Devil's Bible

Chapter 394 Destiny Locked In?

It was only at this point that Nemus realized something: he had never truly explored the specific structure of an ordinary person's soul.

This is a kind of cognitive bias.

Because Nems previously believed that his soul during his time as Nems Ain was that of a normal person.

After taking Nair's soul, nothing unusual was found.

Now, as his strength grows and his understanding of the soul improves, Nemus has come back to study the souls of ordinary people and has discovered some significant problems.

"It may appear outwardly like an ordinary person's soul, but in reality, it has undergone a tremendous change." Only then did Nemus realize that the soul of an ordinary person was far less efficient than the soul that had been influenced by his true spirit.

"It's like a communication between two souls from different worlds, triggering a different chemical reaction that accelerates the flow of the soul's essence."

Just like before, Niall's talent was average, his swordsmanship was average, and his abilities were average.

When Nemus first seized his soul, he still needed a certain amount of bi-harmonious action to fully restore his previous potential.

However, even though Nemus's true form is not inside Jianna's body, it does not affect Jianna's swordsmanship talent.

"So that's how it is! No wonder my talent is so amazing!" Nemus exclaimed.

Talent actually comes from two aspects. One is the uniqueness of the body and soul. This is something that is innate. The more unique the soul is, the higher the inspiration will be, and the easier it will be to control power.

On the other hand, there is self-awareness.

In his previous life on Earth, Nemus was quite gifted and had decent learning abilities during his student days.

However, after entering university and society, their edges were quickly smoothed out, and they could not find an opportunity to turn their lives around.

Unwilling to stagnate, yet unable to advance in an increasingly closed environment.

In that world without miracles, Nemes became increasingly muddled and confused.

Until the crossing occurs.

That miracle that shattered the boredom of the world, that thing that completely changed his worldview, brought Nemus to life instantly.

"Since this happened to me, I was born to do great things!" This was Nemus's heartfelt belief.

This confidence, stemming from this understanding, became another of Nems' talents.

The combination of these two factors resulted in the creation of a genius paladin. In his early twenties, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Iron race and created his own swordsmanship, with the potential to become a sword saint.

“So this is fate…” Nemus had a completely different understanding at this moment.

He quickly returned to the body of the Holy Son and carefully sensed the Holy Son's soul.

It was then discovered that, compared to Kenna and Angel A, Sainta's soul had undergone some changes.

"I am my destiny!"

"Or rather, at least it's part of my destiny..."

"I see, I see!!" As Nemus continued his research, he became increasingly aware of the importance of self-awareness.

Soul talent is only one part; the self within the soul is the key.

"Actually, I should have thought of that a long time ago."

"Luck is a weak connection between itself and other things."

"So what happens to fate after removing the element of bad luck? Isn't it just the self left?!"

"Everything begins with the self, and the self is destiny."

"Only when the self is strong enough will fate be strong enough, and only then will the weak connection of luck truly begin to operate."

Nems is increasingly aware of fate, at least on a superficial level for now.

The first stage of the Sword of Fortune is strengthening the body.

Only when one is strong enough can one accumulate more luck. "So, without realizing it, I had already indirectly used fate." Nemus was not surprised by this.

Destiny itself is one.

In the process of using luck, one will inevitably use fate naturally or unnaturally.

However, when one is unaware of the existence of fate, fate exists only as a foundation in the operation of fortune and will not actively manifest itself.

As Nemus came to know the existence of fate, his destiny seemed to have a guiding principle.

At this moment, the special characteristic "Destiny" that Saint Nai had previously condensed was also activated.

[Should we 'lock' the destiny for this stage...?]

A certain unseen message came through, and Nemus was able to sense various destinies.

However, this sensation was very vague.

These destinies only have a general direction.

For example, the first one that Nemus sensed was a direction with some kind of sacred meaning.

If you choose this option, you will be surrounded by good fortune and at the very least become a saint, or at the very most likely become something sacred that surpasses even a saint.

The second type of destiny is a legendary destiny.

If this destiny is locked in, then the destiny will combine with legends to form the "Legend of Destiny".

He is very likely to become the strongest legendary species in history, after all, legendary species exist to make history.

History, however, is the domain of destiny.

In this situation, destiny will be able to exert its strongest power, and Nemus will be fully capable of resolving a world-class disaster, and it is certain that he will be able to resolve it.

In other words, if Nemus chooses this destiny at this moment, and sets his sights on the Earth Calamity, then there is a chance that Nemus can resolve the Earth Calamity.

If we say that a typical legendary figure is merely a hero from a certain period of history who can solve problems for a short time, then...

So if Nemus chooses this destiny, he will become a savior-level being.

Even gods wouldn't touch Nemus in this situation; in fact, some gods would offer him great assistance.

Perhaps it was because fate expected Nemes to take this path that the information about this path was the most complete and clear.

"And then locked in by the influence of fate?" Nemus could feel the power of this destiny, but he could also sense the 'trap' within it.

To be precise, this kind of thing isn't a trap for most people; there's nothing wrong with becoming a savior and saving the world.

Moreover, this kind of savior is not entirely a tool of fate, the kind that is used and then discarded.

Even if fate doesn't involve gods, he will be a general under fate's command.

This is absolutely amazing; in fact, it could be described as something comparable to a god.

Of course, this process needs to be done step by step and requires a lot of effort.

Legend of Destiny can only provide assistance and guarantee a certain lower limit, but it cannot guarantee an upper limit.

If it were during Nemus Anin's time, Nemus would definitely have agreed.

Because this can truly change the world.

Becoming a 'general' of destiny is equivalent to being a saint of destiny, and one can completely limit the scope of the gods.

They drive reforms in the world, and for various reasons, even if the gods' power is affected, they still choose to support Nemus.

"However, that's too conservative." For Nemus at this point, simply pushing for global reform isn't enough...
