Background / History

Shen Mo first discovers Destiny as a system-like Fate Disk that reveals his otherwise mediocre foundation: Robust Physique, Mediocre Talent, Average Luck, Ordinary Appearance, and Dull-witted Wisdom. Fate and Lifespan are initially unreadable. The panel also records his cultivation, techniques, martial skills, and their progress toward later stages 2.

The system gives Shen Mo a means to alter these fixed traits through Destiny Points. Early on, he confirms that cultivation produces points, while later events show that unexpected opportunities can also reward them 15 865. He uses them to draw Special Destinies, improve basic attributes, and evolve existing traits.

After Shen Mo raises all five upgradeable basic Destinies to Gold quality, Destiny undergoes its largest visible change. Fate manifests as Lord of Destiny, Lifespan becomes visible, the two Special Destiny slots disappear, and Shen Mo can equip all Special Destinies simultaneously 1098.

Destiny’s deeper purpose becomes clear during Shen Mo’s attempt to unite with the Dao. It draws upon the Great Dao attainments of its Lords of Destiny to perfect itself; traits accumulated by prior hosts may be transformed into Special Destinies and preserved within the Destiny Pool after their deaths 1245 1156. Its final revealed identity is the condensed Destiny Great Dao of the next era, intended to follow the end of the Immortal Path Era 1272.

• Physique has seven documented ranks: Weak and Ailing, Robust, Innate Martial Bone, Dragon-Tiger Body, Supreme Divine Fetus, Primordial Sacred Body, and Divine Body 2.
• Luck likewise has seven documented ranks: Constant Misfortune, Average Luck, Great Prosperity, Noble Fate, Ziwei Star Alignment, Heavenly Protection, and Unity with Heaven and Earth 2.
• Basic Destinies initially require repeated promotion attempts and can fail; their cost rises sharply at higher grades 15 322 570.
• Once a Basic Destiny reaches Gold quality, further Destiny Point investment improves its Immortal Gold Nature rather than advancing it to another named grade 1098 1244.

Destiny Points

• Destiny Points are the system’s resource for drawing, equipping, and promoting Destinies 2 15.
• Shen Mo first confirms that cultivation produces them; one month of cultivation yields approximately ten points at an early stage 15.
• Drawing a low-tier Special Destiny costs one Destiny Point in early use 15 22.
• A documented Green-to-Blue Special Destiny promotion attempt costs ten points, while Purple-tier promotions can cost one hundred points per attempt 15 374.
• Opportunities arising during other activities, including Soul General refinement, can award additional points 865.
• Gold-quality Destinies no longer fail promotion attempts; each invested point instead marginally strengthens their Immortal Gold Nature 1098.

Special Destinies

Special Destinies are individual traits obtained through the Destiny Pool, by transformation of extraordinary traits, or through promotion of existing Destinies. Their quality hierarchy is Gray, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, and Gold 8.

• Early equipment limit — Shen Mo begins with two Special Destiny slots and must switch traits according to his immediate needs 2 15.
• Promotion inheritance — A promoted Special Destiny remains within its original category; a physique-type Destiny develops into a stronger physique-type effect rather than an unrelated ability 15.
• Unlimited equipment — Once the five upgradeable basic Destinies reach Gold quality, the slot limit disappears and all Special Destinies can be equipped 1098.
• Trait condensation — Spiritual Powers and certain other attainments can be converted into Special Destinies, allowing their quality to be improved through Destiny Points 1099.
• Restriction — Condensing a cultivation attainment into a Special Destiny can prevent its ordinary improvement, leaving Destiny Points as the primary method of further enhancement 1099.

Documented Special Destinies

Perceive All Beings

Originally drawn as Monster Knower (Blue), this Destiny identifies a chosen monster’s weaknesses by consuming an equivalent value of Spirit Stones 22.

• Promoted into Insight into All Living Beings after repeated attempts 172.
• Later becomes Perceive All Beings (Gold), capable of perceiving information on living beings throughout the world and deducing their weaknesses through Spirit Stone expenditure 1244.
• Can expose concealed characteristics, such as the Heaven-Forsaken Ghost King’s complete vulnerability to fire-attribute attacks 172.

Martial Practice

Originally acquired as Martial Drill, this Destiny allows Shen Mo to deduce immortal arts and accelerate cultivation through Spirit Stones 113.

• Enables rapid progress in techniques otherwise difficult to advance, including raising the Purple Mansion Heart Scripture through Spirit Stone expenditure 114.
• Promoted to Orange quality to further improve cultivation speed and deduction ability 711.
• At Gold quality, can deduce cultivation methods, martial skills, and immortal arts; sufficient Spirit Stones can accelerate practice or advance a technique to the next stage 1244.

Dharma Eye Candle Micro

An evolved form of Eyes Like Torches, focused on visual perception and analysis 65 536.

• Detects subtle, concealed, and minute details that ordinary sight cannot distinguish 537.
• Assists pill refinement, talisman-making, artifact forging, and formations by revealing fine changes in materials and processes 537.
• Its Gold-quality form remains among Shen Mo’s principal Special Destinies 1098.

Cicada Sense

A danger-sensing Destiny that warns Shen Mo of approaching crises 322 375.

• Is tested against Mingyu’s attacks after an upgrade, confirming improved predictive capability 375.
• Advances through Orange quality and eventually reaches Gold 778 1244.
• At Gold quality, detects a crisis before it arrives and identifies its nature 1244.

Diamond Body

A high-grade physique-type Destiny, called Vajra Body when first drawn at Orange quality 537.

• Makes Shen Mo’s body difficult to damage by ordinary means 1244.
• Replaces lower-quality defensive traits such as Skin Toughness 779.
• Supplements Shen Mo’s Divine Body and body-refinement arts, contributing to a physical body comparable to that of an ordinary True Immortal 990.

Ride Clouds and Mist

An Orange-quality movement Destiny that replaces Light as a Swallow 1059.

• Creates auspicious clouds beneath Shen Mo’s feet for movement without consuming Magical Power 1059.
• Is upgraded to Gold before Shen Mo enters the Divine World, where Immortal Arts and Spiritual Powers are dormant 1059.
• Allows Shen Mo to rescue Chen Mengze and Jiang Yingying while they fall in the Divine World 1059.

Relationships

• Shen Mo — Destiny’s current Lord of Destiny and primary user; he seeks to refine it into his own Dao rather than be assimilated by its underlying will 2 1244 1245.
• Previous Lords of Destiny — Earlier hosts whose extraordinary traits and Great Dao imprints were preserved by Destiny; most died before reaching the end of their paths 1156 1272.
• Immortal Path — Destiny uses its Lord’s cultivation methods, immortal arts, martial skills, Spiritual Powers, and Dao attainments to draw upon and perfect itself through the Immortal Path 1245.
• Destiny Pool — Repository from which Special Destinies are drawn; it may contain traits condensed from prior Lords of Destiny after their deaths 2 1156.

Trivia

• Destiny initially resembles an online-game interface to Shen Mo, with equipment slots, color-coded qualities, resource expenditure, and progress bars for techniques 2 8.
• It records technique mastery in seven stages: Initial Glimpse, Slight Success, Entering the Hall, Mastery, Peak Perfection, Profound Mastery, and Return to Simplicity 1245.
• The panel’s early apparent purpose of “changing fate” conceals its deeper tendency to assimilate a Lord of Destiny’s Immortal Path attainments after death 2 1245.
