“`
Luo En replied slowly and thoughtfully.
Hecate glanced at the disciple standing before her and snorted in annoyance.
“You speak as if you don’t have the same thing.”
“But they can’t beat me in the Mortal World, nor dare they lay a finger on me.”
“…”
Hecate had no comeback, her expression growing even darker.
Alright, I’m the easy target now.
“Please rest assured, I will certainly ensure your safety. As long as I’m here for one day, I won’t let any outsider harm you!”
Hearing Luo En’s solemn promise, Hecate’s mouth twitched.
“Should I thank you for that?”
“No need to thank me, it’s only right!”
Luo En displayed not a hint of self-congratulation, his face full of sincere respect for his mentor.
Hecate: “…”
Luo En continued, his face showing a hint of helplessness and regret.
“Of course, compared with the enduring Fate, human efforts do have their limits. Although I wish to protect you forever, there will likely come a time when I’m unable to.”
“You want to know how to strip Zeus of his Destiny, don’t you?”
Hecate pierced through her clever disciple’s real intention, her gaze filled with scorn.
They’re all deceitful and self-serving, yet he still pretends to be a pure lotus in front of her?
Luo En gave an awkward smile, dropped the act, and seized the opportunity to probe further.
“So, do you have any feasible methods?”
Hecate didn’t answer directly but instead threw out a question.
“In your opinion, what exactly is ‘Fate’?”
Luo En pondered for a moment before tentatively answering.
“The inevitable laws that govern the operation of all things?”
Hecate nodded in satisfaction and continued to inquire.
“Then why do Olympus and Zeus receive the blessing of Destiny and become the rulers of this world?”
Luo En narrowed his eyes in contemplation.
“Because the bloodline of the Titans is the Incarnation of the rules, capable of filling the voids in the World and maintaining the operation of all things!”
“Exactly.”
Hecate nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a profound depth.
“Zeus became the Divine King and inherited Destiny, not only because he broke his own Fate, but also because he sent the Old Gods into the Elysian Fields, established the new order of Olympus, perfected the World’s laws, and by continually coupling with various forms of life, sired new demigods, driving the turn of Fate.”
Upon hearing this, Luo En furrowed his brows deeply.
“So, that means his part in Fate is crucial, and his position as the King of Gods is unshakable?”
“But is this World composed only of the King of Gods? Only of the gods?”
Hearing the meaningful murmur, Luo En’s eyes sparkled, deep in thought.
“You mean… everything has its own ‘Fate’?”
Hecate nodded, her eyes showing approval.
“As you think, everything has its own share of Destiny. However, most lives and things are as trivial as grass and as minute as dust compared to the nearly eternal and Immortal gods. Their Fates are too insignificant to even ripple the river of time, let alone affect the overall Destiny of the World, and they usually pass their lives in silence.”
Luo En caught the hidden meaning, a flash of enlightenment in his eyes.
“But there are exceptions?”@@novelbin@@
“Exactly, every era has its protagonists. Some of these beings are heroes that are armies unto themselves, some are Sages with profound strategies, some are monarchs that expand territories, and some are invincible war gods. Because they are favored by Destiny, they often play important roles in the trajectory written by Fate, and to a great extent, decide the future’s course. If you can gather these ‘favorites of Destiny’ under your command, making them follow your orders and execute your will, you can also hold sway over a part of Destiny.”
Hecate fell into a meditative silence, slowly bringing her fingers together in front of Luo En, her face revealing a meaningful smile.
“A tower is built from grains of sand, a boat is sunk by the weight of feathers. As long as you hold a large enough share of ‘Destiny’, you can tip the scales of ‘Fate’ to your side.”
Luo En listened to Hecate’s guidance, his mind suddenly clearing.
So it is!
Destiny is not unchangeable but can be swayed by circumstances;
Destiny is not exclusive to the gods, the ways of the world and the hearts of people can also converge!
Instantly, Luo En’s eyes twinkled, and a joyful smile spread across his face.
He seems to have understood how to compete with His Majesty the King of Gods for ‘Destiny’.
——So, should he start collecting now?
