Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 630

Ao Shen was a careful man since he had to. As such, he was unwilling to lay all his eggs in one basket. He had to plan for the possibility of failing to prove the Dao, leaving himself a way out.

By searching through his innate bloodline, he found the answer: the Heaven Path Tribulation. Innate Lifeforms are very hierarchal. Often, the rank in which they are born determines their status. A dragon born with the power of Saint Realm will have a higher position than one taken with the Void Shattering Realm.

However, they can still cultivate and improve. Moreover, Innate Lifeforms had to evolve and change to survive against Acquired Lifeforms during the ancient war. And the main reason for their strength was the Heaven Path Tribulation, which allowed Tier 9 Innate Lifeforms to enter Tier 10, on par with great Emperors.

After the tribulations, True Heavenly Dao will bless their Innate Laws, allowing them to compete with the Great Emperor's Grand Dao Source. The Tier 10 Innate Lifeforms are called Primarchs and are divided into 6 Stars.

The first star is equivalent to Immortal Venerable, the second star equals Dao Ancestors, the three stars were on par with Third Class Great Emperors, and the six stars equal Eternal Emperors.

The appearance of the Heaven Path Tribulation provided Innate Lifeforms the advantage in the war, but it was only a brief one. With their ingenuity, humans quickly discovered that after transferring Innate Bloodlines into their bodies and developing them to the point of awakening Innate Laws, they could also undergo tribulation and become Primarchs. The only downside was the tribulation was a hundred to a thousand times more difficult for them, but that did not stop many people.

Ao Shen learned that Heavenly Dao would not prevent him from participating in the Heaven Will Batte because of his identity. However, if he wanted to participate in the tribulation after the battle, he needed to pay the price, hence why he gathered the merit.

He plans to become a 6-star Primarch if he fails to prove the Dao. Then, he will protect the demon race in the upcoming era. After a while, he will refine his body and power into a race protecting treasure for the demon race before going into reincarnation and trying again.

Ao Shen's ambition is to be an Eternal Emperor since it is the best path of cultivation. Once a Primarch left their Chaos World, they would be as weak a chicken before an Emperor–unless they can turn their Innate Laws into Primordial Laws or cultivate a body on par with Fiendgods.

He did not want to spend his entire life limited by the Chaos World, nor did he know how to transfer his Innate Law into Primordial Law. The best course of action is to walk the Emperor Path.

Ao Shen placed the merit away, thinking about how he could gather more since he did not know whether it was enough.

"The demon race needs a better intelligence agency." He realized how little information he could gather with the current system, which was dangerous since he knew little about his competitors. Therefore, he decided to take this matter seriously and oversee the process himself.

Central Continent, Emperor Enlightening Academy:

Headmaster Song Li ended the conference call with a pondering look. "Maybe, her decision is correct." His mind traveled three hundred years ago, after the Deception Trial.

Xu Shi asked for a meeting with the academy's upper echelons:

"I want to prove the Dao in another World Community."

No one responded to her because of the shock of this sudden news.

"Xu Shi, do you know what you are saying?" asked Song Li after regaining his composure. "Proving the Dao in another world will mean you are now a foreigner. Even if you leave your inheritance to the Academy, we won't receive any luck or destiny."

Xu Shi was aware of the consequences since her actions were frowned upon. After becoming an Emperor, even if she left her artifact, scripture, array, and other resources for the sect, she would technically not count as the Academy's Emperor since they would receive no Luck or Destiny.

Even if she preached the Dao in the Myriad Emperor World, there would be no benefit since she is a foreign Emperor.

"I understand the consequences," she explained. "But after the trial, I realized my chances of winning the final battle were slim. And I cannot afford to lose."

The elders were quiet as they knew about the trial. They were once excited about their Heaven Chosen breaking the barrier between Mortals and Immortals. But then they soon learned that all the other participants from the Myriad Emperor World did the same. And Wang Wei even achieved 6-Leaf strength, and there was the possibility this level was not the limit of his power.

"I"m sure we can find another method," commented a teacher.

"Or, we can still wait for another generation." Many people favored Xu Shi over Lin Fan because she inherited all his positive qualities, not the bad ones like his lust. The only issue they had was her obsession with reviving him. However, as long as she could reign it a little, it would be the perfect driving force without interfering with her cultivation.
