Chen Tong waved his hand and the book appeared in his hand. He quickly flipped through it, and his eyes lit up after reading the content. Then, he put it away with a smile that displayed his content.

As he watched Wu Hong leave, he started to wonder why sent a clone in the lower dimension. For a powerful cultivator such as Empress Wu, all her actions may have profound meanings and serious impacts.

"Should I try to calculate the secrets behind this?" muttered Chen Tong as a look of struggle appeared on his face.

"Anyway, her real body is in the Eternal Ascencion World and cannot interfere in the lower dimension. As for this clone, no matter how powerful it is, it will not be more powerful than a Great Emperor."

After making a decision, Chen Tong activated all the formation inside his secret hideout, then entered a secret room. The room only had a futon and a pyramid-shaped crystal about 25 centimeters in height.

After sitting cross-legged on the futon, Chen Tong began to move his fingers to calculate the secrets of heaven. A mysterious atmosphere enveloped the room, making him look sacred and holy. Anyone who looks at him now would feel that they have learned all the knowledge and secrets that ever was and would exist in the vast universe.

While Chen Tong was deep in his calculation, the secret space he was hiding started to shake. The formations surrounding it manifested themselves in the shape of runes, then cracks appeared all over them.

Chen Tong opened his eyes with a look of horror, coughed a mouthful of soul blood.

"The Ultimate Taboo?" he muttered as his body became illusory, then started to fade away. Immediately, a white smoke flew from the crystal in the room and entered his body. As a result, he stopped disappearing, but his complexion was as pale as a ghost.

And the look of horror on his face did not go away. Chen Tong remembered the last time that the [Ultimate Taboo] appeared. The final result was that countless Paragons, Fiendgods, Dao Monarchs, and Immortal Kings died and their Dao disappeared. Myriad races and worlds were annihilated, and the power structure of not only the Eternal Ascension World but all the Chaos Worlds were forever changed.

As for people like Great Emperors, Empyreans, Dao Ancestors, and Immortal Venerable? Well, they were nothing but cannon fodder in this event.

In the end, even Great Dao was forced to intervene and soothe everything out.

Amidst all the mighty beings and races that participated in this event, only one person survived: Empress Wu.

And even she paid a terrible price as a result.

As for Chen Tong, when that event occurred, he had already left the Eternal Ascension World to explore Chaos. And once he heard about it, he hurried back home.

Unfortunately, as soon as he returned, some people did not want him to participate and reap the benefit, so they besieged and killed him. If it was not for the powers he was granted as an Eternal Emperor, he might have been dead for real.

Chen Tong took a deep breath to calm himself down to remember the information he had about the [Ultimate Taboo].

"Could the Empress want to try again?" he muttered. "Probably not just her, but many of these dead old guys are probably waiting for the situation to revive themselves.

"In that case, should I hurry up?"

Once his thought process reached there, Chen Tong stopped as he seemed to remember something. He gritted his teeth as he cursed.

"I can’t revive now. Damn those 7 parasitic bastards. They used to be nothing but a bunch of weak cowards, but now..."

Chen Tong stopped talking as he felt a mysterious power blocked by his formations. He knew that it was his cursing of those people that made them sense it. If he was at his peak, this would not be a problem.

Unfortunately, now, he is nothing but a remnant soul.

So, he sighed deeply while thinking to himself: ’You guys will have your day of reckoning.’ He then sat back on his futon and used the crystal to stabilize his injury.

He knew that his injury was very serious and would even greatly delay his resurrection. Nevertheless, he was still satisfied with the information he just received. With it, he can prepare earlier and have an advantage.

This time around, he was determined to participate in the Ultimate Taboo and reached the benefit. As for the danger that lies ahead of him, he did not care.

To him, truly dying in the pursuit of the Dao was worth it.

...

After Wu Hong left the Slaughter Trial, she did not travel far before feeling Chen Tong’s prying into her secret. Honestly, she was not surprised as this was his character which has not changed after so many years.

After shaking her head, she took out a unique Void Boat from her space ring as a form of travel. After using her origin essence to activate it, the boat broke the space to travel in the far distance.

And this time, her destination was quite far. With each space jump of the boat, she traveled from one World Community to another. The fact that her Void Boat had such ability showed how powerful it truly was.

After traveling for more than a month, she finally arrived at her destination. It was a giant shield that looked like an egg floating in the void. Unlike the Myriad Emperor World where people could see the five continents floating in space, the World Shield that surrounded this world had an immortal-like fog that blocked people’s vision from the outside.

As Wu Hong gazed at this world, she could not help reminiscing. This world is called Pursuing Longevity World and has a great relationship with Wang Wei.

In the previous timeline, Wang Wei failed miserably during the Heaven Will Battle. He was no match for Di Tian, not even close. Luckily for him, the latter did not want to kill him, so he along with a few other participants survived.

After this failure, Wang Wei was not discouraged and was prepared to seal himself in Blood Stone for many generations to wash away his karma, then try again.

Unfortunately, tragedy soon befell him and his loved ones.

After becoming an Eternal Emperor, Di Tian tried to resurrect his wife but failed. No matter what he tried, he could not bring her back. In the end, he became convinced that the method to succeed lied with the knowledge from Wang Wei’s past life.

As a person who cultivated the Dao of Reincarnation, it was quite simple for him to realize that Wang Wei was reincarnated. After coming to this conclusion, he headed for the Dao Opening Sect demanding Wang Wei’s memories.

The latter refused, an act which sent Di Tian over the edge. So, a war began between those two. Unfortunately, despite the Nine Emperor Formations and Artifacts of the sect, despite the countless Sleeping Dao Ancestors and Immortal Venerable, despite the hidden methods left by the previously departed Emperors, the Dao Opening Sect lost this fight and was completely destroyed by Di Tian.

After all, the latter was not just a normal Eternal Emperor, but a unique and powerful one.

On top of that, since the sect no longer had the protection of the [Spirit of Epoch,] they could not rely on their Qi Luck or on Heavenly Dao to survive. Just like that, the most powerful sect of the Myriad Emperor World was destroyed, forever gone from the annals of history.

In the final battle, as Wang Wei watched all his friends, family, and loved ones being massacred by Di Tian, he wailed in agony at how powerless he was. He blamed himself for what happened, for letting his ego get the best of him.

So, out of spite and hatred, he detonated his soul to prevent Di Tian from getting what he wanted.

However, he was not dead. In that timeline, he did not cultivate the Dao of Fate, instead, he cultivated the Dao of Life and Death and the Dao of Reincarnation–just like Di Tian. So, right before his death, he managed to successfully cast a reincarnation spell to be reborn into another world: The Pursuing Longevity World.

Although Di Tian tried to pursue him into reincarnation, luck was in his favor as the powerful being in the forbidden land–the Nether Hell–did not want anyone to interfere in the lower dimension’s Reincarnation, so he intercepted Di Tian and prevented him from chasing.

Wu Hong sighed as he woke up from her memories.

"Hopefully, things will not end the same way this time. And if fate is truly irreversible and things return to the original track, I will remove all my restraints and intervene– no matter the price I have to pay," she muttered.

Then, with a firm gaze, she stepped into this world. No amount of hesitation could be seen on her face from now on.
