Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1015 The Great Darkness

Chapter 1015 The Great Darkness

1015 The Great Darkness

Terminus Heaven:

The cardinals soon appeared in the meeting room, looking at the person who called this meeting.

"Time? What is it this time?" asked Fate, not hiding the worry in his face.

"The timeline has changed again," replied the feline creature somberly. As a person in control of the River of Time, he did not like how often the river fluctuated or drastically changed.

"How great of a change for you to call an official meeting?" asked Chaos. As the person least affected by the current catastrophe, she could always remain calm and composed.

"Something called the Great Darkness has appeared," explained the cat, "And its power is enough to affect the balance of the universe."

"Darkness? Wait, you don't mean?" asked Fate with an ugly expression.

"It's most likely her."

"Wasn't she just a vase? At best, she was a decent military strategist," asked Samsara.

"Yes, he protected her to a fault, fearing we would use his family against him," nodded Heaven. "Now, you're telling me she could affect our fight? How is that possible?"

They had an answer as soon as the question was asked-the timeline was changed.

"He grows more powerful daily while acquiring new allies," summarized Source Qi. "We might have to admit an uncomfortable truth-we are probably not his main opponent."

"Are you suggesting we are nothing but cannon fodder?" asked the Magistrate of Heaven with red eyes.

"No, not cannon fodder, but no kings as well - only generals."

Some people grunted while others remained silent. They have towered over all sentient beings and existence for so long, how could they accept such a fact?

"There is no need to let our pride influence us,"

said Samsara. "We know the timeline can be changed, so as long as we stop him at the correct time, we will be the final victor and restore the previous status quo."

"She's correct," added Time, looking at everybody with his cat eyes that made him more profound.

"This Great Darkness is not a fixed point in time, and its very existence is unstable, meaning we can prevent it from appearing."

Everybody's eyes concentrated:

"So, we should expect a fight with him very soon?"

muttered Heaven. They knew he would never allow them to prevent this Great Darkness from happening.

"Very good."

The Magister of Heaven was indeed excited.

Although they suffered during most of their confrontation, it was not because of their weakness or their opponent's overwhelming power. The main reason was due to the latter's cunningness and ability to hide and attack them when unprepared. If they could force him to face them directly, he would suffer even with her and the other allies on his side.

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes," replied Time. "But we need to discuss and refine it first before taking action. We don't want any variables or trouble."

Then, these six individuals, to whom the term 'G.o.dlike' was a great insult to their powers, began to plan an event that would fundamentally change the Chaos Universe.

Eternal Ascension World, Lower Dimension, Myriad Emperor World, Heavenly Court:

"...some way to go," said w.a.n.g Wei.

"When are you beginning the expansion?" asked Yu Yan

"Most likely in the next meeting," replied w.a.n.g Wei.

"Have you thought of a date?"

"Not exactly. There are a few things that need to be dealt with beforehand."

"What about your bait plan? It should be coming to fruition soon?"

"Yes. Many people should be dissatisfied with the Enlightening Temple, fueling their motive to do something stupid. So, I should see results soon."

"That's good. I'm always rea.s.sured by whatever you do. However, if you need anything, don't forget to ask."

"You know I will."

Yu Yan kissed him on the cheek before floating away. After proving the Dao, she still had to cultivate and train so she could be as powerful as possible. w.a.n.g Wei watched her leave before looking in the distance.

He smirked before returning to his healing. With enough pills and some merit, the process should be drastically accelerated.

Emperor Enlightening Academy:

Xu s.h.i.+ was in a daze ever since she saw the vision of the female musician who fought on par with a Saint using the guqin. An idea flashed in her mind but seemed rapidly fleeting, forcing her to concentrate to catch it.

The Academy's upper echelon came to see her for a meeting but was forced by an Insurgent not to disturb her. Finally, after more than an hour, a brilliant light shone in her eyes before muttering: "I understand," she muttered before rus.h.i.+ng to her cultivation retreat after leaving a temporary clone to replace her.

Time pa.s.sed, and like flowing water, a hundred years flashed by. Normally, such a period would have been the length of a mortal's lifespan and should have produced more than five generations, but it is different now. Mortals could live for at least 200 years.

During these past hundred years, the world seemed very peaceful. Mortals developed arts and crafts, while cultivators used the Dream World to benefit them as much as possible. Everyone seemed in a hurry but could not understand or explain why. It was like everything knew something was about to happen and were preparing.

Bang!

The world trembled lightly, alerting everyone.

People rushed to the Dream World to find news and information. They knew what they were awaiting had come, but nothing seemed to have changed so far. Then, visions suddenly appeared in the sky, confusing people even more.

w.a.n.g Wei's eyes opened in the court, exhaling deeply. His strength had returned to Second Cla.s.s. Although still low and weak, it was a good sign he was recovering so quickly, given the nature of his injury.

"What happened? Did they take the bait?"

"No, but soon," replied the clone.

"Then, what's the matter with the ruckus?"

"The first Innate Lifeforms have been nurtured,"

he replied succinctly before waving his hand to show a projection of six different places. w.a.n.g Wei immediately identified three famous creatures: Ancestral Dragon, Empress Phoenix, and Origin Qilin. The other creatures were humanoid species who could be described as t.i.tans.

w.a.n.g Wei grunted after seeing these six.

"This is not good news for us," commented the clone, and he had to agree. These six creatures were the leaders of the Innate Demon G.o.ds that were returning to the world. He could tell each was a 4-Star Primarch, but their potential allowed them to cultivate to 6-Star, an equivalent of an Eternal Powerhouse.

However, the balance mechanism had just given them some breathing room, and it would aggravate the situation if the Myriad Emperor World suddenly had six new Eternal Powerhouses.

"It's best to seal them and delay their growth and return," suggested the clone. The revival of the Innate Demon G.o.d was a major issue that could even influence the upper dimension. However, it was indeed an inappropriate time for them to show up, even if only six of them.

"However, if I take action, it will alert the people who took the bait."

"I'll send an order to the others to take action,"

said w.a.n.g Wei calmly. The fact these people did not do anything stupid showed they still respected his reign, so it was no problem to mobilize them. With a wave of his hand, talismans flew to different corners of the world.

A few seconds afterward, powerful auras appeared above the sky. With the exception of Xu s.h.i.+, who a First-Cla.s.s Insurgent replaced, everybody showed up-including the two from the Sea Race.

Without saying much, they rushed to the designated area and sealed the nurturing place of these new Innate Demon G.o.ds. Afterward, they returned to their cultivation as if nothing had happened. Even Huo Fenghuang and Ao Shen acted similarly despite being greedy for these creatures' bloodlines.

The panicked people received no information or announcement, putting many people on edge.

"Go placate Primordial Desolate," said w.a.n.g Wei.

"He should be on edge ever since he heard the news about my injury, and with our actions, we don't want him to act out."

"Alright."

w.a.n.g Wei wanted to return to his retreat, but the former Insurgent who replaced Xu s.h.i.+ came to see him. His purpose was simple: to apologize that the Headmistress could not appear since she was in deep seclusion. w.a.n.g Wei was understanding and would not fault him or the Academy for such a minor thing. A few minutes later, the clone returned and told him he made a wise move since the Primordial G.o.d was indeed on the edge after seeing his kind being sealed.

Twenty more years pa.s.sed, and the palpitating tension surrounding the world increased daily.

The world's upper echelon deemed such tension a good thing, so they remained silent and encouraged it, forcing their disciples or underlings to train even harder.

Then, when everybody thought the situation was about to explode, a sound echoed throughout the entire world. It only took a moment, but people soon identified it as guqin and immediately searched for its source or origin.

Finally, all eyes rested on the Academy.

I'm open to suggestions.)
