Chapter 1768 -s 1714-1715: Transcending Fate
What is the difference between Heavenly Mechanism Deduction and the Path of Destiny?
Simply put, the Heavenly Secret Calculation Path is like doing multiple-choice questions. They already know the range of answers, and then they strive to find the most correct option among them to ensure they do not choose wrongly.
In contrast, the Path of Destiny is like doing essay questions. The answer to the essay is already known to them, and they need to ensure they seek the correct solving process to make the final answer align with their intentions. However, any deviation in this process may lead to a new result, which, although it does not fit them, is destined to exist.
If one were to delve into these two methods, there is actually no absolute right or wrong. However, from a certain perspective, the Heavenly Secret Calculation Path has the potential for error, whereas the results seen on the Path of Destiny are destined to happen, though whether these results will meet personal expectations is another matter.
At this moment, although Divination True Monarch wears a smile, his inner thoughts are in shock, because this confrontation with Fate Controller Star Lord has allowed him to finally confirm a matter that has puzzled him for a long time, or indeed puzzled many strong characters.
The River of Destiny truly exists!
A person’s destiny has been predetermined from the moment of birth—this is the most popular saying among the mortals, as well as a phrase mortals use to comfort themselves.
Of course, there are many mortals who do not resign to fate; they believe this destiny is not immutable and that they can defy fate using their wisdom and effort.
Many cultivators think the same way. They believe the cultivation path is the means for mortals to defy fate, from stepping into the Spirit Realm from mortal routines, ultimately entering the Immortal Path, transcending the ordinary.
In this regard, it’s certainly true. There are many beings who seem to have no hope of attaining the Immortal Path, yet they break traditional notions using their wisdom and effort, transform impossibility into possibility, and finally prove the Immortal Path.
But then again, isn’t that just another part of destiny?
Fate remains a profoundly mysterious entity to the truly strong, even for True Immortal Strong and Taoist Monarchs, who have not truly unraveled its mysteries.
If one says one’s entire cultivation journey is all destiny’s arrangement, then it insults the hardships and efforts they’ve overcome on the way. However, if we claim that destiny’s blessing wasn’t involved, then the opportunistic fortune attained seems like gratuitous opportunities, hard to articulate.
