Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 864

"No, I'm too late."

Wang Wei heard these words as his body, soul, and Dao were instantly annihilated. However, a soothing power seemed to have preserved the last remnant of his existence, buying him a little more time.

However, he did not know whether this was a good thing or not. After what he experienced today, every second of living was the worst torment imaginable.

Ca-Cha!

The world broke apart, and Wang Wei opened his eyes.

"Where am I? What was I doing?"

He looked at the cultivation room before checking his body and hands. He had a terrifying sense of deja-vu. However, before he could better analyze the situation, he received a notification that someone was outside.

"My Hong'er," he muttered with a loving smile; his eyes brightened as he remembered she would soon be truly perfect. He walked out of the room at a brisk pace.

"Hong'er, what has gotten you so excited?"

"Husband, your plan worked," said Wu Hong, full of excitement.

"Plan?" asked Wang Wei. "You mean we caught someone?"

"Yes."

"Then, let's go see who it is."

Wang Wei went to see the Fiendeye Emperor and learned about the White Shadow Cat. Then, he repeated the day again, reliving the pain of losing the love of his life. And according to the mechanism of Di Tian's illusion, each time he relived that day, his pain and despair would be increased tenfold.

However, something occurred on the third time Wang Wei relived that day. The illusion broke off after watching Wu Hong die instead of after the Heaven Opening Emperor saved him.

A terrifying will emanated from Wang Wei's body and shattered the illusion. Sadly, this was not enough for him to wake up–at least not so soon. As the name of the Ten-Tails Emperor Scripture implied, her illusions contained an infinite layer.

So, even if someone breaks it, they would just find themselves in another layer. And each successive layer is better than the former one as the illusion could evolve and correct itself to ensure no one escaped its clutches.

Furthermore, the Black Sea of Forgotten Memories would forcibly seal Wang Wei's memories, making it difficult to understand he was in an illusion and wake up.

As fate would have it, in the fifth life, a reaction between the Black Sea and Wang Wei's soul occurred. The aura of Samsara contained in the sea awakened some memories deep in Wang Wei's soul.

So, Wang Wei saw something his mind was subconsciously trying to hide to protect him–it was eons of memories after the space crack swallowed him back on Earth.

In an instant, Wang Wei regained consciousness as all these memories rushed into his mind. He made a swift decision not to immediately absorb these memories. He knew his soul would become sluggish and maybe even slightly injured if he absorbed all of them at once.

And since he was in the midst of a battle, this was not a wise choice. However, he did peek at one of the core memories. To be exact, it was the last memory of himself when he was a mass of aggravated soul.

The last thing he remembered when in that state was entering a white light. Then, he was a baby being stared at by a bunch of giants. However, Wang Wei finally knew what happened between these two events.

He saw his soul forcefully enter Samsara. However, he did not undergo the proper procedure to seal his memories, weigh his karma, get a proper identity, then reincarnate into a new life.

Instead, he used his strength to skip all the steps, beating anyone in his way as he forcefully entered the passage of reincarnation. In the process, he realized his massive soul could not reincarnate in a normal body, so he forced himself to seal all his strength and memories.

"

'No, it seems I preserve my memories from Earth,' he analyzed. After living for so long in the void, it was odd his main personality was based on his memories from Earth. So, he deduced it was not a random event but a conscious choice he made, ensuring that personality would be the main one.

'That's not important,' thought Wang Wei. 'Someone is not adding up.'

After reviewing his reincarnation process and using his current knowledge and understanding of the world, he found too many anomalies.

'With the way I barged into the world, Heavenly Dao would have detected me without a proper identity. Better yet, True Heavenly Dao would have interfered, given how I could not properly hide the aura from my Paragon Tier Soul.
