1173 New Enemy?
Limbo:
The Human Emperor opened its eyes as he sensed something. He wanted to descend to the lower dimension through a projection but remembered Heavenly Dao's blockade. Ying Zheng frowned. This time, he really could not postpone checking what was happening since his senses told him something important had occurred.
'I can either ask Maitreya for a favor or..." He summoned a jade pendant shaped like a butterfly with cracks scattered on its body, which ruined its beauty and preciousness. Ying Zheng squinted at the butterfly jade pendant. 'At this stage, there is no point in being too suspicious.'
He activated its power, instantly allowing him to see what was happening in the lower dimension. His eyes focused on Wang Wei.
"A Minor Three Realm Emperor?" he muttered, not hiding his surprise. He could barely accept someone becoming a Lesser Three Realm Emperor, meaning they've acquired the Three Karmic Position in one Heaven Will World. But now, he sees someone who has succeeded in getting acceptance or a position from the entire lower dimension.
"If I can get it from him, my plan will have a higher chance of success," Ying Zheng muttered. His original plan was long and convoluted. Luck was on his side, and he successfully transformed his Lesser Human Emperor into a True Human Emperor during the Devil Race's catastrophe. The next step was the others, but none of them were easy to acquire - especially in the Primary Source Chaos Worlds.
He once tried the Earth Emperor test before ascending to the upper dimension, but the Yama King told him his mind was as complicated as those of Dao Overlords; thus, he was disqualified. No matter what Ying Zheng tried, the latter refused and did not even allow him to take the test.
He had no choice but to change the plan. His divination told him the Myriad Emperor World was the place that would allow him to achieve his goal, and one day in the future, an opportunity to acquire the Lesser Heavenly Emperor Position would appear. Ying Zheng immediately left preparations using the Human Destiny Sword to ensure one of his pawns was the one who received the positions.
The plan was to take this Lesser Position and cultivate it into a Minor Position in the Upper Dimension, which was easier than stated, given how vast the Eternal Ascension World was and his current strength, status, and resources available. As long as he had the seed for the Lesser Position, the next evolution was not a problem.
The real problem was to transform it into higher levels. According to his plan, Ying Zheng would travel to another ordinary Source Chaos World to cultivate the seed of the position from Minor into the Greater Heavenly Emperor Positions by scheming against the world or overpowering True Heavenly Dao if necessary.
The last step is to return to the Eternal Ascension World or any Primary Source Chaos World for the final evolution into the position of the True Heavenly Emperor. Ying Zheng did not plan for the final step yet, but his divination indicated that this world contained his chance to take one step into transcendence.
The greatest trouble to his plan was the Earth Emperor's Position. The Yama Kings did not like him, and he was not confident in secretly scheming against them, as one wrong move could ruin everything and force him to waste millions of Yuan Epochs of patience and plotting.
Ying Zheng then chose a pawn to be the face of the Earth Emperor Plan. His approach was to create a fake Earth Emperor, or specifically, a fake Yama King. He combined his understanding of Fortune Dynasties to create a fake or independent Samsara Court. The ruler of the dynasty would also be the ruler of the citizen's afterlife or reincarnation.
In other words, the ruler would be a Yama King, the ministers would be the Nether Servants, and the citizens would be the souls that would be reincarnated. Technically speaking, all the citizens in such a dynasty would be immortal as they would just reincarnate as someone else in the dynasty after death.
"Calm down. Convincing True Heavenly Dao will not be simple. The situation is perfect for me, but I might still need to make a binding vow to build credibility, but that's okay. As long as I can deal with Supreme Unity, I'll gain my freedom and preserve all my strength.' With him, Heavenly Dao, and Maitreya, Supreme Unity should have no choice.
Ying Zheng swiftly calmed down as he focused on Wang Wei. He squinted his eyes before becoming somber: "This kid is related to the Dao Opening Sect? It's not a good idea to get into these bastards' bad sides."
The only faction more powerful than the Dao Opening Sect is the Myriad Sect Alliance, but in a direct confrontation, it's hard to say who would win because the Dao Opening Sect is one sect and thus united, while the alliance - not so much.
The Qin Saint Court is among the [Thirteen Overlords], but its strength is in the middle and does not have the ability to confront the Dao Opening Sect - unless it finds other allies.
"Well, it just got more complicated," Ying Zheng muttered as he detected Wang Wei's strong karmic connection with Wu Hong. That woman's rise was legendary as she became the youngest Primal Paragon in the Eternal Ascension World's history.
"What? He's reincarnated from the Prehistoric World?' Ying Zheng's face twisted after deducing this truth. His body released a terrifying killing intent before suppressing it. "Is he a pawn Hongjun sent to deal with me?"
He did not know the truth, but his suspicious mind could not help but think of the worst possible situation or outcome.
"Do I have to kill this bastard?" Ying Zheng started weighing the pros and cons of this decision more seriously. Killing him would have severe consequences, which made him hesitate before, but this new information complicates things and even makes the risk worth it.
