Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

```

"If you can take care of the Supreme Taoist, he's right before your eyes, I can also give you thirty percent of the profits."

"Enough, if I can pay thirty percent to settle this scourge, then it's worth it."

"Hiding the output of a large number of ore veins and spirit plants is difficult, but those cherished spirit plants, heavenly materials and earthly treasures are scarce. As long as you don't leak any information, who will know your exact gains? Isn't it up to you to decide how much you reveal?"

"Now, thirty percent is only temporary. When heaven and earth recover further and can accommodate the appearance of our ancestors, the ones who will come here are the Taoist Doyens and even immortals from our sect."

"Even if the Supreme Taoist is strong, he can't possibly stand against so many Taoist Doyens and immortals on his own. Isn't it up to us to decide how much we will share then?"

...

Shen Yuan's strength had evoked a sense of urgency among the various parties, and after brief exchanges, they all chose to concede thirty percent of the benefits to keep the peace.

Suppressing his anger, the Yellow River Dragon Palace True Monarch bowed deeply and said:

"Since it's settled, we agree on thirty percent of the benefits. I hope that the Taoist will honor the agreement."

Only at this moment did Shen Yuan look at the people present with a strange expression.

"Did I agree to your terms?"

As soon as these words came out, all the True Monarchs present were taken aback, even Xia Yunqiu, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Superintendent, showed a look of surprise on his face.

Maintaining the nominal support of the provinces for the Great Xia Dynasty was already a pleasant surprise, not to mention thirty percent of the resource benefits.

Even in the eyes of this monarch and his official, this was the limit of what the various forces could offer.

"What does the Taoist mean by this?"

Ziyang True Monarch was also unable to remain diplomatic and directly questioned Shen Yuan:

"Without any contribution, to receive thirty percent of the resources for nothing, isn't that enough to satisfy the Taoist?"

Shen Yuan slowly shook his head.

"You only have one choice, which is to hand over the territorial rights of the provinces."

Indeed, if Shen Yuan was only looking to uphold the Great Xia Dynasty, the condition put forth by Ziyang True Monarch was already quite generous.

After all, his connection to the Great Xia Dynasty was at best a bit of sentimental attachment; he had no particular ambition regarding the dynasty, and therefore there was no need to push the various powers to a dead end and create trouble.

But at this moment, Shen Yuan had another purpose.

After the Great Yin Imperial City fell into the hands of the Dusk Realm cultivators and the Great Yin's Mortal Emperor became a puppet, Shen Yuan had been seeking a way to break the deadlock.

However, the power of an individual was too weak against a Peak Stage Human Emperor Dynasty; even if Shen Yuan became an immortal on the spot, it would be hard to confront it.

So Shen Yuan thought of a crucial point, which was the great tide of humanity's fate.

The Mortal Emperor of Great Yin was the legitimate heir recognized by all of heaven, possessing legal righteousness and naturally holding the tide of humanity's destiny.

Furthermore, since Great Yin was once a Peak Stage Human Emperor Dynasty, the will of the Mortal Emperor could even influence the destiny of humanity in other realms; even a Golden Immortal descending to the world would find it difficult to stand against it.

But the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin from ten thousand years ago was only at the Tao Harmony Stage, and as soon as Shen Yuan entered the Imperial Capital, he discovered that the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin seemed to be facing certain issues, unable to wield all of humanity's destiny.

This situation worsened when the Dusk Realm cultivators used the ancient bronze cauldron to control the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin; the tide of humanity's destiny dissipated with the passage of time, and every decree issued, every action taken, caused turmoil in humanity's destiny.

In such circumstances, the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin would inevitably weaken.

Normally, even if the Mortal Emperor of Great Yin weakened significantly, as long as he was not completely abandoned by humanity's destiny, he could control the situation.

But Shen Yuan's existence brought another possibility.

As the controller of humanity's destiny outside of Great Yin's Mortal Emperor, once the Mortal Emperor's control over humanity's destiny fell to a certain level, Shen Yuan could rise up and seize control of humanity's fortune.

At that time, the Mortal Path Array would become an advantage for Shen Yuan, effortlessly suppressing the schemes of the Dusk Realm.

That being said, waiting for the Mortal Emperor's tide of humanity's destiny to weaken to Shen Yuan's level was filled with too much uncertainty.

Shen Yuan couldn't know how long it would take for the Mortal Emperor to weaken.

```

Compared to relying on luck, Shen Yuan had more faith in his own abilities, so he initially set two plans in motion.

The first plan was to actively encourage Great Yin's Mortal Emperor to take more actions. The more the Mortal Emperor acted, the faster his own weakening would become, allowing Shen Yuan the possibility of a desperate counterattack at the right moment.

The second plan was to enhance the strength of the human-path fate he carried. Since Shen Yuan's humanity fate was at a disadvantage, it was necessary to increase its power to narrow the gap with Great Yin's Mortal Emperor.

The source of Shen Yuan's human-path fate came from his Artificial Intelligence System's rewards, but its origin was still due to Shen Yuan's crushing of the Dusk Realm's conspiracies and propelling Xia Yunqiu to the position of Female Emperor, thus becoming her Imperial Preceptor.

His human-path fate had long been tightly bound with the Great Xia Dynasty and Xia Yunqiu.

The weaker the Great Xia Dynasty became, the weaker Shen Yuan's human-path fate would naturally become as well.

However, if the Great Xia Dynasty rose from this point, the human-path fate that Shen Yuan carried would naturally grow stronger.

It was precisely in order to seize control of the human-path fate that, after annihilating the Qilian Demon Realm, Shen Yuan had rushed directly to Jing Province of Great Xia without halting.

With the power of various provinces in Great Xia currently scattered, in order to increase the human-path fate, it was imperative to consolidate power and even actively expand it externally.

This forcing of the palace by all the major sects was an excellent opportunity for Shen Yuan. Naturally, he would not miss the chance to reclaim the authority of the provinces.

For Shen Yuan, let alone a thirty percent stake, even a full stake was not as important as reclaiming the provincial power.

Ziyang True Monarch's face was extremely unpleasant, and the same went for the other major powers. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"Even if individual strength is strong, there are limits after all.

Does the Supreme Taoist really think that just by being strong, one can contend with the entire Great Xia cultivation world?"

"Everyone attack together! It's just about killing a Unity Realm Stage Demon Saint; the combined force of the twenty-six of us Void Refining True Monarchs here, can also suppress the Demon Saint."

"The Supreme Taoist will pay the price for your arrogance!"

As these words fell, the eyes of the Void Refining True Monarchs released their fear, as their powerful Divine Skills manifested at that moment, their presence stirring the void as if gods had descended.

In the skies over Jing Province of Great Xia, Xia Yunqiu gestured to activate the damaged Mortal Path Array, and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Superintendent also revealed a manifestation holding a compass, with an atmosphere tense as if a battle could erupt at any moment.

"You have once again made a mistake."

Shen Yuan's calm voice rang out again.

With a light flick of his right sleeve, the twenty-six Void Refining True Monarchs all felt the powerful fluctuations of space envelop them, and in a moment of shifting time and space, they found themselves in a strange world.

This world was vast beyond compare, such that even with the strength of the many Void Refining True Monarchs present, one could not see its boundaries at a glance.

The land contained both sun and moon running parallel, seasons changed in turns, and the order of time and space stabilized the foundation of heaven and earth—it was undoubtedly a complete Tiny Diverse World.

"Where is this?"

A Void Refining True Monarch voiced his shock and anger, but before they could understand the mysteries of this Tiny Diverse World, in the next moment, a thunderous sound spread throughout this realm.

Above the boundless firmament, a huge face appeared; upon inspection, it was undoubtedly Shen Yuan, and his authoritative voice echoed throughout the universe.

"I do not need to be strong enough to confront the entire cultivation world."

Amidst these words, a Sky-Obscuring Giant Hand slowly rose, and time and space seemed to freeze in that instant, as all the True Monarchs seemed to see a magnificent hand hanging above the river of history, obscuring everything.

Within the Square Inch World, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire moved in unison; the sky began to collapse, the ground began to cave in, as if the world sought to return to a state of Turmoil.

Many True Monarchs were shocked and furious, but at this moment, there was no room for hesitation. Sect-suppression Taoist Devices, thousand-foot manifestations, Wondrous Tao Divine Powers, and various last-ditch external methods bloomed with infinite radiance, endeavoring to tear apart the Sky-Obscuring Giant Hand.

Void Refining True Monarchs inherently transcended the limits of a Tiny Diverse World; the realm quivered under the combined force of the twenty-six Void Refining True Monarchs, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Just as the Divine Skills were about to clash, the Sky-Obscuring Giant Hand seemed to have grasped a hint of Spirit Machine from infinite Turmoil, and a ray of light that could split heaven and open earth descended from the Turmoil.

In an instant, whether it was the Sect-suppression Taoist Devices or the thousand-foot manifestations, all crumbled under that heaven-opening light.

All Divine Skills and methods shattered!

"I merely need, to suppress you all. That will suffice."
