Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1699

Chapter 1699: The Escape Plan: The Awaited Moment

Hongjun once blessed Wang Wei with immense luck and fortune before his reincarnation. He also met the latter and the other Saints of the Prehistoric World and Earth. All these meetings left a mark on Wang Wei’s [Existence]. These marks are not like the seed with inherent power to influence him, but the powers competing for Wang Wei’s body don’t have to know about that. With a bit of manipulation, Wang Wei successfully faked the appearance of a third party intervening, forcing the others to pause briefly and check the situation.

It didn’t take them long to realize this was nothing but a bluff, but that moment of relief was enough for Wang Wei to condense the [Absolute Fate Control] characteristic and complete the subsequent sublimation. Wang Wei watched as the three Battle Taboo Characteristics resonated before turning into the shape of three stars.

The achievement of the Paragon Battle Taboo should be something to celebrate, but Wang Wei couldn’t care less right now. If he doesn’t survive this ordeal, none of his achievements will mean anything. As such, he focused on the task at hand. With absolute control over his mind, spirit, and self, he weaved an even greater protection around his [True Self]. It doesn’t matter if the other aspects of his [Existence] are destroyed, conquered, or corrupted: everything will be fine as long as what makes him Wang Wei still exists.

Boom!

Wang Wei’s actions seemed to have offended those two. So, they ignored their previous battles and focused on eradicating the weakest link before focusing on each other. Wang Wei sneered. He did not hesitate to further weaken the [Time Skipping Orb] protection to empower Dark Fate. If someone could observe his soul from the outside, they would see that a black shadow consumed two-thirds, the other third had turned completely silver-white, and only a small part on his forehead kept releasing an intense golden light that kept everything at bay.

The balance was broken in the other side’s favor. The River of Fate has been planning for this chesspiece before it was born in its first life, so how can it allow an outside force to come reaping everything it has sown? A more potent power descended into Wang Wei’s body to suppress Dark Fate. Having the homecourt advantage immediately proved to be useful, and the previous balance was restored.

Wang Wei’s guard remained on the highest alert as he balanced these two terrifying powers. ’What’s taking so long? Could my prediction be wrong, or did something happen?’ The opportunity he’s been waiting for hasn’t arrived, leading his mind to wander. Only Wang Wei knew the tightrope he was currently on. The slightest mistake will result in a fate worse than death. Wang Wei has already planned to erase his [True Self] if he loses this confrontation, as he refused to be the puppet of either the River of Fate or whatever power this Dark Fate was.

Although this may be an extreme since there is hope for him to be saved or revived by his wife as long as he is alive, Wang Wei refused to live as a puppet. By the time Wu Hong is strong enough to save him, Wang Wei knows his will might be broken, and he would be nothing but a shell of his former self. Instead of living such a life, he preferred death. Although such a choice might be selfish, he knew his wife and his parents would understand.

’Now is not the time to be doubting myself. So, let’s focus.’ He ignored all these negative thoughts and dedicated all his effort to keeping this feeble balance. Under such intense focus, the passage of time was usually unnoticeable, but it was the opposite for Wang Wei; every second felt like an eternity. However, he endured. He persevered — he remained unyielding.

There is a saying: Heaven rewards the diligent. Although this may not be utterly true, one thing is sure: only the diligent can defy their destined fate. After walking on the tightrope for far too long, Wang Wei suddenly felt a connection. He immediately acted and took control.

’Now, for the last step,’ Wang Wei thought while trying to control his emotions. Hongjun was not the only Transcendent Entity that had come into contact. Old Man Tianji from the Star-Gazing Pavilion, the people who attacked the Mortalhood Trial, the Ji Clan, and that Genesis Creature — all of them have left their records or mark on his [Existence]. Wang Wei activated all of them to make it look as if those people were also interfering.
