Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 618

Three hundred years ago, Upper Dimension:

Supreme Unity suddenly opened his eyes from his temple. His eyes penetrated the lower dimension, and he watched Grand Dao manifesting and erasing three people from existence.

'The aura of taboo. And it's similar to the one emanating from the Prehistoric World. I knew this kid had many secrets.' He remembered a while ago when he sensed a power on par with himself secretly interfering with the Eternal Ascension World.

At first, he and Maitreya convinced themselves it was only some fleeting entity sending some vague threat–especially since it was so brief that they could not detect it. However, now, he understood that event might be related to a taboo, and the key to everything was Wang Wei.

Supreme Unity left his magnificent temple, prepared to head to the lower dimension. With his power, nothing can stop him from interfering–except for the normal-looking nun that appeared before him.

"Why are you stopping me?" Supreme Unity demanded with a cold and indifference in his voice.

"You can't touch the kid."

"I can do as I please."

"And I can stop you if I desire."

Supreme Unity looked directly into her eyes. "Aren't you tempted? Whatever secret the Prehistoric World is hiding might be the key to finding the path forward."

At their level, where there is no single cultivation path of advancement, exploring taboos' secrets is another way to experience new things and possibly find the way forward.

"I do. But I prefer to wait until he reaches the same height as us and ask him."

Maitreya knew that with Wang Wei's personality of always paying his debt, he would tell her if he asked about the Prehistoric World. However, she would prefer to wait until they are on equal ground when he feels more secure and confident to ask. That way, they can have a genuine and open conversation.

"That is the mindset of the weak." Supreme Unity does not believe in this nonsense; he believes in the hierarchy of power. He will take what he wants from anyone weaker than him.

"You were once weak."

"The key word is 'was,' implying the past. Besides, your plan is flawed as it implied he could reach the same realm as us."

"Why not? You and I know that our realm became more common after the arrival of the Ultimate Taboo."

That was true. Qiyuan's Second Battle of Origin was one of the most critical events in the entire Chaos Universe. Most people believed he wanted to make the Eternal Ascension World the center of the universe; he tried to make it the Chaos World with the most luck or destiny but failed.

But that was only on the surface. Qiyuan's real goal was to start a war that spread throughout the universe. While everything was chaotic, he arranged pawns across different Chaos Worlds to gather the Luck of the entire universe and summon the Ultimate Taboo.

And he succeeded in the end. The plan succeeded with the help of many allies both in the Eternal Ascension World and other Chaos Worlds. And after the event of the Ultimate Taboo, half-step Detached Individuals like Supreme Unity and Maitreya became more common in the Chaos Universe.

"Unlike our time, it is not so far fetch for someone to reach our level," argued Maitreya.

If the majority of people who participated in the event did not die or were stubborn and would not settle for a perfect method of detachment, there would be more of them in the Eternal Ascension World.

"More is not necessarily better," countered Supreme Unity. "The more people in our realm, the fewer resources for us."

"Or, we can share our experiences and methods to find the path forward. You and I know this universe is somewhat of a cage. And only by working together can we escape."

"I don't need anyone's help to achieve detachment."

"It seems there is no point in arguing with you," said Maitreya, shaking her head. She realized the man opposite her was not the person she once knew. Back then, Supreme Unity participated in the Second Battle of Origin. He was one of the people who knew the ultimate goal, and he benefited from it.

However, now, he suddenly was arrogant enough to think he could create his own unique method of detachment. Maitreya often contemplated whether Supreme Unity was always like this or the result of whatever method he got from the Ultimate Taboo.

"Anyway, you cannot lay your hands on the kid."

"Then, let's fight."

"Fine. Let's go to Primordial Chaos to not destroy the world."

The two left the Eternal Ascension World, fighting in Primordial Chaos for a few decades before Maitreya stopped the battle. While standing in the endless dark space, she looked at Supreme Unity.

"I've had enough. I don't want to waste my time fighting you. Stop. Otherwise, suffer the consequence."

"And what would that be?"
