1192 Final Preparations Before Retreating (I)
Once everyone processed what had just happened, Wang Wei decided to continue with his banquet. "Many of you are about to ascend, and if you had paid attention, you would know the current situation of the upper world is not peaceful." Most people nodded since they knew of this, but a few people were confused as they had never heard of such a thing.
Despite the different reactions, these cultivators wondered why the Emperor brought up this topic. However, a few people immediately guessed what he was about to do, and they were speechless.
"I'm a kind soul, so I've decided to sell some information about the current state of the upper dimension to help you acclimate." He snapped his finger to manifest a screen with writings.
[Basic Information: This information is only the most basic of the current situation of the upper dimension. Although basic, such information is still well-kept under wrap and will require a steep price to acquire. Prices=???] [Advance Edition: Deeper knowledge of the situation, including the interpersonal information of the factions involved; there are also some suggestions on the best way to act after ascending to ensure safety and survival. Price=????] [Ultimate Edition: This edition contains some world history to help you understand the conflict better. Don't underestimate this small change since the parties involved have destroyed and rewritten history. More importantly, this edition contains countless deductions and analyses on all parties involved. Warning: These deductions are not 100% accurate since Paragon Level Entities are involved, and my information source is also limited. Price=???] Everyone looked at this screen, baffled beyond words.
"Don't look at me like this," Wang Wei shrugged. "You saw how expensive this banquet was. I need to recuperate the cost somehow."
Yu Yan was mortified beyond words. She asked her husband through divine sense: "We raised him correctly, right? He never lacked anything, right? So, why?"
"We can't blame ourselves since that's probably something he picked up in his previous life," Wang Tian reassured her. "Plus, we should see it as good business acumen and learn from him."
"How on Earth could we learn from him?"
"How about I sell signed swords," Wang Tian replied after thinking for a few seconds.
"Who would buy that?"
"Many people - especially if I had a bit of my Sword Will and understanding into the signature."
Yu Yan looked at him. "I never knew you had this side of you."
"What can I say? Wei'er has rubbed off me quite well." They laughed before focusing on the present.
"One more thing," Wang Wei added. "For those people who think that they don't need this information since their lineage in the upper dimension will just clue them in. Well, you're in for a great shock. Most of these factions were forced to close their borders and sealed themselves. You'll be lucky if you can contact them - let alone them responding."
"What? Your majesty, you're not lying, are you?"
"We don't mean to question, but this is hard to believe."
"I understand how you feel," Wang Wei calmly said. "However, the current situation is not something that only recently developed. No, the situation has been this way for years. However, things recently exploded since a new era is about to open in the upper dimension."
These people squinted. The change of an era is usually accompanied by blood, violence, chaos, and war. A perfect example is the current Heavenly Emperor Era. The entire lower dimension was enveloped in war, and countless people died. Now, once the same thing happens in the upper dimension, these people cannot imagine the scale and terror - especially after having the sermon from Lord Chen Tong. Without a choice, they looked at the screen before them.
"Your majesty, why is the price thrice as high if we don't use merit to pay?" someone asked. Merit became more common in this era, so a market with clear values was created for the exchange, and the Dream World served as a platform and guarantee for the price and the process.
"What do you think?" Wang Wei replied back. This guy acted as if he did not know good business practices. Everyone was speechless. The grandeur and generosity of the banquet made these people forget that their Supreme Emperor was a shameless business at his core.
People sighed before buying the information. Most bought the basic tier since most immortals were not ascending; they only wanted to be informed of the situation since it might also affect their lineage. A few wise ones gritted their teeth to buy the advanced edition. Only people like Xu Shi and Ao Shen knew the importance of Wang Wei's deduction and bought the ultimate edition.
Then, a torrent of killing intent flashed in the room before disappearing. These people had just learned that a group of seven people was blocking their cultivation path. According to his news, they would be lucky to become Empyrean, but the Path of Paragon was cut off to them.
"Your majesty, this does not make sense. How can seven people control the upper dimension? How about our ancestors? Has no one become a Paragon?"
"Your cheap ass bought the most basic tier, so of course, you're not privy to the truth," Wang Wei replied. The person who asked the question turned red in embarrassment before gritting his teeth to buy the ultimate edition. Many people followed him and either bought the advance or the ultimate edition. However, they now had to pay for two tiers since it was written in bold that they had to pay full price because of their stupid decision.
"That's more like it," Wang Wei nodded, very satisfied as he looked that everyone had at least bought one-tier. He thought someone like Xi Shangyan would not be interested, but the latter did not hesitate to buy the ultimate edition. He waved his hand to collect his merit and the Emperor Materials from those who chose that payment method. "This is it for now," Wang Wei announced. "We will meet in the upper dimension. I hope you're alive by then. More importantly, I hope you're on the right side of history." These cultivators felt a chill down their sides as they immediately understood what side the Supreme Emperor was.
"Your majesty, is there a chance for us to work together again?"
"Huh? I thought you would be sick of me by now."
The female Emperor who asked this question chuckled. "Although his majesty is, well, quirky, you always follow the principle that everyone benefits. You never abused your power and left us with absolutely nothing, even though you always had the power. I think most people would trust you more than, I don't know, the Rebellion."
"I didn't know I was this good," Wang Wei's narcissism activated. He then looked at this woman, thinking how ambitious she was. "I can tell you honestly that I won't ascend until I reach the next realm, and that will take some time - time for many of you to change your mind. So, let's wait until I ascend to have this kind of conversation."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for entertaining me."
Wang Wei nodded. "Everyone can leave except for Sage Duan Ru and Xi Shangyan." The participants swiftly glanced at these two before rapidly departing. Today's event had too many consequences, and they needed time to digest and plan their future.
"Your majesty, thank you for everything," Sage Duan Ru bowed.
"No need since you deserve it," Wang Wei replied before getting into the topic. He isolated sounds from their conversation before asking: "You're planning to reincarnate and start cultivating?"
"That is correct."
"Have you thought of an alternate method of proving the Dao?"
"Are you talking about merit?"
"No. I mean to stay a mortal and continue understanding Mortal Arts and Crafts until you're on par with an Eternal Emperor."
"Is that possible?"
"You would need to reincarnate a few times, but once you succeed, Heavenly Dao will lower a Heaven Will for you, and you'll become a unique Emperor that has created a new path."
"I never thought of that," Duan Ru replied with shining eyes. "This path seems perfect for me." Duan Ru never believed mortals were inferior to cultivators, so he never used his success and power to acquire an Ark and cultivate in this generation. He wanted to have great accomplishments in this life as a mortal and start the next as a cultivator.
"Are you sure? This path won't be easy." Wang Wei was relieved he would not need to convince him, but he also wanted to remind him that this was not a simple feat to accomplish.
"I understand, and I'm willing."
"Good. I'll give you a blessing so that you're born with the memories of your past life and a curse so that you're always born as a mortal. We don't want to ruin everything due to temptation or someone forcing you to cultivate."
"I understand, and I'm thankful," Duan Ru bowed. Wang Wei released a black-and-white light into his body. "Do you want to see your family before reincarnating?"
"No need." Duan Ru had expected he would not return home and had settled his affairs. Wang Wei nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a portal from Samsara manifested and swallowed Sage Duan Ru.
