Among a Thousand Paths, Choose Only Three (Part One)

An example?

Inside the sixth quiet room, Andrew Han blinked his clear eyes, took two gentle breaths, his startled and uncertain anxiety gradually settling back into his usual calm.

He fell silent, quietly watching the imposing and inscrutable Master Xu.

This is the core hall of the Star-Sky Humans.

Setting aside Void Rift Tier and Cosmic Eternal Realm for now. The Archaic Hall contains not only those called true strong ones of the Cosmic Eternal Realm, but even the supreme existences of the Star-Sky Humans... To see through one's own Mo-Tai Legacy here is hardly surprising.

Moreover.

On the level of the Human Race as a whole, the Mo-Tai Legacy is of no real concern.

The only thing that truly puzzled Andrew was this novel term—"fate traces"... He had never heard of the concept of fate traces before.

Not only that, even the concept of fate itself is almost nonexistent!

In the Chenriver Empire's star-net, and even in the Archaic Hall's archive information room, records on fate are extremely scarce—either empty philosophical speculation or vague imaginings, never explaining what fate actually is.

On the other side.

Sensing Andrew's confusion, Master Xu touched the flame at his brow and smiled lightly: "Don't be so tense."

He explained to Andrew that any Human who could see through Andrew's Mo-Tai Legacy would not harbor greed or ill intentions. At least below the Cosmic Eternal Realm, very few beings could discern Andrew's Mo-Tai Legacy up close.

As for fate traces...

Master Xu did not explain further, only brushing past the subject with fragmentary hints that left Andrew puzzled: "If I have the chance in the future, I'll naturally understand? Fate involves realms that actually surpass even Ultimate Profound Traits?"

Ultimate Profound Traits represent the strongest powers.

Although Stellar Palace-tier beings are qualified to cultivate them, one must use the entire Stellar Palace realm as a foundation before forging and evolving an Ultimate Profound Trait upon advancing to Void Rift Tier. To put it plainly, even some true strong ones never form a single Ultimate Profound Trait.

For example, the Primeval-tier Genius Hao Gu, after a lifetime of study and enlightenment, grasped only one Ultimate Profound Trait.

In short: taking the life-gene path as an example, grasping one Ultimate Profound Trait makes you a Primeval-tier Genius. Grasping multiple Ultimate Profound Traits makes you an Eternal King whose name endures.

Genius, King, Heaven-Venerable—all are different degrees of genius.

As of now.

Andrew is a Primordial-tier Genius, one of the three major Genius levels—pursued from below by Hengsha Geniuses, and overseen from above by Primeval Geniuses.

...

Time passed, and Andrew kept asking questions.

Master Xu had no chance to give examples, as Andrew kept asking.

As he communicated with Master Xu, Andrew gradually sensed that Master Xu was probably not a regular resident of the Primordial Gate Famous Masters Pavilion. After recalling, he realized that the roster of Famous Masters did not include the surname Xu.

Then.

Could the Master Xu before him actually be a fake, a pretender, an impostor?

The thought rose in Andrew's mind, but he instantly dismissed it. This was the Primordial Gate of the Spark-Heritage Zone in the Archaic Hall—even the highest lifeforms of other races could not hope to infiltrate the Human Race's core hall by disguise.

If my guess is correct...
