529 Destiny Changes: The Birth of the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole! (1/2)
The man in white frowned.
”The Empire of Yutang. Since when does this empire possess the world hegemony emanation as he could see it right now? Even when it was built hundreds of years ago, its providence wasn't as strong nor has it ever received God's recognition. Its providence will only grow weaker generation after generation, falling from the changes of dynasties at most across seven generations. The Emperor of Yutang now is the sixth generation emperor. Even if there's still some providence left, it should show signs of weakening. How can it be showing such vitality instead?”
”Among so many countries, the Empire of Dongxuan is the one with the most vibrant and lively providence. The founder of the Empire of Dongxuan had founded the empire with his grace; its national destiny and fate are very well known. The empire expanded gradually in the two hundred years since its establishment. The Purple Star is already shining on Dongxuan, it's only waiting for its time to shine brighter. That will be when Dongxuan conquers the world, a fate that cannot be reversed.”
”When based on manpower, resources, wealth and national strength, the Empire of Dongxuan triumphs over the rest. Talents in the realm of literature and martial arts are abundant and they truly are the cream of the crop – these bountiful talents equip the empire with the capability to lead the world thus the school has delivered the Kismet State Oracle to recognize Dongxuan as ruler of the world – it is a prophecy that matches the heavenly timing. But now, why is the spiritual dynamic in such an unprecedented state of chaos? Had Dongxuan's war of a confirmed victory been lost?”
”It would still be alright if Dongxuan has only lost temporarily but what's the reason behind the chaotic astral dynamic now?”
”Several years ago, the Residence of Nine Supremes descended onto the world out of the blue. It elevated Yutang's national fortune and seemed to allow Yutang a sliver of hope in the world hegemony but no extreme will hold for very long. The school had already foreseen the forceful presence of the Residence of Nine Supremes – their presence is nothing more than the last radiant burst of Yutang, they will only make the Empire of Yutang a shared target among the other countries. The barely remaining national providence will weaken over time due to this and will even indirectly help Dongxuan in expending the other countries' providence.”
”What happened next was evident of this school's oracle. The Nine Supremes have all perished in the battle at Tianxun Cliff. The national providence formed from the heaven and earth fortune brought along by the Residence of Nine Supremes had already diminished by this year. It proves that God's will is not something reversible by man –destiny is not to be disobeyed. To fight against heaven with mere human power, it will only result in burning and leading men to their death. Now though, the situation is different, vastly so.”
He stood among the clouds, his frown locked upon his face, unable to figure out the current situation.
”The whole school has become disorderly due to this matter. Everyone is at a loss.”
He heaved a long sigh.
The reality was just like how he had mentioned. The School of Kismet State was in chaos due to the current change and had become separated into two parties. Both sides were verbally attacking each other ceaselessly to the point that it was about to escalate into a physical brawl.
”We withheld our presence for ten thousand years but once we emerge, we make such a big joke out of ourselves. This in itself is already the more ridiculous joke!”
”Nothing was seen clearly and nothing was confirmed, but the Kismet State Oracle had already been released. Great! Dongxuan's lost! Not only were they defeated, the so-called God of War was killed too. The hundreds of thousands of years of reputation that our school has accumulated is about to be destroyed in a day; from a godly presence to the world's biggest joke! Hmph!”
”What can be done about it? The astral dynamic obviously indicated the star landing in Dongxuan and a consequential rising future which is the sign of hegemony, the basic foundation of a powerful leader! The astral sign was indeed so when the decision was made, why didn't anyone object then? What didn't anyone oppose it?”
”Hmph, the heaven and earth are never constant, the astral fortune is never definite. Why didn't we speak up then? Was there even a point to speaking up? The school's in your control, who dares say no? We can only fume without being able to speak.”
”Nonsense. That was a unanimous decision that was previously made, wanting to take this opportunity to reintroduce the School of Kismet State majestically to the world. By doing so, the school could have recovered their glory hundreds of thousands of years ago and even absorbed the providence through this opportunity. This is the decision that we've made together? Why has it now become our full responsibility when there's a mistake? This is absurd!”
”When this decision was made back then, it was indeed a unanimous one. This is correct but who has agreed to deliver the Kismet State Oracle? That thing is a finality once it's out because it essentially announces a prophecy to the world. How could Dongxuan not have been reckless once they received this trump card? How can all the schools and sects that have stayed reclusive, restrained by their ancestral teaching, not think about disobeying fate and changing their destiny? Of course they wanted to reemerge in the martial world in conjunction with this opportunity but once they stepped out, they were wiped out. In conclusion, it's us, the School of Kismet State, who have tricked them!”
”You're making a bad argument here. Since the decision was made, naturally the Kismet State Oracle has to be released concurrently. What will become of it if it is not sent away? Would we keep it with us? Then how would we go about building our name and fame again? Besides, without the Kismet State Oracle, do you think Dongxuan would have gone about this so wholeheartedly?”
”Whatever it is, the conclusion is that you have made a huge joke out of us, ruining the school's reputation overnight. You all have to bear the responsibilities of it, this is the reality that you can't avoid.”
The internal School of Kismet State was a mess of arguments. It was in the end that finally a consensus that was not really a consensus was reached.
