Chapter 329 - Fate 101 (II)

"The first technique that we shall start with is the basis of all Celestials. It is the technique that allows us to condense lines of fate into our origins, and we can then use these Fate Lines to provide us abundant strength."
The Grandmaster continued to speak as numerous bouts of information was received by the White Robed Disciples from the floating Inheritance Stones. Noah already had this information simplified in front of him as he observed the details of the unique skill!
&123;Fate's Disciple&125; :: A technique geared towards cultivating the Supreme Law of Fate. Grants the user the ability to inscribe the unique energy of fate into their origin in the form of Fate Lines.
The description was fairly simple, but Noah did not even think of activating it as he looked forward to the Celestial Grandmaster.
"Many of you were chosen because of your own unique genius, and you will have a chance to prove yourselves in the next few days as you get to learn whether you are a true genius, or simply a star that shone slightly brighter than others."
"I will remind you now that we reward those who exceed, while those who do not show talent almost always get left behind!"
The gaze of the Celestial Grandmaster was impassive as he said this, waving his hands as multiple outlines of humanoid bodies appeared in front of them.
"What do I mean when I say talent? Talent for the law of fate varies across beings, but the first prerequisite for a high talent in being able to comprehend this law is the utter and absolute mindset of high aspirations for yourself and the things you are connected to. You will come to find that most geniuses of fate are the ones that have numerous connections, their livelihood influencing the fates of many beings that they are connected to."
The three outlines of humanoid bodies in front of them glowed different shades of color. One was dark, another had a slight golden light, and the third was shining bright gold!
"Take this first being for an example."
The Grandmaster pointed to the dark humanoid outline as he continued.
"There is no talent in fate, while the next one has slight talent, and the third one has tremendous talent. But…!"
RUMBLE!
Essence erupted as the outlines rapidly changed, showing a gradual passage of time as the outline that was dark became brighter and brighter, the second outline that held a slight gold light remained the same, while the third outline that shone brightly before became dimmer and dimmer.
"...you will realize as time passes that those who are talented can become nothing, others simply remain the same, while those with no talent can rise to unimaginable heights. All of this will depend on a being's aspiration, and what they do to actually act on their aspirations and influence the fates of numerous beings around them."
"We, the Celestials, have grand aspirations! Aspirations that cover numerous planets, and we have actively acted on our aspirations over the years, granting us unbelievable power under the Law of Fate as we influence things at a scale never before imagined."
The Grandmaster waved his hands as the images of the humanoid outlines disappeared, his gaze landing on the many White Robed Disciples enraptured with his presentation.
"Over the next few days, you will find out whether you already hold tremendous talent with numerous lines of fate converging towards you the moment you begin cultivating &123;Fate's Disciple&125;, or if you will be a late bloomer who will struggle before exploding...or if you will simply be left behind."
POP!
They heard the sound of a bubble popping as the illusory world that the Grandmaster had summoned them to disappeared, finding themselves back on the paradisiacal clearing with numerous vegetations all around, the large building in the distance standing strong.
"If you find yourselves stumbling, ask the Black Robed and Red Robed Celestials for help. I will be observing your progress closely."
The Celestial Grandmaster finished his words as he began disappearing into particles of light, the two Red Robed Celestials that let out an oppressive aura at the peak of Soul Forging Realm nodding their heads to the disciples and standing up as a cacophony of discussion erupted from all around.
Noah was rereading the description of the unique skill, &123;Fate's Disciple&125;, as the many White Robed Disciples around him had split off into groups or had begun talking with the higher-ranked Black Robed Disciples.
One of the Red Robed Celestials observe Noah standing blankly by himself as he waved his hands, a golden plaque appearing in front of his eyes that described everything there was to know about the being called Crixus, his eyebrows lifting as he read about the ability this genius had to use Aether!
He nodded in satisfaction as he approached Noah and asked.
"Young disciple, what can I clarify for you?"
Noah glanced at this being that was smiling in a helpful manner as he replied.
"These Fate Lines you mentioned, how exactly does one use them after they are condensed into their bodies?"
Noah asked a random question as he wondered how he should play his cards for this very important beginning of this new journey, a brilliant reply coming as the body of the red-robed Celestial began to shine with numerous lines.
"I've made my own Fate Lines visible as an example. Using &123;Fate's Disciple&125; uses up your own essence in exchange for assimilating a line or a few lines of fate depending on your talent and reserves of energy. You sometimes find people who have a grand fate laid out for them to be able to assimilate numerous Fate Lines very quickly, only to be hindered by the small amount of energy they have as they advance slowly thereafter."
"You also find those with high realms and abundant energy not being able to condense any Fate Lines as they have no talent for it. All you have to do is move your essence according to &123;Fate's Disciple&125; and observe what talent you truly have. You do not need to actively use your Fate Lines for now, as they augment your strength passively!"
The Red Robed Disciple spoke with a fervent expression as his body gave off an oppressive feeling, the numerous golden lines on his body bringing a horrible feeling of oppression to anyone that was near.
"You will realize the uses of Fate Lines more as you receive more techniques in the future, but I can tell you a huge secret now about Fate Lines."
Noah listened closely as the light gradually died down on the being in front of him.
"If you are proficient in condensing fate lines and acc.u.mulate a tremendous amount of them, you will find yourself easily matching those in higher realms simply because of the force that Fate Lines provide your strength. A Saint Realm being defeating a Void or Soul Forging Realm expert is within the realm of possibility!"
Grand words came out of this Red Robed Celestial's mouth as it sparked the spirits of the numerous listening White Robed Disciples as they began to cultivate &123;Fate Disciple&125;. Noah nodded to the being in front of him as he took a meditative position himself, being very careful but very much looking forward to seeing how this would all turn out!
