Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

970 Next: The Dao Burial Ground

Primordial Chaos, Red Mist Forbidden Land: Heavenly Book opened his eyes, and his book floated before him.

'Another Time Nexus? So soon?'

More words appeared in his book, but he was not happy. He had this foreboding feeling that time was not on his side. By the time this book is finished, only a few Time Nexuses might be left.

'This is probably not an accident. Someone is delaying the creation of the Heavenly Book to prevent me from interfering.'

He never expected things to go smoothly, but he did not expect his plan to be so difficult. Heavenly Book closed the book, knowing time was running out.

His highest priority now is to find something that Madman Chu is interested in so he can exchange with him. Sadly, such a task is more difficult than it sounds.

Although Chu Yun was crazy, he was still an unparalleled genius, meaning few things in the Chaos Universe interested him enough for an exchange. Currently, Heavenly Book has a few ideas and leads, but nothing concrete as of yet.

'Of all these things, which is the easiest to get and will interest him?'

Countless thoughts flashed in his mind as he soon got the answer:

'The origin of Buddhism.'

Heavenly Book waved his hand to send a few talismans before creating another clone and sending it somewhere.

Eternal Ascension World, Upper Dimension, before the Dark Truth:

Maitreya opened her eyes and gazed in the distance. She felt a slight turbulence in the River of Time. She was extremely sensitive to this change because she had been trying to prevent it for years.

The reason she allied with Supreme Unity in the first place was because she did not want any fluctuation from the River of Time, but when cultivators first enter the Paragon Realm for the first time, the river will fluctuate immensely.

Her flawed method of Transcendence did not allow such variations, so she accepted Supreme Unity's plan. However, now that she had stabilized her realm, her strength not only went a small step forward but also no longer cared about any distractions or fluctuations.

On the contrary, she wanted the old world to return, she wanted the Golden Era to once again grace the world. Only in this way can many people discuss the Dao together, finding a real method of Transcendence.

Sadly, Supreme Unity let power get into his head.

Maitreya looked at him from the corner of her eyes. The latter had noticed the fluctuations, but he only briefly opened his eyes.

'Twin Flower has not responded after so long, so he must have taken action. Is this retribution?'

Maitreya secretly sighed before observing the world. In an instant, she saw every corner of this infinite universe.

'As long as these people are removed, and the world returns to its prosperous time, True Heavenly Dao will be strengthened and have the ability to fight against Supreme Unity. By then, his fate would be to drop down to the Paragon Realm or die.

'However, things will not be so simple.'

She could tell a terrible war was about to cover this world.

'Time Eater will be the greatest variable in the early stages.'

Maitreya's eyes pierced through the River of Time, gazing at the infinite timelines. He knew what Time Eater's plan was. As early as when she left the Ultimate Taboo, the latter came to ask him permission to travel to the Infinite Trichiliocosm.

Maitreya refused, and this act was the catalyst that pushed Time Eater to Supreme Unity's side.

However, she could also see he was ambitious and only served whoever could benefit him.

'With him, things should be fine,' thought Maitreya as she checked on the lower dimension.

She sensed a tremendous change occurring there and secretly smiled. The lower dimension's prosperity will immensely help True Heavenly Dao's battle against Supreme Unity.

As such, she will protect Wang Wei and ensure no one interferes in his plan. Once Supreme Unity is remotely weakened, she will attack.

Maitreya frowned as she looked at the peaceful Supreme Unity; she felt he was about to make a grand move, which would be very detrimental to her side.

Eternal Ascension World, Lower Dimension, Myriad Emperor World, Chrono Chaos Realm: Wang Wei exhaled deeply, trying to calm down and analyze this experience. He learned a few things during this brief visit to the River of Time.

Firstly, and most importantly, he officially confirmed his future self is involved in some shenanigans that involved messing with time. He only had speculation before today but now had proof for his theory.

'It's good I have such a bright future. However, the future is ever-changing, and messing with time is a pain that could lead to catastrophic results.'

Wang Wei could guess the trouble his future self would bring him. Out of nowhere, some powerful enemy from the future could pop up and kill his weak self.

'I'm sure my future self put in place the necessary precautions, but if something goes wrong, I will be screwed.' Wang Wei had a headache because things were no longer out of his control. He was involved in an intricate chess game, but the current him was not the chess player playing.

In other words, his objective is to grow and become that chess player.

'Then, there is the issue of the change timeline,'

he continued. 'Switching an entire timeline is not something even Maitreya and Supreme Unity can do–unless they isolate the entire Eternal Ascension World and not let it affect the rest of the Chaos Universe.'

Wang Wei's brow furrowed deeply as he contemplated the implications behind this discovery.

'Who switched the timeline? Was it me or someone else? How strong is the future me–half-step transcendence or a true transcendent?'

Wang Wei deduced the possibility that the Half-Step Transcendence Realm might be more vast than expected, with many levels or stages. If that's true, the difference between each stage might be larger than a normal ant and a peak Boundless Paragon.

Wang Wei finished his analysis and stored the information deep in his mind. Finally, he focused on the Chrono Chaos Realm. Ji Wu left this timeline, fusing with another version of himself in another timeline, leaving this place without any owner.

"Although there is no longer any Chaotic Time Energy, this place might be useful," muttered Wang Wei as he thought of something. Hescanned the area with his Divine Sense.

"It has been baptized by Chaotic Time Energy, making it the perfect base for the Void Battlefield."

Wang Wei had already sent news to Sword One in the Commerce Hub to look out for certain treasures needed to create the unique Void Battlefield. But now, he had a better idea.

"The Void Battlefield must be able to withstand my fight with Old Man Nether, so the best way I can think to create it is to nourish it with the power of nothingness."

If he could create a place filled with nothingness, no matter how much Empyrean power he used in the upcoming battle, the Void Battlefield would not crumble.

Wang Wei no longer hesitated as he condensed a large quantity of Nothingness, fusing it with the Chrono Chaos Realm.

"As expected, after being nourished by so much time and energy, the power of nothingness cannot immediately destroy it. On the contrary, it makes it easier to fuse."

Since he did not have to worry about death or the collapse of his body, Wang Wei could condense as much power of nothingness as he wished using his [Void Stage Fleshly Body] as the medium.

As such, he refined this realm into a pocket dimension full of nothingness's power in a very short period.

"Excellent," commented Wang Wei as he stood up.

He punched the air, using all his strength.

However, he soon frowned as he saw the few cracks scattered on the side.

"It's not completed yet," he uttered. "I need to continue nourishing it while also finding something to serve as the core. Only then would it be ready."

His strength has not crossed that boundary, but he can still leave cracks in this place; it's not ready yet.

'After nourishing it for a while, I can take it for a test.'

Wang Wei waved his hand to create a clone, leaving it here to continue refining the Chrono Chaos Realm. He exited this place and headed home. Of course, the Chrono Chaos Realm disappeared from the world, making people know the Heavenly Emperor had conquered another Forbidden Land.

Wang Wei returned home and summoned Gao Qiankun. He opened the Watcher Pavillion in the sect, appointing the former leader of the Watcher Sect as the Pavilion Master. From now on, the Dao Opening Sect has another lineage.

Each generation, the Watcher Pavilion will choose someone to inherit the position, keeping a record of the world's history. This new lineage has no power in the sect, and the chosen heirs will not participate in the Heaven Will Battle. However, it's still an important lineage to the sect due to the luck and destiny it provides.

After settling everything, Wang Wei checked on the Dream World. After realizing everything was proceeding smoothly, he went for his next target: the Dao Burial Ground.
