Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Farewell and Hope

News of Wang Wei's outburst quickly spread throughout the entire world. And many people were not surprised. During this specific period when all the Heaven Chosens are in the Primordial Spirit Realm, this kind of behavior is very common for people who are affected by Heart Demon.

So, people only lamented that he was not taken over by the Heart Demon and his soul was forever scattered, thus eliminating a powerful competitor.

A few days passed and Wang Wei had already calmed down and accepted the result. However, he refused to talk to his grandfather, Yu Yong. No matter who tried to advocate for him, he would just nod to them but nothing more.

"I'm sorry, Wei'er," said Yun Zhaojun.

"There is no need to apologize," replied Wang Wei. "Like I always said, fate is the biggest mockery to us all."

"Things are not as bleak as you make them be." Yu Zhaojun sighed a little. "It's unfortunate that things could not be patched between you and your grandfather."

"We can't always have what we want in life," replied Wang Wei with a somewhat forced smile. "Don't mention him. Let's enjoy the little time we have left."

Yun Zhaojun sighed to herself but did not say anything more. Then, they spent as much time as possible in the remaining time. They talked about everything: from the most mundane thing to the topic of how beautiful Wang Wei's future children will be, and how he will use the most severe way to train his son and dote heavily on his daughter.

During this time, Yu Yan and her sister joined them, thus taking this opportunity to mend the broken relationship between these two siblings. Then, the day of farewell finally arrived.

Yu Yong and Yun Zhaojun stood in a large space with many people surrounding them. The sound of tears falling and hushed crying could be heard everywhere.

And even for the people who were not crying, sadness could be felt radiating from their bodies.

Yu Yan, Wang Wei, Yu Daiyu, and many other members of the clan stood at the very front where they could more easily see the two. Wang Wei had teary eyes but they did not fall.

He held his mother who was now crying uncontrollably, supporting her. His aunt appeared to be completely fine, with no tears whatsoever on her face. However, he could feel her using the origin essence in her body to keep her eyes dry.

No matter who it was, partings were never alright.

Then, the time finally came. Yu Yong looked at his family and loved ones and could not help but sigh. He understood the pain that his actions would cause the people left behind, but he felt that there was no other solution to his problem.

An illusory door appeared in front of the two. Without pause, Yu Yong stepped into it. Immediately, his body seemed to have evaporated but his Primordial Spirit managed to enter that door.

Meanwhile, Yun Zhaojun took one last look at her family and smiled before stepping inside. She has already said her final words to everyone and has no regrets.

The sound of crying became even louder once these two entered the door. People could no longer control themselves. However, the ceremony was not finished.

The main branch of the Yu Clan–including Yu Yan, Yu Daiyu, and Wang Wei–knelt on the floor and kowtowed nine times, with each bow touching the ground.

Knowledgeable people knew that this was a sign of Heaven and Earth of a mighty figure passing away. So, they also bowed down for a brief moment in respect.

A few minutes later, Wang Wei stood up from the ground, then he used his finger to write something in the air, which translated to:

"Heavenly Dao is my witness, I will take an Oath of Silent to honor her life and the influence that she had on me and countless others. For the next 10,000 years, no words shall escape my mouth."

Once he was done writing, the words lit up in the sky before disappearing, meaning the oath had been accepted. If he broke it, he would suffer a great backlash.

Yu Yan sighed after seeing this but she did not say anything else; she was too mentally tired by now. So tired that both Wang Wei and Wang Tian had to carry her to bed.

As Wang Wei looked at his mother soundless sleeping, he realized that the entire situation was also horrible for her. After all, she lost both her father and mother.

Even if she knew in advance, this does not change the emotional impact it had on her. However, she had to be strong for him. So, after sighing internally, he nodded to his father before returning to his mansion.

He entered one of the rooms and told Wu Hong through hand signs to not let anyone disturb him. He only exited the room 6 months later, carrying a few books.

As he looked at his works in front of him, only he knew the weight that they carried. Over the past few months, he did not only write these books but reflected greatly on his life.

And he realized something very important.

One of the main questions that most cultivators will ask in their lives is: what am I cultivating for?

Before, Wang Wei had many answers to that question. As a transmigrator, he wanted to reach the pinnacle of this world. Or, for his goal of one day being free and unfettered.

A better one was to not disappoint all the expectations of the sect. And the most important reason is to protect his family and loved ones.

Despite the last one being the most important, it never truly dawned on him the severity of that answer–not until now,

His family and friends were all mortals, meaning that at some point in the future, they will age and die. And the only way to escape that fate is for him to become a Great Emperor and change that.

After figuring out that fact, the weight of the Heaven Will Battle suddenly increased dramatically. To Wang Wei, this battle was no longer just one of the many wonderful sceneries in his cultivating journey. The lives of countless people were counting on him and that fight.

And he may have only one chance. If he fails, he could seal himself and try again. But the same cannot be said for all of them. Entering the Seal State is a very uncomfortable thing from what he hears.

Plus, what if some of them decided to accept their fate and leave until their life spans run out. There is nothing he can do.

So, no matter what, he must win this generation's Heaven Will Battle and ensure that all his family, friends, and sect elders who have always supported him are immortals; so that they can live a very long and fulfilling life.

'No one can stop me from proving the Dao in this generation. No one.'

He once again looked at the books in his hand before using his Divine Sense to check who was around.
