"So, what's next?" asked Dong Lifen. "Do you want me to leave with you now?"
"Depends. What's your plan for Great Xia?"
Dong Lifen pondered for a moment,
"According to my original idea, the next step was to fuse with the dynasty."
According to the Fortune Dynasty Path she created, once the ruler reached the minimum standard of borrowing the strength of the Grand Dao Source with their Qi Luck, the next step was to permanently fuse with the dynasty, becoming something akin to a Dao
Ancestor's Inner World.
"You have reservations about this path?" asked Wang Wei.
"Yes. It's fine if others do it, but the dynasty will become a major weakness to me,"explained Dong Lifer. Her path has its advantages compared to Dao Ancestors, the main one is the base strength of people in her path will be stronger than Dao Ancestors because of the blessing of Qi Luck Dragon.
Additionally, with a vast enough dynasty and prosperous luck, it's easier for the people in her path to become Insurgent.
However, there is also a major downsideâthe dynasty.
If a Dao Ancestor's Inner World is destroyed, their strength will be decreased drastically, but they can also rebuild it.
However, it's different for a dynasty. After losing so many civilians, the dynasty's Qi Luck will be extinguished, and it's virtually impossible to return to the peak.
In other words, the people who walked her path would be severely restricted by their dynasty. If they lose it, they will also lose their strength and maybe immortality.
Wang Wei understood her hesitation,
"Losing the dynasty would indeed be a major blow. Although the people in your path won't lose their immortality, they probably won't be able to regain their strength after a very long time. Their only choice might be to change to the Dao Ancestor Path."
"That's what I'm worried about," nodded Dong Lifen. If she loses access to Great Xia, she is still powerful because of her fleshy body and because she has been exposed to the Grand Dao Source. However, the people who followed her path won't be so luckyâunless they follow her example and temper their bodies to a high enough level.
However, there is a reason why few people can accomplish great things in the Body Refining Path.
Additionally, she has special authority as the founder of this path. True Heavenly Dao won't have a problem if she changes to the Emperor Path. However, it's not the same for others.
Just like Immortal Venerables and Dao Ancestors cannot participate in the Heaven Will and become a Great Emperor.
"My suggestion for you is to fuse the dynasty with your soul," said Wang Wei.
"Oh, why?"
"The process can turn all citizens into Spiritual Lifeforms bonded to your soul.
After you prove the Dao and become eternal, your soul will also become eternal."
Dong Lifen's eyes lit up as she understood the benefit of such a method. As long as she is alive, these people will also be alive, achieving another form of immortality.
Even if her soul were destroyed, as long as she healed or revived herself, these dead people of the dynasty would also return.
"There are even more benefits to this path," continued Wang Wei. "With an entire dynasty in your soul, you might achieve 7 to 8% Grand Dao Boosts after proving the Dao. If you add the boost of Qi Luck, that's another 2 to 3%."
Wang Wei knew this was not the limit since Qi Luck's boost could continue to increase.
"You can walk a unique path of a Spiritual Fortune Dynasty," he continued. His eyes became excited. "You can convince other Immortal Venerables, Dao Ancestors, and other paths to fuse with your Spiritual Dynasty, granting them pseudo-eternal characteristics."
Dong Lifen squinted her eyes as she understood the implications of these words. There is a great divide between the Emperor Path and all other ways of immortality, and that disunity is the eternal characteristic.
Great Emperors and Eternals have too many ways to escape death. Meanwhile, no matter how powerful an Immortal
Sovereign or Dao Ancestor, they will die after being killed once.
However, now, they can achieve the same eternal characteristics as long as they fuse with her. Although their new 'immortality' is based on Dong Lifen's survival, many people will be tempted by the offerâespecially if she can become a Boundless Paragon, which is almost impossible to kill.
"This idea is excellent," she uttered. "The higher the cultivation, the more afraid of death most people are. If they can find a way to save their lives, many people will agree."
Her eyes shone brilliantly. "I can even recruit other people by making contracts.
They will fuse with me, and I can use their strength, but they won't be under my control. In return, they will acquire the eternal characteristics they desire.
"These contracts can even be limited to a certain number of years."
Wang Wei secretly praised her as he had the same thought. "Of course, all of this lies in your inability to die easily. So, you must become an Eternal Emperor, followed by Everlasting Empyrean and Boundless Paragon.
"Lastly, if you have a lineage like the Dao Opening Sect as your backer, people will be more confident in your survival ability."
Dong Lifen nodded.
'It's indeed a good choice to join the Dao Opening Sect.' Although she had let go of her obsession with Great Xia, she felt a pain thinking about completely abandoning it. However, with this method, the dynasty can continue accompanying her journey of the Dao.
"So, the way forward for my Heavenly King Way is to fuse with the soul and Sea of Consciousness. The citizens will become Spirit Lifeforms bound to the ruler's soul.
Although Heavenly Kings won't have eternal characteristics, they can revive their dead citizens as long as they survive and their souls heal from any damage."
"Heavenly King? Is that the name you chose?"
"Yes, is something wrong?"
"No, I just thought all these paths with different but similar names were too confusing."
Wang Wei just thought how a normal mortal would try to keep all these names and paths in their minds. There are Heavenly Primarchs, which is Tier 12, now, there is the Heavenly King, the Tier 10 of another system; not to mention Immortal Kings, the Tier 12 of another system.
If you add the Soul Path he is going to create, there are too many names with synonyms of the words [King], [Ruler], or [Emperor].
Dong Lifen glanced at him but did not say anything, so Wang Wei changed the subject: "How much time do you need to finish everything here?"
Dong Lifen took a moment, "I will announce the fusion and give people the choice to fuse or leave. I will leave a few Void Boats for the ordinary people who do not want to refuse, taking them to another world.
"The entire process should take a month."
"That's not long," nodded Wang Wei; he could wait for such a short period.
"I remember you once mentioned a destined woman for you," Dong Lifen suddenly said. "Did you find her?"
"I did," said Wang Wei with the most brilliant smile ever.
"She must be a wonderful woman."
"That she is."
"Well, I can't wait to meet her."
"In that case, you will be disappointed," said Wang Wei with a smile. After seeing her confused look, he explained, "Things are complicated, so she's not here now."
"I see," she nodded, dedicated not to pry further.
"What about you? Anyone special?"
"Yes, my husband," replied Dong Lifen with a gentle smile.
"Oh." Wang Wei was slightly surprised as he only asked randomly; he did not sense anyone in the palace who had dragon
destiny, so she thought she did not have a king.
"Who is the lucky man?"
"A scholar with the purest heart I've ever met," replied Dong Lifen, a brilliant smile hanging on the side of her mouth. "He reminded me of the young me before you arrived."
She remembered when they met. One day, she went on one of her strolls to tour the dynasty and check the people's lives. Then, she met a young scholar who was famous in the town and was serving as the Town
Chief. The people loved him because of his benevolent rule, but the merchants and aristocrats around saw him as a stupid man and took advantage of his kind nature.
Dong Lifen was intrigued and wanted to meet a scholar; she wondered how a civil servant of the dynasty could be so stupid.
She checked on him and realized the latter was not stupid but too kind; he knew these people took advantage of him, but he did not care.
Dong Lifen reprimanded him and told him to be tough when needed. She left after the tour, but a few months later, she could not help but want to check on the scholar. She discovered he remained the same despite her warning.
So, she began to check on him regularly.
Ultimately, they got to know each other and fell in love.
"He sounds like a great guy. I would love to meet him."
Dong Lifen's eyes dimmed a little, "He's dead."
The hardest day in her life was the failure to conquer the Black Ocean World, and not because she almost died. One of the reasons she survived that palm was because of her husband.
The man had the purest soul she had ever met, so when he sacrificed it to protect her, he managed to block the palm and buy enough time for her to mobilize the dynasty's luck; he also left great protection in her body, granting her great vitality for healing.
"Do you want me to revive him for you?" asked Wang Wei.
"He's already reincarnated, I'm just waiting," she said.
Wang Wei looked at her, "Feeling guilty?"
"A little," she replied with a sigh. "My ambitions got him killed, and even afterward, I did not stop. I'm a little scared to meet him again."
"If he is as king as you said, I" 'm sure he'll forgive you."
"I know he will, but I'm not ready to forgive myself."
"I cannot help you with such a thing as self-forgiveness," commented Wang Wei.
"My advice to you is to see him and tell him the truth; maybe he can help you work through it."
"Maybe...you're right."
