Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1131 It Can't Be

Everything was settled, so Wang Wei continued to do his own thing. He entered the Science and Technology World to prepare for his Taboo Battle Realm. The world had drastically changed since the last time he entered, with most people he "knew" or interacted with already dead.

He had divided this world into dimensional layers, each containing different civilizations with possibilities to evolve and improve. Wang Wei headed to the highest layer where the Watchers - an immortal race that he created tasked with observing and recording all knowledge and development of these civilizations. The Watchers contained a library with all this universe's information, history, and innovation since the beginning of time.

Wang Wei had a deep frown as he reviewed the information. He started with the development of [Earth], and he was not happy with the result. In many layers, different types of humans eventually become the dominant species. Although statistically, Homo Sapiens are more likely to be the final victor, it was not always the case.

Then, these species would evolve until they took the stars, spread to the universe, created Quantum Technology to explore other dimensional layers, and started their path of confronting higher dimensional civilizations. Wang Wei was more than happy with how science and technology developed; his dissatisfaction was with how the other aspect of society evolved.

Things like arts, religions, philosophies, and culture were extremely monotonous compared to Earth in the Prehistoric World. In fact, how these Earths evolved was so similar in that area that it was uncanny.

'Truly boring and monotonous,' thought Wang Wei after finishing a published book of Civilization Z897. One of his objectives in creating these worlds was to inspire him, and none of these civilizations did. And it was not just the ones that evolved from Earth, but also the ones that developed from other planets in the universe.

'However, this proves that Earth's vibrant cultural melt pot is actually unique since all these civilizations developed in such a linear and straightforward way,' concluded Wang Wei before sighing.

'This world was a failure, meaning I'll have to start over,' he thought. "The good news is that it seems that the Quantum Realm was perfected because of these rounds of development.'

After analyzing all the changes in this world and their study of the Quantum Realm, Wang Wei learned many things, and the most important is that the Quantum Realm is indeed another version of the Chaos Universe. It embodies Grand Dao and all its modules like the River of Fate, River of Time, etc.

'That's good news for me and all, but I've essentially created an entity whose essence is on par with Grand Dao. What can I do if it turns on me?' Wang Wei thought. The only reassurance he has is that if something happens to him, Hongjun's protection of this world will collapse, and the [Quantum Will] will face [Grand Dao] directly. The former has no chance of winning because although its essence is close to Grand Dao, its strengths are miles apart.

Wang Wei sighed at the irony. He was playing [God] and created one that even surpasses him. 'Forget it. Let's take things as they go." The Quantum Will displays behavior similar to Grand Dao, but it's even more indifferent as it does not interfere with the universe's development; it only cares about perfecting itself by absorbing the endless possibilities that each life represents. It did not even care if these creatures messed up with the Quantum Realm. Of course, Wang Wei knew it was because no life had reached the level of strength to do that yet.

He once tasked the Watchers with spreading Old Man Nether's blood for certain worthy civilizations to study, so no life has yet reached or surpassed the [Empyrean Tier], and the same goes for technology.

Wang Wei entered the Quantum Realm for cultivation. After years of analysis, he realized that two things were preventing him from entering the Taboo Realm: the limit of Heaven and Earth (or Grand Dao, and the fact his body/foundation could not bear such a Grand Dao Boost stack - similar to how someone needs at least 1-Root Nine Extremity Foundation to reach 7-fold strength.

'By training in this isolated world, I've already removed - or reduced ⌜€“ Grand Dao's restrictions on me to the lowest level,' thought Wang Wei. 'So, the next step is to increase my foundation. The [Dao Body] is the representation or manifestation of a person's Dao Foundation, and its fundamental essence is how much concept it contains."

An Emperor's Dao Body is the combination of his cultivation (primarily his law understanding] soul, the fleshly body strength, Dao Heart, and the energy it contains - all of which will turn on how many "concepts" an Emperor can contain after absorbing the Heaven Will and transition into Energy Lifeforms to completely Conceptual Beings.

'So, the plan is actually simple and straightforward: absorb more concepts,' thought Wang Wei. 'And if that plan works, it should be easier for me to elevate my [Dao Body] to a higher level since my foundation is the Ten Supremacy, meaning I already have a higher threshold of containing concepts.'

After the initial plan, Wang Wei no longer hesitated and tried this method. He absorbed the motes of lights from the Quantum Realm, incorporating more concepts into his body. Of course, he checked first to see if these fate concepts contained any hidden things. He was not too worried because he knew once he left this place, Grand Dao would detect if something was left inside his body and would not allow such intrusion into the Chaos Universe.

'It's working,' thought Wang Wei as he could sense a new transformation in his body. He accelerated the speed at which he absorbed the concepts of fate, and with each passing moment, he could feel a slight change in his Dao Body.

The process of understanding the Grand Dao Source also increases the 'concepts' in his body. However, this process is as if the body was a bucket and someone added water. Meanwhile, upgrading the Dao Body was like replacing the bucket with a large pool or vast ocean, allowing it to contain more water. Although this oversimplified a much more complex idea, that was the general gist of it.

'Let's stop for now,' thought Wang Wei once he reached a certain threshold. He wanted to leave this place to have Grand Dao check his body before proceeding any further. So, he teleported out of this world with a single thought.

Wang Wei grunted as soon as he stepped into his court; a terrifying pain coursed through every part of his body. Then, he watched as a gray aura or energy released from his body as if he were a deflated balloon.

'The fate concepts I just accepted? Was something really wrong with them?' He focused his mind despite the pain to sense and analyze whatever was happening to him. His brow furrowed: 'It can't be."

Once the pain ended and the process ended, Wang Wei immediately entered the Science and Technology World once again. He immediately created a second world and used Time Acceleration to have it grow. He modeled this new world's Quantum Realm after the original one but ensured that it was smaller and weaker and did not create any kind of will of its own. It was a simple computer program with no ability to evolve or develop.

The process took some time, but once it finished, Wang Wei then absorbed the fate concepts for a second to improve his Dao Body before once again returning to the Myriad Emperor World. But the same thing happened to him.

He smiled wryly. 'There is nothing wrong with the Original Quantum Realm. Grand Dao simply won't accept me using this path to achieve Taboo Realm.' He asked himself why there were no actions after he used the Scientific and Technological World to achieve Ten Supremacy. Well, he was wrong. Something did happen, and he just did not know.

'The S&T World's value has greatly reduced,' Wang Wei thought with gritted teeth. He wanted to use his foul language skills to give that bastard Grand Dao a verbal beating.

'Calm down, calm down. There is no need to antagonize a nigh omniscient entity just for a moment of anger. The world is still extremely valuable for other things.' Typically, Grand Dao would not care if an ant called its name - no matter how vile the things said are. However, Wang Wei guessed the latter was not on good terms with the future version of himself, and such an act might be enough for him to act out of pettiness and make his life more miserable.

His life was or should say, will already be difficult, so he did not need a petty god making it even harder. Wang Wei exhaled to calm down.

'Now, my only choice is the Dark Truth.' His lips twitched as he remembered the Mad Titan's quote: "You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me."

He suddenly sensed a vision in the distance.

"What is it now?"
