Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1644

Chapter 1644: Is This My Fate?

Heavenly Art Palace:

While Kong and Lin Fan were busy with their own division, Xu Shi also found a way to intervene in the war. The Heavenly Art Division was a minor division composed of scholars and cultivators whose art achievements had entered the Dao. Glass Pen controlled the entire department, but Xu Shi successfully took control of the Music Department.

In the past few yuan epochs, her department has been composing a War Song that they prepared to use on the battlefield. There is already a version of a song with a similar effect from the Second Origin War that was updated, but Xu Shi was not satisfied with the final product. So, she was tweaking it. Her first idea was to take inspiration from her ’Obsession Song,’ but after considering that people fighting this war probably don’t have any obsession to win or protect their homeland, she changed her idea to focus on desire — the desire to win, and more importantly, the desire to survive the war.

Xu Shi strung her qin, each note manifesting Dao Rhymes. She was so focused that she did not notice someone else was in the room. Well, it wouldn’t have mattered even if Xu Shi was in full alert. Xu Shi worked on the song for a few hours before taking a break to rest.

"Human art is truly fascinating. Your race has even managed to create sounds on par with Mother’s natural melody."

"Who?" Xu Shi yelled as she summoned her Proven Dao Artifact. Her heart was racing as she tried to remain composed and in control of her emotions.

"No need to get excited. You wouldn’t have noticed if I wanted to harm you."

Xu Shi looked at the intruder: a beautiful woman with dark hair, clad in black robes, black shoes, and wearing black eyeliner and rouge on her lips, with a small black tattoo running over her left eye. "Who are you?"

"I am Siwangji, the Death Chaos Demon God."

Xu Shi frowned: "And why have you intruded on my privacy?"

"I wouldn’t have taken the risk if it wasn’t absolutely necessary," Siwangji explained. "I came for the safety of your husband and the entire Chaos Universe."

"About Fan’er? What exactly are you talking about?"

"Do you know why our race was imprisoned?"

"I can’t say I do."

"Don’t expect you to, since most of us don’t even know," Siwangji calmly said. "It all started with our youngest brother, Pangu. He was smart and careful, choosing to stay inside his eggs until he was perfect." Xu Shi frowned as she watched this woman lost in her memory.

"...After Pangu defeated all 3800 of us, not all of us died. Most of us remained in the form of a consciousness, broken spirit, or unwilling obsession. So, we watched the terrible battle between him and that agent of destruction. However, what happened in that battle is not important.

"The key to my visit is what happened right before Pangu awakened from his madness and redeemed himself by turning his body into a world." Siwangji paused briefly.

"I saw it with my own eyes: our eldest brother, Hundunxi, secretly took something from Pangu’s body, and after years of observing and calculating, I’m 90% sure that thing was responsible for Pangu’s madness. After that, you can guess what happened. Mother, or as you called her — Grand Dao — was suspicious of us, so she sealed us in the prison to purify whatever power Hundunxi took.

"Sadly, her efforts were in vain. Our big brother went to extreme lengths to hide whatever he stole, and now that we have escaped, he has hidden himself inside your husband to use him as a pawn for his return. We cannot allow him to reclaim his strength and use that power, or the entire Chaos Universe will suffer, just like it did under Pangu’s madness."

"Wait, you said one of you is inside my husband’s body?"

"Yes," Siwangji nodded. "Your husband has been turned into the perfect vessel to hide my brother’s from Mother’s sight."

"That would explain some of his strange behaviors," Xu Shi moaned softly. "But why are you telling me this? Why not report directly to your Mother?"

"I can’t."

"Why not?"
