Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1398

"What do you think the catastrophe will be?" Wang Wei asked. His ancestor was wise and insightful, so he wanted to see if he could get some information or inspiration from him. "I know it’s related to the River of Time, but I can’t deduce what form it will take."

"My theory is it will be similar to the ultimate taboo," Qiyuan stated. "Past, present, and future — all condensed into one place: the Eternal Ascension World. We will have to face powerhouses from past ages like the Essence Age, Lost Age, and maybe as far as the Genesis Age."

"You can’t be serious," Yan Hai stated. "Such an event would fundamentally alter the primordial timeline. Grand Dao would never allow this."

"I agree," Wang Wei added.

"Not if the Eternal Ascension World is isolated into a Time Bubble," Qiyuan stated. "By then, whatever happens in this world will have a limited effect on the Primordial Timeline, just like we isolate Time Marks to erase someone from the past."

"This still seems far-fetched," Yan Hai stated.

"I also agree. Where did this come from?" Wang Wei asked. He knew what terrifying creatures existed in these ages. According to his theory, Pangu might be the reason the Prehistoric World is protected, and he most likely existed in one of these ages.

"You remember how I predicted that many of these ancient and powerful creatures did not completely die and were waiting for an opportunity to return to the world?" Qiyuan asked.

"Are you saying this catastrophe is their chance?" Yan Hai asked.

"It’s one thing if only a few of them wish to return, but if they want a grand event with everyone returning, they’ll need a world that is the Destiny Center of the universe as an anchor."

"So, they were behind the scenes of the Second Origin War?" Wang Wei caught on to what Qiyuan was insinuating.

"Yes," he nodded. "Grand Dao never wanted these flawed methods to become common. So, why did it succeed in the end? These people paid a lot to ensure Grand Dao compromised."

"So, all the flawed or incomplete methods in the ultimate taboo might have been from these creatures," Wang Wei commented. "That also implies that there were many half-step transcendent powerhouses and creatures in the Old Ages."

Wang Wei was slightly shocked by this revelation. He knew some people successfully walked the transcendent paths before the Ultimate Taboo, but he did not think they were so common. However, as he looked at his ancestors’ response, he realized they knew this truth already.

"It’s not new information," Qiyuan said as he saw Wang Wei’s look. "We even know the Chaos Universe produced two True Transcendents."

"Two of them?" Wang Wei asked with shining eyes. "Can you tell me more?"

"No problem," Qiyuan replied. "We know the first one appeared in the Genesis Age, and it was a strange and unknown creature. According to my analysis, it was relatively easy to become Half-Step Transcendents, as you called it, and some creatures were probably even born with talents or skills on that level.

"Then, the first True Transcendent appeared, and Grand Dao saw the benefit of cultivating such a cultivator. It began to encourage all lives to grow and reach that stage. Unfortunately, the creatures in that era were born too powerful and had no motivation to improve.

"Grand Dao eliminated them and started over. The Primordial Chaos Age was the era of Chaos Demon Gods. Powerful creatures were born with great talent and bloodline, but they still had to work hard to improve themselves. Things did not come too easy for them.

"The Chaos Demon Gods did something terrible, leading to the Lost Age. Whatever happened in that age made Grand Dao realize that not all transcendent paths were good for the universe and started putting restrictions."

"No wonder everything is so strict now — our predecessors screwed us," Wang Wei smiled wryly. He shook his head, deciding not to dwell too much on this. "The next age should be the Essence Age, right? What happened at that time?"

"That’s when the second True Transcendents appeared," Qiyuan stated. "We know he was human and a body refiner. However, his ascension did not benefit the Chaos Universe as much as the first. Apparently, his flesh absorbed too much energy from the Chaos Universe for his final sublimation, and the return did not please Grand Dao as much as the first time."

"So, that’s why the Essence Age ended and more restrictions were placed on body refiners," Wang Wei nodded.

"That’s right," Qiyuan nodded before continuing. "The next age is the Soul Age, but —"

"Wait, not the Paragon Age?"

"Let me finish."

"He has this bad habit of cutting people off," Yan Hai complained, making Wang Wei smile in embarrassment.

"The Soul Age was too short, so most people do not know about it or consider it part of the early parts of the Paragon Age," Qiyuan stated. Wang Wei nodded before listening intently.

"A genius quickly rose in that age, reaching the level of becoming a True Transcendent. However, they failed, and the backlash is why many Chaos Worlds have lost their Tier 10 Soul Path."

Wang Wei’s eyes shone as these words solved a major puzzle he wished to know. "Do we know what happened to the Soul Transcendent? Why did they fail?"

"Do you think they can survive perfectly intact after Grand Dao "eliminated" them? No, they are just remnants, even echoes of their former self. The catastrophe conflict will be their attempt to take over this world and use the resources to return to their peak, _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
