Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 430

Chapter 430: Little Fatty

Li Jun sat on a small wooden boat with a fish rod in his hand; he has been on this spot for the past 2 days. The lake was clear and peaceful, unlike his mind.

A small ripple appeared on the calm lake, signaling that his rod had caught something. However, Li Jun was looking in the distance, dazed and unfocused. So, for the 20th time in the past few days, the fish he caught ran away.

"You're wasting bait," suddenly said a voice. The fishes in the lake were spirit fishes with many properties. As such, the bait used to catch them was also very valuable.

Li Jun looked at the beautiful girl that smelled like flowers that appeared next to him and smiled stiffly before nodding his head.

"Are you ready to talk yet?" asked Yan Liling.

Li Jun looked at the river for a few seconds, "Have you ever felt useless?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean to big brother. Have you ever felt useless?"

Yan Liling became quiet as she listened.

"I mean, if you think about it, we bring nothing of value to him. On the contrary, we can even say that we are holding him back."

This thought has been in Li Jun's mind lately. In the Qi Luck Trial, they served no real purpose. The role that they played could be replaced by any disciples in the sect.

The same idea applied to what they did in the Heavenly Abode World. Other disciples could also easily conquer it.

Then, in the Heavenly Chosen Trial, he failed to get a place for his big brother by losing to Fang Lijuan–a person that he once previously defeated.

Then, there is the fact that when it comes to Di Tian, not only could he not detect anything, he would have been more of a burden than any help.

As such, Li Jun has begun to question his worth in the team; questioning what he brought to the table.

Yan Liling looked at the dull light in her husband's eyes; she knew that he was talking and thinking nonsense. And the result of his current depression is the result of a Heart Demon.

All his achievements cannot be replicated by ordinary people or disciples. No one amongst them–including the Contemporary Sacred Sons–could ever defeat Fang Lijuan in a battle–not even in a thousand years.

As for the Heavenly Abode, some of the Supreme Gods had reached a Saint strength level, so it would be virtually impossible for the sect to conquer this world given the circumstances surrounding it.

As for Di Tian, even the True Monarchs of the sect were powerless, even big brother Wang Wei did not detect anything, so there was nothing that they could have done.

Of course, the argument could be made that all of Li Jun's achievements could be accomplished by Wang Wei alone. He could have conquered both the Warring State World and the Heavenly Abode World.

However, there is still a problem with this approach. In the Qi Luck Trial, he would still have needed help to govern the country. If he had to play the role of ruler, general, and prime minister, he would have tired himself both physically and mentally.

And at that time, the other Heaven Chosen would have taken advantage of his situation. As for the Heavenly Abode World, the amount of time he would have to take to infiltrate the Origin Pill Dao Sect, then go conquer that world and ensure that the population is large enough for his plan: all this time would have affected his cultivation time.

As a result, there is no way that he could have been as powerful as he was now. So, Li Jun's words are nothing but the manifestation of a Heart Demon.

Yan Liling understood that their existence served two purposes: one is to ensure that Wang Wei is not bogged down by trivial many.

That way, his strength can grow rapidly without worrying about anything else.

The second and most important purpose is to be his shield during the Heaven Will Battle.

One of the common tactics used in that battle is besieging other Heaven Chosens–especially the ones who have the obvious advantages. Other Heaven Chosens will band together to encircle the people with the highest chance of sitting on the throne.

They will use assassination, poison, curses, forbidden spells, and even hold the participants' families and loved ones hostage if possible. Because of this, many sects or factions will raise Dead Man with the sole purpose of exploding themselves to do damage to the enemy.
