Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

966 The Chrono Chaos Realm's Secret (I)

Wang Wei disappeared before reappearing on top of a small mountain located in the Southern Continent. This mountain was part of undeveloped land, meaning there were no lives in a hundred thousand miles in diameter.

Wang Wei looked at an old man–this generation's sect master of the Watcher Sect.

"You came," said the old man calmly, a wise aura emanating from his body. Although he was only in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he had an otherworldly aura about him, just like he was a supreme powerhouse on par with Immortal Tier cultivators.

"Okay, there's no need for pretense. Everything you do is meaningless, since I can see things you cannot fathom."

The old man began to cough, almost choking. He had been waiting here for a thousand years, living every day in fear and worry. He knew the Heavenly Emperor would come to see him one day, but he did not know when. So, he waited, wanting to pretend he had expected the latter for a long time.

The old man wanted to curse his inheritance; he should never have listened to them and used this terrible idea to deal with the Heavenly Emperor 'Did that senior really bluff a Great Emperor?' thought the old man, feeling the information passed down by his predecessors was full of lies and fabrications.

"What's your name?" asked Wang Wei.

"This old man is called Gao Qiankun."

Wang Wei nodded, "Let me see the Heaven Recording Book."

Gao Qiankun hesitated momentarily before summoning the Emperor Artifact and handing it over. Wang Wei did not hesitate to look at the most recent page. As expected, it recorded every event that has happened in the past thousand years since the birth of the Heavenly Emperor Era.

He even saw records of certain battles between Eternal Tiers powerhouses. Soon, his pupils shrunk as he saw a note about his attack on the Battle Spirit World.

"It seems that I underestimated this thing,'

thought Wang Wei as he analyzed it closer. He soon realized the uniqueness of this artifact–it gathered the destiny of the Myriad Emperor World. Recording accurate and unbiased history is necessary for any advanced civilization, and the Watcher Sect is the faction that amassed the destiny for such an achievement.

'Something tells me the creator of this book was not interested in luck, destiny, or merit; they created this book for an entirely different purpose.'

Wang Wei frowned as he tried to divine something. However, an intense amount of chaotic time energy always blocked his sight at the last minute.

'Now I have proof this thing is related to the Chrono Chaos Realm.'

Wang Wei flipped the page and swiftly read the entire world's history, from the Ancient Emperor Era to the current time. This book was of great help to him, allowing Wang Wei to make up the gap in certain areas that the Sleepers never recorded for various reasons.

However, he noticed two interesting things from this book.

'Their record did not start before my ancestor started the Ancient Emperor Era.'

The very first sentence of this book was about Qiyuan's proving the Dao. However, the first and only Emperor of the Watcher Sect did not prove the Dao after more than 30 generations after Qiyuan.

The second noteworthy aspect of this book was that it was missing some pages; some pieces of history.

"Why are there missing pages?" asked Wang Wei directly.

"Over the years, a few people have noticed our existence," Gao Qiankun sighed. He thought their sects were well hidden, and no Eternal ever discovered them, but he was wrong.

After realizing his identity was revealed, Gao Qiankun panicked and did not know how to deal with the situation. So, he remembered the advice the book gave him after the first time he became this generation's leader. So, without hesitation, he consulted his inheritance, which contains the wisdom and experiences of all past watchers.

He learned from them a few secrets he was not privy to prior.

"Oh, who else discovered you?"

"The first one was someone from the Dao Burial Ground."

"Them?"

"Yes. Someone came to our sect and erased some knowledge from our records, and killed that generation's Watcher. Luckily, the Heaven Record Book escaped, and no one came for us afterward."

Wang Wei frowned after hearing this; he wondered what the rats in the Dao Burial Ground wanted to hide. However, now was not the time to get to the bottom of this mystery.

"The second person should be an Eternal Emperor."

"What's with the uncertainty?"

"According to our record, this information is only a deduction or analysis," explained Gao Qiankun.

"So, who was the one to visit?"

The old man did not immediately answer but asked, "Do you know there were two extra Eternal Emperors in our world that should have fallen?"

"I'm aware."

After first knowing about Di Tian's life experience, Wang Wei deduced that the two people Di Tian lost to and did not have any recollections of should be dead Eternal Emperors.

"One of them should be responsible for our missing records," explained Gao Qiankun. "And... My predecessors believed that person's cause of death was our sect."

After hearing this information, Wang Wei swiftly placed a few pieces of information together.

'Assuming he's telling the truth, could the Eternal Emperor have died because of pursuing whatever secret lies in the Chrono Chaos Realm?'

Wang Wei was suddenly interested. "Let me borrow this book for a while."

He disappeared from the mountain, and Gao Qiankun breathed in relief.

"I made the right choice by not resisting and telling the truth."

Wang Wei headed directly to the Chrono Chaos Realm. He entered without hesitation, heading directly to the core. The process was both easy and difficult. As soon as he arrived, he discovered whoever created this place had a better or higher understanding of Time Dao than him.

Furthermore, there was so much time energy in this place that the entire realm acted like an Immortal Sovereign's Energy Dominance.

He found it difficult to teleport in this place, so he had to fly to the core. However, the deeper he went, the scarier the power this forbidden land contained. By the time he reached the center, this place contained the power to kill Great Emperors with 55% Grand Dao Source.

Wang Wei flew to a white light, and in a blank of an eye, he found himself in all white space. He saw two people sitting at the center with a third empty cushion. He gazed at the two individuals–two men dressed in white robes, looking identical. His first thought was they were twins, but he soon removed that idea upon closer observation.

'These people are the same individual, each from a different period of time,' he concluded.

The young man on the right exuded a carefree yet desolate temperament; he was like a man who had suffered tremendously but saw through the essence of life and achieved enlightenment.

The one on the left was full of anger and unwillingness. His eyes indicated an unwavering desire.

"I've seen these eyes before. They're the eyes of a man whose obsession has reached an unimaginable level." Di Tian had similar eyes.

"Fellow Daoist," said the man on the left, inviting Wang Wei to the empty seat. Wang Wei did not have any hesitations as he sat before them. He did not sense any killing intention or animosity; furthermore, he already knew this person's power level: 43% Grand Dao Source.

However, with the Chrono Chaos Zone, even someone with 55% Grand Dao Source and above might suffer in this person's hand.

"How may I address, Fellow Daoist?" asked Wang Wei as he sat down.

"In the olden days, people called us the Time Monarch," said the man on the right.

"Now, you can refer to us as Ji Wu."

Wang Wei nodded, deducing the identity of these two. He guessed he should be some Eternal Emperor who lived during the war. However, he seemed to be in a strange state.

"Brother Ji, my name is–"

"We know who you are, sir Heavenly Emperor," said the man on the right. "We saw all the changes that have occurred in the world since your ascension."

The two sighed simultaneously. They have lived in what could be described as the most brilliant era of the Myriad Emperor World. However, in all their lives, they have never seen a genius as talented or unique as this Fate Dominating Emperor.

"Before you came, we were discussing how much easier the war would have been if you lived in our era," said the left Ji Wu.

"Yes, the human and acquired life would not have to pay so much to win the war, and so many lives could have been saved."

Wang Wei felt there was a hidden meaning behind these words. However, he did not immediately ask.

"I'm glad you two can think so highly of me. I would have also liked to live in that era, fighting side by side with my ancestor for the survival and glory of the human race and all other acquired lives."

"Yes, but it's a pity."

"Maybe not. Maybe he would not have been so excellent if born in the wrong era," countered Ji Wu on the right.

"Such a talent would shine wherever he was born.

As the saying goes, gold will always shine even when surrounded by dirt."

Wang Wei calmly smiled after hearing these compliments. He could tell the one on the right was sincere while the one on the left had a hidden agenda.

"Thank you for the high praise, but let's get back to the main topic," said Wang Wei. "I came here to get some answers about this place. If fellow Daoists could enlighten me, I would greatly appreciate it."
