"At the very least, the Heavenly Fate the Tianyuan Realm wants to bestow upon me definitely isn't just the 'Seven Killings Tribulation.'"
An Jing was certain of that, because the Heavenly Dao of the Tianyuan Realm very much wanted him to spread Fate Grid Martial Arts, granting him every possible convenience. In a sense, that was exactly what a Naturalist did.
Perhaps... Heavenly Fate and the other Fate Grids were, at their core, simply different ranks of the same position.
At most, they underwent certain changes based on the Fate Holder's own traits and the needs of the Heavenly Dao.
The Seven Killings Tribulation and Naturalist, Nothingness Born and Lord of Heaven and Earth, had all started out as the same kind of position. Some people simply chose to become the Seven Killings Tribulation, while others chose to become Naturalists...
"...I feel like I need to think this through."
An Jing considered it and realized that he could indeed give it a try.
For now, Naturalist was only an alias, but if he could make it real, the world would open up before him.
After retrieving the Five Elements spirit treasures and wood-type cultivation techniques he had bought, An Jing began his cultivation.
Aside from the simplest, most basic tasks—accumulating Spirit Fiend, opening Array Realm meridians, and strengthening the connection between his inner and outer worlds—his main focus was developing new techniques.
For [Taishi Primordial One Heaven and Earth Born], which embraced all phenomena, every new technique and every new array diagram merely enriched its internal diversity and stability. Developing new techniques could increase the quantity and quality of An Jing's Spirit Fiend reserves. The two went hand in hand.
Recently, he had been refining the pure wood-type Martial Meridian Array Diagram, [Jade Mirror Floating Light Bearing Spring Colors].
