The man in white frowned.

"The Empire of Yutang. Since when does this empire possess the world hegemony emanation as he could see it right now? Even when it was built hundreds of years ago, its providence wasn't as strong nor has it ever received God's recognition. Its providence will only grow weaker generation after generation, falling from the changes of dynasties at most across seven generations. The Emperor of Yutang now is the sixth generation emperor. Even if there's still some providence left, it should show signs of weakening. How can it be showing such vitality instead?"

"Among so many countries, the Empire of Dongxuan is the one with the most vibrant and lively providence. The founder of the Empire of Dongxuan had founded the empire with his grace; its national destiny and fate are very well known. The empire expanded gradually in the two hundred years since its establishment. The Purple Star is already shining on Dongxuan, it's only waiting for its time to shine brighter. That will be when Dongxuan conquers the world, a fate that cannot be reversed."

"When based on manpower, resources, wealth and national strength, the Empire of Dongxuan triumphs over the rest. Talents in the realm of literature and martial arts are abundant and they truly are the cream of the crop – these bountiful talents equip the empire with the capability to lead the world thus the school has delivered the Kismet State Oracle to recognize Dongxuan as ruler of the world – it is a prophecy that matches the heavenly timing. But now, why is the spiritual dynamic in such an unprecedented state of chaos? Had Dongxuan's war of a confirmed victory been lost?"

"It would still be alright if Dongxuan has only lost temporarily but what's the reason behind the chaotic astral dynamic now?"

"Several years ago, the Residence of Nine Supremes descended onto the world out of the blue. It elevated Yutang's national fortune and seemed to allow Yutang a sliver of hope in the world hegemony but no extreme will hold for very long. The school had already foreseen the forceful presence of the Residence of Nine Supremes – their presence is nothing more than the last radiant burst of Yutang, they will only make the Empire of Yutang a shared target among the other countries. The barely remaining national providence will weaken over time due to this and will even indirectly help Dongxuan in expending the other countries' providence."

"What happened next was evident of this school's oracle. The Nine Supremes have all perished in the battle at Tianxun Cliff. The national providence formed from the heaven and earth fortune brought along by the Residence of Nine Supremes had already diminished by this year. It proves that God's will is not something reversible by man –destiny is not to be disobeyed. To fight against heaven with mere human power, it will only result in burning and leading men to their death. Now though, the situation is different, vastly so."

He stood among the clouds, his frown locked upon his face, unable to figure out the current situation.

"The whole school has become disorderly due to this matter. Everyone is at a loss."

He heaved a long sigh.

The reality was just like how he had mentioned. The School of Kismet State was in chaos due to the current change and had become separated into two parties. Both sides were verbally attacking each other ceaselessly to the point that it was about to escalate into a physical brawl.

"We withheld our presence for ten thousand years but once we emerge, we make such a big joke out of ourselves. This in itself is already the more ridiculous joke!"

"Nothing was seen clearly and nothing was confirmed, but the Kismet State Oracle had already been released. Great! Dongxuan's lost! Not only were they defeated, the so-called God of War was killed too. The hundreds of thousands of years of reputation that our school has accumulated is about to be destroyed in a day; from a godly presence to the world's biggest joke! Hmph!"

"What can be done about it? The astral dynamic obviously indicated the star landing in Dongxuan and a consequential rising future which is the sign of hegemony, the basic foundation of a powerful leader! The astral sign was indeed so when the decision was made, why didn't anyone object then? What didn't anyone oppose it?"

"Hmph, the heaven and earth are never constant, the astral fortune is never definite. Why didn't we speak up then? Was there even a point to speaking up? The school's in your control, who dares say no? We can only fume without being able to speak."

"Nonsense. That was a unanimous decision that was previously made, wanting to take this opportunity to reintroduce the School of Kismet State majestically to the world. By doing so, the school could have recovered their glory hundreds of thousands of years ago and even absorbed the providence through this opportunity. This is the decision that we've made together? Why has it now become our full responsibility when there's a mistake? This is absurd!"

"When this decision was made back then, it was indeed a unanimous one. This is correct but who has agreed to deliver the Kismet State Oracle? That thing is a finality once it's out because it essentially announces a prophecy to the world. How could Dongxuan not have been reckless once they received this trump card? How can all the schools and sects that have stayed reclusive, restrained by their ancestral teaching, not think about disobeying fate and changing their destiny? Of course they wanted to reemerge in the martial world in conjunction with this opportunity but once they stepped out, they were wiped out. In conclusion, it's us, the School of Kismet State, who have tricked them!"

"You're making a bad argument here. Since the decision was made, naturally the Kismet State Oracle has to be released concurrently. What will become of it if it is not sent away? Would we keep it with us? Then how would we go about building our name and fame again? Besides, without the Kismet State Oracle, do you think Dongxuan would have gone about this so wholeheartedly?"

"Whatever it is, the conclusion is that you have made a huge joke out of us, ruining the school's reputation overnight. You all have to bear the responsibilities of it, this is the reality that you can't avoid."

The internal School of Kismet State was a mess of arguments. It was in the end that finally a consensus that was not really a consensus was reached.

"Since the reality has come to this stage, we can only go forward, we can't back down. The reputation of the School of Kismet State must not be damaged nor can its authority be challenged. Going forward, the only route now is that Dongxuan must win this hegemony, whatever it takes. Then, the school will not be wrong and the Kismet State Oracle will still belong to its correct owner!"

The decision was made and the school achieved a consensus.

However, how could the continent hegemony of these five empires be decided by a mere handful of people from a school? Even if the school contained unrivaled experts, what was involved was not the martial world battle but the imperial authority that would reign over the whole continent!

Therefore, the school had decided to send a few people as scouts. It was of absolute importance to understand their enemy and ally.

"How do we go about the scouting?" The man in white looked miserable, weighed down by exasperation.

This was a tricky problem because the truth was not as wholesome as they had told the outside world it was. It was confirmed that they had obviously mistaken the oracle now. Hence, they did not even know where to start salvaging the case – how could they not be troubled?

The man clad in white continued to frown for a long time, thinking hard to determine the source of the issue, but he was as clueless as a headless fly could be.

After some time, the person finally pushed the troubles out of him as he exhaled before rising up high. Now, he was already five thousand feet in the sky which also happened to be the maximum height that his cultivation base could allow him to reach.

Opening his eyes again, he overlooked Tiantang City. He had an impressive view of the city now without a single obstacle in his sight.

"The previous judgement wasn't a mistake but there is a shocking change that has taken place. It must be the providence! Ninety-nine percent of this issue must lie within Yutang; no matter how the countries are affected, it can hardly cause such an interruption. As for the location with the most impressive providence in the Empire of Yutang, it's none other than its capital, Tiantang City. A thing or two will surely be noticed if this city's fortune is carefully observed!"

The man in white executed an arcane unique to the School of Kismet State in order to meticulously observe the entire course of Tiantang City's destiny. It had been a good hour until his cultivation base could barely support him any longer, that the moment of eureka suddenly hit him and he finally saw a clue.

This discovery struck the man in white into a stupor. Stunned, his body fell like a meteor; such an expert would have collapsed in embarrassment due to it.

"It's actually here? How is it here?"

These two questions struck the man in white at the same time. He was befuddled and his confusion was just increasing.

After a moment, the person rose again, and after some rest and adjusting so that his cultivation base could return to his prime. This time, he focused all his attention on a spot. The end where his focused fell was covered in thick clouds – where else could it be if not the Residence of Nine Supremes!

The School of Kismet State's people were the finest in observing the providence of heaven and earth as well its destiny and fate. There had never been a mistake. For the Empire of Yutang to break the prophecy and possess a strengthening providence from an expected weaker one, the school's men were in disbelief regarding these recent shocking changes. At the same time, they had observed and identified countless of other times where they had made a mistake – but how could such a vast change occur? It was a pity that no one managed to find a clue so far.

This man clothed in white had made plenty of observations, like the one today, throughout an extended period of time. He had watched the Residence of Nine Supremes more than a dozen of times. There was no previous discovery made, only lingering fog that refused to dissipate.

The lingering thick fog had always been a peculiarity of the Residence of Nine Supremes. It was always at this point that questions could no longer be asked. Only this time, when he overlooked the structure from the highest altitude, he had unexpectedly found out that the Residence of Nine Supremes actually had…

"The Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole?! Is that really the Gaseous Purple Celestial Pole?"
