Fighter of the Destiny

(Today I checked the chapters I wrote while I was out and found that the first ones were fine. However, the quality of these recent chapters is indeed a bit average. I have reported to everyone that before and after the Guangzhou Comic Exhibition, my body was indeed a little weak. Readers who saw me at that time, I probably understand the situation, but now that I’m home and in good health, the next step will definitely be great. There will be two chapters updated tomorrow.)

What is destiny? This word has countless interpretations: wealth and poverty, encounters, the course of life, those elusive trajectories, elusive ups and downs, or the mysterious and unknowable providence of God?

If fate is truly unknowable and unchangeable, this existence would be meaningless. The Book of Heaven came to the world, and the beings on the mainland began to practice cultivation and began to borrow power from the stars to transform nature. The practitioners would naturally not accept this conclusion. They will think about what their destiny is, face it with fearlessness, and have the courage to make changes.

The first connection between each practitioner and the world is the night when the fate star is determined, so people's understanding of fate finally falls into the vast sea of ​​stars in the night sky.

Since ancient times, the stars in the night sky have remained constant, both in position and brightness, shining solemnly and eternally on the world. The connections between countless stars are naturally infinitely complex and cannot be completely drawn. Those lines This is especially true for the composition of the pattern.

Looking up at the stars, people will see patterns that are so beautiful and complex that they are heart-pounding, and they will naturally think that there are profound meanings hidden in those patterns.

Countless years ago, the great sages in the state religion vaguely observed some kind of telepathy between heaven and man, and speculated that there was a power in the starry sky that was influencing the fate of the entire continent.

For each individual life, his destiny star, the star field around the destiny star, and the interconnection with the entire starry sky may be the fate of this individual life.

——This statement is exactly in line with the most philosophical and difficult-to-understand explanation of fate in Taoist scriptures: fate is a general summary of the movement trajectories of people.

The infinite starry sky can accommodate countless lives, and can accommodate countless sustenances and hopes. No matter how mysterious the destiny is for an individual, a corresponding description can be found therein.

It can be said that after a person is born, his fate will be described in the starry sky. It can also be said that before a person is born, his destiny already exists in the starry sky, or is a short line. Short lines, or a majestic star map.

If a practitioner wants to change his destiny, he must change the lines or patterns that describe his destiny. He must first change the position or brightness of his life star. And if you can really make the position and brightness of your destiny star change according to your own wishes, then the connections with other stars around you will naturally change accordingly. In other words, the fate of many people will change accordingly. And change.

Destiny never exists independently. Everyone's destiny is closely related to the destiny of others. It is still the explanation in the Taoist scriptures: Destiny is a general summary of the movement trajectories of people.

It’s just that for hundreds of millions of years, the records left by countless stargazers in the mainland show that the stars in the night sky do not move. No matter their position or brightness, they never change. It sounds completely impossible to change your destiny by moving your destiny star. things. Who has the ability to stand on the ground and influence Tianling? Who can reach for the stars in this world? In the last volume of the Dao Canon, the chapters related to destiny are about 600 words in total. Only the second paragraph briefly mentions some possibility. When the practitioner enters the true realm of great freedom, it may be possible to do something. At this point, however, that realm of great freedom is more mysterious than the legendary divine realm. It has always only existed in imagination, like a myth. How can it be taken seriously?

So, has anyone ever succeeded in changing their fate against the odds? According to the records in Daozang or the official statement, since the advent of the Book of Heaven, such a thing has never happened on the mainland. Even if it did happen, because there is no evidence and because the impact is too great, no one dares to discuss it publicly.

In fact, there has been a certain theory or speculation among the people that in the past thousand years, there should have been three fateful changes in destiny.

Only those involved who have been suspected of changing their fate three times have the ability to completely erase all the records in the Qintian Prison and many star-gazing pavilions, and have the authority to prevent the entire human world from discussing this matter, because that is The people involved in changing their fates three times were all emperors of the mainland.

Those three people were Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong and... the Holy Empress of Zhou Dynasty.

…

Thousands of years ago, the officials of the former country were corrupt, and the people were in dire straits. There were demons in the north who were looking for help, and families in the south were alienated and betrayed their morality. Countless rebels raised armies and fought one after another. The country was about to collapse.

In this continuous war, countless strong men emerged on the continent, and even several strong men from the Holy Realm appeared in succession. This was also the first outbreak period in the world of cultivation.

For a moment, the royal flag changed at the top of Luoyang City. Today, a certain general led the deposed emperor into Dongqiu. Tomorrow, the second son of the Xiao family in the south suddenly changed and proclaimed himself Sima. He took the imperial edict from Saintess Peak and led various sects. The strong man will go to Qingjun's side. No one knows who will clean up this broken country in the end.

Taizu was the governor of Tianshui County back then. Because he was related to a favorite concubine of the deposed emperor, he was quite trusted and was ordered to guard the city. You can say that he is low-key, or he is just mediocre. In short, he occupies a place like Tianshui County. , he dared not take a single step out of Qishan for several years. In the eyes of the world, he was extremely mediocre and incompetent. Compared with the glorious heroes at that time, he was so dim. No one thought that he could win the world and guide the country. , his name is often not mentioned. People just think that the geographical location of Tianshui County is good, and Taizu gave birth to several wise and wise sons. He should be able to protect himself in this turbulent era with the word "forbearance", and finally Look at the general trend of the world and then choose the Ming Lord.

Who would have thought that a few years later, the situation in the mainland changed suddenly, the heroes fought endlessly, and all the forces suffered heavy losses. Taizu recuperated in Tianshui County, and gradually became stronger. One day, he led an army of 30,000 people out of Qishan eastward, and unexpectedly defeated him in one fell swoop. Conquering the Seventeenth City, allying with the southern aristocratic families, and receiving the full support of Taoist believers, they unexpectedly defeated the famous Tiger Hill Rebels outside Luoyang City, successfully entered Luoyang City, and the next year they directly captured Kyoto, and in the Book of Heaven He officially ascended the throne in front of the mausoleum and truly unified the country!

Looking back at the history of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty afterwards, there are many things that cannot be explained, and there are many things that are theoretically impossible. For example, if those heroes took a glance at Tianliang County, they would be the first to die. Taizu was still very weak; in the first three bloody battles after Taizu came out of Qishan, every time he saw the situation was critical, he was always able to turn danger into disaster; there were dozens of fierce battles outside Luoyang City, Taizu should have long ago He was dead, but he was not dead. It seemed that there was some kind of power in the dark that was always protecting him.

If we talk about luck, such great luck and luck that lasts for such a long time, it is luck.

After Taizu ascended the throne in Kyoto, the disciples led countless famous generals to conquer everywhere, and the families and sects of the south became vassals in name. Those disobedient heroes from all sides were eliminated one after another. For a time, the world's heroes either died or were captured, and were sent to Kyoto one after another. , How can those strong men be willing to give in? They yelled and cursed endlessly on the execution ground.

There is a saying that started to circulate from that time on. The reason why Emperor Taizu was able to wash away his mediocrity and kill the generals among the strongest men in the world was because he formed an alliance with the leader of the Taoist sect, the Pope of that generation, more than ten years ago, and used a certain method. This secret method changed his destiny and turned his destiny star into an emperor star!
