Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor
chapter-1261

"How are things have been?" Wang Wei asked after sitting down.

"Good," Xu Shi replied. "It would have been better if the current situation was not as it is." The upper dimension has so many resources, and they have a kind teacher like Emperor Kong.

"I can tell," Wang Wei nodded. He noticed these two had already finished Foundation Re-establishment, and they all completed Nine Supremity Foundation and entered the 10-fold Battle Realm.

"How is Headmaster Bai Han doing? It's been a while since I saw him," Wang Wei asked, somewhat curious whether the latter had reconciled with his father.

"He's doing fine," Lin Fan said before quickly changing the conversation. "Let me ask you: Su Ya never changed her mind, right? After everybody left, she stayed in the lower dimension, correct?"

Wang Wei looked at him, "No, she is still in the lower dimension."

"Good, good, good," he uttered three times, his eyes not hiding his killing intent.

"Have you thought about the consequences of killing her?"

"I know the Yin Moon Palace is one of the upper members of the Grand Sect Alliance. However, the risk should be minimized if I can cultivate fast enough and kill her."

"Normally, that would be the case," Wang Wei replied.

"Does Su Ya have another identity?" Xu Shi immediately asked. They have been investigating the situation and planning this assassination for a while.

"Have you heard of the Yin Moon Palace's [Desire Spectrum Book]?"

"I heard it was one of their sect's Luck Condensing Artifacts, known to be terrifying for its power of illusion and controlling people's emotions," Xu Shi replied. The Grand Sect Alliance used to hold a grant event in which countless sects — including the other Overlords — would send their people to use the book to temper their Dao Heart. Although these factions have their own method, they knew it paled in comparison to that book.

As soon as Xu Shi said these words, her face turned ugly. Lin Fan also figured out something and his expression mirrored his wife's.

"Could it be?"

"That's right," Wang Wei nodded. "Most people don't know that the book is divided into upper and lower parts. The Upper Part was created by Nine Paragons with the Six Emotions Seven Desires Physique — most of which were artificially created since not everyone from the lower dimension could become Paragons.

"Meanwhile, the lower part is incomplete because only the Emperors from the lower dimension can write it. Su Ya will be the eighth writer from the lower dimension, meaning the palace will greatly value her, especially if she becomes an Eternal."

Xu Shi and Lin Fan were quiet. They thought they were lucky since the Yin Moon Palace did not cultivate one of the alliance's 5 Primal Paragons. Sadly, they were confronted with another terrible truth: the limitations of their background. No matter how good Emperor Kong and the Academy's current situation was, it did not change the fact that they were new, meaning they were not privy to many secrets. Additionally, it meant that when facing these ancient behemoths, they could only suffer.

"And this might not be the extent of her value," Wang Wei added.

"There is more? Xu Shi asked.

"Once this era ends, we will not return to the era of the Thirteen Overlord. The next era will be the race for transcendence."

Xu Shi and Lin Fan squinted. Emperor Kong once said something similar but never elaborated on what that meant despite their asking. He only said they were too weak to get involved in such matters.

"After that book is completed, it might reveal a path to transcendence, thus raising its level to an incomprehensible level," Wang Wei continued. He was not saying these words out of nowhere. After his encounter with the Heart Desire Palace, he believed these people had mastered a transcendent path involving Six Emotions, Seven Desires, and obsession.

"What exactly is [transcendence]?" Xu Shi asked. Wang Wei opened his mouth and was about to answer when a weird atmosphere enveloped the room, warning him not to talk too much to these ants about such secrets of Heaven and Earth.

"Well, as you can see, you two are too weak to know such a secret," Wang Wei shrugged. He once told these people some basic information about this path, but he planned to be more detailed this time. However, it seems Grand Dao was not happy with his actions.

Meanwhile, Xu Shi and Lin Fan's faces were paled. The aura that descended in the room was genuinely terrifying.

"However, you should be able to deduce some information," Wang Wei added.

"The two suns," Lin Fan uttered. They had guessed these two had transcended the Paragon Realm.

"That's right," Wang Wei nodded.

"So, there is nothing we can do?" Lin Fan said, anger and hatred flashing in his eyes.

"I never said that," Wang Wei continued. "It will be a race, but just because you guys are behind doesn't mean you can catch up and surpass the people from the Grand Sect Alliance. After all, do you think anyone can walk that path?"

If Maitreya was telling the truth, she plans to share how to achieve Half-Step Transcendence with the world, giving the factions in the Eternal Ascension World a greater opportunity for advancement than the rest of the Chaos Universe. However, even with her gracious actions, the amount of people who will succeed will be counted on one hand. No, the Eternal Ascension World is the destiny center of the Chaos Universe, so that number might increase by 2 or 3 times, but even then, it will take a long time before such a thing is possible. Additionally, Wang Wei has predicted a large migration of foreigners into the Eternal Ascension World who wish to compete for this opportunity. The situation will be chaotic, so it's not even guaranteed some factions from the previous [Thirteen Overlords] will survive until they can give birth to a Half-Step Transcendent. He did not mention that the Yin Moon Palace would have a target on their backs once people realized the value of that book. Overall, Xu Shi and Lin Fan's situation is not as hopeless as it seems, but it's also not as good since their Academy is not even a Paragon Lineage.

"Thank you for telling us this information," Xu Shi said after regaining her composure.

"Yes, truly, thank you," Lin Fan added. They might have discovered some of this information later on, but the part about transcendence was uncertain. At the very least, it would be too late when they learned about it. Now that they know everything, they can better prepare for what cause of action to take next.

"No problem," Wang Wei waved his hand. He told them for two reasons. Firstly, Xu Shi was indeed a friend, so he did mine provided some help to her. However, this was now his primary motive. Lin Fan's current situation reminded him of these protagonists in novels who wanted revenge. Unfortunately, their target was a powerful faction that forced them to cultivate a much higher realm before avenging their hatred.

'One way luck and destiny manifest themselves is by giving their chosen one an impossible task to conquer,' Wang Wei thought. 'Lin Fan, as a possible chess piece of the Chaos Demon Gods, was granted the destiny of overcoming the Yin Moon Palace.

'No, with how weird Emperor Kong's destiny is, it might be their task is to overcome one of the Thirteen Overlords, and luckily, it's the Grand Sect Alliance.'

These two were lucky their destiny did not target the Dao Opening Sect. Otherwise, Wang Wei would immediately eliminate them after deducing everything. He would not even spare Xu Shi because of their friendship.

'The question now is why the Grand Sect Alliance?' Wang Wei thought. 'Was it chosen randomly amount of the Thirteen Overlord? Or because they were previously the most powerful?' Countless thoughts flashed in his mind.

'It could also be related to that book. If it's really a prototype to a transcendent path, maybe their sect cannot bear the luck of having such an object, and their eventual destruction is the result of luck backlash,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'This conjecture sounds the most logical and likely, but I feel something bigger is at play. There is a more grand picture that I'm not seeing.'

Xu Shi glanced at Wang Wei. She could tell he knew way more than he was letting on. However, she also knew there was no point in asking since he did not share it in the first place. Everything this man did was calculated, so there was no point in asking if he had already decided how much information to share.

"Alright, let's get on topic," Wang Wei said. He had already deduced Lin Fan's future, which was full of struggle against the Grand Sect Alliance and his attempt at reviving his child. Although he felt bad for his friend that was about to get sucked into that whirlpool, there was nothing he could do unless Xu Shi wished to separate from him.

The only thing Wang Wei can do is, at the right time, remind her to lean more on Emperor Kong's destiny so as not to be swallowed entirely by her husband's destiny. It would be best for her to acquire a destiny on par with these two, but this was not a simple feat.
