Chapter 1 A Glimpse of Fate

The black-robed Taoist's casually spoken words caused the green-robed scholar's expression to slightly freeze.

Reversing the Grand Lord's fate to allow him to live?

[Fate] choked for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "If I could do that, why would I need to join forces with you? Wouldn't it be better for me to directly reverse the [fate of all living beings to exist], allowing them to naturally follow the trajectory of fate, naturally die, and their souls be annihilated?"

Wei Yuan pondered, "In other words, the power of fate also has many restrictions."

[Fate] replied with a smile, "Naturally, it needs them."

"Fate is like a long river, constantly surging. All living beings are like objects in the water, mostly just washed away by this river, pulled forward, swirling and surging, unable to be free. But there are always strong individuals, like those at the Daoguo realm, who are like huge rocks connected to the earth's veins. The washing of fate is difficult to move them."

"The river flows on, but the rocks remain – that is the principle."

"Unless special methods are used to shatter these boulders, and then their fragments are swept into different rivers of fate, they can be manipulated at will. In other words, if one can simultaneously interfere with and pull a Daoguo realm expert from different timelines with the power of fate, it is possible to shatter them."

Wei Yuan raised his eyes thoughtfully and said, "Like Fuxi?"

The green-robed scholar nodded without hesitation and sighed with a smile, "Already tried it."

He knew when he made the agreement with Jue whether he could arrive as promised.

As expected, wanting to rely on the power of [Fate] to directly reverse the fate of the Turbid World Little Lord across thousands of years, turning him directly from [life] to [death], was still impossible. A trace of anxiety did indeed arise in his heart.

"It is not necessary to change the destiny of everyone; just a slight flick of a finger can change the fate of one person, then a thousand, then ten thousand, and then overturn the tides of the entire world. However, the convergence of the fates of all living beings into a torrent is difficult to affect you."

"Discovering that others are fighting on the front lines, while you can only watch from afar, and now you can't even watch from afar, hence the frustration?"

"And then help you devise strategies."

"[Nüwa's] obsession is the biggest obstacle preventing the scholar from taking the next step."

"Can easily erase the established fate trajectory of all living beings."

"No need to worry."

Cold and indifferent.

"If this era did not have the green-robed scholar, the first level would be changing his personal fate, the second level would be changing the fate of those around him. Those who died at Zhang Ruoyu's hands might have lived, and might even have established achievements; while the green-robed scholar's good friends might not have been able to rise again and make the achievements of later generations; and a larger step..."

Cangsheng slowly exhaled, the distracting thoughts in his heart, like ripples, appeared and then calmed down completely, without stirring up waves.

The main body is trapped in the Great Tribulation.

A slight ripple arose in Cangsheng's eyes.

He seemed to be both Huan, and, an existence meant to be trusted by Cangsheng.

Zhang Ruoyu pressed his finger lightly on the stone table, closed his eyes, and pondered.

"Cause and effect, you call my Dao [Manipulation]."

"Among them, there is also creation from nothing."

"Yes and no, the most basic point of so-called fate is [state]. If his state is changed, that is the simplest fate. For example, a living person suddenly dies, a weak person becomes ill, a seriously injured person lying in bed waiting to die suddenly recovers. That is a basic unit of fate."

"That is the fate of the entire [era]."

"Without Zhang Ruoyu, would the world be at peace?"

He murmured, "Fate..."

The anxiety in his heart was like ripples on the water's surface.

Therefore, he sighed, picked up a fallen leaf, and said:

He pressed his palm down and said in a calm voice, "There is no need for hesitation."

Yin and Yang changed, day and night alternated, and so a day passed.

One sentence rendered Zhang Ruoyu speechless.

"Hundreds of years from now, a towering tree will grow here."

"[Fate] is the Dao closest to transcendence."

"Yeah, probably thinks that his own miserable situation is caused by himself in other timelines."

"He will only think you are useless."

One predicament after another surrounded Cangsheng, placed right in front of Zhang Ruoyu.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, placed the bamboo pole he was holding to the side, and laughed loudly:

"Green robes in the world, endless worlds, are like tributaries spreading out, revealed before your eyes."

Just as Cangsheng didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang could surpass him in the Dao of the sword.

"While we transcend them, overlooking the myriad."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes carried a smile as he lightly pressed down on Zhang Ruoyu's shoulder. There seemed to be ripples in his eyes, and his face seemed to change, faintly transforming into a harmlessly beautiful woman, vaguely resembling Huan's appearance, Huan's aura, and Huan's fate.

"What do you think fate is?"

"Discovering that you can't help them, hence the anxiety in your heart?"

Zhu Yuanzhang then pointed to the green-robed scholars practicing martial arts diligently on the mountain and said:

"Because that scene is too familiar."

PS: Today's first update... The Grand Lord is almost transcended, while Zhang Ruoyu also has his own plans.

The sun set, the moon rose, and then the bright moon waned in the west, replaced by the rising sun.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"Fortunately, you didn't say such things in front of Zhang Ruoyu."

"I hope you can give it your all and directly erase the 'you' in other timelines."

Zhang Ruoyu sat upright on the bluestone where Cangsheng was sitting, fishing in the myriad clouds, and said in a loud voice:

"Therefore, there is no need to fear, no need to worry."

Contrary to Fate's expectations, Zhang Ruoyu shook his head, his expression peaceful, and said lightly:

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his eyes. This had been delayed for a long time. He was learning Cangsheng's swordsmanship, but he was also talking about the ways of [cause and effect]. The two had already established the cause and effect of mutually teaching each other. Their realms were similar, or there might be a gap in their levels, but it had not reached the level where they could ignore this cause and effect.

"How is it, has the Heavenly Lord comprehended the Dao?"

"Evildoers violate the principle of repaying hatred without any reservations, but they may also kill their benefactors."

"All living beings are just puppets."

"And those who are rescued may give birth to children, and among those children, there may be evil bandits. One day, when the person who enjoyed the shade of the tree retires and returns home, they are intercepted and killed by those bandits. That is still fate."

He didn't hide anything.

The fallen leaf turned into a stream of light, entered the ground, and then took root, sprouted, and quickly turned into a sapling. Zhu Yuanzhang pointed his finger at the sapling and said, "Originally, this tree didn't exist, but now, it has appeared."

"Control this state of mind. With a thousand years of tempering, you will be enough to face the Grand Lord and resolve all disasters."

"It won't happen, but another dynasty will not be Ming. It won't have the policies and changes of the Ming Dynasty. How many people's fates will be affected by this? Even if a unified dynasty that restores the Han Chinese clothing will be born again, it may not be during the Ming Dynasty. It may be earlier, it may be later."

"Try the state of mind closest to transcendence?"

His tone was impatient and sincere, as if their relationship was very good.

At that moment, whether viewed from the aura or from the level of fate.

"It is manipulating the minds of all living beings, and then taking a step further to control all living beings. Yes, yes, but it is not what I seek. The true power of [Fate] does not require the rise of thoughts in the heart, but it can also control the myriad things."

Zhu Yuanzhang ate snacks while feeling happy, and said with a smile:

"Just wait patiently, cultivate quietly, that's all."

He gently lowered his palm.

"Today, let's talk about how to reverse fate with [cause and effect]?"

"It's nothing more than settling the mind for a thousand years, waiting for time to pass slowly, and then stepping onto the battlefield again."

Cangsheng was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said:

"The Great Dao is impartial, fate is ruthless!"

"During those thousand years, someone will rest under this mountain, avoiding wind and rain, and preventing a cold, so they won't go down the mountain with a cold and die a few days later. That can be considered indirectly changing another person's fate, and that person may therefore make a career, pass the imperial examination, and eventually govern the rivers and control floods, saving the lives of hundreds of people."

"However, that thread is in the hands of Heavenly Lord."

As if cast in iron!

Zhu Yuanzhang casually threw away the fallen leaf in his hand.

"No, it won't."

"How about trying to experience the feeling of controlling the fate of all things?" "You can't even do this little thing, you can't do it thoroughly."

"Or, I will strike now and kill him."

The Western Emperor and Houtu have also drifted to the past, I don't know what time period. I wonder if they have broken through the predicament?

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and saw the white-haired Taoist over there seeming to have realized something.

The white-haired Taoist lowered his eyes and replied, "Anyone who reaches transcendence can do this."

He was finding every opportunity to strike at Cangsheng's Dao heart.

"And, the realm closest to the scholar and the Turbid World Little Lord at this moment?"

Zhang Ruoyu felt a sense of being choked up for a moment. He felt that what the white-haired Taoist said was absurd, but thinking carefully, even he had to admit that this was indeed something Zhang Ruoyu would do. He sighed, "Although that's the case, it's indeed difficult to do."

"But it also allows that greatest persistence of being able to claw out bit by bit from the ground even when devoted to the vortex of a miserable fate. Fortune lies in misfortune, and misfortune lurks in fortune, nothing more."

"That is its fate being created."

He simply sipped tea peacefully, watching the rotation of the sun.

"Is it the change of one thing or one event, or the accumulation of countless experiences in a lifetime?"

"The green robes suffer, while you and I overlook their changes here."

"Relying on the obsession with Nüwa, like beasts crawling out of a filthy swamp, they eventually gather together, remaining in a state that is neither united nor separated. Moreover, when they crawl out, they will be full of hideous anger, roaring and roaring their own names."

"If this battle is truly the final battle, I will not be late."

"A savior may save an evildoer."

Zhu Yuanzhang spread out his hands and smiled:

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much of it and cautiously asked, "What would happen if you said that to him?" "I will always help you."

"Of course, if I also reach the realm of transcendence, then there won't be so many restrictions."

"Actually, you have already grasped the power to manipulate Zhang Ruoyu's fate, at least partially."

"I have actually done it more than once."

[Fate] was equally arrogant, believing that the person before him could not surpass him in the Great Dao.

"I may not be able to imagine Fuxi's resilience. Even though I have tried my best to involve the scholars from different timelines in completely different fates, sending them falling off cliffs, dying, and trapping them in predicaments that are impossible to break through, letting them get lost in one heart-wrenching fate after another, he can always climb out."

The white-haired Taoist glanced at him and said wonderfully:

But it also seemed to carry a trace of Fuxi's aura.

"As long as you want to, you can."

"Useless."

"That is changing fate."

He smiled:

"Would he attack me ruthlessly then?"

"Then there is impermanence."

"He will strike immediately, but not to kill you. He will give you countless small snacks, and even offer to rub your shoulders and back, as well as all kinds of flattery on the surface."

Just as it was about to fall, another palm

Steadily grabbed his wrist.

A wisp of divine thought was also thousands of years ago, and at this moment in the real timeline.
