Destiny is ashes

Chapter 684 Naturally
The heaven sent down rain called spiritual dew, and countless seeds absorbed the nutrients. Among them, some grew the largest, casting shade over an area. Their root systems also expanded, absorbing more rain water, making them larger and larger, storing the most nutrients, and preventing new trees from growing in the areas they shaded.

The Heavenly Dao thinks this is not good, so it sends the "Seven Evil Tribulations" to destroy these giant trees, allowing them to be destroyed and burned, turning them into nutrients to nourish the earth once again.

This is the truth about the Seven Evil Tribulations.

On the surface, that seems to be the case.

But as An Jing is probably the only top-level Seven Evil Tribulations in history with both parents alive, he has a slightly different view on this.

First of all, if the world really just wanted to liberate the nutrients in the big sects without any other constraints, then it would just be repeating a boring cycle: the nutrients of the big sects would be released, which would only give birth to another sect, just like after the destruction of the Yushen Court, the new dynasty was the Dachen Dynasty, which was extremely similar to it.

Secondly, are the number of warriors produced by natural cycles really as many as those produced by sects?
An Jing felt that, from an objective point of view, the number of warriors produced by the sect must be greater.

The so-called teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts. It can be said that Heavenly Dao has accomplished this by imparting knowledge to the Divine Destiny, but for other small destinies, it has only given them the qualification to learn - don’t those warriors who have awakened their destinies still have to go to the sect to learn and grow?

Many of those who have no teachers died in the middle of their growth because they consumed too much energy and wasted too much. On the contrary, most of the sect warriors can grow to a good level.

Human beings, after all, still need teachers.

After all, not everyone is An Jing. Even An Jing had a teacher in his previous life!
Therefore, in An Jing's opinion, the sect's interception of the fate was objectively stealing from the world, but in general, the results were much more efficient than the world issuing the fate itself, and it was definitely not just a little bit higher.

Of course, is it possible that Heaven treats the sect as pigs, using the sect's methods that are far more efficient than nature to fatten the pigs, and then kill one when needed?

Not impossible.

An Jing does not feel very 'friendly' to Huaixu Tiandao. Although he is the destiny, he can also feel that he, the destiny, is just a tool that becomes more and more useful the more the Tiandao uses it. If the Tiandao really has a self, it definitely does not 'like' him.

But it is highly likely that Heaven has no self. It is just an aggregate that treats all things as straw dogs.

But even so, An Jing still felt that the probability was very small.

Destroying the mature institutional system of the sect and handing all the spiritual evil spirits equally to all the minds, the final result will still not change. It will still be the geniuses and strong ones who integrate all resources and create an organization again.

Is this right? Definitely not.

The Way of Heaven certainly does not practice egalitarianism. If He were to do that, how could there be any transcendence? Intelligent life might not even appear, because having different minds is not egalitarian in itself.

"Orderly screening of suitable warrior seeds, prioritizing their cultivation, and increasing the probability of awakening their fate is indeed a more efficient method."

An Jing thought thoughtfully: "What's more efficient is that the struggle between sects will lead to the continuous death of warriors on both sides."

"The number of deaths caused by such organized wars is thousands and tens of thousands times greater than the number of deaths caused by spontaneous conflicts among the people. Of course, some of them will return to the sect, but many will also overflow into the world."

"Because both sides are large sects with the means to generate blood, such a struggle can last much longer than a normal struggle between warriors...and the larger the sect, the more grand the struggle between them, so it lasts a long time."

--I see!
As the real Seven Evils, An Jing instantly understood the significance of the Seven Evils in this series of cycles: he is the real calamity, an event and a trigger. His existence itself, or in other words, the existence of destiny itself, will trigger struggles between major sects!
For example, the Mingjing Sect, with this destiny, dared to do many things they were afraid to do, because they had a backup plan for the future and were not afraid of having no successors. However, if the Taiming Sect knew the truth about the destiny, there would be a war among the people. The final result would be either that the Taiming Sect killed the destiny, or that the Mingjing Sect rose up in accordance with the destiny and replaced the Taiming Sect.

[A huge sect fell and turned into a giant whale that nourishes all living things; another huge force crossed the steps and reached a new realm. It may not have huge changes, but there will definitely be new changes] This is the catastrophe.

Using battle as fuel, it burns all the stable and unchanging present, bringing about an intertwined spiral, unpredictable changes, and an ups and downs future.

And after that, if Dachen and Shangxuan Sect knew about it… let alone if the Tianyi Demon Sect knew about it, then that would be another huge struggle!

Although nothing has happened yet, An Jing already understands that is his future.

A destiny that is destined to come true.

It is not a simple deus ex machina, nor is it a matter of laying down all kinds of foreshadowing and waiting for the seeds to grow.

Rather, the wheel of history moves forward as 'naturally' as a rushing river or falling rain.

"Humph."

From Chen Yinzi's perspective, he suddenly noticed that his little disciple suddenly frowned. Although he didn't quite understand, out of concern for his elder, he still asked, "What's wrong? Are you too tired and want to rest?"

"No, Master, I am in good spirits."

An Jing shook his head. He actually knew very well that since destiny had provided him with the convenience and supreme talent, there must be corresponding "responsibilities".

Without destiny, An Jing would not be able to grow so fast. He accepted this and was naturally willing to accept the "trajectory of destiny" that could almost be said to be as unchangeable as the great trend and the long river of history.

A truly strong person will not be afraid, even if he sees a future full of difficulties and obstacles, but will walk towards it calmly.

He will not run away, but face it.

But... An Jing hates everything that is natural and taken for granted.

The two major sects collided with each other, one was shattered to pieces, and the other was reborn from the ashes. This was naturally good for the world, but for humans, for the endless creatures living on this earth, a speck of dust was enough to destroy the lives of countless people.

But if we don't do this, the heaven and earth will not be compensated. Huaixu Tiandao is actually very weak, and An Jing can sense it.

If what the fragments of Haotian Mirror said was correct, then there is a high probability that the immortals and gods on the front line did not win, but both sides suffered heavy losses. When the army of the devil comes again, if there is no fundamental progress in the fate and martial arts, then everyone's life will inevitably turn to ashes, which is worse than the collision between the sects.

This world and this fate are so hateful that they force people to make choices constantly. Even if it is destiny, it is difficult to resist and one has no choice.

But An Jing just didn't agree.

Even though the past had never existed, he just wanted to find a better way, a way that could achieve the best of both worlds, a way that could beat up those damn bastards and burn them as fertilizer to make up for the world, and at the same time not affect everyone's life!
——You said don’t force it?
Then I'll force it!
