nWang Wei teleported to a special place. Meanwhile, a great event with worldwide repercussions occurred. The Shadow Guards began assassinating people from every continent, every Domain, and every faction and race–including the Sea Race.

nEven the hidden powers that have not shown up in the Myriad Emperor World were affected, alarming all the Emperor Lineages.

nAnd the target of the Fate Shadow Guards was no one else but Di Tian’s Sleepers. Wang Wei was careful this around and planned for many years before acting. And with the help of the Oracle Mirror and his recent increase in strength and abilities, he knew the position of most of them.

nSo, he attacked them simultaneously, not giving them or the faction they infiltrated a chance to respond.

nA few minutes later, Wang Wei appeared before Wang Ju with his clothes disheveled.

n“Young master, are you alright?”

n“I’m fine. I just killed a Dao Ancestor, ” he replied casually before giving her a token. “This token leads to a Small World where the Sleepers kept all their information. Take control of it and make a copy of everything for the sect.”

nDi Tian’s Sleepers have gathered so much impossible that it was mind-boggling. They have detailed records of every Heaven Chosen in each generation since the Ancient Emperor Era. They also have records of every noteworthy event that occurred since then.

nWhen Di Tian was reincarnating, they would not stop gathering information and keeping records in case their master wanted to know. The knowledge in the Small World was so vast that even Di Tian had not read all of them. After all, he would not care much about the life of someone who has long been dead by the time he successfully reincarnated.

nHowever, Wang Wei planned to read all of them. He knew he might be able to learn many things from these records. From a person’s life, he might learn a valuable lesson.

nFrom these records, he might learn some truth or secrets of this world that was beneficial to him in the present. Or, just reading the information, he might be inspired and come up with a great idea.

nIt’s a shame that he did not find any cultivation scripture from that Small World. However, he knew long before that Di Tian was careful and did not leave any records.

n“How did things go on your side?” Wang Wei asked.

n“Smoothly. As you ordered, we did not kill all the Sleepers. Instead, we stole the fate of those in high positions and used the assassination as a distraction to clean our tails.

n“As of now, Project Deep Infiltration is complete.”

n“Excellent,” said Wang Wei. With this move, he now controlled the Sleepers’ Information Agency. He had the same spying and assassination capabilities as him, not to mention he had planted so many spies inside these factions.

nWith this move, he should be able to get his hands on most of the Emperor Lineages’ scripture to learn from–just like Di Tian. Of course, he now had eyes everywhere in the Myriad Emperor World.

nWang Ju went to process everything on the Sleeper Information World while Wang Wei had other things to deal with. He ignored the fact he just slightly tilted the world to its side and went into seclusion.

nImmediately, he took out the Oracle Mirror and activated it. His main objective for the Curse of Hatred and attacking the Sleepers was the mirror.

nWith his action, he increased the Karma he had with Di Tian, and now, the mirror increased the information by another 10% for a total of 90%. He acquired new information regarding Di Tian, including some secrets of the Null Era.

nThen, he focused on a specific piece of information that caught his attention: Di Tian was trying to find a way to go past the Nine Extremity Foundation to reach the Tenth. And he found a way.

nRegrettably, the mirror did not disclose the method.

n‘I already suspected he was doing this, but now, I have confirmation,’ thought Wang Wei with a frown, thinking about how he could increase his Karma with the latter and find the answer.

nUnfortunately, he could not think of anything. He once tried to use the fact that Qiao Ning gave him the Perfect Foundation Method to increase his Karma with Di Tian, but he failed; she seemed immune to his Karma technique.

nHe knew she was the key to increasing the remaining 10%, but he did not want to get in more contact with that woman: she was too weird and dangerous.

nThe other option was Di Tian’s family. But based on previous divination, he did not have much affection or karmic connection with them. To Di Tian, his real parents were the ones who died before the Null Era. So, killing or doing anything to them would not increase his Karma much.

nWang Wei then borrowed the power of his incarnation to do another divination; he wanted to know if there was a way to increase karma with Di Tian.

n“Di Jia,” he muttered. She was the woman in charge of Di Tian’s information network from the Di Clan’s side. She was his Wang Ju and accompanied him everywhere in the same manner as Wang Ju.

nFrom the divination, he knew she loved him, but he did not care about her. However, compared to his affection and connection to his parents, she had a higher weight on his life.

n“By killing her, I can increase the mirror’s percentage by 1%.”

nWang Wei frowned; he did not know whether that one percent would tell him how Di Tian planned to break the Nine Extremity Foundation limit or another piece of information.

n‘I could try to modify the purpose of the mirror to give the information I need,’ thought Wang Wei before deciding to try it. So, he contacted Wang Ju and asked her to assassinate Di Jia.

nThen, he wanted to attempt something. He summoned his Destiny Law to modify the purpose of the Oracle Mirror. He wanted the mirror to give him 90% of Di Tian’s knowledge–which included all the techniques he knew and cultivated, every thought he had, and even his understanding of the Law–instead of simply providing him with information.

nIf he succeeded, he would now know the specific scriptures and techniques of Di Tian instead of just knowing the name and detailed analysis of what they were. He then would not have to recreate some of these techniques and instantly understand them.

nPluh!

nWang Wei vomited a mouthful of blood, and his complexion turned pale.

n“I guessed it’s still beyond my means to modify a Chaos Treasure.”

nHe closed his eyes after swallowing a few pills to recuperate from the backlash quickly.

nWestern Continent, Sealed Mountain:

nDi Tian looked at the runes that created his cage with fury. He could feel the disappearance of all the Sleepers. At first, he thought it was a normal swiping where some people’s identity was discovered; this has happened a few times throughout their existence, and they always managed to bounce back.

nBut he sensed the death of the Dao Ancestor Guardian in charge of the Headquarters, he knew the seriousness of the situation. He created the Headquarters with a unique treasure that could hide even from a Pseudo Eternal Emperor. And as long as the headquarter entered the Endless Void, even an Eternal Emperor cannot find it.

nFor security measures, he ensured that only two people could directly enter the headquarters: him and the guardian. However, he forbade the guardian from ever leaving that Small World, so he was the only person who knew its location and could physically enter.

nAll the other Sleepers had to use talismans or special magical talismans to relay information inside before the Guardian properly stored them.

nThe more Di Tian thought about it, the angrier he became. And it was not because he lost something that took him hundreds of millions of years to create but because many of these men had accompanied him since his first life. They were the remnants of his past life, his only real attachment in this foreign era.

nNow, they were all gone.

nFurthermore, the core of the Sleepers were these people’s descendants, and he just watched them die while helpless. He remembered his promise to give them a better life after he achieved his goal.

nDi Tian looked at his hand, feeling the anger and helplessness he was trying to suppress; it was the same feeling he had when he held Ning’er in his arm, watching her slowly die.

nHe hated this feeling of powerlessness; he thought after so many years after his strength reached such a level, he would never feel the same way. But today, he received a reminder: he was still that weak individual incapable of protecting the things he loved.

nNothing had changed.

n‘Wang Wei: you wait. You’ll pay for this.’

nDi Tian took a deep breath to control his emotions. He sensed someone coming to talk to him.

n“Young master, big news,” said Di Jia.

n“I know,” replied Di Tian before frowning. His eyes suddenly turned all black as he looked at Di Jia.

n‘Death’s Aumen? Is she going to die soon?’

nImmediately, he connected her death to the recent event.

n‘I don’t know if it is really Wang Wei who wants her dead, but better be safe than sorry.’

nDi Tian then asked to talk to his father before instructing the latter to place Di Jia in a secure location where only the Clan’s most loyal individual resides. Subsequently, he discussed the recent event before dealing with the current problem.

nMost of his Sleepers in the Myriad Emperor were now dead, essentially crumpling his spying agency. Although he still had the Di Clan’s network, it was not the same.

nSo, he contacted his clone to send some Sleepers from another World Community. Although they were a very small group compared to the previous one, it was more than enough to rebuild.

n‘I should have developed the Outer Sleepers more.’

nHe only created the Outer Sleepers to help him gather information and some rare resources from other World Communities. And to have a backup in case something went wrong in the Myriad Emperor World. As such, he never focused too much on developing them.

nHe now regretted his decision.
