When the Twelve-Layered Tower first gave off faint tremors, in truth, no one was able to immediately grasp what exactly was happening.
Even outside on the plaza before the Twelve-Layered Tower, many people were still arguing over whose enlightenment was greater and whose immortal fate was stronger between Xie Mingyi and Chen Xu.
Chen Xu had written the unprecedented "Treatise on Subduing the Locust Demon," and he had carried out the awe-inspiring feat of diverting southern waters to the north.
His strength and accomplishments were beyond question.
Yet there was also a group with unique opinions, insisting:
"Immortal fate, immortal fate—it's called 'fate' for a reason, so naturally it comes down to chance and destiny.
This is not a competition of strength; it is not to say that whoever has more merit, greater fame, or stronger power, must automatically have greater immortal fate.
