1172 No Different

At the Center of the River of Fate was a lavish palace called the Fate Haven Palace, which embodied causality itself. A man sat comfortably on a hanging chair with a cup containing wine in his left hand while looking at a screen projection.

The Adjudicator of Fate calmly watched Wang Wei's confrontation with the mark of the Outer Gods. "No wonder [Fate] loves him so much. Such a simple and obvious idea, but only he thought of it." The Chaos Universe was vast; maybe someone else had the same idea. However, none of that matters because that bastard was the only one who had the ability or skill to succeed while also having a deep connection with fate.

He looked at Wang Wei with gritted teeth. "The bastard doesn't even want the role. Meanwhile, I had to gravel for an eternity before I could compete for it, but you still chose him?" Fate stood up from his seat, and with a wave of his hand, he reached the lower end of the river of time - which is the past - and destroyed Wang Wei, the Eternal Ascension, and that entire timeline.

However, a few seconds afterward, that destroyed timeline returned to its previous state as if nothing had occurred. The Adjudicator exhaled deeply before pouring more of his drink, trying his best to relax.

"Hmm? Time? Why are you here?"

"I thought a new variable had appeared, but it was just you messing around," replied the Time Cardinal, his whiskers dancing with the wind while looking as elegant as always.

"I was just venting."

"Stop doing useless things."

"I know," replied the Fate Cardinal, who suddenly sensed someone else coming. "Heaven? Why are you here?"

"Imagine my surprise when a timeline, which I was heading to, was suddenly erased."

"Why were you heading there? Did something happen?" Fate and Time were immediately on guard. Any sudden change in the situation could mean bad news for any of them.

"Yes, but it's not what you think," Heaven reassured. "Grand Dao ordered me to teach the [Son]." The two were silent for a few seconds before the Fate Cardinal started laughing uncontrollably. "If there is one positive of this ordeal, it is seeing how disappointing that privileged bastard is."

"Watch your tongue," The Heaven Cardinal warned.

"Why should I? I will either die in that other bastard's hands or lose my position - I have nothing left to lose."

"You should still have some decorum," Heaven warned. "No matter what, the [Son] is destined to become the Council's Leader and our boss."

"If he survives," Fate sneered. From a linear understanding of time, the Son of Grand Dao is a recent chess move of Grand Dao to change the past and affect the upper branch of the River of Time, which is where the real battle is occurring. As such, his fate is still undetermined and full of endless possibilities. However, the fact that Grand Dao tasked Heaven to become the latter's teacher proves that things are not going well, and the son needs a little extra help.

"You're being unfair," the Time Cardinal added. "By all accounts, the [Son] is extremely talented, even better than the best of us when we were mortals. Sadly..."

"He's an embarrassment compared to him," Fate finished, not taking his comrade's warning to heart. "In fact, we all know that Heavenly Book is the best candidate for that position. He's the only person capable of defeating that monster. Sadly, that bastard is too smart for his own good and too ambitious. He wants to skip many steps and swallow many players with one chess move." Fate shook his head.

"Heavenly Book is indeed playing a risky game, but him winning might be our only chance to reverse the situation," Heaven commented.

"On top of what happened with the Heavenly Dao Race, didn't you try to make your pawn and fail?"

"What's your point?"

"I thought you hated him with a passion, but your tone..." Fate looked at him oddly, feeling his relationship with Heavenly Book Paragon suddenly became suspicious.

"You're overthinking things," Heaven said calmly. "I've figured some things out. Do you agree that if Heavenly Book wins, the only thing that will change is him being the enemy now instead of that bastard?"

"Indeed." Even Time agreed with this analysis. Recent events have led them to this sad conclusion.

"Well, I'm of the opinion that Heavenly Book is easier to deal with."

"Bold words," Fate said. "In terms of intelligence, foundation, and strength, they are pretty on par. That bastard has the advantage of knowledge from the Prehistoric World, but if he loses, that information will become Heavenly Book's resources."

"Heavenly Book has two disadvantages that will make it easier to deal with," Heaven boldly proclaimed. "Firstly, Book has servants and subordinates, while he has allies, family, and like-minded individuals."

"The man is indeed charismatic," Time commented, and Fate shot him a glare, which he ignored.

"Secondly, it's their flaws."

"Flaw?"

"Yes. His greatest flaw is his greed while Heavenly Book's greatest flaw is bold and reckless-like moves." Fate squinted his eyes. As long as these people have emotions, they cannot be perfect, meaning they have flaws, including personality. However, the flaws of these two Dao Overlords are not simple things that anyone can take advantage of. In fact, it's more of a guideline on how they operate regarding certain things or events.
