Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1547

Chapter 1547: The Elder Council (Finale)

"You mentioned that the Earth Emperor Position will be a way to condense the Soul Quintessence?" Hell Judgment asked.

"That’s my theory," Wang Wei nodded.

"In that case, I want the sect’s support to compete for the position."

"Are you sure? You saw my deduction on the limits and restrictions on that path," Wang Wei said.

"Many people are hopeful for the future, thinking they can one day become a Primordial Chaos Saint. However, I am a realist. I know the barrier for the next realm will be a million times more challenging than the Paragon Realm."

Hell Judgment allowed his words to simmer. Will it be easy to enter the next realm? No one dares say that. Many people are optimistic, but realistically speaking, the number of people in the room qualified for that level can only be counted on one hand.

"I understand my limit," Hell Judgment continued, his words contained no self-deprecation, just assurance in who he was as a person. "This path is my best chance at transcendence."

His words plundered the room into a deep silence for a few minutes. He forced many people to re-evaluate their future and how they can survive or thrive during the disaster, or the Transcendent Age.

"If my theory is correct," Wang Wei said, heavily emphasizing the if part. "It will be in the sect’s favor to have someone controlling one of these positions, especially the one in the Eternal Ascension World. So, I support you.

"And as fate would have it, someone with deep connection to me and the Wang Clan may be the one chosen to be the Netherworld Emperor. If they succeed, your chances of becoming the Earth Emperor should increase."

Hell Judgment’s eyes shine: "The Netherworld Emperor? Who—"

"I can’t say anymore since it’s not guaranteed. Plus, it’s not wise to get into the Yama Kings’ affairs at this current state."

"I understand," Hell Judgment nodded.

"Since the sect is supporting people to compete for these positions, can we receive support for competing in other regions?" someone asked. According to Grand Elder Wang Wei’s prediction, there will be five regions: central, north, south, east, and west. A few people without confidence also wanted to try to compete in other regions.

"I understand everybody’s enthusiasm, and we will support capable individuals to compete for these positions. But, don’t forget we are still acting on a theoretical level. I don’t want you to get too excited, and the information is wrong," Qiyuan warned.

"That is true, but we can start preparing. Elder Wang Wei, do you have any theories on how the tests for these positions will be conducted?" Yan Shirong asked. He felt these Karmic Positions might be an excellent backup plan for him. Although he was confident in himself, he also wanted a way out in case the normal transcendent path did not work.

"Unfortunately, there is too little information to go on. However, we may get more information from Li Jun once he returns," Wang Wei said. Most of the people in the room were familiar with the name Li Jun, as he was famous for being one of the three original clans’ stars.

Wang Wei was already an anomaly, but people were shocked when Yan Liling, the new ascended, was granted the position of the Yan Clan Matriarch after entering the Empyrean Realm Peak. That decision itself is not shocking, as it is common to give the position to talented people to ensure their luck is entangled with the sect or the clan’s destiny.

The shocking part was the rumor that Wang Wei and Yan Liling would remain in their positions until they became Primordial Saints. Moreover, they also heard rumors that Li Jun would receive the same treatment once he arrived.

These people were not stupid and understood that these rumors were just a way to prepare everyone else for when the news was officially announced. As such, Li Jun has been in the upper echelons of the sect for a while now.

"And when is he showing up?"

"That’s hard to deduce or divine since Samsara currently protects his information," Wang Wei replied truthfully.

"Is that so?" Yan Shirong sighed softly.
