Chapter 1571: Fate’s Origin
He looked at his dimensional flesh and knew he could no longer hold on. He was like a ticking time bomb, and the ninth-dimensional power of Fate was crushing him to pieces.
“The only road to salvation lay in pushing deeper into the chaos. I will survive if I reach the seventh-dimensional level, and there is no use in delaying the inevitable.”
In the end, the decision that he made was quite simple. He was dying because of swallowing a power that was not meant for him, but if he stopped this process halfway, he would inevitably be crushed to pieces. He would just continue swallowing this power while adjusting along the way, and if he could totally grab Fate, then this ninth-dimensional power would be his foundation for survival.
With his dimensional flesh enduring the Tribulation of Fate, his soul was free to peer beyond the Tribulation’s barrier to the power he sought to acquire. His unique constitution allowed Rowan to be able to cheat this Tribulation, as he was pushing for the results while still enduring the process.
If he survived his Tribulation ahead, this would have been his prize, but Rowan was not willing to allow Fate to dictate his path forward, and his soul seized the power within it.
His eyes were opened to the truth.
The power of the Fate dimension above was too much for him to fully decipher. Its forms were countless, and it was not easy for him to go through all of them because each representation was a power at the ninth-dimensional level. In his present state, where he was on the verge of death, he could not afford to be too picky about the dimensional pathway he chased.
Rowan’s Will began to ascend, and the first to rise upon this revelation was the Will of Truth. This enhancement was what he needed to barely push past the final barriers holding back his sight.
His dimensional soul looked upon Fate and its many forms. However, he could not see much. He was able to cheat, but his capabilities were too limited to take full advantage of it. Rowan was satisfied with what he was able to do with the tools he had to work with.
He saw a Heavenly Die with nine sides, each part representing the endless mysteries that tied the lives of all things from their conception to their end. Rowan almost reached for it, but he suppressed this instinct and continued pushing on; this was one part of Fate and might not necessarily be the best one for him, so he moved on to the next.
In the next form of Fate, he saw a red thread whose length defied infinity, stretching across countless timelines and dimensions, reaching the past perpetuity to a place that Rowan’s perception could not touch.
This was the familiar form of Fate available in Reality where it took the form of a thread, and if Rowan accepted this Fate, then he would have an advantage in understanding it because it was close to what he knew, but there was still a bit of time to check for one last form of Fate before he made his decision.
When he saw this form, Rowan was glad that he had waited. He saw a massive glowing book, almost reminding him of the Primordial Record. In the minor glimpse he could see of its pages, he could see the records of countless lives, each page holding the entirety of a mortal’s or immortal’s life.
Immediately drawn to this representation of Fate, he decided that this would be the one for him.
