Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

After entering the crystal wall, Li Jun felt like he was going through a thick and viscous liquid; there was a brief moment of resistance before he was allowed to enter. For a brief moment, everything was dark before he found himself on an empty plan accompanied by his group.

He looked around, relieved that there was no one around.

”Letʼs do things according to the plan,” he said before activating an Invisible Talisman. Immediately afterward, the group headed to a mountain a few hundred miles from their initial landing. They created a large cave inside the mountain, placed an isolating formation to prevent people from discovering them.

And Li Jun was right to be careful as someone arrived at his landing spot a few minutes after he left. That person searched a few hundred thousand miles in diameter of their landing spot before leaving.

After setting up a temporary base, Li Jun looked at Wang Ju: ”Itʼs your turn now.”

She nodded her head and waved her hand: a person dressed in tight black clothes and wearing a mask appeared in front of everyone. Although the person stood in front of them, he had an illusory air surrounding him making it seem as if he was not real, like he was a non-corporeal existence.

”You should be aware of your mission this time, go execute it,” ordered Wang Ju. The person nodded his head without saying anything, then he disappeared.

”Is that one of the new Fate Shadow Guards that big brother recently trained?” asked Yan Liling.

”I could feel the power of Fate on him, so it should be,” replied Li Jun.

”Well, I wonder what they can do.”

”Honestly, I still think that we should just use absolute force to take over this world,” added Tie Gang. ”After all, this is still a Middle Thousand World, so the highest level of cultivation should be the Primordial Spirit Realm.”

L Jun shook his head, ”This world involves big brotherʼs grand plan, so we cannot afford to make mistakes; itʼs always better to be cautious. Plus, we all know that this world is strange.”

…

After the Fate Shadow Guard left the cave, he did not immediately find the nearest place where there were people living. Instead, he found a secret place to meditate for an hour.

Unlike Lower Thousand Worlds, the Heavenly Dao of Middle Thousand Worlds is more powerful, as such, is more restrictive to foreigners. So, as soon as they enter this world, their powers will be momentarily sealed and weakened.

Although this seal is not powerful, it still requires time to remove, hence one of the reasons that Li Jun decided to be more careful in this operation.

After an hour of meditation, the Shadow used a secret technique to trick this worldʼs Heavenly Dao that he was an aboriginal of this world by changing his Fate Line to be similar to the people of this world; and thus, he regained all his strength.

The Shadow proceeded to turn invisible before flying away. After flying for two days, he reached a small village. After observation, he did notice anything strange about it except for one thing: a statue.

It was the statue of a beautiful woman dressed in a simple linen cloth that wrapped her body, wearing a crown made of tree leaves and branches. In both her hands, she was holding fruits and vegetables.

Although the Shadow only looked at the statue from a distance, he could feel a powerful and sacred breath from it. Additionally, intuition told him that if he approached close enough to the small temple that it was located in, he might be discovered.

In the next few hours, the Shadow used a spell to quickly learn the language of this world, which allowed him to know that this statue that all the villagers praised and worshipped was known as the Goddess of Fertility, Fan Qingqing.

Every harvest season, this small village will hold a praying festival, and the Goddess will lower blessing to their fields, making their crops more fertile than usual.

ʼSo, this world has Gods? Is this some kind of cultivation system or some kind of powerful race?ʼ

The Shadow continued to observe for a few more days. Unfortunately, this was a poor village and the amount of information they knew about this world was quite small.

As such, he decided to move on. The Shadow did not go to the nearest city based on the information he gathered. Instead, he closed his eyes and connected to the River of Fate.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and looked in a specific direction. Without hesitation, he flew in that direction based on his instinct. The Shadow knew that his destination was far, so he wanted to use a Void Talisman to teleport himself and arrive at his destination sooner.

However, he remembered the warning from Commander Wang Ju and decided to be safe. So, after flying for a week, he finally arrived at the destination he divined.

It was a city. Although the Shadow thought that this city was quite small, he still learned from a few conversations that it was considered a middle to an upper-tier city in this world in terms of size.

The Shadow did not directly fly into the city or use his invisibility to sneak in. As soon as he approached, he felt a strange power surrounding this city; this power was similar to the small village--except way more powerful and concentrated.

So, he disguised himself as an ordinary person, lined up at the entrance, and paid the necessary fee. Luckily for him, this world also used gold and silver as a currency.

Once inside, he pretended to be a tourist and visited different parts of the city. The information that caught his attention was the fact that there were many temples in this city, worshipping different Gods.

The temples had different sizes; some were lavishly decorated, while others were quite simple or plain. One particular temple with a guy holding a flame was the most prosperous out of all of them. The Shadow guessed that this was probably due to how powerful the Gods worshipped were.

After gaining a basic understanding of this city, he headed to an Inn where many people gathered. He ordered a drink, sat in a corner, completely erased his present as he listened to the peopleʼs conversation.

In the first few days, he did not gather any useful information, he still remained patient as he was confident in his divination. On the fourth day of his arrival, the Shadow heard an interesting conversation in one of the tables close to him where five men were seated and drinking.

”Havenʼt you heard?”

”Heard what?”

”Are you talking about the Chu Family?”

”Thatʼs right.”

”What happened to the Chu Family?”

”They are quite lucky.”

”Can one of you tell me whatʼs going on?”

”You want to know?”

”Of course!”

”Well, Iʼm feeling a little bit thirsty.”

”Damn you. Alright, the next round is on me.”

”Okay, Iʼll tell you. The Young Master of the Chu Family awakened his Divine Bloodline.”

”Really? That means that he has the opportunity to become a God. How lucky he is.”

”Itʼs not luck. The Chu Family have been firm believers of the God of Fire, Huo. With their dedication, even if their young master did not awaken on his own, they might receive a blessing from the God of Fire for all their services over the years and provided the opportunity to ascend to Godhood.”

The table was quiet for a moment while all five of them had a look of envy on their faces. Then, one of them asked: ”Do you know what level his bloodline is?”

”I heard that it was a Demi-God Bloodline.”

”Demi-God? In this part of the world, itʼs not bad.”

”Not bad? How can we lowly mortals judge a Godʼs bloodline? In the end, if we do not receive pity from the Gods, we are doomed to remain small and insignificant in our entire lives.”

The table once again became quiet, this time lasting for at least a minute. Then, the guy who promised to buy drinks to relieve the tension; however, they no longer talked about this topic anymore.

As the Shadow listened to these menʼs conversation, he pondered to himself:

ʼThe lives of mortals in this world seemed quite sad and tragic. Without a proper cultivation system, their fates are in the hands of these so-called gods. Only by serving them and offering them their lives might they have a chance at being extraordinary.

ʼAnd I imagined that even then, things might not be so simple.ʼ

After analyzing the information he received, the Shadow decided to pay a visit to the Chu family. In the past few days, he learned that this city belonged to them.

So, at night, he turned invisible and infiltrated the main manor of the Chu family. After fumbling around for a bit, he headed straight to the room of their Young Master.
