Chapter 1041 Expansion
1041 Expansion
Wang Wei knew why these people were hesitating about making a decision: fear that he or other people would have access to their sect's inheritance. Little did they know that he had already most of their faction's scriptures. He created the library mainly to preserve his sect's status in the world; he only brought it up to give others a similar opportunity.
The library took a lot of effort from him as he hid it in a special dimension composed entirely of Void Power, similar to the Void Battlefield. It would be difficult to affect this place since it's technically outside space-time - even if the world's timeline or history was wiped out once again.
Wang Wei even left protection to prevent people from using karma or the River of Fate from affecting it. Before leaving, he will influence the world's memory so that they will forget the library's existence; even Heavenly Dao will only vaguely know of its existence.
He created an Immortal Spirit for the library whose only purpose or existence is to bring out the library from the void at the appropriate time.
"Our next order of business is the Lower World Expansion," declared Wang Wei. He snapped his finger to project an extensive map teeming with dots of three colors: gold, silver, and bronze. The moment these representatives lay eyes on the map, the meaning of these colors entered their minds: Great Thousand Worlds were gold, followed by Middle and Small Thousand Worlds.
A few people were shocked the court had such a detailed map of this world community, but when they remembered who was before them, they understood everything made sense.
"After the hard work of our General Department Affairs, the Lower Realm was divided into what I consider a fair share," continued Wang Wei. "Each of you has been assigned a number of worlds, and your purpose is to spread the court's power to these worlds."
He raised his hand to show everyone the design of a Heaven Tier Formation.
"Once you land on these worlds, you only need to cover the world with this formation, and the Heavenly Dao of said world will be linked to our own. Then, you can officially establish God Positions and so on."
Wang Wei moved his eyes to the back, "I promised the non-Emperor Lineages I would take care of you, and I consider myself a man who keeps his promise. I've designated a decent share of these worlds for you guys. Additionally, I understand some of you cannot lay out a Heaven Tier Formation yet, so the court has refined these special pillars with the same effect."
The representatives of some Law Lands blushed in embarrassment. They lived in a new era where the Dream World existed, so it was inexcusable their faction could not even set up a Heaven Tier Array. However, they could not help it as they were still in the process of elevating their sect's foundation, and not much time had passed since the creation of the Dream World. They immediately thanked his majesty for his grace and considerations.
Wang Wei accepted their words before continuing: "Expect resistance from the citizens of this world. As you know, no cultivators will accept foreign intervention in their worlds - even positive changes."
He snapped his finger to manifest information talismans to every representative.
"This is a guideline created by the court for interacting with the natives. As you can see, at least 5% of the God Positions must be granted to the natives to facilitate peaceful communication and existence. Personally, I think that number should be between 15-20%, especially in Greater Thousand Worlds with a relatively high power ceiling."
Wang Wei paused to give these people time to read the information and process his words. "As you can see, there is a highlighted clause about the consequences of creating a Child of Destiny."
Everyone focused on that section.
"If a Child of Destiny is created due to your brutal rule over these worlds, the court will fine you a heavy sum, and in the worst-case scenario, your right to govern such a world will be revoked. If a destined individual is created solely because of a world's Heavenly Dao's counterattack or unwillingness to be subjugated, there will be no penalties."
Wang Wei snapped his finger to show them a particular room with a crystal ball at the center: "This is an artifact I created to keep track of the birth of any Child of Destiny in the Lower Realm. We will vote on a special task force team in charge of observing and investigating their appearances."
Wang Wei knew not to underestimate any Child of Destiny as they could be the catalyst to end his era. So, he was extra prepared for the appearance of these people. He gazed at the back again to address the non-Emperor Lineages: "The Supreme Lands with Quasi-Emperors have the choice to control Greater Thousand Worlds. Don't worry; they are not planes with any Immortal Tier Powerhouses. However, you also have to consider the fact that these worlds can give birth to talented individuals who can challenge their realms. If you choose a Greater Thousand World as your territory and fail to appease the chaos, you can ask the court for help and pay a steep price."
After he said these words, only a few factions accepted this offer, and they were the top-of-the-line Supreme Lands with a few Quasi-Emperors; these Supreme Lands were on the verge of collecting enough merit points to exchange for an Immortal Mansion and ascending to the level of an Immortal Lineage.
Wang Wei did not comment on these people's choices. After all, they had to be responsible for their destinies.
"After you arrive at your territory, appease the chaos, and choose your God Positions, the next step is to elevate the mortal civilizations. According to your guidelines, it's recommended that you involve the mortal civilizations in your domain in this expansion; the changes should be easier to accept coming from other mortals. Remember, 20% of the merit for this development will be handed to me."
Wang Wei did not say to the court but himself, sending a message to these people they should not mess with his benefit.
"As many of you can guess, my purpose is to raise the literacy rate in the world before I open the Enlightening Temple in every world in the Lower Realm; do not be greedy and try to intervene in my temples in any form or shape - I won't be lenient in this matter."
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine but immediately agreed.
"Once everything is set up, you can grant your world's access to the Dream World; I don't think I need to tell you when that is appropriate - you can use your best judgment."
Wang Wei's eyes turned to Ao Shen, "You can open the Demon School in all territories of the Lower Realm, but 90% of the merit goes to me and the Dao Opening Sect."
Ao Shen's mouth almost twitched, but he did not say anything. Someone else created the concept of Demon School, so he was just glad he was giving a share of the pie. Anyway, 10% of the merit from all the worlds in the Lower World was still a heavy profit.
"I understand."
"You're a smart guy, so I don't need to warn you of the consequences of not controlling your people while ruling these worlds."
"I know." One fact that has haunted him for so long is that their race was not the protagonist of Heaven and Earth. As a result, everything became complicated when it came to them. Luckily, this fact will soon benefit them when this court spreads to world communities where the demon race is the protagonist.
Wang Wei's next target was Xu Shi, "If you want to spread the Academy to other people's territory, you can negotiate with them."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," saluted Xu Shi by cupping her hands. She knew it was because of their friendship that she was allowed such an opportunity in the first place, and she was grateful and dared not ask for more.
"Feng Heng."
"This poor monk is here."
"To honor my status as an Honorary Buddha, I will allow you to set up a branch in every world in the Lower Realm."
Feng Heng was slightly surprised, not by the expansion but by the fact that the Heavenly Emperor publicly admitted he was an Honorary Buddha and was not the only one. The Taoist Sects panicked at this news. They knew the rise of Buddism was inevitable in this generation, but it would be completely different if they had the support of possibly the greatest and strongest Emperor the lower dimension had ever seen.
"This poor monk ???"
"Don't thank me yet," said Wang Wei calmly. "Although you can spread Buddhism, you won't be entitled to any God Positions or merit besides the one from your domain."
Wang Wei made a somewhat bold choice of announcing this news because of Supreme Unity and Maitreya's disappearance. But that did not mean he would also allow Buddhism to grow unrestrained.
"This poor monk is not greedy." Feng Heng knew he only needed to exchange a few God Positions with others in a few key worlds to ensure Buddism's power was not too scattered and everything else would be alright.
"Any more questions?"
