Roderick nodded.

Indeed, we can’t rule out the possibilitv vou mentioned, but if it weren’t for fate, he would never have been able to use the Ether Battle Steps that could create a three-step difference. I’m sure you won’t deny this.

” 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. “This is the power of fate.”

Chen fell silent.

After a while.

He asked honestly,

Alright, I admit that my understanding of prophecy is still at a very superficial level.

“Then, can you tell me what the so-called equilibrium node means?”

Roderick said,

“This is a state that is difficult to describe with words. It can only be said to be extremely mysterious.

“Most people only knew a little about fate.

“Many of them felt that as long as they became strong enough, they could completely control their fate.

“The fate of the people at the bottom had no effect on them.

“Of course, this was a huge mistake.

“In the eyes of fate.

“The so-called experts were just slightly stronger ants. “They were not much different from ordinary people.

“In a sense.

“Fate did not favour them any more than ordinary people.

“If you find this hard to understand.

“I can give you an example.

“The probability of a Legendary mage picking up money when he goes shopping is not higher than that of an ordinary person.”

Chen said,

But Legendary-mages can use divination.

He doesn’t need to go out to pick up money. There will naturally be ordinary people lining up to give him money.”

Roderick smiled and said,

“You’re right, but what does that have to do with fate?

” You can change a part of fate through your own hard work, but you can’t change the way fate treats you. That’s the key.”

Chen nodded and said,

“I think I understand now. But you said before that fate is a bitch.”

Roderick explained,

” 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. “Thus, when I discuss the Fate Domain, I usually ignore this example.

“She is the most unique existence.

“The 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.

“But like I said before.

“She treats everyone equally.

“If fate was a goddess.

“Then she must be an existence above the gods of the Heavenly Palace.

“She wouldn’t even care about your attitude towards her.

“She’s more like a river that runs forward, never-ending, never-ending, entertaining herself.”

Chen’s voice was filled with confusion.

“You’re confusing me.

“Aren’t I asking about the equilibrium node? What does it have to do with fate being a bitch or a goddess?”

Roderick said,

Only after you have a basic understanding of fate will you be able to understand more concepts. To be honest, the Alliance’s current prophecy class is too simple. Even someone like you can get 100 points. I’m really worried!” Chen sneered.

” I feel that the Alliance has been neglecting Mages’ 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?”

Roderick coughed twice.

“Let’s get down to business.

“My previous explanation was just to let you understand that in this world, no matter how strong or weak, everyone’s weight in the domain of fate is the same.

“Based on this point.

“Every group would have a very obvious phenomenon of rise and fall.

“In other words.

“A person’s 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.

“You should know the history of the Troll Empire, right?

“Back then, they fell apart under the conspiracy of the gods. Some of the trolls who originally dominated the continent even degenerated into ogres.

“This was actually something that was worthy of sympathy.

“However, behind this historical event, there was a shocking fact that was rarely known.

“The year the Troll Empire collapsed.

“The 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!

“Many people believed that the rise of the gods led to the collapse of the Troll Empire.

“Actually, that was not the case.

“The two were opposites in terms of causality.

“It was the collapse of the Troll Empire that accelerated the rise of the gods.

“Otherwise, the gods didn’t need to use those schemes in order to make the Troll Empire fall apart…”

Hearing this.

Chen, who was originally a little drowsy, became excited.

“What kind of conspiracy did the gods use?

‘ I remember that the gods alienated the royal family of the Troll Empire.”

Roderick calmly explained,

“That 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.
