Chapter 402: Doom
One thing that caught Wang Wei's attention was that he did not have a Karmic Thread connecting to Wu Hong. No matter how he looked, he could not find one. However, they were still linked by fate.
So, he concluded that she was not affected by Karma and that there was a slight difference between Karma Threads and Fate Lines.
The line that connected them was that of marriage, companion, fated lover, and so on. Suddenly, Wang Wei frowned. He discovered another Fate Companion Line connected to him.
However, no matter what he did, he could not tell to whom it was connected or find any information from it.
'I knew I was a man destined to have a harem. Hehe. Joking aside, I need to find a way to cut off this line.' The moment he discovered it, his first instinct was to cut it but he failed.
Wang Wei shook his head as he knew that the reason for that was either because he was not strong enough, his understanding of fate was not deep enough, or the other person's relationship with him was very deep making it more difficult to sever.
However, no matter what, Wang Wei was determined to severe that line. Not only because he was loyal to Wu Hong, but also because he was not happy with fate-determining his love life.
It was already a big deal for him to make an exception for Wu Hong, he would not do so for a second person.
Finally, Wang Wei paid attention to his surrounding since his enlightenment was finished.
"It's time to leave."
"Indeed. However, it's a shame that the World Source was also destroyed in the battle," commented Wang Chang, and the others agreed with him. As the name implied, World Source was the fundamental energy of a world.
It's because of it that any world in the Endless Void can properly function–including Heavenly Dao. The more powerful a word, the greater its sources.
Cultivators' battles can be devastating to any world. However, all worlds can use their World Source to heal the damage made by cultivators if necessary. This is also the reason that space will heal itself after being broken in most worlds.
For cultivators, the World Source is one of the highest forms of nourishment. Whether it is to increase their realms, their talents, their life spans, or used to comprehend the law, it is the best resource in the entire Endless Void.
There a rumors that as long as someone has enough World Sources, they can exchange a Heaven Will with Heavenly Dao. However, Wang Wei did not think that this was true.
The quickest way to acquire World Source is to destroy a world and forcibly take it away. With the power of Great Emperors, if the rumors were true, these people should be able to easily slaughter most if not all of the Greater Thousand Worlds and below to acquire enough sources.
After all, many of them have families, friends, and disciples. If there was a way to make them Great Emperors, a few would not hesitate to do so. Of course, there is also the possibility that there are other reasons that they do not do so.
After briefly reminiscing about the loss of such precious resources, the group headed to the city in the void that had the Transmission Array. Wang Wei took one last look at this world before stepping inside the formation.
A white light surrounded him trying as he entered a space tunnel. The formation worked by bending space for two coordinates to meet together. The process has been perfected after so many years by countless sages of the past.
So, it is quick, almost instant.
However, the moment Wang Wei stepped into the tunnel, he saw countless black dots in the passage before everything began to shake. Then, a spatiotemporal storm hit the formation making it malfunction.
'Black Holes? Damn it, this is a Void Storm." thought Wang Wei as he placed a shield to surround him. Then, he was washed away by the storm and teleported away. The other Supreme Monarchs using the formation or observing from the outside did not have the time to react before he was gone.
They all looked at each other with weird eyes wandering about what just happened. Then, they heard Wang Tian's roar:
"Return to the sect immediately."
He had to find his son wherever he was. Once he was back in the Myriad Emperor World, he immediately began to act. Then, he finally returned home to see his wife, staring at him as if he was her worse enemy.
"Wang Tian, where is my son?" asked Yu Yan.
With a wry smile on his face, Wang Tian replied: "There is good news and bad news. The good news is that he is alive–albeit injured but alive."
"What's the bad news?" asked Yu Yan as she instantly appeared in front of him and held him by his arms. Then, Wang Tian explained the situation to her.
"So, you're saying that my son could be anywhere out there in the Endless Void; he could be countless World Communities away in some random world."
"You do need to worry. With our son's strength, no matter where he ends up, he''ll be fine."
Although Wang Tian said this calmly, he was also very worried. His son was already injured, adding to that the possible injuries from the storm, his situation might be more severe.
Additionally, if he is sent to a world that is very exclusive to outsiders, then the level of danger he will face will further increase. Of course, this is not Wang Tian's greatest worry.
What he fears most is that his son is sent to another Heaven Will World. In the worse case situation, he might use some dangerous methods to return to his Quasi-Emperor battle strength.
However, in a Heaven Will World where Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerables exist, he might be in serious trouble.
Yu Yan took a few deep breaths to calm down, "You're going to find him, right?"
"Of course. You should not underestimate the foundation of our sect. Although it will take some time and little resources, he will be found eventually."
Yu Yan sighed in relief. In this situation, her Yu family–even as an Emperor lineage–could not do much. However, the same could not be said for the Dao Opening Sect.
"Alright, get to it."
Wang Tian was a little surprised that his wife was acting so calm. After reading her husband's facial expressions, Yu Yan said: "I realized that I was too emotional previously, and probably would have made the situation more stressful for everybody. So, I will forgive you this time."
Wang Tian as he always enjoyed these moments of clarification from his wife. He gave her a smile before rushing out. He had to mobilize some of the sect's foundations to find his son.
Meanwhile, in some world in a faraway World Community:
A meeting took place with a bunch of men and women dressed in luxurious clothes. All of them had a look of righteousness on their faces, and even their temperament was similar.
In the middle of the room, there were one man and one woman sitting cross-legged on cushions that were placed on a slightly elevated place above the others, displaying their status.
"Our last attacks on the demonic sects were a great success. However, we should watch out in case the Demon Monarchs decided to make a move," said the man in the middle.
"Alliance Lord, there is no need to worry about them. Unless the Demon Monarchs suddenly stop fighting with one another, they will never intervene in our battle."
Many people agreed out loud with the person who made this statement, turning the room into a joyous atmosphere.
"You guys are happy too soon," said the woman in the middle. "There has been precedent throughout history of them even making an alliance when necessary, let alone stop fighting.
"If that day ever comes true, our Righteous Sect will face the possibility of extinction."
The room instantly became quiet the moment she began to talk. Then, the people mulled over her words before one person said: "The Vice Alliance Leader is correct. One small victory is not enough to make us satisfied."
"Yes. What we need to do is how to completely eradicate the Demonic Sects."
The two alliances leader nodded their head, then they decided to take this opportunity to further integrate the strength of all the righteous sects. However, before they could say anything, a crack appeared in the middle of the room.
An injured old man as thin as bamboo was spat out. The terrible stench of grievances and sins assaulted all these people. A look of horror appeared on the face of many of them as they started to wonder whether one of the Demon Monarchs decided to crash this meeting and attack them.
Meanwhile, Wang Wei gritted his teeth in anger as he said out loud: "Damn Karmic Sins."
