Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1462

Chapter 1462 Someone Made The First Move

Wang Wei continued reviewing the knowledge or information he received from Grandma Ju's soul. Many had restrictions, and although he could remove them, it was best to do it slowly to prevent accidents. The All-Seeing Temple has existed for a long time, and its influence is known throughout most of the Chaos Universe. The amount of information they've had access to is unimaginable.

'They will be another source of information,' Wang Wei contemplated before continuing. 'These guys are filthy rich.' The temple is known for asking exorbitant prices, allowing them to amass a fortune during their long existence. 'Why hasn't anyone slaughtered these guys?'

Their temple only had one Primal Paragon, so why hasn't anyone been interested in their wealth or information? 'If it was before the Ultimate Taboo, reputation could protect them, but now…' The temple has helped many people, so when in danger, they could have asked for help, and numerous factions would gladly help to repay their karma. However, after the Ultimate Taboo, the game has changed, and there are beings who could ignore both the physical and societal rules.

Wang Wei searched the memories and found something. It's not even a secret as the All-Seeing Temple released the news as a deterrent to the world. Their temple has something called the [Fate Ring of Punishment]. In their early days, their founder knew they wanted to build a faction for Diviners or Seers from across the Chaos Universe.

The founder also knew that even Paragon Realm Diviners had to pay a price for certain divination, so they created this fate ring to bear the brunt of most backlash. Over the years, the fate ring has absorbed backlash from countless seers, turning into a potent [Fate Weapon] that even transcendents must be weary of.

'Punishment from fate,' Wang Wei muttered. He reckoned these half-step transcendents were not so much afraid of the power of this fate ring but the implication. If they get hit by it, they might survive, but the thing would leave a mark on them — a mark that the River of Fate would use to control or mess with them.

This fate ring operated similar to how Karmic Sins used to during the Mortal Stage of cultivation, except at an even higher level. These half-step transcendents have broken off from the rules and restrictions of the Chaos Universe, so the last thing they would want was to garner the ire of the River of Fate.

'And it's not just the River of Fate,' Wang Wei pondered. 'There is also the Fate Cardinal.' He would not be surprised if, in the history of the All-Seeing Temple, a transcendent has tried something, and the Fate Cardinal used that as an excuse to turn them into a pawn.

'However, this ring is good news for me,' Wang Wei thought with shining eyes. While the backlash was a punishment to most others, it was the best nourishment for someone like him — especially if he was prepared. 'However, I'm not the only one.'

Wang Wei could think of a few others who could ignore this fate backlash, including other Fate Seeds. However, his greatest worry is the person with the Fate Grand Dao Position. 'The question is: why haven't those guys taken action yet?' He did not believe he was the only one thirsting for the temple's information network or their wealth.

'I should be on the lookout,' Wang Wei decided. He finished her memories before coming up with a preliminary plan on how to convincingly map out Grandma Ju's rise in the temple without suspicion. She had a master, who was a Supreme Seer, hence why she was the one granted the opportunity to attend the trial. However, the temple is like any other faction with people, meaning competition and strife are abundant. Grandma Ju might be punished once her mission fails, making it harder for Wang Wei's plan to come to fruition. 'Something should happen in this trial that is valuable enough to use as information. Let's use that to offset the mission's failure,' he thought.

Wang Wei took one last glance at Grandma Ju, checking for any problems with the artifact and the fusion. He checked his connection to the Artifact Spirit since it would be the medium through which they could communicate. 'Everything looks set,' he muttered before disappearing from the temple. Grandma Ju continued his actions of weakening herself for divination before rushing to the Life Tower to save herself.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei returned to the Refining Tower to make the second [Existence Observing Artifact]. Fifteen hundred years passed, and the artifact had long been refined. Wang Wei was using the Dao Tower and the Battle Tower to improve his skill. He suddenly stopped as he sensed something. He did not hesitate to absorb his clone before leaving the tower.

There were plenty of participants, and there remained another 1500 years before the trial officially ended. Most of the Eternal Ascension World's participants left after Wang Wei's warnings, but a few stayed for different reasons. Wang Wei looked in Emperor Kong's home, which was a scroll library.
