Chapter 2774 Fate of the Emperor for Five Centuries

“I look forward to the coming of the Age of the Gods,” Donghuang the Great said. “After cultivating for so many years, I often wonder how prosperous ancient times were.”

“Is that so?” Dark Sovereign said mockingly. “How did Emperor Ye Qing perish back in the day?”

Emperor Ye Qing was the taboo of the Divine Prefecture. Others did not dare to discuss this matter, but not Dark Sovereign.

Donghuang the Great was stunned momentarily. He remained silent and did not say anything

“Amitabha.” Just then, Buddha of Destiny said, “I wish to offer Your Highness Donghuang another piece of advice.”

“Buddha Lord, please advise,” replied Donghuang the Great as he nodded slightly. He still acted humble and polite, showing Buddha of Destiny great respect.

Buddha of Destiny said, “Your Highness Donghuang once cultivated in the World of Buddhism. At that time, you had yet to become a Great Emperor. Therefore, I was able to take a peek into your destiny. I noticed that you have the Fate of the Emperor. However, I discovered something else, which I have never told you before. Now, I want to remind you.”

Donghuang the Great revealed a strange look. The other Great Emperors also listened to this conversation attentively.

Buddha of Destiny cultivated Omniscient and could pry into someone’s destiny. However, if the other party were a powerful figure, such as a Great Emperor, he would not be qualified to see into the former’s future. Buddha of Destiny was not that proficient yet.

Nevertheless, the crowd did not doubt his words when he said he saw a vision related to Donghuang the Great when the latter cultivated in the World of Buddhism. Speaking of which, the World of Buddhism placed high importance on Donghuang the Great in the past. He received personal guidance from The Buddha. Moreover, Buddha of Destiny envisioned him becoming a Great Emperor.

“Please speak your mind,” Donghuang the Great said.

“Your Highness Donghuang is peerless in the Divine Prefecture, and you have the Fate of the Emperor. However, it will only last for five centuries.” As Buddha of Destiny said this, he put his palms together and lowered his head.

His words shocked countless people. The crowd, especially the cultivators from the Divine Prefecture, were greatly shocked. Their hearts trembled frenziedly.

Donghuang the Great’s Fate as the Emperor would only last for five centuries?

He would be peerless for five centuries in the Divine Prefecture. Did it mean that his reign over the Divine Prefecture would only last for five centuries?

This prophecy came like a bolt from the blue for the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture. It had been more than 400 years since Donghuang the Great unified the Divine Prefecture. There was not much time left if the deadline was five centuries.

These decades would pass by in a snap. Therefore, one could imagine how shocking the news was.

The Age of the Gods would come. Who would terminate Donghuang the Great’s rule over the Divine Prefecture?

For a moment, the vast space fell into dead silence. No one spoke a word, as though all of them had been stunned.

Then, Buddha of Destiny continued, “Of course, this was only what I saw in the past. Even though Omniscient is profound, it is not 100 percent accurate. The fate of a person can be changed. It is the same for destiny. Perhaps, the destiny of Your Highness has changed after you became a Great Emperor. Your Fate of the Emperor might have been prolonged. What I envisioned in the past might have changed.”

“If everything in the world is destined, I will go with the flow,” Donghuang the Great said calmly. As he said this, he cast a glance at Ye Futian. Quite a number of people, especially the few Great Emperors, caught him doing so.

That Proud Son of Heaven was the descendant of Emperor Ye Qing. He was already on his way to becoming a Great Emperor. Could he achieve his target in the remaining few decades? Would he then end the reign of Donghuang the Great?

This seemed rather impossible. No matter how heaven-defying Ye Futian’s talents were, for him to become a Great Emperor in decades was far-fetched.

Furthermore, even if he successfully became a Great Emperor, exactly how would he end Donghuang the Great’s rule over the Divine Prefecture?

Donghuang the Great had been a Great Emperor for centuries. He had extraordinary talents. Even if Ye Futian caught up in terms of status, he would most likely still not be a match for the former.

After catching Donghuang the Great glancing at Ye Futian, the other Great Emperors also looked in the direction where Ye Futian stood.

Would he become a threat to Donghuang the Great?

Human Ancestor spoke up. “Donghuang, you don’t have to care too much about this. I never believed in destiny. Besides that, as Buddha of Destiny said, you have proven your Way at the Emperor Plane for more than four centuries now. Your Fate of the Emperor is not something that can be shaken so easily. You should not be troubled by this prophecy that is based on something illusory.”

“Hmm,” responded Donghuang the Great as he nodded his head. “I will not be affected by this. If such a day does come where the end of my Fate of the Emperor heralds the dawn of the next Age of the Gods, I am willing to play my part.”

He added, “However, Buddha Lord, I am still grateful for your reminder.”

“Amitabha,” recited Buddha of Destiny. He then said, “I thank you, Great Emperors, for granting my wish and avoiding this catastrophe. This can be considered a contribution of mine. Farewell.”

“Wait,” a voice called out right then, interrupting Buddha of Destiny. The Devil Emperor had spoken, saying, “Since you read that Donghuang had the Fate of the Emperor back then, how many people possess the Fate of the Emperor here today?”.

Buddha of Destiny lowered his head and replied, “There will be consequences if I reveal too much of the secrets of the future. I dare not speak so as not to disturb fate.”

“Devil Emperor, please leave it as it is,” implored Donghuang the Great.

“If there truly is fate and reincarnation, by right, a few people here today should be in Hell,” mocked the Devil Emperor.

“Amitabha,” uttered Buddha of Destiny as he bowed. The Light of Buddha shone, and his figure disappeared as he left this place.

Although Buddha of Destiny had left, the rest of the crowd was still in awe at his prophecy.

Only around 40 years of Donghuang the Great’s five centuries of Fate of the Emperor remained.

Would the next Age of the Gods begin in the coming 40 or more years?

What sort of prosperous era would the future bring if that was the case?

“I am looking forward to this. I hope that his prophecy will come true,” said the Devil Emperor with a smile. “We are leaving.”

After he said this, Yan Guiyi, Yu Sheng, and the Devil World’s other cultivators began to leave. The demonic cultivators in the Ruins Continent also gradually left and ceased fighting. “Oh, by the way, Donghuang, do not forget your promise from before to not touch Ye Futian. The Ziwei Segmentum that he represents is now a superpower in the world. I hope that the Great Emperors here will not stoop so low as to take action yourselves. Otherwise, don’t blame me for replaceing fault with you,” the Devil Emperor threatened before he left. Then, the demonic cloud churned and roared as his will disappeared from the space. Before he left, he warned the Great Emperors from acting against Ye Futian.

“I second his notion. The Great Emperors should not interfere in the battles here. If anyone breaks this agreement, please pardon us for not showing your forces mercy,” Dark Sovereign threatened. There were two Great Emperors siding with Ye Futian.

Their statements seemed to have decided Ye Futian’s stance. He would be on the same side as the Devil World and the Dark World. They stood opposing the Divine Prefecture, the Human Realm, and the World of Buddhism.

The wills of the six Great Emperors disappeared one by one. The sky returned to normal. The war stirred up in Ruins Continent was quelled by Buddha of Destiny. A calamity had been avoided. However, the conversation among the Great Emperors and Buddha of Destiny had a profound impact on everyone present!
