Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1478

1478 The Battle Of Time Wielders Begin

Void Battlefield:

Maitreya and Supreme Unity's vessels were crashing, but suddenly stopped. They simultaneously checked on the Eternal Ascension World, watching as Wang Wei flew toward Time Eater.

"It has begun," Maitreya said with a smile. To be exact, Monk Wuzhi was the one who smiled, but his demeanor or mannerism was that of his teacher. "What? Unwilling now that you're about to lose the game."

"No one knows who will be the final winner until the end," Seven Cauldron replied coldly.

"You have lost this game, and you know it," Monk Wuzhi said, glaring at the cracks in Seven Cauldron's face. Wang Wei has done many things that he does not know whether they were useful, but they are. For example, he killed Seven Cauldron's son, the First Sun, out of paranoia and to prevent Supreme Unity from having another vessel. This was the best choice he could have made.

Being a vessel is complex, especially for higher-dimensional beings like themselves. Not everyone can be a vessel. Feng Heng and Wuzhi became Maitreya's vessels due to their high spiritual attainments and their deep karma with her. Supreme Unity chose Seven Cauldron because she was his descendant and was created by him.

However, after pushing her body and soul to the limit, Seven Cauldron had reached her limit; she could no longer sustain Supreme Unity's essence. Normally, the First Sun would have been his backup, just like Monk Wuzhi was for Maitreya, but Wang Wei had the latter assassinated, leaving Supreme Unity with no choice but to try his best to preserve Seven Cauldron for as long as possible.

Seven Cauldron stared at him without uttering another word. However, Monk Wuzhi did not care. "What a terrible fate that poor little girl has endured. All she wanted was your approval." After knowing the connection between the two, Maitreya checked on Seven Cauldron's past.

That's when she learned Supreme Unity created Seven Cauldrons during his search for his transcendent path. The resulting experiment granted Seven Cauldron such a pure power of Yin-Yang that her sex was fluid, as she could change between man and woman. However, the fact that she could not control this power as a child also meant she was a failed experiment, so Supreme Unity essentially abandoned her after a few million years of observation, moving on to the next experiment.

Seven Cauldron had no direct relationship with her father until the Moon Council. Before that, she tried her best to become powerful enough to gain his approval, but sadly, after becoming a Paragon, her talent had dried up, and she made zero progress. So, when Supreme Unity called her to join the castle, she readily agreed despite knowing he probably only needed someone he could control.

Seven Cauldron thought they would gain Supreme Unity's acknowledgement as long as they did a good enough job at the council, but the next time they met, their father had fused with Heavenly Dao, becoming even colder and more indifferent.

"After everything, her fate is to be used by you before being discarded. In the end, the poor lad could not escape the Sea of Suffering known as this world," Monk Wuzhi sighed.

"Are you done?" Seven Cauldron asked coldly.

"Yes, and it's time to end this." Maitreya knew she had made a mistake in how she handled everything. However, a small part of her is not sorry for the decision she made. The sense of dread she felt after realizing that Time Eater would bring catastrophe to the world is something she would never forgive. The only reason she regrets her decision to put all her focus into searching the Infinite Trichiliocosm is that she failed to find the source of that danger.

Regardless of how she felt about that decision or the consequences, Maitreya knew she had to focus and ensure she made no mistakes from now on. So, she glanced at Seven Cauldron — no, Supreme Unity — and rushed in. She had one goal: to force this vessel to its end. Supreme Unity knew what fate awaited this vessel and tried to turn the situation, but it was useless. Even his desperate attempt to take Maitreya's vessel with him failed.

As Maitreya watched, Seven Cauldron's body disappeared, followed by her soul and [Existence]. She sighed in relief. Then, a look of grief flashed in her eyes: "I'm sorry, disciple, but I must also sacrifice you." Her only objective for preserving the vessel was to help Wang Wei with his plan to destroy the lock.

…

Wang Wei arrived before the seal. He saluted the guards before looking at the enormous creature before him. Two enormous eyes opened, glancing at him.

"So, it has finally come to this," Time Eater said. His body slowly reduced in size as he transformed into his human shape.

"It appears so," Wang Wei nodded.
