Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1298  Civilization Chess

[Unedited Chapter]

Fusi returned home with a wide grin; he could not wait to share his new technique with everyone in the tribe. From now on, his fellow humans no longer have to worry about dying while hunting — they can now truly rule over this land.

Unfortunately for him, reality slapped him in the face. Sheng vehemently disagreed with popularizing this method to everyone in the race. He used his golden tongue to explain to Fusi all the disadvantages of everyone having such power. Moreover, the other elders agreed with him, so Fusi had to shelve his idea.

Finally, the Human Elder Council agreed that this method would only be shared with a few members of each tribe, and there would be strict rules on whom to pass it on. So, from now on, a new social class of [Warrior] with high status appeared in the human race.

Although Fusi was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the human race did not belong to him alone. So, he chose to redirect his frustration to this new method. He wanted to perfect it and maybe even find a way to acquire even more strength.

Xun Junyao calmly looked at the changes in the human race. 'So, he chose the Martial Art Path? That makes sense, given how universal this system is.' Martial Art is a renowned system power system of the human race throughout all Heavens Myriad World. In many Chaos Worlds, the human race's rise to power starts with Martial Arts. They imitate beasts and the powerful creatures around them to eliminate their innate weakness.

Xun Junyao focused on her race. For her turn, she changed the world's flora, giving birth to countless spiritual ores and herbs with different effects. Amongst these new creations is the Transformation Lotus flower, whose purpose is to accelerate the birth of Innate Creatures.

Wang Wei was not surprised by this move. This is the regular operation of Civilization Chess when people choose powerful races from the beginning. Xun Junyao's move was decent since she was preparing for the birth of her races instead of forcing them to be born early. He focused on his humans.

The human race is currently the most powerful in the Chaos Universe, but why is that? Could it be because they are a race born with the highest understanding of all races? That's only a part of it. Another primary reason is the human spirit. Humans always believe they can conquer nature, so no matter the situation, humans will fight and rise to the occasion. They will sublimate themselves during moments of despair, allowing their races to overcome all kinds of catastrophes and obstacles.

Wang Wei already has a path to guarantee the rise of the human race, so why would he not use it? In this chess world, one of the many animals he previously created suddenly became enlightened and gained wisdom. It absorbed the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to increase its strength rapidly.

The creature, previously a regular tiger, was now a demon. The tiger called itself the Demon Race and started to gather other animals, awaken their wisdom, and conquer them. Suddenly, the human race had another competitor in this world.

'Using blood and war to train the human race? This approach is cruel but effective,' Xun Junyao thought. For a brief moment, she considered sending Pan to the human race area to eliminate them. However, Xun Junyao knew this was an unwise move since, with Pan's current strength, it would take him more than 10,000 years to reach his destination. By then, who knows how powerful the human race will be?

Instead, Xun Junyao influenced Pan to leave his birth area and explore this new world. She activated his luck, and as expected, the first Fiendgod discovered countless rare spiritual herbs, especially the Transformation Lotus.

Meanwhile, the human race continued to develop. Fusi continued to build his training method, giving birth to warriors with divine abilities like controlling flames or flying in the sky. However, internal problems manifested in the human race due to the lack of an enemy. The primary cause is the inequality between warriors and ordinary people, especially the strict control of training methods.

Sheng started a plan of separation, expansion, and merit to deal with the situation. The Warriors became nobles of the human race and lived in the inner area. Regular people lived in the middle, while pioneers lived in the outer region. Pioneers' job was to explore areas outside the human race's domain and create new tribes. The pioneers were given basic training methods, and if they had sufficient accomplishments, they could gain access to real training methods and become nobles.

Xun Junyao looked at the human situation. She could tell with a glance the flaw of this pioneer system. It can take a few generations of development before a pioneer has enough achievements to receive the training method and become a noble. Most pioneers did not live long to see that day, so they relied on their descendants to fulfill their wishes.

Normally, such a flawed system could be exploited. She only needs to influence someone in the human race to rise and cause internal problems. However, she saw that Wang Wei was already prepared to fix this flaw. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'He is methodical and thinks hundreds of steps ahead,' Xun Junyao analyzed. 'The moment I chose Fiendgod as my starting race, he had a plan to maximize the rules and restrictions placed on me. I should have taken this game more seriously.' She understood that her chances of winning were not looking good with how the human race was developing. However, she would not give up so easily. After all, the game had just started. Although she was having a bad start, it didn't mean it was over. Instead, Xun Junyao influenced Pan to leave his birth area and explore this new world. She activated his luck, and as expected, the first Fiendgod discovered countless rare spiritual herbs, especially the Transformation Lotus.

Pan returned to his birthplace and started to help his fellow Fiendgods transform and appear in the world. Meanwhile, with the expansion, the human race finally reached the Demon Race Area. As expected, a massive war immediately started between these two races.

The human race was immediately overwhelmed by the horde of demons rushing into their territories. The situation escalated further when the demon race realized that eating humans could increase their souls and intelligence. In less than a month, the demon race slaughtered or captured most of the territories created by the pioneers.

The nobles in the central area gathered to discuss this war, and they soon realized the horror they were about to face. The demon race had much superiority over them. First, there is the advantage of population. There are too many animals compared to humans, and most animals will come to adulthood in a few months to a few years, while humans have to wait 15 to 18 years.

Secondly, the demon race had its own racial advantages. They were not as intelligent or wise as humans, making their comprehension lower. However, they had a powerful body—especially after being nourished by Spiritual Qi—and they were more sensitive to energy than humans, meaning it was easier for them to get started in the path of cultivation.

The third and most important advantage of the demon race was their Emperor's generosity. The Demon Emperor did not have as much of a reservation about spreading his [Qi Absorbing Method] to his kind. Although he kept a backhand to ensure his supremacy, he was still way more generous than the human race, resulting in a situation where the number of demons outmatched human warriors by a considerable amount.

Such a revelation almost resulted in the clash of the human race's two titans: Sheng and Fusi. The latter was furious that the former stopped him from making the training more widespread hundreds of years ago. Otherwise, the human race would not be in such a precarious situation.

Sheng knew he did nothing wrong. If that method were not adequately controlled, the human race would be in a state where countless tribes fought with each other after everybody acquired such powerful strength. However, he knew this was not the time for an internal fight, so he admitted his fault and asked Fusi to focus on the current situation.

The two then agreed that a great change was needed to survive this catastrophe. Firstly, the training method would become available to every pioneer while they chose people with excellent talent to cultivate in the middle area. Such a tactic can be considered recompensation for the pioneers while also motivating people in the middle area to become pioneers and participate in the war.

The second change they decided on was to mobilize 90% of the nobles and move them to the frontier to stop the demon race's advancements.

Unfortunately for these two, their decisions received immediate resistance. The nobles were fine with spreading the training method to the pioneers since they needed people to fight this war, but they insisted that the best training methods should be kept for themselves. They also disagreed with training anyone from the middle area. If these people wanted power, they could only go to the frontier.

As for their mobilization to participate in this war? They refused. They were nobles, and not just because of their strength. Many were Innate Humans or descendants of them, so how could they put themselves in danger? After living such a long life of pleasure and luxury, these people were not warriors but people with strength.

The situation was tense, and the human race was about to collapse internally. However, something happened that none of these nobles anticipated. The two titans became ruthless and slaughtered anyone who resisted the two orders. It did not matter who it was, even their fellow Innate Humans; they killed anyone who resisted.

Fusi was, without a doubt, the strongest warrior of the human race. Meanwhile, Sheng was in the top 10 in terms of strength and held the most political power. With these two working together, the nobles had no choice but to obey and head for the frontier.
