River of Fate

“	Even for existences at our level, fate is still so miraculous.	„
— Genie to Klein Moretti on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 1241

The River of Fate appears as either a mercury-colored illusory river of light, a slowly rotating segmented wheel or a giant serpent that had its head and tail connected. Beyonders in the domain of Fate can utilize it to varying extents.

Klein Moretti once speculated that the World of Absolute Rationality that the Life School of Thought promotes might be referring to the River of Fate.

History

On the first day, The Original Creator awoke and created this world, but Reality, the Spirit World, the Astral World, and Fate were still mixed together.

On the second day, The Oldest One birthed the Mother Goddess of Depravity. Reality gained a foundation, the Spirit World and Astral World were separated, and the River of Fate began to flow. Soon after, the Mother Tree of Desire was born, giving rise to life and introducing evil and desire. Then came the Son of Chaos, who established order-and with it, shadows naturally emerged.

On the third day, The Oldest One and the Mother Goddess united, and the Mother of All Things gave birth to a firstborn daughter, the Goddess of Fate. From then on, the fates of all things began to intertwine, no longer in absolute chaos but instead forming relative patterns and foreseeable futures.

Characteristics

• The essence of fate was infinite chaos. Even the Goddess of Fate could not fully control it, nor could "She" ensure the River of Fate always flowed according to Her woven designs.
• Even to existences at Above the Sequence level, even to the Pillars, fate remains a wondrous and amusing thing:
  • The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth's three major preparations for "His" revival ended up causing "Him" to fail in his resurrection in The Fool's Dream.
  • Klein Moretti foresaw that Lumian Lee would play an important role in his dream in the future, so he gave Lumian the aura of the gray fog and his imprint. However, he didn't expect this prophecy would be fulfilled in such a warped manner, and his actions were also part of the prophecy, kickstarting Lumian's journey all the way until he participated in The Fool's Dream.
• Every action and word of great existences profoundly influences fate and the world. "Them" speaking very clearly and not speaking clearly will be part of the whole thing, and the interference with fate will be different, and the final result will also deviate because of this.
  • In the process of Klein Moretti becoming a great existence in just three years, many of the things he said were later verified one by one, becoming facts.
• Fate's guidance was undoubtedly correct but only provided a baseline.
  • For instance, fate might have hinted that The Apocalypse will not happen within a month, but it wouldn't reveal that The Apocalypse would strike immediately after that time frame.
  • Similarly, fate might suggest there was still hope and opportunity a month from now but wouldn't warn that acting earlier could yield better chances and greater hope.
