All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 77 - 77 77 Coming to Meet the Disaster Returning Calamity to the World

77: Chapter 77 Coming to Meet the Disaster, Returning Calamity to the World 77: Chapter 77 Coming to Meet the Disaster, Returning Calamity to the World “If at first I was merely suspicious, now I can be certain,”

At this moment, Sword Spirit’s tone was firm: “You carry the ‘Seven Fiend’ within you, cherished by the sun, moon, five stars, yin yang and the five elements, and the Seven Primary Great Fiend.

All of the world’s evils shall not harm your body.”

The so-called cold moon and warm sun torture a human’s lifespan.

Water and fire are ruthless, earth and wood harm people, and the sharpness of weapons is precisely the edge of the Taibai Fiend’s evil Qi.

The Seven Fiends are, the eroders of lifespan, the source of calamities, and represent the seven ominous celestial signs that come after the Great Stars of the Seven Luminaries reverse and become disordered.

Mars Guarding Heart, Taibai Erosion and Soaring, are two of them.

If one can gather all the Seven Fiends of the Fate Pattern, it means that this person is born to incite wars and disasters, creating all kinds of suffering and misfortune.

——Heavenly Destiny Seven Fiends?

An Jing was stunned, murmuring subconsciously, “I am, Heavenly Mandate?”

“Yes.”

Subdue Evil Sword Spirit said earnestly: “The Seven Fiends, born from disaster, begotten by adversity, summoned by calamity, bring misfortune to the world.”

“In other words, this is not a ‘Strange Mandate’, nor a ‘Divine Mandate’.”

“This is ‘Heavenly Mandate!'”

Seven Lives mean harm to oneself, an abnormal alternation of body and soul, a dreadful fate.

Mixed are the myriad phenomena of human life, originally meant for the self to stand out, a moderate destiny.

The Strange transcends common reason, regarded as supreme among those who uphold the path, a destiny of utmost goodness.

A destiny of utmost goodness, although rare and precious, will still see numerous similar Fate Patterns vying with each other in the same era.

Even for ‘Divine Mandate’, if the same Immortal God is reincarnated, there will be differentiations such as ‘Nine Heavens Thunder Voice Pervading Transformation’ and ‘Southern Immortal Emperor of Longevity’.

But the Heavenly Mandate alone, born of destiny, emerges from calamity, in one era there will be only one such Heavenly Mandate, even if the foundations are the same, each generation will be unique.

At this moment, Sword Spirit was quite certain that An Jing was a Heavenly Mandate: “An Jing, weren’t you wondering why your lifebound Fate grew substantially because you saved Huo Qing?”

“The answer is because you are the ‘Heavenly Mandate Seven Fiends’!”

“Because you changed someone else’s fate— you changed Huo Qing’s ‘inevitable death’!”

“This is also a form of overturning!”

“Changing fate?

Is changing fate also considered overturning?”

An Jing was quite surprised, then curiously asked, “How did you arrive at that conclusion?”

“Without a doubt, Huo Qing was meant to die,”

Sword Spirit declared in an assertive tone that was rather impolite towards Huo Qing, but An Jing agreed quite strongly: “Indeed, he was originally supposed to die during a gang conflict, and later, when he encountered Big Spear and the others, he was also going to die…

He was fated to take the blame.”

At this point, An Jing had a moment of realization: “Oh, I see, this is what is called ‘death calamity’?”

“I reversed the death calamity, and this counts as changing fate?”

“Not necessarily, but it’s probably close,” Sword Spirit was very satisfied with An Jing’s quick thinking: “Huo Qing, upon my thorough observation just now, is sensitive and grateful, wise yet self-harming, intelligent yet not walking the right path, with a lightly regarded Fate Pattern prone to risky acts, a good person but hardly performing good deeds.”

“Simply put, he is like driftwood that flows with the current, like willow fluff blown with the wind; he cannot accomplish what he wishes to, nor can he become the person he wants to be.”

“His original destiny was heading towards a dead end, with his ability, he absolutely couldn’t have escaped from Big Spear’s hands— even if Heaven took pity and allowed him to return alive from the wilderness, he wouldn’t have had the strength nor the resolve to defeat Big Spear and survive the pursuit of the Day Tiger Gang.”

“But, you changed his fate!”

“An Jing.

You saved Huo Qing’s life, and in his gratitude, he gave you a scarce Cultivation Method, and that is the causal link.

You helped him break through two major death calamities, completely turning his destined path towards death into a new road.”

At this moment, Sword Spirit also seemed to have an epiphany.

Never having truly seen a Heavenly Mandate before, now having seen one, the understanding of many descriptions of Heavenly Mandate suddenly became clear: “I remember, a Supreme True One once said, ‘The world is like the tides, and fate is like the flow,’ numerous tributaries conflicting and changing each other, complementing and merging with each other, are what create this complex human world.”

“But the Heavenly Mandate, especially the [Seven Luminaries Seven Fiends], is the surging murky tide!

Beneath the torrent, the mountains and seas of the Heaven Star, everything in the world loses its color!”

“Those lives tarnished by you will deviate from their original paths…

Regardless of life and death, good or evil, they will all become forces of Heavenly Mandate!”

As Sword Spirit spoke up to this point, An Jing also came to an understanding, murmuring to himself, “So this is my Heavenly Mandate…

The completely new future that Huo Qing developed from nothing is a part of my Heavenly Mandate?”

“Perhaps.”

Sword Spirit spoke slowly, cautiously, “I don’t know if it’s so, but it’s well-known that the Strange Mandate of the Seven Fiends is characterized by ‘rebellion.’ The bearers of the Heavenly Destiny Seven Fiends in each generation were always rebels against the states of their times.

Each was a terrifying demon lord who could stir up great calamities, leaving thousands of miles silent without the crowing of a single rooster.”

“They may not necessarily pave a completely new path, but they will definitely overturn everything of their times, causing all destinies to derail from their ‘fixed and absolute trajectory,’ thus moving to a realm unknown to anyone.”

“I believe now that the future of Huo Qing is unpredictable to anyone.

This ‘overturning and derailment’ and ‘unpredictability’ may just be the essence of the Seven Fiends.”

“It doesn’t feel that simple.”

An Jing sank into contemplation, yet he quickly relaxed and chuckled, “But this is easily verified.”

“Changing the destiny of a group of people might be somewhat difficult for me now, but changing the fate of a few individuals shouldn’t be an issue.”

“We’ll see what feedback we get later.”

“An Jing, you can’t be careless.”

Compared to An Jing’s light-heartedness, Sword Spirit’s voice was incredibly serious, “Whether you are a bearer of Heavenly Mandate is just a guess for now, but even if it’s just a speculation, the Heaven’s Will Cult will not sit idly by.”

“You must know, the Demon Sect names it Heavenly Mandate and considers the bearers as ‘Saint Heirs.'”

“The reason why the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect persists in collecting the Children of Calamity, carefully nourishing them and awakening their Fate Patterns, is probably to find the possible ‘Saint Heir of the Seven Fiends’!”

“Now that I think about it, it’s fortunate the Demon Sect hasn’t discovered you are actually the bearer of the Heavenly Destiny Seven Fiends, or else their mountain’s powerhouses would likely mobilize in full force just to take you back as a Saint Heir!”

——Why does it sound like ‘being captured means returning to the mountain to inherit an enormous fortune’?

An Jing held back his desire to retort, but he also knew that the Saint Heirs of the Heaven’s Will Cult might not truly be successors, but rather some kind of human pillar or ‘Sacrificial Position.’

He wouldn’t trust the Demon Sect in this regard.

“Sigh, Heavenly Mandate…

It sounds incredible, even stronger than the reincarnation of an Immortal God.”

After repeating the term in his mind again, An Jing frowned and looked at his hand, “But, I don’t really feel it.”

“My Divine Skill is nothing more than Condensing Qi into Weapons.

Although there is great potential for development, it feels like it’s on the level of common Strange Mandates.”

“In the end,” he grumbled, “with my luck, disaster strikes wherever I go.

Is this supposed to be under the protection of Heavenly Mandate?”

“It’s different.”

Sword Spirit answered earnestly, “Though I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Fate Patterns, it is said that Heavenly Mandate is not like Divine Mandate.

Initially, it’s indeed not strong; one must continually fulfill one’s Heavenly Mandate, conform to the grand trend of Heaven’s Will, to gradually grow and become mighty.”

“Initially, it may indeed only be on the level of a common Strange Mandate, or even worse.

But in the end, when the Fate is fully accounted for, the causes and effects are all in place, and the convergence of Heavenly Timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony arrives, the predestined moment will come, and the Heavenly Mandate will grow to an inconceivable extent.”

“Just like you, the Seven Luminaries Star Detriment, only two have awakened.”

“As for luck…”

The Subdue Evil Sword Spirit then gestured for An Jing to observe the surroundings, “Upon our arrival in the Tianyuan Realm, leaving behind that cave filled with many secrets, we just so happened to encounter an Immortal Path warship.”

“Immediately following that, we ran into the upheaval among Xuanye City’s high echelons caused by the descent of the Immortal Path warship.”

“All of this could be coincidental, but I don’t think so!”

“The area and timing of our arrival in the Tianyuan Realm might not be random, but rather a manifestation of your Heavenly Mandate!”

At this point, Sword Spirit’s tone carried a hint of emotion, “This is what we call ‘coming in response to calamity.’ It’s also unknown what ‘spreading calamity to the world’ represents…”

“Perhaps when the number of those whose fates you’ve changed accumulates, it will alter the destiny’s course of the entire world?”

“Once the inherent order collapses, perhaps it will lead to an unprecedented disaster.”
