What is fate? There are countless interpretations of this word: rich and poor, encounters, the course of life, those erratic trajectories, elusive ups and downs, or the mysterious and unknowable providence
If destiny is really an unknowable and unchangeable existence, this kind of existence would have no meaning. The Heavenly Book came down to the world, and the life on the mainland began to practice, and began to borrow power from the starry sky to transform nature. Practitioners naturally would not accept this kind of conclusion. They will think about what their destiny is, face it with a fearless spirit, and have the courage to make changes.
The beginning of every practitioner's relationship with the world is the night when the fate star is determined, so people's understanding of fate finally falls into the vast sea of stars in the night sky.
Since ancient times, the stars in the night sky, regardless of their position or brightness, have been constant and constant, shining solemnly and eternally on the world. The connections between countless stars are naturally infinitely complicated, and it is impossible to fully describe them. Those lines The composition pattern is even more so.
Looking up at the starry sky, people will see the palpitatingly beautiful and palpitatingly complex patterns, and naturally think that there are profound meanings hidden in those patterns.
Countless years ago, the former sages and great powers in the state religion faintly observed some kind of induction between heaven and man, and speculated that there was a kind of power in the starry sky, which was secretly affecting the luck of the entire continent.
And for each individual life, his fate star, the star fields around it, and the interconnection with the entire starry sky, or it is the fate of this individual life.
— This kind of statement just fits the most philosophical and also the most difficult to understand explanation of fate in Taoism: fate is the general theory of the trajectory of people and people.
The infinite starry sky can accommodate countless lives, and can accommodate countless sustenance and hopes. No matter how mysterious the destiny is for an individual, there must be a corresponding description in it.
It can be said that after a person is born, his fate trajectory will find a corresponding description in the starry sky. It can also be said that before a person is born, his fate already exists in that piece of starry sky, or a short line lines, or a magnificent star map.
If practitioners want to change their own destiny, they must change the lines or patterns that describe their own destiny. First, they must change the position or brightness of their own destiny star. And if you can really change the position and brightness of the fate star according to your own wishes, then the connection with other stars around you will naturally change accordingly. In other words, the fate of many people will change accordingly. And change.
Destiny never exists independently. Everyone's fate is closely related to the fate of others. It is still the interpretation in Taoism: fate is the general theory of the trajectory of movement between people.
It's just that for hundreds of millions of years, the records left by countless stargazers in the mainland show that the stars in the night sky do not move, no matter their position or brightness, they have never changed. It sounds completely impossible to change your destiny by moving your own star things. Who has the ability to stand on the ground and influence Tianling? Who can reach out for stars in the world? In the last volume of the Dao Canon’s General Theory, there are about 600 words in the chapters related to fate, and only in the second paragraph is a simple possibility that when a practitioner enters the real realm of great freedom, it may be possible to do Up to this point, however, the realm of great freedom is more mysterious than the legendary realm of hidden gods. It has always existed only in imagination, like a myth, how can it be taken seriously
So, has anyone successfully changed their fate against the sky? According to the records in Daozang or the official statement, such a thing has never happened on the mainland since the Heavenly Book came into the world. Even if it did happen, because there is no evidence and because the influence is too great, no one dares to discuss it publicly.
In fact, there has been a certain saying among the people, or guesses, that in the past thousand years, there should have been three changes of fate against the sky.
Only those involved who were suspected of changing their fate against the sky three times have the ability to completely erase all the records in Qintianjian and many star gaze pavilions, and have the authority to make the entire human world dare not discuss this matter, because that The people who changed their fate three times against the sky were all the emperors of the mainland.
Those three people were the Great Zhou Emperor Taizu, Taizong Emperor and... the Holy Empress.

Thousands of years ago, the government of the former kingdom was corrupt, and the people were in dire straits. In the north, there were demon clans who looked down on the tiger, and in the south, there were various families who were renounced and betrayed their virtue. Countless rebel armies rose up and went to war again and again. The country was about to collapse.
In the continuous flames of war, countless powerhouses emerged on the mainland, and even several great powerhouses from the holy realm appeared in succession. This was also the first outbreak period of the practice world.
All of a sudden, the king's flag changed at the head of Luoyang City. Today a certain general led the deposed emperor to the Eastern Hills, and tomorrow the second son of the Xiao family in the south changed himself and proclaimed himself Sima. The strong man will go to Qing Jun's side, and no one knows who will clean up this broken country in the end.
Taizu was the governor of Tianshui County back then. Because he was related to a favorite concubine of the abandoned emperor, he was quite trusted. He was ordered to guard the city. It can be said that he is low-key, or he is very mediocre. , who dared not take a step out of Qishan for several years in a row, was extremely mediocre in the eyes of the world, compared with those radiant heroes at that time, how bleak and dull, no one thought that he might win the world, when pointing the country , His name is often not mentioned. People just think that Tianshui County has a good geographical location, and Taizu gave birth to several Yinghui sons, so they should be able to protect themselves with the word forbearance in this turbulent age. Look at the general trend of the world and then choose the master to vote.
Who would have thought that after a few years, the situation in the mainland changed suddenly, the heroes fought endlessly, and the various forces suffered heavy losses. Taizu recuperated in Tianshui County and gradually became stronger. Overcoming the Seventeenth City, allied with the southern families, and received the full support of Taoist believers, they defeated the famous Huqiu rebel army outside Luoyang City, successfully entered Luoyang City, and captured Kyoto in the second year. Officially enthroned before the mausoleum, it really dominates the country!
Looking at the history of the founding of the Great Zhou after the fact, there are many unexplainable things, and there are many things that cannot happen logically. Taizu who was still very weak; in the first three bloody battles after Taizu left Qishan, every time he saw the situation was critical, he always turned danger into good luck; there were dozens of fierce battles outside Luoyang City, Taizu should have He died, but he didn't die. It seemed that there was some kind of power protecting him all the time.
If it is luck, this kind of great luck, the luck that lasts for such a long time, it is luck.
After Taizu ascended the throne in Kyoto, the princes brought countless famous generals to fight everywhere, and the southern families and sects proclaimed their vassals. Those who refused to accept the heroes were wiped out one after another. In a short time, the heroes of the world either died or were captured, and they were sent to the capital. However, those strong men are not willing to give in, they cursed endlessly on the execution ground.
There is a saying that has been circulating since then. The reason why Emperor Taizu was able to wash away his mediocrity and come out amidst the powerhouses of the world was because he formed an alliance with the master of Taoism, that is, the pope of that generation more than ten years ago. This secret method changed his fate against the sky, turning his fate star into an emperor star!
