Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1338

Chapter 1338 Surrounded

All the moons felt a chill down their backs. Anyone else could have said these words, and they would have scoffed or looked at the person with disdain. However, the person who threatened them was a Dao Overlord. Their factions had already gotten their hands on most of the things Wang Wei did in the lower dimension from the people who ascended, so they knew how capable he was. Adding the fact they suffered a loss with their first interaction with them, that threat was no joke.

So, they paused and looked at each other, thinking whether improving their relationship to deal with such a threat was best. Sadly, this thought wasn't fully formed when someone took action. Five Feathers opened a space tear and left the Lawless Zone. She directly teleported back to her territory; she was so fast that you would think she was running away. Then, as soon as she arrived at her palace, she activated the formations in her cultivation room and left a projection to meet her people.

Everyone looked at this calmly and left one by one, leaving only Time Eater. He looked at these people and shook his head. He knew they were not reliable, so he viewed them as pawns that could be discarded at any time. His vision penetrated the distance, and he glanced at the desolate area where Wang Wei had his ceremony.

'He used the Merit System to give Heavenly Dao a fighting chance — what a brilliant move,' Time Eater analyzed. His eyes squinted: 'By now, he should have realized his real threat was Supreme Unity, so his focus will be on that, which should give me more time.' Countless thoughts flashed in his mind.

'No, that would have been the case had he not realized my power. Now, he must see me as a threat. So, he'll deal with me in two ways: he'll hide and wait until he's dealt with the others, or I'll be one of the first to be attacked.

'Although he tried to hide it, I detected the aura of Taboo from him, so his strength should be on par with Paragons. However, he couldn't have become strong enough to deal with me. So, his best approach should be to facilitate help.'

Time Eater looked in the distance. He teleported home, and immediately, his army marched out. One group headed to the Origin Seal Continent, and the other to the Dao Opening Sect.

As far as Time Eater is concerned, there are a few people who can cause him harm in this world, and Wang Wei should have access to two — Wu Hong and Yan Hai. So, he sent his army to threaten the lineages of these people and force them to hesitate to move. It's also a way for Time Eater to monitor their actions and detect in advance whether they will ignore the safety of their people and kill him.

Origin Seal Continent:

Wang Wei opened his eyes and exhaled. Things proceeded way smoother than he anticipated. He weakened Five Feathers and Jimin. Five Feathers is expected, but as for Paragon Jimin, well, Wang Wei had no choice. The latter was an extremely ambitious person and held a noble status/destiny as this era's First Paragon. Wang Wei feared he would take some of his destiny as the [Era Son] and used his status to gather more people on his side.

Although Wang Wei did not care much about this destiny and after his actions, Heavenly Dao should have understood he was the best chance at surviving; he did not want to take any risks. After all, there is still the possibility that Heavenly Dao will spread a large net, trying to cultivate more people to help it. Wang Wei wanted all the luck, destiny, and blessing for himself, so Jimin had to go. The time it takes the latter to return to his peak and even deal with the repercussions of using that curse is enough for Wang Wei to spread his fame, gather more people, and guarantee his status as an [Era Son].

'Although things looked bleak now, many of my previous plans can still work. I only need to put more focus on dealing with Supreme Unity,' Wang Wei analyzed. After what happened, he realized his mistake — he should never have relied too much on Maitreya. At least, he should have expected her failure. Unfortunately, he placed all his focus on the parasites while believing she was more than capable of balancing him.

"You're back. Good."

Wang Wei looked at Yan Hai and asked: "What was the result?"

"Everything is fine on the sect's side," Yan Hai replied. "As for the other? Well, it has become a thousand times more challenging to contact them in Limbo, and from what they said, they can't revive now."

"Challenging to contact? Meaning it's still possible?" Wang Wei asked.

"Yes, but with a price."

"It's good to hear," Wang Wei nodded. One of his plans was to bring about the return of the people in Limbo in advance, but now, he had to abandon this plan. Such a major shift to the plan should have dealt a significant blow to his plans, but he was adaptable.
