Novel Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 430

Eastern Azure Dragon Continent, Light Bringer Domain, Yu family’s Hopeful City:

Li Jun sat on a small wooden boat with a fish rod in his hand; he has been on this spot for the past 2 days. The lake was clear and peaceful unlike his mind.

A small ripple appeared on the calm lake signaling that his rod had caught something. However Li Jun was looking in the distance dazed and unfocused. So for the 20th time in the past few days the fish he caught ran away.

You’re wasting bait suddenly said a voice. The fishes in the lake were spirit fishes with many properties. As such the bait used to catch them was also very valuable.

Li Jun looked at the beautiful girl that smelled like flowers that appeared next to him and smiled stiffly before nodding his head.

Are you ready to talk yet? asked Yan Liling.

Li Jun looked at the river for a few seconds Have you ever felt useless?

What do you mean?

I mean to big brother. Have you ever felt useless?

Yan Liling became quiet as she listened.

I mean if you think about it we bring nothing of value to him. On the contrary we can even say that we are holding him back.

This thought has been in Li Jun’s mind lately. In the Qi Luck Trial they served no real purpose. The role that they played could be replaced by any disciples in the sect.

The same idea applied to what they did in the Heavenly Abode World. Other disciples could also easily conquer it.

Then in the Heavenly Chosen Trial he failed to get a place for his big brother by losing to Fang Lijuan–a person that he once previously defeated.

Then there is the fact that when it comes to Di Tian not only could he not detect anything he would have been more of a burden than any help.

As such Li Jun has begun to question his worth in the team; questioning what he brought to the table.

Yan Liling looked at the dull light in her husband’s eyes; she knew that he was talking and thinking nonsense. And the result of his current depression is the result of a Heart Demon.

All his achievements cannot be replicated by ordinary people or disciples. No one amongst them–including the Contemporary Sacred Sons–could ever defeat Fang Lijuan in a battle–not even in a thousand years.

As for the Heavenly Abode some of the Supreme Gods had reached a Saint strength level so it would be virtually impossible for the sect to conquer this world given the circumstances surrounding it.

As for Di Tian even the True Monarchs of the sect were powerless even big brother Wang Wei did not detect anything so there was nothing that they could have done.

Of course the argument could be made that all of Li Jun’s achievements could be accomplished by Wang Wei alone. He could have conquered both the Warring State World and the Heavenly Abode World.

However there is still a problem with this approach. In the Qi Luck Trial he would still have needed help to govern the country. If he had to play the role of ruler general and prime minister he would have tired himself both physically and mentally.

And at that time the other Heaven Chosen would have taken advantage of his situation. As for the Heavenly Abode World the amount of time he would have to take to infiltrate the Origin Pill Dao Sect then go conquer that world and ensure that the population is large enough for his plan: all this time would have affected his cultivation time.

As a result there is no way that he could have been as powerful as he was now. So Li Jun’s words are nothing but the manifestation of a Heart Demon.

Yan Liling understood that their existence served two purposes: one is to ensure that Wang Wei is not bogged down by trivial many.

That way his strength can grow rapidly without worrying about anything else.

The second and most important purpose is to be his shield during the Heaven Will Battle.

One of the common tactics used in that battle is besieging other Heaven Chosens–especially the ones who have the obvious advantages. Other Heaven Chosens will band together to encircle the people with the highest chance of sitting on the throne.

They will use assassination poison curses forbidden spells and even hold the participants’ families and loved ones hostage if possible. Because of this many sects or factions will raise Dead Man with the sole purpose of exploding themselves to do damage to the enemy.

Many Emperor Lineages and factions of that level will ask the Supreme Land and Holy Land in their territories to send a large number of people to serve as cannon fodder in the battle and in return they will receive generous rewards.

Well sometimes they would also be forced.

The purpose of Li Jun and the other’s existence is to block these people. Otherwise even if Wang Wei could easily defeat them he might be slightly injured in the process his stamina decrease or his state of mind not in its peak

Any of these slight disadvantages are enough reasons for him to lose the Heaven Will Battle–especially with an enemy like Di Tian.

So the purpose of the team is to fight against these people and tactics and if necessary to use the same one against Wang Wei’s enemy.

And this is not a job designed especially for them. No the idea of Emperor’s General is prevalent throughout the Myriad Emperor World. All Heaven Chosens will have a general trained by their sects to help them.

It’s just that not all these generals are as close as Wang Wei and Li Jun. And they do not receive as many resources and training as them. Most generals are treated as pawns to be sacrificed when necessary during the Heaven Will Battle.

Of course there are exceptions besides Li Jun and Wang Wei. For example Ji Song’s big brother was designed to be his main general.

Yan Liling sighed out loud before taking out a piece of paper from her space ring and handed to him. Li Jun squinted his eyes after reading the whole thing:

This is…

Yes. It’s based on big brother’s concept of Industrialization and Mass Production. For the past thousand years I have been studying Artifact Refining to create this prototype design.

What are you trying to say?

What I’m saying is that your feeling of inadequacy is because of your lack of strength. Although you know that big brother does not care whether you are of use to him or not you still cannot accept your weakness.

So as long as you’re strong enough everything will be fine.

Li Jun paused for a moment as he realized that she was correct. His feelings and thought indeed came from his lack of confidence and strength.

Maybe a small part of him still thinks that he is still the little fatty that no one liked that no one paid attention to unless he was being bullied and that everyone despised him because of his low talent.

And without his big brother standing up for him to protect him he would never have the strength and confidence that he developed over the past thousand years.

And Li Jun swore that he will do everything in his power to ensure that his big brother became a Great Emperor–even if he has to give up his life. Even when he was entering the Divine Body Realm the goal and dream he instilled inside his Flame of Good Fortune were that he will be the spear that remove all obstacles in Wang Wei’s path–and at all cost.

Unfortunately recent events have proven that he is incapable of following through with his goals so he questioned everything he believed in and everything he has done.

But just like Liling said his confusion and doubts boiled down to one thing: his lack of strength. It is a shame that most things in the cultivating can be boiled down to this simple fact but it is the truth; an undesired truth but a truth nonetheless.

You may be right. But this is not something that can easily be solved. At my current strength it is very difficult for a sudden increase.

He has pushed his foundation to the peak of what was possible. So it is not possible for a rapid increase in abilities at this stage.

Sure there is replied Yan Liling. Didn’t big brother say that the sect had trials for rare resources? As long as you can pass these trials and get access to them your strength should be able to rapidly increase.

Li Jun’s eyes suddenly lit up after thinking about this. As the next heir of the Li family he has the right to participate in these trials. As long as he talked to his dad there should be no problem getting access.

So without hesitation Li Jun flew in one direction.

However a few seconds later he flew back and kissed Yan Liling on the cheek before saying:

I love you.

Then he flew away once again leaving a beautiful girl smiling ear to ear.

If only he could be dedicated to one girl like big brother he would be perfect muttered Yan Liling. Anyway as long as I’m the Madam of the household everything else is acceptable.

Meanwhile in front of Hopeful City a space crack appeared and a handsome young man with gray-silver hair and eyes came from it.
