Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1554

Chapter 1554: The Chessboard’s Role

Ying Zheng sat on a black throne surrounded by a profound darkness created by his terrible mood. He was reading a scroll intently, which contained a detailed analysis about Wang Wei. It contained information from the lower dimension, but all the events he participated in or is suspected of being involved in.

’He was right to say people don’t focus on his Divination Ability," Ying Zheng thought. ’However, can I really trust his words?’ Ying Zheng was perfectly aware that Hongjun would not just give up after him, and if the latter could reincarnate one person, he could reincarnate others as well.

He’s been keeping an eye out for signs of people from the Prehistoric World. ’What are the chances of two people being reincarnated in the same world?’ Probability-wise, it was low unless someone was controlling it. However, Ying Zheng knew he was not supposed to be in the Eternal Ascension World. He came here after deducing his transcendent path was in this place.

’Since I can predict early on the rise of the Eternal Ascension World, Hongjun can do an even better job. It would make sense for him to send a pawn.’

Ying Zheng paused as he realized something he had overlooked. He focused his attention on the information about Wang Wei’s Heavenly Court. ’I should have caught it before,’ Ying Zheng thought with an ugly expression. The way Wang Wei set up his court was eerily similar to the stories Ying Zheng knew about the Jade Emperor and his Heavenly Court.

Back on Earth, Ying Zheng was once obsessed with immortality and searched everywhere for it. He studied myths and legends, learning about the immortals of the past. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until his death that Hongjun summoned his soul that he finally contacted extraordinary powers.

’Now that I know he’s one of Hongjun’s lap dogs, I must eradicate him,’ Ying Zheng thought, a deep killing intent flashed in his eyes, turning the throne room a deep shade of red. After many years of caution, planning, and due to a fortunate encounter in the Ultimate Taboo, he was now confident he had absolute control over the Jade Butterfly Pendant.

Ying Zheng planned to become a Primordial Chaos Saint before confronting Hongjun, possibly even reclaiming the entire pendant from him. But now, he knew one of the latter’s lapdogs might be in his territory, trying to get him to succumb to Hongjun.

Ying Zheng dismissed the scroll in his hand before sitting straight. For the next two hours, he remained still, thinking only about his enemy and his future. This new revelation has altered some of his plans, so he has taken this time for a more thorough analysis.

"What’s the result of the investigation?" Ying Zheng suddenly said.

"The herb is an extinct material called the Core Grass. It was used for body refining pills, primarily for the opening of the gates," a deep voice responded.

"It doesn’t sound too valuable, so why was he so excited?" Ying Zheng muttered. "Keep searching to see if there are any secrets to this herb."

"As you wish."

"Go investigate my Second Son to antagonize his elder brother. I need to give him something to do so he doesn’t ruin the assembly," Ying Zheng ordered. The prince title of Qin is not based on birth. After all, Ying Zheng had too many of those. It’s decided on strength, and unfortunately, Ying Yongrui has kept the First Prince position for too long, which has gotten to his head."

"Yes, Lord."

...

Wang Wei sighed as he looked at the battle in the arena. "He’s probably going to figure it out." Many people have already figured out he was reincarnated because of how he acts and the things he created in the lower dimension.

These people are not stupid. It’s one thing to have a few wonderful ideas, but something entirely different to have so many, and on top of it all, these ideas and concepts have already been perfected upon their initial creation. The only logical explanation is that those ideas are from another civilization who have already perfected them, and Wang Wei translated them to fit this world.

With Ying Zheng’s suspicious nature, he will start analyzing Wang Wei, and it’s only a matter of time until he figures out the truth since Wang Wei has left too many traces, especially in the lower dimension. However, he did not regret his choice.

’It’s a worthy trade to protect Hong’er. Plus, Ying Zheng and I were destined to clash anyway. This just raises the stakes.’ Wang Wei sipped his wine. The battle suddenly became interesting, and he was about to leave when he sensed something.

"It’s good to see you."

Someone slowly ascended from his shadow. Red Mask bowed.

"How are you?"

"Master, did you forget about me?"

"Of course not," Wang Wei said, his body shifting slightly uncomfortably.

"Then, why haven’t you summoned me?"

Wang Wei coughed lightly. "I knew you should be receiving the feedback from my cultivation retreat, and decided not to bother you. Plus, didn’t I assign you a task?"

"Red Mask looked at him, but did not say anything. "I’ve shifted to all the memories."

"And?"

"The majority are useless and a portion contains useful knowledge — mainly about skills and techniques."
