Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1017 Caught Fish

Chapter 1017 Caught Fish

1017 Caught Fish

After receiving her award, Xu s.h.i.+ played the song a second time, but this time, the guqin was accompanied by her beautiful voice. People immediately knew the song had accompanying words, so they listened.

Visions flashed above the sky as her voice echoed throughout Heaven and Earth. Just like the guqin piece, the song's words perfectly encapsulated the history and zeitgeist of the Myriad Emperor World.

Once Xu s.h.i.+ finished, she received more merit, but the Eye of Heavenly Dao was long gone and did not reappear.

Western Continent:

Feng Heng opened his eyes after experiencing the journey that was this song and its vocals. He looked at the Central Continent, focusing on the Academy:

"A song dedicated to the world? No, it is a song that can perfectly represent its history and people. Donor Xu s.h.i.+ is truly a talented Empress,"

he muttered before a glint flashed in his eyes.

"Since the world can have its representative song, can it also have a scripture of the same kind?"

As soon as this idea came to mind, he could not remove it. So, he sent his congratulations to Xu s.h.i.+ before entering a seclusion. He wanted to see if he could write a scripture that could embody the essence of the Myriad Emperor World.

Feng Heng was not the only person with such an idea. After people realized Xu s.h.i.+'s achievement, people immediately thought about imitating or replicating her success. The top Taoist factions had the same idea as Feng Heng, wis.h.i.+ng to write a scripture that perfectly represented the world.

Some people wished to create a painting or piece of calligraphy with the same effect. Such development was not something only cultivators did, but even mortals partic.i.p.ated. Over the years, arts and crafts have entered a golden age, birthing many talented mortals. These talents knew the song's appearance was an opportunity and one they had a chance to partake in.

In the Northern Continent, Ao Shen saw the benefits of that song: he knew it was an excellent method to condense the overall cohesion of humanity and the world. So, he wanted his own demon song for the demon race. Sadly, things like art and craft were not things their kind was particularly skilled at. So he needed some help and time to prepare.

After the song, the Enlightening Temple became even more critical as arts and crafts received another boost in their development.

Heavenly Court:

w.a.n.g Wei calmly watched the change of the world.

"It should be about time," he muttered.

"Yes."

He used his authority in the Dream World to record Xu s.h.i.+'s song before continuing his retreat.

Five years later, he was forcefully awakened as his clone told him there were intruders.

"What's the situation?"

"Nine intruders," replied the clone. "1 Eternal, 2 Pseudo Eternal, and 3 First Cla.s.s and 2 Immortal Sovereign."

"Basically, five Eternal Powerhouses: this lineup seemed a bit exaggerated." He expected the leaked news to bring people, but not so many powerhouses.

"Some people have intervened."

"Who? Wait, let me guess, the Commerce Hub."

"That's right," nodded the clone. "They've learned of the Heavenly Court and your curse on the position. They are using these p.a.w.ns to test you."

w.a.n.g Wei smiled. After news about the court leaked to the Commerce Hub from the Star Beast World, he expected some of these people to move and has been waiting for them.

"With these people, I have a justification for directly attacking the Commerce Hub."

Although he did not need a reason, it would help in the transition period. After all, he understood that order and credibility are two of the most important things for people doing business.

"What do you want me to do? Seal or immediately kill them?"

"No, fight with them and delay for a while. I want to see how some of these Eternal Powerhouses will react and whether we can draw morebehind-the-scenes individuals."

"As you wish."

After the clone disappeared, someone else appeared next to w.a.n.g Wei- w.a.n.g Ju. He had to prepare in case someone saw through his clone and attacked his main body.

"Are you sure my injury did not affect your strength?"

"No, everything was fine."

"Interesting." He realized the version of the Lord Shadow technique that his ancestor gave him was a high-level Source Technique after seeing w.a.n.g Ju's situation. He wanted to learn something from it but ended up with nothing.

However, he also realized that higher cultivators do have some understanding of [Existence] even without walking the Eternal Path. Otherwise, this technique should not have prevented w.a.n.g Ju from being affected whatsoever by his injury.

w.a.n.g Wei focused on the screen before him, watching everything unfold from a distance.

...

Today was a regular day for the citizens of the Myriad Emperor World, or it should have been.

People thought they could continue their usual routine, a sign of the peaceful time they lived in.

However, something happened that soon reminded them of the world's cruelty.

Nine powerful auras manifested out of nowhere above the sky, and they did not waste time in greetings and immediately attacked the world, most likely trying to deal a devastating attack on the people and the world as a weakening tactic.

Panic ensued before a s.h.i.+eld blocked all these nine attacks.

Then, the sound of people praising and praying to the Heavenly Emperor resonated worldwide.

Then, out of nowhere, the people began to sing the world song harmoniously, forming a weird aura around the Myriad Emperor World.

The nine individuals who orchestrated these terrorist attacks began to communicate after their first attack failed.

"Did anyone sense the presence of the target?"

asked a man in the front, who appeared to be the leader.

"No, I didn't sense anything." The others agreed, and one person added, "This s.h.i.+eld should be the natural defense of the world he left before his injury."

"So, do we continue the mission?" Everyone looked at the leader-the only true Eternal in the group, and he was not an ordinary one at that.

"I still think we are being too careful," commented one of the Pseudo Eternals. "There is no way someone can be so powerful." He believes the curse resulted from some artifact or unknown power that slipped from the upper dimension.

"You can let pride and arrogance cloud your judgment, but I won't make such a mistake,"

responded the leader. "The plan will continue as normal. Remember, there is still a high chance that the other Eternal Powerhouses will intervene to protect their home."

"What's with that song they're chanting?"

"Don't know, but it's probably a precursor to a Source Technique."

They could see the song was gathering a unique power that resembled the Power of Heaven and Earth but on a much larger scale.

"We need to hurry up to prevent more variables."

Their conversation was fast and brief, and the leader sent his orders. However, before they could act, a projection of empty, vast s.p.a.ce manifested before him.

"A Void Battlefield?" His face changed because the information he received was wrong. According to the people organizing this attack, the Dao Opening Sect has been searching for the material to create a Void Battlefield. However, due to their manipulations, they have not acquired the truly important parts. In other words, they should not have one.

The leader wanted to react, but he was forcefully swallowed by the battlefield, where the clone waited for him. After seeing w.a.n.g Wei, he remained calm.

Many preparations were made for this battlefield, and after countless a.n.a.lyses, it was determined that the [First Heavenly Emperor] was baiting people to attack him. They still chose to attack because it was determined he was indeed injured and weakened.

As such, the leader expected he might encounter the Heavenly Emperor, but he was satisfied as long as it was an injured or weakened version.

"What an interesting group," commented w.a.n.g Wei's clone with some surprise. "A very powerful Anti-Divination Artifact even blessed you."

He knew the Commerce Hub had a deep foundation but did not expect such a level. The artifact almost worked on the clone's limited powers. However, after a brief a.n.a.lysis, it's understandable why the hub would have such an artifact.

They hold records of exchanges with thousands of worlds. Such information is extremely valuable in the right hand, so they need a way to protect their information from leaking into the hands of Diviners.

"So, you're the first Heavenly Emperor," said the leader. "You can call me the Fist Saint Emperor."

"First Heavenly Emperor? Is this what the Endless Void refers to me as? Hum, I must admit, I like the t.i.tle, but you guys could be a little more creative. I suggest [Superior Heavenly Emperor] or [Supreme Heavenly Emperor]."

"It seems your reputation precedes you," commented the Fist Saint Emperor.

"Reputation? Now, I'm interested in how the rest of the world sees me."

"Carefree, easygoing, unparalleled talent and wisdom, and more importantly, a grand arrogance hidden under a facade of a smile."

"Interesting," uttered w.a.n.g Wei. "You guys should have overturned everything I did during Gu Xuan's Trial to get this conclusion. What I did to the Spirit Genesis Sect should also have leaked."

"Yes, so you're very famous in certain circles."

"Is that so? Although I tell myself I don't like fame or fortune, I also know deep down this was a lie.

So, I'm happy people know me," said w.a.n.g Wei with a smile. But soon, it faded; he was changing his face as easily as switching one mask for another.

"Enough with the chit-chat," he said with a somber voice. "You little rats have dispersed my peace, and I do not appreciate that. So, don't take offense to what is about to happen."
