Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1414

Unedited Chapter

-----

Of the 3 million bases, only 333 remained, meaning the number of mortals that died is simply incalculable. As Area 0 of this plague, Wang Wei was expecting this outcome and even worse.

"You’re alive," Wang Wei stated as he gazed at Du Cong.

"Unfortunately," Du Cong replied in a hoarse voice with clothes splattered in blood, listless eyes, and unkempt hair. Suddenly, he thought of something and stood up. He rushed toward Wang Wei and knelt on the ground: "Great Guardian, you’re a mighty cultivator with godly power. You must be able to do it, right? After all, we are mortals, so it should be easy to bring them back, right?"

"I can’t," Wang Wei said, shaking his head. Du Cong’s body paused before he asked in gritted teeth: "Can’t or won’t."

"Can’t," Wang Wei replied truthfully. "The person who killed them is much more powerful than me, and that’s not to mention Samsara is currently isolated, so I couldn’t even find their souls if I wanted to."

Du Cong let go of his clothes before sitting loathingly on the floor. His last hope was gone, and the truth punched harder than the power armor their civilization had built. Du Cong could no longer help it and started bailing on the ground like a baby.

Wang Wei was waiting for him to finish, and he had the intention to wait a few hours. However, he sensed despair, overwhelming Du Cong with each passing second. ’Survivor guilt, huh?’ he thought before finally speaking:

"Do you intend to continue your job?" Du Cong’s crying abated slowly until he was silent, but he did not look at Wang Wei or move from his crying position.

"I’m about to move the survivors," Wang Wei continued. "Your new location will have countless members of your species. I need someone to continue leading them and finish what this place started. So, I need to know whether I can count on you or if I need to find someone else."

Du Cong looked at the sky for a few seconds before standing up and fixing up his attire. He bowed politely to Wang Wei before walking to his post. ’It’s better to be taciturn than give up in despair,’ Wang Wei thought before helping. He spent three days reassuring the survivors, but the primary reason it took so long was because he held the grandest funeral for all the departed.

Wang Wei even built a monument that contained all the names of the fallen, both in the final plague or the previous civilization wars. Finally, once that was dealt with, he put the remaining base in his personal dimension before returning to the Dao Burial Ground, taking away all his people.

Central Origin Realm:

As soon as Wang Wei arrived in that area, he activated a token that teleported him to another dimension. The first thing he experienced was chains of mountains and islands floating in the air, forming a ring. The beautiful and familiar sight brought Wang Wei a sense of peace and calmness he hadn’t felt since ascending.

"They should have kept the massive chains," Wang Wei commented. The main difference between this place and the lower dimension was not the vastness but the lack of chains connecting the different mountains."

"They were there long ago but became a liability at one point and were removed," said an elderly woman with a bright smile.

"You are?" Wang Wei asked the woman leading the delegation.

"I’m Grand Elder Yan Xue," she said before introducing the man next to her: "This is this generation’s sect master, Yu Cai."

Wang Wei cupped his hands and bowed to them: "It’s an honor."

"The honor is all ours," Yu Cai said with a smile, and he meant those words. Although he hadn’t met Wang Wei, he knew of the latter’s achievements outside and how capable he was through their communication that often used Red Mask as a medium.

"We’ve re-created your Transcending Fate Mountain from the news we gathered about you. I hope you don’t mind."

"No, it’s fine. I think I need something familiar about now," Wang Wei nodded.

"That’s good to hear. This is your official token," Yu Cai said as he handed him a purple token with the character seed.

"This is?"

"Your official title is the sect’s Primal Seed, but we can change it to something else if you need."

"No, but I’m curious about the different divisions."
