Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

(Thank you to DanghistKhan and Wozzey for the gift)

Wang Wei was slightly surprised by this news. But after thinking about the things he read about his ancestor from the Secret Archive, he was not surprised. His ancestor was a brilliant cultivator, not just because he created the Origin System.

Back in his time, the Qiyuan Emperor was known as the [Man with 3000 Daos], which was not because he cultivated Chaos Dao. The reason was that he had 3800 Innate Talents in the Supernatural Realm.

Each of his talents represented one of the primary and original Dao that made up existence or the universe. The records did not mention the classification of his talents, so most of them were probably normal ones. But the fact that he had so many of them proved his talent, luck, and strength.

Qiyuan lived in a special period of the Myriad Emperor World. The world had just gone through a civilization destruction era, forcing cultivators to restart from scratch.

In that period, any knowledge related to cultivation was precious beyond measures. Cultivators would fight for a Tier 1nscripture from ancient times, meaning a scripture that could only cultivate to the Body Refining Realm. Furthermore, cultivators refused to share their techniques because they were precious.

Of course, a few intelligent individuals realized this was the perfect opportunity for them to rise. They begin to create a cultivation system of their own. Most truly talented cultivators at that time could only develop cultivations techniques that were perfectly suited to them.

Only if someone had similar body types as the creator could they cultivate these techniques, and these individuals would never reach the same height as their predecessors. Another way to cultivate these techniques was if someone was talented enough to modify them to suit their bodies.

Subsequently, a few geniuses created a perfect cultivation system suited for everybody. Unfortunately, their fate was death at the hands of the Ancient Aristocratic Clans.

Before the establishment of the Ancient Emperor Era, the Myriad Emperor World was still recuperating from the Null Era resulting in no Heaven Will manifesting in countless generations.

Nevertheless, the Ancient Clans survived the catastrophe while preserving the cultivation system of the old era. As such, even though they were severely injured and recuperating, they still had the power to rule the Myriad Emperor World.

These clans ensured that no genius would spread a new system or any factions would rise to take power. The Ancient Clans only needed to wait until the World Source regenerated itself. They could cultivate another Great Emperor and rule the new era with their advantage of resources and cultivation systems.

Everything proceeded smoothly until the Wang Clan birthed an ambitious young man. As the heir of the Wang Clan and the most powerful Heaven Chosen of the clan, he had the destiny to bring the Ancient Clan to greatness.

However, the young man saw the downside of the rule of his clan. The environment was not suitable for the ancient cultivation system to thrive. If it became mainstream, it was only a matter of time before the resources of the Myriad Emperor World would be sucked dry.

So, Wang Qishan–as he was known back then–told his concerns to his elders. He even suggested that they create a new cultivation system to spread. A new system could solve this problem and bless the clan with enough Qi Luck to survive for countless generations.

Unfortunately, the elders declined. The Primordial Body System they currently use was created by the Heaven Opening Emperor, the Ancestor of their Wang Clan. So, these pedantic elders refused his proposition with no room for debate.

However, they acknowledge his concern over resources. So, they planned not to spread the cultivation system even after cultivating a new Great Emperor. Instead, they will hoard all cultivation resources to ensure that all the Emperors came from the Ancient Clann, creating a monopoly.

Wang Qishan became appalled after hearing this. He argued with his clans and the others. But no one listened to him. If he were not the most talented individual of his time, his status would have been revoked, or worse, he would have been killed or imprisoned.

Nevertheless, Wang Qishan began to plan for his future as he knew it was not in this family. He used his political skills to turn many Wang Clan members into his allies while creating his own cultivation system.

After reaching the Supernatural Realm, Wang Qishan's "treachery" was discovered, and the ancient clan hunted him down. The details of his escape were briefed, but Wang Wei theorized that this escape might have been his ancestor's Outlaw Trial since Origin Dao was an Outlaw Dao.

Wang Wei was not too sure about this since there was another incident that could have been his trial.

After leaving the Ancient Clan, Wang Qishan eventually met a very talented young man from a cultivation family" his name was Li Ming, also known as the Battle Maniac Emperor.

Li Ming's family had a unique cultivation system. However, he was not suited for it, making him an outcast. Nevertheless, Li Min was very talented, so he developed a plethora of methods to temper his body to be on par with Supernatural Realm cultivators, overwhelming his family and becoming the patriarch.

After meeting Li Ming, the two became friends rapidly; it was as if their meeting was fate, written in the stars. They did not waste time becoming sword brothers.

And after spending time with Li Ming, Wang Qishan learned a great deal about the body, allowing him to create the Divine Body Realm in his new system, even making up for some of the flaws in the Body Refining Realm; the two optimized the already existing realms and even completely changed some of them.

Afterward, the two began to travel worldwide and through other World Communities. They learned about other cultivation systems based on Taoism, Buddhism, Bloodline, Martial Arts, Soul, etc. They learned from them to perfect the system.

With each new system, he would improve the Origin System. And it was during this time that Wang Qishan invented the concept of Innate Talent and made the Origin System unique.

Then, the two encountered a great danger in another World Community that caused them severe injuries. Luckily, a young lady from a wealthy family saved them–despite her family's disapproval. Her name was Yan Hai, and her name would one day be known throughout the Endless Void: the Sword Empress.

After meeting Yan Hai, Wang Qishan knew someone had sealed her talent for the sword. And after a quick investigation, he knew the Heavenly Dao of her world had sentience, so it sealed her out of fear for her talent and future potential.

The records on this period are not much. Most likely, there might have been some trouble with Yan Hai's family. However, what is left is that these three began their travel together around the Endless Void, fighting other Heaven Chosens and perfecting their cultivation system.

After accomplishing their tasks, these three returned to the Myriad Emperor World to spread this cultivation system without being detected by the Ancient Aristocratic Clans.

The process was not easy since the clans still had some Immortal Tier powerhouse alive. But they survived and succeeded in their actions. Then, Wang Qishan participated in the Heaven Will Battle, proved the Dao, and became an Eternal Emperor.

Afterward, he took the Wang Clan that followed him, Yan Hai, and Li Ming's family to create a sect: the Dao Opening Sect. He sealed the Ancient Aristocratic Clans for a few generations to prevent them from messing up with his achievement.

He then removed the Karma for his sworn brother and sister so they could prove the Dao in the subsequent generations.

Unfortunately, Li Ming failed and did not become an Emperor until much later.

"So, what did my ancestor do?"

"He has done many things. What he is most known for was the [Battle of Origin]. After becoming a Peak Boundless Paragon, Qiyuan wanted to change the Origin of the Myriad Emperor World to bless with the most luck and destiny, making it a focal point of all history of the entire Eternal Ascescion World.

"If he succeeded, the Myriad Emperor World would have the most Eternal Emperors, the most Pseudo Eternal Emperors, and First Class Emperors. Most major incidents that would affect the entire Chaos World would be linked to it in one way on another.

"The Myriad Emperor World would become the epicenter of this Chaos World."

"That would explain a lot," nodded Wang Wei. The Innate-Acquire War began in this plane, and there are rumors it also ended here. Then, there is the Buddhist Catastrophe and the End of the Devil Race–two events also connected to the upper dimension.

"I'm guessing he succeeded?"

"Yes, but it was not easy. All the Paragons of the other World Communities would not allow such a thing to happen, so they joined to stop him. A lot of Paragons from the Myriad Emperor World came to help, but few also did not want this to occur as this move could place the world in danger.

"Then there were the Paragons from the upper dimension who also did not like the idea of some world in the lower dimension becoming the focal point of history."

Wang Wei's eyes lit up more brilliantly than the sun. "Did you participate in that battle?"

"No, that was before my time," Wu Hong replied. "However, I did travel through space-time to experience it myself. It was truly legendary.

"Qiyuan, Sword Empress, and the Battle Maniac fought and slaughtered so many Paragons and others in this confrontation."

Wang Wei's blood boiled as he listened, "I wish I were present."

"Me too. Luckily, I was there for the second Battle of Origin."

"There was a second one?"

"Yes. Qiyuan wanted to do the same, this time, for the entire Chaos Universe; he wanted the Eternal Ascension World to be the focal point of all history of the Chaos Universe.

"That battle involved countless Paragons from other Chaos Worlds, countless Fiendgods, and other races. That battle also started the Golden Age of the Eternal Ascension World."

If the Devil Invasion was the precursor to the Golden Age, the second Battle of Origin was the beginning, and the Ultimate Taboo was the end.

Wu Hong remembered that epic battle as she killed many Paragons, Dao Monarchs, Immortal Kings, and Fiendgods. So many Chaos Worlds of any category died, not only her hands but also the Paragons from the Eternal Ascension World.

Of course, many of their own also fell.

"Did you guys succeed?"

"You could say we did, and you could also argue we failed."

Wang Wei nodded but no longer asked any more questions since it seemed this was not something she was willing to talk about. Then, he found an anomaly.

"The Battle Maniac Emperor was the sixth Emperor of the sect. The time he proved the Dao was only a few hundred million years before yours. How could he already become a Paragon?"

"Before the Devil Invasion, time operated much quicker on the upper dimension than the now relatively synchronized time. Additionally, Qiyuan and Sword Empress ensured Battle Maniac became a Paragon as quickly as possible.

"Their actions even created some conflict with the Ancient Desolate Emperor and the Turtle Shell Emperor. Luckily, they solved their differences."

"I see," nodded Wang Wei. He enjoyed reading about the legends of his ancestors. However, he was not jealous since he had his own journey and did not think it would be less epic.

"Although I have many more questions, I will stop avoiding the issue. So, let's talk."
