Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

1470  A Motherʼs Love

”Patriarch, youʼre okay, right?” Wang Qi said before running around him, touching him to ensure he was real.

”Iʼm fine, and stop touching me,” Wang Wei controlled him so he remained standing before him.

”You disappeared after the others returned, so we thought something had happened to you,” Yu Cai said with relief. ”Iʼm glad youʼre alright.”

Wang Wei was about to say something when numerous talismans suddenly rushed from the void. He received all of them, and they were from his acquaintances all over the world. They also noticed the disappearance of his karma and its reappearance a few minutes later, so they wanted to know what had happened. Wang Wei waved his hand to send a return communication to everyone.

”Youʼre quite popular, arenʼt you?” Wang Qi teased. ”Should the Madam be worried?”

Wang Wei ignored him and asked Yu Cai: ”Did the ancestors contact us during my death state?”

”No, but a depressing atmosphere loomed over the sect during that period. I reckoned it was them,” Yu Cai explained.

”I see,” Wang Wei nodded.

”What exactly happened?” Yu Cai asked curiously.

”I met a troublesome opponent and had to fake my death,” Wang Wei replied truthfully.

”And how strong are you exactly?”

”Strong enough to be a Supreme Elder.”

Yu Cai smiled wryly. ”Although I expected it, I was still surprised.” Yu Cai sighed. The man was worthy of his position as a Primal Seed. In such a short period, his strength has reached such a realm.

”Patriarch, the people in the lower dimension must be freaking out about your disappearance,” Wang Qi warned.

”I know, but there isnʼt much I can do now,” Wang Wei sighed. The lower dimension is still one of Heavenly Daoʼs last bastions of resistance against Supreme Unity in case it loses this war. This also means access from the upper dimension is wholly cut off.

”Your Soul Flame should have been re-lit like ours, so it should be fine,” Yu Cai reassured them.

”Hopefully.” The three let the silence linger before Yu Cai spoke again: ”Now that youʼve returned, what do you plan to do?” Wang Wei did not immediately answer him but looked at the sky: ”Itʼs time to end this era.”

Yu Caiʼs eyes sparkled: ”Many people have been waiting for this moment for too long. Do you need anything?”

”Iʼll ask if I do,” Wang Wei nodded. Yu Cai did not overstay his welcome and soon left. Not long after, Grand Elder Yan Xue came to check on him, but the latter only stayed a few minutes. Wang Wei and Wang Qi soon arrived at the manor. Wang Wei did not enter but headed for his garden and fishing pool.

”How long have you been gone?” he asked.

”9789 years,” Wang Qi replied.

”The ratio to the trial is not too bad,” Wang Wei nodded. ”Anything happened that I need to know?”

”There are a few things,” Wang Qi reported. ”Firstly, a few loose cultivators tried to use this opportunity to cause trouble.”

”Did they think the peak lineages sent all their best powerhouses and now were vulnerable?”

”Exactly.”

”Were they eradicated?” Wang Wei asked.

”Not exactly.”

”Oh?”

”Paragon Jimin interfered. He also used this opportunity to recruit many of them into his new faction — The Thousand-Faces Valley.”

”Weʼve always known Jimin was ambitious, so it made sense he would use this opportunity. I would wager he probably secretly instigated them in the first place,” Wang Wei calmly commented as he played with a deep blue flower. ”You said he interfered. How?”

”He first tried to mediate on behalf of these cultivators and used the fact he was the only surviving Paragon left in the world.”

”Threats, huh?” Wang Wei muttered. ”I thought he would be more tactful than that.”

”He knew whom to threaten,” Wang Qi emphasized. Jimin threw his Paragon weight to the Overlords but did not dare threaten them.

”So, heʼs smart,” Wang Wei nodded. ”What else happened?”

”The Divine Faith Haven threw a fit after learning their people died,” Wang Qi continued. ”They said some nasty words publicly against us and even sent an ambassador to ask for an explanation.”

”Did the sect deny it?”

”Of course, we even fought back by saying we wonʼt take kindly to unsubstantiated rumors.”

”Thatʼs the right approach,” Wang Wei nodded. Although he planned to eliminate the Divine Faith Haven, he still had to act innocent to the public eye to preserve the sectʼs reputation. In this world, reputation equates to luck and destiny, and although their sect has reached the point in which rumors have little effect on them, they still have to keep appearances.

”Someone tried to free Time Eater,” Wang Qi said, making Wang Wei pause his flower gazing. ”Donʼt worry, the operation failed, but we did not capture the culprit.”

”Heʼs indeed an instability,” Wang Wei uttered, his brow furrowing deeper.

”Lastly, Du Cong wants to see you.”

”Heʼs not dead?” Wang Wei asked. Du Cong was the leader of his new Mortal CIvilization. His lifespan limit of 10,269 years should have expired by now.

”Itʼs the least I can do,” Wang Wei replied. His next focus should be the lock, but based on Maitreyaʼs previous warning, he still had plenty of time. However, Time Eaterʼs looming presence has motivated Wang Wei to kick-start things as soon as possible.

”Before I check on him, I need you to fetch two people for me: Yang Guoweiʼs mother and the Xie Clan matriarch.”

”No problem.”

A few minutes later, a middle-aged woman dressed in simple blue robes walked toward Wang Wei. She had an ordinary face but green eyes as bright as the stars. Her aura showed a calm woman of wisdom, but she was also someone who had experienced much in life.

”My son is dead, isnʼt he?” Fu Yangcheng asked.

”Iʼm sorry,” Wang Wei said, looking her in the eyes.

”And Iʼm guessing you have no intention of reviving him?” she continued.

”No, but I can protect your safety and well-being.”

”Why? Because Iʼm valuable?” She asked, staring at him directly.

”Your son is the one who serves me, not you.”

Fu Yangcheng looked him in the eyes, trying to see whether he meant it or not. She took a deep breath and exhaled. ”Thank you for the offer, but there is no need.” Wang Wei furrowed his brow, wondering why she was being so headstrong.

”There is something you can do for me,” Fu Yangcheng continued. ”I want to reincarnate with all memories and a blessing.”

”You want to cultivate to the Paragon Realm in your next life to revive your son?” Wang Wei asked.

”Thatʼs right,” she nodded. After her husband sold her to one of the Moons, Fu Yangcheng had only one person she could count on — her son. Now that she has lost him, sheʼll do anything to get him back.

”You do understand that by the time youʼve become a Peak Paragon, so long would have passed that the difficulty of reviving him will increase by an astronomical amount? And thatʼs only if you ever become a peak Paragon?” Wang Wei questioned.

”I do, but it doesnʼt matter, does it?” The firmness in her eyes was unwavering. A motherʼs love transcends all, and nothing can stop this woman from embracing her son again.

”I guess it doesnʼt,” Wang Wei nodded. He pointed his finger to her forehead and transmitted a group of information.

”Whatʼs this?”

”Detailed copy of your sonʼs [Existence],” Wang Wei explained. ”With this knowledge, you only need to become a Peak Paragon and use [Existence Reconstruction] to revive him.”

”Thank you,” Fu Yangcheng said sincerely, her voice even choking briefly. She bowed fully to display her thanks. She knew how valuable this information was and how much time and effort she would save. In fact, she had no idea how valuable Wang Weiʼs information was.

[Existence Reconstruction] is vague and not detailed because the person doing the reconstruction cannot directly observe the blueprint like Wang Wei. But if they could, Fu Yangcheng would be capable of perfectly reviving her son to the state before the tribulation. Although Yang Guowei would lose his cultivation progress, he would also have another opportunity to become a Paragon again. Of course, thatʼs only if Grand Dao allows this level of [Existence Reconstruction].

”Alright, letʼs get to it,” Wang Wei said. ”In my name as the Fate Dominating Emperor, as a Boundless Paragon, as the Three Realm Emperor, as the Immeasurable Emperor, I grant you the titles of [The One Blessed By Wisdom] and [The Mother Who Defies Fate].”

A golden light enveloped Fu Yangcheng, purifying her soul. Her multicolored Qi Luck Dragon manifested before the horns turned white. Wang Wei condensed a black jade talisman to hand to it.

”Wait until the lock is gone to activate the talisman,” he instructed. Although it was fine for her to reincarnate now since the lock only blocked communication to the Underworld, not reincarnation itself, he did not want her to take the risk.

”I understand.”
