Roderick nodded.
Indeed, we canât rule out the possibilitv vou mentioned, but if it werenât for fate, he would never have been able to use the Ether Battle Steps that could create a three-step difference. Iâm sure you wonât deny this.
â And the one who pushed him forward was the hand of fate. It could have come from Matthew, or it could have come from Edmond. Because, at that moment, they were on the same side. Every effort they made could affect the direction of the equilibrium node. âThis is the power of fate.â
Chen fell silent.
After a while.
He asked honestly,
Alright, I admit that my understanding of prophecy is still at a very superficial level.
âThen, can you tell me what the so-called equilibrium node means?â
Roderick said,
âThis is a state that is difficult to describe with words. It can only be said to be extremely mysterious.
âMost people only knew a little about fate.
âMany of them felt that as long as they became strong enough, they could completely control their fate.
âThe fate of the people at the bottom had no effect on them.
âOf course, this was a huge mistake.
âIn the eyes of fate.
âThe so-called experts were just slightly stronger ants. âThey were not much different from ordinary people.
âIn a sense.
âFate did not favour them any more than ordinary people.
âIf you find this hard to understand.
âI can give you an example.
âThe probability of a Legendary mage picking up money when he goes shopping is not higher than that of an ordinary person.â
Chen said,
But Legendary-mages can use divination.
He doesnât need to go out to pick up money. There will naturally be ordinary people lining up to give him money.â
Roderick smiled and said,
âYouâre right, but what does that have to do with fate?
â You can change a part of fate through your own hard work, but you canât change the way fate treats you. Thatâs the key.â
Chen nodded and said,
âI think I understand now. But you said before that fate is a bitch.â
Roderick explained,
â The most fundamental source of this saying actually comes from the calamity mage.
It has two meanings. The first meaning is that to the calamity Mage, Fate is indeed a bitch that can be kneaded at will. Her power is too powerful, and it has already exceeded the scope of our understanding, including the Fate Domain. âThus, when I discuss the Fate Domain, I usually ignore this example.
âShe is the most unique existence.
âThe second meaning was that for people other than the Calamity Mages, the abominable part of fate is often the way she treated you, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.
âBut like I said before.
âShe treats everyone equally.
âIf fate was a goddess.
âThen she must be an existence above the gods of the Heavenly Palace.
âShe wouldnât even care about your attitude towards her.
âSheâs more like a river that runs forward, never-ending, never-ending, entertaining herself.â
Chenâs voice was filled with confusion.
âYouâre confusing me.
âArenât I asking about the equilibrium node? What does it have to do with fate being a bitch or a goddess?â
Roderick said,
Only after you have a basic understanding of fate will you be able to understand more concepts. To be honest, the Allianceâs current prophecy class is too simple. Even someone like you can get 100 points. Iâm really worried!â Chen sneered.
â I feel that the Alliance has been neglecting Magesâ physical fitness in recent years. I strongly recommend that you join classes such as close combat and melee magic and take an assessment. Do you want to try and see how many points you can get?â
Roderick coughed twice.
âLetâs get down to business.
âMy previous explanation was just to let you understand that in this world, no matter how strong or weak, everyoneâs weight in the domain of fate is the same.
âBased on this point.
âEvery group would have a very obvious phenomenon of rise and fall.
âIn other words.
âA personâs fate not only depended on their own efforts but also on the progress of history, the major events of the era, and the fate of the race that was closely related to them.
âYou should know the history of the Troll Empire, right?
âBack then, they fell apart under the conspiracy of the gods. Some of the trolls who originally dominated the continent even degenerated into ogres.
âThis was actually something that was worthy of sympathy.
âHowever, behind this historical event, there was a shocking fact that was rarely known.
âThe year the Troll Empire collapsed.
âThe combat power of the upper echelons of the Empire was actually more than ten times stronger than the combat power of the gods in the prime material plane!
âMany people believed that the rise of the gods led to the collapse of the Troll Empire.
âActually, that was not the case.
âThe two were opposites in terms of causality.
âIt was the collapse of the Troll Empire that accelerated the rise of the gods.
âOtherwise, the gods didnât need to use those schemes in order to make the Troll Empire fall apartâŠâ
Hearing this.
Chen, who was originally a little drowsy, became excited.
âWhat kind of conspiracy did the gods use?
â I remember that the gods alienated the royal family of the Troll Empire.â
Roderick calmly explained,
âThat is just one of the thousands of conspiracies.
In fact, the most crucial method of the gods was to continuously corrupt the
Troll Empire from the inside through various methods. This process lasted for 200 years.
