"The Seven Fiend Tribulation and Yu Xing’s Star Fate Chart are both given by Huai Xu Realm, even if they meet the requirements, one must visit Huai Xu to gain the power."
Thinking this, An Jing closed his eyes and pondered, then Huo Qing and Nian Quan heard An Jing’s voice in their minds: "Can you hear me?"
"Huh, there’s no Spiritual Network and no connection, how can the chip transmit messages?"
Huo Qing looked at An Jing, and after a while, he realized that it wasn’t a transmission via Soul and Spirit, nor was it a short-range communication performed through Spiritual Power by the chip, but rather a voice coming directly from deep within his own Soul Spirit, and he said in surprise, "What kind of Divine Skill is this?"
"A more secretive way of communication."
An Jing smiled and said: "Communication through the Spiritual Network leaves evidence for corporations, and without the Spiritual Network, it becomes very inconvenient. In the future, when we go to places like the Wilderness or Ancient Immortal Ruins, communication would be difficult, but with this Fate Pattern resonance, it becomes much easier."
After thinking, An Jing asked: "Didn’t you guys... feel anything strange just now?"
For the locals of Huai Xu Realm, the awakening of the Fate Pattern mostly requires some enlightenment, or some special opportunity. Although there are those who awaken their Fate Pattern after just a sleep, An Jing had not witnessed that in person yet.
As soon as Nian Quan and Huo Qing entered Huai Xu Realm, they directly awakened their Fate Pattern—of course because of the influence of his Heavenly Mandate, but they must have something special about themselves as well.
At this moment, Nian Quan and Huo Qing also noticed their gradually fading Star Fate Totems behind them. Nian Quan recalled, and frowned, "If I must say, there indeed was something..."
"Just now, it was like a life flashing before my eyes, a review of my not-so-long life. And it foresaw the future."
Closing his eyes, Nian Quan recalled: "After seeing the evil of the large corporations, I wanted to fight against them, this belief is so steadfast, I have a premonition that my future self is the same, a power seemed to see through my will and the direction of my life, and then... disappeared."
Huo Qing also nodded slightly: "Me too. But if we talk about life flashing before my eyes, the days before meeting you, An Jing, were rather vague until all memories became clear—it’s precisely when I came to the realization, discovered that I had been living for others in my past, and then I should also live for myself during that period."
"That resolution, made me completely different from my former self, I vaguely feel, it’s because I completely changed myself, that I was able to receive the Fate Pattern."
Hearing this, An Jing somewhat understood.
As someone who holds the Heavenly Mandate, and having seen many Fate Patterns, An Jing had always wondered on what basis does the Heavenly Dao determine a person’s innate talent and then bestow the Fate Pattern, planting the Root Seed.
Now, combining his own experiences, the secret to awakening the Fate Pattern seems to have revealed itself.
The Heavenly Dao is not a human, nor any life form that humans can understand; it is a geometric body beyond space-time, likely able to see both past and future. From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao which transcends the arrow of time, a person is not just ’their present self,’ but a geometric body of past and future.
In the river of time, humans are like long fish stretched from the past starting point to the future endpoint. Each person has the brightest period of their life in this journey, during which their belief is strong, their will vigorous, and their strength at its greatest, it is the ’most potent destiny’ period, this fish might even briefly leap out of the water, bursting forth with the power of its life.
After this peak of belief, the will gradually declines until death, the fish wanders in the river, never coming out again.
However, if a person has firm beliefs, their will shines continually, appearing immensely vast in the river of time. It’s not just briefly leaping out of the water, but a belief so strong, a destiny so vast that it could keep floating on the surface.
Such a person can capture the attention of that being which watches over the temporal river from above and below.
To receive... [Heavenly Gifted Root Seed].
To receive [Fate Pattern].
The more resolute the belief, the more stable, solid, and powerful they are in the long river of time.
This carrying of power, transcending time, almost eternal, is the source of the Fate Pattern.
Huo Qing and Nian Quan, both changed their fates, altered their original trajectories; their images in the river of time changed due to themselves and became extremely resilient. The intertwining destiny among the three of them is indistinguishable; if one is hurt, the other two suffer as well, and An Jing is the center of this entwined fate, just like a star with orbiting planets around it.
Thus, they also became his supporting stars.
If the two of them did not have their own will to change and beliefs, if Nian Quan and Huo Qing did not make their own efforts, then no matter how much An Jing helped them, it would be like trying to support a collapsing wall with mud; they definitely could not receive Fate Pattern.
"Every man has a destiny, all destiny comes from the heavens."
An Jing murmured: "The gaze of Heaven’s Will is thus the Heavenly Mandate. Earthly Position assists, representing the great momentum of the human realm."
"And Personal Fortune is belief and will, as well as a continual strive in one’s endeavors... "
"Integration of Heaven, Earth, and Man forms the true Fate Pattern."
