The chibi young master walked toward the chibi cultivator and slapped him, then began to beat him. The infographic showed the young master’s lackeys joining in, comically beating the chibi cultivator.
After the beating ended, the young master walked away with his lackeys, laughing proudly.
"Yes... as you all have guessed, what tipped the balance was a man-made disaster. As the saying goes, heaven sets the stage, but man must act to make it happen... and in this case..."
As Wei Chen explained, the infographic showed a scale tipping toward the bad side. Then, sothing dropped from the sky onto the good side, balancing it again.
"It’s the act of man that triggered it."
What dropped... was Heaven’s Destiny!
At first, this Heaven’s Destiny rely balanced the scale, but as ti passed, it continued to grow larger and larger until the scale tipped once more, this ti it tilted a little bit toward the good side, and nothing fell to counterbalance it on the bad side.
"As you can see in this example, Heaven’s Destiny is sothing that continues to grow until the Heaven’s Chosen fulfills their destiny. It will not stop advancing."
The infographic then showed the chibi cultivator, who had been beaten earlier, stumbling upon a manual, a heaven-defying cultivation thod. Now, the chibi cultivator could cultivate, and his progress was unbelievably fast.
"Now, the Heaven’s Chosen can cultivate. But why was it that before this, he couldn’t?" Wei Chen asked the audience, leaving them puzzled before continuing.
"There are many possible explanations. For instance, his physique might be a rare one that requires extrely specific conditions to awaken, such as being beaten half to death, having his dantian destroyed, or being poisoned to the brink of death, or even... needing a specific rare cultivation thod."
With this explanation, many cultivators nodded in agreent. This was a situation they were familiar with. One’s physique is a key factor in cultivation, no matter who they are.
"Another possibility is a deficiency in the spiritual veins or dantian, caused by various factors, injuries sustained by the mother before birth, prolonged exposure to poison, or damage received before reaching the proper age to cultivate."
"These situations are not uncommon, especially in environnts with intense power struggles such as royal families, large clans, or sects with hereditary systems," Wei Chen explained.
At this ti, on the flying ark traveling toward the Heaven’s Spire Sanctuary Secret Realm, Shen Tianxuan was watching the broadcast on his U-Phone.
As he watched this specific part, his mind wandered back to his youth. He once had a genius younger brother, born from a concubine. His mother, the legal wife, felt threatened by the concubine and her child. Out of jealousy and fear, she poisoned them both and left their bodies in a mass grave far outside the secret realm.
"Could it be... no, they’re already dead. It’s not possible. I’ve been watching too much of this nonsense. I’d better spend this ti cultivating," Shen Tianxuan muttered to himself before turning off his U-Phone and walking into the cultivation chamber on the flying ark.
On the screen, Wei Chen continued,
"All of those are examples of why Heaven’s Chosen may be unable to cultivate until soone triggers their awakening. There are other reasons as well. So Heaven’s Chosen live in peaceful environnts, so they see no reason to grow stronger, until that peace is destroyed, such as through a sect annihilation or a clan purge."
The infographic continued.
"At this point, the Heaven’s Chosen’s cultivation rises at an astonishing rate. It could be said that they beco geniuses of a millennium. And once the Heaven’s Chosen gains enough strength, as is often the case, they seek revenge!"
As the explanation continued, the chibi cultivator rushed to confront the chibi young master once again, beating him up. The young master, unable to fight back, called for soone stronger to face the Heaven’s Chosen.
The new opponent fought fiercely but was still defeated after a hard battle. This ti, the young master called for his strongest backing, his grandfather.
The grandfather appeared and beat the Heaven’s Chosen severely.
"As you can all understand, most powerful clans or sects have several protectors. When the weaker ones cannot win, the stronger ones co out to defend their reputation. To regain their lost face, they must either kill or severely punish the Heaven’s Chosen," Wei Chen explained.
On the infographic, the grandfather brandished his sword, preparing to kill the injured Heaven’s Chosen lying on the ground.
The infographic then shifted to the scale once more, showing it tipping toward the bad side again.
"As you all know, it’s man who triggers calamity once again. And as I said before, if Heaven’s Destiny is a book, then the Heaven’s Chosen is the protagonist of that book, they will never perish or stray from their path."
As the explanation went on, the Heaven’s Destiny on the good side of the scale grew once more, tilting the balance toward the good side again.
In the representation on the infographic, another white-haired old man appeared, blocking the grandfather’s sword to defend the Heaven’s Chosen. This expert helped the Heaven’s Chosen escape from the clutches of the young master’s grandfather.
The Heaven’s Chosen this ti also gained a master, and under this expert’s guidance, he soared to new heights.
"As you can see, this conflict escalated from a simple act of bullying into a clash between two powers. The new master of the Heaven’s Chosen may have an unspeakable background, or there may be another kind of deal involved, such as what happened to Vice Sect Master Jian Ganglie. He was required to serve and join the senior’s side in the higher realm after his ascension," Wei Chen explained as the infographic shifted once again.
The scene changed to a battle between two powers, the clan of the young master and the forces behind the Heaven’s Chosen. This ti, the much stronger Heaven’s Chosen defeated not only the young master’s grandfather but even the clan’s ancestor, who had just erged from seclusion.
Outside, viewers who had watched the previous broadcast rembered the incident with Jian Heng and were filled with disbelief and excitent.
anwhile, the chat beca even livelier.
The Wise King: [Does this an one can identify a Heaven’s Chosen by observing this pattern? Interesting... but this wouldn’t happen if they were killed before their destiny was activated, right?]
Old Man Who Likes History: [I think that the mont a man-made calamity arrives, their Heaven’s Destiny is already triggered.]
Azure Sky Elder: [What a bunch of nonsense.]
Sky-Severing Demon – [Jade Spirit Shard]: [ Then go kill Jian Heng if you want to prove it’s nonsense, you old dog.]
Azure Sky Elder: [You!]
Sky-Severing Demon – [Jade Spirit Shard]: [ You what!? Want a taste of my sword? Say it here, or shut up!]
Azure Sky Elder: [...]
Handso Tall and Rich – [Nine Dragon Jade Cauldron]: [ Please use a gifted comnt worthy of your station. If you keep using the lowest tier, people might think the demon path is having too much hardship to spare a few spirit stones to appreciate soone’s work.]
Sky-Severing Demon – [Nine Dragon Jade Cauldron]: [ Who said I don’t have spirit stones, you brat!?]
At this mont, the screen shook as a magnificent throne descended into view. It was carved from precious jade in the shape of a large lotus, surrounded by powerful spiritual qi. Upon it sat an avatar, the avatar of Handso Tall and Rich, or Xin Hao.
Handso Tall and Rich – [Stellar Lotus Throne]: [ Oh? You dare challenge ? I accept!]
At the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Mo Jue was about to press the button on his U-Phone when Mo Xingyao quickly intercepted him, slapping his wrist to stop him before he wasted even more money on a higher-tier gifted comnt.
"Father! What are you thinking? Do you really think we have enough spirit stones to compete with that idiot who has nothing but spirit stones?" Mo Xingyao scolded.
Sky-Severing Demon – [Jade Spirit Shard]: [ Heh! You’re just an idiot who only has spirit stones!] Mo Jue replied spitefully.
The screen shook again, and another throne descended.
Handso Tall and Rich – [Stellar Lotus Throne]: [ Exactly. What can you do about it? If you’re so capable, try earning even one-tenth of the Xin Clan’s wealth before barking at again.]
Sky-Severing Demon – [Jade Spirit Shard]: [ You!]
Seeing the lively chat, Wei Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly. These people really loved to show off.
The screen returned to the mural. "As stated in the mural, an unawakened Heaven’s Chosen is no different from an average person. They could be mortals, low-ranking disciples, or even considered trash in so clans."
"The reason for this lies in the balance of heaven. Because they possess such imnse potential, they must also endure great hardship in their early life. These hardships gradually lessen over ti until they beco no different from ordinary people. Without a trigger, they will remain average for their entire lives. However, the dormant power still lies within their destiny, waiting to be awakened by human action," Wei Chen explained before continuing.
"So... they are rare, rare enough to be almost negligible. But then, why must we be wary of them? Why must we stay cautious? How rare are they in practical terms?" Wei Chen said, about to continue to the next topic.
