章 408: Brightest star

To begin with... What was destiny really?

Some people often used phrases like "you and I were destined to be together" to express their love, implying that their affection for each other went beyond the mundane. Other people sometimes used phrases like "if destiny wills it" to somehow soften goodbyes and leave countless paths open.

No one really knew if destiny was an entity that existed or not. No one knew if destiny was just a creation of the imagination of mankind or other thinking beings.

However, what was certain was that destiny, non-existent or existing, was that which secretly controlled all the life of every animate or inanimate object that existed... So, what would happen if the thread that represented the destiny of an existence was destroyed? No one knew, since no one could control a power so terrifying as this.

Shen Xinya felt that a new door had opened before her as she scanned the countless threads of destiny shimmering all around her.
