Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1393  The Secrets of The Infinite Trichiliocosm

[Unedited Chapter]

—--

The person Five Feathers was flirting with was probably not Undead Phoenix, given how uncomfortable the latter appeared. 'Is that the best friend?' Wang Wei thought. He shook his head, not caring about such detail.

'This period should be close to when she took Undead Phoenix's talent,' Wang Wei analyzed. Five Feathers was currently in the middle stages of the Empyrean Realm, meaning she should have felt the shackle of her talent and wanted a way out.

'I thought I would have landed when she was close to becoming a Paragon,' Wang Wei thought. The weaker Five Feathers was, the easier it was for him to accomplish his goal. However, the fact that he missed his descending mark by such a large margin indicates his poor navigation skill in the River of Time.

'Well, that can't be helped,' Wang Wei reassured himself. He was a poor imitation of a Paragon, which limited many of his abilities. So, he decided not to be too harsh on himself. He also warned himself to become a Paragon as soon as possible.

'Let's not waste time,' Wang Wei thought before acting. He pointed at the young Five Feathers but suddenly stopped as he sensed something. His ChronoSpirit detected an anomaly in the River of Time.

'Did she finally discover something and wanted to stop it?' Someone was rapidly approaching this timeline, and Wang Wei realized it was Five Feather's ChronoSpirit. Since it was her timeline, her ability to mobilize protection was much faster than Wang Wei's.

'Unfortunately, it's too late.' With one thought, the young Five Feathers dissipated to the horror of the uncomfortable young man. Wang Wei heard the unwilling roar of the ChronoSpirit, but he did not care. His mind focused on the repercussions of Five Feathers' death.

'This woman is someone who has a significant effect in the Eternal Ascension World's timeline, meaning the death of her past life should have created butterfly effects with devastating causes. But, from what I know, when I return, she will die, but the effects of her past self dying won't matter in the slightest.'

The young Five Feather's death should have drastically altered the timeline. For example, she would no longer be one of the eight moons, thus fundamentally an entire era of the Eternal Ascension World.

'I know this is the purpose of isolating her Time Mark, but how does this really work?' Wang Wei thought as he closed his eyes, trying to understand what was happening. He had many theories, and the one he favored the most was Cause and Effect.

The cause of Five Feather's death should have catastrophic effects (changing an entire era). However, by isolating her Time Marks, the effects were altered to her future self dying without affecting anything else.

"So, that's how it is," Wang Wei muttered as he figured it out. His theory was correct but also wrong. This process involved cause and effect, but Heavenly Dao or Grand Dao did not directly overwrite causality to make these deaths make sense. Instead, it is an underlying program of the River of Time. Instead, the effects of the death of young Five Feathers were divided into two. The first part, which involved changing an entire era and countless lives, was transferred by creating another timeline. Then, the second part, which involved the death of her future self, was transferred to the Primordial Timeline. In simple terms, another timeline bore the drastic effects, while the Primordial Timeline was responsible for a minor part.

'A brilliant design,' Wang Wei praised as this epiphany increased his understanding of Time Dao and the River of Time. 'Was this Grand Dao's design or something else it borrowed from Earth?' Wang Wei had his reasons for his doubts. A multiverse is defined as countless universes with lives and different rules, societies, cultures, etc. That also means that the composition of the Chaos Universe with countless Chaos Worlds is a form of the multiverse.

'Since the Chaos Universe was already a multiverse, why was there a need for the Infinite Trichiliocosm with parallel timelines? This idea is something that is more common in Earth's science fiction than in a typical cultivation novel.'

As soon as Wang Wei asked this question, he had an answer. The existence of the Infinite Trichiliocosm has made this Chaos Universe exponentially larger than a regular Chaos Universe, and large size means more population, which also translates to more talents and, more importantly, more possibilities for growth and evolution.

'While there are many benefits to such a vast world, there should also be a major flaw: control,' he analyzed. The Chaos Universe itself was already too large, and adding countless more timelines was a recipe for trouble when trying to control such a grand area. No matter how powerful Grand Dao is, it's only pseudo-omniscient and omnipotent, and such a large world can easily give birth to unknown or uncontrollable variables — especially since Grand Dao has to operate under certain specific rules.

'The separation of the Primordial Timeline and the rest was probably Grand Dao's solution at keeping the highest form of control,' Wang Wei analyzed. 'However, this fact also showed that countless secrets and horrors exist in the Infinite Trichiliocosm.'

Wang Wei looked forward to his exploration of the endless timelines. However, he understood that his current strength was far from enough. He regained his focus, and another thought popped into his mind:

'This epiphany is enough to increase my cultivation by a little: so, can I cultivate in this place?' The answer was immediate: no. He had already sensed the rejection of this era, and his intuition warned him of danger if he stayed here for any longer. Wang Wei did not waste time and returned to his time node, but he did not immediately descend to the Eternal Ascension World.

Instead, he wanted to see if he could find a loophole in the lock and cultivate directly in the River of Time. Sadly, someone soon proved to him this was not possible. As soon as Wang Wei sat cross-legged, an illusory creature with an illusory body that emanated a potent chrono energy appeared in the distance.

The creature looked at him with incredible vitriol before rushing toward him. Wang Wei recognized the Time Wraiths and prepared for battle, but a golden light appeared and destroyed the creature.

"it can't be," Wang Wei muttered.

"Yes, Supreme Unity has controlled a few wraiths to patrol our branch of the River of Time," a soothing voice entered his mind.

"He's very thorough," Wang Wei replied with gritted teeth.

"Indeed, but forget that for now. You can't stay here."

"I don't need long," Wang Wei swiftly said: "I just need to summon my main body, and we'll return after regaining his previous cultivation."

"Do you have any idea how dangerous this place is?" Maitreya asked. "Although I have the advantage over him here, don't forget, this place doesn't belong to me."

Wang Wei frowned as he remembered the River of Time was the jurisdiction of the Cardinals. Maitreya might be powerful but she's just a slightly bigger ant before these people. And if he thought about this logically, the cardinals are just the surface danger of this place. He was sure many other transcendents were exploring this place, and who knows whether he would encounter one; no, with his terrible luck, he would definitely meet one.

"I understand," Wang Wei nodded. However, he did not return home; precisely, this body did not. It was already on the verge of collapse, so Wang Wei accelerated the process. He also actively abandoned the spirit particles he invested in this body. Although he was confident Supreme Unity could not do anything to it in Maitreya's domain, he did not want to risk it.

Wang Wei opened his eyes in the secret dimension and quickly sealed his epiphany in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness. Then, the first sight that caught his eye was the sky turning red, followed by a grand celebration of Heaven and Earth. A massive amount of invisible luck and destiny rushed into his body.

'Hmm? 10% of my Qi Luck Dragon just turned transparent?' His White Qi Luck Dragon had a part of its tail that slowly became illusory. 'Is this what Transcendent Luck looks like? Interesting.'

Wang Wei was interested in this sudden change in his luck, especially since he always had the ability to turn his luck completely black. Such a deep mystery about luck/destiny might give him inspiration or another epiphany about Luck Dao. However, this was not the time for that.

The world already knew about Five Feather's downfall, meaning the next part of this event was the plunder of her palace and territory. Wang Wei had already mobilized his people, so he needed to get there before others could react and get the most benefit.

Wang Wei took over another body and rushed over. The entry to the Five Feather's palace was easier than Blood Dragon's because the people inside hadn't reacted to her sudden death. Without activating any protected formation, Wang Wei and his team barged in and started killing everyone they saw while taking treasures. However, the rest of the world also reacted faster than when the Blood Dragon died and quickly began their plunder.
