Chapter 339 - A Mission of Destruction!
Bountiful information entered Noah's mind as he focused on the images of the World of Cultivation and the Magus World. Golden light continued to converge and disperse from his body as [Fate Discernement] worked to show Noah something he never knew before.
This process continued for a whole 30 minutes before Noah finally came to the end of it, the end which caused him to feel a chill run down his back as eyes snapped open!
RUMBLE!
The Fate Lines within his body trembled from the unexpected impact as the Grandmaster reached out and clasped onto Noah's body to stabilize his energies. His gaze was one of wonder as he looked at Noah like he was some prized possession.
"What did you see?"
Noah breathed heavily as he was not even acting, the things he had seen while using [Fate Discernment] being that shocking. His eyes calmed down as he replied.
"I saw...the utter and complete annihilation of the World of Cultivation and the Magus World."
Yes!
Noah's first use of this stupendous ability allowed him to see that in the near future, both of these two worlds would actually face destruction!
This thought drove him to cold sweats as these were two Prime Worlds, what exactly could bring worlds at this level to be destroyed? What exactly was coming in the future?
[Fate Discernement] had only shown him that at this moment in time, the flow of fate was going towards both of these worlds being destroyed. It did not tell him when, nor did he know how- he just held the simple knowledge that both of them would be destroyed. He looked over to the Grandmaster who had begun speaking in a serious tone.
"In the past months, the major force of the Magus World has been harvesting the bodies of the cultivators from the World of Cultivation for their own uses."
The Grandmaster began, but Noah's mind received a bolt as he recalled the Magi he had come across the moment he finished taking down the Devilish Time Unveiler in the World of Cultivation.
He had chanced upon the one called Black Serpent who was hunting the cultivators from the Time Immemorial Sect, choosing to save them as he devoured the Magi and actually obtained memories of their plans in the World of Cultivation!
Their memories told him that the Magi were holding grand designs to build up a force similar to the Punishers that the Celestials held. From the Celestial's side, the Punishers were beings from the Elven Race that had lost their will, giving rise to a force that dutifully followed the orders of the Celestials with strong bodies to aid them.
The main powers of the Magus World sought to create a similar fighting force, and they found their experiments to be working the best while using the bodies of the cultivators from the World of Cultivation. Thus they had begun targeting them as they conducted a project to build creations that fully followed their orders while holding tremendous power!
Noah found out and knew about this plot more than two months ago, but he had simply put it out of his mind as he simply did not want to add another thing on his plate, focusing on infiltrating the Profound Astral Sect as he put this information about the Magus World in the back of his mind.
Yet now...he was receiving this same information again, and this time it was linked to the cause of the possible destruction of two Prime Worlds!
"They hunted down and massacred countless cultivators before their doings were found out, creating a situation where both stars are now on the brink of war. We saw this increasing chaos and discerned fate just like you did just now but at an even higher level, coming to know that the result of this conflict between these two worlds would result in the destruction of both of them."
Noah was listening with rapt attention as numerous thoughts swirled in his head, still shocked at the fact that he knew [Fate Discernement] did not lie to him, and that these two worlds really were facing destruction.
"But the chaos does not just end there. Both of these worlds have their own allies and enemies, where their conflict will embroil numerous Large World and Prime Worlds, contributing to a rapid increase in disorder that will only exacerbate across the surrounding stars."
The Grandmaster waved his hand as a golden plaque appeared on it, his aged eyes reading it as he revealed the contents of the mission that would shock many!
"Thus, we have to act in accordance with our beliefs and bring about Order and Balance, preventing this chain of chaos that will begin with these two worlds at the center. This brought about the mission that would have fallen on Athena's shoulders, and now it had fallen upon yours as well so that you can gain more experience on the workings of fate as you observe the changes to occur with the completion of this mission."
"To prevent the chain of chaos and disorder, we have discerned fate and looked at numerous possibilities, the verdict coming down to a singular path that would allow for the most Order and Balance. The mission you two will carry out is to oversee the destruction of the Magus World before this conflict can continue any further."
…!
Noah couldn't help but look towards this Grandmaster in shock as he continued with an impassive face.
"The Magi have played with forces beyond their control while in a quest for power, their actions culminating to the eve of a war between two Prime Worlds that would go on to cause tens of billions of deaths over the next few weeks as many surrounding powers get pulled in. To prevent this fate and bring about Order and Balance, you two will use a Prime Warship to act out the Verdict of Celestials and bring an end to the instigators of this war."
THUMP!
Noah could feel his heart beat increasing as he continued to listen to the words of the Grandmaster, a shocking mission landing on his lap, and this mission required for the destruction of an entire planet!
