Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1650

Chapter 1650: Uncle & Nephew (Finale)

"That makes more sense," Li Xingwei nodded. He felt a lot less anxious now that he understood his situation. For a while, his mind got the best of him, and he feared that his talent was a result of being the pawn of an unknown, higher entity, and that one day he would have to repay for having such talent.

Wang Wei noticed his relief. One of the curses of being a Dao Overlord is overthinking or overanalyzing things, always fearing and preparing for the worst. As such, he did not blame his nephew for being paranoid. "You were participating in a competition with Buddhism, Taoism, the Origin Seal Continent, and Kong’s Academy, right? How did it go?"

"Of course, I won," Li Xingwei responded as if this were an obvious answer. "The final reward even allowed me to finally enter the Great Emperor Taboo Battle Realm."

"Well, you’re my nephew, so I should expect no less from you, but what characteristic did you add to your [Existence]?"

"[Absolute Control]," Li Xingwei explained. "I took inspiration from you, my second mother, and from Grand Uncle Wang Tian’s Emperor Scripture."

"That’s an interesting choice," Wang Wei commented. Yan Liling chose control because it perfectly suited her Alchemy Dao. As for Li Xingwei? "Do you want to ensure you have ultimate control over all your Daos?"

"Exactly. Greater Chaos is not an easy thing to wield, so I thought about how I could improve on that aspect. Fate is a great Dao for control, but I couldn’t rely entirely on it, so I thought about the origin of the [Force Control Skill] and how my second mother used it for her Alchemy Dao.

"Lastly, I also added the [Absolute] concept to ensure I never have to worry about losing control over my Dao."

"That was a wise choice," Wang Wei praised. "While we’re on the topic, let me ask: what characteristic did your father use for his Taboo Battle Realm?" He knew Li Jun had done so because of his conversation with Yan Liling, but he never asked for details. In fact, Li Jun was not the only person in the lower dimension who had succeeded in entering the taboo.

During his brief visit and upon seeing the history of his Heavenly Emperor Era, Wang Wei realized another one of his legacies in the lower dimension. After his ascension, many people went crazy searching for the reason behind his immense power. Eventually, news about the Taboo Battle Realms spread, and most Emperors in the new era would pursue this taboo.

"The [Judgment of Soul After Death]," Li Xingwei replied.

"Hmm? That’s an odd choice," Wang Wei commented. Li Jun’s Slaughter Dao contained a small aspect of death, but was it enough for him to engrave such a concept or characteristic into his [Existence]?

"His time as the Earth Emperor changed him much more than I think you anticipated," Li Xingwei explained. "He apparently grew a greater fondness and appreciation for life and death. The last time I saw him, he had become enlightened and was undergoing a drastic transformation. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has changed much the next time we see him."

"Drastic change, you say? Well, now, I look forward even more to seeing him," Wang Wei smiled.

Li Xingwei sighed deeply. "I truly envy your relationship with my father."

"Don’t you have someone you could call a confidant?"

"When I was a child, after hearing about you two, I tried making friends with some of the children in the sect, but one of them couldn’t get over my status. When I started cultivating, I tried to hide my status and make such deep bonds, but they all changed as soon as they knew who I was."

"It’s indeed a blessing in the cultivation world to find someone you can not only trust your back to, but also trust with your life," Wang Wei nodded. "But you don’t need to feel depressed that you haven’t found one yet. Look at my father — he didn’t meet Ji Lanfang until so late in his cultivation career. And he can be considered lucky since some people only found such a friend after living for countless yuan epochs."

"But some also never find one."

"Not with that attitude," Wang Wei said as he swiftly messed up his hair.

"Uncle, be serious," Li Xingwei said as he fixed his hair. "I’m really worried that my talent will always be a barrier to preventing me from making lasting friendships or finding true love." One of the primary reasons he rejected the Demon Girl and many other women was not just because he was not like his father, but because he realized these people only liked him for his potential and what benefit he could bring to them one day.

"Nephew, this is one of those issues that you’re so close to that you cannot see the entire picture."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think your talent is the pinnacle of the Chaos Universe?" Wang Wei asked.

"Is it not? Besides you and maybe Empress Wu, can anyone truly rival me?"

Wang Wei shook his head. "Knowledge about Saints is now more common. Have you ever thought what the child of two Saints would be like? How horrifying their talent would be?"

"By Heaven’s Balls," Li Xingwei cursed.

"Watch your mouth."

"Sorry," he apologized. "But is such a thing allowed? Would Grand Dao really allow these people to reproduce?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
