Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1496

[Unedited Chapter]

Wang Wei lay his head on Wu Hong's lap and she gently played with his hair. He finished recounting everything he had experienced. "See how much I have suffered?"

"I understand," she nodded. "Any relationship with Heavenly Dao is almost like a curse."

"So?" Wang Wang Wei asked.

"So what?"

"Why don't you rush over and teach that woman, Si Meihui, a lesson?" Wang Wei asked.

"You should avenge your own grievance."

"Don't you know I'm a feminist, so I don't hit women?" Wang Wei asked.

"Say that to Liu Meixiu, Mo Xingyun, Tong Ruobing —"

"Alright, alright."

"And, wouldn't being a feminist mean you have no problem hitting women and men?" Wu Hong countered.

"Now, we suddenly care about the definition of words," Wang Wei rolled his eyes. "If the situation were reversed, you would expect me to beat the other guy."

"Of course. Wouldn't you want to show me how strong and masculine you are?" Wang Wei replied, asking with an innocent voice and eyes, making Wang Wei's eyes twitch.

"Fine, you win. I don't know why I tried to argue with you in the first place. I thought I was the two-faced one in the relationship."

"Little brat, you're still a few epochs too young to argue with me," Wu Hong sneered. As soon as she uttered these words, she regretted them when she saw the glint in Wang Wei's eyes. She knew he was about to make a sexual innuendo or joke about their age difference.

"Wash your words," she immediately warned.

"You're no fun," Wang Wei scoffed. There is a saying back on Earth that marrying a daughter-in-law three years older than the groom will bring prosperity to the family. He was lucky to find a daughter-in-law billions of years older, but he couldn't take full advantage of this fact. How egregious!

"Now it's your turn," Wang Wei changed the subject. "What did you experience inside the fog?"

"Things started as you said. After sitting down, the materials appeared, including a few not included in your experience." Wang Wei nodded. Wu Hong was a former Primal, so it's expected that the process of establishing a [Transcendent Foundation] would be different or more challenging.

"The process was more dangerous than expected. Grand Dao's consciousness descended, trying to force me to experience a tribulation for the process."

"So, it has started regulating these foundations?" Wang Wei asked.

"It appeared so."

"It makes sense since it regulates everything. Continue."

"I finished the process and tested my new strength. But then, I realized I was sealed," Wu Hong continued. "And before you ask, yes, I'm more powerful than before."

"I'll catch up and surpass you soon," Wang Wei said through gritted teeth.

"It's good to have dreams," Wu Hong lightly tapped his face. "Now that I had more time, I started working on the Twelve and Thirteen Foundation. However, as soon as I closed my eyes, I realized I could remember some events of the taboo."

"Oh?"

"In the last trial, I met a woman standing in this white space that seemed to be the origin of everything. She first showed me the alternate timeline you mentioned."

"Really?" Wang Wei was immediately intrigued. The alternative timeline he saw focused mostly on him, and the Wu Hong he saw was already grown and established. So, he did not know much about her.

"According to that timeline, I should have ascended during the Devil Race's War of Conquest."

"That's even earlier than the First Origin War," Wang Wei commented.

"That's right. The destiny to kill the Primogenitor Devil was mind after he had made my life a living hell," Wu Hong explained. "The woman then revealed she was a version of me, and she cared deeply about losing one of her disciples, so she rewrote the timeline to erase the latter's existence."

"Erased? Why not just change it?"

"I had the same question, and she said the disciple was the karmic manifestation of her pain and suffering. She saw countless timelines, and in all of them, the latter dies, and she suffers devastating emotional pain. So, she took the opportunity to erase her."

"That sounds harsh," Wang Wei commented. He suddenly remembered the only time he saw lower-dimension Wu Hong cry. "But, what opportunity was she talking about?"

"I ask, but she only answered with a smile," Wu Hong shook her head.

"Of course she did," Wang Wei sighed. "What else?"

"I didn't just see the other timeline, but experienced it. I experienced all the trials and tribulations of the Devil Race Eradication, the First and Second Origin War, and the tribulation from our relationship."

Wang Wei was silent.
