Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1698

Chapter 1698: The Escape Plan: Absolute Fate Control

Wang Wei’s mind was in a strange tripartite state: one part was calm, composed, and determined, the second was a mindless machine with a purpose, and the third was full of madness and corruption. ’So, that’s what this Fate Seed Status does. It’s fine if I accept my fate, but if I don’t, Grand Dao doesn’t mind turning me into a mindless puppet to do its bidding,’ Wang Wei sneered. There are fates worse than death, and becoming a puppet for the River of Fate or Grand Dao is one of those.

The overwhelming anger Wang Wei felt regarding this truth almost broke his state of mind, so he had to rein in his emotions and calm down. His current situation was far more dangerous than it appeared. Two-thirds of his [Existence] was ruined, meaning if he did not do something, his cultivation path would be ruined from now on.

Wang Wei focused his mind and tried to use the fact that these two forces were distracted by fighting over his body to expel them from his body. ’As expected, it’s useless.’ Of the three powers competing, he was the weakest. Any attempts to intervene in such a confrontation would only make things worse. ’In that case, I can only wait for an opportunity. Hopefully, my prediction will come true.’

Wang Wei focused his mind and spirit to defend and protect himself. Right now, he can only wait for the right opportunity while these two powers ravage the very essence of his existence. The sages said that patience was a virtue, and Wang Wei decided to embody that fundamental truth.

Terminus Heaven:

Fate Cardinal was manipulating the River of Destiny to search for something when he suddenly sensed something. His gaze pierced through the veils of endless dimensions and truths to glance at Wang Wei’s current situation.

’An early harvest?’ he thought. ’Are you so eager to get rid of me?’ A great anger flew from his body, destroying countless strings and killing millions of cultivators — from mortals to Paragons. His first instinct was to stop this process and help Wang Wei, but he stopped himself. Instead, the cardinal checked on the upper stream of the River of Time to check what the consequences of Wang Wei’s failure would be on this timeline and future events.

’His death will benefit Grand Dao so much?’ Fate Cardinal thought with an ugly expression. Although he couldn’t see many things, the general directions of the future were enough to alarm him. If he dares to mess up Grand Dao’s plans, he would immediately be labeled a traitor and executed. `

’Well, if he’s not complete, there may be room for maneuver,’ Fate Cardinal analyzed. The incomplete Wang Wei would need someone to raise and guide him during the transition process, and he can take this opportunity to make up for his mistake and plan for the future.

’That seems to be the best move to make,’ Fate Cardinal nodded to himself before raising his hands to act. He suddenly stopped. ’That bastard is very protective of his younger self. He won’t come after me, will he?’ He immediately hesitated before remembering the latter was already their enemy and should now be distracted by a myriad of other threats. Regardless, Fate Cardinal took extra precautions before secretly interfering.

’Damn it, why has the consciousness of the River of Fate suddenly become so potent and aggressive?’ Wang Wei cursed. ’Did something happen? An intervention? Fuck, it’s probably that bastard.’ The domino effect of that aggression was an even more potent counterattack by Dark Fate. And as the weakest party, Wang Wei’s true self immediately suffered. His mind became slow and muddled, followed by an intense desire for madness and destruction, creating a strange dichotomy.

"All form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. All...’ Wang Wei immediately started to recite scriptures. Years ago, after a meeting with Xun Junyao, he had the idea of finding a way to have the entire world slowly guide probability to always benefit him, and one of his approaches was through spiritual enlightenment. Wang Wei eventually tried to rely on fate rather than spiritual practice.

This idea never came to fruition because he eventually realized this was not something a non-Saint could achieve. However, the process allowed him a deeper understanding of many religions — primarily Buddhism and Taoism. So, he started using this knowledge to protect his True Self.
