Great Emperors are\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>essentially Conceptual Creature, their bodies composed of the very\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>concept they cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their flesh and blood appeared the same as ordinary\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>people, they were not. However, body refiners are flesh and blood\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>creatures; it's just their flesh has reached an unprecedented level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who walked both paths, Wang Wei is both a flesh and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>blood creature and a conceptual life form. This paradox previously\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had a subtle influence on his body. However, after the tribulation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everything was solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His concepts were not deeply fused with his flesh, forming a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>perfect balance. The concept and flesh now work together in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>harmony, granting him the advantage of both while also removing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>some of the flaws of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei exhaled deeply as clothes appeared on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel this test was weird?\" After experiencing this\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>tribulation, he had a feeling that there were some secrets as to why\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was in such a manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he took a moment to gather his thoughts and deduce the truth;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the answer did not elude him for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Old Gods,' thought Wang Wei, thinking about his experience of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>meeting Cthulhu during the Cleanup. 'In most iterations of the Old\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gods' myth, people will lose their sanity after meeting them. The\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>spiritual aspect of this test seemed targeted to resist their influence\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Furthermore, in some iterations, people will mutate into\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>abominable creatures. Could Grand Dao have designed this test to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>resist the influence of the Old Gods?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued this line of thought, many ideas popped into Wang\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'According to my theory, Body Refining was the first cultivation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>path of the universe that led directly to the Paragon Realm. If\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cthulhu appeared during that era, it's understandable why Grand\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao would change the test to fight against the Elder God's power.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Wang Wei felt he had come close to the truth. He could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>predict the chains of events. The body refining path prospered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cthulhu appeared, Grand Dao changed the tribulation to deal with\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his problem, and finally, Cthulhu was sealed, and the test remained\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Could Cthulhu be why the first Gate is missing? Or does that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>involve something else?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei did not have an answer yet as there were too many\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>possibilities for this answer, and he lacked too much information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Let's not focus on this for now. The truly valuable information from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this deduction is where Cthulhu originated from. It's obviously not\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a creature originating from this Chaos Universe – unless it escapes\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from the Prehistoric World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, there could be only one answer – from Hongmeng.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This deduction validated one of Wang Wei's most important\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>theories–there are other Chaos Universes. After achieving\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transcendence, a cultivator can escape the Chaos Universe and\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>enter Hongmeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hongmeng, there are other Chaos Universes and other\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cultivators, even creatures who might be born there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cthulhu was one of these creatures, but it accidentally discovered\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this Chaos Universe and took a look. However, the result was its\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>defeat and eventual sealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, things are not so simple. If the myths about the Old Gods are\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>true, Cthulhu is not this weak and should not be captured so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the fact it sufferers such a fate can mean three things:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First, this Chaos Universe is one of the best, so the power ceiling is\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>terribly high. However, this theory does not hold up. No matter how\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>high its power, can it compare to a transcendent creature?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei shook his head; based on the information he knew, he\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>felt it was impossible for Grand Dao and all the universe's citizens\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to deal with a transcendent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The second possibility is that this universe has cultivated a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>transcendent, thus considering its home part of their territory. So,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after Cthulhu broke through this Chaos Universe, another\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transcendent dealt with it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei felt this theory had more substance for multiple reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first is the parameters he attributed to Transcendence. Once a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>cultivator reaches that step, they should have truly achieved\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>immortality and eternity, meaning nothing can kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, sealing them might be different. After all, there should be\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a difference between each Transcendent. So, in a battle where no\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one could kill their opponent, sealing and humiliating them might\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>be how to dictate the victor and deal with contradictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei did not think Transcendents were enlightened beings\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who were above mortal desires and influences. He's sure many are\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as such, but many others also achieved transcendence to be able to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>do what their hearts desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these two opposite mindsets, he did not doubt there would be\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>conflicts in Hongmeng – even with the default setting that none of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>them could die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason supporting his theory was the Ultimate Taboo. He\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had long realized this event involved achieving Transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, without anyone achieving transcendence, how could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>such a thing appear in the universe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there is also the possibility that Grand Dao deduced a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>path to transcendence without achieving it. Then, it used the event\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to elevate the power ceiling of the world by allowing these methods\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to flow out of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei's intuition told him the event of the Ultimate Taboo\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>involved both this Chaos Universe's past transcendence and Grand\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao's scheme. His ancestor, Qiyuan, either took advantage of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>situation to open a path of transcendence for all sentient beings in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Chaos Universe or Grand Dao used him as a pawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things could also be more complicated, and he willingly became a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>pawn just to see the way forward. After all, many of these pinnacle\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paragons who have not moved a single step forward were willing to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>die just to know the possibility that there was a path forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To these people, death was nothing; the truly scary thing was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>knowing there was no way forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third explanation for the fate of Cthulhu is that it was a clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to myths, the Old Gods have infinite clones. Some of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>well-known Old Gods are nothing more than the clone of another,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more powerful Old God, forming a weird chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captured Cthulhu in this Chaos Universe might be one of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>infinite weakened clones of the real Cthulhu, who scattered his\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>essence throughout Hongmeng, hunting for Chaos Universe to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>conquer and destroy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This theory is the one most likely to be true,' thought Wang Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, if that's true, this world is truly a dangerous place.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei's own theory scared him. He was nothing but a little\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor. Although he almost reached the battle prowess of an\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empyrean, such a fact did not make much of a difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nothing but an ant before a Paragon, and Paragons are ants\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>before Half-Step Transcendence, who are ants before people on\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the level of the Six Cardinals. But even the Cardinals are not at the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>level of Grand Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But can Grand Dao deal with a transcendent being like the Old\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gods? The evidence does not show it could. After all, despite being\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sealed, Cthulhu could still influence the universe by creating\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>followers or places like the Abyss Gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More evidence of this conclusion is the fact that Grand Dao did not\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>exile the sealed Cthulhu back to Hongmeng. The logical thing to do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is get rid of such a hot potato, but Grand Dao did not do this, which\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>showed it was not confident in hiding its world coordinates from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cthulhu's main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it sealed the clone with the hope the latter would just ignore it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and no longer intervene. Such a line of thought also indicated that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the transcendence from this Chaos Universe might not be on the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>same level as Cthulhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn it, being too smart is not a good thing,' cussed Wang Wei,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>controlling his mind to not get out of control; he hated nothing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more in this world when things were completely out of his control,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and he was powerless to do anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he was worse than the ant in a confrontation on the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>level of Transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'There is no need to scare myself. Who knows how long this\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cthulhu's clone has been sealed, and the Chaos Universe is still fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the situation is not as bad as I imagine. I only need to continue\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>walking forward until I can become a true chess player.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his immense Dao Heart to calm down, preparing for the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>long journey ahead of him. Furthermore, his current deduction\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>might be extremely crucial for him in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he might have discovered the mystery of the 13 Taboos of\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this world; such information is extremely valuable, whether he uses\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it for himself or trades with some interested people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Alright, let's cultivate. Only true strength can make me feel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>relieved.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Wei exhaled deeply as he continued his retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1535,"2026-05-30T03:37:55.263Z","2026-06-01T04:30:12.387Z",1,"novelbin.me","69b46957af2cdd2ca6efb0fd2048400152f744da5821259cc42618043b3da77f","journey-of-the-fate-destroying-emperor-chapter-908","journey-of-the-fate-destroying-emperor-chapter-906",1860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-of-the-fate-destroying-emperor-cover.jpg"]
