Fan Wubing furrowed his brow slightly.
He had never met the Seven Luminaries True Monarch, but he had borrowed the name many times, sometimes turning danger into safety, other times just to experience that supreme will. He hadn't seen much of the world before, didn't know how things worked, so he borrowed it carelessly. But now, he understood phrases like "there is a predestined order in the unseen" and "causality is intertwined, everything is connected."
Hence, he realized that he might already have a connection with the Seven Luminaries True Monarch in some unseen realm.
This seed of cause, when it would blossom and bear fruit, was unpredictable, but it needed to be thought about and prepared in advance. Lest one day, when retribution for cause and effect suddenly arrives, he is caught completely unprepared.
Take one step, look two steps ahead, consider three steps.
Fan Wubing continued to reflect on the years gone by.
