At the Heavenly Sect's plaza, Jueyi spoke up. "The Dao Child contest can begin now. Miss Fate, if you keep your word, whoever becomes Dao Child will be eligible to participate in the Heavenly Gate Meeting."
A pleasant voice came from within the white clouds. "Of course. I'll help whoever becomes Dao Child, unconditionally."
After hearing her words, many people looked eager.
That was Miss Fate. People of this era didn't understand how terrifying she was, but who in the Heavenly Sect Era hadn't feared her?
Among the Twelve Heavenly Gates, Miss Fate was easily among the top three.
On Ancestor Turtle's back, Lu Yin kept rolling the die. It landed on two. He waved his hand and tried again.
At the plaza, Hen Xin glanced at Ancestor Turtle. Had Lu Yin come out of seclusion yet?
"Lu Buzheng, the Dao Child contest begins now. The method is simple," Hen Xin said. As his voice fell, a statue appeared in the center of the plaza.
Many people looked confused. They had never seen a statue like it.
But Lu Buzheng and the others recognized it as the Progenitor's statue.
"Place this statue in front of the Heavenly Sect's mountain gate, and you'll become Dao Child," Hen Xin announced.
The Heavenly Sect's mountain gate was far away; the distance from the plaza to its entrance was considerable.
"Anyone who lets the statue touch the ground will cause it to return to its original position. To become Dao Child, you must withstand the pressure of everyone else. That is what it means to be Dao Child: you earn the right to Act on Heaven's Behalf. You'll be a future Progenitor, bearing the fate of an entire continent. That is what Dao Child means." A pleasant voice came from within the white clouds.
