Wang Wei watched everything in his surroundings. No longer existed the peaceful world full of tall and futuristic buildings. He could not see spaceships covering the sky like birds migrating. Instead, the sky had a dull gray color that gave the entire world a depressing atmosphere.

He saw cracks in space scattered in different directions. Most places were devastated, including forests, mountains, rivers, and populated cities. There were only a few areas that looked like civilizations had begun anew.

Genetics Warriors are now rare, and the few powerful ones on par with Void Shattering Realm ruled over different sections of the world. Scientists were now the most valued individuals as fought over by various factions.

However, they no longer had any power and were forced to focus only on research; they were basically under house arrest.

“Those attacks did a number on this world,” muttered Wang Wei. The original Science and Technology World was only a Middle Thousand World.  Although Wang Wei controlled the laws of Heaven and Earth and even expanded the world, at its essence, it was still a Middle Thousand World, making its spatial stability very fragile.

When these two Great Emperors attacked with full force, they destroyed the world, killing more than 99% of its population. And in the three hundred years Wang Wei was in retreat to cultivate, a new civilization sprouted out from the ashes of the old one.

After checking the situation, he began to repair things. Using his Space-Time Law and Fate Law, he returned the world to its original state–including reviving the dead. The only problem was he could not save everybody.

Many people died because of the Great Emperor’s attack. And since these people were mortals, that attack eradicated their [Existence], and current Wang Wei could not do anything about that. However, he could still revive the people who died as a result of the world’s destruction.

He did try to save some people. Wang Wei tried using his [Past, Present, Future Karma Technique] to save some people. He sent the news to one scientist in the past using a Karma Connection. He tasked the scientist to build a bonker for people’s safety. Without Heavenly Dao’s restrictions, he can use his powers to do many things.

Although the scientist could not convince many people the world was about to end, he did convince some. Unfortunately, this method failed as these people who died at the Great Emperors’ attack still died even if they “survived” in the bonkers.

As Wang Wei watched these specific individuals erased from existence, he muttered. “So, Great Emperors have some form of causal or temporal immunity to attacks, spells, and techniques below the Mortal Realm.”

By all logic, Wang Wei changed the past, and these people should have survived. But this was not the case. Helpless, he continued to return the world to its previous state. He returned society to its original order, but he had to deal with the lack of population.

He tried to clone the people he could not revive. And as expected, the Emperors’ power did not allow these people to revive themselves in this manner. Helpless, he had to result to create a large number of clones before modifying their faces.

Luckily, there would be no problem in a short time because of the advanced genetic technology of this world. Nevertheless, Wang Wei also passed laws to encourage birth growth. He even removed the memories of the catastrophe from most of the population to prevent mass hysteria, depression, and anxiety.

Finally, he left the blood samples for Saint, Supreme, and Quasi-Emperor for the scientist to continue their research.

After exiting the Science and Technology World, he was somewhat worried that Grand Dao would show up and waited for a few minutes before he could move. He sighed in relief while also wondering how powerful Hongjun was even to protect him from Grand Dao.

For the next few days, he waited for news from his Ancestors while spending as much time as possible with his lovely wife. A week later, he received a summon and teleported to one of the sect’s secret realms.

“You are?” he asked, looking at the middle-aged man before him. He had a peaceful aura that indicated he was a very stable person. Maybe too stable.

“Origin One. You can call me Sir Origin.” Wang Wei cupped his hand to salute, but Origin One stopped him. “You’re the sect master. You don’t need to salute any of us.” Wang Wei nodded, knowing this was one of the sect’s rules.

“Is everything already prepared? I thought it would take longer,” continued Wang Wei.

“During Gu Xuan’s trial, we already had a semi-official alliance. So, it was simpler to gather everyone.”

“That’s good.” He nodded. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure, but I might not answer.”

“I’ve heard about the others. Sword One, Desolate One, and so on. Do you all cultivate the same Dao as our Emperors?”

“Some of us do, but not all of us,” Sword One replied. “For example, I cultivate Thunder Dao. However, Qiyuan blessed me with many abilities from Origin Dao. And it’s the same for the others who cultivate different Daos.”

“That makes sense. So, it’s just a title.”

“You should understand that titles, or words in general, have power.”

“That’s true. Last question: The way you call the answer seems very intimate. Did you know him personally?”

“Very astute,” commented Origin One. He knew this kind was intelligent, but it was different when you interacted with him and noticed this trait. “I was one of his elders back in the Ancient Wang Clan. I supported and protected him when others scorned him for his ideas and beliefs.”

“I guess he would not be here today if not for you.”

“Maybe,” replied Origin One. “Alright, let’s begin the meeting.”

Wang Wei followed him to a room full of formations. After activating it, countless small screens appeared with people’s faces. When Wang Wei showed up, everyone paid attention to him despite everyone present being an Immortal Tier powerhouse or accompanied by one.

This was the political power of the sect master of the most powerful sect of the Myriad Emperor World and the Son of an Era Title.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist,” began Wang Wei calmly, not nervous despite facing representatives of most of the Emperor’s Lineages of the world from all five continents.

“What is the reason for this meeting?” asked the Panlong Race Patriarch, who had an Insurgent of his clan also accompanied. Typically, their Sea Race is left out of any conflict or interaction of the surface world.

“Do you know of the recent changes that occurred in the Lower Dimension?” asked Wang Wei, getting directly into the core of this meeting. Most of the Mortal Leaders did not know what he was talking about, but the Immortal Powerhouses were aware’ this is why Wang Wei insisted on them attending.

These powerhouses immediately filled in their sect masters or patriarchs of the situation resulting in small cluster chatters in this meeting. Wang Wei did not interrupt and gave these people enough time to think and process the information.

“What does this have to do with this meeting?” asked the representative of the Ancient Clan, Huo Ru–Huo Fenghuang’s father.

“By now, you are aware that many other Worlds see our rise as a threat,” added Wang Wei. “Without the interference of the upper dimension, many of these people will become more bold and direct in their actions.”

“If they want a Planar War, we are not afraid of them,” commented Jian Yi from the Sword Casting Villa.

“This is not the main issue. If these worlds allied together, they could disturb our Heaven Will Battle,” added the representative from the Five Element Palace.

“We should also consider the possibility of Immortal Sovereigns intervening,” proposed Di Tian’s father. Wang Wei nodded, as this was one of his main worries. He believed Heavenly Dao did not like the unstable factor of Immortal Sovereigns in the lower dimension.

So, it schemed for their downfall, drastically reducing the number present. However, there should still be a few remaining.

“Aren’t you guys worrying too much?” stated the Mo Clan Patriarch from the Western Continent. “Nothing has happened yet.”

Wang Wei glanced at him. He decided to keep the news of the Heaven Devour Emperor’s possible resurrection a secret since he had no proof besides his theory. Even if revealed, there is nothing to gain as of yet.

“Have you people forgotten the Forbidden Zones–especially the Dao Burial Ground?” said Wang Wei. “Without pressure and possible intervention from the upper dimension, who knows what these people will do.”

Indeed. The Forbidden Zones have become a liability for the Myriad Emperor World. In the current state of the world with no Immortal Sovereign, dealing with any Eternal Emperors is a recipe for disaster.

“What do you suggest we do?” asked Tan Zichen, the sect madam of the Eternal Dream Sect. “You must have some solution if you ask us here.”

“Yes,” replied Wang Wei. “My solution is simple: we need to activate the Human Protection Array. Not just it, but the Demon and Sea Race Protection Array.”
