Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor-Novel

After Long Bo’s death, his soul lamp back in the sect was destroyed, thus alerting many of the other elders. Many people sighed at this unfortunate event, but few actually cared-- even the members of his own faction.

People like Fan Lei, the Great Elder that oversees the library, knew that this was a predicted outcome. Although he wished that his old friend would not do anything stupid to force the sect to do anything against him, unfortunately for him, his wish did not come true.

So, after taking a few moments to grieve the death of his old friend, he moved on with his life. In the cultivating world, death is a constant and eternal theme; death is nothing but one of the many natural cycles of the universe, of the Dao.

As for Wang Wei, he did not learn of Long Bo’s death until later on. After spending a few months traveling throughout a few Domains in the Central Continent, he finally arrived in the Heaven Bliss Domain--which was the location of the Emperors Enlightening Academy.

Just like the Dao Opening Sect, the Academy has control over countless Domains, which served as the locations for its different branches. But the Heaven Bliss Domain is the core area of the Academy where all the elite reside.

Whether it is the teachers, deacons, or students, they are the best of the best. All the students and staff of the other domains dreamed of one day being eligible to be transferred to this place.

The entire Heaven Bliss Domain was actually a giant city. According to Wang Wei’s estimation, the entire city is probably the size of the solar system from his previous life. As such, there are designated areas for people to fly and teleportation arrays to send people to different places.

This was the first time that Wang Wei had seen such a large continuous city, so he decided to take a tour before officially reporting to the Academy. Of course he did not know that his arrival caused a great stir ;it was like a stone thrown in a calm lake, creating far and wide ripples.

As soon as Wang Wei arrived, all the Heaven Chosens suddenly felt his existence; it was as if the final boss of a video game suddenly appeared, making all the players nervous. They all knew that with his arrival, the real competition was about to begin, the first worldwide struggle in this generation’s Heaven Will Battle was about to take place.

From now on, all the Heaven Chosens will officially declare their existence to the world. More importantly, the people that can truly hold the title of "Heaven Chosen" were about to be decided.

While most of the geniuses of different factions were preparing for the future confrontation, Wang Wei was leisurely continuing his tour of the city. He did not care that people were waiting for him. After eating at one of the most popular restaurant of the city, Wang Wei was walking in the streets with a satisfied smile on his face when he noticed a beggar in a corner with a Go board in front of him.

There were two reasons that he noticed this beggar: one is the fact that such. Prosperous city would never allow a beggar to live unhindered and without worry. Second was this beggar’s cultivation level. Although most people passed by the beggar with a look of disdain and disgust on their faces, Wang Wei could tell that this beggar was actually a Saint Realm True Person.

So with curiosity, he approached the beggar to figure out his deal. However as soon his eyes landed on the Go board, he frowned as he realized this was not just an ordinary game. Intrigued, Wang Wei sat on the floor while deeply observing the board. As for the beggar, he completely ignored his visitor as he also concentrated on the board game.

After spending a few hours analyzing this Go board, Wang Wei sighed before saying, "Old man, you are crazy!"

The beggar finally raised his eyes to look at Wang Wei, "You understand this board?" he asked with a hoarse voice.

"Yes, this board is a representation of the Dao of Heaven, the ability to acquire all the knowledge and secrets that exist between Heaven and Earth, then use this knowledge to secretly control all worlds and beings like a chessboard: the Dao that allows one person to become omniscient."

The beggar has a surprise look on his face. He did not expect the brat to only spent a few hours to analyze the entire board in just a few hours. You know, only a few of his peers can do such a thing, and they would need days if not months.

"You are an interesting brat."

"No, you are the interesting one. I am seriously wondering how you managed to cultivate the Saint Realm with such a Dao."

The beggar sighed after hearing this, then sadness, anger, despair, and unwillingness flashed across his eyes.

"Brat, what do you mean by I’m crazy? Is there something wrong with my Dao?"

"Do you think you can truly become all knowing, become omniscient?"

"Why not? The Yin Yang Emperor could calculate everything under Heaven and Earth and treat the world as a chessboard."

"The keyword is ’calculate’, meaning he could anticipate all the variables possible under Heaven and Earth, then create a method to deal with it. But what you are doing is to know everything in the universe, know all possible outcomes with a hundred percent certainty , know all the Daos in existence."

The beggar sighed again, then looked at the Go Board instead of looking at Wang Wei. However, the latter did not stop talking:

"Let me ask you, have you ever heard of any Great Emperor that has become omniscient? Even among the best of them?"

"...No!"

"That’s right. Heavenly Dao is ruthless and treats all things as equals. As such, there is no difference between an ant and a Great Emperor. They still have limits, restraints or shackles."

The beggar looked at Wang Wei with a look of shock on his face, then he started laughing, "Haha, you called me crazy then went on to compare an ant with the one of the greatest beings that have walked between Heaven and Earth."

However, Wang Wei was calmed and did not react much. "This is the difference between you and me. You see a Great Emperor as an unimaginable and indescribable being, but I see it as just another cultivating Realm. Furthermore, in the Endless Void with infinite possibilities, who knows if there is a place out there where a Great Emperor is nothing but a bigger ant in front of the truly powerful beings."

The beggar stopped laughing and looked at Wang Wei with deep and profound eyes. As a person who cultivates the Dao of Heaven, he knows many deep and hidden secrets of the world. However, this less than 200 years old snot nosed brat can actually infer these secrets by himself, so he must not be a simple role.

After reigning in both his laughter and his wandering mind, the beggar looked at the Go Board for a few long seconds before saying, "So, Sacred Son Wang Wei, what do you think I should do? Abandoned my Path?"

"Not necessarily. In this world, there is only one person or thing that can successfully cultivate the Dao of Heaven."

"Heavenly Dao!" replied the beggar with a deep look in his eyes.

"Yes, there are countless worlds each with a Heavenly Dao of their own. And if they are all connected, then they can share knowledge from trillions of years, trillions of people, and trillion of worlds. Only with this method can Heavenly Dao come remotely close to being omniscient, but even that is probably not enough as there are two many restrictions and possibilities."

The beggar had another shocked look on his face. He never thought about this possibility. "How does that help me?"

"Simple, by merging with Heavenly Dao and getting access to all its secrets, knowledge and mechanisms will you have a chance for you to continue on your Dao However, that is a dangerous method as it is easy for you to be completely swallowed by Heavenly Dao instead or become its puppet."

The beggar’s eyes shone after hearing Wang Wei’s words. The more he thought about it, the more he realized the possibilities of this method. Then, a powerful aura came out of the beggar’s body, then golden clouds appeared in the sky around him. Countless chain-like objects started to circle around him. These things were actually Laws of the World. This beggar had entered a state of enlightenment.

After a few seconds, the visions around him faded and the beggar started laughing out loud while muttering to himself, "So that’s how it is. I finally found my Path forward."

After calming himself down, the beggar looked at Wang Wei with a happy smile, "Brat, in order to repay the karma of directing the Way, I accept one of your requests."

"How about become one of my followers?" asked Wang Wei directly.

"Haha little brat, unfortunately for you, no matter how talented and special you are, you are not yet worthy for me to follow you. Maybe later when you surpass me in strength."

After saying that, the beggar took out a token and handed it to Wang Wei. "When you are confused and need some special information or guidance, then use this token to find me and I will tell you all I know."

Wang Wei looked at the token strangely, "Why would I need your guidance?"

"You cultivate the Dao of Fate, right?"

After frowning for a while, he answered, "That’s correct."

"Then you will definitely need it." Then, the beggar disappeared, leaving a puzzled Wang Wei standing there by himself, looking at a token.
