After losing the battle, his other self took time to recuperate, preparing to seal himself in Blood Stone and compete for the future Heaven Will Battle. However, tragedy soon came knocking on his door.
Di Tian visited the Heaven Mystery Pavillion and had Old Man Chu divine the best way for him to revive his wife. Under the blessing of his power, Old Man Chu directed him to Wang Weiâthe memories of his past life, to be specific.
Di Tian immediately visited the Dao Opening Sect.
At first, he was cordial, asking for an exchange of profit for these memories. But Wang Wei was adamant; his memories from Earth were one of his greatest secrets, and he was not prepared to tell anyone. Additionally, his intuition warned him something terrible would happen if he gave Di Tian his memories.
The Dao Opening Sect supported his decision, even after Di Tian, the Nine Samsara Emperor, became hostile. A great battle transpired. Sadly, Di Tian was not a normal Eternal Emperor.
Although Di Tian did not find Empyrean Nine Pillar and acquired his inheritance, he was still an Eternal who succeeded in establishing his Nine Extremity Foundation.
The battle only lasted a year; to be precise, the Dao Opening Sect survived one year under Di Tian's power, rapidly consuming its foundation.
The entire Myriad Emperor World watched as the most powerful sect in the world and one of the oldest died in a matter of a year.
Wang Wei watched his other self experiencing this event. During the entire war, he was powerless and was protected. He often asked to be sent to the battlefield; at times, he wanted to relent and give Di Tian what he wanted.
However, his father and mother would refuse. The sect's ancestors did not give up and chose to fight to their last breath. As such, he watched Origin One, Sword One, Desolate One, Ancestor Wucheng, Miscellaneous One, his father, grandfather, and motherâthey all died one by one until he was the last one remaining.
Wang Wei watched as his other self watched Di Tian with hatred before exploding his soul. Finally, he saw how the latter chased him into Samsara.
Luckily, Old Man Nether intervened since he treated Di Tian as his pawn to control Samsara in the lower dimension.
After his reincarnation, he was born in a Heaven-Will World called Pursuing Longevity World. Although he had the lowest grade of talent in that world (1st Grade Spirit Root), this fact could not stop him.
His other self used knowledge from his previous life to make up for his talent. He also combined the two cultivation systems, allowing him to cultivate an even better Duyi Realm than his previous life. Finally, during the Heaven Will Battle, as the only individual in the world who wields the power of law, he slaughtered everyone and became an [Immortal Emperor] or Great Emperor.
Wang Wei calmly watched his other self; a suave and handsome young man with flowing red hair.
However, his eyes and aura displayed extreme gloominess, hatred, and a sense of self-destruction.
Wang Wei continued to watch his other self's journey. However, things became a little blurry after he ascended to the upper dimension. Wang Wei could tell the Eternal Ascension World was experiencing a terrifying war; however, he could not see the exact details.
However, he saw some of his other self's experiences. He saw his first meeting with Wu Hong while they were stuck in a secret realm. She was besieged by countless people and forced into this secret realm, which was prepared especially to exile her.
Meanwhile, Wang Weiâwho was looking for opportunities to increase his cultivationâentered that place by accident. In some ways, their meeting could be said to be fated. Wu Hong's strange eyes after they first met prove he was correctâthey were fated to meet.
After escaping the secret realm, Wang Wei used the chaos of the upper dimension to ruthlessly gather resources, killing and destroying numerous sects or factions in the process. His actions garnered him too many enemies, so he was constantly on the run. Luckily, Wu Hong would often come to his rescue, and in the process, she became the only person in this world who could warm up his cold heart.
As for the other ancestors in the upper dimension? Wang Wei did not see any interactions between his other self and them because of how blurry many things were.
However, he could feel the latter's extreme hatred of them for not preventing the sect's destruction or even avenging it.
After becoming an Empyrean, his other self finally accomplished his revenge. In the process, his mind went to a dark place, and Di Tian suffered for it.
'Endless emptiness and loneliness,' thought Wang Wei as his soul synchronized with his other self.
These two emotions were intense, reaching the level of overwhelming the mind.
Soon, the situation turned worse. His other self used his power to create all the members of his sectsâincluding his family. However, such an act did not bring him any joy; on the contrary, it drove him to a deeper abyss of despair.
He knew these creations were not the people he longed to see even in his deepest dreams, and such a fact tore apart his Dao Heart and drove him to the edge. So, he decided to end all his suffering.
He gave up all his goals and ambitions to become free and unfettered. He no longer cared about his regret of not seeing his family back on Earth one last time and chose to end everything.
No, something is wrong,' thought Wang Wei as he looked and felt how his other self was. 'With my willpower, how could I give up so easily?'
His goal is to achieve ultimate freedom, and once he succeeds, isn't it easy to revert what had happened to his family and sect? So, such a setback should not bring him to this level of despair.
Wang Wei frowned as he continued to watch. Wu Hong showed up at his lowest point but did not prevent him from sinking too deep. She cared for him during this time, and they truly fell in love.
'Is this the power of fate? I needed to reach such a low before my relationship with Wu Hong could be confirmed. Or is it something different?'
Of all the explanations his mind came up with, he thought this one was the best, followed by the fact that his future self battle with Grand Dao has reached the point of affecting all timelines, and Grand Dao used extreme depression to get rid of some versions of himself.
'This deduction seems like vital information,'
thought Wang Wei as he felt he might have caught an inspiration. Sadly, it was fleeting, and he could not think what it was no matter what he tried.
Without much of a choice, he focused on what happened next.
After this event, his other self chose to leave the Eternal Ascension World, which seems arduous despite how blurry the entire event was. However, Wang Wei understood why he did it. He had become one of Wu Hong's weaknesses in this chaotic time, so leaving was the best way to protect her and himself.
Wang Wei did not see his other self's adventures in another Chaos World. The next scene he experienced was when he returned to the Eternal Ascension World, he saw the love of his life being besieged by countless individuals. So, they team up, and he uses his new Fate Dao to kill many people that day.
After that, this strange experience ended, and he no longer saw his other self's journey. Wang Wei floated above the River of Time with many thoughts rushing through his mind.
"So, why am I seeing this? Why this timeline of all the infinite ones?" he uttered, and surprisingly, he received an answer.
[This timeline used to be the Prime Timeline] "Used to be? Meaning it's no longer? Wait, who's speaking?"
Wang Wei looked around until he saw something in the distanceâanother him. He had the same handsome face, gray hair, and eyes that seemed to know all the universe's secrets.
Although the man looked exactly like him, Wang Wei could still notice some difference. Firstly, that version seemed ancient, indicating how old he was. Secondly, he could feel the entire River of Time trembling under this person's feet.
"Worthy of future me," said Wang Wei with a smile; he knew he could observe so many things about this being because he allowed it, not because of his ability.
"So, why are you here?"
"Once you reach the peak, go revisit the origin,"
said the other Wang Wei before disappearing as if he never existed in the first place.
"What does that mean?" uttered Wang Wei with a speechless book. "Could it be that everyone who can divine the secrets of Heaven and Earth must act and speak in such a mysterious manner?"
Wang Wei shook his head; these words can be interpreted in too many ways. So, he decided to ponder them later. He would most likely know their meanings when the opportune time arrived; before then, it would probably be useless to dwell too much on it.
'Well, this experience has been riveting.'
He disappeared from the River of Time and opened his eyes in the Chrono Chaos Realm.
