Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1543

Chapter 1543: The Elder Council (I)

"This was quite the ride," Wang Wei muttered as he flew toward the Elder Council Mountain. His glamorous clothes have been dispersed, meaning he was back to his white ceremonial clothes. However, Wang Wei changed to his iconic purple robe with golden stitching on the cuffs, featuring symbolic or decorative motifs of strings and control.

"Enjoying yourself?"

"It was quite an interesting experience," Wang Wei smiled. "But the records never showed any such precedents."

"No one has ever created as much Memorialized Luck for a faction," Qiyuan replied. "And I have a feeling the dragon also shares my view that you are the future of the sect."

"That’s fine by me, as long as you don’t drop all the heavy loads on me and act like you’re retired."

"Of course not. I’m still young and have many things to do."

Wang Wei looked at him, and for the first time, he believed these words. It seemed that Qiyuan had worked out whatever spiritual crisis he was having after the Ultimate Taboo.

"Alright, let’s get started." Everyone returned to the meeting room and took their position.

"Our first order of business is the Void Illusion Realm," Qiyuan continued. "Grand Elder Wang Wei has recently acquired control of this realm, and you can imagine the importance of its acquisition."

"The disaster is coming, and it should be our main means of communication," someone communicated.

"We used it during the first and second Origin War, I don’t see why we shouldn’t use it again?"

"Now that we control it, we will have more power during the Assembly."

"Forget about the power," said Grand Elder Li Shengzong, the former patriarch of the Li Clan. "We should be worrying about security."

"What do you mean?"

"In the previous wars, we didn’t have to worry about the enemy taking control of the Void Illusion Realm. However, with Primordial Saints existing and probably participating in the disaster, this should be a major concern."

"I didn’t think of that. But can we even ensure adequate protection? Do we need to rely on Buddhism for this matter?"

"If we do, we will have to share control of the realm with them."

"Should we be worrying about such a minor matter? A disaster is coming, and we don’t even know if we’ll survive. Our priority should be our safety, not power or control."

"So, we agree to work with Buddhism?"

"How about we wait a little while to buy some kind of defensive measures from the exchange list? We know there will be resources at the Transcendent Saint Level."

"Can we afford it? And even if we can, is the price worth it for the Void Illusion Realm?"

"That’s a fair point."

Everyone shared their thoughts and opinions before silencing themselves and looking at the ancestors. "What do you think?" Qiyuan asked.

"We have two choices: work with Buddhism or Heavenly Dao," Yan Shirong said calmly. "The Void Illusion Realm is a fundamental part of the Eternal Ascension World, and Heavenly Dao should be more than capable of ensuring its safety."

Qiyuan nodded as this was his train of thought as well. "Wang Wei? What do you think?"

"Under normal circumstances, I would recommend working with both. Communication is key to any war or conflict, and securing our primary means of communication should be a top priority. However, there are underlying circumstances that forced me to recommend Buddhism."

"Oh?" Qiyuan asked, slightly intrigued. He thought of something: "Is this about Ma Liquiu that you mentioned?"

"That’s right. According to my prediction, she should be reviving herself soon. Heavenly Dao is about the overall situation, and after knowing that Ma Liquiu has a high chance of becoming a Primordial Saint with the Void Illusion Realm, it will give her control or access."

"We can’t let that happen," a Grand Elder said.
