Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After taking away the inheritance, Wu Hong's mission in coming to this world has ended. Now that she was free, she wanted to investigate the origin of the diluted Immortal Qi.

So, after leaving the secret realm, she began her investigation. Not wanting to waste time, Wu Hong decided to be direct; her gaze penetrated time and space, went beyond the laws and rules that governed this world to see the core.

Then, she saw a fog floating in a large space. Unlike the Nine Devil God World, this fog did not have any runes surrounding it. However, there was a blue floating orb in the middle that seemed to be spitting out energy.

Wu Hong sealed all her aura and breath, then she entered the core of the world where the consciousness of Heavenly Dao existed in the form of the fog.

As soon as she arrived, she did not waste time and started to investigate the blue orb.

'Immortal Source?' thought Wu Hong with a little surprise. This kind of thing is used by Immortal Venerables, Immortal Sovereigns, and Immortal Kings to absorb Immortal Qi and cultivate. It should now exist in the lower dimension.

After examining it, she realized that the existence of this Immortal Source was most likely artificial; someone probably placed it here to produce the diluted Immortal Qi and change this world.

'If Wang Wei gets this Immortal Source, he can do a lot of things. At the very least, it will be easier for him to create a large number of Immortal Venerables.

'In the future, no matter what, once he proves the Dao, this world has to be in the list of ones to be conquered.'

Wu Hong did not care about the future Immortal Emperor that will be born in this world. To her, this person can only be the stepping stone of Wang Wei.

After making a decision, she decided to leave before Heavenly Dao became aware of her existence and exile her. As for the Immortal Source, that's Wang Wei's problem.

After leaving the World Core, she did not immediately leave but instead went on a tour down memory lane. She visited many places in her memories related to Wang Wei.

In her eyes, she could see a young man with red hair that slowly rose through power. His eyes were cold and indifferent. And deep inside, one could see a profound sadness and loneliness.

To quickly gain power, the man had no bottom line; he kill and exploited anyone useful to him. And when he reached the summit of this world, when he proclaimed himself Emperor and received the worship of myriad races and worlds, there was no happiness on his face.

Only pain, grief, and a bottomless desire for revenge.

Wu Hong floated in the void as she looked at the Pursuing Longevity World, thinking about Wang Wei's life in the alternate timeline.

After becoming an Eternal Emperor, Wang Wei wanted to revive his dead family along with the sect disciples. Unfortunately for him, Di Tian was truly ruthless and completely annihilated their souls, so, Wang Wei could not take their souls back from reincarnation and reconstruct a body for them.

In the true sense, they were completely dead.

After that, he only had two goals in life: one, kill Di Tian and everyone that he loved. Second, become an Empyrean because he learned in that realm, cultivators could create life.

So, he ascended to the Eternal Ascension World in pursue of his goals. However, he soon learned that Di Tian had already become an Empyrean by then, and if he wanted to catch up to him, a lot of time was required.

After all, cultivating in the Emperor Realm requires a long time which is often calculated in Yuan Epochs time. 1 Yuan Epoch is equal to 1.269 trillion years.

Not wanting to waste this much time, he used the same method in the Pursuing Longevity World, he slaughtered many sects and families to plunder resources to increase his cultivation speed.

The result of this was that he garnered too many enemies making his life always on the run and escaping with sheer luck. Speaking of luck, right after he ascended, he met Empress Wu and got stuck in a secret realm.

After getting to know her and helping her out by using some ideas from his life on Earth, they became friends; she was the only friend he left in the world.

Many times, the reason that Wang Wei survived from being hunted down was that Empress Wu intervened and protected her. During those time he developed some emotional affection for her, but he did not dare to pursue it.

For once, his mind was only full of revenge and bringing his family back to life. Second, Wang Wei believed that he was cursed and if he became Dao Companion with her, she would eventually be implicated leading to her death. So, he always kept some distance from her.

Then, with his reckless actions, he managed to become an Empyrean in a relatively short time. Then, he fought with Di Tian a second time. At that time, Wang Wei had already acquired the 11th revolution in the [Fiendgod Body 12 Revolution], so he was victorious in the battle.

He captured Di Tian and made him experience all the terrible things that his mind could think of; he even went as far as using some of the filthy things he once read on the internet.

After venting his anger, he killed Di Tian. Unfortunately, this act did not bring him any peace; it could not fill the deep and empty hole inside his heart.

So, he used his power as an Empyrean to recreate his family and sects. Everything looked exactly the same; their bodies, bloodlines, souls, memories, and experience.

Unfortunately, Wang Wei knew that they were not the real thing–they just looked like it.

This fact almost drove him to madness. At that moment, Wang Wei realized that his life was nothing but a joke, and fate was playing with him. At the lowest point of his life, when he was about to give up everything and join his family in the beyond, it was the Empress who talked him out of it.

She prevented his Dao Heart from shattering and giving up on himself. This was a defining moment in his life as he finally determined his path forward: he wanted to change the ultimate fate of his family and sect.

So, Wang Wei became obsessed with the Dao of Fate; he abandoned his original Dao and started cultivating the Dao of Fate. He wanted to become a Paragon with that Dao.

Unfortunately, with the political situation of the Eternal Ascension World at that time, becoming a Paragon was not an easy thing. On top of that, he had made too many enemies.

So, he entered Chaos to find opportunities. After suffering countless tribulations, he got his wish and became a Paragon with the Dao of Fate. After returning home, he discovered that the Empress's situation was not good as many people wanted to kill her.

That day, he slaughtered more than 5 Paragons, countless Dao Monarchs, and Immortal Kings to save her. Then, he finally achieved his long last wish: reverse the fate of what happened that day.

The day that he lost everything.

With his family and loved ones back, the wait on his shoulder was finally lifted. He then proceeded to propose to the Empress–whose words were: "Took you long enough."

One would think that this was the end of the story and that those two would live happily ever after? Unfortunately, things were not that simple. Wang Wei owed some other people some debt that created many conflicts with his relationship with the Empress.

Once Wu Hong's thoughts reached there, her face suddenly changed. If Wang Wei was here, he would be quite surprised as the look on his Dao Companion's face was something he had never witnessed before: jealousy.

Wu Hong gritted her teeth as the face of a beautiful woman appeared in her mind.

"Damn you, Xu Junyao."

She took a deep breath to quickly calm herself down.

"Anyway, this timeline is different. I doubt Wang Wei will ever meet her. And even if he did, without all the emotional debts he owed her, it will be useless."

She paused for a moment, then giggled to herself.

"What am I worry for? This version of him is even more ruthless than the other timeline. Even if he owed her any emotional debts, he will not care–especially if her actions will be detrimental to our relationship."

After saying that, Wu Hong no longer cared about this issue. She waved her hand and a Void Boat appeared. She controlled it to break the space, heading in some direction in the Endless Void.

Happy New Year and hope that this one is better than the last. May God, Buddha, the Dao, or the Universe bless all of you and your future endeavors.
