Destiny is ashes

Chapter 656 Fish leaps over the dragon gate
Human beings are fish living in the long river of time. Lifespan is the length of the fish (influence time), strength is the width of the fish (influence range), and belief or the ability to stir cause and effect is the height of the fish (influence depth).

The boundaries between the three are actually not that clear, it’s just that the analogy is simpler and clearer.

He is long-lived and powerful but he does not disturb the cause and effect. This fish just crawls at the bottom of the river. No one knows about it. It cannot jump out of the river and cannot affect the overall situation. The river remains calm. There is no difference in the world with or without him.

Although he has a short life and is powerless, he can still stir up the world, which proves that he can change the world by coincidence. However, this change is not long-lasting, just like a small fish jumping out of the river. It can indeed make a splash, but it cannot really change anything fundamentally.

Only if one is both long-lived and powerful, and can stir up the wind and clouds, can one leap over the dragon gate, gather the wind and rain and transform them into dragons and snakes, make the sky and the earth change color, make rivers rush, and completely change the world.

In the original Huaixu world, [fate] is an encouragement to those who have enough power to stir up cause and effect, because longevity and strength can be compensated by other ways, but faith and cause and effect have always been hard to come by. Therefore, in order to ensure that those rare heroes can have enough power to change the world, fate, a reward that can directly bring supernatural powers, appeared.

In today's Huaixu world, [fate] has become a benchmark of talent: as long as your belief is firm enough and your ability to trigger cause and effect (to do great things) is strong enough, then heaven will directly give you a fate.

"In essence, fate is not something God chooses for people. Instead, if someone meets the criteria, he or she will be given a corresponding fate. It is an automatic response mechanism - in essence, it is still up to human beings."

After understanding this with the help of 'Revelation', An Jing suddenly realized: "The so-called artificial destiny is to cultivate an ordinary person through extreme environment, gradually making him capable of stirring up the storm - in simple terms, isn't this teaching people to rebel?"

"I'm good at this! No wonder, no wonder the Heaven's Will Demon Cult likes to train members who 'rebel against the sect'. It turns out that they have also explored the essence of fate to this extent!"

"To oppose everything that exists is to [stir up the tide of cause and effect]!"

An Jing has completely understood why the Tianyi Demon Cult is so crazy, and even understands the essence of what warriors call "doing big things".

Warriors do great things in order to stir up cause and effect, making themselves more conspicuous in the way of heaven and obtaining higher destiny titles. This is essentially passing the test of changing the world to obtain higher qualifications.

To examine its essence and remove all mysterious veils, one's destiny is the highest-level professional title appointed by Heaven!

The reason why Huo Qing and Nian Quan were able to awaken their destiny was not only because of their own beliefs and abilities, but also largely because of their own luck - for example, An Jing brought them from the Tianyuan Realm to the Huaixu Realm. No matter how you look at it, this was a huge causal interaction. In the future, they can also use An Jing to travel between the two realms, obtain resources from both realms to grow, and then change the two worlds of Huaixu Realm and Tianyuan Realm to a greater extent.

Those who travel between the two worlds are naturally entangled in great cause and effect and become life-holders.

In addition, the destiny of An Jing is right next to him. With such a great cause and effect, it is natural that the destiny of the two stars [Rahu] and [Yuebei] can be fulfilled!

"Do you feel that you have awakened some ability?"

An Jing asked excitedly. He didn't expect the two of them to awaken their destiny powers on the spot like he did, but a little bit of supernatural power should be no problem.

"It's a bit..."

Huo Qing closed his eyes slightly at this moment. When he opened them again, a rather strange, dim and empty fire had burned in his hands.

The fire was dark red with hints of gold, like the afterglow of the setting sun or the light of a candle that was about to go out, and it gave off a warmth that was hard to describe. In the center was a hollow void, with only the outer layer burning.

At first glance, it looks a bit like the corona, a circle of light surrounding the darkness during an annular solar eclipse. It is a light that can only be seen when the sky and the earth are dark.

"What kind of fire is this?"

An Jing was quite curious, he knew that [Rahu] and [Ketu] were both derivatives of [Tianguang ()], which was a solar and lunar eclipse.

Canglinzu is Jidu, and his magical power is the shadow power of [The world is dark, I am the shadow] derived from the "solar and lunar eclipse". Because Jixing is not only the star-suppressing soil, he can also connect to the [ghost land] and perform virtual shadow escape from the netherworld. An Jing got a lot of spiritual objects and skills from the warehouse of the Yekan Gang this time, and he can directly transmit them through the fate resonance. And Huo Qing's Luohou, what he derived was actually the "residual fire" of the "solar and lunar eclipse", which happened to be the residual fire of the Mars. He was really curious about what power this represented.

"Well……"

Huo Qing also felt very strange. The power of destiny was different from the power of his own cultivation. The moment he had it, he could use it as easily as his own arms and legs, just like a natural limb. He could control it without thinking. But because of this, he could not explain the nature of this power for a while: "I feel like it's used to burn myself?"

"Burn yourself?"

An Jing was stunned for a moment, and Huo Qing actually pressed the Rahu Flame towards his left arm.

At this moment, both Huo Qing and An Jing noticed that the spiritual energy in Huo Qing's left hand was ignited in an instant, and then turned into streams of mysterious power, filling his limbs.

Click!

The muscles in his arm began to swell, his bones and tendons crackled, his entire arm became bigger, and his clothes were broken!

The exposed skin glowed with a dark golden light, and it was obvious at a glance that it was extremely strong.

“Ah?” Huo Qing was stunned. He said in astonishment: “The spiritual power of my hand is gone - but, but it has been strengthened!”

"Besides, I'm so hungry!"

Almost at the same time Huo Qing opened his mouth, his stomach began to rumble with hunger. It was so loud that even Nian Quan, who was pondering his newfound destiny power, turned around to take a look.

"A temporary body refining in the form of a sacrifice?"

An Jing keenly grasped the essence, and he thought: "Yes, Luohou is the heavenly light of fire, the god who devours the sun and the moon. His fire is not real fire, but derivative fire, not fire, but virtual fire. It does not have the appearance of fire, but has the essence of fire."

The external appearance of fire is a series of principles such as burning, ignition, temperature, and destruction, but its virtual essence is a very simple thing.

To ignite (sacrifice) something, to warm or to destroy (exchange) something.

Flames consume fuel, bringing warmth and lethality.

The Rahu Flame that Huo Qing obtained should be a derivative of this concept.

“There’s plenty to eat here.”

An Jing always kept food in his Taixu magic weapon, including a lot of canned food from the Tianyuan Realm, compressed biscuits and purified water, as well as a large number of fasting pills. He immediately moved the food to Huo Qing, who was so hungry that he could hardly stand up straight and had already started to feel dizzy due to hypoglycemia. He forcefully fed him two bags of liquid food and sugar water, and then stuffed compressed biscuits into his mouth little by little: "Don't use your magical powers recklessly next time. It may not hurt you, but it will definitely consume your strength!"

"I... this is my fate..."

Huo Qing, who had a mouthful of compressed biscuits and quickly regained some strength with the help of sugar water, felt a little aggrieved: "I feel that this is how it should be used - can fate deceive me?"

"That means the details you used are wrong. Trust me, I understand fate better than anyone else."
