Heavenly Doyen

Those chosen by the heavens, individuals pampered and loved by the Heavenly Daos, embodiment of the ten thousand laws who rise up with destiny—these are the beings known as Heavenly Doyens. Every single Doyen is someone chosen by the heavens and enjoys exceptional blessings. Whether in terms of strength, comprehension, or talent, they stand as apex existences. However, this apex… it usually isn’t something you achieve by relying on yourself…” The Earth Cauldron suddenly paused for some reason.
“Not by relying on yourself? Then what does it rely on?” asked Long Chen in confusion.
“It relies on the accumulation of your ancestors or the favour of the Heavenly Daos. An explosion of luck can propel one into the ranks of Doyens. Take that Earth Spirit race girl for instance. The accumulated blessings spanning millions of years from the Earth Spirit race have been channelled into her, giving her the chance to become a Heavenly Doyen. Without that accumulation of luck from the Earth Spirit race, no matter how good her talent is, it would have been meaningless. Sometimes, there is no such thing as fairness when it comes to the Heavenly Daos,” explained the Earth Cauldron.
Long Chen was startled. For the Earth Cauldron to say this, didn’t that mean that becoming a Heavenly Doyen depended solely on the heavens?
If that was the case, there was no chance that he would become a Doyen. The heavens were always against him.
“Then let me ask you, if Heavenly Doyens represent the heavens, doesn’t that mean they guide the growth of the world?” inquired Long Chen.
“In theory, yes.”
Long Chen couldn’t help but press on. “But the Heavenly Daos are supposed to be a natural and autonomous cycle. If the Heavenly Daos are directed by others, can they still be considered the Heavenly Daos?”
“That’s a good question,” the Earth Cauldron commended Long Chen.
“Whether or not the Heavenly Daos remain true to their nature isn’t important. What matters is that you comprehend the essence of the Heavenly Daos.”
“Are you saying that the Heavenly Daos have changed?” asked Long Chen.
“I didn’t say anything.”
Long Chen was stunned. The Earth Cauldron was speaking vaguely, as if guiding him somewhere without saying it directly. Long Chen seemed to realize something yet also wasn’t sure what it was.
Above them are Heavenly Chosens.
