Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 844

844 The Weakest Link (I)

Di Tian watched Gao Buqin's liberation and his conversation with Yan Liling, his emotions more than complicated. Was he furious? Yes, he was, but not out of pure anger but the lack of competence of his chosen general.

Secondly, and more importantly, he was furious at himself for making such an obvious mistake.

'I keep telling myself to be cautious or prudent when dealing with Wang Wei. Yet, I made such a blunder.'

What kind of people were Dao Overlord? Intelligent individuals who can find the flaws in their enemies and use them against them. And even knowing this, Di Tian went on a rampage during the Cleanup, searching for generals.

And when he enslaved Gao Buqin and Gluttony, he did it in the Nine Devil God Continent, right before Wang Wei's eyes. Such an act was like telling the latter he is my flaw and how to deal with it.

'After so many years, have I not learned anything? Will arrogance be my downfall again?'

Di Tian contemplated his past, thinking about how things went wrong. The creation of his generals was necessary, given how powerful and talented Wang Wei was. If he did not do the same, the current situation would have been worse.

However, he never should have been so evident with his actions. During that time, he had too much confidence in achieving the Ten Supremacy Foundation and believed Wang Wei's chances were too slim.

After all, Nine Pillar claimed to have spent his entire life, billions of Yuan Epochs, before only discovering one method. Alas, he forgot how Dao Overlords were people who could create miracles.

As such, a part of him became complacent, prideful, and condescending as victory near him.

'I made the same mistakes before she died,' contemplating Di Tian. 'Could it be that my terrible fate is now a curse from Heaven but the result of my own inadequacy?'

For many years, he believed his horrid fate was Heavenly Dao's fault. But now, he has to ask himself why it was so easy to scheme against him. Why was it so easy to make him suffer, to make him fail?

'Dao Overlord, Dao Overlord, Dao Overlord…None of this would have happened as I was one.'

His eyes blurred as he imagined what his life would have been like if he had the capabilities to pass the Supreme Outlaw Trial. Ning'er would still be by his side, probably one of humankind's most extraordinary Eternal Emperors.

Then, together, they would lead Acquired Life against the Innate Beings from the Endless Void while ensuring the supremacy of humans.

He would have watched his disciples grow and become pillars of human society. And with his protections, none of them might have died.

'There is no point in thinking of what ifs,' sighed Di Tian, who knew long ago Heaven and Earth were not fair. Some people were born with talents and abilities that others could only dream of. Some people's endpoints are others' starting points.

And in life, in the cultivation world, you can only do with the cards handed to you by fate.

'Now, I only need to think about my next step,' pondered Di Tian, who had calmed down.

'The first plan would be to attack the remaining participants.'

Di Tian simulated the result of such a tactic. Wang Wei would intervene and stop him. He will have the advantage since the latter will have to protect these weaklings of his subordinates.

'Yan Liliing and Li Jun would be fine. As long as Wang Wei buys them enough time, they can escape to the Elemental Dimensions without being affected by our battle. However, Tie Gang would probably not live long, but he is inconsequential.

'The real threat is Yan Liling and Wang Ju. If he protects them long enough, Wang Wei should create an array that blesses his strength and gives him an advantage in the battle against me.'

According to his simulation, this plan can only work if he goes all out to deal with Wang Wei and can successfully buy enough time to get rid of the others. However, this process would require him to reveal his trump cards in advance and might not even work since he did not know the fullest extent of Wang Wei's strength.

'There are too many unexpected variables and unpredictable outcomes with this tactic; it's better to be safe than sorry,' thought Di Tian before looking at the battle between Wang Ju and his shadow.

Everything seemed even so far. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

'In that case, I can only rely on Plan B and use that secret technique. If he can catch Wang Ju, it would be even better.' Di Tian sent a message to his Shadow and waited.

If there were a person he could count on was his Shadow since the latter was one of the remains from the Sleepers. As such, he was talented and fiercely loyal.

Additionally, he needs to take precautionary measures to ensure Gluttony does not follow the same fate as Gao Buqin. He modified the Soul Enslavement to immediately kill him at the slightest signs of interference.
