Overgod Ch46

 Chapter 46: Fate

"Young Master Ming is early!"

"Young Master is polite!"

In the early morning, the servant girl in Wu Family Fort discovered a new hobby of Wu Ming.

No matter who he meets, he would always like to look up and down running around in a circle, making the people's heart scared.

The maids who looked forward to flying on the branch and becoming a Phoenix naturally blushed and their hearts beat. They looked forward to it and secretly made gestures but the other servants had tight chrysanthemum and were struggling with their asses' chastity.

"Um... Fate and luck are normal... but when I'm in the Wu Family Fortress, I have strong luck. There's no ghosts and evil things either..."

But he didn't know that these men and women were thinking too much in their hearts, Wu Ming was just looking at their fate and luck.

"It's all white...Does it mean ordinary people?"

"And... I watched more than a dozen people in a row, and I'm not exhausted. It can be seen that this technique consumes very little..."

"What's even more amazing is that all the forms and colors of Luck Qi are all in my eyes. It's no longer a Spiritual Eye, but a godly eye! Heavenly Eye!!!"

This existence is reasonable.

Not that he confirmed that his Spiritual Eye Technique had godly effects, it was likely that it was the gift from the Overgod Palace. Wu Ming was relieved and just insurance,  the secret art will be shown to Wu Qing.

"I have seen Young Master!"

After turning around the school, Wu Tiehu stepped forward to salute, but Wu Ming's eyes jumped: "I finally saw a few different things..."

In his eyes, Zhao Song and Wu Tiehu were full of white qi on top of them, forming a mass. Traces of scarlet and even black qi lingered outside.

"Black Qi... is it a deadly Army Qi?"

"And... this Wu Tiehu..."

Compared with Township Inspector Zhao Song, Wu Tiehu's luck qi on the top of him is even stronger. There was even a layer of mysterious light, which seemed to correspond to Heaven and Earth. The luck qi was constantly fluctuating and it wanted to swallow and grow -- In comparison, this man's lingering deadly Army Qi was several times of Zhao Song's.

"Does Young Master have orders?"

Naturally, Wu Tiehu didn't know that he had been under the spotlight, and couldn't help but ask when he saw Wu Ming groaning.

"No! Nothing...you are good to train!"

After sending the two away, Wu Ming recalled Wu Tiehu's abnormality but was a little surprised: "What is this? Heaven-dropped great luck? A fiend to-be?"

Thinking all the way, came to Wu Qing's room again: "Elder Sister, are you be here?"

"Little brother, is there something?"

There were no winds, but the doors automatically opened on both sides, revealing Wu Qing's slender figure. 

At this time, she changed her Daoist dress and put on a pink palace dress. The flowers and clouds really added three points in charm, but when she stood with her hands behind her, she looked like a painting on the wall.

When Wu Ming saw it, he saw a picture of bamboo branches on the wall, and his face became a little red.

"On the turquoise willow at the river level, Wen Lang thread ashore to sing.

“杨柳青青江水平，闻郎岸上踏歌声。

The sunrise from the east, the rainfall in the west; there is no clear path to the Dao."

东边日出西边雨，道是无晴却有晴。”

[1]

On this occasion, the painting was carefully mounted and even the drawing axis was made of fine red sandalwood. Obviously, Wu Qing was very fond of this.

"I was drunk that day, sister, don't make fun of me anymore..."

Wu Ming touched his nose and smiled bitterly.

He remembered this poem in his previous life and made it, but it was used to make fun of Wu Qing. But he didn't want Wu Qing to see it, but he liked it very much.

"Your New Year gift, I like it very much!"

Wu Qing just smiled: "Little brother has made progress, this poem has Dao rhyme!"

"Cough cough."

Wu Ming coughed, "This younger brother has come this time because there's something that sister must take a look. Daoist Qingping of last time left an interesting Spiritual Eye method and it says that I can observe luck with it!"

"Although there have been many ways to observe qi, those who can see qi luck are all valuable!"

Wu Qing was a little moved, and immediately smiled again: "The Qingping Taoist, as far as you are concerned, is like a money-gifting boy!"

After taking a look, she was startled again.

It was only after a long time before her serious complexion turned into a sigh: "I still have underestimated this person. I didn't think that he could not only see Luck Qi but also Earth Qi. This method is not inferior to the Peaceful Cloud's Dao Institute's "Consonance Bright God Eye". It's a contribution, it's a contribution..."

"It's just... using this method, it seems that you can't see too clearly!" Wu Ming said deliberately in distress.

"Use?" 

Wu Qing was taken back and immediately re-evaluated Wu Ming with a deep smile on her face, "Very well, you may be granted with a Daoist urn. Breaking this barrier, and you can go to the Dao Institute to receive the Dao Certificate. If you are an ordinary person, you can get rid of your citizenship, be freed from servitude, travel the world, and don't need official documents when passing borders. Unfortunately, you're just a chicken!"

"The term "chicken ribs" is used well! This younger brother still likes the idle clouds and wild cranes, and there is no need to restrain them for no reason!"

Wu Ming touched his nose.

"As soon as you enter the door, you can't help it..."

Wu Qing sighed but didn't insist: "You could practice this method overnight, it seems that you have a talent for Fengshui and divination..."

"As for the lack of clarity, it is normal. After all... Fate is the foundation of human beings. How can it be exposed at will? As for seeking dragon veins, you will be punished severely by the Heavens, don't take it lightly!"

Seeing Wu Qing was serious, Wu Ming could only nod his head obediently.

But at this moment, his heart moved silently, and he looked at Wu Qing.

In an instant, Wu Ming could see a golden red cloud-like auspicious aura and surrounded a steaming fire. There was also another scarlet sword, which fluctuated up and down, and was spitting out luck.

‘This...it’s dozens of times bigger than mine! ’

Wu Ming was amazed in his heart, and immediately after, it seemed to be in the center of the golden-red cloud, there was a faint azure color.

He wanted to look at it again, but his eyes hurt. Knowing that his consumption has reached its limit, quietly stopped the film, and shook his head: "My sister... really... is born extraordinary! I, Wu Tiehu, and the entire Wu Family Fort, I'm afraid, is not as good as..."

"You?"

Wu Qing seemed to feel something and glanced at Wu Ming.

"Nothing..." Wu Ming laughed dryly: "Let's not talk about Earth Dragons and Fengshui, I'm very interested in this Fate subject. Elder sis, please tell me more."

"Do you want to study this?"

Wu Qing rolled her eyes: "In the past, this kind of gaze can only be used by adults, but cannot help oneself. With a little success, being able to see the general direction of fate, even for foreigners, you would be sought for by every means possible, and you will live a carefree life not worrying about food and such... If you can go deeper and study Fate, you can a guest of princes!"

"If you can point to True Dragons and Earth Veins, can you see the general trend of Heavens?" Wu Ming asked curiously.

"This kind of person... is naturally killed! Otherwise, would there room for other people?" Wu Qing seemed to smile but made Wu Ming's heart startled.

Knowing that Wu Qing was reminding him that the way of looking at Qu is beneficial and harmless, but it is easy to cause disaster if he went too deep.

However, Wu Ming's situation is different; he was entangled to it in every way possible. He promised that he was just curious and would not go deeper and after Wu Qing revealed an 'afraid for you' expression, he thought about it and slowly said:

"It's difficult to plot Earth Veins and peek into Heavenly Fate, even professional would suffer a backlash if they do so! I don't understand the principle so I won't tell you but Elder Sister once saw a physiognomy book in the Dao Institute's collection. It was talking about human physiognomy, so I can tell you about it!"

"Luck! They always talk about luck. This luck refers to the 'vessel [of luck]'. Luck Qi is just luck's 'manifestation'."

"When I refer to a 'vessel', I mean their Luck and Fate. Those represent the potential of a person, the greatest heights they might reach."

"'Luck' is a foreign power while Fate is an acquired achievement granted by the Heavens!"

"The luck of a person and the luck of their surroundings are as intertwined as a cup and the water it holds. If one's individual luck, their fate, is the cup, then the general luck of the people around them would be the water. If a person is destined for greatness but the people around them aren't, then no matter what happens, that cup will always be an empty cup. It'll never be the best it can be. If the luck of the people around someone is great but the person is destined to be unlucky, then the water will overflow. The cup may crack, leading to an early death. A person will only flourish when all luck is equal!"

 [2]

Wu Ming frowned: "If you say this, then we are all limited by fate, and we shouldn't struggle against fate, why can't we just look at fate?"

"For those with good luck, fate is hard to change but it's not like there are no ways to change fate!"

Wu Qing said: "Originally... a normal person would live a poor life so his luck is far below the upper limit of his fate. So it goes without saying, and even it arrives, there are ways to change one's fate!"

"How to change your fate?"

"One, Heaven; Two, Earth; Three, Fengshui; Four, Secret Virtue; Fifth, Study!" Wu Qing said solemnly, "And the power of the people and go against the sky. After the calamity, you can change your fate!"

"The fate pattern includes crape myrtle, dragon, star, etc. Luck Qi also has different colors and shapes. Based on the five virtues, black is evil, white is flat, red is good, and gold is noble, while azure-purple are noble spirits!"

"The beauty of this change lies in one's mind, but although luck is valuable, it must be combined with the general situation of the world. It is not something that can be obtained from books..."

"Little brother has been taught!"

Wu Ming saluted solemnly, but then took another look at Wu Qing.

In the cloud of scarlet gold, the azure color was a little conspicuous. 

'According to my sister herself, her own fate is extremely noble. But I don't know my own?'

At this time, he also knew that if he replaced Daoist Qingping, he would only see some red colors.

Even more advanced, you may be able to see gold.

There is no one in this world who can see the short sword; not to mention, the natal cyan-blue directly.

Moreover, even if a wise man saw this, there might be a backlash.

"Can a person even do it?"

A thought suddenly passed through his mind.

After leaving, Wu Ming was very worried, found a bronze mirror, and used the magical abilities of his eyes.

Just above, there was a young man shining brightly. He was successful in cultivation and red and white Qi lingered, with a pattern of small wealth.

Around there was some Black Qi and Evil Qi, which came from his grasp in the Township Militia and the malice of the Zhou family.

"But... where is my Natal Fate and what is my fate?"

Wu Ming pressed his lips tightly and looked at it carefully. This time, he could see that in the middle of his red and white clouds, there was a dark and black color.

Unlike Wu Tiehu and the others' Army Black Qi which came from their military spirits, this black color is directly entangled to his fate, making Wu Ming's heart frightened.

"Ominous Primary Black, this is... calamity aura?!"

Wu Ming gritted his teeth: "And... my natal fate remains unseen. Could it be the change brought by the Overgod Palace?"

[1]: I've googled up myself but the original poem is 杨柳青青江水平,闻郎江上踏歌声.东边日出西边雨,道是无情胜有情. which translates to "On the turquoise willow at the river level, hear the singing on the Langjiang River. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, the Way (as in the Dao) is more ruthless than sentimental."

I think that the author had made a typo that entirely changed the meaning of the poem but oh well. Comment below if I should fix the typo for him or just leave it be.

[2]: I thank Passerby and Shibb sensei from Novel updates for this section about luck, fate and etc. It's really hard to comprehend and a lot of terms are thrown around here. Although it is made clearer here, don't expect me to memorize this and put it in future chapters. What is here stays here, and I shall forget it in the future.

***I'll try to update the terms here in the future when I understand more about this... or not.
