Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor

Chapter 1199 Learning Experience

-----

"Lord Creator," Wang Chuangsheng said before kneeling. He had reached the pinnacle of this world, but even then, the Lord Creator seemed unfathomable to him.

Wang Wei, who was floating in the air with his hands behind his back, nodded. "You did not disappoint me, becoming the first Empyrean of this world."

"I tried my best to be worthy of the talent you granted me."

"Your life has been challenging, and you\'ve survived many things. Have you ever wondered why I\'ve allowed so many things to happen when I have the power to stop it?"

"I wouldn\'t dare question your, Lord," Wang Chuangsheng swiftly replied. Since his creation, he has indeed experienced many great things. There was the [Division of Race], where all the original 1,269 million creations and their descendants formed clans and races before starting a war between them. After years of fighting, Wang Chuangsheng rose as the leader of the human race and, eventually, the ruler of the Fate Dominating Continent.

After a short period of peace, he had to face the [Continent War]. Everything was peaceful when the five continents first encountered each other. They exchanged knowledge and resources. However, such peace did not last long before an all-out war started, devastating the entire world.

Once that was settled, it did not take long for the [Destruction Lord Invasion]. A powerful cultivator appeared in the Destruction Continent and started another invasion. The man was fierce, and one of his [Three Generals] was also an expert of Death Dao, leading a legion of undead to ravage the world.

Wang Chuangsheng almost died confronting the Destruction Lord. Luckily, he was the final winner, bringing peace and prosperity to the land. Of course, as always, such peace was fleeting. The next catastrophe was the [Fanatic War], in which someone calling themselves the Divine Priest gathered power using the Lord Creator\'s name and tried to conquer the world.

This event was a stain on Wang Chuangsheng\'s honor and legacy as he believed the Divine Priest that he was the emissary of the Lord Creator, so he joined his side as the Sacred Son of the religion, helping them in their conquest. Luckily, Wang Chuangsheng learned the truth eventually and put an end to everything.

After that event, Wang Chuangsheng became a recluse, not paying attention to the outside world. Unfortunately, the people had to ask him to return due to an event now labeled as the [Chaos God Rebellion]. Someone woke one of the sleeping Chaos Gods from antiquity, and the latter went on a killing spree. It absorbed people\'s blood, flesh, and soul to maintain its power and even become stronger.

By the time people discovered Wang Chuangsheng\'s location, the Chaos God was already too powerful, so many heroes fought and died to seal this catastrophe. Now, Wang Chuangsheng had reached the end of the Dao and was the most powerful entity in this world, thus hailing a time of peace and prosperity.

"You\'re an intelligent being, so it would be weird if you didn\'t question it." Wang Wei knew the Fanatic War happened because of Wang Chuangsheng\'s crisis of faith and questioning his existence and purpose.

"Lord -"

"I\'m not here to blame you, just to provide an answer," Wang Wei continued. "You needed to have a hard life and be tested to be prepared for the Creation Tribulation."

"Creation Tribulation?"

"You are limited by this world - I\'m sure you\'ve already sensed that your strength can no longer increase."

"Indeed."

"If you wish to leave this place and exist in the same universe that I do, you must survive a terrifying tribulation. And when I say terrifying, I mean terrifying."

Wang Chuangsheng\'s heart skipped a beat as he understood the underlying implications behind these words. Many things he had previously thought, deduced, and guessed became the truth in this short conversation.

"Do you want some last-minute preparation, or do you want to leave now?"

"I would love to say a few words with my family, but Lord, could you give more information about this tribulation?"

"No problem." Wang Wei sent the information into his mind, and after processing it, Wang Chuangsheng went to talk to his wife, two sons, and daughter and had one last meeting with his clan. He did not tell them the truth but just reassured them.

"Alright, let\'s go." Wang Wei brought him out of the Grandmist Wheel into the Void Battlefield. "Disappointed?" Wang Wei asked, making Wang Chuangsheng laugh in embarrassment. "You\'re in an isolated void to prevent the tribulation from affecting others. My world is not that barren."

"I see." Wang Chuangsheng sat in the void to prepare, and ten minutes later, a cloud gathered in the void. Boom! A red thunderbolt descended from the sky, and Wang Wei immediately frowned as the bolt contained a True Will.

Bolts after bolts descended from the sky, not giving Wang Chuangsheng a chance to breathe. He fought fiercely, using all the Fate Techniques he had mastered; he pushed his artifacts to the limit to assist, but the bolts seemed endless. Meanwhile, Wang Wei was worrying because it was already the 103rd bolt, but this thing did not seem like it was stopping.

Unfortunately for him, his worries were correct. After the 234th lightning bolt, Wang Chuangsheng could not protect himself, and he dissipated into mist as he failed the tribulation.

"Something is wrong," Wang Wei muttered. "Could it be because I\'m trying to create an Empyrean with a Supreme Outlaw Dao? Or..." He squinted his eyes. He entered the Grandmist World and revived, no, recreated Wang Chuangsheng, even remaking the memories of surviving the tribulation.

"Lord, I\'m sorry to disappoint you." Those were his first words after reviving. "Please give me another chance."

"It\'s useless."

"Lord!"

"You\'re technically immortal as long as I\'m alive. However, the tribulation becomes exponentially difficult based on the amount of time you\'ve failed," Wang Wei replied. "I can give you another chance, but not now."

"I...understand."

"Don\'t beat yourself too much," Wang Wei patted his shoulder before disappearing. He now had to train someone else and decided on a non-Outlaw Dao. He created a new Thunder Race, and their leader was their champion. The woman, named Wang Lei, had destiny on her side, so she rapidly grew to Wang Chuangsheng\'s level after many catastrophes that served as training wheels. Of course, Wang Wei did not live through all of them and just jumped into the future when she was ready.

He took her outside for the tribulation. Then, he calmly watched as she was obliviated in the 457th thunderbolt. He knew what was going on by now, but he refused to give up so easily. So, he started again. His next champion was someone other than someone who cultivated the Grand Dao Source. No, he opted for an Insurgent Empyrean.

He created triplets based on [Essence, Qi, and Spirit]. One cultivated their bodies to the pinnacle, the second cultivated Qi, and the other focused on their souls. Finally, they fused once they reached the Empyrean Tier. Sadly, Wang Shen died after the 786th thunderbolt.

Wang Wei immediately started on another attempt. He knew why these people failed, and the answer was simple - True Heavenly Dao did not want any Creation Lifeforms in the lower dimension. But Wang Wei wanted to leave one for his sect, and he also saw these events as a training method for future creation.

For this attempt, he created the sixth continent: the Ability Continent. In this continent, people did not cultivate. Instead, they would awaken a talent/ability and develop it to a higher level. The upside of this method was that the abilities were powerful, weird, and even considered balance-breaking. The downside is that the people in this continent had weak bodies (between Tier 0 and Tier 3) and shorter lifespans.

Wang Wei\'s champion for this round was Ability User with a power called [Survival]. This ability was similar to the X-Men character, Darwin, whose ability was to evolve to adapt to any situation - including death.

Sadly, Wang Dawen did not survive long. After the first thunderbolt, he adopted and became immune to it, so the tribulation changed to flame after the 4th bolt, which he also immediately adopted. But on the 5th attack, a multicolored lightning bolt contained power from all 3800 Daos.

Wang Dawen\'s body could not quickly adapt to all these powerful concepts and ideas, and he exploded.

\'Well, at least this was educational,\' Wang Wei thought as he shook his head. He stopped this pointless struggle and returned to his retreat. He closed his eyes to enter his cultivation state, and his mouth twitched.

\'So slow,\' he thought. His previous cultivation speed was like a state-of-the-art spaceship with Quantum Drive, allowing faster-than-light travel. But now, it could only be compared to an obese child with short legs. Luckily, this was the base cultivation speed, so he immediately added all his advantages. But even then, Wang Wei was not entirely pleased as his speed was only on par with the fastest bullet train in the world.

\'Besides the merit, the effect of everything else has drastically decreased, especially the Grand Dao Source Tree - this thing is now useless,\' Wang Wei thought with a frown. \'If only I could elevate the Bodhi Tree to Tier 11.\' He sent a clone to the Source Qi Space to find a Qi that could improve the tree\'s quality. However, he knew the tree would take too long to evolve, even with the Qi.

Wang Wei connected to all the souls in his Grandmist Wheel, borrowing their power to help cultivate. He noticed he could no longer accelerate time inside the Grandmist World while cultivating, which was a shame. Regardless, he now fully understood the need for the Grandmist Wheel. His cultivation speed now could be described as a modern-day rocket. Although less than it used to be in the Emperor Realm, most of his peers still need to gain this level of speed.

He improved the Time Acceleration Formation in his room, pushing it to the absolute limit before focusing solely on his retreat. After what felt like an instant, he opened his eyes.

"77% - I thought I could reach 80% and more," he sighed. He had underestimated how difficult cultivating in the higher realms was. "It\'s time to leave."

Wang Wei checked outside, and 350,000 years had passed since the banquet, and he was now over 200 Yuan Epoch in age. The people in the upper dimension would freak out if they knew of this. For example, Emperor Kong became an Empyrean in the 3 Yuan Epoch, but that was the time that passed on the outside. No one knew exactly how much time he spent, but his success in the three Yuan Epochs is a testament to how good his Time Acceleration Formation/Artifact was.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had even greater achievements since not even a Yuan Epoch had passed since he proved the Dao.
