Wang Yuanshi was far too brilliant. With Gu Shaoshang's current strength, in ten million battles against opponents of the same rank, he could only win three out of ten.
But now, the situation had reversed.
It was not that Wang Yuanshi was weak, but that Gu Shaoshang had long since caught up to the very top echelon after cultivating through endless years.
And Wang Yuanshi already had a flaw.
The once invincible and flawless Wang Chao had developed a flaw after losing to the man named Gu.
For an existence like Gu Shaoshang, one at the same rank as him, that trace of a flaw was already enough.
"Your essence exceeds my expectations, and your heart can be called pure as well."
Within the Sea of Stars, Wang Yuanshi was slightly speechless. "It seems you truly are someone favored by great fortune."
In this battle, he had not held back in the slightest, yet he still could not completely grind away Gu Shaoshang's will, nor could he truly defeat him.
He had seen quite a few people like this before, such as Jiang Wuxian, as well as several people who had traveled alongside him endless years ago.
There were always those favored by heaven and earth, blessed by fate—or perhaps they had been variables from birth.
The matter of fortune was mysterious and profound. Some might not believe in it, but it truly existed.
On the small scale, it could be a village, a town, a nation, or a star. Whoever possessed its fortune could become the richest person in a village, the head of a town, the ruler of a nation, or the master of a star.
On the grand scale, it could be a universe, or even the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, stirring up storms across the heavens.
