Chapter 228.1
The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking using the excess.
The way of humanity is to use what is lacking to provide more to the excess.
Therefore, since ancient times, the most important principle that has been passed down among cultivators is “a tree that grows beautifully in the forest, the wind will destroy.” And this is also the root cause of the “Great Dao is fifty, Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and the escaped one is the glimmer of hope.”
But the current Heavenly Dao does not make up for what is lacking using the excess. The emergence of the concept of the son of fortune is a true portrayal of the way of humanity replacing the way of heaven.
Most people may not know what impact this will have on the world.
To take the son of fortune as an example:
The so-called son of fortune is the darling of Heavenly Dao.
All their opportunities were bestowed by Heavenly Dao.
This also led to the fact that, although they had occasional setbacks along the way, overall, it was smooth sailing.
They soared to the sky all the way until a great achievement was achieved.And in the process of their growth, countless people will become the stepping stones of the Sons of fortune, and become the nutrients for the growth of the sons of fortune.
But in this way, most of the opportunities in the world will be obtained by the sons of fortune, while other cultivators may not even be able to share the leftovers.
The distribution of benefits is extremely unfair, and others are not even given the slightest chance to compete.
So the sons of fortune became stronger and stronger, and the other cultivators became weaker and weaker, until the sons of fortune gradually became powerful existences that ordinary cultivators could never shake.
Originally, the Great Dao was fifty, and the Heavenly Dao was forty-nine, and people’s glimmer of hope was the escaped one. Even though the journey of cultivation is defying the heavens, it still leaves a glimmer of hope for the cultivators. However, this last glimmer of hope was also taken away by the sons of fortune.
In other words, the Heavenly Dao, which has been gradually becoming human, is tantamount to taking away the last chance of cultivators.
As for the sons of fortune, because they are all supported by Heavenly Dao, they are naturally also controlled by Heavenly Dao. Their actions, their opportunities, and their achievements are essentially controlled by Heavenly Dao.
If it was looked at from the perspective of this world, the so-called sons of fortune are actually the agents of Heavenly Dao.
The world is a chessboard, and the common people are the children of the world. As the sons of fortune are supported one after another, all beings will always be under the control of Heavenly Dao, and there will never be a chance to jump out of the chessboard.
Such a world is lifeless.
After listening to Palace Master Wangshu’s explanation, Tang Fei fell into silence. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, “Dare to ask senior, are the so-called sons of fortune pawns of Heavenly Dao?”
Palace Master Wangshu nodded and said, “Yes. All the experiences of the son of fortune were arranged by Heavenly Dao in advance.”
“Then what about me? My cultivation base has been abolished, and my foundation has been destroyed. Is it also controlled by Heavenly Dao?”
Palace Master Wangshu said, “Not only that. The restoration of your cultivation base and foundation will also be arranged by Heavenly Dao.”
Tang Fei nodded, “In other words, everything about me is arranged by Heavenly Dao? Doesn’t that mean that even if I do nothing, I can eventually become a giant?”
But Wangshu shook her head and said: “You can’t do nothing, because Heavenly Dao will force you to do it. If you don’t want to practice, then Heavenly Dao will use the hands of others to kill the person you care about the most and force you to make a move.
You would need to practice; if you give up the opportunity, then Heavenly Dao will break your legs, break your spine, and force you to fight for the opportunity using the lives and dignity of yourself and your relatives and friends. All in all, you have no right to refuse.”
“That is to say, Heavenly Dao does not allow the sons of fortune it chooses to be ordinary?”
“Yes.”
“So if I keep following the path arranged by Heavenly Dao, will there be any bad consequences for me?”
Palace Master Wangshu said lightly, “For you, it may not be a bad consequence. You will always be the type of person who will climb to the top of this world, you will have many confidantes, and you will be powerful, enough to shake the world. You will be invincible, and you will shine for all generations. The only issue is that at that time, you will completely lose yourself and become a puppet under the control of Heavenly Dao. Your consciousness will be replaced, but no one will be aware of this point, including yourself.”
Tang Fei fell into silence again.
This time, he was silent for a long time.
Cultivation is for longevity, for freedom, and for breaking out of the shackles of fate.
However, when he learned that what he had been working hard for had been driven by fate, the belief he had always upheld instantly became a joke.
He also wondered if Palace Master Wangshu lied to him. However, as one of the three major palace masters of the ancient sect Qiankun Palace, why would Palace Master Wangshu lie to him, a little Divine Transformation realm cultivator?
After a long time, Tang Fei sighed faintly and said, “Senior, may I ask if the junior can get rid of Heavenly Dao’s control?”
“Yes,” Palace Master Wang Shu nodded, “There is a person who is not under the control of Heavenly Dao today. Only by his side can you get rid of Heavenly Dao’s control. Help him, support him, and fight side by side with him, until the complete overthrow of current Heavenly Dao.”
“Who is this guy?”
“His name is Feng Shao.”
