Wang Wei gazed at him and saw a man who had just destroyed their entire world and lost his spiritual foundation. Wang Wei did not say anything but created another dark ball of destruction.

"What did you do? Why can't I sense my Lord?" yelled Yi Lianchang. "Give it back to me. Give me back my Lord. He is my everything. Give him back."

"I can't say I feel pity for you," commented Wang Wei while shaking his head. "I really want to search your soul to get more information. However, I don't want to deal with you and your Lord and take unnecessary risks. So, be gone."

Boom!

Yi Lianching turned into nothingness as not even a single particle of his being remained in this mortal coil. If Wang Wei could, he would have erased the latter's existence to ensure he was genuinely gone.

Wang Wei checked thoroughly with his Divine Sense to ensure the latter was dead and he did not make a mistake. Once he felt relieved, he continued his thought of being a protagonist.

He deeply understood the concept of luck, Sons of Destiny, and even Era Destiny. But his situation is different in a subtle manner; he is drawn to too many higher-than-life events or entities; in other words, he is a danger magnet. He is only a mortal, but he is already connected to 4 Taboos, something that most Paragons have to actively search to get in contact with. And the four are the ones he knows as he feared he might even be secretly connected to unknown ones.

'My destiny is obviously not ordinary, but what is it? Am I destined to control fate and become free and unfettered? Or is my destiny as simple as one day becoming a primary character of this Chaos Universe?

Wang Wei understood destiny does not equate to guaranteed success; people have to work for their destinies and could even fail to accomplish them. Nevertheless, it did not change the fact his life would not be peaceful.

He raised his hand to manifest a few Karma Threads connected to him, focusing on the one connected to the Dao Opening Sect.

'I've cut all connection to my family and can remove the last thread after proving the Dao. However, it does not change they are still my weakness, and the future could use them against me.'

Wang Wei decided to do something about this if his life was destined to be turbulent. He exhaled before sitting cross-legged on the ground to check his Sea of Consciousness; he wanted to check his Primordial Spirit for any possible problem.

Upon closer inspection, everything was normal, but he was not reassured. He checked every nook and cranny, but he appeared alright. However, paranoia took over him, so he checked over and over again, mobilizing his Force Control Skill and Soul Dao. And as expected, he saw a black spot on his Primordial Spirit that was hidden too well.

Without hesitation, he cut off that piece, not even minding the injury to his soul. He then checked again, using the previous discovery as a guide. Finally, he discovered two other spots of corruption and removed them.

"Are you alright?' These were the first words and sounds he heard after opening his eyes.

"I"m fine," he replied.

"Is Yi Lianchang so powerful that he can injure you?"

"Things were a little more complicated than that."

"Is that so?" Li Jun did not continue to ask since Wang Wei did not want to talk about it; he understood some secrets he could not be privy to–unless he reached a certain strength level.

Wang Wei stood up and tried something: the previous fusion of his Duyi Realm and his Willpower.

'What power was that?' He felt a certain sublimation, but he could not reproduce that perfect fusion again for some reason. He tried to enter that state of clarity and concentration when he fused it, but it was useless. Maybe because his life is no longer threatened, he could not accomplish the same feat.

'Let's put this as another form of training from now on.'

"Let's go," he said to the rest of the group before returning to the troops. Wang Wei wanted to activate his token as soon as possible before using the same method as Yi Lianchang to travel to other territories and survey the situation.

Above the sky, only a few dozen of meters from Wang Wei's group, a shadowy figure watched them. No one detected its presence or how long it had been here. The figure gazed at Wang Wei's back.

'I did not expect to meet one before everything ended,' thought the mysterious figure. 'Is this fate? No, maybe it is mocking me.' The figure watched the group disappear on the horizon.

'Empress Wu's breath.' An aura of confusion emanated from the figure's body after thinking about Wu Hong.

'Could I find the truth? It..probably does not matter.' The figure pondered whether to meet Wang Wei but decided otherwise. 'Let's continue the original plan.' Then, it disappeared as if it had never existed.

The Void, outside of the Myriad Emperor World:

Dozens of people with covered faces and powerful aura of at least Immortal Venerable level attacked the Protection Array. The most powerful of these entities were on par with Pseudo Eternal Emperors. Nevertheless, their attempt was futile.

"This is pointless. We would need Eternal Level power to have a chance with this information," commented one of the two most powerful entities in charge of this operation.

"You're correct, but what can we do? We did not expect the Myriad Emperor World to act so decisively and band together. I respect whoever has such a forward-thinking mind and diplomatic means."

"Hopefully, it is a member of the older generation. Even then, if that person acts as an advisor to the reigning Great Emperor of this generation, the rise of the Myriad Emperor Plane is guaranteed."

The second-in-command only sighed and did not add to the subject. "What should we do?"

"Let's report back."

Battle Spirit World:

This plane is known in the Endless Void for ranking fourth on the Eternal Emperor List with 7, and two of them came from the same faction: the Spirit Genesis Sect. This faction is also famous throughout the entire lower dimension with the title of [Strongest Sect] with Eleven Great Emperors, two of whom are Eternals.

Like the Dao Opening Sect, all their Emperors are First Class to Pseudo Eternals, and they overcame the Nine Emperor Curse.historical

A magnificent palace adorned with precious spiritual materials lies at the very center of the entire Battle Spirit Plane. Its beauty and luxury were a display of the most powerful faction of not only this world but the lower dimension.

A meeting took place between the three people: the patriarchs of the He and Jia Clan and the sectarian faction representative.

"I just received news the plan failed," said Patriarch He.

"At this point, it's becoming too costly to interfere in their Heaven Will Battle," commented Patriarch Jia.

"I agree," added the Disciplinary Head. "We do not need to fear the rise of the Myriad Emperor World or the Dao Opening Sect; they will only be the second strongest."

"What if they cultivated a third Eternal?" argued Patriarch He.

"Young Master He will also become an Eternal; we don't have to worry about anything. Instead, we should prepare for the 12 Emperor Curse," replied Patriarch Jia.

"The more reason we should prevent them from succeeding." He Patriarch had the most confidence in his son. Nevertheless, he wanted to do everything in his power to ensure not his son's success but also to retain the sect's title as number one. After all, such a title will manifest in the form of destiny and Qi Luck.

Furthermore, his He Clan has cultivated 4 Great Emperors and one Eternal. Once he succeeds, they will have 5 Emperors with two Eternals, surpassing the Wang Clan. As such, he must interfere in their promotion.

"What else do you want us to do? Send our Immortal Monarch."

"That's exactly what I want."

"Absolutely not."

"I also disagree," added the Disciplinary head. Their faction only had 3 Great Emperors compared to the other's 4. However, they also cultivated an Eternal.

"Patriarch He groaned since he knew he could not mobilize such power on his own, so he needed to convince these two.

"Have you heard of the Eternal Supreme theory?" he asked, and the two had read about it. Some Eternal Emperors are leagues above others, capable of easily defeating other Eternals, referred to as Eternal Supreme.

"The Myriad Emperor World has 5 Eternal Supreme: Qiyuan, Sword Empress, Absolute Beginning Emperor, and Empress Wu. Little is known about the Human Emperor and Heaven Opening Emperor. However, there is a high chance they also were Eternal Supremes.

"The Dao Opening Sect has two, while we only have one. Do you see where I'm going with this?"

"We don't know if the next Emperor of the Dao Opening Sect or the plane will be one," argued Patriarch Jia.

"No, but there are signs."

The two frowned. One of the signs of an Eternal Supreme is breaking the barrier between Mortal and Immortal. Although it is not guaranteed, it is an excellent indication. The information they received from the recent Deception Trial is that many such young talents appeared in the Myriad Emperor World, with the most brilliant from the Dao Opening Sect.

"You should have faith in your son." The Spirit Genesis Sect had the most trust in their Young Master to become an Eternal Supreme.

"I do. But I also want to be cautious and pave the way for him."

"Fine, I agree."

"It's better worth it."

"I give you my sincere thanks, Fellow Daoist," bowed Patriarch He.
