The appearance of these Persons of Heavenly Mandate had once more stirred faint ripples through the Providence of the world's Six Paths.
The fluctuations of those ripples were not great.
Yet any cultivator who paid close attention to the Heavenly Secrets of Providence could detect these changes.
Within that chessboard in the sky, the gazes descending upon it were illusory and distant, yet seemingly real.
With a single thought, all things were born; with a single thought, all things were extinguished.
In the eyes of cultivators who had reached such a level of Dao attainment, the Destiny and Providence of all things in the world were like the veins upon a chessboard—clear and distinct.
They could see through them in an instant, and with one glance, bring forth countless changes.
Yet the mighty cultivators behind those gazes rarely acted in such a manner.
For Persons of Heavenly Mandate bore the Heavenly Mandate and were born in response to it.
They would not lightly interfere in the destinies of Persons of Heavenly Mandate.
Such a method was simply too crude.
Even this batch of Persons of Heavenly Mandate that had drawn the notice of certain cultivators—
Was merely the result of them calculating that sliver of future possibility in advance.
They had simply caused the future Persons of Heavenly Mandate to manifest in the world ahead of time.
Their figures had already existed within the Heavenly Mandate.
They had merely given the wave of Heavenly Mandate in this Era of Variables a gentle push forward.
Persons of Heavenly Mandate bore the burden of the Heavenly Mandate. They were destined to be cultivators unlike all others.
As for how their fate and Destiny would unfold, one only needed to look at the blazing, wilderness-consuming momentum upon the chessboard to see it clearly.
