Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1054 Dragon Gate

Ao Shen walked into the throne room and saluted as usual. With his [Awakening], Dao Will, Will Manifestation, and a Bloodline Ability that turned into a Source Technique, he has achieved 3-Peak Battle Fold, and that will increase after refining his unique Proving Dao Artifact and using the remaining merit he has to increase his cultivation. However, he knew such strength was useless before this man.

"What can I do for you, your majesty?"

"I call you here for two reasons," stated Wang Wei. "Firstly, I need to know whether the demon race will stay in the Myriad Emperor World or if you plan to leave to set up your own rule somewhere else."

"Do you want us to leave?" asked Ao Shen instead of answering.

"I don't care what choice you make, I just need to know which one it is so I can prepare beforehand."

Ao Shen frowned, wondering whether these words were a threat. By his deduction, Wang Wei had no need to do such a thing, but he could not help thinking of the worse. He observed for a few seconds but could not find any information from the latter's bland and calm expression.

"The Myriad Emperor World is as much our home as any humans," replied the Primal Darkness Dragon Emperor. "We have fought and contributed to this world despite how humans repay us every time. So, no, we do not plan to leave our home."

Ao Shen never thought of leaving; otherwise, he would have done so long ago. He considered this place as much his home as the human race despite all the misfortunes and mistreatments they've suffered. Additionally, Ao Shen's greatest wish is one day, his kind will become the protagonist of this world, so leaving was never an option.

"That's good to hear," nodded Wang Wei, who chose not to comment on the latter's passionate speech about the demon race's plight. Was the human race wrong? Of course. It has been so long since the Golden Ape Emperor's appearance, and to this day, many people still use that excuse to justify their cruelty toward the demon race.

After knowing that the Golden Ape Emperor was nothing but a pawn of the Human Emperor, the human race's actions were more than just cruel and excessive. Unfortunately, he was still a human and needed to see many things from this point of view. In the cultivation world where individual power is outrageous, and the importance of resources can determine a species's existence, things like peaceful co-existence between two different races - especially those of opposing cultures, views, and diets - are nothing but a pipedream.

So far, his reign has achieved a great balance between the human and demon races. He never belittled them, raised them from the ground, treated them relatively fairly, or tried to oppress them. But this cannot be said for his successor.

"The second topic is I wonder if you'll be interested in being an Ambassador to the sealed Innate Lifeforms," asked Wang Wei.

"Them?"

"Yes. It should be about time that I released them, and I thought you might be the person to introduce them to the world and help them acclimate."

Ao Shen did not immediately give an answer. Although he was an Innate Demon, he never truly considered himself one of them. He was a bloodline miracle of the demon race, so he identified with them and considered them his kin. But that did not change the fact that his bloodline was no longer a demon.

'I need only consider the benefits, not the personal aspect of this move,' thought Ao Shen. 'It's impossible to convince these creatures to join the side of the demon race.'

He knew how arrogant his kind were just because they were born from Heaven and Earth. So, even if these new ones aren't as arrogant because of the era, some things are innate, and for the Innate Demons, arrogance was one of these traits.

'Being the Ambassador is an opportunity to form an alliance with the returned Innate Demons.' Whether the alliance was military or economic, the demon race would benefit.

"I accept the position," replied Ao Shen.

"That's good to hear," nodded Wang Wei. "I will lower the restrictions in their seal; they should regain their consciousness and mobility but still cannot leave their Small World."

He waved his hand to give him a talisman.

"This should allow you to enter their sealed area. However, I recommend you communicate with them through Divine Sense first and only enter after they give you permission."lights

Ao Shen nodded as he would do the same even without these words; he understood the need for respect of his kind, so he would never barge in, even if he could.

"Well, I know you should be busy after your transition, so I won't keep you."

Your majesty, I have something I would like to ask."

"Go ahead," replied Wang Wei.

"Will the Demon School continue to expand?"

"Yes, but you won't be the only one sharing the merit."

Ao Shen's brow furrowed. He had already tasted the sweetness of being in charge of this project, so it was not a good feeling knowing everybody would have a share now.

"I understand," replied Ao Shen while secretly sighing. The demon race needs a patent-worthy invention. Sadly, such a thing is rarer than how Eternal Emperors used to be. After borrowing, he left the throne room before disappearing from the court.

Above the sky in the Northern Continent, he looked at the moon as he sensed a tribulation similar to his.

'She already has the merit?' he thought before sneering as he guessed what she did to amass them so swiftly. After returning home, Ao Shen immediately began to work. Now that he had changed to the most supreme of all cultivation paths, it was time to bless his people truly.

The first step was modifying the spirit/Innate Qi Veins scattered throughout the Northern Continent. He fused his Dragon Aura into the veins, turning them into a unique Innate Dragon Vein that releases Innate Dragon Qi. As soon as he succeeded, all the demon races felt the difference.

Innate Qi was already very helpful or useful in helping them purify their bloodline. But now, with the added Dragon Aura, the Qi was specially designed for the growth and development of the demon race. From now on, the Northern Continent was truly their territory and theirs alone.

Ao Shen looked at his work and nodded in satisfaction. He then added the last finishing touch: protection. He did not want people to destroy his work after his departure, so he left his strength in these veins to protect them. Although he prepared a potent Race Protecting Array to protect the Northern Continent, Ao Shen wanted to be extra cautious.

Ao Shen teleported to a very well-hidden dimension of the demon race. He stared at a towering white gate with dragon designs. Without hesitation, he plunged his right hand into his chest to pull out his beating heart; his face paled, indicating this was a serious injury for someone of his kind. Ao Shen did not care as he swallowed a pill to stabilize his injury.

Under his control, the heart flew to the gate before fusing into it, turning it red while releasing intense lights. After a few seconds, the gate moved on its own as it flew exactly 99,999 kilometers in the air before opening its door to release water and forming what resembled a waterfall.

"A fish leaping the dragon gate to become a true dragon," muttered Ao Shen with a wide grin. This Dragon Gate is the ultimate foundation he will leave behind to the demon race.

Every generation, the most talented demons can come here to purify their blood by swimming up the water. The ones who successfully reach the gate will even have the opportunity to revert to Innate and become like him or elevate their bloodline to be on par with Innate Demon Gods. He had this idea after seeing the captured Wang Clan member. Although he only saw the kid briefly, he guessed some of the essence of his bloodline.

Ao Shen walked to the waterfall and tasted it.

"Still needs a lot of work," he commented. He used many resources, including many different bloodlines, to build this gate, but it was still incomplete. Firstly, he would love to get more Innate Demon God Bloodline to fuse with the gate, so that's another reason he accepted the Heavenly Emperor's proposal.contemporary romance

Secondly, he needs to further nourish the gate with bloodline, but that will have to wait until his body reaches a higher level in the True Power Dao Realm.

Lastly, he needs a very potent Thunder Resource to add to the gate. According to Ao Shen's vision, this artifact would also assist his kind in their tribulation. He knows how terrifying the tribulation is for changing the bloodline or any other type of tribulation, and this thing will be of great use.

Ao Shen left this place to participate in the festivities. He still had a few more things to accomplish before he could visit the Innate Demon Gods.
