Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1469

1469 The Trial's Aftermath

Red Mist Forbidden Zone:

Heavenly Book opened his eyes, immediately flipping through his book. Pages after pages were filled, and Heavenly Book every word with great concentration. He then chuckled: "So, he chose love instead of being a pawn? I want to say that was predictable, but I didn't think he had it in him."

Heavenly Book did not have all the information about Tian Xuan, but from the crumbs he deduced, he thought the latter would compete with Wang Wei due to his sense of inferiority. He believed he would want to prove himself to be better than Wang Wei, thus soothing the voice in the back of his mind that was constantly telling him he was not good enough.

'I made the right choice by not intervening,' Heavenly Book thought. After Tian Xuan's defection, Grand Dao has to rely more on him; in other words, his value was just raised in the eyes of Grand Dao. Heavenly Book chuckled as he also understood why Grand Dao insisted on him intervening. The latter must have felt something about Tian Xuan and wanted assurance.

The book's new update soon finished, and Heavenly Book analyzed all the latest information. 'The most crucial news is the fact that the Eternal Ascension World will soon be accessible. There is also a chance I won't need to fulfill the deal with Supreme Unity. However, I can use it as a trump card if necessary.'

Heavenly Book stood up. Supreme Unity's situation was not ideal, and now there were other ways to access the Eternal Ascension World, which the Heavenly Book wanted to prepare. 'Now that he's suffering, there is a chance he might be desperate and try to contact or attack me. So, I need to be careful when I move.'

He opened a portal to a Chaos World called Furious Dao World, directly above a man whose aura oozed sadness and desperation. The man, dressed in all black, including black fingerpaints, was named Ling Li, and he was cursed to be disregarded all his life. As soon as he was born, his parents forgot his existence. No one can see or touch him, and he cannot do the same.

Ling Li has lived numerous lives, but it's always the same. He cannot be seen or touched; this phenomenon is not just for mortals but cultivators alike. No, his curse was more horrifying than that.

Ling Li wanted a cure to his curse, so he cultivated to the peak of the Paragon Realm before searching for an answer. He did then realize to the extent he was invisible — the extent he was ignored. The Book of Life forgot his name, meaning not only does he have no status in the world, he cannot even die. Fate does not have a string for him, meaning his fate should be his own, but it's not. Time cannot wash away his youth or longevity.

Everything in the world has discarded Ling Li, except for one thing — the Grand Dao Source. His connection to it and his ability to cultivate it are his only sources of tetheredness to this universe. However, Ling Li has discovered that even such a truth was slowly changing. Although it's really slow, he knows it is only a matter of time before the Dao also abandons him.

Heavenly Book appeared above Ling Li, and with a wave of his hand, the depressed young man turned into a black coat. "Can this thing be considered a failure?" Heavenly Book created this artifact to avoid Grand Dao's protection. He called it the Heaven Disregard Robe, and it's significant to his plan.

'It will need a significant boost before it can be complicated. However, it's enough now to hide in front of these half-baked transcendents,' he thought before putting the robe over his shoulder. Heavenly Book immediately entered a state in which all things in existence instinctively or naturally disregard his existence.

'Let's move!'

…

The All-Seeing Temple was an artifact shaped like a gray temple with motifs of the River of Fate floating in Primordial Chaos. Today, the Destiny Council — a Primal, Supreme, and First Class Seer meeting — occurred due to Grandma Ju's return.

The meeting had a strange atmosphere, especially if viewed from an outside perspective. The Primal Seer, a young woman with gray hair and a pure white robe, sat on a cushion. On her right and left stood five people in gray robes, followed by another group in black. Although everyone stood in line on the right and left of the Primal Seer, there was a slight gap between the grey and black seers.

Meanwhile, Grandma Ju was at the end of the lines, in the middle of the room about 20 meters from the Primal Seer, kneeling on the ground with her head on the floor.

"I did not expect the Eternal Ascension World to be so prepared," the Primal Seer uttered in a melodious voice full of vicissitude.

"Temple Lord, I have done my best," Grandma Ju stated.

"I can see that," the Primal Seer nodded. "Although you failed your mission, you have brought valuable news. This merit will cancel your demerit."

"Thank you, Temple Lord, for your immense generosity," Grandma Ju swiftly said. The Primal Seer nodded before looking at a middle-aged man in grey to her left: "You don't have to say anything. It's good that we have a new First Class Seer in the temple."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth before nodding. The Primal Seer then looked at a grey-robed woman on her right and said, "You did an excellent job cultivating such a seer for the temple. You know where to receive your reward."
