Beyond this Heavenly Net Chessboard, some held chess pieces in hand, while others watched with sleeves drawn close.
Others still cast down a single strand of their gaze upon this Daoist dojo shrouded in mountain clouds.
Separated by immeasurable distances, yet nothing could wholly bar the arrival of Heaven's Will.
It seemed that amid the radiance enveloping these chess pieces,
within the Fate River, one thread of Destiny after another had already begun to change.
Favored by Heaven's Will, the Heavenly Mandate was mine.
No matter how one put it, this should have been so.
It was simply so.
Therefore, even if those hands wielding the chess pieces placed down another thread of Destiny,
they still could not completely sever this original Heavenly Mandate.
Cui Zhen naturally sensed it as well.
Lu Qing saw it too.
Someone had already made a move upon the chessboard.
It was not against Cui Zhen, nor was it against the Great Dao Heavenly Heart.
Instead, it crossed a stretch of time and space
and cast down a gaze.
From that moment on, a future heavenly secret—one that might not yet have appeared, or might still have been brewing—was cut off.
Whether it had yet to be born or was still taking shape,
that heavenly secret had already been erased.
Thus, that segment of the future would never appear again, nor would it ever have a future again.
In that fleeting glimpse,
there was only a trace of Hong Guang, like a mayfly.
It passed in an instant.
Prosperity had already faded.
Within that fleeting glimpse of heavenly secrets,
Lu Qing saw a future concerning Nine-Nether Reincarnation.
"Once Nine Nether does not return, though the immortals of the Primordial Era may come back, Heaven's Will is thus, Destiny is thus—countless Fixed Fates, ever-changing Variable Fates.
