Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 174

After receiving the golden merit, Wang Wei did not absorb it directly in order to change his Qi Luck, but instead used it to increase his comprehension.

After absorbing some of the merit, Wang Wei found that his mind started to work a hundred times more rapidly. Adding on to his previous comprehension, Wang Wei could feel that his mind was working faster than a quantum computer.

Many things that he did not previously understand instantly became clear, however, he quickly reigned in his mind to focus on understanding his Qi Luck.

"So, that’s how it is?" muttered Wang Wei after a few seconds. He finally understood why his transformation was not complete after so long.

Wang Wei had confused the Qi Luck of a person and the one of a nation. As a matter of fact, there are different kinds of Qi Lick.

There is the Human Qi Luck or Innate Qi Luck. This one the luck that everyone is born with; this luck to an extent determines your talent, the amount and kind of opportunities you will get during your life, and the chances you are to escape certain dangerous situations based on luck alone.

This kind of luck rarely changes and can only go all the way through purple-gold.

After realizing this, Wang Wei then suddenly realized how precious the Spirit Road Trial actually was as it allowed people to change their Innate Luck.

The second kind of luck is actually called Heavenly Luck, and it is granted by Heaven itself. The Qi Luck color of these people does not really matter as they are blessed by Heaven themselves. The highest level of Heavenly Luck is in fact the Son of Destiny.

The third kind of luck is referred to as Earthly Luck, and this is the category that a dynasty’s Qi Luck falls under. This luck is created by gathering a small portion of destiny or luck from myriad things: people, lands, emotions, desires...etc. This kind of luck is somewhat similar to Incense, however, it is not as poisonous due to being more restrictive through karma.

As for Wang Wei’s black Qi Luck, this was the result of him being rejected by Heaven and Earth. And this kind of thing is not as bad as it sounds because it means that it is very difficult for Heavenly Dao to plot against by using fortunate encounters as bait.

More importantly, for Wang Wei who desired to become free and unfettered, it means that he has the chance to control his own luck, and he succeeded.

The process of him turning his black Qi Luck back into purple is a transformation that occurs due to him slowly grasping his fate when it comes to controlling luck.

And now that he finally understood all the knowledge needed about Qi Luck, his transformation was complete, and Wang Wei also developed a new ability.

This ability is called [Destiny’s Son], and as the name implies, Wang Wei could forcibly become the Son of Destiny of any world he is in. Then, his luck would be as legendary and scary as Long Aotian.

Everything would become easy for him to achieve. If he wanted some rare herb or material, just follow his instinct and he would eventually discover it. His chances of escaping true mortal dangers would increase dramatically.

In general, this ability is heaven defying, however, Wang Wei was not happy and he will not use it blindly.

As a person who truly understands Qi Luck, he knew that Heavenly Luck was actually a big pit. Do you think that Heavenly Dao would bless someone with luck for no reason?

Of course not. Heaven and Earth revolves around the concept of balance, of cause and effect. If something extraordinary happens to someone , then there must be a reason.

For example, the title of Son of Destiny sounds very appealing, however, Wang Wei knows that each Son of Destiny of any world is born or chosen for a reason.

And it is usually because the world sensed that a catastrophe is about to happen, so it chose someone as a Son of Destiny to cultivate in order to fight or prevent the disaster. So, those lucky bastards usually have a rough life despite being lucky as they have to go through countless trials and tribulations.

A perfect example of that was Long Aotian. The Heavenly Dao of the Warring Kingdom World chose him as the Son of Destiny in a desperate attempt to prevent all the participants of the trial from truly taking over the world.
