That finger seemed to exist in the past, yet acted upon the present.
As he watched that finger thrust out, Dongguan seemed to see endless causal lines intertwining.
Because of that finger, cause and effect separated.
He also understood what was going on with that Universe Master body.
Cause and effect were the connections between all things. To discern all cause and effect was to discern fate!
To turn "cause and effect" into "fate," one needed to mark out an independent region and completely control the cause and effect within it.
Through arrangements spanning an immense stretch of time, Wuyin had once controlled all cause and effect within his own Source World for a single instant, thereby ruling its fate for that instant.
Through this, he had gained the recognition of the Source World's supreme rule for an instant. And an instant was eternity, so he had become a Source World Controller, a World-Level Hunyuan.
As the saying went, the number of the Great Expansion was fifty, of which forty-nine were used.
Even when one controlled "fate," that control could never be complete.
Back then, Wuyin had already known that Hunyuan existed beyond the Source World. He could control the Source World, but not the fate of Hunyuan.
Thus, he had merely classified everything related to "Hunyuan" as "the one that escaped," infinitely reducing its influence for a single instant.
But now, this so-called "Indeterminate" was precisely the opposite of what he had done back then.
It magnified "the one that escaped," seeking possibility within impossibility. Nothing could be utterly foreclosed; there ought to be a thread of hope.
When he saw that finger of "Wuyin" within his own eyes, Dongguan understood the principle behind the "Uncertainty Finger," and seemed to glimpse a trace of that level he gazed up
