Divinity and Faith

Naimus shifted his attention to the third possible Heavenly Mandate he sensed.

This Heavenly Mandate was acutely focused on Precept.

According to the vague sensation, if he chose this Heavenly Mandate, he would gradually come into conflict with the God of Precepts.

He did not know exactly what would happen, but one possible future was that he would replace the God of Precepts and become the new God of Precepts.

Looking at these three Heavenly Mandate options, Naimus... chose none of them.

From the current situation, the "Heavenly Mandate" trait itself was not powerful enough to such an extent—one mandate surpassing a Saint, another becoming a Saint of Fate, and another replacing the God of Precepts.

That level of power had already completely exceeded the limit.

In other words, if the "Heavenly Mandate" trait were used this way, it would inevitably receive assistance from external fate.

No matter which one he chose, fate would become the main force behind it.

He would possess freedom, yet also be favored by fate.

And thus be bound by that favor.

That was the truth behind Heavenly Mandate lock-ons.

What surprised Naimus was that fate had not concealed this information.

Instead, it had been naturally mixed into these fate lock-ons. As long as one understood fate, one could naturally make the corresponding judgment.

In that respect, fate was not a shackle or an enemy.

It was merely that the other party was the force driving this world's order. Its mode of operation simply preferred for Naimus to join the order and then further uphold it.

Yet the entire world was not merely a matter of order and chaos; there were more and more complicated factors involved.

Therefore, fate was now using Naimus's understanding of it, with "Heavenly Mandate" as the medium, to recruit him.
