secret Machinations
[Unedited Chapter]

"Your idea is fine and all, but what about the aftermath?"
"Yes, once the Spirit Genesis Sect begins to liquidate us, what can we do?"
"Have you guys truly lost your spine?" asked the War Priest. "After this war, they will focus on recuperating; how could they care about us? And in the unlikely chance that He Shiyi is dead…"
The muscle man did not continue his words, making some people revel in their imagination. Unfortunately, these people knew it was not a simple thing to kill an Eternal Emperor.
"As tempting as this idea is, we all know the Spirit Genesis Sect will remain dominant as long as they have that weapon," said the Purple Spirit King, exhaling deeply.
"For some reason, Heaven and Earth have begun to change in recent years. The restrictions on that weapon are beginning to loosen," said the Seer, an elderly man dressed sloppily and with all-white eyes with no pupil. He is the leader of the Fate Spirit Sect.
Their sect only had 3 Great Emperors, but their founder was an Eternal who proved the Dao with Divination Dao, and all other Emperors awakened a Fate-related Spirit, making them extremely valuable in the world as the main source of intelligence gathering.
"Lord Seer, do you know the reason?" asked everybody respectfully. Although this old man was not the strongest of this group, everybody feared and respected him because of the knowledge and secrets he knew.
"The secrets of Heaven cannot be easily detected. I only know it's because of some mechanism of Heaven and Earth."
"Does this have to do with the recent changes in the upper dimension?"
"Maybe," replied the Seer, making everybody quiet. Their situation is worse than expected if the latter says it is true. It was difficult for the Spirit Genesis Sect to activate their weapon in the past. But now, they learned it will be easier for them to do so.
"In that case, let's forget it," said the Purple Spirit King. "Let's protect our region and help him activate the Void Battlefield."
"I can help with your situation."
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and their faces changed. An unknown stranger was in their meeting, and they did not even notice it.
"Who are you?" roared the War Priest.
"You're a very spirited individual, aren't you?" said the intruder. As the person gazed at the War Priest, the man felt the fear of God for the first in his life. His War Spirit, which was the embodiment of boldness and never backing down, almost crumbled, and his Dao Heart almost shattered. Luckily, the intruder removed his gaze.
"I am the person responsible for this attack, and I can help your situation."
"Your excellency, whoever you are, it does not change the fact you are an outsider," said the Purple Spirit King, secretly swallowing his saliva to calm himself down; he did not succumb to the same gaze as the War Priest but he felt an instinctual fear when the person revealed his presence.
"There is no point in saying these hypocritical words now," said Wang Wei's projection. "You have an enemy, and the same enemy happens to be my enemy, so why can't we be friends?"
No one said anything for a while before the Flower Spirit Saintess asked: "How can you help us?"
"Simple, I will give you an excuse why you could not help He Shiyi," replied Wang Wei.
"I will send people to "attack" your factions, and that should be more than enough to explain to the Spirit Genesis Sect once the battle ends."
"This might work."
However, no one said anything afterward.
Wang Wei shook his head, "Your hearts are full of fear. You have been oppressed for so long that you have developed the mentality of the weak–the mentality of losers."
These people's faces changed and became ugly. They wanted to rebut him, but they did not dare. For one, they were scared of the intruder's display of power, and second, they knew he was correct.
"Let's fucking do it," roared the War Priest.
"Huh? You've awakened so soon? It seems I underestimated you." He thought this guy would have to spend years to get out of the fear he instilled in him, trying to repair his Dao Heart. But in such a short time, he awakened and sublimated his Dao Heart.
The War Priest snorted, "Our War Spirit Temple does not walk the path of invincibility, so defeat is acceptable to us.However, fear is only for cowards and the weak-minded."
Although he knew he could not defeat this man–even in his entire life–he would never allow himself to cower before anyone–no matter who they were.
"Interesting," said Wang Wei as he looked at this man. "With your current state, it's only a matter of time before you reach a higher level with your temple's [War God Record].
If you can wash away your karma, you might prove the Dao and even have a chance at achieving Eternity."
"How…do you know so much?" asked the War Priest, baffled.
"Because he's the embodiment of Fate itself," uttered the Seer while trembling.
Everyone looked at him, not hiding their puzzlement.
"So, do you agree with my offer?" asked Wang Wei.
"Why not?" said the Purple Spirit King, who suddenly felt envious of the War Priest; a secret part of him felt it was a great honor to receive praise from the intruder. Of course, he would never admit this truth.
"Wise choice," said Wang Wei, not giving the others time to make a choice, He raised his hand, and a subtle change occurred in this illusory space. Everybody felt something had happened, but they did not know exactly what.
"Sir?" asked the Saintess.
"Don't worry. I'm only taking precautions to prevent anyone from revealing the truth to the Spirit Genesis Sect under threat or temptation."
This was indeed a problem, but these people wondered why this outsider was so concerned about their world. Shouldn't he be glad they can turn against each other, plundering the world into chaos?
Wang Wei did not explain anything to them and prepared to leave.
"My Lord, wait," said the Seer. His projection stood up from his seat and kowtow on the ground. "Please, take me as your disciple."
"Sir Seer," said multiple people as they stood up from their seats. It was one thing to work with an outsider but something entirely different to become their disciple.
"You do not understand," said the Seer with a deep sigh, "Our founder's greatest regret is he could only peek at a corner of the wonder that is fate. Meanwhile, all our descendants have fallen into the Outlaw Trial or are scared even to participate.
"We thought it was impossible for anyone to succeed, but a living example exists before me. If I don't take this chance, I know I will regret it for the rest of my life."
People looked at the Seer with a different look; some understood, while others were still confused. After all, not everyone knew Wang Wei calmly looked at the elderly man before him and said, "I have no desire to take in an apprentice now, and your destiny and luck are not enough to bear the karma of being my apprentice.
"However, I admire your desire to pursue the Dao, so I'll give you a gift."
He raised his hand to condense some of his understanding of fate into a talisman. The talisman disappeared in the distance, appearing before the Seer in the Fate Spirit Sect.
"Thank you, Lord, for the gift," said the Seer, still remaining in his kowtow form.
Although disappointed he could not become the latter's apprentice, such a gift is enough to become the foundation of their sect, allowing them to better peer at the secrets of fate while reducing the price they must make.
Wang Wei nodded. He had his reasons for caring so much about the Battle Spirit World and granting this man such a gift.
The Heavenly Court must expand to the lower dimension, having a relationship or contact with all Heaven Will World.
As such, he did not want to leave a bad impression on these people with Xu Shi's actions. Otherwise, it would become troublesome in their future interactions, so he needed to alleviate their relationship to the best of his ability.
He does not hope these people will help him with his work; he will be satisfied if they do not interfere. If he plays his card correctly, the elderly man might become his aid when he intervenes in the affairs of this world. At the very least, he will be an ambassador that connects the two worlds.
Once his work finished, Wang Wei's projection disappeared.
Myriad Emperor World, Heavenly Court:
Wang Wei continued to observe everything that was happening in the Battle Spirit World.
"It was truly a mistake for our world to alienate ourselves from the outside," he commented. He did not show up only to instigate these factions but also because he wanted to analyze and copy their Void
Battlefield since he had the same idea for his battle with Old Man Nether.
Eternal Emperors' destructive ability is too powerful, so most Heaven Will will create a Void Battlefield, a special dimension where these god-like entities can use their full power without affecting the world in the slightest.
Heavenly Dao's limit is Second Class, so any First Class and above Emperors can destroy the world if they go on a rampage.
Wang Wei looked in the distance. He saw many worlds with a Void Battlefield; it's a product of a well-developed civilization.
'The Immortal-Avenue Pact reduced the presence and battle of Immortal Powerhouses. However, if the world had a Void Battlefield, so many lives and World Source could have been saved.'
When the Heaven Devouring Emperor went on a rampage, Wang Wei could imagine how many people died in that catastrophe.
If the world had communicated with the outside and built a Void Battlefield, they could have forced him into it and saved much effort.
'Forget it, there is no point in thinking about this,' concluded Wang Wei. Building a Void Battlefield was not a simple thing and needed very rare and valuable materials.
Furthermore, his task is even more difficult since he wants to build one capable of bearing the strength of Empyreans.
'Maybe I can get merit for this thing,' suddenly thought Wang Wei. 'If I can change the order of the entire Lower Dimension, making that once cultivator with the strength of First Class and above release certain fluctuations, they will instantly be teleported to the Void Battlefield.'
His eyes lit up since the idea was feasible.
Upon success, he will save countless lives and save multiple worlds' countless World Source.
'If I want to succeed, I will need a special Void Battlefield and also enter the Taboo Realm of Battle Realm.'
The best way to accomplish this plan would be to go to each World Community and change things. However, Wang Wei felt it would be better for his strength to enter the Taboo Field and do it in one step; such a method would ensure higher success, and he won't have to deal with all these people he knows will try to stop him for one reason or another
