Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 28

Wang Wei enters the Pagoda and finds himself in an empty room with one meditating cushion on it. He sits cross leg on top of it.

As soon as he sits down, a grand and ethereal murmur appears in his mind. The murmur was at first very blurry, but soon, Wang Wei started to understand its meaning.

The voice preaches about this majestic and otherworldly power; he claims that if Wang Wei believes in it, it would grant him wealth, power, and even eternal life.

The words of the ethereal voice seem to contain a deep power of seduction; each word seems to be able to leave an imprint on the core of people’ soul.

Wang Wei tries to ignore the voice with no avail, then he tries to think about different things or memories as a form of distraction. But that tactic also fails.

No matter what action he takes, the only thing left riveting in his mind is the promise and seduction of that voice.

After agonizing and fighting against the ethereal voice for three hours, Wang Wei finds himself believing that he is the devout believer of the All Mighty One Beyond Fate. Only by believing in it can he truly achieve his dreams and goals of being an Emperor and reaching the peak of life.

After becoming a devout believer, someone opens the door of the secret room. He then leads Wang Wei to meet the Pope of the religion, who proclaims to him that a sacrifice is required of him by the All Mighty One Beyond Fate.

Wang Wei--without a shred of hesitation--takes a knife, cuts a hole on his chest, then plunges his hand into his chest cavity and rips out his heart and hands it to the Pope.

During his action there was no pause, no hesitation, no screaming in agony. Only a look of yearning and devotion to the Supreme God that controls the fate of all human beings.

The Pope nods in approval and takes the heart away from Wang Wei’s hand. Soon afterward, Wang Wei dropped dead on the floor and was immediately exiled from the Pagoda due to his failure of the Seventh Trial.

After leaving the trial, Wang Wei had a look of horror in his face. It took him a few minutes to recover a proper mindset, then he set out back home with his head maid.

Wang Wei spends the whole night thinking about how to properly pass this test. The solution he comes up with is to use his strong will to resist.

The next day, he places his idea into practice. He tries to resist the invasion of the ethereal voice with his strong will. Although, this time, he lasted more than twelve hours before he surrendered, Wang Wei knows that this is not the best way to go forward--especially now that he was two months behind the other disciples.

Resisting the sweet seduction of the All Mighty One Beyond Fate with a strong will is a very slow process. Unfortunately, time was not on Wang Wei’ side.

Wang Wei had to try his back up plan: fighting belief with belief. Since the All Mighty One Beyond Fate wants him to believe in him, then why not install into himself a strong belief and fight against the belief of the All Mighty One Beyond Fate.

That way, by fighting the invasion of the other party, Wang Wei can rapidly strengthen his own belief until it turns into a creed or instinct that he will follow his whole life.
