Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Shi Ruolan's Mansion:

She walked back and forth, thinking about her decision. After hearing Wang Wei's speech, she was convinced he was the one who would lead the new era. Now, she pondered whether to oppose, befriend, or become partners. 

And the deciding factor will be whether to prove the Dao in the Myriad Emperor World.

'I currently have a strength of 2-Leaf and will soon reach the peak of 3-Leaf. By restarting cultivation, I might have a chance to reach 4-Leaf, the middle level of Immortal Venerable. Meanwhile, his strength is already reaching 6-Leaf.'

Shi Ruolan frowned, analyzing all the information she gathered.

'He is currently only Tier 8, meaning he has plenty of opportunity to reach 7-Leaf. With secret techniques, I could breach the gap for a brief moment. However, there is also the possibility he also had some secret techniques.'

Shi Ruolan remembered the battle against Xiao Tiandi. She also noticed how he outclassed Xiao Tiandi in Battle Awareness and experience. Furthermore,  Wang Wei obviously did not use his full strength since he never used his Domain.

'The chances of me defeating him and proving the Dao are extremely low. The rulers might send other Heaven Chosens to infiltrate the Myriad Opening Sect, making the situation more complex.

'So, the best course of action is to go to another Heaven Will World. The Celestial Clan does not need to be the ruler of the new era. I doubt there can be one absolute era after how people reacted to the 2 Suns and Seven Moons. The clan only needs to be one of the main people at the top.'

Shi Ruolan's experience in the lower dimension opened her eyes to many things she had never thought of. And now, after making a decision, she felt a heavy weight lifted from her shoulder, and her mind became at peace.

Without wasting time, she hopped on an Innate Treasure to travel to another World Community. She knew she needed strength to sit at the same table as Wang Wei and negotiate her value. She also required strength to survive the upcoming storm.

Wang Wei's mansion:

He did not know about Shi Ruolan's decision or secret departure. He still marveled at what had occurred and why Supreme Unity did not save his disciple. After thinking about it, he came up with many reasons why.

Wang Wei then suddenly felt something, making him frown. He calculated something before receiving a message he needed to return home. After pondering for a moment, he entered the formation to do so.

And as soon as he appeared, an enormous dark purple dragon appeared above the sky, surrounding the entire world. No matter whether it was mortal, demons, or cultivators, no matter what continent it was, everyone saw the mighty dragon.

The dragon released a supreme and noble aura before roaring to the Heavens, announcing its presence and influence. Then, it gazed directly at Wang Wei before plunging into his body.

All the cultivators who saw the dragon instinctively knew what it was as the information popped into their mind: the Son of the Era. Furthermore, they also knew who was chosen to bear such heavy destiny.

Wang Wei calmly received this title and duty. His ancestor warned him this might happen. Although he disliked Heavenly Dao, over the years, he also understood that the latter's actions were essentially just executing a program.

By cultivating an Outlaw Dao, he activated a program or rule of Heavenly Dao to scheme against him.

"I still don't like you, but I guess our relationship can be somewhat neutral," he commented but received no reply. Wang Wei did not mind as he closed his eyes to sense the changes happening to him.

"I'm officially a protagonist," Wang Wei muttered after opening his eyes. Son of an Era is only a better version of Son of Destiny, granting him immense luck. However, the exciting aspect for Wang Wei was how much luck he already had.

His Human Luck had reached 7-Rainbow Color, he was an Overlord, and now, he stacked the Son of an Era Title; he was now a protagonist in every sense of the word, and even more.

'Regardless, I should be careful, as luck is a double edge sword.' He sent a message back to the sect before returning to the trial. Meanwhile, all the Heaven Chosens were shocked after receiving the news.

The prideful ones gritted their teeth, cursing why they were not chosen. The calmer ones began to plan on how to take the title away: Only two people had different reactions.

Western Continent:

Mo Xingyun calmly looked at what had happened.

"So, my prediction came true; he was chosen to lead this era. However, I did not expect it did not give anyone else a chance."

She squinted her eyes, thinking about her next step of action. She had to plan ahead to survive and strive in the upcoming era.

The other person with a similar reaction to Mo Xingyun was Di Tian. He looked at the changes in the sky, not caring in the slightest. He had a hint that this would happen–especially after Wang Wei passed the Outlaw Trial.

However, according to his theory, the New Era's destiny should have been divided into smaller sizes, with Wang Wei being granted the most. He did not expect Heavenly Dao to be so bold and give everything to him. This choice meant it was a thousand times more difficult to take this destiny from Wang Wei.

Regardless, he did not care much. With his Will, soul, power, and experience, the Son of an Era's Destiny could not affect his mind. This ability did not work when he fought Empress Wu, and it will not work now.

Di Tian only cared about achieving Tenth Extremity and proving the Dao in this generation. Regarding the arrival of the new era, it has to wait for the next generation.

Southern Vermilion Bird Continent, Heavenly Flame Domain:

This particular Domain is famous throughout the entire Myriad Emperor World because it is the place that gave birth to the most Heavenly Fire. There is a legend that the Flame Emperor spent most of his youth in this place, searching and hunting for Heavenly Fires to create his famous Chaos Flame.

Many alchemists will venture into this place to search for Heavenly Flames or pay people to search for them. A few Supreme Sects allied and created a business helping people search for these flames. Emperor Lineages did not compete with them because of how dangerous the place was and because it was less cost-efficient to pay them to do the dirty work.

Deep in the domains, in a separate small world, there was a pool made of a dark and eerie blue flame. Bathing at the center of that flame was a handsome young man with an 8-pack for abs, a black flame mark in the middle of his brow, and a creepy vibe that was somewhat very attractive.

The young man opened his eyes, and they were all black, with no pupil or iris. He slowly walked out of the pool as a dark red robe appeared on his body. His vision then penetrated the small world as he looked at the dragon.

'It appeared not long after losing contact with the master; this is not a coincidence.'

The young man frowned.

'Things will become difficult without help, but the mission must continue.'

The young man took a few steps before stopping. He then looked at a brown spot on his arm.

'I need a new body and one with a high flame talent. Should I go after that Huo Clan's heir? Her phoenix bloodline is perfect.'

As a member of the Soul Race, changing bodies–no matter the gender–was expected. And he could possess anyone he could overwhelm. However, because of the technique he practiced, he needed special flame-attribute bodies. 

'Forget it. The situation has just changed, so it would be best to lay low for a while. Plus, the Corpse Selling Sect has already promised me a new body. With them having branched in different World Communities, it should be easier to find me a new body.'

The young man left his cultivation retreat place to head to the Corpse Selling Sect. Meanwhile, many shadows suddenly appeared after Wang Wei became a Son of an Era, clouding the entire world into this sudden eery atmosphere.

And the situation became even tenser when the Heaven Mystery Pavilion released the divination that some anomalies had occurred in this generation's Heaven Will Battle. This news forced some sects who did not want to participate in this generation's battle to act.

They awakened some of their sleeping Heaven Chosens from past eras since they needed powerful leadership to deal with the upcoming storm.

Meanwhile, after returning to the trial, Wang Wei planned to exit his mansion to go somewhere. Then, he suddenly stopped as he thought of something.

'Is it a coincidence that I suddenly became a Son of Era?'

His intuition told him it was not. So, he divined any recent changes to the world. He did not hesitate to power his incarnations' strength to ensure success.

'So, the Lower Dimension has been completely cut off; this sudden decision of Heavenly Dao was a calculated move with a purpose."

Wang Wei thought about many possibilities, but he had no concrete proof for any of them. And he could not divine or calculate any other information. So, he gave up, labeling this information as important in his mind.
