Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1359 No More Lives

Chapter 1359  No More Lives

Everyone watched the battle in the sky for a few minutes before everything ended. All the vessels left, and they did not seem injured. The result was the golden hue celebrated Wang Wei's achievements, but it did not spread to every corner of the world. Additionally, he still received no merit for his accomplishment.

'I guess that's better than nothing,' Wang Wei sighed. Heavenly Dao has a long way to go to have a chance in this fight. Additionally, he was now a genuine threat or obstacle to Supreme Unity, so he should cherish his life even more.

"Everything is over," Wang Wei declared while exhaling. Yan Hai flew over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "You did a good job, kid." Yan Hai found this youngster was as reliable as her Brother Qiyuan.

"Thank you, ancestor."

Yan Hai nodded: "Alright, it's time for me to leave."

"Don't you want to look at the Void Illusion Realm?"

"I've seen it enough," she replied. All she cared about now was alleviating the effects of her injuries.

"Alright." Yan Hai disappeared, and Old Man Dai approached. "Do you remember our agreement?"

"I know. Next time, I won't contact or force you to participate."

"Remember your words," Old Man Dai said with indignance. The old man decided that he would change his hiding place. He did not trust that bastard Wang Wei to keep his word, so it was best to run away and hide from him. Wang Wei watched his departure. He guessed what the latter would do next and hesitated whether he should place something on him to track him. Ultimately, he decided otherwise.

Old Man Dai was not a fighter, and involving him in these battles was not necessarily good. He also had to consider that this coward had a teacher who may be a Primal Paragon. 'It's fine. I doubt I'll need him next time.'

He turned his focus to Mongke: "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine," the Barbarian King nodded. "I've learned much in this battle."

"You're lucky this battle awakened you from your arrogance; otherwise, Heaven and Earth would have sent you a humbling moment," Wang Wei said.

"Humbling Moment?"

"Look it up in your clan," Wang Wei replied.

"I will."

Wang Wei nodded: "Do you want to take a look?"

"No, I have many things to digest from this fight," Mongke refused. "Plus, I have some thoughts I need to organize."

"Alright. You can come to me if you need help."

Mongke disappeared, and Wang Wei focused on the hidden Emperor Kong. The latter only nodded to him before leaving. Meanwhile, Xun Junyao left without even saying a word. She did leave a polite message talisman. Wang Wei shook his head. The woman has drawn a clear line between them, and he was okay with that.

He looked at the colossal portal in the distance, preparing to accomplish his goal. But, out of nowhere, a green blade that contained the power of time pieced his body from the back. Wang Wei's Danger Intuition reacted at the last minute, but it was too late. The blade's power was overwhelming and wiped him out from with the power of time.

The assailant waited as he knew Wang Wei was not dead. As expected, the void tear apart, and someone Wang Wei appeared. "How many lives did I take?"

"Two," Wang Wei calmly replied. According to normal sense, he should have lost only one life. However, after breaking through the Battle Taboo Realm, his [Existence] was on par with Paragons, so the second-rank longevity resources and abilities he had were not as effective. So, after this death, he lost the only two lives he had left.

"That's about right," the assailant nodded. "And how many do you have left?"

Wang Wei did not respond. His anger had reached the pinnacle after dying and losing all his revival methods. More importantly, he was schemed against. However, he controlled himself. "How did you create projection from the seal?"

 Time Eater smiled at him. "You seem angry."

"Furious is more like it."

"That's understandable," Time Eater chuckled. "All Dao Overlords are arrogant by nature, and the thing that pisses them off the most is being outmatched in the field they are most proud of — wit and intelligence."

"I believe that is a flaw to anyone who considers themselves intelligent — not just Dao Lords and Overlords," Wang Wei replied.

"Maybe you're right," Time Eater replied casually. "So, what are you going to do with that fury?"

"What am I going to do? Well, at first, I only wanted to kill you, but I've changed my mind," Wang Wei said. "I'll turn you into a great Time Paragon Artifact. I'll use your Dao as the core, your body as the wax, and your soul as the flame. Hmm, it seems this is not enough to quell my wrath. In that case, when I reach the same level as these two, I'll revive your memories and consciousness, put it into a dog, and raise you as a pet. Yes, that should be enough."

Wang Wei then looked in his eyes. "That's my promise to you."

Time Eater squinted, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes. However, he did not let it leak and soon returned to normal. "At their level, huh? Even when you're angry, you're so careful."

"Only a fool would think he could control someone like you without absolute power," Wang Wei replied.

"A pet, you say," Time Eater chuckled. "That's a good idea. I think I'll be able to brag anywhere in the known Chaos Universe if I have a Dao Overlord pet. Good. In that case, let's see who will be whose pet."

Wang Wei watched him dissipate. He knew Time Eater would be a problem even if he were sealed, but he underestimated the time spawn. He thought it would take a while before the latter could use its means to interfere on the outside.

'It seems I'm not careful or paranoid enough,' Wang Wei thought. He inhaled and exhaled to calm down. Now was not the time to let emotions such as pride rule his thoughts and actions. Instead, he focused on another problem — his lack of longevity resources. He could try to create one now, and although he would need two to ensure he had one life, it was still worth it. However, he felt that Supreme Unity would not let him succeed.

It would be foolish for him to directly start researching methods of longevity just after experiencing death; such an act would be the same as writing on his forehead that he only had one more life left.

'I need to be more careful from now on,' Wang Wei thought. He would have to rely on his Avatars to revive if he died now. However, he had already killed all the ones in the upper dimension, meaning Wang Wei would have to return to the lower dimension.

'It's fine for ordinary people to ascend, but as someone who holds so much destiny and is responsible for the prosperity of the lower dimension, my ascension means something else. If Supreme Unity plays his card correctly, he could use the second ascension to extend his tentacles to the lower dimension.'

The lower dimension is Heavenly Dao's primary source of power. Supreme Unity cannot control Heavenly Dao entirely as long as it's under its control. Even if he completely controlled the upper dimension, Heavenly Dao could buy itself some time by guarding the lower dimension at all costs. As such, if Wang Wei dies and returns down there, he will never ascend again until the problem in the upper dimension is solved. In fact, Heavenly Dao itself probably wouldn't allow him to ascend if he wanted to.

But the question is: can anyone solve the issue of the upper dimension if he loses?

'There are plenty of talents from the Golden Era with such ability, but currently…' Wang Wei shook his head. Emperor Kong is one of them, but he only has the potential and hasn't grown to that level yet. Maybe if Heavenly Dao forced him to experience the Outlaw Trial, but how complicated would that make things in the current situation? Supreme Unity would not allow the latter to train another worthy chess player.

Wang Wei doesn't know much about the sealed talents of the Overlords and top lineages, but as of now, no active talent is capable enough for the task. 'So, the conclusion is I cannot die, or the fate of the world will only be catastrophic,' Wang Wei summarized with a wry smile. He exhaled to calm down: 'Alright, maybe I'm overthinking. The world does not revolve around me. There may be countless talents hidden in the world who can take on this task.'

He decided not to put too much pressure on his shoulder. The world is vast, and the fact he was the Son of Destiny does not mean much in the grand scheme of things.

'More importantly, I should not underestimate this world's Heavenly Dao,' Wang Wei thought. The Eternal Ascension World's Heavenly Dao has accomplished great things and won't be defeated so easily.
