Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1534

Chapter 1534: Pangu & The Prehistoric World

Wang Wei’s projection looked at the immense world that looked like a blue egg. He took a deep breath before descending. Wang Wei immediately felt a power scanning his body. The power detected his status as a former resident and allowed him entry. So, Wang Wei followed the karma line and instantly reached Earth.

The first sight that caught Wang Wei’s attention was both a surprise and expected. Dozens of spaceships flew from a port on Earth before flying deep into outer space. Wang Wei calmly looked at this planet that was both familiar and foreign.

’It’s been 25,000 years?’ Wang Wei thought as his eyes saw a brief history of the world before his disappearance. The catastrophe that killed him released spiritual energy into the Earth. However, the process was slow. It took more than a thousand years before someone could cultivate to Tier 4 or the Supernatural Realm.

Now, in the year 25,654 of the Evolution Calendar, cultivation and technology have developed at a rapid pace. Earthlings have developed various cultivation systems tailored to their respective cultures. The West has magic, genetic warriors, and even the Faith Path. The East has Immortal cultivation, Martial Arts, Way of Samurai, Yin-Yang Conjurers, and many more. The South has Spirit Manipulation, Ancestral Worship, Totem Warriors, and more. The South East has Buddhist and Hindu Cultivation systems and others.

’It’s a melting pot of cultures and ideas,’ Wang Wei commented. He found the Earth’s cultivation system beautiful. ’Something tells me that’s how the outside world would have been had it not been for Grand Dao’s strange xenophobia.’

Wang Wei looked at the development of humanity with a slight smile. The most powerful cultivators of the Terran Federation is only Tier 6, and they are currently fighting a civilization with a Tier 7 cultivator. However, Wang Wei did not worry about Terra since he could see their luck was prosperous.

’Now, what should I do?’ Wang Wei thought. His family and friends had long since departed. He could travel to the past to meet them, but he did not dare mess around with time in this place. As soon as he arrived, he sensed countless gazes fixed on him, and three of them made his spine shiver.

"Lord Hongjun, I think it’s time we have a conversation," Wang Wei said as he bowed politely. A portal manifested before him and Wang Wei stepped in. He found himself in a simple room in Hongjun’s Purple Heaven Palace.

Hongjun was an elderly man dressed in a light purple robe, with a butterfly-shaped jade pendant hanging from his side, a short white beard, and long white hair, his deep eyes reflecting the River of Fate.

"Please sit," Hongjun motioned to the cushion before him. Wang Wei thanked him before sitting down.

"I would offer tea, but you’re only a projection."

"If the tea has any benefit, I don’t mind taking it away with me," Wang Wei said, making Hongjun laugh.

"Sadly, nothing can easily leave this place," Hongjun said with a gentle smile. "You must have a lot of questions. Go ahead and ask."

"First, I want to know what it is you want me to protect," Wang Wei asked directly.

"That’s not an easy question to answer. Before I answer, can you tell me how much you know about the history of the Chaos Universe?"

"I’m not a historian or an expert, but I do know more than most," Wang Wei replied before telling him many things he knew, showing he knew a lot more information than regular Paragons. Of course, he hid many secrets as well. Perhaps Hongjun knew these secrets or didn’t care. Regardless, Wang Wei did not want to take the risk.

"You do know a lot. In that case, let’s start from the beginning," Hongjun said before waving his hand. The surroundings changed, showing a visual representation of history.

"At the beginning of Heaven and Earth, the world was in a state of transition between nothingness and existence. Grand Dao was young, so it created numerous creatures with the intention that they would help it complete the world."

Wang Wei saw a beautiful and voluptuous woman in a green robe, with a cold and indifferent expression slowly creating these weird shaped creatures. Wang Wei’s lips twitched when he realized this was the form that Grand Dao took.

"The first two creatures Grand Dao created were Perfection and Observer," Hongjun continued. Grand Dao took its time to mold two creatures. Perfection was a golden sphere, and Observer was a floating eye.

"Grand Dao spent eons discussing the creation of the world with these creatures. Perfection and Observer soon proved themselves talented in this area, especially Perfection. It had all the ideas on how to create a perfect world. Meanwhile, Observer recorded all the ideas, laws, and failed products of their discussions."

Wang Wei watched as Grand Dao sat before all these creatures, talking with them as if this was a sermon.

"It took a while, but Grand Dao soon realized Perfection’s plan was not feasible. The creation of a perfect world meant no room for growth, improvement, or development. Grand Dao did not know why, but it knew the world needed to evolve.

"What happened next is like most tales. Perfection could not accept its mother’s denial of its ideal, so it revolted. It convinced the other creatures to side with him by promising to perfect them. Grand Dao realized its mistake: it had given her children too much power."

Wang Wei watched as numerous creatures besieged Grand Dao, trying to eradicate her. He held his breath, listening deeply to every word.

"Grand Dao ran to her other child for help, but Observer refused to participate in this battle. It remained neutral and continued what he believed was his purpose to exist: record everything.

"Without any choice, Grand Dao had to find aid. She relied on the ideas for completing the word to create new children. No, it would be better to say she gave birth to generals." Wang Wei saw five humanoid figures slowly manifested.

"Meet Creation, Destruction, Time, Death, and her favorite, Fate," Hongjun continued. "She gave these generals immense power, but did not give them intelligence. They were nothing but programs dedicated to winning this war. Her plan worked."

Wang Wei watched as the five humanoid creatures with different colors systematically slaughtered all the creatures who rebelled against Grand Dao, including Perfection.

"Grand Dao won, and the first thing it did was create the first taboo: banning perfection. Its second action was to take control of the last variable in the world. However, before she could move, something unprecedented occurred.

"Observer used all its knowledge to become enlightened and reached a level higher than its mother — it Transcended." Wang Wei saw the eye standing above what looked like the Chaos Universe.

"Observer did not stay long after detaching itself from the Chaos Universe. However, its presence fundamentally changed things. Grand Dao received a reward or nourishment from beyond the Chaos Universe, from a place with many names: Prime Origin, the Alpha Genesis, the Beyonder, and Hongmeng."

Hongjun saw his calm reaction to the term "Hongmeng" and secretly nodded.

"Observer’s ascension showed Grand Dao her purpose. She knew that she needed to recreate her second son’s success, but she also knew things could not be chaotic again. So, she started her plan.

"Observer had left detailed records, including laws. Grand Dao used these records and her general Creation to create the first Grand Construct: Primordial Chaos. She turned Time into the River of Time to allow the sentient creatures to grow. She turned Death into the underworld, an early version of Samsara. The underworld was simply to ensure that the future lives in this world could die more easily in case they rebelled, and the underworld could recycle their soul.

"Finally, Fate turned into the River of Fate. I said he was her favorite. Do you know why?"

"Because he would be to ensure her control over everything," Wang Wei answered.

"Exactly. Fate was the link connecting everything, ensuring her control and dominance of the entire world," Honjun nodded.
